that the conference for a moment was
startled.
The Russian member presented the
oefnltlon in the course of a criticism
OF the French disarmament plan.
Adoption Proposed.
He proposed his resolution including
the deflnlIlon Of an aggreSsor for adop-
ton by the general commission.
That nation should be branded an
aggressor, said the resolution, which
declares war against another state; in
vades another state without declaring
war; bombards the territory of an
other state; or establishes a naval
blockade Of another state.
No consideration of a political, stra-
teglcal or economic nature shall justify
aggression, said M Litvinoff, and an
attack cannot be justified by "the in
ternal situation in the given state, as
Tor instance political, economic or cul-
tural backwardness, alleged maladmin-
strat1on, possible danger to life or
property of foreign residents, revolu-
tlonary or counter-revolution move
ments, civil war, disorders or strikes,
or the establishment or maintenance
IN any given state of any political, eco
nomic or social order"
Second Surprise.
These proposals, said the Russian
delegate, constitute logical extension
of the French disarmament plan and
are not hostile to it. The Russian
government, he said, believes that this
scheme would contribute to the solu-
tion Of the security problem.
When he had finished there was an
other surprise Count Rassinsky, the
Polish spokesman, admitted that the
French plan had little chance for
adoption. Then he proposed the draft
ing OF convention embodying the re-
suits thus far attained, much after the
fashion OF the proposal advanced last
December by Norman Davis, the Ameri-
can representative.

FURNACE DELAYS
BOYER'S HEARING
Grand Jury Action Expected
to DispIace Arraignment
of Former Cashier.

With a FeSeral investigation Of an
announced shortage of sl30.000 in the
accounts Of Charles D. Boyer, former
cashier Of the Federal-American Ma
tional Bank, nearing completion, prepa-
rations were being made today for
early presentation Of the evidence to the
District grand jury.
In view Of the impending grand Jury
proceedings, it was decided today to
postpone indefinitely scheduled hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Needham c. Turnage.
Boyer Is at liberty under S25, 900 bond
on Federal charge of embezzlement.
He was arrested by Federal agenst al
his home on Glebe road In nearby Vir-
ginia after bank officials had notified
the United States Bureau of Investiga-
ton that Boyer had confessed to the
shortage, blaming the losses on stock
market operations.
When arraigned before commissioner
Iurnage on January = Boyer entered
plea Of not guilty and formal hear
ing before the commissioner was set

continued at that time. 1t now appears
the hearing will be displaced by the

MINE TRUCE ENDS;
future UNCERTAIN
Illinois Governor Assures
Steps Will Be Taken to
Prevent Violence.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, February 6.-The
short-lived truce ended, residents OF
Illinois coal fields today anxiously spec
rlated as to whether the future would
bring war or neutrality between miners
unions.
Hostilities ended four weeks ago, when
Gov. Henry Horner called leaders of
the United Mine Workers and Pro-
gressive unionists, at loggerheads over
wage contracts, into conference to set
tie their differences.
Termination of the parley Saturday
paved the way for possible resumption
of disputes out of which violence has
sporadically flared during the last seven
months.
Precautions to Be Taken.
Citizens had assurance from Gov.
Horner, however, that every precaution
would be taken to prevent Christian
County from regaining its status as the
battle ground of the trouble zone. He
said the State Militia would continue
to be stationed there and that, if neces-
sary, their forces would be augmented
Inf1ammatory agitation, he warned,
Eoulo ue considered violation of public
peace and promptly stamped out.
That there would be resumption of
picketing on the part of the Progressive
miners was predicted by Claude Pearcy,
president of the Progressive Union. He
said cessation of the peace negotiations
automatically restored the prerogative
Of picketing.
Several Persons Clubbed.
Less than day after the peace par
ley terminated West Frankfort was the
scene of dispute between county au-
thoritieS and miners, who, they said,
were members of the Progressives. Dep
uty sheriffS halted an attempt by the
WomenS Auxiliary of the Progressive
Union to hold a meeting at a hall
there. During a scuff1e between the
officials and miners who accompanied
members of the auxiliary several per-
sons were clubbed
The women moved to nearby Buckner
and proceeded with their meeting with
out interference.

EAST CONCORD, VT, February g.
John Boutwell,, r. bleeding, barefoot
and attired in only a nightgown, sped
out of the foothills on a sled before
dawn yesterday TO summon rescuers to
his burning home and save the lives
of mis- mother, father and a brother.
Awakened by cracking flames, the
boy opened his bed room door to en-
counter a wall or fire He dropped
two stories from a window to the
ground, receiving severe cuts on the
hands and face, then leaped on his
sled and coasted a mile and a half
into the village. 1t was ten above
zero.
Garage attendants looked aghast at
the excited courier who raped at the
door. They called out the volunteer
fire fighters and hurried to the home
to find that John was not the Only
hero in the Boutwell, family. His Is
year-old sister, Edna had carried three
younger sisters from the burning struc-
ture and had her hair burned off in
doing so.
The parents and another boy still
were trapped in the upper part Of the
house. The flremen brought them to
safety but the home and its furnish
ings were destroyed.

