POUND SUGGESTS
REWRITING LAWS
Would Define Petty Liquor
0ffenseS in VoIStead
and Jones Acts.
By the Associated Press.


A suggestion that it might b. >-iSe
to rewrlJe the Volstead and Jones laws
to prevent district attorneys fran
threatening dry violators with more
drastic punishment was made today
by Roscoe Pound of the Law Enforce
ment Commission before a House jul
dietary subcommittee.
Pound and Chairman WickerSham
of the National Law Enforcement Com
mission were before the committee at
final hearings on the ChriStopherson
bills, to give United States commission
ers the power to try minor violations of
the dry laws. Wickersham did not testi-
fly, but listened closely TO the proceed
ings.
Under questioning by Representative
Christopherson, Republican, South Da-
kota, chairman o: the group, Pound,
who is dean of the Harvard Law School,
made the suggestion as his personal
opinion and not as that of the Crime
Commission.
Can Threaten ViOIaIOrS
Pound said the measures. one of
which would define slight or casual dry
law offenses, and the other, which would
authorize commissioners to make ind
ings and accept pleas of guilty, had been
mitted the district attorneys to threaten
violators with the Jones law If they did
not plead guilty. The Jones law extends
the maximum penalty for dry law vio-
lationS to five years in prison and q
$4,000 fine. The attacks should be
directed, Pound said, against the ma
tional prohibition and Jones laws.
He added that the district attorneys
had the implied power now and used 1t
in so-called bargain days" in the Fed
eral Courts, but that he felt it would
be better to clarity the statutes. How
ever. he said, from standpoint of i'm
proving procedure, the Volstead and
Jones acts should be rewritten to pre-
vent the district attorneys from threat
ening grand jury indictment as felony
to force an accused to accept sentence
as petty offender, without jury trial
Appeared Two Mornings.
The hearings we're concluded after
Pound had spent two mornings explain
ing the measures to the committee
Christopherson said they would be taken
up for consideration early next week
but that he did not expect them to be
reported to the full committee for some
time.
In the course of the hearings. Repre-
sentative Tucker, Democrat, Virginia,
said that in his opinion if the casual
and slight offenses were defined def
nitely as petty cases. land since petty
ohenseS are not crimes" there would
be no question about doing away with
the jury trials. He added that petty
cases did not demand jury trials.
Pound said the commissions recon-
mendation had followed the practice of
the States IN dealing with petty cases.

fensive, Private conversations between
the delegations, of course, will continue.
It Is known that several members of
the American delegation had studied
the problem of drafting a treaty prior
to their departure from Washington,
and have devoted some talk to it since
arriving in London.
Col. Stimson's attitude is that the
placing of various points on paper as
agreement is reached will have an eX-
celIent effect in increasing the morale
of all delegations and also finally dis
pose Of problems as they are agreed
upon.
The preliminary idea of the Ameri-
cans on the method of drafting a naval
limitation treaty Is that each two or
three delegations upon reaching an
agreement upon their separate prob
lens should report such agreement to
the chiefs of delegations, after which
the chiefs would instruct each delega-
ton to submit a draft of its ideas as to
how the matter should be written into
a final draft treaty.

TENTATIVE PACTS
FIX NAVY FIGURES
No BattIeShip Would Be Re-
placed Until 1886 Under
AngIo-U. S. Agreement.

Daily News. Copyright. 1880.
LONDON, England, February 7.-As
result of three weeks of confidential
conversations between the delegates OF
the five powers represented at the Lon
don Naval Conference the following
agreements seem now to have been ten
tatively reached:
The United States will scran three
old battleshipS, Great Britain viii scrar
five and japan one. Great Britain also
will scrap four cruisers.
No battleships will be replaced prior
to 1896.
The United States will have ID big
cruisers, Great Britain is, unless Japan
insists on more than IL for herself and
France more than 8, in which case the
Anglo-American figures might also
change.
British Get 35 Small Cruisers.
Great Britain will have IS small
cruisers averaging 5,400 tons. armed
with 6-inch guns, and a total large and
small cruiser tonnage of $4,000.
The United States, in addition to its
10 of the Omaha type, will seemingly
build new 6-inch cruisers slightly
over 9,000-tons and will have a total
cruiser tonnage OF 5Zi,UUU,
Great Britain and the United States
will each have $50 destroyers by 1886,
and not over $4,000 tons of submarines,
provided these figures are not forced up
by French or Japanese intentions.
A treaty will be made for five years
only on the basis of readjusted building
and replacement programs without re-
gard to fixed and permanent ratios.
a. WI~No
The League of Nations meanwhile. at
general disarmament conference, will
attempt to extend the London prtnci-
pies to the smaller naval powers.
Secretary of State Stimson'S state
ment on the Anglo-American cruiser
agreement-for that is what it really
isis the first official intimation of the
evolution in the United States naval
thought.
It continues to be admitted in Ameri-
can circles that convention providing
for conversations in case of breach or
threatened breach of the Kellogg pact
is not excluded as a possibility. An
agreement to confer Is suggested.
The French are somewhat surprised
by Secretary Stimson's statement. They
suggest that perhaps it would have
been more correct to talk about cruisers
Anglo-American figures to the press.
French Remember 1922 Pact.
They remember keenly that at Wash
ington in 1922 they were finally con-
fronted with British-American-J Japan
csc agreement and asked to accept what
those three powers had decided upon.
They are fully determined that there
shall be no repetition, so far as they are
concerned, Of Washington methods
here.
Furthermore, the French express as
constituent that the British and Ameri-
cans, who in committee are opposing
the idea of transfers of tonnage be-
tween large and small cruiser classes, in
Mr. Stimson's statement provide, as be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, for precisely such transfers.
Present indications are that the
French will give their own figures for
mally to the press when Premier Andre
Tardieu returns from Paris on Tuesday.
