CHILDREN GAINING;
FUNDS ABOUT GONE

Mrs. G.. c. Richardson, presi-
dent of the Junior Welfare club,
said today that since the nutri-
ton units had been opened at
the two schools auxiliary food had
been served continuously during
school days to 90 children. These
children, she said, with a single
exception had all gained in
weight, their increases ranging
from seven to ten pounds each.
The child who did not gain weight
had been away from school a
portion of the time, because of
illness.
|. The club has enough money,
Mrs. Richardson said,a to operate
until Christmas, but the funds
on hand at this time will be ex-
hausted when school reopens
and the benefit dance above re-
ferred to, will be the first maj or
step made to create funds with
which to continue this work after
the first of the year. "

Federal Judge
Flags Jurymen In
Louisiana Trial
Tells Them Desperadoes
Walk Out Freed, Ready
to Kill Officers

BATON ROUGE. La. Dec. II.
(UP)-U. s. Judge Alexander
Alderman yesterday accused six
members of a deadlocked jury
with having Interior motives, and
told them: 1.-TWO men walked out
of this courtroom yesterday as
guilty. as hell.
"They came in here and march
ed out. desperadoes. ready to kill
an officer of the law, and with
the approval of the jury"
Vincent and Joseph Granada
were acquitted Monday of moon
shining charges. They were charg-
ed yesterday, however, with "con-
spring to injure, oppress, threat
en- and intimidate" one Max
Boatner, witness at their trial,
and Boatner himself was charged
with perjury. Boatner was alleged
to have changed his testimony.
Judge Alderman kept his peace
on receiving the Granada verdict,
but yesterday when a new jury
was deadlocked over its verdict
on Doherty Watkins, charged
with possessing untaxed liquor,
the Judge exploded:
"No community ever rose
above its jury box I care no
thing for corruption in office. The
time for those office holders will
run cut. But the iuries will re-
main. I do not see how any man
can have any reasonable double
in his mind in this case. Evident
ly those six jurors who stood for
acquittal were influenced by
some Interior and improper mo-
tive"

clared mistrial. - -a@'.,

|NAVYPROCRAM
Would Reduce Three Great
Navies to Lowest Pos
sible Strength

LONDON. Dec. II. (UP).-Ja-
pan, demanding naval equity with
Great Britain and the United
States, today suggested at the
fve-power naval conference that
the three navies be reduced to the
lowest possible level entailing the
scrapping of worships. A Japa-
nese statesman told. the confer
ence that he is urging parity only
on a tonnage basis.
LONDON, Dec. II. (UP)-Ad-
miral Osami Nagano, chief Japa-
nese delegate to the fve-power
Naval Limitations Conference,
last night rejected shadow par
ity" with Great Britain and the
United States.
He demanded real, ship-for-
ship parity and not merely sop
to Japan's pride. The reaction
was prompted by a series OF ques-
tons submitted to Nagano by
Viscount Eyes-Monsell, first lord
of the British Admiralty.
Eyres-Monsell asked if Japan
would make "gentleman's
agreement" not to build up to
full strength if granted paper
equality.
Japen is unwilling also to
build up to equality over 10 or
Is year period because that
would prolong the distasteful B.
$50 ratio system, the Admiral
added. Japan is determined to
build up to parity with the U. s.
and Britain cat an early stage.
Nagano intends to reply, prob
ably today, to Eyres-MonselPs
questions. The Britisher asked:
Il. What level of strength
does Japan propose if the ton.
mage of the big power navies shall
&c equalized?
2. For what duration does
Japan envisage such an equality
arrangement?
g If Japan's right to parity
IS recognized in principle, will
Ianan consent to a Gentleman's
agreement not to build to the
f9ll strength allowed her?
,Viscount Eyres Monsell re-
onested Admiral Nagano to re-
NV to those questions at "ednes-
Ssv,s meeting. The Japanese re-
nortedly communicated both ques-
lions and Nagano's proposed ans
wer TO Tokyo for approval. :.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. H.
(UP).-Collapse of world silver
markets today brought fears
here that this nations pros
perity, built up in 1885 by sill

Mexico is the largest silver
producing nation in the world
and her economics are closely

values.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II. (UP)
Desire of the United States to
prevent disruption of foreign
money centers was given last
night as the probable principal
reason for the treasury's sudden
withdrawal, from the world silver
markets.
Although they would not dis
cuss the situation fully, Treasury
officials promptly, asserted that
they intended to carry out the
mandate of the silver purchasing
act which calls for eventual in
crease in Government silver hold
ings to a third the value of gold
stocks.
This was interpreted as mean
ing that Tuesdays withdrawal
was a temporary move only. The
withdrawal forced the London
silver market into suspension and
plunged stock markets into gen.
eral unsettlement pending clafi-
fication Of the treasury's program.
Lessening of fears over an i'm
pending European war probably
brought the move. 1t was pointed
out that the treasury's silver pur-
chasing program could not be
continued without causing an un-
desired sharp advance in the price
of the pound sterling.
1t was reported that British
Amemican officials were in agree
ment in their desire to maintain
the dollar-pound ratio at the pres
ent figure of $4.35 to the pound.

RENO, New, Dec. II. (UP).-
The London silver market is in a
panic.
Trading has been suspended.
Twenty million ounces of silver
are on the market with no buyers.
The British say this silver comes
from the Orient.
Well, what difference does that
make? -
What's 20,O0O,0O0 ounces of sill
yer in the Orient when conserva-
tive estimates say there are two
billion ounces of silver in the

never come out and never will
come out.
POINTS TO BRITISH
ANTI.U. S. PROPAGANDA
Why is the British press in
China and in London carrying on
tremendous propaganda that the
United States silver policy would
ruin China?
Why did Leith Ross, financial
adviser to Great Britain, go to
China to advise the National gov
eminent of China to go on a man
aged currency, tied to the pound
sterling, for the purposes of sta
bilization?
1t seems evident that Great Bri-
tain is DESTROYS of forcing China
and other countries into the pound
sterling group so she can control
the exchange of those countries,
and through the control of ex-
change, control imports and ex-
ports, as she is doing in Argen-
tina.
NoBoDY'S BUSINESS
WHAT u. S. WILL DO
Now certain governments and
certain banking institutions and
spectators in those foreign coun-
tries desire to know what our gov
eminent is going to do. It's none
of their business. They never tell
us what they are going to do.
Great Britain, with its equaliza-
ton fund, manipulated our dollar.
We took a larger stack of chips
and every time they attempted to
raise our dollar, we raised their
pound sterling. It's a great game
of poker in which the kitty wins
and the public loses.
There is no government in the
world that can stand this asinine
policy as we'll as the government
of the United States.
We desire sterilization, but we
refuse to accept dictation from
