Baker, army warrior, and Ace Hud-

full claimant to shot at Joe Dur-

a softening in the attitude of the

Although Baltimore Joe has been
signed since last November to defend

PACIFICISTS HIT
ADMINISTRATION
NAVY PROGRAM

WASHINGTON Feb. Is P--Spokes-
men for organizations opposed to ex-
pansion of the American navy today
registered an emphatic protest before
the house naval committee against the
administration plans for the construc-
ton of II new warships.
Two witnesses william i. H1 rep
resenting the worlds alliance for in-
ternaticnal friendship and the church
peace union and the Rev Arthur j.
Brown, secretary of the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions, both oppos-
cd the program, but their testimony
did not run along parallel lines.
Hull, after reading q prepared state
ment, was subjected to close question
ing by upwards of a dozen committee
members, two of which accused him
Of eyading the issue and givin, indi-
rect answers. NJ
Brown, who stressed that he was in
favor Of an army and navy for de-
fense and opposed only to the pros
pcctive increase, was complimented by
several menbers,J,. who declared his
views conceded largely with their own.
"There could be no more an ap-
prcpriatc moment than this to talk
about enlarging our naval forces,
Brown declared
Representative Britten, republican,
Illinois, interrupted to say th1t Pre5i-
dent Coolidge regarded the program
which contemplates the construction
of 25 cruisers, five aircraft carriers
nine destroyer leaders and So subma-
rines, largely as a replacement pro-
gram.
If thlt is the case, Brown replied,
the program has been misrepresented
and misunderstood throughout the
world. He stressed that he had un-
derstood that the proposed construc-
ton would constitute an increase and
was not designed to replace old ships,
principally % obsolete cruisers, OF
which only six are i'll active commits
sion.
Chairman Butler said that he must
confess" that it was only yesterday that
he had heard the program referred to
as a replacement plan.
Brown declared that whether the
existing naval ratio was "5-5-3, or s.
5-3.9, or 5-4-32, this is not the time
to talk about it." He added that "there
is such thing as psychological
moment and that with the world talk
ing of peace, it was disheartening to
hear America concerned with the pre-
war psychology of ornaments
Talk OF a large American navy is
being effectively used by militarists in
japan to support their contention that
America is preparing to attack Japan,
he declared, and in turn the state
ments of the Japanese militarists are
being used here as an argument that
America prepare for war.

EARL OF OXFORD
WILL BE BURIED
A T OLD HOME

SUTTON COURTENAY, England,
Feb. Is tH1-- While eminent men and
the press of Great Britain praised
the Earl of Oxford's Dfe of servica
and mourned his death, the body OF
the aged statesman who died at his
home here was carried tonight to the
parish church of Sutton Courtenay,
where it will rest until interment.
The Earl will be buried privately,
and not in Westminster Abbey, as
expected. This announcement was
made by the family and the decision
was in accordance with the special
wish expressed by Lord Oxford some
time ago.
A memorial service for the former
premier, however, will be held in the
abbey Feb. 81.
Praise of the Earl OF Oxford and
ASquith as great partlimentarian
forceful gracious debater, and an
unselfish servant of the nations well
fare, is contained in thousands Of
messages OF. coincidence published and
received by his widow. All recall
his activities in the early days of the
war, when, as prime minister he
breathed the British spirit or ccnfi-
dent courage.
Many proudly remember his de-
claration in the face of Germanys
seemingly irresistible advance when
he said:
"We shall never sheath the swords
which we have not lightly drawn until
Belgium RECEIVERS in full measure all
and more than all, she has sacrificed,
until France is adequately secured
against the menace OF aggression;
until the rights Of the smaller ma
tionalities OF Europe are placed upon
an unassailable foundation. and until
the military domination OF Prussia is
wholly and finally destroyed"

