BY HENRY T. RUSSELL

United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Dec. 13.-(UP).-The naval conference was thrown into confusion today when Admiral Osami Nagano was understood to have revised Japan'S proposal that fleet equality be limited to the navics of the United States. Great Britain and Japan.
 The head of the Japanese dele gation was reported to have said to- day that Japan would not object to a common upper level" for the fleets of. other naval powers as well.
 Animated Discussion
 Animated discussion ensued dur ing which the British dominions, apparently in an attempt to des- credit the Japanese suggestion, ask ed whethed they also would be en- titled to fleets as strong as those of the three leading sea powers.
 The debate ended inconclusively, leaving some delegates with the inn pression that Nagano's intention had been to extend the, party principle only to France mad Italy.
 Slap At Britain
 Nagano was reported to have raised question whether the British empire was attending the confer ence as single unit, or whether the several dominions considered themselves separate units. This dis cussion was quickly quashed.
 After the spokesman for New Zealand had registered opposition to 'Japan's parity scheme, Nagano spoke proposing equality for the

AUTO ACCIDENT
 CASES DROPPED
Since Police Drive Began There Has Been Scar=
 city of Crashes

Police today pointed to the fact that the city did not have a single accident reported from early Tues day morning up to today, as they continued their drive for safety on city streets. In city court today, for the first time, a driver was sent to jail for passing a stop sign.
 Yesterday. 42 more drivers were ticketed for passing red lights or stop signs and for illegal parking. They paid a total of $72 into the city court treasury. Today again, plainclothesmen and uniformed patrolmen were on the lookout for violations of the city traffic and parking ordinances.
 Driver Goes to Jail Harry Kilmer, alias Frank Ben- jamin. 34, of 43 Chatfield avenue, was halted yesterday by Motor Pa- troiman Joseph Mccarthy for pass ing a stop sign. He had no opera tors license, and was arraigned in court on two counts. Judge John F. McGrath fined Kilmer $5 and costs on charges of passing stop sign and operating without license. The costs came to $17.50 and when Kilmer could not pay the total of $27.50, he was ordered to New Haven county jail. He must serve 28 days.
 Police are of the opinion that to the safety drive can be traced the fact that from Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock to noon today, there had not been even minor traffic acci- dent reported.
 More Drivers Punished
 Two drivers paid $5 each yesterday for passing stop signs: Nick Matty, (COntinued on Page 10.)

EMPEROR SENDS
 WORD TO LEAGUE
Will Repect Peace Plans as Proposed By France,
 Great Britain
BY WALLACE CARROLL

Copyright, 1885, by United Press)
 Geneva, Dec. 13.-(UP) -Enl- peror Halle Selassie in a telegram to the League of Nations indicated clearly today that Ethiopia never would accept the French British proposals for settlement of the Italian Ethiopian crisis. It was re- ported that the emperor scathingly criticised the scheme and asked convocation of the League Council and assembly to consider it. League officials said the telegram was not a formal reply to the French-Bri tiSh proposals, which were delivered in official form only today to the Ethiopian government at Addis Ababa. The telegram arrived as league officials distributed copies of the peace proposals to mem bers of the council, who are to consider it Wednesday.
 Situation Unclear
 Pending publication of the em- peror's telegram, it was unclear whether he rejected the proposals flatly = in advance even of their official receipt or delayed this formality under the council and as- sembly had a chance to consider it.
 Hence there was speculation whether Halle Selassie might be trying a shrewd maneuver to keep the onus of rejecting the plan from Ethiopia by having the league it. self condemn it as unjust.
 If the assembly met - with all members represented - small pow CTS not on the council could voice their anger over the peace proposals. More important, their votes are as big as those of the big powers and it is believed the plan certainly would be rejected.
 The assembly could be conyoked at any time.
 In view of the emperor's attitude. 1t is considered almost certain here

Couple Who Scorned Superstition Paid Up
Married in British Cell 13 of Old Convict Ship, Suc= cess, Nearly l2 Years Ago-Was Friday, 9th;
 Hard Luck Followed

