ton by the senate of the treaty
which was drafted there. Secretary
of Navy Adams and other officials
and advisers will appear later.
The secretary of state told the
committee that the American dele
CATION, which included two sena-
tors, took full responsibility for the
treaty, as it acted upon its own
and received no instructions from
President Hoover while negotiations
were going on. The relegation, he
explained, took no decisions except
unanimously.
"We went to London,' Stims0n
said, without any specific instruc-
tions, written or verbal, preferring
to trust the delegation to use its
own attitude in contrast to many Of
our fellow countrymen who felt free
throughout the conference to cable
us what we should and should not
do.
Committee Represented
But the one man VINO had the
right to instruct US did not do 80, -
Stimson said. referring to President
Hoover. 1.-The responsibility is the
delegations. -
The secretary reminded the com.
mittee at the outset that it was rep.
resented on the delegation by two
of its members, Senators Reed, Re.
publican, Pennsylvania, n d Robi
son, Democrat, Arkansas, and then
quoted Robinson address Of April
20 as the best statement of the Am
erican purpose at London, Robinson
is Democratic floor leader.
Quoting from Robinson 8 speech.
Stimson outlined American Obiec.
tives at London as follows:
-. To cooperate with other dele.
cations in terminating naval compe.
tition by limiting all classes of war
ships.
"2. To arrange equality of naval
strength for the United States with
Great Britain.
"3. To arrange satisfactory re-
latlon between our navy and that

"Mr. Carroll said you were

after it was returned to the

Yes. Mother had just gone
to sleep when Fred Wagner
started to shout in the garden.
I remember I quickly closed the
window so that it would not
awaken her. Fifteen minutes
later went downstairs. Every
one was gone. That seemed
strange, so I walked out in the
garden. going slowly toward the
beach. I walked out - the dock
and saw the launch tied up.
I wondered where everyone was
and started back toward the
house."
did you see the launch being
tied up. or anyone coming off
the dock before you reached
it?"
"No. I did not. But after I
stepped off it someone threw
their arms about me from be-

but excited tone spoke to me.
He said. I love you, dear. I
can't let you go on with this'!"

came running along the beach.

explained. I'm the darkness he
thought, of course. that Louise

thanked them and left.

At 8 o'clock Alonzo Franks

body of Elsie Donahue had
been found, washed UP on
