 DISARMAMENT
Fifty Countries Will Parti- cipate in Session of
 1882
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

United Press Stan COrfeSpOnOcnt.) Washington.-With another year statesmen from all nations will be preparing to converge on some common point in Europe, there to decide whether civilization Is ready
 to lay down some Of It's arms. This will be the conference, for
 shadowed in the League of Ma tions covenent, drafted more than ten years ago. A framework-or draft treaty for disarmament-has just been completed, after five years of work. by the Preparatory Disarmament commission, on which the United States and Soviet Rus
 sio. although not league members, were represented. The draft treaty
 contains no figures. save those for
 naval reduction already agreed on
 at Washington and London. Other
 wise, 1t only outlines methods of
 disarmament. It Is a skeleton on
 which the conference will work. A date for this world disarma-
 ment conference will be set by
 the League of Nations Council this
 month. Officials here believe the
 meeting will be called around Feb
 ruary. 1892.
 Unique Conference.
 The coming conference will be
 both unique and epochal. It will
 mark the first time in history that the entire world-compOsing more than fifty nations = has gathered
 even to consider laying down its arms.
 Success, statesmen hold. will of- fer some hopse of enduring peace. Pickering, dissent, failure will en-
 courage the gods of war. And as
 1t Is automatic in international cir
 cles that successful conferences must be built on tedious prepara-
 ton, the state department and
 other foreign offices, during this
 year. will try. by diplomatic con- gerous problems In advance.
 Already Ambassador Hugh Gib-
 son, veteran. of many international conferences. has received instruc- tions from this government to CO., operate with France and Italy to clear up their naval deadlock. Aside from solving such special
 ized problems. the success of the
 coming conference. statesmen be- lieve, will depend largely on the
 will of the people to disarm. Gib-
 son emphasized this thought in a speech near the end of the Geneva conference.
 Recently the Carnegie Endow- ment for International Peace caleld on the United States and her for
 mer allies to disarm. It pointed out that Germany was promised that the other nations would lay
 aside some of their guns as they required her to do. Reduction of
 armament, said statement by the
 Endowment's officers-Elihu Root,
 Nicholas Murray Butler, and oth- ers--is an Imperative obligation" Meanwhile the Women's Inter-
 national League for Peace and
 Freedom is seeking, in many lands. for signatures to a disarmment peti- tion. According to the league, 100000 persons In Great Britain al-
 ready have signed 1t. Many sign CTS, including the German visitor.
 Albert Einstein, have been found
 here. the league said.

Judge Orders
 Fine Remittance

On plea of Attorney Henry J.. Freeman, Judge Harry J. Beardsley this morning granted remittance of the fine imposed last June upon Mary Boyarchuk of Beacon Falls on charges of violatiog the liquor law. Attorney Freeman made his plea in the common pleas court on the grounds that the accused has since become a widow and her family of four children are dependent upon her for support.
 A fine of $1O0 and costs was me- ted out to Mrs Boyarchuk when she appeared before Judge Beardsley at the June criminal term. She was placed on probation and ordered to pay the fine in weekly miscellaneous. Attorney Freeman pointed out that his client had paid almost $1O0 but could not possibly pay more. He explained he'd oldest son had been laid off from his work and that she herself had been out of employment for some time.
 Judge Beardsley granted the re- quest after first receiving the assur- ance that Mrs Boyarchuk had learn ed her lesson and promised not to become associated with liquor deal- ing again. Prosecuting Attorney William J. Larkin, Jr.. had no ob- jections to the granting of the re- mittance.
 The case of Adolph Ambrose charged with assault and breach o1 the peace, was continued until the April term of the court.

Profuse Floral Tributes Mark
 Burial To-day
President John Heydler of National League and New York Police Department Send Flowers Services at St Margarefs Followed By Burial in Old St JOseph's Cemetery

