PARKER QUESTION
 SET FOR MONDAY
Republicans Who Favor Con,
 irnation Believe Cause Weaker

Washington, April 2S P1The question of confirming or rejecting the nomination Of Judge John J. Parker as an associate justice of the supreme court will be taken up by the senate on Monday.
 Administration leaders were hope ful that the appointment would be approved. in spite of the, adverse vote in the judiciary committee and the opposition of negro and labor organizations. They conceded priv ately, however, that the outcome was doubtful and said a close vote was in prospect.
 With republican ranks widely split, the supporters of the nomina- ton had been counting heavily upon the chamber, but there were indica- tions today of unexpected opposition developing there.
 Senator Boral. who is leading the opposition, predicts that a vote will be reached after two or three days of debate. He bases his objection to Judge Parker upon a decision of the nominee as a federal circuit judge. upholding an injunction which restrained the United Mine Workers from seeking to organize the employees of West Virginia coal mining company who had signed so- called yellow dog contracts
 A move to take up the nomination tomorrow was made by Borah late yesterday, but Senator McNary of Oregon, the assistant republican leader, urged that consideration be deferred until Monday.
 President Hoover is still standing behind his nominee and Parker him self has informed his friends in the senate that he has no intention of withdrawing.

 Accompanying Colonel Stimson are Ambassador Morrow, Senator Robin son, and Secretary Adams, what was left of the clerical staff of the dele gation, the naval experts, and Amer ican newspaperme who were assign ed to the conference. Senator Reed elected to stay in Europe for a while visiting with Abassador Gibson in Brussels. Ambassador Dawes remains in London at his post.
 Treaty Put In Safe
 The delegation deposited in the ships safe q certified copy of 'the London naval treaty of 1o3o,"'which they signed yesterday at the final plenary session of the conference at St! James's palace. The original copy of the treaty remains with the Brit ish government. The copy probably will not be removed from the ships safe until tho liner reaches New York, next Tuesday.
 Weary and anxious for nothing so much as a rest and a good nights sleep the delegates went direct to their state-rooms, ignoring the music of the ships new night club, which had prepared welcome for them. They intended during the nextS six days to do as nearly nothing as the ships routine will permit.
 Some new formalitics, other than the rush of packing, occupied the closing hours of yesterday after ad- journment of the conference. Sena- tor Reed, in a radio speech broad cast to America, said that the Ameri- can delegation was coming home with the firm conviction that their countrymen will approve what has been done in Americas name."
 Thanks Macdonald
 One of the last acts of Colonel Stimson was to convey to Prime Min ister Macdonald, President Hoover's appreciation of the prime minister's devotion to the cause of Anglo-Amer- ican friendship and good relations among all nations.
 After thanking the American sec rctary of state the British prime minister told him: "Other people will come after us and they will finish our work, but in the meantime one of the most splendid and heartening experiences we have had has been the good feeling and close coopera- ton between you and your friends on the one hand and my friends and myself on the other."
 Ut is sad to bid you goodbye. be- cause you have become as one of ourselves. I hope you will have a pleasant voyage and take my hearty and personal respects with you to MT. Hoover Give my kindest regards to all the friends l left behind me in Washington"
 In final radio broadcast on the conference from No. 10 Downing street, Mir. Macdonald said:

HARWINTON LOSES 1,079
 PERSONS IN TEN YEARS
Town Believed Depleted by Number Of Farmers Who Have Sold
 Out to Wealthy People.

Waterbury. April 23 F9 - The toWnNof Harwinton lost 1,079 inhab- itants since the United States census of 1920, it was revealed today when Supervisor Andrew J. Cooney, di- recting the census work of the fifth congressional district, announced that the enumeration of 1880 shows HarWinton to have population of 941. The figure fer 1920 was g., 020. The official United States cen sus estimate for 1929 was 1900, in- dicating that Harwinton has lost approximately 800 population in the past year.
 Supervisor Cooney's explanation of the loss in population is that many farmers have left Harwinton since their farms have been pur- chased by wealthy individuals as private estates.
 Harwinton is the second town in the district to be completed in the United States census of 1880. The first was Norfolk, which showed a gain Of 54 over 1920.

and in the preparation of shis ad- dress which he said would be made shortly"
 The naval committee chairman has strongly indicated his disappro- val of the treaty, regarding it as embodying a departure from the American policy of building up it's fleet of large cruisers of wide steam- ing radius.
 Authorizes Big Fleet
 Congress has authorized a maxi mum big cruiser fleet of 23 vessels. Under the treaty the United States is limited to IS. Hale has announced that he will call the technical ex- pcrts of the navy before his com- mittee for an expression of their opinion on this point.
 Senator Borah of Idaho has given the treaty his conditional endorse pent. The treaty will be referred to his foreign relations committee, of which Borah is chairman, which must pass on it before the senate takes it up for ratification or rejec- ton. President Hoover has decided to transmit the fact to the senate as soon as the certified copy is receiv- cd from London and Borah has an nounced that every effort will be made to expedite it in committee.
 As yet there has been little indi- cation of a definite voting lineup for or against the treaty. A two- thirds vote is necessary for ratifica- tion. Those in close touch with the situation believe that the support of Reed, Robinson and Borah will prove an important influence in the coming discussion.

TWO EDGED FIGHT
 0N NAVAL TREATY
House and Senate Committees
 Both to Probe Agreement

Washington, April 2S P)-A two edged attack on the London naval treaty was forecast today in con- gross.
 With the new international agree ment scarcely A hours old, the chairman of both senate and house naval committees made plans to in yestigate.
 Falling in with the proposal Of Chairman Hale of the senate com- mittee, that the naval experts who were in London with the delegation be questioned, Chairman Britten of the house committee announced that his committee also would ask navy officers why some features of American naval policy were "aban- doncd" in London.
 Borah Wants Quiz
 Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee like wise wants to ask some questions, although he has indicated that he probably will favor ratification.
 Britten said he would summon Secretary Adams Of the navy de- partment, one of the American dele gates, and four admirals who acted as advisers at London.
 He would like to hear, he said, why the United States agreed to build fewer S-inch cruisers and more G-inch cruisers than had been favored by the navy general board. His hearings, he said, would take place in May. shortly after the re- turn of inc delegation.
 WhileSthc senate alone is requir- cd to ratify treaties, the house has an equal part in the shaping of navy building plans, and Britten hopes that whatever is developed in the house hearings will have its effect at the other end of the capitol.

Papers Stress Comparison

London, April 2S R-Compari- son with the Geneva conference of 1927 and removal of Anglo-Ameri- can ship building rivalry are the points most stressed in today's edi- toriai comment on conclusion of the naval conference.
 The Daily Telegraph, after com- menting on the ill effects of the Geneva failure, today said:
 With the disappearance of con- petition in naval armaments be- tween Great Britain and the United States a friendship of incalculablo importance to the worlds peace has been set upon new and durable basis.'
 The Times said. Tt seems more than any other single factor the suc- cess of the conference has been duo to the improvement in Anglo Amer ican relations"
 The Daily Herald, labor organ, said: \
 Tt seems fantastic and yet it is a cold fact that only F months ago possibilities of an Anglo-American war were being discussed seriously"
