TODAY IN SOCIETY
BY MAY BIRKHEAD.
,We ma y soon expect to see a heavy
drift of travel to Algiers. Elaborate pre-
parations are going forward to fête the
hundredth anniversary of the taking of the
, sity. The capture 'Of this Barbary State
was no light undertaking. The Emperor
. Charles V had tried it in 1541, and failed.
5 For several centuries, the Algerian or Bar-
1 bary pirates were the scourge of the Me-
diterranean. They had the pleasant cus-
tom ,of holding prisoners for ransom. One
of the most illustrious was Cervantes. The
futute author of Don Quixote languished
in p'risoh there for several years. The
European powers, instead of stamping out
these déprédations, paid a tribute often
inc!uding war vessels which served to
' strengthen the pirates. Président Jef-
ferson sent some of the ablest officers of
' the American navy against them, but
' without in'fticting more than a temporary
check. Even the expédition head-ed by
Commodore Stephen Decatur, who eni.er-
ed Algiers in 1815, onJy succeeded in
, a.bating temporarily this nuisance. It was ;
not until 1829 that the French Govern- ,
ment finally raised a formidable force ;
which bombarded and took possession of (
Algiers on Ju!y 5, 1830.
"The commémoration of the hundredth
anniversary of ! this event is not only
. arousing great interest in France, but will
attract tourists fr'om many other coun-
tjSes. Algeria, Tunis and Morocco, form-
jgg an important part of the great French
colonial empire, are worthy of a visit for
many reasons. ' Arrangements are now
being made to. construct a large number
of bungalows to supplement the hotel
accommodations at Algiers. This whole
région' is famous for its climate and the
d'iv-ersity and splendor of its landscape;
afid it is figured that, during 193o, an
m.ormous number of tourists will visit
thèse French possessions in Northern
Âfrica, which, in addition to their claims
m health and beauty, bave their pictur-
Mque Mo!hamsi,edan population and their
markable relics of the Roman occupa-
tion.
Ltvrd Rosebery once remarked, "Dukes
■ art not to be criticized, but merely con-
templ'ated:" Some people think this also
aipplies to actors. Be that as it may, the

ying London with milk, acquired,

of this land, which runs to several hun-
çjred. acres, makes the Duke of Westmins-

Shearer Renewing
His Big Navy Boom
As Capital Squirms
Admiral Fiske Backs
Man Who Wrecked
Geneva Meet
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—William B.
Shearer, self styled "bass drum" at the
abortive Geneva Naval Conférence, has
sprung into prominence again with an
announcement that he will renew his
boom for a big navy at a mass meeting
Sunday night, just before the departure
of the American deieg'ation to the Lon-
don Conference on Naval Disarmament.
Shearer will "unmask the increa.se'
during the last ten years against Amer-
ican sea power" at the meeting. No
sooner had he begun beating his drum
again than he drew support from Ad-
mirai Bradley Fiske, who answered his
innouncement with promises of sup-
port.
The renewal of activity by the pro-
pagandist who claimed credit for wreck-
ir.g the Geneva Conférence has proved
exceedingiy embarrassing to &lome
croups in Washington, particularly those
tvho are prepared to see the American
lelegation off with high hop&e of sharp
'educUons in naval armaments.

SUICIDE INSURANCE
FOR BUSINESS MAN
LATEST SAFEGUARD
$30,000 Bond Is Taken
To Protect Loan
From Bank
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Suicide insur-
ance is the latest safeguard for the
American businessman.
What is believed to be the first surety
bond of that kind was issued today by
the National Surety Company of New
Y ork.
The policy consists- of a $30,000 bond
and irisures a New York chemical-manu-
facturer, whose name is withheld,'
against suicide within the next two
years. In seeking a loan on hiis busi-
ness success which depends largely on
the manufacturer's own effort, he- found
that his bankers demanded life insur-
ance to cover them against Ioss.
Death by suicide within the prescrib-
ed time would, however, nullify the in-
surance policy. Tbe manufacturer
the refore thought of a spécial policy
with a suicide clause.
As suicides in the United States are
more numerous than in any other coun-
try, suicide policies are liable to become
popular.
Marie Jose Sheds A Tear As She Waves
Farewell In Flower Filled Rome Train
BY ANNE SOMER HOUSE.
(Tribune Press Service)
BRUSSELS, Jan. 3.—Princess Marie
José waved Au revoir with both hands
from the window of the royal train at
the Brussels North Station as two
locomotives slowly started their wlieels
turning to take her to Rome, where on
Jan. 8 she will become the bride of
Prince Umberto, heir to the throne of
Italy.
Pressing a little lace handkerchief to
her eyes, Marie José was visibly deeply
stirred as she stood there in the pale
green and gold parlor of the luxurious
Italian train. Her face, framed oy
blonde curls under her tight fitting-
beige and brown hat, was pale, and at
one moment she seemed to shiver, draw-
lng her long mink coat doser over her
beige silk frock.
King Albert and Queen Elizabetli, her
parents1, stood back of the Princess and
at her aide were her brothers, Crown
Prince Leopold and Prince Charles and
her sister-in-law, Princess Astrid.
Flowers that had corne with the Italian
royal train from Rome filled the air
with a strong scent, and à riot of flar,,,:
of both dynasties decorated the station.
About 20,000 crowded in front of the
station and 2,000 of the privileged wer..
inside, ail roaring Vive la Princesse!
Some women cried. Others held their
children up to have a last look at th..
departing Princess. Camera men pushed
each other and some of them findin?

