VIEWS OF FRANCE
/. ON NAVAL PARLEY

Difference of Opinion on
FinaIity of London Meet
ing Stands in Way.
NEW INTERPRETATION
OF POWER TO BE ASKED
French Expect Second Conference
at Geneva to Settle
Arms Status.
BY LELAND STOWE.


PARIS, October 12.-There is q re-
newed pointing today of the weather.
vane Of French official opinion regard
ing the possibility that French partici-
patton in the proposed five-power naval
conference may be curbed very radi-
cally, If not altogether blocked, by the
wide gap between the Interpretation
given by Washington and by Paris as
to the degree of definiteness that any
ensuing agreement should have.
Quai d'Orsay authorities expressed
great surprise tonight over dispatches
from Washington purporting to reflect
the views of the State Department that
the United States will insist that any
accord reached on world navies should
have immediate validity and be decisive
in itself.
See Preliminary Farley.
The French view during the recent
Anglo American naval discussions has
been that the proposed London confer
ence should, in the words of the semi
official Temps, be preliminary and pre-
paratory" in its findings and that the
hoped-for London agreement could only
be consummated when it had been stud
led by the 'to-be e-convinced- etime"
Geneva conference for diSarmaments.
In other words, the French idea Is
that naval limitation must remain in
definite until It can be patched up and
harmonized with the prospective serial
and terrestrial disarmament. This thesis
has been thought here was recognized
when London issued the invitations to
the flve-power parley. the French claims
for Anglo American admittance of this
fine point being based upon the con-
Guiding sentence of the invitation as
issued by Arthur Henderson, British sec
retary of state for foreign affairs. This
passage states that the British govern
n1ent has never had any intention of
establishing new organism for treat
ing naval disarmament, and adds. ON
the contrary, IL hopes that BY this
means text may be elaborated which
will facilitate the task OF the prepara-
tory disarmament. commission of the
League of Nations and the general con-
ference of disarmament which Will fol-
low" Ee
Regard Geneva Final.
This the French have freely taken
to mean what clearly it does not say,
namely that the decisions of the Lon
don parley would have no definite ap-
plicaton until they had been consid-
cred by the Geneva conference on gen.
eral disarmament. The belief has been
general among American observers here
that the American Government had no
such understanding, but would insist
that the London conference decisions be
as binding as we're those OF the Wash
ington naval conference.

the Washington dispatches to this ef-

Eyewitness descriptions Of the devasta-

work and arrived here with the first
group of survivors. Unofficial estimates
of the dead were between 36 and 40.
Fear th2.. the death list might be

that the wave destroyed bridges and
damaged roads, cutting of communi-

LIQUOR POSSESSION
NOT HELD FELONY
Illinois Judge Makes Clear What
He Said About Guilt for Not
Reporting Violation.

peoria, ILL.,, November 23.-Fcdcral
Judge Louis Fitzhenry made 1T clear to-
day as to what he said about possession
of liquor in his opinion 'upholding the
constitutionality of the Jones law.
In his opinion, Judge Fitzhenry set
out that the buyer of liquor or any one
knowing of violation of the Jones
law was felon-uhless he reported his
knowledge to the proper authorities.
This opinion he based upon a congress
sional act of 1890, which made a felon
of any person knowing of felony and
not reporting it.
Under the provisions of the Jones
law the manufacture, sale and trans
portation of intoxicating liquor are clas-
sified as felonies, while possession is
made only a misdemeanor under the
national prohibition act. When the
question of possession arose yesterday
Judge FitZhenry issued statement to
correct the prevailing impression that
he included any one knowing IF an
others possession of liquor to be felon.
IT don't believe said possession was
a felony, but II did it was incorrect, I"

CLEMENCEAU NEAR
END AS DOCTORS
FIGHT SUFFERING
Vitality AstoniSheS PhySi-
clans, Who Find Patient
Sleeping After Long Crisis.
DREYFUS is AMONG
CALLERS AT HOME
All Paris Gripped With Tensity
and Sympathy for Dying
Former Statesman,

