REPLY
READ BY BR|TTEN
Lengthy Explanation of
Naval Conference Suggestion
Made to House Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The reply of Premier Baldwin to Ahe
proposal of Chairman Britten of the
House naval committee for parlia-
mentary discussion of naval limitation
was read to the committee today by
Britten, who coupled it with a lengthy
explanation Of his purpose in suggest
ing the conference.
MFR. Britten, who received the friend
ly'' reply yesterday direct from the
premier, told his colleagues he had not
assumed any pTerogatives of the eXecu-
was to stop this everlasting talk Of
comparative naval strength to say
nothing of the expenditures of billions
OF dollars by both countries"
During the discussion the committee
adopted a resolution by Representative
Vinson, Democrat, Georgia, reiterating
the committees desire for the extern
sion of the 5-5-3 ratio of the Wash
lngton arms treaty to all classes of
warships.
Noting that Premier Baldwin had re-
piled that his official position restricted
his negotiations to heads of govern
ments, Mr. Britten said he had ad-
dressed Baldwin not as a prime minis
ter, but as member of Parliament.
The committee chairman expressed
his belief that the correspondence had
opened the door for another conference
of representatives of Japan, Italy,
France, England and the United States.
The question now is. he said, which
Of the executives of those five govern
ments will assume the leadership while
an expectant tax-burdened world stands
by"
Representative Vinson first suggested
that the committee adopt a resolution
expressing its feeling with regard tc
naval limitation for submittal to Presi-
dent Coolidge. in the hope that hs
might call another conference for nava
limitation on vessels not included ir
the Washington arms conference. Chair
man Britten observed, however, thai
this Government had sponsored two
naval limitation conferences which hac
failed and that the suggestion might

Passes Quieter Night.
The official medical bulletin issued
at Buckingham Palace this forenoon in
dicated that his majesty had passed a
quieter night. Again. however, the
Kings doctors reiterated the diSquiet-
ing phrase that anxiety concerning the
Kings heart must continue. The bull
letin, signed by Sir Stanley Hewett and
Lord Dawson of Penn, read:
"The King has passed a quieter night.
Though anxiety concerning his heart
must continue, the improvement noted
last evening is so far satisfactorily
maintained"
Everything would appear to center
now in the question as to whether
the Kings heavily taxed heart would
stand the strain imposed by fort
nights grievous illness. 1t is understood
that the present condition might con-
tinue for some time without material
change.
Use of Oxygen Not Alarming.
London medical experts were of the
opinion that undoubtedly the admins
tration of oxygen to the King was for
the purpose of relieving the strain on
his heart and that it need not be re-
garded as a sensational step. A few
years ago the use of oxygen was con-
sidered a last extremity. But 1t was
explained that now it is used frequent
ly as precautionary assistance for the
lungs to make the work Of the heart as
easy as possible 1t was acknowledged,
however. that oxygen would not be used
except in very serious cases.
It was understood that the King S
physicians were awaiting an increase in
his majesty's strength now. Their
anxiety was indicated in reports from
the palace to be centered momentarily
atOQ14Q t1lC SOltSLlbAOAl Va LAD 1lCeIl " 4AOP1
was expressed that If the King was
able to pass comfortable day, he i'm
proyement in his condition might be
increased by the time the evening bull
letin was issued.
Physician Remains During Night.
It was learned that Sir Stanley
Hewett had remained at the palace all
night so that he might be in readiness
If the King needed attention. While
unusual, this was not unprecedented
since Sir Stanley on previous occasions
during the Kings illness had stayed al
the palace for the night
Foggy weather. which settled over
London with some prospect Of continu-
ing. may have some slight effect on the
Kings condition. Buckingham Palace
is equipped with air-purifying devices
but experts agree that it obviously
would be better for his majesty If the
weather were generally clear anc
bracing.

CITY HALL BAN

Political styles" change along
with Paris fashions!
The method of collecting political
campaign funds in vogue at city hall
this fall is in striking contrast with
tactics employed by former admins
trations.
Collecting of assessments from
city employees was then a wide
open proposition. On pay day two
husky clerks were stationed at a
desk at the door of the controllers
office.
Police, f1remen and other city
employees filed past the desk" and
paid the usual 10 per cent assess
ment on their monthly salary. Re
ceiptS were issued and every one
expected to kick in" at campaign
time.
But this year Mayor L. Ert Slack,
Democrat, banned collections by city
officials. The mayor pledged a $500
contribution to the Democrats and
announced that employees were free
to contribute what they chose to
any party. Democratic leaders were
not so pleased over the mayor S
edict, but Slack stood pat.
Kirk Mckinney, Democratic sub
treasurer, has been assigned by the
Democratic county committee to ac-
cept city hall contributions. He has
been seen in the building several
times, comforting with Democratic
chieftains and soliciting donations

the holdup.
Gibbs crime is punishable by the

mail train bandits it might be asked
in this case.
"The job was easy as pie" Gibbs
boaSted to his captors. IT boarded

The door was open and in 1 went.
With a pistol, Gibbs forced three