Ferry, With 200 Aboard, Sinks Tug
Then Runs Into Breakwater In Fog
Near Panic Occurs But
No Lives Are Lost
By Mishap
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Lost in a dense
fog with nearly 200 passengers crowding
her decks, the Municipal Ferryboat Wil-.
liam Randolph Hearst rammed and sank
the tugboat Mutual anchored off the
Erie Bas in breakwater late today.
Creeping blindly along more than a
mile off her course, the Hearst rammed
the tug and crushed it like a matchbox
beneath her prow. The Mutual immed-
iately plunged to the bottom, throwing
the captain and crew of six into the
water.
A near panic immediately occurred
among the passengers on the ferryboat.
While the boat's officers shouted orders
and the passengers ran in confusion-
from one rail to another, the ferry's
engines were reversed and another
disaster occurred, tîwinging clumsily
around, the Hearst hanged her stern
against the long, narrow breakwater and
between a dozen and a score of men
who had dashed out to aid in rescuing
the Mutual's crew were bowled into the
water by the impact.
Ail of the men in the ICY water were
rescued, though with great difficulty,
and the passengers finally were brought
ashore. Five phys:eians were required
to treat those most seriously injured,
either because of hurts suffered in the
collisions or because of exposure while in
the water.
Another municipal ferryboat came to
grief a short time after the double ac-
cident to the Hearst. The Rodman
Wanamaker ran aground on a reef just
off Governor's Island. It was not en-
dangered, however, and wag pulled off
by harbor tugs undamaged.
Today's fog held shipping in New York
harbor at a virtijal standstill

Cruiser Program
Financing To Be
Made More Supple
French Says Navy Bill
Will Leave Room For
Treaty Changes
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
[ WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The House
Appropriations Committee is to rear-
range the financing of fifteen new crui-
sers, already approved, so as to relierve
the dovernment of heavy, periodic fin-
ancial obligations and at the same time
enable President Hoover to order sus-
pensions so as to conform to any agree-
ment at the Disarmament Conférence, it
was said today.
Representative Burt^>n L. French, of
Idaho, a member of the committee, said
that the body would take up the matter
when Congress reconvenes, and also de-
clared that he believed the naval supply
bill for this year would contain a provi-
sion authorizing President Hoover to
stop cruiser construction if the pro-
gram was affected by any agreement at
London.
The necessity for altering the program
for the laying down of the cruisers is
the resuit, Mr. French said, of Président
Hoover's action several months ago, just
before the visit to Washington of Prime
Minister MacDonald of Great Britain, in
suspending work on three cruisers which
are to be built in government yards.
As originally planned, ten cruisers
were to be laid down this fiscal year,
five early in the year and five toward
Us close. The remaining five cruisers
of the program were to be laid down
during the next fiscal year. beginning
July 1, 1930. Two of the first five crui-
sers, let to private yards, were laid
down early last Summer. The three
others of that group were those which
the Président ordered to be held up.
Mr. French said that in his opinion
ail the remaining thirteen cruisers would
be laid down, three of the first group
and the five of the last group later in
the present fiscal year and the other
five next year, but that the House Com-
mittee would probably fÕO arrange th«
schedule for starting construction that
the government would not be confronted
with a financial "bump."
Hague Conference
Meets Again, Goes
Into Commissions
Tardieu, Curtius Are
Welcomed As New
Delegates
BY HENRY WALES.
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. 3.—The second
phase of The Hague Conference for
liquidating the outstanding problerns of
the war was opened in the lower house
of the Binnenhof today with a brief
public plenary session.
Premier Jaspar, of Belgium, President
of the Conférence, in his address to the
deilegates, lamented the de mise of the
late Dr;* Stresemann and welcomed his
successor, Dr. Curtius, and M. Tardieu,

