OTHER NATIONS
SEEK TO GRASP
AIMS OF FRANCE
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Feb. 3. U.P'-The Lon
con naval conference today entered
upon its third week of diplomatic
jockeying for position, with Ameri-
can, England, Italy and Japan seek
ing means of meeting - or. com
promising with - French proposals
regarding the distribution. OF ton
rage among various types Of war
ships.
No formal meeting of the "Big
Five"was scheduled before tomor-
row, and at the next meeting
frances chief delegate Premier An
Dire Tardieu, will be absent.
The written observations Of the
four delegations who were invited
last week by France to present their
figures on what tonnage they would
require in each class of warship
were to be in the hands of the con
ference secretary today.
1t was not expected, however, that
any definite figures would be given.
Instead, it was understood, the
powers would outline their views on
the policy of transferring tonnage
from one class to another. America
and Great Britain were expected to
reiterate their opposition to permit
ting an unlimited shift of strength
from battleships to lighter vessels
or submarines.
According to a spokesman for the
French delegation, France does not
expect to see specific figures from
the other nations until the question
of methods has been settled def
nitely.
From the American standpoint, the
problem has resolved itself into an
attempt to persuade France that I'M
limited transference of tonnage from
one type to another - permitting
nation to transfer n great part or
ITS allotted tonnage from battleshlps
to submarines, for example - IS not,
III effect limitation.
Should Limit Percentage
For this reason, the Americans
hold that battleships and possibly
large cruisers must Dt SiAih4h''NNN
from those classes from which
nation may take away tonnage and
give it to another type of vessel,
Instead, the Americans believe, the
"transfer privileges" should be linn
tied to light cruisers, submarines
and destroyers.
A second principle to which the
United States apparently adheres is
that the percentage of tonnage that
may be shifted should be limited to
not more than Is per cent of the
total.
If these two principles are agreed
upon.p4t is understood the Americans
are willing to proceed on the basis
OF the French proposal.
Foreign Minister Aristidc Briana
IS expected to return from Paris
tonight. In the meantime, Georges
Leagues, minister of marine, heads
The French delegation.

Grounding Not
Needed Here

Brother Grounding strhck his
nose out of the ground some
where in the valley yesterday,
unified, looked about for awhile
and saw his shadow. Rumor has
it that he remained out the rest
of the day to enjoy the beau
Siful spring weather which has
arrived in the valley to stay.
Tradition says that six more
weeks of winter may be expect
ed, but judging from today's
balmy weather, tradition slipped
up somewhere. Nothing could
be more wonderful than the
weather the valley is enjoying
now, with every indication
pointing to its permanency.

ARIZONA Mine
REPORTS HUGE
GOLD STREAK

CHLORIDE, Ariz., Feb. 3.-U.H
-"Gold by the carload" the way
it occurs in dreams, lies ready to
be taken out of the Pilgrim mine
nine miles from here in the river
range today.
The last shot placed 375 feet un-
foreground at the bottom of the
winge at an early hour this morn
ing blew into ore unbelievably rich
$4,000 ton, reports say.
Mining experts of international
repute have proclaimed the Pilgrim
'thc most spectacular showing
since Goldfield, New" and predict
the greatest boom in recent years
will result.
Bill oDay. an aged prospeetor,
located the Pilgrim and at one
time turned it over TO John Brock
man, who built the Brockman build
ing in Los Angeles. BY defaulting
on payment of $4,000. Brockman
relinquished control and the mine
was resold to three young aviators
returned from the World war.
They in turn were unable to carry
on and the mine was purchased by
NJ. b. Dudley, who gained fame
with Alexander Pantagees, Jack
London. Sid Grammar and Rex
Beach in the Klondike rush.
Recent sale of his hilltop mine at
Goldfield, New, to n British syn
dictate for 100000, provided fl
nances with which to probe posi-
bilities of his transaction.
HUGE VEIN UNCOVERED
Dudley associated himself with
Varro Peterson Of Rockford, H.,
called upon the expert advice of
Dwight f. Woodbridge, information
ally known mining engineer of Du
luth, Mimi, and began running
drifts and sinking a winge.
A few feet off the course follow
ed by the others, Dudley and Peter
son found glittering wealth in pro-
fusion. Quietly, operations pro-
cecdcd until the last shot this morn
ing laid open the vein to depth
of 375 feet.
The Pilgrim is known to have
three feet of "picture rock' and 10
feet of milling ore extending to
that depth and estimated to con
tinue beyond the 500.foot level,
Along the surface, the vein has
been uncovered for n distance Of
1000 feet and $3,0O0,000 in gold
now lies open to view, according

