NAVAL FARLEY.
MAY CONTINUE
MANY WEEKS
u. S. Delegates Told
Patient Flooding
Necessary

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-P-As
viewed from Washington, the Lon
don Naval conference presents a
picture in historic contrast to the
memorable outlines Of the gather
ing Of the sea powers here in 1921.
President Hoover. as well as the
delegates who are to sail from New
York tomorrow, sees a pathway be-
set by difficulties to be traversed
only by patient Flooding. All give
every evidence, Of confidence in the
ultimate result; but they recognize
fully that the circumstances and
the methods Of 1921 are not the
circumstances and the methods OF
1880.
Speaking a word Of farewell yes
terday to members OF the delegation,
the President adjured them to be
patient. and called upon the coun-
try to bear with confidence and pat
fence the ordeal Of a diplomatic dis
cussion which may last for many
weeks from the opening session on
January q.
Tactics Different
He said no hurried conclusions"
were expected, but predicted that
eventually the spokesman Of the
United States, Great Britain, Japan,
France and Italy would find q COM
MOI basis for ending naval COMPETE
ton and permanently promoting
peace.
The contrast between London In
1880 and Washington in 1921 runs
deeply into the diplomatic fabric Of
the worlds quest for universal un-
Outstanding on the sea.
At the Washington conference,
secretary Hughes stirred the emo
tons by the forceful manner OF his
diplomacy from the first session op-
ened. He laid before the astonished
delegates Of the other powers a
sweeping proposal for reduction OF
naval ornaments, running from the
biggest to the littlest ships OF war.
Not all Of 1t was accepted In the
end, but 1t furnished an accelera-
ting impetus 70 decisive progress.
No Fireworks
At London secretary Stimson pro-
poses a course Of quiet, persistent
effort, wholly devoid Of diplomatic
fireworks. If the expectations Of the
chief American delegate are borne
out, none OF the other powers will
begin the negotiations by talking in
detail Of what they must have for
national security, or by sounding
any other note which might jar the
sensibilit!es OF any Of the c~onferees.
Mr.. Hughes in beginning, saw an
opportunity to smash through OBJ
stacles by the sheer weight Of az
aggressive attack. Mr.. Stimson dis
Germs in the present circumstances
no such possibility; he depends
rather on the force Of undemonstra-
tive personal contact and the rule OF

THE Temperance Union about the time It was
formed went exhaustively into the Stats
teal part Of inebriety, and in this connection
addressed the following letter to Judge Cranch:
washington City,
February II, 1885.
Dear Sir: Being directed by the Temper
ance Union Of the District Of Columbia to
procure from every responsible source such
substantial and general information as shall
eventually dispose the Corporation of WASH
ington to withhold licenses for the sale Of
ardent spirits from dram shops and Ordi-
naries, and thereby promote the cause of
temperance In this city; knowing your
friendly feelings toward every effort that
tends to advance the welfare of the COM
munity, and especially the temperance refor-
nation, would respectfully solicit from you
reply to the following interrogatories, to-
gether with any other information on the
subject that may have come under your
notice IN the discharge Of your onhcial
duties:
First. What proportion Of criminal cases
coming before you for adjudication in our
District Court for the County Of Washing
ton have originated in or been connected
with intemperance?
Second. What has been the probable cost
In bringing these cases to final issue, includ-
ing an expenses Of prosecution?
Third. Whether, In your opinion, the
abolishing Of licenses by our City Corpora
ton TO sell ardent spirits would not have q
tendency greatly to prevent crime, poverty
and their concomitants throughout the COM
munity?
In behalf Of the Temperance Union Of the
District Of Columbia, am, very respectfully,
sir. Your friend and obedient servant,
JOHN COYLE,
Corresponding Secretary.
To the Hon. william Cranch,
Chief Justice Of the District Court, d. G.
THE justice In his reply gave printed page
and more Of figures, which would mean
nothing here. But the closing paragraph Of his
letter might well stand thorough scrutinizing
and digestion. It reads:
1.-THE above Is an answer to your two first
interrogatories. In answer TO the third, have
no hesitation in saying that 1t is my decided
opinion that the prohibition Of the sale Of
ardent spirits not only in this city, but In the
District. would greatly tend to the prevention Of
crime, poverty and their concomitant evils. But
such prohibition, II not supported by Q strong
preponderance Of public opinion, would b in-
sffectual, as q could moe be enforced"

Mr.. BRYAN also tells us that in the early
days Of temperance bodies here a dis
tinction was made between distilled and fer
mented drinks, as in the constitution Of the
Franklin Temperance Society Of Washington,
having q membership chiefly Of printers, which
barred these forms Of liquors except In cases
of bodily hurt or Sickness" and the moderate
use Of malt liquor, wine or cider was not pro-
hibited Unfortunately, only the names Of the
fsrst three officers of this society have come
down TO US, they being Reuben johnson. presi-
dent; A. Rothwell, vice president, and s. A.
EIliot, secretary.
The City Directory for 1913 gives only the
name of one of these pioneer temperance work
ers and this source discloses the fact that by
this date Andrew Rothwel he'd left the lease"
and was serving as the tax collector, with an
once In the City Hall, and residing on the east
side Of Seventh street between street and New
York avenue northwest.
An earlier organization than the Franklin
Society was the Temperance Society Of WASH
ington which held its preliminary meeting IN
the City Hall on July Il, 1873, and later selected
Mr.. william Cranch as president; Rev. DR..
Robert B. Semple, vice president; James l..
Edwards, treasurer, and John Coyle, jr.. secre-
tary, the directors chosen being Rev. John
Davis, Rev. Reuben Post, Rev. ObecAah b.
Brown, Rev. Andrew Coyle and Rev. James n.
Handy. Judge william Cranch was for many
years the chief justice of the District Of Column
bia Circuit Court and turist greatly esteemed
and regarded even to this day for his many
valuable decisions.
From this date Temperance bodies sprang up
rapidly, until within four years q temperance
union was formed Of the II organizations then
existing OF this union Of bodies walter LOwrie.