The meeting then immediately became
private and- two ,_eoralplissions were for-
med—the first dealing with non-German
réparations to be presided over by M.
réparations under the chairmanship of
Premier Jaspar.

suib-committee of treasury experts from
the six inviting Powers, Germany, Great
Britain, France, Italy, Belgium and
Japan, to codify the work done since
August when the first Hague confer-
ence was ended, and to present the com-
plété report.
M. Titulesco, of Roumania, urged that
experts of the smaller states participate
in order to be fami.liar with questions
concerning them but a compromise was
finally made in which it was agreed thàt
they examine the report before it is
finally handed to the full commission.
M. Mrozowski, of Poland. announced
that Germany and Poland had reached
an agreement at Warsaw on Oct. 31
last, settling their problems directly.
Premier Tardieu called on Chancellor
of the Exchequer Snowden this morning
for one hour, and expressed himself as
being comple.tely satisfied after the
interview.

bassy in Paris, is again unofficial ob-
server for t112 United States. Other

English Storm Hits
Shipping And Planes
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan.3.-Channel shipping
and the airplanes of the continental air
routes alike suffered bad buffetings in
the first gale of the new year this after-
noon.
Owing to the poor visibility the pilots
of the big air liners were forced down
to low altitudes and three machines be-
longing to foreign companies were forced
to land at Lympne airdrome. The pas-
sengers continued their journey to Lon-
don by train. Two of the planes were en
route from Amsterdam and one from
Paris.
The Channel steamers had very choppy
crossings but in no case was it found
necessary to cancel schedules.

HIGHEST COURT
STUDIES GUILT
OF RUM BUYER
Mellon Defends Black
Duck Killers For
Doing Duty
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The whole
proposition that purchasers of liquor
in America are guilty of violating the
Prohibition ' laws was placed before the
United States Supreme Court today by
the Department of Justice.
But the move amounted to little more
than a new attempt to 'fasten guilt on
conscientious persons who violate a law
out of a spirit of righteous protest rather
than a disregard for law, for the request
carrjed with it a new charge which would
make the Prohibition drinker guilty for
a new reason.
Although a request for an entire survey
of the question was made, the Depart-
ment of Justice simultaneously advanced
the argument that even though purchase
of liquor per se might not be a violation,
as held in the courts, still knowledge
that the purchase involved unlawful
transportation should make the liquor
buyer guilty of conspiracy.
This new attack from the Drys car-
ried equal consternation with the as-
sertions of Secretary of the Treasury
Andrew ÍIellon that the Coast Guard
crew was blameless in the slaying of
three men on the rum runner Black
Duck last Sunday, and his attempts to
Fox Comes To Aid
Of Firm Menaced
With Receivership
Stockholders In Film
Company Reassured
By President
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YOBK, Jan., 3.—The threat of a.
receivership for the Fox Film Corpora-
tion by a committee representing the
Clas's A stockholders faded out today as
the committee issued a new statement,
admitting that the announcement made
by William Fox, President of the com-
pany, regarding assets, was "very en-
couraging."
Folio win,- the committee's statement,
there was a sharp rally on the Stock
Exchange in Fox Film later this after-
noon, advancing the stock from 16 1/4
to 20 3/4. This sudden rise was due
also to Mr. Fox's reply to the receiver-
ship threat, wherein he stated that the
corporation's assets exceeded by $73,-
000,000 ail its liabilities and that its
earnings for next year were at least ex-
pected to equal those of 1929. This sur-
plus gives the combined Class A and
Class B shares a book value of approxi-
mately $73 a share.
On Thursday, Fox Film broke seven
points when Stanley M. Lazarus, coun-
sel for Class A stockholders iu the cor-
poration, stated that a receivership for
the company was inévitable for the
protection of interests of creditors and
shareholders. When Mr. Lazarus' an-
nouncement reached Wall Street, there
was a drop from 24 to 17, the stock
closing after a slight rally at 17 1/4.
At that time, M. Lazarus claimed that
there had been a disagreement among
the trustees and the Class B Fox Film
stockholders and that the company'e
officiais were unwilling to cooperate
with the Class A stockholders.
Mr. Fox saved the day, however, by
issuing a vigorous statement in which
he declared that the corporation was
being well managed, that the companies
were' making a reasonable profit and
that the prospects for 1930 were good,

