SOCIALISTS WILL BE FROZEN QUIT

Democratic, Republican Alliance RumOred to

By WILLIAM P. CLARK

Hartford, Conn, Dec 6-UP)- Republican and democratic leaders have consummated deal" to freeze out socialist opposition in the state senate in the 1885 session to iudgeships and county commits sioner appointments, the United Press was reliably informed today.
 The arrangement is an echo of the famous -'deal' in the last gen. eral assembly which brought bit- ter comment from Governor Wilbur L. Cross after three democrats de- serted their party majority and sided with republicans to indorse a full slate of more than 150 nom- nations.
 A conference was held last week it was learned from a party leader, to which the governor was not ln- vited.
 "The feeling of both parties is that we must look out for the or ganizations', he said.
 The arrangement, by which the appointments will be swapped back and forth, will, leave the governor helpless to interfere and entirely ignore the three socialist members who were regarded as holding the whip hand in the upper branch.
 The membership of the senate Is 17 democrats, IS republicans and 8 socialists, the latter being seated for the first time in the states his- tory.
 Both parties realize that tho overwhelming republican majority in the house is necessary to ap- prove all appointments of judges and county commissioners" the in dormant said. And, both parties have a feeling that Governor Cross will not again be a candidate for governor in 1886"
 Important legislation concerning unemployment. relief. liquor and milk law changes, birth control and old age pension will be on the calendar after the session opens January z. t9ls ,,

MISLEADING REMARK
 IS ALSO REVEALED
Remington Arms Co. Ofi= cial Admits to Untruth
 in Letter

Washington, December 6 - (UP)) v The senate mu- nitions Investigating commit tee today challenged former President Hoover's explana- tion that a munitions manu- f a c turers' conference in Washington in 1925 was called at the request of the State Department. The ses- sion was marked by a clash between Senator Bennett Clarke and Irenee Du Pont.
 Stephen Raushenbusch, chief committee investigator, testified under guidance of Senator Clark. that he found no suggestion in State Department files he exam ined that the conference was at the suggestion of the secretary of state. The conference was held when MT Hoover was secretary Of commerce.
 Developments Today
 - An admittedly misleading statement regarding high officials of the American government and made by an officer of the Rem- ington Arms Company for sales promotion purposes in Soutn America was revealed.
 2. Irenee Du Pont was rebuked by Senator Clark for breaking into the testimony. "Let me tactfully and as gracefully as possible dis abuse your mind that you are run ming this investigation" Clark said.
 Sold to Two Countries
 3. Evidence was brought out that the Remington Arm company, a Du Pont company, sold munitions to both Bolivia and Paraguay dur ing the Chaco fighting.
 4. During the luncheon recess Senator James P. Pope, D, Ida, said that testimony would be intro duced subsequently to show how representatives of munitions mak- CTS attempted to block various em- bargo actions and even the Nye resolution authorizing the present inquiry. The committee schedule calls for reaching this phase next week.
 Tn. sales promotion statement, q letter by Frank J. Monaghan Remington. export manager, va! introduced after the Du Pont re- buke.
 Letter Not Truthful
 Monaghan admitted that a letter he wrote Jan 4, 1888, to his repre- sentative in Santiago, Chile, was not a truthful one.
 The letter said he had reached high officials of the United States government and that he was thoroughly satisfied" there would be no American embargo action to interfere with sales of cartridges Tn South America. The letter was to J. H. Spencer at Santiago.
 Phrase Was Wrong
 "That phrase mighty high off, cials' was wrong." Monaghan said Tt was misleading and didn't in tend it that way"
 Washington. Dec 6-(UP)- Senate investigators disclosed to- day that the Du Pont controlled Remington Arms company sold am- intuition to both Bolivia and Paraguay in 1893 and 1894 during the Gran Chaco hostilities.
 Clark said that since the Sep tember hearings the committee had