Detroit, Dec. 13-CUP)-Exactly 111z years ago young couple who laughed at Superstitution were mar ried in cell B of the old British convict ship, success, on exhibition at Detroit's Belle Isle. The date was Friday June 13, 1924 and 13 witnesses attended the marriage ceremony of Louise and Thomas Boyce. The smiling bride carried a bouquet in one arm; a black cat in the other. The Rev. Eli J. Forsythe of the Fort street Con- gregational church began intoning the brief ceremony as the hands of the clock pointed to 13 minutes past the hour.
 The bride and groom received l3 pieces of gold as gifts. When the strange ceremony was over, each person, at the wedding broke 8 small mirror.
 Boyce and his bride soon parted. The Fort street Congregational church went out of existence. Dr. Forsythe became an Evangelist and missionary.
 Federal agents raided the Boyce home, found contraband beer on the premises. Mrs. Boyce was ar- rested; her husband served a term at Leavenworth for liquor law vio- lation.
 Then came divorce and after Boyce was released from Leaven- worth he was sent to jail for non- payment Of alimony. At one time Boyce was arrested as a suspect III 8 murder, but was released. He served 60 days in jail for an al- legged attack upon his former wife. Mrs. Boyce was arrested when she displayed a revolver while riding in a taxicab.
 Funeral services will be held to- day, Friday, December 13, for Mrs. Boyce who died after a brief ili- ness

 Auburn, Me, Dec. 13-U.P)-The taxpayer needs break, for change Wages aren't going up but taxes are and something should be done about it. I believe it can be done here in Auburn. For instance, the WPA money allocated to this city is not being spent wisely. There's lot oi money being put into the airport here and it isn't absolutely neces- sary. There's a private airport per- fectly willing to allow landings.
 Hits Park Job
 Another thing-they've been work ing on park for two years, with a skating rink that isn't necessary. Ot course want the kids to have a good time and have it right, but this is too expensive right now. There are other ways less costly to enter tain our children.
 think really useful projects can be found for these men who are working on these unnecessary pro- jects. I don't want any man to lose his job. but I want everyone to- dc his job, and a useful one.

Invites in North Carolina as a re-
suit or a new survey by the de-
partment of agriculture showing
the state has had an increase of
IS per cent in cash income re-
ceived by farmers in the last two
years, the greatest of any state in
the county the largest increases in
receipts for farm products from
1882 to 1884 were in the following
five states: North Carolina, 152 per
cent; South Carolina, IS per cent;
Georgia, 80 per cent; Alabama, 80
per cent; and Virginia, g per cent
Most of the states had increases
of around so or 40 per cent, as
compared with the 1872 per cent of
increase in North Carolina. Texas
had an increase of As per cent,
Pennsylvania was Fl per cent,
and CALIFORNIA; was FL per cent.
The government report showed
hat North Carolina farmers re-
ceived for their farm products in
1882 the sum of $S5,S46,0 900; in
1888 the amount was $780,
900; and in 1884 the income had
grown to $2o3,624,000. In rental
and payment benefits, the farmers
received $2,s4S,ooo in 1882 and
this income had grown to s12,-
$4,000 in 1884.
Farmers of the state received for
their crops, livestock and other

of $S5,S46,oo0 in 1882; s145,-.
100000 in 1888; and $216,203,-

This huge increase in income
for the farm population of North
Carolina is partially attributed to
the 100 per cent increase in to-
bacco prices and to the more fav-
orable marketing conditions for
cotton under the curtailed produc-
ton program.

|of the leading hay and pasture crops
Iof the State, says John A. Arey,
extension dairyman at State College.
1t is well adapted to the soil and
climate of North Carolina, and is
also a nutritious, milk-producing
feed of good quality.
Although the plant will grow
well in slightly acid soils, he adds,
it will do better if such soils are
ne~utralized by a moderate applica-
ton of limestone.
In total digestib1e nutrients, les
pedeza ranks slightly above alfalfa,
and in digestible protein it ranks
between red clover and alfalfa.
Tests made at the North Carolina
experiment station have shown lit
tie difference between lespedeza
and alfalfa hay as milk-producers.
Lespedeza is one Of the best le-
gumes that can be grown as a graz
ing crop, Arey states, since it pro-
duces large quantities of high quail
ty feed. 1t affords good grazing in
the late fall and summer months
when most other pasture plants are
unpalatable, and low in milk
producing value.
An abundant supply of good hay
and pasturage are necessary for
economical milk production, Arey
declares. Cows fed literally on this
feed live longer and suffer fewer
disorders than those fed
