TODAY IN SOCIETY
BY MAY BIRKHEAD.
The princely wedding in Italy almost
' coincides with «f» ^
Ta-Pïfth Night. One of the forms of
entertainment provided by - the King of
it aly for the nU'inerous royalties atte.id-
ine the affair, is hunting on his own pre-
sefve Southeast from the TJ.ber, for a
considérable distance down the coast, a
]arge- stretch of land belongs to the
Monarch. Here the great silent forests,
: with their p.ines and oaks, covur what in
[ antiquity was a long line of superb vil-
Jas: 'Some distance down from Tiber, the
larger trees are succeeded by scrub growth,
and sand dunes emerge.
Yet much of this district is now as it
was in thL' old Romani times, for the
Impérial éléphants were kept here. The
present King's property extends almost
to Lavinium, the home of Latinus, whose
daughter Lavinia became the wife of
eneas. For a long period, mue... of this
région was uninhabitable; but experiments
made on the King's préserve at Castel
fusano about 1900 determined the cause
and cure of malarial conditions there.
. At Laurentium, which lies a few miles
to the south of Castel Porziano, where
the hunting party is assembled, the Queen
: of Italy had made, in 1906, excavations
which uncovered the Village of Augustus.
&rpong the great oaks, soundings havê'
also been made to find Pliny's villa; and
here was also found a replica of the fa-
mous Discobolus of Myron, The sport at
castel Porziano these days has been
varied, and the game includes pteasant,
stag and wiid boar.
Among the discoveries resulting from
the Queen's excavations were records tell-
ing how the president of the guild of
amekeepers had offered to the members
)f his corporation the portraits of the
Emperors, which were to be set up in an
appropriate hall in the Village of Augus-
tus. A tombstone inscription proves that
jn antiquity a frteedman of the Emperor
administered the Impérial property in
these extensive forests, then used, as now,
for preserving game.
Gertrude Morse Webster, who has ai-
ready won recognition as a singer in her
home town, Chicago, has corne to Paris
to study with French teachers and furth-
er improve her voice, which . is said to
have much charm. At a recent concert
at home one .of her critics spoke of her.
as a co!oratura soprano with a Ga:li-
€urci motivation in. costume and a voice
'of charming youthful quality. She has
'tilKen an apartment at 17 Boulevard
Lannes and will be here for some months.
Mrs. Webster is the daughter of Andrew
Gray Morse, founder and president of the
A. G. Morse Candy Co.
: One of the reasons for Mrs. t)urK€
Roche's visit to America this winter. was
'to attend the coming-out party of her
grand-daughter, Miss Eileen Burden, the
daughter of Mrs. Guy Fairfax Carey, who
was Cynthia Burke Roche. The dance
was given a few days after Christmas and
it is said that Mrs. Burke Roche was
,indeed an imposing figure with her white
hair and distinguished bearing, and it goes
without saying that she mainteined her
reputation for the perfection of her dress.
With her in the receiving line, three gen-
erations of the family were represented.
Quite a gathering was present yester-
day at the Jean Charpentier Galeries to
take in the showing of works by L. See-
vagen, the well known French painter.
The canvases, aquarelles and etchings in-
cluded a wide range of characteristic
scenes of Paris and a number of the:
French provinces, particularly Morvan
:and the Nivernais, the Midi and Provence,
«and also the curious lie de Bréhat, as
well as nudes and studies of still-1 ife.
These works, which have a remarkable
.iuminous quality, are causing much inter-
est. At the vernissage day before yes-
terday, those présent included M. Fran-
çois Poncet, Under Secretary for Fine
Arts, and Mme. Poncet; M. Dézarrois,
; M. Koechlin, président of the Council of
-Nationa! Museums, Mme. Emile Halphen,
Comtesse de La Rochefoucauld, Mme.
Edgard Stern. A number of M. Seeva-
gen's works are in the hands of private
collectors and museums in America,
among others the French Muséum, the
French Consulate, and the Metropolitan
,Museum in New York, and at Boston,
Indianapolis, Cincinnati and elsewhere.
Several notable Americans are arriving
Friday on the Berengaria. Mrs. James
B. Duke, widow of the tobacco magnate,
is coming to be at the Ritz for a short
visit and later to do some traveling in
;the South. Lady Alastair Leveson-Gower,
the former Elizabeth De ma r est of New
York, is coming directly to Paris to join
her little daughter, who is arriving to-
: morrow.
SENATOR SARRAUT ILL.