In Halting Blaze
(International News Service).
SAN PEDRO, Calif., Jan. 3.—The
American Aircraft Carrier Saratoga, one
of thé largest vessels of its type in the
world, was momentarily imperiled to-
day when a fuel launch filled with gaso-
line exploded while lying alongside the
vessel in San Pedro harbor. Two sea-
men are believed to have lest their
lives.
The flames shot high over the super-
structure of the giant ship as a tank
of lfighly volatile aviation gasoline on
the accommodation deck caught tire,
wreathing the vessel in dense smoke.
Two seamen who were aboard the
launch when the explosion occurred are
missing, and it is believed that they
were drowned. Three of the Saratoga',s
crew also were seriously hurt fighting
,the_ fiâmes, which were. ¡l'won put out
with little damage to the ship.
The Saratoga, 'which is a vessel of
33,000 tons, had' 80 stirplanes âccomo-
dated in .her hangars below decks when
the explosion occurred. The entire crew
was mustered to prevent the fiâmes
from spreading to the aviation decks
and the magazines.
The Saratoga was converted into an
aircraft carrier after the World War.
She is 850 feet long and carries a total
complement of 1,730 officers and men,
including 169 flying officers. With her
sister ship, the Lexington, she is the
largest carrier possessed by the United
States.

Dr. Butler Sneers
At Current Ideas
Of True Democracy
He Finds Distinctions
Of Manner And Dress
To Be Inévitable
(Special Cable To The Tribune)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, président of Columbia
Univer&ity, has some caustic things t;,)
say in his annual report to the trustées
of the University about the deteriora-
tion of manners under democracy.
It is Dr. Butler's opinion that the
time has corne to protest against the
"odd but widespread opinion iound not
only in the United States but in other
lands as well that distinction of person
or manner or dresg is somehow out of
place in démocratie society."
Why, he asks, should there be no
objection to wearing knickerbockers ;it
golf, while a deep rooted objection exists
"to wearing knee breeches at formai
state functions where gentlemen have
a,ppeared in this costume for genera-
tions?"
From this view, says Dr. Butler,
proceeds the belief that democracy ap-
proves* of "dirt, vulgarity of speech and
of manner, slovenliness of dress and
avoddance o'f anything which mi.g'ht
appear to be refined, gentle or elegant."
He protests against suoh a; belief,
which he déclarés, implies the notion
that the leveling process of democracy
is a leveling down and not a leveling
up. The contrary, Dr. Butler contends,
is the truth.
"Democracy, for its fullest flower,
require&' distinction of manner, of speech
and of dress more than does any form
of Society, "for thus only, he says, can
democracy produce "an aristocracy of
its own for its ornament and its service."
A democracy which can't do that "is
certainly doomed," he declared.
To Lincoln's Gettysburg definition of
democracy, "Government of the people,
by the people and for the people," Dr.
Butler prefers Mazzini's: "A progrès!-, of
ail under the leadership of the best and
wisest."
That, says Dr. Butler, means the
création of an aristocracy "of character,
of high intelligence, of large knowledge,
' of zeal for service, recruited from the
bosom of democracy itself."

itive tariffs on many vital automobile
parts imported from America to France,
show discrimination or injustice against
American manufacturers, it was learned
yesterday.
The text of the bill which, if passed,
would double the cost of popular, low-
priced American cars in France, is being
examined oarefully in order to détermine
whether it discriminates against the
United States in any way. Future ac-
tion will depend on the resuit of this
examination, which is not yet con-
cluded.
Wl1ile the passage of the bill in its
present form might resuit in a serious
tariff conflict, as it would practie'ally
close the French market to American
cars, optimisai prevails in officiai circles
that it will be possible to find a solution
satisfactory to both sides.
It is pointed out in this connection
that an erroneous impression appears to
prevail in France regarding the new
Amcrican tariff bill, now under con-
sideration by Congress, which provides
for increased duties rather on agricul-
tural than manufacturcd products and,
in its present form, contains numerous
provisions extremely favorable to French
industry.
THE WEATHER
Cloudy and misty, light drizzling rain,
temperature unchanging, southwesterly
wind, is today's forecast for Paris and
vicinity.
Yesterday the highest temperature
was 50 degrees F. (10 C.) ; and the
lowest was 41 degrees F. (5 C.).

