 Try to show Benefits
 The case of the Great Northern and Western Pacific. as thus far developed, consists of evidence to show transportation benefits expect ed 10 follow uniting the two systems over the Klamath lalls-keddie line.
 They are: Cheaper rates, more connections, faster service. more abundant cars, especially for Cali fornia fruit. continuity of service when one line is temporarily in trouble. stimulation of commerce and industry by expanding markets. development and use of natural re- sources heretofore unused on ac- count of lack Of railroad contact, and strengthening of the Western Pacific. a weak, road slowly struc- glng toward a stronger position as carrier Of important traffic.
 Admit Opposition Claims
 On the other side the Southern Pacific, principal opponent of the plan, has made the petitioners wit nosscs admit that it could furnish much of the service, lower rates. connections and other advantages sought by building the line. it's lines surround the territory in which the construction would he made, scrv- inE much of the region.

Both Nations Determined in Positions - Japan Seeks Cruiser Strength- Submarine Limitation Is Dangerous Question.

Washington, Nov. IS IP-Sizcablc shoals looming before the London naval conference have in no wise lessencd the measure of confidence President Hoover and other admin lstration officials have that the ship of limitation can be mancuvcrcd through them.
 These objections are being care fully Chartcd and at the present distance from the January , date or the beginning of the conferences voyage they appear no less formi- dable than did those in the ofring at the opening of tn" negotiations be tween the United States and Great Britain.
 The principal obstacles for tho the Confercnc" chart. Close at hanI lies the question of parity between the Italian and French navics. Hard by is the Japanese desire for q cruiser ratio of seven 10 ton foT the United States and Great Britain instead of three to five as laid down for capital ships at the Washington arms conference.
 Parallcling these is the shoal of submarine limitation, around which the 1921 conference here could not be stecrcd. France, Italy and Japan regard the undcrScas boats as their most effective weapons of defense while Great Britain out Of the les sons Of the World war naturally views them as the greatest menace 10 it's safety in the event of hostili- ties
 Franco-Italian Negotiations
 Franco and Italy are engaged upon negotiations which might less en the difficulties for the London conference. but there has been no information as 10 what progress they have been able 10 make. They started from such widely distant points that a complete agreement in advance of the meeting of the five sea powers scarcely was to be eA- peCted.
 Information here Is that the French government is seeking to convince the Italians that it's na- tional security requires the main- tcnanCe of two separate and large fleets because of it's geographical location upon two widely distant sea lanes.
 France points to ifs large com bined Atlantic and channel coast line as requiring one defense fleet with an independent one for it's Mediterranean coat line and for keeping open the lane 10 ifs north African provinces upon which ii drew heavily for man power in the world war.
 While all of its coast is in tho Mediterranean area, tho Italians. as their view is understood in Wash ington, insist that they must have naval parity with any other Euro pean continental power because

Whenever a dull headache, las

GLEANINGS'
:AND
SCREENINGS
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

Producer Sam Harris, from a
second row aisle seat at the
Belasco last night, cupped his
ear and captured plenty of
laughs at the new Kaufman.
Lardner play. He was happy
over the prospect of a satirical
comedy drama which Broadway
-as they say-should lap up.
George Kaufman saw the Sec
ond act of his play tried for the
first time-"June Moon" was
given a spring test and then
taken off for revision and fall
opening. Today Mr.. Kaufman
will be joined at the Hotel
Washington by the sober-faced
Ring Lardner and such polish
ing as the play requires will be
undertaken.
Grantland Rice was another
first nighter with a personal
interest in the success of "June
Moon" His daughter Florence,
a blonde beauty, makes her
debut in the comedy opus and
does very well indeed with the
few witty gems of an incidental
role.
The Stanley Crandall theaters,
the Rialto and the Loew houses
have reached an agreement with
the satge hands on the new con-
tract. Only the Fox Theater is
still negotiating, with the par
leys being carried on in New
York.
Very little -discord existed
over the wage scale but many
words were wasted before both
factions reached common ground
on working conditions" This
applied to number of men, hours,
etc. The stage hands win a
raise but yielded some points in
their demands.
Florenz Ziegfeld is said to
have the signed contract Of Fred
and Adele Astaire in his office
safe. The dancers agreed for a
new musical with the salary re-
ported at $1,000 for the team.
