LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Admitting
that the race-for- ornaments confer
ence is on the verge of a complete
breakdown, one of the American
imperialist delegates said today:
"The conference is in very bad

This Expresses the insoluble an

powers and their struggle for more
war armaments. The conference
has closed down completely, on the
pretext of the overthrow of the

delegates informed the other powers
that neither the French diplomats
nor the French experts would take
part in the negotiations until fur

SABBATH Offers $1,000
Pay for Dead Filipino

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-A bill
to provide $4,000 for payment to the
heirs Of Fermin Tobera, 22-year-old
Filipino, who was killed by Ameri-
can Legionnaires attacking Filipino
workers, near Watsonville, Calf,
last month, was introduced today
by Representative SABBATH, Demo-
crat, Illinois.
SABBATH in his speech admitted that
the killing of Tobera was without
provocation. He stated that his bill
was dictated by the fact that the
islands are an American colony, and
implied that probably the resent
ment of the Filipinos could be
bought off for $4,000.