TODAY IN SOCIETY
BY MAY BIRKHEAD.
,We ma y soon expect to see a heavy
drift of travel to Algiers. Elaborate pre-
parations are going forward to fête the
hundredth anniversary of the taking of the
, sity. The capture 'Of this Barbary State
was no light undertaking. The Emperor
. Charles V had tried it in 1541, and failed.
5 For several centuries, the Algerian or Bar-
1 bary pirates were the scourge of the Me-
diterranean. They had the pleasant cus-
tom ,of holding prisoners for ransom. One
of the most illustrious was Cervantes. The
futute author of Don Quixote languished
in p'risoh there for several years. The
European powers, instead of stamping out
these déprédations, paid a tribute often
inc!uding war vessels which served to
' strengthen the pirates. Président Jef-
ferson sent some of the ablest officers of
' the American navy against them, but
' without in'fticting more than a temporary
check. Even the expédition head-ed by
Commodore Stephen Decatur, who eni.er-
ed Algiers in 1815, onJy succeeded in
, a.bating temporarily this nuisance. It was ;
not until 1829 that the French Govern- ,
ment finally raised a formidable force ;
which bombarded and took possession of (
Algiers on Ju!y 5, 1830.
"The commémoration of the hundredth
anniversary of ! this event is not only
. arousing great interest in France, but will
attract tourists fr'om many other coun-
tjSes. Algeria, Tunis and Morocco, form-
jgg an important part of the great French
colonial empire, are worthy of a visit for
many reasons. ' Arrangements are now
being made to. construct a large number
of bungalows to supplement the hotel
accommodations at Algiers. This whole
région' is famous for its climate and the
d'iv-ersity and splendor of its landscape;
afid it is figured that, during 193o, an
m.ormous number of tourists will visit
thèse French possessions in Northern
Âfrica, which, in addition to their claims
m health and beauty, bave their pictur-
Mque Mo!hamsi,edan population and their
markable relics of the Roman occupa-
tion.

Man Who Wrecked
Geneva Meet
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—William B.
Shearer, self styled "bass drum" at the
abortive Geneva Naval Conférence, has
sprung into prominence again with an
announcement that he will renew his
boom for a big navy at a mass meeting
Sunday night, just before the departure
of the American deieg'ation to the Lon-
don Conference on Naval Disarmament.
Shearer will "unmask the increa.se'
during the last ten years against Amer-
ican sea power" at the meeting. No
sooner had he begun beating his drum
again than he drew support from Ad-
mirai Bradley Fiske, who answered his
innouncement with promises of sup-
port.
The renewal of activity by the pro-
pagandist who claimed credit for wreck-
ir.g the Geneva Conférence has proved
exceedingiy embarrassing to &lome
croups in Washington, particularly those
tvho are prepared to see the American
lelegation off with high hop&e of sharp

SUICIDE INSURANCE
FOR BUSINESS MAN
LATEST SAFEGUARD
$30,000 Bond Is Taken
To Protect Loan
From Bank
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Suicide insur-
ance is the latest safeguard for the
American businessman.
What is believed to be the first surety
bond of that kind was issued today by
the National Surety Company of New
Y ork.
The policy consists- of a $30,000 bond
and irisures a New York chemical-manu-
facturer, whose name is withheld,'
against suicide within the next two
years. In seeking a loan on hiis busi-
ness success which depends largely on
the manufacturer's own effort, he- found
that his bankers demanded life insur-
ance to cover them against Ioss.
Death by suicide within the prescrib-
ed time would, however, nullify the in-
surance policy. Tbe manufacturer
the refore thought of a spécial policy
with a suicide clause.
As suicides in the United States are
more numerous than in any other coun-
try, suicide policies are liable to become
popular.
Marie Jose Sheds A Tear As She Waves
Farewell In Flower Filled Rome Train
BY ANNE SOMER HOUSE.
(Tribune Press Service)
BRUSSELS, Jan. 3.—Princess Marie
José waved Au revoir with both hands
from the window of the royal train at
the Brussels North Station as two
locomotives slowly started their wlieels
turning to take her to Rome, where on
Jan. 8 she will become the bride of
Prince Umberto, heir to the throne of
Italy.
Pressing a little lace handkerchief to
her eyes, Marie José was visibly deeply
stirred as she stood there in the pale
green and gold parlor of the luxurious
Italian train. Her face, framed oy
blonde curls under her tight fitting-
beige and brown hat, was pale, and at
one moment she seemed to shiver, draw-
lng her long mink coat doser over her
beige silk frock.
King Albert and Queen Elizabetli, her
parents1, stood back of the Princess and
at her aide were her brothers, Crown
Prince Leopold and Prince Charles and
her sister-in-law, Princess Astrid.
Flowers that had corne with the Italian
royal train from Rome filled the air
with a strong scent, and à riot of flar,,,:
of both dynasties decorated the station.
About 20,000 crowded in front of the
station and 2,000 of the privileged wer..
inside, ail roaring Vive la Princesse!
Some women cried. Others held their
children up to have a last look at th..
departing Princess. Camera men pushed

