WASHINGTON STILL
 0F SAME OPINION Determined Not to Reopen Pre-
 Vious Naval Treaty ENGLAND'S NEW PROPOSAL
Latest Suggestion Is to Divide Cruisers Into 10000 and 7,5OO Ton Classifications With Different Armament.

Geneva. June 2s R>-1nformation from American sources indicates that the American delegates at the tri- partite naval conference will abide tenaciously by their decision not to reopen the Washington treaty at Geneva despite Japan's possible sid ing with Great Britain on this ques- ton.
 It is not unlikely that the Japan ese have been given clearly to un- derstand that any move to rediscuss the Washington accord is undesirable as it would only furnish an oppor- tunity to those seeking it to recon sider the whole problem of the American position in the Pacific, in- cluding the American strategical sit- uation.
 New Proposals
 Great Britain today proposed at the technical committee of the tri- partite naval conference that cruisers be divided into two classes, one of 10000 tons carrying eight-inch guns and the other of 7.500 tons with six inch guns.
 Both the American and Japanese delegations requested time to exam inc the proposal ''in the light of the effect it would have on the navies of each power concerned during the life of the treaty."
 A communique issued at the close of this mornings session said that the meeting was devoted ito pre- liminary examination of proposals relating to the cl iser class of ves- sells. The British propose that this class be divided into two classes-an eight-inch cruiser of a maximum dis placement of 10000 tons and 8 six inch cruiser of maximum displace- ment of about 7,500 tons."
 After recording that the Japanese and American delegates asked for time to study the proposal, the com- munique announced that the tech nicians would meet again for pre- liminary discussion on destroyers.
 "We made considerable progress, some forward. some backward and some sideways" one of the Ameri can delegates laughingly remarked as the members left the meeting which lasted three hours. All of the delegates said that the discussion had been full, free, frank and cordial.

White Stons N. Y, Mother Kills Five Children and
 Herself Early Today
FEARED LITTLE ONES
 WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY
Since Death of Father on April IS Family Has Been Destitute, Ac- cording to Neighbors-Children Range in Age from 10 to 2 Years and Mother Was Only 35 Years Old.

White Stone, N. r., June B. (UP)-Mrs. Marie Freedman, 35, and her five young children died in their home today the mother ap- parently 6 suicide by gas.
 Dr. Babcock of Flushing hospital, who was summoned to the Freed man home said all six members of family were dead when he arrived.
 The children were: Theodore, 10, Janet, z, Catherine, 4, Nancy. 3, and Joseph. 2.
 Mrs. Freedman, the police said, turned on the gas of her kitchen stove.
 Family Was Poor
 The Freedmans were poor. The mother of five hungry youngsters. would not ask assistance from her neighbors and was unable by her own endeavor to care for the needs of her family. She feared her chil- dren would be placed in an institu- tion.
 Last night Mrs. Freedman wrote three letters, which were found to- day on the dining room table. She put the four youngest children in bed in one room. Ten-year-old Theo- dore was to remain with his mother, who sought comfort from her eId- est child as she prepared to take the lives of all of them.
 Canaries Alone Alive
 When the doors of the dining room were first opened today, Theo- dore was found clasped in his mothers arms. The other children, except Janet, seemed to have died as they slept. The seven-year- old girl apparently had partly awakened as the fumes of gas spread over the apartment and had attempted to crawl out of bed.
 AS investigators entered the home today. the song of three canaries greeted them. The birds, in a room alone. were the only living things in the house.
 Husband Died April 18
 Mrs. Freedman's husband died April IS. Neighbors said the mother returned here two days ago from Chicago where she had been sum- moned by her husbands parents. The relatives, neighbors said, sug- gested that the five children be placed in an institution. Neighbors saw Mrs. Freedman last night after she put her babies to bed. Joseph Nussbaum, who lives in the same building. smelled gas today. He traced the odor to the Freedman apartment, but hesitated to enter because of the singing of the canaries.
 Finally he summoned a police man. They broke in the door.
 Since the fathers death, neigh bors said. the Freedman children have not had proper food and clothing.

Has Prosperity But
Its in POorIlouse
BY A. C. MURPHY

PARKERSBURG, W. Va, Dec. g.
Secretary Hoover says the nation is
prosperous and President Coolidge
says the country is on the whole pros
porous in spots, but this Industrial
town Of twenty-five thousand inhabi-
tants is not one of the spots. In fact
it could not be less prosperous if it
were in Italy,
For year now, unemployment has
grown by leaps and bounds and it is
said that every third person one meets
is looking for work. There is also a
large number Of people from other
places here who have drifted in mis-
led by fairy stories sent out by the
press and the town boosters of the
plenty of work with big wages to be
gotten at the new rayon plant. This
plant so far has proved a dud, few
getting employment and those who
did, getting such starvation wages
that it but adds to the general poverty
of the town.
Since the cold weather has set in,
the city lookup has been used as a
flop-house and last night seventeen
men sought shelter there from the
cold weather, leaving this morning
without breakfast as the city has no
fund to provide for this.
Mayor For Full Poor House.
Several months ago the mayor an
nounced that the city poor fund had
been exhausted by the many demands
made upon it by needy citizens and
this was the first time that had
ever happened so early in the season.
Since that time the situation has
grown worse and in speaking today
of the many calls made upon him for
help, the mayor said that being with
out funds to help he had advised many
of the applicants to enter the county
infirmary where they will have at
least food and warmth.
The mayor, in lauding this goal of
the workers, is quoted in a town
paper as saying that the infirmary is
under splendid management and
could easily take care of double its
population without added expense to
the county. He also said that unless
the institution is filled to it's capacity
it is an expensive proposition without
the desired results.
Prosperity" Will Fill it.
Just what the desired results of a
full poor-house might be, the mayor
did not specify, but a few more
months of the present brand of Cool
idge-Hoover brand of prosperity, to-
gether with the mayors laudation of
this American institution will fill it
and we will find out without further
explanation on the part of his honor.

The supporters of Ware argued that

themselves might someday be oustec
under similar conditions. The argued
that he was legally entitled to seat

The opponents argued that the humid

The best points scored by the sup
porters came when Senator Cole

declared the exclusion of Ware would
endanger the seats of southern SEN
ators, who won democratic primaries
from which Negro voters were bar
red. He said the senate was setting
a precedent in barring Ware that
would haunt it in the future.
Blease also scored with a declara-
ton that the senate was giving the