Black that Harris brother knew too
much about the rings operations and

was Of the same opinion and demanded

CROP PRODUCTION
LOAN NP[ANS RUSHED
Distribution of $4,000, 900
VIII Begin by March /,
Hyde Announces.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSS.
The Department of Agriculture an
nounced today that disbursements of
money to farmers. under the s900o0,-
900 crop production loan bill signed
Saturday by President Hoover will be-
gin before March l.
Secretary Hyde expects to approve
regulations to govern the loans before
the end of this week and instructions
will then be issued for executives in the
regional offices at Dallas, st. Louis,
Memphis, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City
and Washington.
Cut in Maximum Studied.
A reduction of the maximum loans
to individual farmers from s4OO. as
was allowed in 1882, to $500 this year.
Is being considered because of the in
crease in applications expected. The
bill authorized the Secretary to require
acreage reduction up to 80 per cent as
loan condition and the department
expects to require the full reduction
except in the case of minor acreages.
An increase of about third in the
number OF loans over last year is looked
for. The department is having 80 per
cent more application forms printed
than were used in 1882 when S64,-
100000 was disbursed
Law Changes Urged.
Requests for changes in legislation
in some States to make farmers within
their borders eligible for loans are
being made by the department through
members of Congress The law re-
quireS that the loan shall be the first
lien on the crop produced this year.
In the case of Pennsylvania, a law
was enacted year ago effective for
one year legalizing crop mortgages. A
similar law is considered necessary to
cover loans this year. Some changes
in Connecticut laws also are believed
necessary.
Whether the department shall make
loans to farmers who have not repaid
their borrowings under similar loan acts
in past years has not yet been decided.

MIAMI, Fla, February 6.-Demo-
cratic party workers were convergine
on this temporary headquarters today
as James A. Farley, national chairman
and other leaders studied a patron
age distribution plan for the attention
of President-elect Roosevelt.
Apparently sensing the approach oi
office seekers, the Democratic chief
tains passed the word last night that
high pressure campaigns for jobs
would be futile-that merit and party
service were to be the tests 1t also
became known that protests have. been
received from senatorial sources against
the inclusion of too many Senators In
the Roosevelt cabinet.
Catches No Fish.
But just what President-elect Roose-
velt's ideas are about this is problem
atical. He was anchored last night
under Stirrup Cay in the Bahama Is
lands group after an apparently un-
successful first attempt at fishing on
his yachting cruise. He planned an
other fishing trip today after visiting
Nassau to get a fish pilot and bait.
Vincent Astor, owner and captain of
the Roosevelt yacht, messaged this in
formation in to Marvin H. Mcintyre,
secretary to the President-elect, late
yesterday. His radio to the Fort
Lauderdale Coast Guard station read
Anchored under Stirrup Cay. Ex-
pect to go fishing" 1t was timed 4:30
pm.
New arrivals here include Arthur
Mullen. national committeeman for
Nebraska; A. A. Julian, national COM
mitteeman for Ohio, and Henry Brun-
ner, Ohio State chairman.
Mentioned as Ambassador.
The name of Julian has been promi-
nently mentioned as Ambassador to
Belgium. 1t was expected that Brun-
ner would support the cause of Julian,
whatever it may be-
Two names also are prominently men,
toned here for the office of commits
sioner of internal revenue-Robert Gore
of Chicago and william H. Howes, ma
tional committeeman for South Dakota.

ers meeting here for the week
Despite an apparent race among
prospective off1ceholders, genial Jim
Farley, the national boss, who has the
official title of master of ceremonies
from Mr.. Roosevelt, Is listening and
planning, but saying nothing.
The protest against inclusion of too
many Senate leaders in the Roosevelt
cabinet is understood to include an OBJ
lection from the veteran Senator Norris
of Nebraska, Republican independent
leader and enthusiastic Roosevelt sup
porter, who Is known to be anxious to
conserve the Roosevelt strength in the
Senate
Senator Cutting. Republican inde-
pendent, of New Mexico; Senator Glass
OF Virginia, Walsh of Montana and Hull
OF Tennessee are others prominently
regarded by Roosevelt for the cabinet.
However, the President-elect is safely
at sea, and apparently he is going to
listen for another three weeks before

producer by emergency legislation en-
tirsly independent of the farm parity"
bill was disclosed today as hearings on

Carolina, under which producers would
buy part of their crop on Government
cre51t at the present depressed price,
cutting their production proportion
ately.
See Good Chance.
Proponents of this measure feel it
would have good chance of President
Hoover's approval and that the farm
parity" bill applying to cotton, wheat
and other products would be sure to be
vetoed by him if it passed.
Strong opposition to the parity bills
application to cotton was expressed at
the closing hearings by Charles D.
Owen, treasurer of the Beacon Manu-
featuring Co., New Bedford, Mass, and
Julius w. Cone, Greensboro, N. c., cot
ton manufacturer.