Ferry, With 200 Aboard, Sinks Tug
Then Runs Into Breakwater In Fog
Near Panic Occurs But
No Lives Are Lost
By Mishap
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Lost in a dense
fog with nearly 200 passengers crowding
her decks, the Municipal Ferryboat Wil-.
liam Randolph Hearst rammed and sank
the tugboat Mutual anchored off the
Erie Bas in breakwater late today.
Creeping blindly along more than a
mile off her course, the Hearst rammed
the tug and crushed it like a matchbox
beneath her prow. The Mutual immed-
iately plunged to the bottom, throwing
the captain and crew of six into the
water.
A near panic immediately occurred
among the passengers on the ferryboat.
While the boat's officers shouted orders
and the passengers ran in confusion-
from one rail to another, the ferry's
engines were reversed and another
disaster occurred, tîwinging clumsily
around, the Hearst hanged her stern
against the long, narrow breakwater and
between a dozen and a score of men
who had dashed out to aid in rescuing
the Mutual's crew were bowled into the
water by the impact.
Ail of the men in the ICY water were
rescued, though with great difficulty,
and the passengers finally were brought
ashore. Five phys:eians were required
to treat those most seriously injured,
either because of hurts suffered in the
collisions or because of exposure while in
the water.
Another municipal ferryboat came to
grief a short time after the double ac-
cident to the Hearst. The Rodman
Wanamaker ran aground on a reef just
off Governor's Island. It was not en-
dangered, however, and wag pulled off
by harbor tugs undamaged.
Today's fog held shipping in New York
harbor at a virtijal standstill

Cruiser Program
Financing To Be
Made More Supple
French Says Navy Bill
Will Leave Room For
Treaty Changes
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
[ WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The House
Appropriations Committee is to rear-
range the financing of fifteen new crui-
sers, already approved, so as to relierve
the dovernment of heavy, periodic fin-
ancial obligations and at the same time
enable President Hoover to order sus-
pensions so as to conform to any agree-
ment at the Disarmament Conférence, it
was said today.
Representative Burt^>n L. French, of
Idaho, a member of the committee, said
that the body would take up the matter
when Congress reconvenes, and also de-
clared that he believed the naval supply
bill for this year would contain a provi-
sion authorizing President Hoover to
stop cruiser construction if the pro-
gram was affected by any agreement at
London.
The necessity for altering the program
for the laying down of the cruisers is
the resuit, Mr. French said, of Président
Hoover's action several months ago, just
before the visit to Washington of Prime
Minister MacDonald of Great Britain, in
suspending work on three cruisers which
are to be built in government yards.
As originally planned, ten cruisers
were to be laid down this fiscal year,
five early in the year and five toward
Us close. The remaining five cruisers
of the program were to be laid down
during the next fiscal year. beginning
July 1, 1930. Two of the first five crui-
sers, let to private yards, were laid
down early last Summer. The three
others of that group were those which
the Président ordered to be held up.
Mr. French said that in his opinion
ail the remaining thirteen cruisers would
be laid down, three of the first group
and the five of the last group later in
the present fiscal year and the other
five next year, but that the House Com-
mittee would probably fÕO arrange th«
schedule for starting construction that
the government would not be confronted
with a financial "bump."
Hague Conference
Meets Again, Goes
Into Commissions
Tardieu, Curtius Are
Welcomed As New
Delegates
BY HENRY WALES.
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. 3.—The second
phase of The Hague Conference for
liquidating the outstanding problerns of
the war was opened in the lower house
of the Binnenhof today with a brief
public plenary session.
Premier Jaspar, of Belgium, President
of the Conférence, in his address to the
deilegates, lamented the de mise of the
late Dr;* Stresemann and welcomed his
successor, Dr. Curtius, and M. Tardieu,
the new French Premier.
The meeting then immediately became
private and- two ,_eoralplissions were for-
med—the first dealing with non-German
réparations to be presided over by M.
réparations under the chairmanship of
Premier Jaspar.
Premier Jaspar proposed forming a
suib-committee of treasury experts from
the six inviting Powers, Germany, Great
Britain, France, Italy, Belgium and
Japan, to codify the work done since
August when the first Hague confer-
ence was ended, and to present the com-
plété report.
M. Titulesco, of Roumania, urged that
experts of the smaller states participate
in order to be fami.liar with questions
concerning them but a compromise was
finally made in which it was agreed thàt
they examine the report before it is
finally handed to the full commission.
M. Mrozowski, of Poland. announced
that Germany and Poland had reached
an agreement at Warsaw on Oct. 31
last, settling their problems directly.
Premier Tardieu called on Chancellor
of the Exchequer Snowden this morning
for one hour, and expressed himself as
being comple.tely satisfied after the
interview.

