NEWPORT NEWS, Va, February
"a Pl.--Passengers reaching here this
morning on the steamer District of
Columbia from Washington reported
that the City of Annapolis went down
about O'Clock. Whether there was
loss of life they did not know. The
Washington steamer hove to on reach
ing the scene of the accident, but there
was little or nothing she could do,
the passengers having been trans
ferred TO the City of Richmond.
AS the District of Columbia hove to
many OF the passengers aboard her
awakened with start, and with news
that another ship was sinking rushed
TO the deck. The City of Richmond
WAS playing her searchlight on the
City OF Annapolis, and two other
boats, both of them small, were stand
ing by.
There was a gaping hole in the side
of the sinking ship. and the City of
Richmond's bow was badly stove in
a. q result of the collision.
Everything was obScured by heavy
fog. and it is thought that the col
liSion was a result of this. The Dis.
trict of Columbia felt her way out OF
the Potomac and down the bay, her
foghorn sounding at frequent inter
yals.
Women and children left the shir
first, and the transfer was made with
out disorder. this despite the difficulty
of transferring the passengers under

CALCUTTA. India, February "a.
Shoe polish by the ton is coming
here from England to meet the de-
sire of IndiaD natives in cities and
towns to 'outshine" their neigh
bors in the matter of footwear.
Until a few years ago compara-
lively few Indians wore shoes.
European footwear became popular
first in Calcutta, Bombay and the
other cities. gradually spreading
throughout the continent. AT first
the natives never thought of shin
ing their shoes, but now it has be-
come a fetish, and every native
takes the greatest pride in keeping
his shoes glistening to the highest
degree.
The more perfect the shoe shine,
the native believes, the greater the
envy of all his fellow beings.

Verbal explanation of Italy's attitude
on the American proposal for a five
power naval limitation conference at
Geneva, made by the Italian Ambassa-
dor at the State Department at the
time of the delivery of the formal Ital-
ian refusal to participate, are believed
to have softened considerably the gen.
eral effect of the Italian note.
Whether these conversations have
been sufficient to warrant a belief that
Italy ultimately can be induced to ac-
cept the American plan with slight
notifications has not been disclosed.
The State Department refused to indi.
cate the nature of the Ambassador s
explanations.
France Is Factor.
Despite the official reticence there is
reason to believe that Italys inability
to join in the proposed conference un-
der the original suggestion arose from
the fact that the American proposal
left the question of Italian and French
| ratios entirely open for settlement at
Geneva, although it indicated the
American desire to maintain the
5-5-3 ratios in auxiliary ships as be-
tween the United States Great Britain
and Japan.
Italy has always regarded the
achievement of her delegation at the
Washington Arms Conference in
adding an agreement for naval equal
| ity in capital ships and air carriers
between France and Italy as most
vitally important.
Naval Parity Question.
| The proposal for a new treaty
| applying to smaller craft did not in
sure this naval parity for France and
Italy, the question having been left
! open by President Coolidge.
In some quarters it is believed that
Italy's attitude on the new proposal
might have been more acquiescent If
the Rome government had been able
[ to read into the American memoran-
| dunn some assurance for continued
naval parity for Italy with France.

It's hard lines to be star and
yet not be able to take a vacation.
Yet that is the predicament Of
Lillian Leitzel. the dainty aerial
queen among the 500 arenic per
formers of the Ringling Brothers
and Barnum 4 Bailey circus coming
here next Friday, Sept. l6, for a
open at p. III.
The smiling Lillian's salary is in
four figures. She owns two auto
mobiles and her Jewels would rival
those of a dowager. Yet she must
keep working. Not for pecuniarv
reasons but because the nature of
her act forbids any prolonged lay
off.
When the petite aerialist stops
her strenuous work on the Roman
rings and flexible rope for even II
week she finds it difficult to get
back into form. Two weeks of rest
would probably prove fatal. There
would come a binding of muscles
and softening of wrists and hands
that could never be corrected.
SO when the circus folds its tents
late in the autumn and goes into
winter quarters, and most of the
other stars plan a .iaunt to Florida
or a winter in California, Lillian
heads for New York, or Europe and
more work. For two winters she
was feature of the Ziegfeld Fol
lies. Prior to the present spring she
played the European capitals. Stunt
ing on Roman rings, forty feet in
the air while scorning the use of a
safety net, seems but child's play

while hanging by one hand from the
end of a rope is Just part of her
