INDIAN MOSLEMS
SPLIT ON FARLEY
Mohammedan Factions Are
Unable to Name Delegates
for Conference.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, July 29.-Lord Irwin,
Viceroy of India, and the Indian gov
eminent are having difficulty in choos-
ing delegates for the round-table con-
ference in London this Fall.
The reason, says the Daily Herald in
dispatch from Simla, is that while
Hindu delegates are chosen with ease, 1t
is another story with the Moslems. The
latter are split into three sections-one
exclusively communal, hating the Hin
dus and frankly opposing the National
ist movement; another desires COM
munal gains, but it not anti-National-
istic. while the third wishes to sink
communal differences and stands for
National progress.
And to complicate matters, each sec
ton claims the backing of the entire
Moslem community.
The correspondent adds that Ma
tiOnalist opinion. which veered toward
the conference idea after the viceroy's
speech before the legislative assembly
at Simla July 8. now has grown cold
because of the suggestion that all British
parliamentary parties be represented at
the conference.
Lord Twins speech created a Sensa-
ton both in London and India. He
said the Labor government still believed
that dominion status was a natural
completion of midas constitutional
growth. Opposing parties asked If the
Laborites intended to shelye the recent
Simon report, which recommended a
slow advance toward progressive au-
tonorny by Indian states

Group in House.
By GEORGE II. MANNING

("ashlngton Bureau, x K. lteFaldi
 Washington, D. C, Dec. 3.-The death several months ago of Cop gressman James r. Glynn of Win sted will most likely deprive the state of Connecticut of representa- ton on the important house com mittec on military affairs. since it Is generally conceded that Con- gressman Edward Goss of Water bury, will not succeed 10 that post.
 This important committee is com- posed of leading members of the lower house, usually those who have served several terms and ap- pointment Of a representative during his initial term is almost unheard Of. A vacancy in its membership has existed since the death of Mr. Glynn, but it is expected that it will be filled at an early meeting of the committee on standing committees and that the incumbent will come from some place other than Con- necticut, Goss being assigned to one Of the groups of lesser prominence.

LDPARLEY ON
 DISARMAMENT SET
Next Conference Likely to Be
 Held Early in 1882

Geneva, Dec. 3 tP-A world con- ference on disarmament probably will be held early in 1882.
 The preparatory disarmament commission, drawing near the end Of it's labors and the completion of q draft disarmament treaty. voted yesterday, 14 to 4. with numerous abstentions, 10 invite the council of the League of Nations to set the exact date for the conference. which will take up reduction of naval, land and air ornaments.
 In making the invitation a pro posal of Count Non Bernstorff of Germany that November ,. 1881. be set as the date for the meeting, was rejected, most of the members feel ing that the league council could best arrange such d matter and that such d date was too early for suf- tCient preparation for the meeting. January or February, l932, seemed 10 be in the minds Of most of the representatives here as the date when the conference should be call cd.

 Meanwhile. a posse of some 7J men reentered the woods of south crn Maine and resumed search for RamSdell, who disappeared from the BoWditch camp on the shore of the lake early Sunday morning.
 Most persons hcrea bouts were con- Ninced that the missing man had tumbled into the lake to his death while wandering through the woods in the carly-morning darkness, and hence Deputy Sheriff Frank Hamii- ton arranged for use of the subma- rine light. Dragging operations at the lake, completed last night. failed 10 reveal any trace of Ramsdell.
 Deputy Sheriff Hamilton said he P''SoHdliS oouutSu tildl lHe -hdSSL- chusetts mans body would be found in the lake. He believed Ramsdell vas still somewhere in the woods perhaps dead from exposure. He pointed out that near-zero weather had prevailed almost from the time of Ramsdell's disappearance and that the missing man probably could not have survived without some form of shelter. The temper ature this morning was only eight above zero and the rigorous weather hampered posSemcn.

 Aground in Fog

 PLANNING ID MERGE
Fidelity Finance and Standard to
 Vote On Consolidating

Stockholders of the Fidelity Con- pany of Connecticut, Inc, and the Standard Financial Corporation will meet Dec. 22 to act on recom- mendation that merger be effected by exchanging two shares of the stock of the Standard for one share of the stock of the Fidelity and pay ing 40 cents per share to stockhold- CTS of the Fidelity.
 The following notice has been sent to the stockholders;
 At special meetings of the board Of directors of the Fidelity Company of Connecticut and board of dircc- tors of the Standard Financial Cor noration a plan for consolidating and merging the two companies was carefully considered and discussed.
 Due to the depreciation in in vestments under current market con- ditions, it was the unanimous opin- ion of the boards of directors that 1t would be beneficial to follow out the plans and decisions of various other investment trusts by consoli- dating the companies.
 By so doing it will be possible to reappraise the common stock holdings of both companies so that there will be a paid in surplus, thereby minimizing the likelihood of a recurrence of situation prevent ing the payment of dividends under tle plan to be submitted to the stock holders of each company.
 Although the Fidelity Company Of Connecticut has been receiving dividends on it's holdings, the off cers of the company have advised against the payment of dividends 10 it's stockholders at the present time, because the current market value Of the assets of the Fidelity Company of Connecticut is less than the amount set up on the books of the corporation as capital.
 Any action for consolidation and merger will of course. be subject 10 and necessarily must receive the ap- proval of the secretary of state

AMERICAN CAPITAL
 WANTED BY JAPAN
United States Nippon's Best Gus
 toner, Dr. Minakuchi Says

Dr. Yutaka Minakuchi. an author ity On Far East conditions, gave an | interesting and instructive lecture on Economic Relations between the United States and Japan" before the Woman's club yesterday after noon. He told Of the great progress made by Japan in the last 15 years. From being an obscure and unim- portant Asiatic nation. it has nov become a world great power. he said.
 The treaty made by Commodore Perry in 1854 between Japan and the United States opened trade rela- tions between Japan and the west crn nations. As a consequence Japan aWoke to a realization of her own powers and resources. Foreign trade has developed slowly from small beginnings. Many mistakes have been made. but these mistakes have been the stepping stones of Japan's prosperity, the speaker said.
 In the early days wealth was not considered important, and traders were held in contempt. That condi- ton is changed, and the nation has become interested in trade and manufacturing on a large scale. Its silks and embroideries have become famous throughout the world. The raising and exporting of tea is a principal industry. Rice, paper glass. oil. beans and peas are among their exports. Japanese pottery and porcelain are to be found in all American shops. The United States is Japan's richest customer.
 Japans ambition is to become a great factor in the commerce of today. Her lack of capital and the necessity of buying raw materials abroad are the principle obstacles. She must have three things. petro- leum. iron and coal. American cap ital is her great desire and need.
