Believe DennispOrt
 School Fire Was Set

Dennisport. Mass, March IS (UP)-Possibility that fire which destroyed the S0-year- Den- nisport Grammar school and threatened the entire village here last night might have been of incendiary origin was consid- cred by authorities today.
 The burned building, local landmark, had been constructed on the island of Nantucket and brought here by boat 67 years ago.
 Belief that the fire, which caused $30,000 loss, might have been set was based on the fact that strong opposition had devel- opcd in connection with a plan to replace the old school with Q modern building. An appropria- tion of $S5,000 was voted for this purpose at the town meeting last fortnight, but since that time, opponents of the plan had taken steps in an effort to retain the schoo! that was destroyed last night.

70 Year Old Nebraska Democrat Indignantly Attacks System of ''Mur- dering Measures in Committee and Sup pressing Debate.

Washington, March Is R)-Rep- resentative Howard. 70 year old Me- braska democrat, today denounced what he termed 'the gag rules of the house." and 'absolute control by the will of three."
 For the first time in his long life, the Nebraskan said, he was speak ing with notes for fear he might pronounce 'intemperate sentences should I speak extem mporaneously."'
 He then proclaimed the United States senate the only national, for um preserving the power of free speech, and announced that in Washington was man far more powerful than the president of the United States-"our princely col league, the gentleman from New York, MT. Shell, chairman of the gag rules committee of this house." He did not name the other two per- sons concerned in what he called "the rule of three.'
 Says Bills Choked to Death
 In his draWling voice, the legis- lator said that tariff. amendments, oil investigations, power investiga- tions, and the Norris lame duck joint resolution had been choked to death by rule Simply because every member knows that in order to drag a measure from a hostile committee a petition to that end must be signed by 21S mem- bcrs of the house,
 He contrasted conditions in the senate where, he said, Every mem- Der has the inalienable right to of fer amendments to any pending bll," telling of the manner in which the two bodies handled the tariff legislation.
 Previous to passage of that tariff bill under the gag rules" Howard said, protesting members had an- nounced their intention to vote for tho bill in the belief that the sen ate, working under it's liberal rules, would enact wholesome amendments"
 Their faith was justified, he ada ed, commenting that a "splcndidly amended tariff bill would some day come back to the house" and adding as an aside, God and Grundy know whcn."
 He described his own colleague. however, as 'supinely submitting tC the sway and control of three off cial members" "helpless as little children" and controlled as abso- lutely as an American schoolboy controls his own marbles"
 Centering his attack on Shell and what he termed ''his murderous ] treatment of legislation for the country's veal" Howard rhetorical ly wished for courage to Hook Der tram Shell squarely in the eye

activities here at this stage, but it appeared today that the French sit nation and the Franco-ltalian diff ferences still were. as they have been for weeks, the cruX of difficulty at agreement.
 Paris was understood to be nego- tiating privately with Rome for q better understanding of what the Mussolini government means by par ity with France, while efforts were being made here, it was understood, to have Dino Grandi, head of the Italian delegation state certain def mite figures for Italian naval needs rather than the vague standard of equality with France.
 There was a feeling in many quart CTS that much of the negotiations now will have 10 await return of NJ. Tardieu from Paris next weekend. He will return, he says. as many week ends as he may be needed. Some saw in his statement indication of considerable prolongaton of the conference, with real negotiations oc- curing principally only on Sundays.
 Tlurries on Conference
 There were minor flurries regard ing the conference in the house of commons last night in debate on the naval estimates. Winston Churchill, former conservative chan celor of the eXchequer, notified the governments:
 The silence which the opposi- tion maintains upon various mat ters which are the cruX Of the con- ference must not be taken by the government as a sign they have the consent Of the house of commons in the measures which they pro- pose"
 There was some criticism from the labor bcnches Commander Jo- seph NJ. kenworthy, the only naval officer of distinction in the labor parliamentary contingent, called the conference: "A terrible failure.'
 Attempts might be made to show that it succeeded, but that would be worse than admitting
  the government had been too great and that it would be better to start friends and to try again in Q few years"
 Two Attitudes Taken
 Anxiety and hope were pre"y evenly balanced today in an editor ial review of the present position oe the conference in the London Times. The paper noted certain improve ments in it's prospects over the weekend, and then declared:
 The patient, who seemed in ex- tremis, obviously is not going to die just yet. XX Whether there js much chance for complete recovery is another matter. The condition of the conference still is critical; q way out of the deadlock is yet &o be found but the search is far from being abandoned and is now being pursued with new ideas Of success. ''
 The Times ascribed salvage of the conference from complete break down to Prime Minister MacDona,d Nllll lilc lllN doSISldlGc tll ] Colonel StimSon and Ambassador =, Morrow'
 While still hoping for an ultimate five power agreement the TimC: realizes that unless some metho can be found to reconcile the views defended so obstnatcly by the French and Italian delegations il would seem hopeless to expect { five power agreement or even tc avoid a period of competitive build, ing between the two Mediterraneiu powers, which neither they nor tn. other naval powers can contemplaEt without misgiving."
