any volunteer fireman who loses his
life while fighting or while en- route to
or from fires in the three Virginia

international Control Opposed.

AS an instance of this, the Ameri-
can declaration against international
control and supervision of disarma-
ment agreements reiterates a pre-
vious statement that such control
lis more calculated to foment i'll will
and suspicion" than to create inter
national confidence. In this state
ment the British, Chilean, Italian,
Japanese and Swedish delegations
Joined. The group of powers also
declared fat unwillingness to accept
anything in the nature of itinerant
inquisitorial commissions"
With reference to the joint commits
sion's observations as to influence OF
material resources on the war
strength of a nation, the American
memorandum pointed out that this
was a separate problem for each
country which "can never be solved
by artificial international agreements. -
since countries rich in raw materials
and Industrial facilities could not be
deprived of these nor countries poorer
in such resources be provided with
them Except through the normal
course of agricultural and industrial
development"

Dawes Retires Early
Vice President Dawes, who has
been leading a fight against the
practice of allowing one senator to
hold up legislation by filibuster,
was obviously amused at the proceed
ing, but he retired shortly after the
dinner hour yesterday and several
president pro tempores were seen in
his chair as the night wore on.
Many of the senator's, called from
their beds, retired to the cloakroom
lounges to resume their slumbers.
Senator Ashurst withstood half a
dozen attempts to halt the filibuster
and served notice he would not yield
"for any motion of any kind so long
as this bill is before the senate.
He said the only recess motion he
would permit would have to be made
by Senator Johnson, who has been
leading the fight for the bill, but
the Californian stood unflinchingly
by his guns to keep the measure on
the floor.
Many attempts were made to stop
the proceedings by a recess but each
was defeated. Shortly before 6 a. M,
proponents of the dam bill were
caught mapping and on rising vote
a recess was ordered. Senator John
son, however, demanded a roll call
and the recess motion was rejected
with four votes to spare.

OLE ETTESTAD'S
GUARANTY FUND
BILL DEFEATED

(Cort'n""a from r"oo onn>
tions committee. Nonpartisans,
who yesterday blocked q TRANSFER
or $7UO,OOO from the highway fund
to the general fund, opposed it,
but were defeated.
l.. l.. Twichell, majority floor
leader, pointed out that a balance
Of $4,000 will be tied up in the
fund for two years unless the
transfer is made and that during
that period it will be of no use to
anyone. Money regularly accru-
ing to the bridge fund will be suf-
ficient to finance construction Of
all bridges asked at the next ses-
sion, he said.
Joseph McGauvran, Cavalier
county. chairman of the committee
on highways and bridges, and Will
liam Watt, Cass county, chairman
of the appropriations committee,
also supported the bill.
J. H. Burkhart, Ward county,
minority floor leader, said he was
unwilling to set precedent by at
lacking the bridge fund in this
manner"
Watt charged that the proposal,
defeated yesterday, to take money
from the road fund had been
agreeable to most of the members
of his committee who had agreed
to support the move, but that some
had turned against it when the
fight came to the floor. Burkhart
denied that he had been a party
to such deal or that he had brCk-
en- faith.

Bills passed today included one
to broaden the powers of the state

a plan for developing the state
