BRITAIN YIELDS
ON SEA PARITY

The principle Of naval equality
between Great Britain and the
United States Is not to be ques-
toned in the Geneva Naval Con-
ference.
Ambassador Hugh s. Gibson, who
heads the American delegates. ad-
vised Secretary of State Kellogg
today that he has been called upon
by w. C. Bridgeman. first lord of
the admiralty, and Lord Robert
Cecil, with assurances that Great
Britain does not wish to question
the right of the United States to
naval parity.
This seeming about face on the
part OF the British delegates is
understood to have been caused
by London instructions, for only
week ago Bridgeman publicly
and bluntly proclaimed to the con.
ference that American naval
equality was for America "a lux
ury and political by-play."
The disposal of this issue. which
was ranking the American dele
gates, Is expected to make the
path of the conference consider.
ably smoother.

Black Hills, is becoming increas-
lngly difficult because of a same
ness in his daily routine and an
apparent inclination to do nothing
but fish, but there is another dis
tinguished guest of the State VINO
cannot be overlooked, and who
seems to be winning as much, If
not more, popularity as the ex-
ecutive.
Mrs. Coolidge probably is enjoying
this years vacation less than any in
the past. With the exception of
hiking, the Black Hills do not af-
ford any of the recreations of
which she is particularly fond.
Both at Swampscott and at Paul
Smiths, she was able to go swim.

rents of these mountain streams
preclude any indulgence in that

In other vacation seasons. Mrs
Coolidge has also spent considerable
time puttering around the flower
gardens which were a part of the
summer estate. In the Black Hills,
however, wild flowers seem to be
the only form OF ornamental vegefs-
ton that grow well, and no effort is
made to cultivate flower beds.

Rabbi Loeb Asks Row
Among Jews Be Dropped

"Irreconcilable differences" be-
tween the two factions OF Orthodox
Jews In Washington have resulted
from the rift following the installa
ton OF Rabbi Raphael M. Bara
shansky as chief rabbi, by one of
the factions, according to Rabbi J..
T. Loeb, of Ohev Sholem Syna-
gogue.
The controversy was a purely
technical one in its inception, ac-
cording to Rabbi Loeb, since the
office OF chief rabbi is obsolete in
the United States. or late, how
ever, the discussion has "dwindled
to a campaign of personalities" the
rabbi stated. He advised that both
groups give up their conflicting
claims and that the matter be as
far as possible 'quashed."
A meeting of the combined Or
thodox Synagogues of Washington
is to be held July IS, at which a
final effort at settlement Of the
controversy will be made.

IS
HELD At
FAIJLT

Mrs. Ruth snyder's own story
of her life, which has just been
concluded in The Washington
Times, has certainly stirred UP
sentiment in favor of abolition OF
capital punishment.
Two more letters herewith are
printed expressing sympathy fol-
the husband murderer and the
wish that she may escape the
electric chair.
The following from Constant
Reader
Ruth, Snyder has my deepest
sympathy. 1 wonder how many
people can say they never break
the Ten Commandments. Ruth
Snyder broke the Ten Command
ments. 1t is true, she did wrong.
IF Ruth Snyder helped to kill her
husband, her mind must have been
unbalanced at the time. 1t doesn't
seem possible for a person to com.
NIT such a brutal crime in ones
right mind. II such be the case,
Ruth Snyder is to be pitied. Bootleg
whisky and had company are at the
bottom of every crime.
One Never Knows
''I am the mother of a son and
daughter. L plead for Ruth Snyder
because one never knows what
!. whisky and bad company may
cause ones children to do.
''Then. again: Killing Ruth Snyder
won't bring her husband back. Two
wrongs don't make right.
Where is justice?"
81 think of the daughters of both
who must face this world. How
sad?
The temptations OF this world
are hard when woman loves an
other man. Remember and bear in
mind, God created nature in every
one. Why should the world have
the death wish for Ruth Snyder
because she violated the Laws of
God? She was weak like many
others.
Universal Divorce Law
"There should be a universal d.
vorce law throughout our land. Civ
ing every one an equal chance.
Why not give Mrs. Snyder life in
prison? Give her a chance to go
over her life day by day. She
would repent and her soul would
be saved. This is worth something.
III she goes to the chair in her
present condition. she has not a
chance. Give her life for the sake
OF her daughter and mother. They
have heart the same as YOU
and T."
Edward ]. Irvine, jr.. literary
editor Of the Beauty and Life Pub.
fishing Company, 1904 G ST. N. w.
sends the following plea against the
execution of Mrs. Snyder:
Crime Increase Seen
IF Ruth Snyder is put to death
by the State, it will be a dark day
for America in the worlds history.
The time has come for every nation
that considers itself civilized to
abolish capital punishment. If it is
wrong for an individual to kill, it
is far more wrong for society to
murder that individual. Capital
punishment accelerates crime in
stead of preventing it.
NO man Or woman who ever
loved ones mother could consent
to strong men taking the life from
poor Ruth Snyders body. What
cyclists are these who are so eager
TO take a life which they cannot
give, to destroy that marvellous
mechanism. the human anatomy, as
a child would heedlessly destroy a
great invention. or noble work
of art. No man knows TO what
red hell his sightless soul may
stray People of America, save
every condemned creature from
death! Even. the pitiful, cravenly
Judd Gray The, too, had a mother
and was born helpless and lnnocenD:
They who raise not the voice of
mercy now must suffer from the
many voices of conscience forever. y
