stein said. the evidence given him by the police appeared insufficient
 for a finding of guilty beyond req sonable doubt.
 Giannint Gave Women Ride Attorney Casalc told the court that Giarnini and his brother Patsy started for New Britain on the day in question to consult an attorney who is handling a case for Patsy.
 and as they were passing the Spring
 field post office they saw the young
 women, with whom they were ac- quainted. They either hailed the
 men or the latter asked them if they
 wanted to take a ride, and at abou; l2:30 o'clock they reached New Britain and parked the car at Main and East Main streets. Patsy and Dolnenic went about their business, ! first telling the young women where they could find the car at about o'clock to start the return trip. In the meantime, the arrests were made and Doncnic, finding his car on Lafayette street with the door
 locked, was on his way to the police
 station when he learned that the
 young women had been caught
 Judge Calls Thcfts Prcmcditated
 There was no question. Attorney
 CaSale said, that the young women
 should be punished and he did not wish to appear in the light of one condoning the oftenSe they commit ted, to which Judge Sake rejoned
 that they had made a premeditated lattcmpt at wholesale shopliftins and the court could not do anything
 to encourage them 10 continue such an otfense. If, as Attorney Casale said, they had been looking for em- ployment in Springfield before en- tering the automobile they would be
 better off it they bent their efforts
 towards obtaining profitable work instead of stealing. He felt that sfoplifting deserved to be punished by jail sentences, but the total value
 of the stolen merchandise was only S3G.97 and so far as was known, it
 was the first offense for the young
 women, so he imposed the fine and
 suspended the jail sentence on one
 count and suspended judgment on the other two counts.
 The three counts in each case were theft of a suit Of mems cloth i inS valued at $22 from the Nor
 wood store on Main street, three bedspreads valued at $ll.47 from the Bloonberg store on Main street .. and q woman's dress valued at s3.5O from the Listro store. The young
 women also had other merchandise when arrested but so far as could be learned they had not stolen 1t in i New Britain.
 Mrs. LaZazzcrus. according to Attorney Casale. has two children and her husband left her some time go. Mr9. NCttec has three children
 and her husband was in court.

 The immediate object of this conference is to promote the solu- ton of Il great problem under it's two aspects, namely. the problem of limitation. and Of reduction of naval armament This we know and it is to solve this problem that our five countries meet here today.
 But we also know that within that limited field we shall present ly make a decisive experiment in organization of world peace and this makes us fully conscious Of the gravity of the occasion. A decisive experiment. for last April the preparatory committee on disarma- mcnt at Geneva recognized that it was impossible for them 10 make further progress in their work be- fore the naval powers arrived at a yt iro1i in

Work Cannot Be ENadcd

We now have been invited by the British government 10 make this preliminary agreement so that our London conference of January, 1890, takes it's natural place in a necessary and logical succession of events This work is not one which can be evadcd. The only question, as Roosevelt said. is whether we shall do it well or otherwise.
 "The problem before us in it's cx- act terms is the foliowine: Our success in the limited task we are undertaking will open the way 10 success of the whole effort for dis armament. Our failure might post ponc it for an indefinite period. Thus our responsibilities 10 the world which observes us and will pass judgment on us is clearly de- fined
 "Thc task is not an easy one. Tn our modern world where rights, obligations, and interests are so in- eNtricably mixed the position oi maritime states shows evidently the greatest complexity. No mathe- matiCal formula will be equal to solution 10 such problem, for nc formula will resist the pressure of life. This is why l felt so satisfied when few minutes go ] heard the eminent prime minister Of Great Britain declaring that to know and to understand one another is our first duty and is to bring into full light the respective needs of each
 Needs Positive Factor
 "Our needs as naval powers are q positive factor, factor which can he measured and compared and if interpreted in such a spirit o. mutual understanding. as leads al present, can supply q basis for mu- tu&l positions Of tomorrow 10 he fixed by agreement for such a period &s our conference may dc eide.

Disarmament Real Problem

While the greatest contribution my country can make to the gener- al cause of disarmament is in naval matters, still it must not be forgot ten that our ultimate aim is gen cral solution of the disarmament problem and consequent lessening of the risks of war. For that req son, however great the achievements of this conference in regard 10 the naval problem, our zeal in the gen cral cause of disarmament and our efforts to contribute to the success of future cndeayors in other fields will continue unabatcd.
 We have cndeavorcd to study the particular problems and difficulties of the other nations as well as our own. We have come here to try 10 find a solution acceptable to all, or benefit to all, and Of benefit to the peace and stability Of the world. There are many problems we know. but each problem before us seems to us far outweighcd by opportunity to serve civilization. We are read, to stay here until the problems are solved. until the opportunities are sraspcd and until we can give 70 the world an agreement that will carry Us happily on to the time when We meet again in the same spirit to look over the situation

"Wc arc profoundly impressed and moved by the significance of the speeches we have just heard, the cordial and hospitablc welcome cN- tended to us by his majesty, the king. and the wise analysis of our problems which has been so moving ly presented by the prime minister. am 90 convinced that all members Of this conference share the lofty idealsm that has been expressed in the two preceding speeches that ] look forward with confident hope to the success of our lahorS. l deem it an suspicious event that our first meeting at this conference. in which there must be spirit of understand ing and cooperation should take place in the house of parliament which has for Americans deep sig nificance as the cradle of our juris- prudence and Of our fundamental ideas of human liberty.
 Conferences Are Recent
 "Thr u"e of international confer cncos cf this sort for tho purpose Of limiting and reducing armamcntS in a recent development in world affairs. SO recent that number Of our colleagues at this table partici- hated in the lahors of the Washing ton conference. the first of the series of efforts devoted to this great end. That conference was first step on the long road Of international en- deaNor in limitation and reduction upon which the world has started. We may feel that this beginning was a momcntous event in the history Of the human race: we may depriNe q lecitimatc qualification from the knowledge that we have lived m days when for the first time human thoughts and desires for disarma- mcnt reached practical and tangible expression.
 "l feel it is important to cmpha- size the fact that we do not look upon this effort toward disarmament IS final. Naval limitation is 4 con tinuous process. We regard disarin- amcnt as a goal 10 be reached by successive steps, by frequent rcris- ion and improvement.
 Human affairs are not state, but are moving and we believe ImproV- ing. A solution reached today. how ever perfect, may not respond 10 conditions at a later date. We sim corcy hope that increased feeling of security may enable still mor2 drastic reduction in the future. For that reason we feel that the sound and obvious course is to reach such agreements as it may be possible now, with the knowledge that they are open to revision at appropriate periods.
 "Wc are convinced that in attack ing now the naval problem We arc following the practical anu common sense path. We believe that any solution which we can make of this problem will be a tangible Contribu ton to the success Of the wider problem Of general disarmament, There is d relationship between the land. sea and air force which con stitutc national defense. We believe that q limitation of any one Of these will contribute to an enlightened limitation of the others.
