OUTLINES
POSITION
Invites Powers To Join
In Reduction And Not
Merely Limitation.
SESSION PRIVATE
Other Delegates Plan To
Follow M &C DOnald's
Lead With Speeches.

LONDON, Jan. 90. W.P,-The five
powers at the London naval confer
ence today were invited in effect by
Secretary of State Henry l.. Stimson
to attempt not merely limitation but
a general reduction of navies.
He expressed the willingness of
the United States to reduce its navy
if the others do likewise.
The United States plenipotentiary
made his declaration at the first bus
mess session of the conference in st.
James palace, at which the chief del
egate of each nation presented his
cOuntry's naval Jews in general
terms.
Stimon 5 declaration, while brief,
was probably the most specific ut.
tcrance of the day. He made no state,
ment of American naval require
ments, stressing merely that equality
with Great Britain was an under
S, God principle. He then said ma
tiOnal requirements of the various
nations are relative and added the
significant statement, "and there
fore, if this conference can find
way by which general reduction
can be secured, our own navy can
likewise be reduced.'
The session was private, and di-
gest of the events was given to the
press after the meeting.
After adjournment of the confer
ence, it was announced the chief del
cgates would appoint vice chair
man to preside at the meetings when
Macdonald cannot be present be-
cause of parliamentary duties. The
vice chairman will be named in
! alphabetical order from the conn
tries represented.
Following MacDOnald's example
of broadcasting a speech yesterday
for the United States, each of the
chief delegates will speak on radio
lookup. Tardieu will speak tonight
at p. m. He will speak first in
French for the French people and
later in English for world wide
! broadcast.
Others To Talk
g Stimson will speak at. a later date
and then Grandi will broadcast, pos
s;bly directly to the Italian people.
Difficulties of transmission were said
to have made it unlikely that the
chief delegate of Japan would at
tempt to broadcast direct to the
japanese people. Unofficial daily
review of the conference work may
be broadcast for the first time at
such an important international con
ference.
cit was most interesting, most in
forming and most friendly Prime
Minister Macdonald told the press
in reporting on the session. "The
business was report of the naval
needs of each country, not in terms
Of naval strengths but in terms of
geographical position and political
responsibility.
"There were no histile questions
of one delegation to another.
The conference was adjourned un-
til next Week. Separate conversations
were resumed in the afternoon.
The five chief delegates will meet
at 4 p. III. to consider further pro-
cedure, Macdonald announced. He
explained that the complexities were
great and involved tedious work of
preparing the ground. If some test
proposal should be published pre-
maturely, he pointed out, the confer
ence might come to an abortive end.

MERITS OF DRY
LAW WILL NOT
BE DISCUSSED
Transfer Of Enforcement
Authority Will Not In
clude Arguments.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. WH-
The merits of prohibition will not
be considered in the hearings on the
proposed transfer Of enforcement
activities from the treasury to the
Justice department, the house ex-
pcnditurcs committee decided to-
day in executive session.
Committees handling other phases
of the law enforcement reform pro-
gram are expected to follow soon
with similar decisions because the
few wet members have sought to de-
velOp arguments and facts against
the dry law during consideration Of
the reform measures.
The dry leaders are determined to
prevent the present warm congress
siOnal debate from developing into
a contest over prohibition, and they
intend to keep it above that plane
if they can.
The committee will resume hear
ings tomorrow, probably with AttOr-
ney General Mitchell on the stand.
In view Of the committees decision
it is expected questions which were
asked Secretary of Treasury Mellon
yesterday as to what he thought of
prohibition, will be barred.
The house judiciary committee al
so will resume hearings tomorrow on
the bill to enlarge the powers of
United States commissioners, Chair
man ChristophersOn announced.
Jesse Duke, Washington, ID. c., at
torney, is expected to furnish argu
mcnts against the constitutiOnality
on the proposal, along with several
legal organizations.

WEATHER SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT IN
MIDWEST AREA

CHICAGO, Jan. 90. W.H-Winter
eased ats throttling grip on the
western two-thirds of the United
States today and permitted the mer-
curry to start an ascent toward the
zero mark for the first time in two
days.
Temperatures rose in the Rocky
Mountain states and in the south
west where sub-zero weather had
ruled for two days. The mercury
registered several points below zero
in the central states around Chi
cago with the promise of weather
officials, however, that bright sun
will warm up the atmosphere later
today.
The below zero snap in Oregon
and Washington which extended in
to Montana and Idaho, promised to
be a nonstop affair. Temperatures
have remained far below zero for
several days and today when break
appeared imminent a new blizzard
started. The lowest mark reports
was at Pendleton, Ore, with 26 be-
low.
The mercury slipped to degrees
below zero in Chicago early today
but the weather bureau promised
sun and reading Of perhaps 90
above before nightfall.
VINCENNES, Ind, Jan. %. UP,
The grief stricken folk of the
flooded areas in Indiana and Hi
nois pinned their ebbing hopes of
relief on the airplane today.
Sub-zerO weather, sickness and ice
have added to the woes of the 2265
maroOned families and he only
means of receiving aid was through
the air. A national guard airplane,
loaded with food, blankets and med
icines, was scheduled to arrive here
early today and drop its cargo in
case it could not land in the flood
swept territory.
Reported eases of pneumonia, in
fluenza and smallpox mounted rap
idly as physicians were unable to
reach the suffering.
Only faint hope existed today for
the well being of the 50 rural dis
trict residents of Decker Township,
Knox county. The territory is under
several feet of water and ice and
nothing has been heard from the
marooned folks for week.
When last heard from they we're
reported short of food and with the
coming of cold weather it was feared
sickness and starvation would over
lake them.

The rioters then turned their at
tentions to other large Filipino
houses hurting rocks and firing re-
volvers they swarmed through the
places and administered similar
beatings to the Filipinos found
there.