FILIPINO VETS
ENDORSE MOVE
FOR FREEDOM
King Resolution Seeking

dOrsed at Memorial

United Press Staff Correspondent

MANILA, Feb. 3.-W.p)-Era-
phatic. support of the King resol"-
ton, which would grant immediate
independence to the Philippine
lsIands, vas urged AZ a meet'h- OF
!c.OOC veterans of the PhiliRrlne
revolution here today.
Although the mass meeting called
to celebrate Irrational humiliation
dav.o had been ended less than -
hours before, there was little men
ton of race riots in California ut
the meeting of veterans.
Emilio Aguinaldo was the ou'
standing figure at the meeting 'o
He criticized Manuel Quezon'
president of the Philippine senate
for leadership "more personal thah
national in interest" -,
Aguinaldo uniquely suggested dls-
solution of the Democratic and Ma
cionalista political parties, saying
politics are the scourge of the eouh-
try. .s
Such dissolution, he insisted,
would enable the people to present
n united front on the question OF
independence.
Several resolutions were offered
praising Aguinaldo for his stand III
the recent controversy with Quezon.
Another resolution asked that
President Hoover protect t1hpin's
in the United States, but there was
no protest regarding the recent
riots in California between f1llplnos
and white laborers in which Fermlh
Tobera, a young Filipino, was
- e
killed.
Another objection directed at 20
litical leaders was offered by cen
eral Angel Cortesa, who said that
at heart they were against lhde'
pendence and were trying to post
pone its coming.
The charge was made by Cortesa
that political leaders preferred the
Bingham resolution, which would
provide a commission to determine
whether the Philippines are ready
for independence, instead of the
King resolution. -,
"National humiliation day
came to close as quietly as it had
been hoped.
Approximately 10000 persons
gathered in an uptown park to
mourn the death of Tobera, place
wreaths upon small monument
and hear agitation for independ-
ence.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 3.-(U.H
Aside from an attack upon a
Filipino here by a group of white
men, the California race riot situ-
alton was clear on all fronts, ana
had no reactions from the Manila
demonstration, reports from all
over the state showed today.
Precautions were taken at Wat
sonville, San Jose, Stockton and
other local points of disorders with
in recent weeks, and officers re-
ported everything at peace.
The San Francisco victim was
Augustine Vallego, 90. bus boy,
who was struck over the head in a
street alteration with a group of
repeatedly intoxicated whites. He
was given emergency hospital
treatment and sent home.

FREAKISH STYLES
NOT So POPULAR
Public Said to Appreciate
Beauty and Stability to
Bizarre Effect.

r. EVER fads. freaks and hysterical
- furniture designs are being sold
today than ever before. This is
the verdict of prominent Wash
ington furniture merchant in discussing
the washington National Furniture
STYLE Show, TO be held September 26
to October 1.
Fashions in furniture do not neces-
CARLY mean good taste in furnishings"
he explained For a number Of years
furniture designers were striving for
unusual and bizarre effects instead OF
for beauty. There has been a return
TO the elemental lines Of beauty, and 1t
happens today that the furniture which
is accepted most widely In Washington,
as well as in the rest Of the country
is more beautiful than that which has
has an especial appeal for the man of
years"
History Is Traced.
A century ago, 1t was pointed out, the
Empire style In America aped that Of
France. Even the workmanship Of the
old master, Duncan Phyfe, declined,
because Of the popular craving for the
ornate and bombastic. This was fol-
lowed by the stodgy Victorian style, IN
which the beauty of woods were OBJ
scured, and more attention was paid to
the new machinery produced than to
the furniture it made. After this era
came the atrocious golden oak period
and the craftsman period, when solid
and substantial, but not particularly
graceful, weathered oak appeared. The
most recent innovation was modernistic
furniture, and the gaudy and absurd
pieces in this style have been modified
so that those which survive reflect the
modern age in which we live.
Good manners and formality have
become popular again." the merchant
explained. He has seen the ebb and
flow of many fads and fancies and re-
joices at the return to the love for the
beautiful. THE cratic, the eccentric
and the whimsical have gone out with
In the past few months.
Most Popular Styles.
'HThe most popular styles today. in
addition to our own Colonial produce
lions. are the styles Of England in the
eighteenth century. Comfortable queen
Anne, handsome Hepplewhite, clipper
Chippendale, shapely Sheraton and the
admirable Adam designs prove that
their era was indeed the golden age Of
furniture design. Americas greatest
maker, Phyfe, did his best work under
the influence Of such master craftsmen.
William Slavery worked in Philadelphia
in accordance with the traditions es-
tablished by them.
Colonial patterns are selling in ex-
cess Of any other period designs. Maple
is being used more and more for Early
American creations and for the French
provincial style, which combines so
harmoniously with this type Of furni-
Iure. Oak, particularly in the Jacobean
style, finished In q rich dark, warm
brown, is becoming more popular and
has an especial appeal for the man Of
the house"
One interesting development Is the
dropping OF the old-fashioned idea that
1t was necessary to furnish a room
strictly to one period. The essential
today is harmony Of line and color. 1t
matters not If a piece Of furniture Is
English, French, Spanish or American
II II really seems to belong" with its