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, November 23.-Former
Premier Georges Clemenceau, veteran
French statesman, was making valiant
fight against death today, but the end
did not seem far off.
When DR.. De Gennes visited him
shortly after noon today, he found his
patient sleeping like child" and
inarveled at the vitality that kept the
Tiger alive after such long crisis and
such acute suffering.
Death may come at any time," the
doctor said. "It is probable that it will
come within "a hours. But with
Clemenceau the miracle is always pos
sible." 1t was plain, however, that this
time the doctor had definitely given
up hope.
The former premier, who has been in
a coma most of the time, regained semi
consciousness when DR.. Laubry, an
other of the medical staff, visited him
this afternoon. But it was only for a
moment, and soon after Prof. Gosset,
kidney specialist, found the patient
unchanged"
Beyond Doctors Power.
The uremia has increased and there
appeared nothing the doctors could do
to eliminate the poison. The former
premier's heart, however, was still
stronger than had been expected in
view of the heavy toll of strength that
has been taken during the past SO hours.
All Paris was gripped with tensity
and sympathy for the dying states
man today. The newspapers, news
agencies and public of1ces were be-
sieged by telephone calls. Among those
who called at the CleInenceau home to-
day was COL Alfred Dreyfus, whose
champion Clemenceau had been many
years ago during the famous Dreyfus
case.
At one time during the night persons
close to him said his kidneys had not
acted in more than IL hours. He has
taken no nourishment except a few
drops Of milk which his nurse managed
to force down his throat.
Pains Defy Narcotics.
Administration Of narcotics failed to
intense was his suffering that his physi-
clan, DR. Degennes, said sadly: Il no
longer recognize the President"
The physicians called at midnight ana
upon leaving gave instructions to be sent
for instantly if there was any sudden
change. The automobile Of Michel
Clemenceau, the Tigers" son, was
brought into the courtyard and drawn
up at the curb, with the chauffeur in his
place ready to push of If needed.
Friends of the former premier re-
called that his father died in almost
exactly similar circumstances after 40
hours of suffering.
Mr.. Clemenceau was taken seriously
Ill only Thursday, although less than. a
month ago his life was threatened by
q cardiac attack.
DR.. Degennes declared, "There is no
hope"
DR.. Laubry commented, "The heart
that has fought so strongly the last IL
years is still good. But he has been
kept from suffering by morphine. He Is
sleeping; that's all we can say"

Broadway alone and the figure will be
raised to S150,0Oo000 in six months.

The danger of Radio Commission
employees having a thankless Thanks
giving because the commission was broke

was averted today when the controller
general authorized the Commerce De-

The Department Of Commerce made
an effort several days ago TO place bonds
to the credit of the eoznmission, but
was halted by ruling from Controller
General McCarl.
Commissioner Lafount took the mat
ter up and found that there was no
fundamental objection to the transfer
of the commerce funds to the Radio
Commission, but that the controller had
objected to the methods being used in
the transfer. The money was imme-
diately made available after technical
difficulties were erased.

SENATE ADJOURNS
FOR WEEK OF REST
Brief Truce Declared Before
Body Convenes in Regu-
lar Session.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Adjournment brought a week-long
truce today in the Senate's never-ending
political warfare and an opportunity for
its members to rest and recuperate be-
fore undertaking the laborious program
of the regular session.
Legislators, wearied from weeks of
wranglin over the tariff bill, turned
toward home, relaxation, recreation and
attention to private business that had
to be deferred while the measure was
before the Senate.
The special session came to its official
conclusion at 10 o'clock last night, al
though so far as actual work was con-
cerned it had ended several hours be-
fore. President Hoover had been in
formed during the day that as far as
possible the work it was called into be-
ing to do had been accomplished.
ii Senators Attend Final Session.
A l5-minute session of the Senate
just prior to the hour of adjournment
was filled principally with the calling of
the roll. Eleven Senators were in the
chamber when Vice President Curtis
raped for order. Heflin of Alabama
attempted to begin the delivery of
speech, but Fess of Ohio demanded a
quorum call, which was never COM
pleted.
The Senates revision of the House
tariff bill-less than half completed
when adjournment came-may not be
resumed until after the Christmas holi-
days. Under tentative plans of pre-
cedure the month of December will be
devoted to consideration of the question
OF seating William s. Ware as Senator
from pennsylvania and enactment of
the administrations proposal for
Sl6O,OOO,OOO reduction in Federal taxes.
Meeting again on December 2, the
Senate will, by agreement, take up the
ware case and carry it through to final
vote. Meanwhile, the House will be at
WORK upon the tax measure, which is
expected to be ready for the Senate by
the time it had seated or refused to
seat the Pennsylvania Republican leader.

legislation IS to take the form of joint

brackets, applicable to incomes of the
calendar year 1929. Since returns must

The speed with which the wave trav-
eled along the coast was so great, he

Lamaline operator over the wire. But
her warning was cut short as the wave
caught up the telephone office and car
ried it out to sea. She barely escaped
with her life. The Burin operator was
unable to spread the alarm, so short was
the time before the waves arrival.
Afterward it was found that it had
gouged a channel four feet deep out of
solid rock and had destroyed bridge.
