Replacement Of Obsolete Equip

in Annual Report.


The replacement of obsolete equip
ment at the Panama Canal with mod

lAtion increase and 26 years Of Ameri-
can operation, was recommended today
by Col. Harry Burgess, Governor Of the
Canal, in his annual report to the Sec

Congressional appropriations for the
modernisation Of Panama Canal equip

PROLONG
PARLEY

LONDON. Jan. "a 1NS).
With the five-power naval disar-

ment until further call by the
chairman" the delegates plunged
again TODAY into private ConVer-
sationS among themselves. reluc-
tantly reaching the unanimous
conclusion that the parley is
going to be a long draWn-out af-
fair.
When Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald adjourned the second
plenary session at st. James
Palace. yesterday. he indicated
that the next full meeting would
be called or Monday, giving the
delegates the entire weekend for
further private talks in an effort
to smooth out the many OBJ
ssaeies occasioued by the diver
gent policies and claims of the
various nations.
Macdonald Calls Conference
An official communiqus stated
that the premier, as chairman
OF the conference, had asked the
heads of all the delegations to
consult with him with view to
the collection, selection and ar
rangement" of all the questions
which in due course will be
brought before the conference.
This comprises a monumental
task and one which promises
almost incesSant work on the
parts of all concerned. With
each new evidence of the extreme
caution with which the leaders
are plotting this disarmament
conference, it becomes lncreas-
ingly obvious that Premier Andre
Tardieu of France was far too
sanguine when he expressed the
conviction the parley would be
washed up" within six weeks.
Observers are swinging over
one by one to the opinion of
President Hoover, who vouchSafed
the belief that it would be four
months b,fore the parley ended
with an agreement satisfactory
to all concerned.

ing at the bit. particularly by the
French delegates, there is no

Huge Mammal Glasses Fish Up
 River to Dover, N. H.

Dover, N. H, Aug. 27 (UP)- Though Dover is ar inland town, some 10 miles from the sea, local health authorities were faced with the problem of what to do with a four-ton whale.
 The whale, apparently pursuing a school of fish, wandered up the Cocheco river yesterday and became stranded when the tide went out. Subsequently police killed the man. nal with a volley of rife bullets.
 Measured today. the unusual visi- tor proved to be g feet long. 19 feet in circumference and with tail spread of eight feet Estimates placed it's weight as high as 5000 pounds.
 Health authorities debated the question of how to dispose of the whale. They hoped today's high tide might carry 1t back to sea. If not, it was suggested. the whale might be lowed down the river and dynamited.
 It was the first time whale had ever wandered up the river as far as Dover.