bassy in Paris, is again unofficial ob-
server for t112 United States. Other

English Storm Hits
Shipping And Planes
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan.3.-Channel shipping
and the airplanes of the continental air
routes alike suffered bad buffetings in
the first gale of the new year this after-
noon.
Owing to the poor visibility the pilots
of the big air liners were forced down
to low altitudes and three machines be-
longing to foreign companies were forced
to land at Lympne airdrome. The pas-
sengers continued their journey to Lon-
don by train. Two of the planes were en
route from Amsterdam and one from
Paris.
The Channel steamers had very choppy
crossings but in no case was it found
necessary to cancel schedules.

HIGHEST COURT
STUDIES GUILT
OF RUM BUYER
Mellon Defends Black
Duck Killers For
Doing Duty
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The whole
proposition that purchasers of liquor
in America are guilty of violating the
Prohibition ' laws was placed before the
United States Supreme Court today by
the Department of Justice.
But the move amounted to little more
than a new attempt to 'fasten guilt on
conscientious persons who violate a law
out of a spirit of righteous protest rather
than a disregard for law, for the request
carrjed with it a new charge which would
make the Prohibition drinker guilty for
a new reason.
Although a request for an entire survey
of the question was made, the Depart-
ment of Justice simultaneously advanced
the argument that even though purchase
of liquor per se might not be a violation,
as held in the courts, still knowledge
that the purchase involved unlawful
transportation should make the liquor
buyer guilty of conspiracy.
This new attack from the Drys car-
ried equal consternation with the as-
sertions of Secretary of the Treasury
Andrew ÍIellon that the Coast Guard
crew was blameless in the slaying of
three men on the rum runner Black
Duck last Sunday, and his attempts to
Fox Comes To Aid
Of Firm Menaced
With Receivership
Stockholders In Film
Company Reassured
By President
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YOBK, Jan., 3.—The threat of a.
receivership for the Fox Film Corpora-
tion by a committee representing the
Clas's A stockholders faded out today as
the committee issued a new statement,
admitting that the announcement made
by William Fox, President of the com-
pany, regarding assets, was "very en-
couraging."
Folio win,- the committee's statement,
there was a sharp rally on the Stock
Exchange in Fox Film later this after-
noon, advancing the stock from 16 1/4
to 20 3/4. This sudden rise was due
also to Mr. Fox's reply to the receiver-
ship threat, wherein he stated that the
corporation's assets exceeded by $73,-
000,000 ail its liabilities and that its
earnings for next year were at least ex-
pected to equal those of 1929. This sur-
plus gives the combined Class A and
Class B shares a book value of approxi-
mately $73 a share.
On Thursday, Fox Film broke seven
points when Stanley M. Lazarus, coun-
sel for Class A stockholders iu the cor-
poration, stated that a receivership for
the company was inévitable for the
protection of interests of creditors and
shareholders. When Mr. Lazarus' an-
nouncement reached Wall Street, there
was a drop from 24 to 17, the stock
closing after a slight rally at 17 1/4.
At that time, M. Lazarus claimed that
there had been a disagreement among
the trustees and the Class B Fox Film
stockholders and that the company'e
officiais were unwilling to cooperate
with the Class A stockholders.
Mr. Fox saved the day, however, by
issuing a vigorous statement in which
he declared that the corporation was
being well managed, that the companies
were' making a reasonable profit and
that the prospects for 1930 were good,

