 Senator Schanzer for Italy viewed the French program with serious concern" but stuck to his guns on Franco-Italian parity already grant ed as to capital ships.
 That ended the discussion except for a resolution proposed by MT. Hughes and adopted that mo ship of war other than capital ship or aircraft carrier hereafter built shall exceed a total tonnage displacement of 10000 tons and no guns snail be carried by any such ship with a calibre in excess of inches"
 That was the birth of the 8-incn gun cruiser, which has since proved the stumbling block to supplemental British American naval agreement.
 And aside from that, the Wash ington conference was utterly fruit less in it's effort to curb competl- tive building in cruisers, subma- rines and other small craft as it dld in capital ships and airplane car rierS.

Denies He Made Incrimin- ating Statements to
 Two Policemen

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Oct. 23.- Passing more than four hours on the witness stand, Alexander Pan- tages related his version of the alleged frame-up cssertedly staged by Eunice Pringle and also denied much of his own testimony while under cross examination.
 Pantages told Prosecuting Attor- ney Pitts that he had no private office in his suite in which to keep key to a mystery room" He denied the room as designated by his employees as 'Pantages's private office declaring it was a general office and all employees had access to it.
 Pantages said he had not told Miss Pringle he had sold his theatres therefore could not book her act because he "let no one know about my private business" Not on Floor
 Pantages said that during the affair in the room. neither he nor Miss Pringle were on the floor.
 Fitts confronted Pantages with the statement he is asserted to have made to two policemen the night he was arrested "as telling them she disarranged his clothing in manner that as he struggled with hes. he heoa.sss entanglee and fell on the floor" and that he grabbed her ankle, pulling her to the floor to prevent her escaping and exposing us both.v Pantages was asked if he had not stated those things in the presence of the officers and he declared T did not. It's absolutely a false statement made by the police of ficers."
 Pantages said the Pringle girl invited herself into his office but when pointedly questioned admit ted he said "Step in"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-Seven- year -old statements of naval policy made by France, Italy and Japan clearly indicate the problem of diplomacy ahead for the five-power naval reduction conference.
 The European continental powers and Japan made their formal pro- nouncements at the Washington conference of 1921 -'22. They are of textual record in connection with the refusal of the other four conferees, including the Unit e d States even to consider British pro- posals to abolish submarines en- tirely.
 The French answer was to an- nounce a naval building program of 333, 1000 tons of cruisers and 90,000 tons of submarines.
 "The French delegation has been instructed (by resolution of the Paris cabinet and the French su- preme council of national defense) to consent to no concession in re- gard to the above figures" said the statement read to the conference December 28, 1921, by M. Surraut
 Quoting the immediate reply of Arthur Balfour, head of the British delegation, the record continues:
 Tt is perfectly clear that if at Britain's very gates fleet of 9o,0OC tons of submarines (60,000 tons tc be of the newest type) was to be constructed, no limitation of any kind on auxiliary vessels capable of dealing wiht submarines could be admitted by the government he represented. He had no doubt, fl the occasion ever arose, that Great Britain would be equal to it." The original American proposal was 90,000 tons of submarines each for Great Britain and the United States; 54,000 tons for Japan ir the 5-3 ratio, and Italian and French tonnage at a ITS ratio tc the American and British 5.
 Tn desperate eleventh hour at tempt to save the conference SC far as auxiliaries went, Secretary Hughes offered to cut the Ameri- l can and British tonnage to 60,00(

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 23.-The Russian plane Land of Soviets, which landed here for an overnight stop, hopped off this morning at 8:45 o'clock for Chey- enne, enroute to New York City
 It was intimated here that there is a possibility the flight may be continued eastward from New York in an attempted trans Atlantic flight. This was indicated by Com mander Shestakov who said that while plans after reaching New York were indefinite an attempt might be made to cross the At lantic.
 The fliers stopped here for re- fuelling instead of continuing be- cause of heavy head winds which cut down the fuel supply.
 The new motors sent to Chey- enne from Oakland are not expect ed to be used as the motors are working perfectly.