cause OF charges against nm in
California that grew cut of his failure

DR.. PUEYRREDON
REPORTED READY
TO QUIT PLACE

HAVANA, Feb. Is tP-Reports that
Honorio Pueyrredon, irreconcilable Ar
gentine leader, had rendered his resig-
nation to the Buenos Aires govern
ment did not deter the Pan-Americaa
conference from completing the first
reading of the american union
convention today by approving the last
article. This was designed especially
to save the unanimous desires of all
the other American republics from be-
ing frustrated by one country.
R,Cnors that DR.. Ptpyrredon had
resigned dominated the conference
building when it was noted that the
Argentine delegation was absent from
the meeting of the committee of Pan
American union affairs this morning,
at which a proposition bearing vitally
upon Pueyrredon's attitude came up
for discussion.
The rurnors were greatly strength
ened a.few hours later when DR.. Puey-
rTedon. after being unavailable all
morning, even to members Of his own
delegation, said he could not discuss
whether he had rendered his resigna-
ton AT his headquarters it was learn
ed, however, that his stand was firm
ly established in favor of resigning
both from his position here and from
the arnbassado adorship at Washington, If
ordered by his government to sign a
convention of which he disapproved.
The an-American union committee
met in the morning determined to put
an end to the crisis which was pre-
-. korl a hu
Argentine inSistence that the proposed
convention to regulate the activities Of
the union should include specifically
the necessity Of reducing excessive
tariffs and removing other obstacles
to tho free flow Of inter- American
commerce. .
Spurrcd by reports that the Argen-
tine government doubted the advis-
ability OF standing alone. in this de-
mand, the committee considered and
approved q proposal submitted by Ja-
cobo Varcla, of Uruguay, that the con-
vention be open for later signature
and ratification to the governments
whose delegates failed to affix their
names hero.
The article approved empowers the
plSSlQCIlO OL tlllS COlnS1CAlSG w OAlAlo-
NIT to such governments certified cop
les of the agreement for their con-
sideraticn and possible ratification
and signature The convention would
not become effective until all coun-
tries present It this conference rati-
fled it.
Tho delegates hoped that this provi-i
sion would prevent DR.. Pueyrredon
from killing off the convention by re-
fusing to sign it. as, he announced
since opportunity would be offered
Argentine to repudiate the attitude Of
its representative at the conference.
With the approval of the Varela ar
ticle, the, convention was referred to
the sub committee for the style in
which it is to be finally approved at
the next session of the committee.
Under the agreement IS it now
stands the operation of the Pan
American union will not be modified
to any vital extent from the present
form, except that all countries will be
allowed to have special representatives
on the government board instead OF
that body being composed exclusively
of. accredited diplomats at Washington.

TI-IN.JUNCTION
N. Y. SUIT WON
BY UNION LABOR

NEW YORK, Feb. Is GA court
decision hailed by leaders of organized
labor as a far-reaching precedent in
their wide fight against company
unions" was handed down today by
the New York state supreme court.
Contracts between the Interborough
Rapid Transit company and its en-
ployes binding the latter not to JOIN
any but the company union are in
valid, the court held and it refused
to enjoin the American Federation Of
Labor from pressing it's efforts to or
ganize the transit forces.
The company announced an appeal
to the higher courts.
The fight over unionization between
organized labor and the I. r. t., which
has its own company union" has at
tracted more than ordinary attention.
Last July it was about to cause a strike
on lines used by more than 100000
persons when Mayor Walker inter
vened and succeeded in his advocating
OF more peaceable methods.
The /. r. T. asked in supreme court
for injunctions prohibiting the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees of America,
an A. F. of L. body, from organizing
the subway and 81" men. This was
refused today as was another motion
to punish officials Of the Amalgamat-
ed and others for contempt of court.
Justice Wasservogel held that or
ganized labor had not used subversive
methods III it's organizing work among
the 1. r. T. men and that an agree

re supreme court ruling was hailed
as signal victory by organized labor
and it was announced that unioniza-
ton of the I. r. r. men would go for
ward Immediately.

dent of the A. F. of L., said todays
court action demonstrated that the

MUST REAT YANKEES

MCCA DEAF HANhEES
Even with iris Speaker added to
the outfield of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, there isn't a chance that the
AS will cause Miller Higgins to
commit suicide before the 1923 race
is completed
1t isn't against the rules to say
anything as early as February, but
even before the training season starts
it looks as ii the New York Yankees
will repeat in 1923 and that they will
give the National leagues entry in
the fall classic one of those we'll
known bitter struggles.
It also becomes a matter of wonder
who will beat those Yankees out in.
1929.
Colonel Jake Rupert, Miller Hug
gins, Ed Barrow, Frank Roth, Char
ley McNIanus and those officials who.
do not play ball with the Yankees
would consider such a manifesto
ton of faith in their class and their.
ability to last as an omen OF i'll will,
but where is the team in the Ameri-
can league developing to come along
and get them?
1t has been printed that the Babe
again is not taking care OF himself,
and thet he has had only one ses-
sion in the gymnasium this winter.
That single workout is said to have
been for the benefit of the reporters.
Billy Evans, who has known the
Babe ever since the swat king broke
into baseball, saw him at the annual
dinner OF the Baseball Writers AS
sociation in New York recently, anu
in talking about his trip to the big
town had this to say about Ruth:
sT never saw the Babe looking
better in his life. He was fat, but
did you ever sec him when he
wasn't carrying weight? And, by
the way, Buster Gehrig is no chiid!'
Will, SPEAKER HELP
When the Athletics failed last year
in what Connie Mack said was an
ambition to win anotner pennant be-
fore he retired, it was thought that
he might turn to youth for help this
season.
He failed last year with old age
and failed so terribly he could not
have been mistaken that young legs
were needed in the outfield.
But when he told Zach Wheat
goodbye and invited Ty Cobb to
lock for more pay elsewhere, who
should he pick on but--Tris Speaker!
American league players will tell
YOU that Speaker and AL Simmons,
a great ball player, will get along
like strange bulldogs and if Spoke
speaks out of turn to Kid Gleason
there may be bit of bat swinging
not, aimed at the ball.
Speakers addition, unless Mack
wants to send him to some othef
club-and it can't be major league
club because they all waived nm
rather than pay $500 for his serY-
ices---wE1iillF not be Ia great one for the
