Jury MAY PROBE
BURROUGHS CASE
Prince Georges Commission
ers Order Second Confer
enCe on Mans Death.

Taking the viewpoint that they did
not want the family of Thomas Franklin
Burroughs to feel Prince Georges
County authorities had left any stone
unturned" in regard to the manner in
which the man met his death. the
county commissioners yesterday ordered
the case presented to the grand jury
"if necessary" but States Attorney j.
F. Parran has not decided If this step
will be taken.
The board Of commissioners took q
hand in the, case when Constable A. c.
Thompson, in whose district Burroughs
was injured. and who has been con-
Quoting an independent investigation of
the case, appeared before the board to
request financial compensation for ex-
penses incurred by him during his in
vestigation.
The commissioners refused the con-
stables request for expenses, but showed
much interest in his claim that 1.-The
case could be worked up" and on
motion Of Commissioner Brice Bowie
formally adopted a resolution directing
Thompson to take the matter to "the
sheriff. the States attorney, and. If
necessary, the grand jury"
"Heads" Are Cited.
In explaining the case to the Com
missioners Thompson called their at
tention to clippings from The Star re-
vealing leads in the case and dis
closing that the family had appealed
to Washington police to assist the
county authorities in definitely settling
how Burroughs was injured.
Immediately after receiving his in
structions from the Commissioners
Thompson waited on States Attorney
Parran, who said today he was not sure
yet whether or not he would present
the case to the grand Jury.
Burroughs was brought to Emergency
Hospital September II following an
automobile accident below Silver Hill.
He died four days later of pneumonia,
and his family believes all of his in
jurieS could not have been caused by
the automobile accident. They point
out Burroughs was a visitor at a road
house few hours before the accident
at which 1t was learned a fight had
occurred.
Second Conference Ordered.
Thompson had previously conferred
with Sheriff Early and the States at
torney, but he was told to do so again
by the county commissioners, who want
ed the. case to go through the proper
legal channels.
Both the sheriff and States attorney
have examined witnesses and talked
with relatives of Burroughs and ex-
pressed the opinion the mans death
was purely accidental. Should Parran
decide not to present the case to the
grand jury Thompson may do SO on
his own initiative when he delivers his
report to that body on conditions in
his district.
The owner of the hat turned over to
the Burroughs family by hospital au-
thorities and in turn given by them
to States Attorney Parran, in the hope
he might shed some light on the case,
was located yesterday in Gallinger Hos
pital, but has not as yet been question:
ed by the county police.

LONDON FEELS HOPEFUL.
Newspapers Hail Probability All Powers
Invited to Farley Will Accept.

LONDON, October 9 R).-London
newspapers today expressed high, but
by no means certain, hopes of successful
outcome of the projected naval reduc-
ton conference to be held here in jan
uary. Issuance of invitations to the
i've naval powers to participate held
foremost place in the news columns.
Possibility that not all of the five
powers will accept the invitations was
suggested editorially on the ground
that the view was held persiStently in
some quarters that the preliminary
London Washington conversations rep
resented an attempt to impose an An
glo-American scheme OF disarmament
on the other powers.
Adverse Possibilities.
There seemed no present assurance
that the conference we'd lead to an
all around agreement, although this
and other adverse suggestions were
treated merely as suggested possibilities
and not as expectations.
The conservative daily telegraph
thought the prolongation of the battle
ship building holiday might be secured
and some advance upon the measure OF
disarmament gained by the Washing
"A comprehensive five-power agree
ment on matters left untouched at
washington in 1922 is not to be look
The I.aborite Daily Herald remarked
the suggestion in the invitations that
the Kellogg pact be the starting point
OF the agreement, and then said: "On
the basis of the Kellogg pact a sweep
ing all-around reduction should be pos
sible, but on any other basis an agree
ment will be difficult If not Impossible

Kellogg Pact Weighed.
The Liberal Daily Chronicle also
dwelt on the Importance of the Kellogg
pact, which, 1t remarked, had altered
fundamentally the whole position since
1922. "All the great powers signed the
undertaking to renounce war as an IN.
strlment Of national policy and II thai

