Troops Held In Reserve.
Police guards were assigned to trolley
cars, a few Of which were operated.
Passengers at first feared to ride, as
groups of strikers still appeared In the
streets, but the loaded rifles of the
police gave them ample protection and
by mid-afternoon one line out of the
cltys so was running on more or less
regular schedule.
The city government was determined
to break up this strike. Troops were
held in reserve today, but as indica-
tons increased that the strike was near

COMMITTEE DENIES
TESS WILL RESIGN
Chairman Was Advised Fully
on Conference at White
House Yesterday.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator Simeon D. Fess, chairman
of the Republican National Committee,
could have saved himself some trou-
BILE and the committee the need of is
suing a statement denying published
reports Of conference at the White
House yesterday by the simple expedient
Of attending the conference. The con-
ference was a meeting of officials Of
the Republican National Committee
with President Hoover. The failure of
MIR. Fess to be present immediately
gave rise to rumors that he would i'm
mediately retire from the craftsmanship
of the National Committee.
AS matter Of fact, Senator Fess was
fully advised of the subject matter Of
the conference of the committee on
Gals, which was the size of the or
ganization which is to be maintained
in Washington now that the congress
sional elections are over. He did not
deem his presence necessary, so he did
not go either to the committee head
quarters or later to the White House
when the officials called upon the Presi-
dent to go over matters with him.

G|BSON'S EFFORTS
IN NAVY ROW FAIL
New Franco-It Impasse
Reached as Construction
Holiday Nears End.
BIZ PAUL SCOTT MoMRER.

BY Radio to The Star.
PARIS, France, November 10.-
app.ars today that the American inter-
yention in the Franco-Italian naval
dispute which In the course Of Ambassa-
dor Hugh S. Gibson's visits to Paris and
Rome a fortnight ago aroused such
Widespread hopes has completely failed
The French have not now and never
have had the slightest intention OF
granting Italy naval parity in any new
treaty and the Italians still insist that
they are unwilling to discuss figures
unless this parity Is first granted.
After two futile attempts by the
Fir nch at Geneva to resume the con-
versations in accordance with Mr.
Gibcons suggestion, 1t was seen that
the situation was absolutely unchanged
by Mr.. Gibson's talks and consequently
no further developments are expected
at least until after the League of Ma
tons Disarmament Committee, now sit
ting at Geneva, concludes its labor.
Naval Holiday Near End.
The so-cslled Franco-Italian naval
holiday terminates December l. As nc
agreement meanwhile has been reached
French constructions will then be re-
surned Immediately.
The false hopes aroused by Mr.. Glib
sons visits to Paris and Rome were
based on the belief that he had per-
suaded the Italians to leave aside cues
lions of principle like parity and talk
actual figures. On this supposition, the
French delegate TO Geneva visited the
Italian delegate and proposed to lay
before him the French construction pro-
gram for comparison with the Italian
program.
Italy to Match Program.
The Italian delegate, according to re-
liable information, replied precisely as
Italy has stated so many times in the
course of the last few months, that
whatever the French figures might be-
the Italian figures would be Identical
AS this amounted merely to a renewed
insistence on the principle of parity
without regard to actual needs or inten-
tons, the negotiations were promptly
ended.
The French delegate then suggested
to the British delegate that Great
Britain might get around the dificulty
by the negotiation of separate Franco
British and Italo- British agreements
After some hesitation, Great Britain
seems to have decided not to adopt this
course. American Intervention having
failed and British Intervention having
apparently been refused, 1t is considered
that nothing more remains to be done
This correspondent learns that France
does not intend for the present to ex-
anime the question of the ACCESSIBILITY
CT attempting to negotiate a four oower
treaty and Great Britain, the United
States and Japan, excluding Italy.

Jahncke confirmed published stories to-
day that his car had been held up and
searched on the Washington Baltimore
Boulevard, but said the incident hap
pened about two months ago. And
while the Assistant Secretary and 9TH
ers drew the inference that the car was
searched for liquor, inquiry developed
the fact that the searchers were look
ing for Japanese beetles.
Mr.. Jahncke said that his car, with
other cars, was held up on the road
near Baltimore one evening about 8
o'clock, having been signaled to stop by
means Of red flares. Uniformed men
proceeded to search the car, and Mr..
Jahncke said they were perfectly cour-
teous, did not ask him who he was nor
did he tell them, and that he didn't
know who they were.
Federal inspectors on a japanese
beetle quarantine assignment were sta
toned at Waterloo, on the Baltimore
Pike, about two months ago, and they
held up cars by means of red flares
The Federal quarantine agents wear

BY the Associated Press.


