ARMS MEETING

Scores Sessions Al Being
Absurd And Useless

GENEVA, MAY 6.-tPJ-The pre-
paratory disarmament commission
adjourned today with the next nov
toward disarmament awaiting ac-
ton by the bic five naval powers.
In adjourning. the commission
left the date of the next meeting

It would be convened anew when
the naval nations announce they
have achieved enough progress to-
wards q naval agreement TO JUS
tify summoning of what is expect
ing 10 be the last session OF the
commission before convocation Of
an international conference on
disarmament.
One semi Humorous, semi-ser-
ious incident marked the closing
moments Of the session.
While Maxim Litvinoff. Soviet
vice foreign commissar. in a final
speech was s>ourging the work OF
the session rs absurd and useless,
flames suddenly shot up from the
conference table in front Of the
French delegation. "A delegate had
thrown q lighted match on a leaky
gasoline cigarette lighter. There
was q rzcoil of the delegates as
the flames scared. but General
Requin Of the French group seized
the huge tray where the fire was
centralized and bore it to the win
dow.
NJ. Litvinoff attacked what he
felt was the negative character of
the commissions activities and de-
manded that an international dis
armament conference be called as
early as possible when he hoped
the peoples votes for real disarma-
ment could be heard.
The commission adopted a jap
anese proposal to postpone further
consideration Of the naval chap
ter Of the draft treaty so as to
permit direct conversations between
the five powers.
In his veledictory address Chair
man Politis Of Greece insisted &ae
conference had achieved appre-
cable results and expressed cer-
tainty the American naval sugges-
tons would have n happy influence
on the outcome OF the endeavors
to reduce armament burdens.

HIGH COURT TO ACT
ON D. c. LEVY SUIT.
Case Against Georgiana
Thompson, Who Won $500
Verdict, to Be Reviewed.

The Supreme Court today consented
to review the case Of the District of
Columbia VS.. Georgiana Thompson, In
volving the question whether property
owner In the District of Columbia may
recover the amount assessed and paid
for improvements If the District does
not carry the improvements into effect.
In 1912 Congress passed an act
authorizing the extension of Lamont
street. The Commissioners acquired the
necessary land for the extension of the
street by condemnation proceedings and
then assessed the benefits against the
abutting properties.
In 1921 Georgiana Thompson paid her
share Of 5000 to the collector of taxes
of the District of Columbia. In 1927
she brought action in the Municipal
Court against the District of Columbia
for a return of the 5000 because the
District had failed to extend Lamont
street and had abandoned the project.
The question was submitted to jury,
which found in favor of Georgiana
the Court of Appeals of the District OF
Columbia, where the action OF the
lower court was affirmed.
The District then petitioned the Su-
preme Court to review the case main
tanning that, since the extension OF
Lamont street was authorized by an
act of Congress, the District of Co
lumbia could not be held to have
abandoned the project, because 1t was
not within the power of the Commits
sioner of the District of Columbia to
act contrary to the law of Congress.
The Commissioners in asking re-

was for the friends Of the tariff to beat
its enemies to it by sponsoring revision

opposite plan proposed in the Nc
Master resolution
Manufacturers Warned.
In guarded way, Mr. Tilson serves
notice on manufacturers that the
forthcoming tariff revision is neither
to be an orgy of excessive protection
nor a field for special privilege.
I'm the tariff hearings recently
closed" he says, ''the majority of those
who appeared made it evident, whether
they so intended or not, that large
share of the myraids of articles pro-
duced in this country are already rea-
sonably protected, and do not need adj
ditional duties. On the other hand,
many cases clearly were shown to the
committee where. changed conditions

without finally deciding the mat
ter before thorough study has been
made of the vast mass Of information
brought out during the hearings, It Is
feared some of those presenting their
case before the committee, took coun-
sci of their fears rather than Of their
necessities, and in so doing asked too
much in order that they might the
more surely receive enough, or at least
that they might not have taken away
from them a portion of what they al
ready had"
MI. Tilson adds that he is a conserv-
alive, but that some OF those VINO ap-
reared before the ways and means COM
mittee went beyond" what he consid-
ers reasonable caution and attempted
to enter the realm of sure things even
beyond what Connecticut conservative
could justify"