(International News Service).
VE-";ICE, Ca'ifornia, Jan. 3.-0ne of the greatest tragédies in

In Halting Blaze
(International News Service).
SAN PEDRO, Calif., Jan. 3.—The
American Aircraft Carrier Saratoga, one
of thé largest vessels of its type in the
world, was momentarily imperiled to-
day when a fuel launch filled with gaso-
line exploded while lying alongside the
vessel in San Pedro harbor. Two sea-
men are believed to have lest their
lives.
The flames shot high over the super-
structure of the giant ship as a tank
of lfighly volatile aviation gasoline on
the accommodation deck caught tire,
wreathing the vessel in dense smoke.
Two seamen who were aboard the
launch when the explosion occurred are
missing, and it is believed that they
were drowned. Three of the Saratoga',s
crew also were seriously hurt fighting
,the_ fiâmes, which were. ¡l'won put out
with little damage to the ship.
The Saratoga, 'which is a vessel of
33,000 tons, had' 80 stirplanes âccomo-
dated in .her hangars below decks when
the explosion occurred. The entire crew
was mustered to prevent the fiâmes
from spreading to the aviation decks
and the magazines.
The Saratoga was converted into an
aircraft carrier after the World War.
She is 850 feet long and carries a total
complement of 1,730 officers and men,
including 169 flying officers. With her
sister ship, the Lexington, she is the
largest carrier possessed by the United
States.

Dr. Butler Sneers
At Current Ideas
Of True Democracy
He Finds Distinctions
Of Manner And Dress
To Be Inévitable
(Special Cable To The Tribune)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, président of Columbia
Univer&ity, has some caustic things t;,)
say in his annual report to the trustées
of the University about the deteriora-
tion of manners under democracy.
It is Dr. Butler's opinion that the
time has corne to protest against the
"odd but widespread opinion iound not
only in the United States but in other
lands as well that distinction of person
or manner or dresg is somehow out of
place in démocratie society."
Why, he asks, should there be no
objection to wearing knickerbockers ;it
golf, while a deep rooted objection exists
"to wearing knee breeches at formai
state functions where gentlemen have
a,ppeared in this costume for genera-
tions?"
From this view, says Dr. Butler,
proceeds the belief that democracy ap-
proves* of "dirt, vulgarity of speech and
of manner, slovenliness of dress and
avoddance o'f anything which mi.g'ht
appear to be refined, gentle or elegant."
He protests against suoh a; belief,
which he déclarés, implies the notion
that the leveling process of democracy
is a leveling down and not a leveling
up. The contrary, Dr. Butler contends,
is the truth.
"Democracy, for its fullest flower,
require&' distinction of manner, of speech
and of dress more than does any form
of Society, "for thus only, he says, can
democracy produce "an aristocracy of
its own for its ornament and its service."
A democracy which can't do that "is
certainly doomed," he declared.
To Lincoln's Gettysburg definition of
democracy, "Government of the people,
by the people and for the people," Dr.
Butler prefers Mazzini's: "A progrès!-, of
ail under the leadership of the best and
wisest."
That, says Dr. Butler, means the
création of an aristocracy "of character,
of high intelligence, of large knowledge,
' of zeal for service, recruited from the
bosom of democracy itself."
U.S. Auto Interests Will Be Protected
If New French Tariff Is Discriminatory
American automobile interests in
France will be adequately protected by
the United States Government if the
provisions of the bill now being prepar-
ed for consideration by the French
Ohamber, establishing, virtually prohib-
itive tariffs on many vital automobile
parts imported from America to France,
show discrimination or injustice against
American manufacturers, it was learned
yesterday.
The text of the bill which, if passed,
would double the cost of popular, low-
priced American cars in France, is being
examined oarefully in order to détermine
whether it discriminates against the
United States in any way. Future ac-
tion will depend on the resuit of this
examination, which is not yet con-
cluded.
Wl1ile the passage of the bill in its
present form might resuit in a serious
tariff conflict, as it would practie'ally
close the French market to American
cars, optimisai prevails in officiai circles
that it will be possible to find a solution
satisfactory to both sides.
It is pointed out in this connection
that an erroneous impression appears to
prevail in France regarding the new
Amcrican tariff bill, now under con-
sideration by Congress, which provides
for increased duties rather on agricul-
tural than manufacturcd products and,
in its present form, contains numerous
provisions extremely favorable to French
industry.
