KRUPP ARMS SALES
TO ALLIES CHARGED
War Stores Were Bought by
Enemies Through Neutral
Powers, Writer Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 22-Under the
authority of Federal statutes relating
to high treason and reasonable favor
itism, an investigation has been or
dered into sensational reports that the
Krupp and Thyssen munitions firms
sold huge quantities of war materials
to neutral nations during the Great
War, with the knowledge that they
would be delivered to enemy nations.
These charges against two of Ger
manys largest munitions manufactur-
ers are contained in a recently pub
lished book, THE Bloody Interna-
tionale of War Industry" by Otto Leh-
mann Russbueldt.
The book specifically accuses Thyssen
Of having sold infantry breast-protect-
ing shields to Holland during the war
at lower prices than the Arm asked in
Germany.
It alleges that the Krupps turned
over to England patents in the manu-
facture OF hand grenade fuses. To
substantiate this, Herr Russbueldt cites
suit brought by German bank, of
which DIR. Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen
und Halbach was chairman of the
board, against the English war NUM-
tions firm of Vickers.
The suit is said to be for priority
payment of one shilling per fuse, or
total of 123,0O0,00O Shillings, or about
$50, $780, 900. The book alleges this
claim figured on the debit side of the
VickerS' ledgers at the time of the
company's merger with the Armstrong
Co.
Prom this figure one can realize
how much the Krupps profited from the
death of each German soldier" Russ
bueldt wrote.

NAVY DELEGATES
STILL OPTIMISTIC
No Fear of Failure Shown in
Spite of Delay From
French Crisis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 22.-The nth
week of the London Naval Conference
ended today, with active negotiations
suspended on account Of the French
political crisis, but with no dread of
failure in the minds Of the delegates.
The head of the American delegation,
Col. Henry L. Stimson, has declared that
the five-power agreement to humanize
submarine warfare in itself justifies the
American mission to London.
The British delegation feels that what
has been done, while 1t IS not spectacu-
lar, Is sound and hopeful for the future
Of Disbursement.
The patient Japanese delegation is
taking the weeks holiday as Q mere
incident in the negotiations.
Mussolini Pleased.
Dino Grand is satisfied with having
definitely proclaimed Italian policy at
London, and reporters from Rome today
says that his chief, Premier Mussolini,
formally approved Of his craftsmanship.
Former Premier Andre Tardieu, head
of the French delegation until his
cabinet fell, left London emphatic in
the opinion that the parley would sue
coed.
But as to the degree of that sue
cess, the consensus Of the delegates to-
night was that 1t depended on whether
the new French cabinet organized by
Camille ChautempS was strong enough
to weather the month or six weeks
which still may be necessary TO attain
the highest aims OF the flve-power dele
cations.
Only Sporting Chance"
In some conference circles it Is
feared that formal negotiations have
only a sporting chance" of resuming
on Wednesday, the date set for recon-
vening when adjournment was taken.
Dispatches from Paris tonight were
not overconfldent that Chautemps
would survive the ministerial statement
and debate thereon Tuesday. If he does,
the French delegates-Aristide BRAND,
foreign minister; Albert Sarraut. min
lister of marine; M. Danielou, minister
OF the merchant marine; M. Lamoureux,
minister of finances, and Robert Bel
LANCER, underSecretary of marine-wil
cross the channel Wednesday and
ChautempS himself plans to partici-
pate actively at a later date.
The Observer and the Sunday Times.
two of Englands most influential
papers, voice uncertainty about the
future of the conference.
See No French Change.
The Observer says that a very
critical period in the negotiations has
been reached, and the Sunday Times
asserts that the high tonnage figures
of the French naval demand threaten
to disturb the whole basis Of Anglo
American parity.
Both newspapers agree that the
cabinet change in France does not
mean q. change in French policy.
The Observer, however, thinks that
the Japanese situation may be altered
by the result of the national elections,
and that the government having been
returned to once with greater power,
may feel freer and therefore sur
render some of the stiffness that has
characterized the Japanese demands in
London.

service as an advisor at the Conference.
Admiral Jones is planning to sail for
the United States on the Berengaria
Wednesday.
Capt. Higgins says his condition is
not critical, but treatment at home as
soon as possible is urgently desirable.
1t was rumored q fortnight ago that
Admiral Jones had determined to re-
sign and 60 home because of differences
of opinion with Secretary of State
Stimson regarding American naval
policy at the five-power Conference.
But it was insisted in official quarters
tonight that the admiralS return Is
due exclusively to his physical state.
Stimson's Statement.
Col. Stinson expressed regret that
Admiral Jones must leave.
ut Is with the greatest regret that I
will see Admiral Jones depart" said
Col. Stimson. He has been q great
help to me and the whole delegation
and We all enjoyed working with Kim.
1t is my deepest sorrow that he is so
i'll that 1t will be necessary for him TO
return and that we will lose, together
with the American people, the benefits
of his previous Conference experience
and his intimate knowledge of the
American Navy"