BORDEAUX, France, November 10
DR.. Claude Dornier, inventor and builder
of the DO-X, giant German seaplane,
today said that it had been decided to
take down the IL motors of the ship
when it reaches Lisbon and have them
revised carefully and fully inspected
before the plane proceeds across .the
Atlantic to New York.
He said that his plans call for no
alteration in the number or type of the
engines. The explanations were in an
swer to reports from England that he
would relace the present II motors with
eight 900-horsepower British engines.
Experts here believe that the diff
Guilty the DO-X has been having is not
so much with the motors as with the
magnetos, a report which is lent some
color by departure of an engineer of
the firm which made the magnetos for
Lisbon to be on hand when the seaplane
reaches there.
Rain fell steadily this morning. 1t
was very cloudy, with an extremely low
ceiling, and altogether was the worst

DETROIT, November 18.-The opera
lions of two aerial smuggling syndicates
aliens from Canada to the United States
were revealed today with the indictment
of 10 men by the Federal grand jury.
According to information held by the
Government, the syndicates operated
80 planes for the smuggling of liquor
and aliens from Canada to remote land
ing fields in the United States.
Although the operations of the syn
dicates were confined for the most part
to the Detroit area, Government in
vestigators said that planes landed
contraband in the vicinity of cities in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
1900 Gases in Month.
Evidence on which the indictments
were based was obtained by undercover
agents, who joined the syndicates and
worked with the smugglers for weeks.
The investigators reported that 1900
cases of liquor cleared a single Cana
dian airport in one month at the height
of the operations, while correspondingly

Gibson and Cecil See Menace to

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, November 18.-The pre-
paratory Disarmament Commission to-
day adopted the first article of the
naval armament section of the draft
convention providing for total lini-
tation and reduction of tonnage.
The commission then proceeded to
seek agreement on the next two articles
which provide for limitation by cate
gories and the right of transfer of a
percentage of tonnage from one cate
CORY to another.
These three provisions are parallel to
those of the London Naval Treaty.
The Russian delegation succeeded in
getting insertion of provision for re-
duction as well as limitation in the
phraseology of the first article. Here
Maxim Litvinoff, the Russian repre-
sentative, found himself in the majority
for the first time at this session of the
commission.
Gibson Agrees to Proposal.
Hugh S. Gibson, the American dele
gate, the British and the French, joined
in agreeing with this Soviet proposal.
Unable to agree on how to satisfy the
desire of the smaller naval powers for
freedom Of transfer In more categories,
the commission entrusted this problem
for study to q small committee made up
of the chief delegates of Russia, Japan,
Sweden. Spain and Greece.
Immediately after approving the
Soviet proposal to insert the word Gre
duce" in the report, the commission re-
jected Russian effort to eliminate

tation.'
L!tvinoff today uttered an outburst of

by the French and White Russians in
Crimean waters In 1920, and the French
have retained them pending judicial
settlement.

Though there has been 10 years Of
peace" said Litvinoff. part Of the
Soviet feet is still held in captivity by
one of the great powers. BY what right?
They have no right except the right Of
force"
Debate today was waged around the
desire of the smaller naval powers for
freedom to transfer tonnage in the cate
gories of small ships, which they regard
as essential to their defense needs.
Both Mr.. Gibson and Lord Cecil ex-
pressed sympathy with this attitude,
while suggesting that policy of build
ing submarines without limit might
prove a grave menace to peace. The
Spanish, Swedish and Russian delegates
offered amendments to give this freedom
to the smaller navies.
The dividing line between big navies,
which would be bound by category lirni-
tation, and small navies, which would
have full liberty of transfer, then came
up. The Spanish representative wished
to leave fixation of this line to the con-
ference. Sweden wished to fix 1t at
100000 tons, while Russia proposed
zoo, 900 tons.