Roger Connor. Waterbury's great est contribution to the national pas time, baseball. was laid at rest to- day in old St Joseph's cemetery, be- side the remains of his parents. who were among the pioneer and highly respected Irish residents of this city. Among the scores. who thr0ng- ed St Margaret's church for the obsequies were intimate friends of ''the Babe Ruth of the 80's.' who played ball with him on local sand lots and who followed his brilliant playing throughout a career that forms many interesting chapters in the history of baseball.
 From John Heydler, president of the National league, from the New York Giants, baseball club and from the New York police department came floral tributes, forget-me-nots for an idol that stirred the enthusi- asm and fired the fancy of fans a half century ago. The game has produced many 8 bright star since Roger Connor's mighty bat smashed thrilling home runs over the fences of New York, Philadelphia and St Louis baseball parks. Hundreds have climbed the peak to fame and suc- cess and have fallen by the wayside. but the lustre that was linked with the name and exploits of the mighty Roger was never dimmed, but throughout the passing years seem to glow with greater brightness from fires of true friendship.
 The tributes paid to-day indicated that Roger Connor's bid for fame in the baseball world was no weak gesture. The New York police de- partment burdened with its hundred and one troubles and business af- fairs showed that 1t had not for gotten its baseball idol of fifty years ago. And numbered among the hundreds to-day who attended the funeral were several who could picture in words the Roger Connor of the old Monitor ball club of Wa terbury as effectively as sports writ CTS have described the famous Roger of the New York Giants. whose home ru, hits are talked of wherever base ball players or fans meet and ex- change views.
 The death of Roger Connor. Mon- day morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs James Colwell. 2l5 Willow street, was news of national importance to the sporting frateT- nity. The announcement was featur- ed on sporting pages throughout the country and has precipitated a flood o. reminiscent stories, which lead inevitably to the comparison of Roger Connor of the 80 and Babe Ruth of the present.

Brennan, pastor. 'of- f,ciated as celebrant; Rev Peter Daily acted as deacon and Rev James Donaher, sub-deacon. Within the sanctuary rail were Rev James But Ter and Rev John Mccarthy of this city.

RUM-RUNNINC
 IS CUT DOWN Detroit Survey Shows De- crease in Over River Traffic

Detroit--(UP)-T Canadian ban on exports or liquor to the United States has decreased rum-running in the Detroit district and cut bootleg ging here by 75 per cent, a recent survey by the Detroit News showed.
 The News said the smuggling of liquor across the Detroit river and the business done by blind pigs here have been decreased ito 25 per cent of the amount done before the ex- port ban became effective.
 The ban has resulted in a change in smuggling tactics, the newspaper said.
 The News survey was based on the amount of liquor seized, as this figure has been shown to bear di- rect relation to the amount of liquor exported from Canada. Since the ban. the export figures, of course. have not been available but 1t was as- stunned that the relation continued.
 Freight Car Shipments
 Within the last two months four freight cars of liquor billed from southern and eastern points to ficti- tious addresses in this district have been seized by federal agents. For merly about one freight shipment a year was intercepted.
 Thomas H. Brennan, deputy pro- hibition administrator for the district cited the type of captures being made by federal agents as indicative of the decrease in rum-running.
 we used to knock off whole truck loads," he said. "Now we get a few cases in the back seat of Q passenger car. Blind pigs where we used to find several cases of whis- key now have only couple of bot ties or a jug or two."
 William N. Woodruff, prohibition administrator for the sixth district including the Michigan border, said his records showed that there has been a shift of liquor shipments. Some is coming across the river, no doubt. But much more is coming from the East. There also have been some shipments from the South. by train and truck. but not a great deal. Most of the southern liquor that comes up this way goes to Chi cago."
 The "speakeasy" situation in De- troit has been somewhat modified since the News survey was com pleted, because of the ban issued by Mayor Frank Murphy against "tip-- over" raids. Formerly police used to gain entrance to a liquor estab- lishment, smash the furniture and dump the stock. After couple of "tipovers" the operator of the blind pig either went out of business or transferred, his esta blishment, with out any necessity of court action. Now the police must gain evidence sufficient to stand up in a jury trial before an establishment acn be per- manently closed.

MINERS REVERSE
 USUAL SYSTEM

Shamokin, Pa. - (UP)-Miners climb a mountain to secure anthra- cite in the Scotch Valley mine of Beaver Township. Columbia county, reversing the usual procedure which sends men down into the interior of the earth for hundreds of feet to rob nature of its hard coal treas ures.
 The Scotch Valley mine tunnel is situated at the top of the moun- tain with the breaker right below the mouth of the open end tunnel.
 It is the only anthracite mine at which hoisting machinery is neither used nor necessary. The cars loaded with coal are run out on slight grade from the tun- nel to the breaker platform below the opening. Mules are used to pull the empties back.
 The mine Is also one of the very few in the anthracite section that is naturally ventilated. The tun- nel in which the coal Is mined Is open at both ends with just enough slope to provide for drainage.

Even though there seems to be some doubt about it. there are still in existence cowboys, cattle and ranches in the west. This was stated at the meeting of the Kiwanis club at the Elton to-day by Howard F. Tracy, of this city, who works on a ranch in the summer and lives in Waterbury in the winter. "I worked on a ranch in the southern part of Montana, leased from the Crow Indian reservation" he said.
