tions, instead Of striving to achieve that
agreement on methods of limitation
which would justify convoking an in
ternational conference.
Gen. Langovov declared that the
method of limitation of tonnage elabo-
rated by the Russian government would
prevent delegations which he insisted
the system fixed by the Washington
treaty permitted. He alleged that when
the l0,000-ton cruisers took to sea they
really displaced $4,000 tons.
I'm limiting the caliber of guns of
warships, renouncing airplane combat
and prolonging the life of warships we
weaken the destructive force of naval
warfare and diminish the budgets of
navies," he said I'm proposing the i'm
mediate scrapping of airplane carriers
and the gradual replacement of enor-
nous warships by ships of, 10000 tons
we suggest that this be achieved by
1912, the date by which certain of the
powers must replace their old ships I'M
der the terms of the Washington treaty"
Referring to submarines, he explained
that adjustment of underSea.. vessels
was not proposed until total disarma-
ment is feasible, but the Russian plan
wanted them reduced to defensive pro-
portions.
N. Sato Of Japan, the first speaker,
said he wanted to comment ON the
Soviet plan submitted by a state with
which Japan had friendly relations"
but wanted to recall in the most friendly
manner that under the League cove
nant countries were called upon only to
reduce their ornaments to minimum
compatible with national security.
He opposed the Soviet project on the
ground it was too mathematical, also
failed to give sufficient attention to
the special positions of various countries
or the necessities of their defense grow
ing out of special geographical situa-
lions. The Japanese delegate also was
against the project because it provided
for. actual reductions whereas this
question Of figures should be left to
the forthcoming international corfer-
ence. He declared that the preparatory
commission was merely empowered to
build the technical structure for con-
ference and appealed to M. Litvinoff
not to insist upon fixing the figures of
ornaments, believing this would hasten
an accord.

3 am. curfew. the police early today
silenced its orchestra and arrested eight
walters on sanitary and liquor charges.
The management of the Club Intime,
at which Miss Guinan now is hostess.

ing the club TO be part of the Hotel
Harding.
Shortly after the entertainment
started this morning, detectives ordered
Karl Dopita, an assistant manager, to
produce his cabaret license, and when
he was unable to do SO served sum-

explaining to the 60-odd guests why
the entertainment had been stopped,
five detectives of the so-called Dude
Squad" entered They made con-
certed rush for the kitchen. where the

booing the police.
The police raided three other clubs
early today and arrested employees on
charges OF possession of liquor.

DETROIT LAUNCHES
WIDE LIQUOR PROBE
Federal, State, County and
City Investigations Be-
ing Held.
an the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 17-Liquor selling
today is the subject of Investigations or
trials conducted by Federal, State,
county and city enforcement agencies.
The Detroit police trial board has
before 1t the cases of Capt. Joseph A..
BurkheiSer and Sergt. Edward Shaw,
accused of cooperating with rum-run-
ners to prevent seizure of liquor laden
boats by Federal authorities. and also
accused OF converting seized liquor to
their private use.
In Federal Court IL former United
States border customs patrol inspec-
tors face trial on charges Of accepting
brides from importers. Seven former
inspectors have pleaded guilty to the
charge and one has been convicted and
given the maximum sentence of two
years in the Federal Penitentiary at
LeavenWorth, KanS. Nineteen alleged
rum-runners are under indictment for
giving brides to the inspectors and face
trial if they can be brought back from
c. NADIA, whence they have fed.
365 Boats Disappear.
Federal officials are trying to learn
what became of 365 rum-runners' boats
that disappeared after they were seized
while. in the act of smuggling liquor
across the Detroit River from Canada
1t has been asserted that rum-run-
ners employ speed boats that literally
run rings" around slower United
State customs patrol boats and land
liquor at Detroit docks in broad day
light. This charge has been admitted
by Federal enforcement officers, who
explain that the service has been
demoralized by wholesale indictments
against customs inspectors and their
consequent replacement by men of good
reputation, but new at the business of
keeping liquor out of Detroit.
On the other hand, recent efforts of
all law enforcement agencies have
caused rum-running to be regarded as
more hazardous occupation than
formerly. The enactment of the Jones
law has brought statements from many
veteran bootleggers and rum-runners,
according to local newspapers, that the
business was becoming too dangerous;
that they were quitting, because 1.-The
rapS'' were too severe following convic-
tons.
Beer Trade Slackens.
1t has been asserted that little, If any,
Canadian beer is being brought across
the river and that the amount of hard
liquor imported has been reduced. AL
ley beer" has replaced the Canadian
article, 1t is declared, but this also is
becoming scarce following destruction
OF some SO breweries by Federal agents
here.
Police say that the more severe pen
alties imposed on pootleggers by both
Federal and State courts have driven
the less hardened type of bootleggers.