Berlin Reds Bury
Dead Amid Battle
And Wound Dozen
Communists Fight All
Along Route Taken
By Big Funeral
(Tribune Press Service)
BERLIN, Jan 7.-Berlin Communists 1
this afternoon seized upon the funeral
of two of their comrades to stage a
demonstration whieh develbped into a
three hour skirmish with police. One
police captain was nearly stabbed to
death, a dozen Reds were wounded and
54 members of the "Red Front Fighters
Association" were arrested.
Careful planning in advanoe by the
Communist leaders engineered .the fight
into a running- battle that extended ail
along- the route of the fun eral and was
apparently intended as a grandstànd
play for publicity in connection with the
growing embarrassment of the Govern-
mènt in face of conditions which seem
to be gradually growing worse.
One of the Communists who was be-
ing buried was Walter Neumann, who
had been fatally wounded in a brysh
with the National Socialists last week.
The other was Meier-Kuibisch, who died
in prison recently, providing the Reds
with an opportunity to make him out
a martyr to their cause by accusing the
prison doctors of deliberately neglecting
him.
Coal Grenades Thrown.
Th& liveliest clash oocurred at the
cemetery when the Red procession, dott-
ed with Communist f!ags and lnflam-
matory placards, arrived, trailad by
automobile trucks filled with police.
When the police insisted that certain
wreaths insulting the Republic be re-
moved from the coffins, the Communists
started a pitched battle, laying down a
barrage of coal briquettes from a dis-
tance, while the "Red Front Fighters"
engaged the ' police in a hand-to-hand
struggle with knives and brass knuckles.
Police Calptain Krampe was surround-
ed, knooked down and severely stabbed.
When his men were unable to drive off
the Reds and rescue their captain, they
drew their guns and fired into the mob
Several fell under the volley, but the at-
t&ckers managed to carry off their
wounded so that the exact number of
casuatties suffered by the demonstrators
could not be told.
The entire police force remained
m-obilized late this afternoon, fearing an..
other Communist raid on the City Hall,
but it did not develop and quiet was
restored this evenins'.
Owners Of Fox Stock
Don't Want Receiver
(International News Service).
NEW YQRK, Jan. 7.—Statements that
class "A" stockholders of the Fox Film
Corporation are about to apply for a re-
ceiver8hip for the company were denied
by the stockholders' legal représentative
today. ' The, report regarding- the re-
ceivership was spread after the dissatis-
fied class "A" stockholders expressed
doufets about the security _of their hold-
ings in connection with the reorgan-
ization of the company's finances which
is now proceeding.
C.S. Funk, Chicago Banker,
Dies At Age Of Sixty-Four
(Special Cable To The Tribune)
CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-Clarenc'e Sidney
Funk, président of the Agricultural
Bond and Credit Corporation and one
oi the principal figures in the expulsion
of William Lorimer from the Unîte<[
States Sénats two décades ago, died

and advanced through various depart-
ments until he became sales manager

ufacturers of harvesting machines. The

he was made assistant to the president
and later général manager.
Hoover Asks For Patience
While Naval Parley Toils
Difficulties Not Insuperable, He Says,
Requesting Nation Not To Criticize;
Stimson Urges More Naval Holiday
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Following a breakfast which he gave to
the American delegates to the coming Naval Disarmament Conférence in
London, Président Hoover made an announcement summarizing his
parting words of encouragement to the delegation.
The Chief Executive said, "I am sure the whole nation wishes
godspeed to the American delegation which leaves tomorrow for the
London Naval Armament Conférence. The peoples and Governments of
the five nations assem5"!Ing at this meeting are sincerely desirous thât
an agreement shall be brought about by which competition in the
construction of naval arms shall be brought to an end and by. which the
actual reduction of the naval burdens of the world shall be accomplished."
"The difficulties of finding a basis
. which will be acceptable to five dif-
[ ferent nations are great but not insup-
erable. The conclusions of the confér-
ence must be such as to give a sense of
security and satisfaction to each of the
nations. Permanent peace is never bas-
ed on either taking advantage of or ac-
cepting- a position of prejudice.
"The technology and complexities of
the problem are such that we need net
hope for immediate and quick results.
To complete t4e conference in three or
four months would be in itself a great
accomplishment and we sliould not ex-
pect any hurried conclusions. It is the
most important international confér-
ence for a great many years and-.prob-
ably the most important for many years
to come-
"They Must Succeed;"
"The progress of the peace of the
world rests in great measure on the
shoulders of the five delegations. There
Is good will toward the conférence on
the part of every nation. The import-
ance and gravit y of the occasion have
been recognized in the despatching to
London of the leading men -of every
country. They will have to succeed.
"I hope our country will co-operate
in the progress of the conférence - by
patience, encouragement and freedoin
from criticism. We go to London in a
fine atmosphère of good will and it ls^
the duty of our country to -preserve that
atmosphere in so far "as lies in our
power." , '
The entire delegation was present at
the White House breakfast which1 prec-
eded this announcement and the policies
tG be followed were discussed in' full. It
is thought that no very strict program
has been outlined and that-a general
policy of conciliation will be followed as
much as possible. After the breakfast,
the délégation left for New York whence
SECURITY CALLED
FIRST NAVAL AIM
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan. 7.—National security
is the first' essenttal, declared First Lord
of the Admiralty Alexander tonight al-
luding to the coming Five Power Naval
Conférence before a co-operative meeting
at Abertillery.
"We must strive for the maximum
amount of security." Mr. Alexander said.
"not by any blatant national effort such
as we have had in the past, but by co-
operation of ail Powers concerned. If
that co-operation can be secured and the
basis of an agreement formed, then if we
can avoid reopening the competitive race
in armaments by reaching the point of
an agreement, there is good ground for
a substantial reduction ail around. People
of aIl the powers concerned will thus be
1-elieved of the burden of maintaining
armaments on the scale of the past." ,

