NAVY PACT HOPE
LOW HERE
By GEORGE r.. HOLMES

President Coolidge is tstill hope.
full" that way will be found to
bring the five great powers around
conference table to discuss lin1ita-
ton of their auxiliary naval ships
but it is forelorn hope, and one
that even Mr.. Coolidge sees no
chance OF realizing this year.
This much was conceded today by
those most intimately concerned in
the efforts to extend the. work Of
the Washington conference. While
the appearances OF tshopefulness"
must be kept up, actually there is
little prospect Of any success in the
direction of disarmament for q long
time to come. Nothing short OF a
complete change of government In
both France and Italy would be cal.
culated to make those countries
more amenable to the American sug-
gestion, it is believed here.
Nobody in Northumberland that
includes the Diplomatic Corps as
well as the Administration expects
anything concrete or tangible to re.
suit from the discussions to be re-
AneWed at Geneva three weeks hence
Under the auspices Of the League of
Nations. Farnce and Italy and the
small con tinentah powers that are
allied with them are expected to
-don1inate. the Geneva discussions
just as they dominated 1t last sum
mer.5 80
It IS understood that Mr.. Coolidge,
however. is prepared to wait calmly
for the expected breakup of the
Geneva discussions. and then when
their futility has again BEEN demon
strated to the world, renew his irlvi-
tation to- the four principal powers
to gather in a second Washington
conference to deal with conditions
and not theories.

BY international News Service
CWM EBBW VALE, Wales,
March premier and Mrs, Bald
win were subjected to an hostile
demonstration this afternoon when
they visited the scene of the Cwm
cOiliery disaster.
Hundreds of overwrought and
grief stricken miners and widows
Of victims OF the disaster were
gathered in groups about the pit
head, waiting in vain hopes of
some news of rescue OF the men
still entombed, when the premier
and his wife drove up.
Immediately there were boos and
loud and angry imprecations hurled
at the premier and his wife.
Came With Sympathy
1t was evident that much of the
animosity was due to the premier's
policies during the recent mine
strike. i
Send him down the Mines" was
the first shout that greeted the
premier as he drove up to the pit
head.

Nevertheless, both proceeded to
visit homes of dead miners.
At noon today, the rescue parties
came out OF the Cwm mines and
announced they had given up their

There were poignant scenes at the
nit.head as bereaved wives and reIa-
tiyes gathered to identify the dead
and others held out lingering hopes
that some word would come that
their menfolk had been released
from their tomb.
There was much weeping and
moaning. Salvation Army lassies
went among the bereaved and at

Coolidge Signs Bill
To Build 3 Cruisers

President Coolidge today signed
the naval supply bill carrying an
appropriation of $450,00O to start
construction Of three new cruisers.
Congress overrode the Presidents
advice in providing for the cruisers.
Evening star., 1927-12-06

Calling attention to the beginning
of work on the $50. 900, 900 public build
ings program here, the President said:
I'VE have reached time when not
only the conveniences but the archi-
tectural beauty of the public buildings
of the Capital City should be given
much attention.
1T will be necessary to purchase
further land and provide the required
continuing appropriations"
President Coolidge recommended
furtherance of plans for celebrating
the bicentennial of George Washing
toms birth.
'ProViSon is being made to com
memorate the 200th anniversary Of
the birth of Washington" the Presi-
dents message stated Suggestion
has been made for the construction of
- memorial road leading from the
Capital to Mount Vernon, which may
we'll have the consideration of the
Congress, and the commission intrust-
ed with the prepa rations for the Cele
bration will undoubtedly recommend
publication of the complete writings
of Washington and series Of writ
ings by different authors relating to
him"
The favored route proposed for the
memorial boulevard follows the siver's
edge to Alexandria. and thenre over
Hunting Creek to MOunt NerIon. An
alternative route Is more inland. over
the highlands. and avoids Alexandria.
The latter route is cheaper, but does
not afford the possibilities for park
way treatment envisioned by propo-
nents of the lower course. 1t is point
ed out, furthermore. that the Alex
andria route is richer in historic lore
than the Cross-country one.
Sponsors of the memorial project
are expected to bring much pressure
to bear on Congress for appropria
tions with which to begin construc
ton of the boulevard

shipper Mr.. Coolidge said:
Many of the same arguments are
applicable to the consolidation of
Washington traction companies"
Legislation. he said in this connec.

s;-ry procedure to secure such agree

beauty was put ahead of monetary
gain by citizens of oxford yesterday
when the residents of this little oil
town in south central Kansas de-
feated by a vote of almost two to one
a proposal to permit unlimited drilling
of oil wells on the town site.
When the vote was counted last
night there were 1872 for the repeal
and 324 against repeating an ordinance
adopted two months ago by the Town
Council which limits drilling to one
we'll to each city block. The total
vote exceeded by $50 the total number
of ballots cast at the last regular cleo
ton.
Chance for Riches.
For some the outcome meant a
chance for riches. while to others the
towns civic beauty was at stake
Two months ago, when the advance
guard of oil we'll derricks from nearby
pools swooped down on the town, the
city fathers became alarmed as the
rigs began to appear among the house
tops. Having in mind the experience
of Braman. Okla, nearby, where ugly
broken cables and broken bun wheels
remain as silent evidence of another
town overtaken in the lust for riches,
the council members enacted the re-
Strictive ordinance.
Liable to Arrest.
Almost Immediately came the OPP
position of residents as well as oil
well operators. A petition was circu-
lated asking that vote be taken on
hn nd
its call for the special election.
Several operators who have gone
ahead and drilled second we'll on a
city block in violation Of the ordinance
will be liable to arrest.
Six producing wells have been
drilled on the town site. three more
are being drilled in the sand 20
others are drilling and there is one