FIRE; SEVEN HURT
Unidentified Men Are Victims
of Early Morning Flames

OAKLAND, Calf, February 22.-Five
unidentified men were burned to death
and seven other persons were injured
here today when fire, famed by a high
wind, swept through the Webster
House, an old frame hotel on Webster
street, near Fifth.
Four alarms brought firemen from
all parts OF the city. The blaze was
discovered shortly after 4 am. by
roomer. His cries aroused Charles
Martin, the manager, and attracted the
attention OF passing policeman,
Sergt. Jack Sherry. Together they
sped through the halls arousing as
many guests as they could before be-
ing forced to flee for their lives. Many
of the guests barely escaped, making
their way down improvised ladders and
through Smoke-filled halls. Mrs. Mar
tin, wife OF the manager; their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Mabel Hoffman, and Mrs.
Honman's daughter, Beryl, fed to the
street in their night attire.
The bodies, burned almost beyond
hope of recognition, were removed to
the morgue. Lizzie Ginsberg, a cham
Der maid, was reported missing after
the fire, but later was found to have
spent the night at a friends home.

G. Hagi, the most severely hurt
among the survivors, received a frac-

The cause Of the fire had not been
determined late today, however, Fire

have been started by heaters in some of
the rooms.

The Supreme Court, with Charles
Evans Hughes at its head as Chief
Justice in place of William Howard
Taft, will resume its sessions tomorrow
after q recess from January 81.
Its first business will be simple pro-
ceedtngs inducing Mr.. Hughes into his
high office, and then the old members
of the court will deliver a number of
decisions In So cases which have been
under consideration during the recess.
Among these may be rulings on the
validity of the Hoch-Smith resolution,
authorizing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to reduce railroad rates to
aid, agriculture in distress, challenged
by more than 400 ailroads in the
deciduous fruit case from California
and the challenge by the Duke interests
in the Carolinas of the authority of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
over interurban electric railways.
Bond Issues Opposed.
The first case to be orally argued
before the court with Chief Justice
Hughes at its head will be that brought
by G. L. johnson and other citizens of
South Carolina. opposing a proposed
sos ,00o,o 900 bond issue by the State for
highway improvement. Showing the
diversity of the business before the
highest tribunal the second case to be
argued comes from the other side of
the Continent. brought by G. L. Craw-
ford Of Mendocino County, Calf, at
lacking the validity of the law under
which it is proposed to organize the
Golden Gate Bridge and highway
district.

eral Of the Department of Justice, whose
resignation is in the hands of the Presi-
dent, will argue several cases before the
court prior to retiring. Hughes, the De-
partment Of Justice said today, had pre-
psred several cases, and it was con-
sidered necessary that he argue them
before quitting the ONCE from which he
resigned when his father accepted ap-
pointment as Chief Justice. The Chief
Justice is not expected to participate in
the cases argued by his son.
The department said that Thomas
Day Thatcher, New York jurist, named

Hughes as solicitor general. could not
arrange his affairs TO take up his new
duties for at least so days.

Senate has considered the Dale bill,
was acquainted with It's provisions, and
unanimously had passed it on three diff
ferent occasions. The recent Lehlbach
bill establishes q new retirement Sys-
tenn, and it was filed Unexpectedly,
when the passage of the Dale bill gen.
orally. was conceded, and came like a
thunderbolt out of clear sky. 1t is
only natural, and common sense would
dictate it, that members of the Senate
would want the appropriate committee
OF that body to hold public hearings on
the Lehlbach bill in the event it was
passed by the House. Those deeply in
terested, as I am, in liberaliZing the re-
tirement law felt reasonably certain that
if the new Lehlbach bill was reported,
no legislation would be secured this
session.
"Under the circumstances, with all
due respect to President Hoover and
Representative Lehlbach, whose sincerity
no one can question, there was only one
honest course to take In justice to the
many thousands of Federal employees
who have been looking forward to the
passage of some iberalizing legislation
this session.
Could Be Used as Basis.
81 am also glad that Mr.. Lehlbach in
tends 10 re-introduce his bill for further
consideration after the Dale-Lehlbach
bill has been acted upon. While there
are some features therein that I can
not agree with, it could be used as a
basis for consideration of a bill that
will more nearly approximate general
satisfaction, without in any way affect
ing, adversely, existing law. Further
more, it will enable Federal employees
to study its provisions and to make con-
structive criticisms or suggestions to
the end that a well planned retirement
system, as satisfactory as possible to ALL
later will be enacted into law"
Senator Dale of Vermont, advanced
the suggestion yesterday that the
original retirement bill, which already
has passed the Senate, could be amend
ed to meet the argument that higher
paid employees contribute to the retire
ment fund out of proportion to what
they get back. The Senator said he had
noted in newspaper accounts Of the
Presidents statement that 1t dealt with
that phase of the problem.
THAT reason easily could be taken
care OF by amending the bill" the Sen
ator said, referring to the bill which
has passed the Senate.
Although he is not ready at this time
to discuss other points of difference In
the two retirement plans, Senator Dale
Is following closely all developments and
is acquainting himself with all angles
of the new plan proposed by Repre-
sentative Lehlbach.
The Senator disclosed yesterday that
he has asked the Government actuaries
to give him statement as to the cost
Of the new Lehlbach bill, as compared
with the measure he steered through
the Senate.
