POLICE RESCUE
RIDE VICTIM .
IN c'q'f''G0

CHICAGO, May S U.NS0.
Tied hand and foot. a revolver
pressed to his head and with the
rltimatum "you have half q min.
ute to live" echoing in his ears,
Earl Holmes, a wood carver,
"taken for a ride" was saved
by police Saturday.
Holmes, intended victim of a
aaalous rival, was forced into q
cab and taken to a lonely spot
after being beaten by three men
He was about to be killed, &C
cording to his statements, when
police captured his to-turerS.
The men taken into custody
gave the following IlaneR: John
Hennessey. reputedly q former
police officer: Samuel BaldinO,
alleged ex-conVict, and Frank
Fabarula, alleged gangster.
According to the story told au.
thoritieS by Holmes, he met a
girl called Anne Larson six
months ago. He often urged the
girl to marry him and until to-
day she had refused, telling him,
according to the polive version Of
the story, "she could not get
away from the gang"
Finally she agreed to get her
clothing and go away with
Holmes, the statement says.
When she returned from the
reputed headquarters Of the gang
she was accompanied by one Of
the men who forced her into
the taxicab in which Holmes
was sitting. He threatened
Holmes, it is alleged, and was
soon Joined by two other men
Taken to Torture
They took Holmes to the lonely
spot where the alleged torture
was started.
Mere chance caused the police
squad car to be parked with
lights out near the scene. AS
the police watched the other car,
its lights faded.
So the police trailed the car
and arose from the bushes near
the tree against which Holmes
was seated, apparently just in
time to save his life.

SUCCESS
ASSURED BY GIBSON
American, in Radio Talk,
Hopeful of Definite Results
in Few Days.

Definite results should be obtained
within few days at the London Naval
Conference, Hugh S. Gibson, men,
Der of the American delegation, de-
clared yesterday in a radio address, in
which he held out hope for tive-power
agreement.
I'VE have good reason to hope that
q five-power agreement may be signed
before We leave here" Gibson SAID IN
his address, which was broadcast from
London and given out here by the State
Department.
whether this is to be-" he added
I've ought to know within a few days.
II this is to be, it will mark the most
notable testimony to the existence OF
a more secure confidence and peaceful
world than any five powers have given
since the war.
Basis Laid for Future.
'If the full measure of that agree
ment cannot be had at this session,
the three-power agreement can be made
on a basis which will welcome In the
other two powers when their dithcultles
have been solved. We feel sure OF ultl-
mate solution, for the work that has
been done here and the spirit in which
1t has been done Is such as to spell
either immediate or ultimate success"
Referring to the agreement already
reached between the United States,
Great Britain and Japan, Gibson, who
is American Ambassador to Belgium,
said it was advantageous to all three
countries and constitutes an important
contribution to international friendship
and good understanding"
Limitations Achieved.
1.-THE great achievement of this con-
ference" he said, lis that 1t has ar
rived at a basis for limiting all kinds
of vessels in the three largest fleets,
and the cruiser, destroyer and SUBJ
marine tonnage under this limitation
will be far below the lowest limit which
was discussed at Geneva in 1927.
ITO those of us who have followed
the efforts for Limitation since the
Washington Conference the results at
tanned here so far are beyond reason
able expectations, but, actually, reduc-
ton is not the most important part OF
this agreement.
If the reduction had been less and
the agreement were made on higher
level, it would still contain the major
detectives for which the conference was
called"

discussing the matter with Premier
Tardieu and the French cabinet and
plans to return to London tomorrow.
The general prediction in conference
circles this morning was that 1t will be
decided there is no use continuing dis
cuSSionS Of the French security demand
and the Franco-Italian parity dispute
at this conference.
Dispatches from Paris reported little
prospect of change OF the French atti-
tude, and return Of M. BRAND generally
was expected to mark the beginning OF
the end OF the fiVe-power parley.

Both he and Dino Grand, Italian for

Forthcoming plenary session, which Is
expected to take place the latter part
of the week, as the opportunity to make
their views public. and then withdraw
to permit conclusion of q three-power
pact, a matter which may run from
days into weeks.
Prime Minister Macdonald returned
last evening to London from Chequers,
where he spent the week end. He was
understood to have become resigned to
the intransigeance OF the French and
Italians, and to be OF q mind, unless
there is a change for the better very
shortly, to push the three-poWer treaty
to a quick conclusion.
Interpretations as to Britain's probable
share in a political treaty such as has
been dallied with to provide French Sc
curity will be directed at him in the
British House of Commons late today.
Nine questions in all have been put, but
parliamentarians believed Mr.. Macdon-
aid would plead an answer that at this
stage would prejudice negotiations, and
thus postpone his explanations for the
present.
Japanese ParIeys Continue.
Senator Reed and Ambassador Mat
sudaira continued discussions of the
Japanese reservations. It is understood
the japanese would like to be able to
transfer 10000 tons Of destroyerS to
submarines, but 1t was said in well in
formed quarters that the Americans and
British had strongly intimated 1t would
be unWiSe to raise such an issue. 1t
was stated that neither the British nor
Americans agree on such transfer.