NAVY BUILDING
 RACE IMMINENT
U. s. Hurls Defy at Japan on Parity Question
 To-day
BY HOBART c. MONTEE Limited Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, Dec 6.-CUP)-The United States served notice to-day that this country will not agree to Japan's demand for naval parity.
 If Japan persists in her deter imitation to abrcgate the Washing ton and London naval limitation treaties, she may expect free-for- all- naval construction race. with the strong implication that the United States can and will out-strip her in building warships.
 Japan proposes total abolition oi aircraft carriers and capital ships aggregating 70.000 tons and 250,0O0 tons respectively" Saito said. "She is prepared to strike off half of the navy standing at S00.00O tons ii the United States and the Britisl, empire will follow suit.'
 The pronouncement of American naval policy was laid down in Lon- don by Norman H. Davis, chief American delegate to the naval converse tions there. He spoke al a luncheon rendered by the Asso- citation of American Correspond ents. It was the first announcement of American naval policy made since the three-power conversa- tions started.
 Although Davis spoke informally and on his own responsibility there was little doubt that his re- marks had the full approval of S4- cretary of State Cordell Hull and presumably, President Roosevelt.
 It was evident also that his re- marks were directed at Japan. He took occasion to answer specifical- ly the principal arguments of the Japanese.
 The American naval position is based squarely upon the Washing ton and London naval treaties Davis said. These treaties provide for equality of security" Not exact equality of ornaments. Nc other basis for an agreement for naval limitation would be satisfac. tory to the United States, he in- dicated.
 The United States and Great Bri- tain have emphasized throughout the naval conversations in London fCnnfiunaA An pa0a

Shortly before the fire was con- trOlled, authorities had described it as worse than fire which swept the same area in 1880, causing $1,000,000 loss.
 Starting, apparently from spon- taneouss combustion, in the New England Grain company building, the flames raced through nearby factories and lumber yards.
 Besides the Grain company buiId- ing, other structures destroyed or damaged included those of the General Litherage company, the Grand Lumber company, the Ru- fus Deering Lumber company, the Brown company and the Portland Hardware company, formerly oC- cupied by the Diamond Match Co.
 From Commercial street, center . of the blaze, emhers were carried five miles by the brisk breeze. Had the wind been in another direction, authorities said, conflagration might have resulted.
 Fire Boats Aid
 Fire boats cooperated with land firemen in battling the flames.
 The Lighter Atlas, moored In the harbor. and the yacht Coronet. nearby, were both severely dam aged.
 Two employees of Thea R. Wright Coal Company. one suffering from exhaustion, the other from burns, were taken to a hospital. These men, John Shaw and Charles Peab- bles. had gone out in small boat with two fellow, workers. Arthur Fox and Robert Paige, to rescue the keeper, his wife and three guests who were trapped aboard the coronet.'
 During the rescue Shaw and Peables fell overheard, but were hauled back o safety. Those aboard the Coronet. all uninjured. were brought ashore.
 R. R. Wharf Damaged
 4 section of the Boston and Maine Railroad wharf was severely daroaged.
 The flames also spread to 10 freight cars on a siding. and sey- eral tugs and scows were menaced.
 At mid-afternoon the fire was still smouldering. but fire officials believed all danger was past.

 INTERVENTION

New York, December 6-(UPl U. S. Government intervention in Mexico's church controversy was opposed by the Rev John ". O'Hara, president of Notre Dame University.

Acknowledged at Post Onice

Acknowledged at Post Office
 They were acknowledged at the Hartford postoffice registry by Mir Stacy, in charge of that depart- ment, and left the postoffice in As locked mail pouch, No. 4029, rotary number 62.
 The pouch was delivered to the paymaster here, Stephen J. Seden- sky, at 8:30 o'clock this morning. Sedensky discovered the theft when he took the pouch to his office and notified H. D. Puter EZRA payroll supervisor at Hartford.
 Two large envelopes containing the checks had been slit open, the checks removed and a piece of ad- hesive tissue, bearing the name Doyle" placed over the cuts.
 Banks Are Notified
 The checks had been mailed from the state comptroller's of fee. All Hartford and Bridgeport banks were notified to refuse pay- ment on all state checks as of Dec.
 There were 52 payrolls rep- resented in the two envelopes.
 Stacy said he signed for the en- velopes, testifying that they had not been tempered with before he received them.
 Inspectors Start Probe
 Postal inspectors opened an in- vestigation, tracing the handling of the pouch from the time 1t left the Hartford postofflce until it was re- ceived by Sedensky. Nothing was learned immediately.
 It was believed only the larger checks had been selected from the envelopes. Authorities believed some one familiar with the routine of handling the checks was respon- sible for the theft.