HOOVER IS FOURTH PRESIDENT
 TO LAUNCH WORLD PEACE MOVI
By KIRKE SIMPSON GAP Feature Service Writer)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Is Her bert Hoover, engineer and dispas- sionate analyst of international cause and effect, to be the greatest world peace promoter of his age?
 Is he to bring to realization vis- ions of non-competitive ornaments that proved only unattainable dreams to his predecessors - to Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge?
 Like them, Hoover has made his bid for permanent peace. It must be vision especially dear to the heart of America because four Presidents in succession have made lit almost the major theme of their administration.
 And, again like Harding and Coolidge, Hoover has approached his task from the coldly practical side of naval armament limitations despite their failure of complete success.
 Wilson's peace vision was writ ten into the covenant of the League of Nations, designed to be a peace agency of world wide scope and power. It was, even his opponents at home admitted, a noble dream; but it was destined | to repudiation by his own coun- trymen.
 Harding first sought the inter locking of the five leading naval powers in hard and fast treaty of limitation of naval power. He saw part of his hopes realized in l the 5-5-3 treaty; but is served merely to shift the race in naval armaments from battleships to lcruisers.
 Coolidge took office intent. on completing the Harding project of Limitation. He was first baked by linsistence among the continental powers of Europe that the whole question of limitation of armaments lby land or sea be handled by League of Nations machinery. Coolidge asSented to American participation in that effort and de- Iferred his own plans of direct ne- Igotiations between the naval pow CTS. Ultimately, when he did in- vite a five-power conference. the continental powers, France and lItaly, stood aloof.
 Even the restricted three-power m ting to which his hopes ldwindled ended in deadlock; yet lthe Coolidge Administration was not without it's own peace accom- plishment. It was then the Kel- Ilogg peace pact was written or American initiative.
 Now President Hoover has re. Inewed the drive for direct maya power commitments to lesser bat. tie tonnage maintained in fixeC ratios. He has broken the British, American deadlock on cruisers; bu can he also sweep aside the fear and suspicious upon the continen that have twice blocked the peace pathway of his predecessors?
 If he can, his name vii live lonl in history as champion of worlt peace in something more tangibl, than words.

CABINET OF FRANCE OUT
Premier Briand's Ministry Falls by Close Vote
 and Resigns

PARIS, Oct. 23. President Doumergue today began the diff ficult task of finding a Cabinet with adequate majority behind it to take the place of the Briand Ministry which fell by close mar gin and immediately resigned.
 It may be days before the prob lem is solved.
 Premier Briand's overthrow was by factions that differed among themselves on the Young plan, Rhineland evacuation, Saar Valley and Naval policy. This indicates his defeat was due more to politi- cal dissatisfaction with the Cab- inets composition than the vital difference over foreign policies.

Investigation Shows George Stevens Dead at Jualin
 Body Here

With the body of George Stevens watchman at the Jualin mine, Dep- uty United States Marshal w. E. Feero returned here from Berners Bay early this morning. An in- vestigation by the officer showed that it was Stevens whose body had been found there last Friday and net that of Tom McGann Cowee Creek rancher, as was re- ported here
 There was no indications of foul play to be seen on the body and it was believed Stevens death was from natural causes An inquest was called, however, for 4 pm, to- day.
 Mistake By Silvers
 The news was brought here Sun- day by Doc Silvers who had been prospecting up Berners River. He had been hailed by two Indians as he was coming downriver and told by them "heap dead man by broken bridge" He investigated and found the body on the tramway between the machine shops and the watch mans residence. He did not exam inc it, merely covered it with a heavy blanket and started for town He thought it was McGann as he had been told that McGann was to succeed Watchman Dudley.
 Silvers was travenng in a river boat with an outboard motor. He got into a tide rip and was carried on some rocks His motor froze and his boat was badly battered be- fore he could get off the rocks and ashore. He eventually made 2 landing and succeeded in signalling a passing boat, the Erma, Saturday He came to town on that boat, ar irving early Sunday morning. He had seen nothing of McGann's boat at Echo Cove, and, believing it was McGann's body he had found, con- cluded Stevens was aboard the boat 1 Found to be Stevens

It was lying face down with rope attached to a tran car clasped in one hand. Botf Feero and Capt. Smith thought il was McGann's body until they hac examined it closely.

Part o1 them had been landed in his house and portion were still on the car Evidently he had completed ont trip and hauled second load from the beach.
