from London to make up his mind
whether to submit it to the Senate for
ratification at this session.
Among provisions of the pact that
became known here today was that all
types of aircraft carriers are to be in
cluded in the 135,000-ton limitation
established at the Washington Arms
Conference. Under the Washington
treaty carriers of less than 10000 tons
would not have come under the total
limitation.
Ships to Be Strapped in Fact.
The battleships covered in the scrap
ping provisions of the treaty will be
strapped in fact. The three American
ships which fall into this category
would become obsolete next year, but
those of other nations would not until
1884 or 1885.
One of the ships to be scrapped might
be retained by each nation, however, for
use as training ship, or for other nom
military purposes.
A positive provision for the safety of
passengers OF ships at sea is included in
the submarine clauses of the pact.
Representatives Of all five powers have
agreed that before submarine can sink
a vessel arrangements must be made to
guarantee the safety of passengers.
Senator Hale has notified President
Hoover he will insist upon hearings by
the naval committee on technical mat
tiers involved before the treaty comes up
for ratification. His speech on the floor
yesterday was the first discussion of the
treaty in the Senate chamber.
Says Policy Set Aside.
Stressing that policy of Congress
with reference to cruisers apparently
had been "set aside" Hale urged:
IT hope very much that Senators will
not determine their positions on the
ratification of treaty which so vitality
affects the national defense of the coun-
try until the information to be acquired
at these hearings is laid before them"
From reports already received, Hale
added: 1T is evident that the general
policy Of Congress in relation to cruisers
as evidenced by all cruiser legislation
that Congress has enacted since the
date of the signing of the Washington
treaty In 1922-to build nothing but the
8-inch-gun treaty cruisers that our
needs require-has been set aside"
his poucy OF the congress was IN
sisted upon by the last administration at
the Geneva Conference Hale contin-
ued, land has been supported until very
recently by practically all responsible
| naval opinion"
This question and "other naval ques-
tons involved in the treaty." the COM
mittee chairman declared, are tech
nical' and require q thorough and in
tensive study before intelligent support
or opposition to the terms Of the treaty
can be given"

Visit Warsaw on Tip.
Arlington County Policemen Hugh
Jones, John r. Burke and Ray Cobean
arrived in Warsaw early yesterday
morning on what police characterized
as hot" tip. After inquiring around
the little Virginia village they set out
across the Rappahannock River and
combed the section there thoroughly in
search Of the two soap statesmen. It
was not, however, until the men left
their routes that police could check
their movements.
The little town of Warsaw, with O pop
ulation of about $50, was tremendously
stirred yesterday over the arrival Of the
officers and the search for Gallagher and
Sisson. Down about the town hall the
citizenry, many Of whom knew Miss
Baker, gathered in little knots all day
and, well aware that the two men were
wanted for questioning, racked their
brains to determine whether either or
both Of the two men were in Warsaw
last Friday night. Opinions came to be
divided with both camps undecided as
to the exact date when Gallagher and
Sisson were last seen in town.
Fred Settle, deputy sheriff Of Rich
mond County, arrested SiSson at the
instance of the Arlington County police.
He said he had seen Sisson in warsaw
as to the date. OF Gallagher'S move
ments. Settle said he knew nothing.
Settle remembers distinctly, however.
several weeks ago seeing Gallagher and
Sisson, both of whom work for Balti-
more wholesalers, leave Warsaw with
the announced intention of going to
Baltimore to confer with their man
ayers.
About Time of Party.
THAT would have been around the
time that housewarming party was held,
1 think" said Settle.
Mrs. Sisson, interviewed yesterday
morning, told a representative of The
Star she knew Gallagher was friend
of Miss Mildred Sperry, who shared the
Lyon Park house with Miss Baker and
Miss Olga Skinner. Mrs. Sisson said she
did not know whether on their recent
trip to Baltimore her husband and Gal
lagher had visited the girls home in
Lyon Park,
Last night, following the arrest of her
husband, Mrs. Sisson would not discuss
the case. declaring she was q nervous
wreck over the whole matter. She had
said earlier in the day, however, that
her husband came home about o'clock
last Friday evening and had spent all
day Saturday and Sunday at his home
in Warsaw making bird houses.
James Gallagher, father of Julian
Gallagher, was equally positive that his
son had been at home as usual last Fri
day night. Mrs James Gallagher con-
Cured in this view. Gallagher is not
married.
Deputy Sheriff Settle declared that
both Gallagher and Sisson have held
places of high esteem in the village of
Warsaw. Gallagher, he said, was born
and raised in Warsaw, while SiSSon,
born in Emmerton. about 9 miles away,
married a Warsaw girl and had been
living in Warsaw for the past 20 years.

later Mrs. Parsons made an an
nouncement at the luncheon table"

tense heat is over, and really until
all these legal affairs are arranged
it would be much more convenient

Celia looked up, startled.

Mrs. Parsons looked pleased. She
took care to repeat this incident the
next time she met John Mitchell.
And Mitchell, hearing 1t, seemed
impressed.
"Celia's awfully fond of you,
Evelyn" he said. 1--WE noticed that
myself. And why shouldn't she be-?
You're almost mother to her!"
Evelyn eyed him from under low
cred lids.
Il only wish could do more" she
said quietly.
The following week saw Mrs. Par
sons and Celia installed in the up
town apartment. The girl dreaded
leaving hardwood, but after she was
back in the city she found life far
different than in her grandmother
dreary mansion.
Mrs. Parsons had many engage
ments. Celia was allowed to enter
tain herself as she chose, and there
was no dearth of amuSements. Tod
Jordan became even more attentive.
He took Celia on long drives, STOP
ping usually at some country place
for dinner. Evening they saw plays
or danced:
Mrs. Parsons began ordering her
fall wardrobe. Early selection, she
said, was important. At MitchelI's
request she took Celia shopping and
helped the girl select several cos
tunes.
During the first week in the city
Celia sent note to Barney Shields
giving him her new address, and
asking him to call. She received
no answer.
Celia was melancholy for a day
or two and then determined to put
Barney out of her mind. She was
hurrying along Madison avenue one
afternoon only few blocks from
Evelyn Parsons apartment when
she recognized a tweed suit ahead.
The young man wearing the suit
was buying a newspaper.
The girl paused beside him
How do you do, Mr.. Shields?"
"Celia!" The broad grin Barney
flashed at her was like old times.
1--WE been wanting to see YOU"
she said. Wont you walk home
with me?"
"Glad to-"
They had gone half a block and
were talking eagerly when sudden
ly Celia noticed a man coming to-
ward them. 1t was Tod Jordan.