French and the Italians, whose ratios
are low in the matter of capital ships,
are likely to agree to this proposal more
easily.
The British note, however, suggests
that the question Of the abolition of
the submarine may be seriously taken
up at the proposed conference. This
Is a question which Is likely to arouse
not a little opposition in both France
and Italy. It was found impossible to
get anywhere with proposal to abol-
iSh the submarine at the time of the
Washington naval conference in 1922
because of the opposition of France.
Great Britain put forward such a prop
oSition at that time. The British note
now sent out sets down the following
as its fourth principal OF agreement be-
tween the American and British gov
ernmentS:
Since both the Government of the
United States and his majeSty'S gov
eminent in the United Kingdom adhere
to the attitude that they publicly adopt
ed in regard to the desirability of Sc
curing the total abolition of the SUBJ
marine, this matter hardly gave rise
to discussion during the recent CONVEX
o"SAOA' AACy ACSo6AlAC' AOWCNci' tild'
no final settlement OH this subject can
be reached except in conference with
the other naval powers"
A failure to reach an agreement on
the submarine question at the confer
ence might have a material effect on
the question of limiting cruiser and
destroyer tonnage. The French here
tofore have always insisted that SUBJ
marines were essential TO their ma
tional defense. since they did not UNI
dertake to build very large surface
Navy. The Italians also. with their
long coast line. have maintained the
need Of submarines for defensive war
fare.

FRENCH TO DISCUSS
FARLEY ON MONDAY.
BRAND Presents Invitation on
Arms to Cabinet to Study
Questions. y
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, october 9.-Premier BRAND
today placed the British invitation to
attend fve-power naval disarmament
conference before his colleagues at a
cabinet meeting, but the note itself was
not discussed.
NJ BRAND asked the interested min
listers to study the questions raised and
to be ready to discuss the text of the
reply at next Mondays cabinet meeting,
at which President Doumergue will pre-
side.
The French reply, which will be ac-
ceptance to participate In the confer
ence. will be lengthy document taking
up every point raised in the British
note.
Suggestions Invited.
The chill which greeted the note in
official circles upon its translation yes
terday has subsidized and it is now felt
that the phraseology used by Foreign
Secretary Henderson invited French
suggestions on the questions mentioned
and these will be forthcoming.
The present feeling in official circles
Is that France under no circumstances
will abandon submarines as defensive
weapons.
The French press today commented
upon the view that France would accept
the British invitation to naval parley
in London in January.
lie Matin put it: ut is hard to see
how we could refuse TO facilitate the
task Of the preparatory commission OF
the league and the general disarma-
ment conference which should follow"
Submarine Important.
The most important point for the
French is submarines, lie Matin OBJ
served as Arthur Henderson, British
foreign minister, freely admitted Great
Britain and America cannot abolish
them without consulting France. 1--WE
have only to maintain our position" the
paper said.
lie Petit Partisan also saw the pro-
Jected naval parley as sort of pro-
iogue to the work on disarmament be-
ing pursued at Geneva"
The radical party organ Oeuvre ex-
pressed much the same views as the
other papers, saying, notably, as regards
submarines, The proposal of the
United States of America and Great
Britain is pure war of words. To ac-
cept 1t would be to hand over the sea
that really would be asking too much
French Interpretation.
what makes France more willing to
accept the invitation is her impression
that the scope of the London confer
ence is limited to facilitating the work
of the preparatory disarmament COM
mission at Geneva and that it can only
discuss best methods Of limiting naval
forces.
The interdependence of land, naval
and air ornaments would thus be treat
ed at a general disarmament confer
ence, which will agree upon figures of
total naval tonnage and tonnage by
types Of warships.
lie Temps, which appears to have
some knowledge of the naval tonnage
negotiations between England and
America, insists that the Anglo Ameri-
can arrangement implies no real re-
duction in the naval strength OF the
two powers.
It says that, on the contrary, 1t sig
mines q status quo for England and
considerable increase by the Americans
to reach parity by December, 1886.

be little or no break between the Anglo
American conversations recently salts
factorily concluded and the opening OF
the larger five-power sphere of negoti-
atoms pending the actual conference.
The more optimistic observers even
hoped that as the brief visit of Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald to Presi-
dent Hoover set the seal on negotiations
at greater length informally conducted
here so the assembly of the government
representatives during the third week
of January might find the ground well
paved for the drafting of q convention.