DISCORD REIGNS
AS HAGUE'S BIG
SIX ASSEMBLE
Tardieu Gives Dinners
And Drinks Schnapps
With Germans
BY HENRY WALES
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. 7.-The six big
shots at the Second Hague Conference
met today for the first time sinee the
formai opening of the session to examine
the problem on the agenda and imme-
diately they went into a deadlock on
every major point.
S. Parker Gilbert, the Agent General
for Réparations und-er the Dawes Plan,
giided silently into town from Amster-
dam, where he had been secretly so-
journing, answered questions for a
couple of hours and then mysteriously
d'jsappeared again.
De,spite M. André Tardieu's efforts at
conciliation by giving luncheons and
dinners for the German delegates and
being photographed drinking toasts of
rare old SChnapps to the Reich repre-
sentatives, the rivais split wide open on
such knotty points as sanctions, the
moratorium pledges and the date when
the Young Plan becomes effective.
Philip Snowden, the British Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, intervened to raise
another serious problem, hitherto con-
sidered settled. He insisted on positive
instead of negative guaranties for cer-
tain German revenues, which the Ber-
lin delegates hotly rejected.
Thirteen points of the agenda were
taken up one by one as fol10ws:
Firstly, the sanctions—what measures
the Allied creditors may take if Ger-
many defaults. In view of the bitter
German opposition to even discussing
Beatty Cornes Out
In Open Against
Cruiser Reduction
British Admirais For
Tie-Up With France
Against America
(Tribune Press Service)
lJÜNDQN, Jan. 7.--The British cam-
paign against naval réduction came out
in the open today when Admirai of the
Fleet Earl Beatty. in an interview with
the Evening Standard, deolared him-
self strongly opposed to the reduction of
English cruiser strength. from the 70
ships' claimcd at Geneva to the 50 agreed
upon between Premier MacDonald and
Président Hoover.
After stating hi.9 opposition and that
he regarded the situation as grave, Lord
Beatty refused to discuss the matter
further, as he is still an active officer
in the navy and would have been break-
ing regulations, as irideed he had already
by his few words.
T)he statement i.s part of the admirais"
drive against any réduction, which waa
begun by the publication in the Tory
press recently of specially cooke
American navy is superior to the British.
The Tribune a1so learned today that
the ' admirais are rooting for a tie up
with France rather than with America,
because France does not care how many
large ships are afloat as long as ehe can
keep her submarine,s. The admirais ara
deeply concerned over reports of an
agreement between France and America.
The present situation is that France
has now moved into the key position and
is going to be assiduously courted by
both America and Britain at the con-
ference, while Mr. MacDonald, who is
anxious to be friendly with both, has
been deserted by the admirais and the
Tory party acting in conjunctioll.

Liner George Washington Operates Brewery
At Sea, Dismantles It While In U.S. Ports
(International News Service.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-With the arrivai
here yesterday of. the Amerit2an liner
George Washington, operating in the
trans-Atlantic service, it is revealed that
the vessel is now equipped with a mini-
ature brewery which ope-rates only when
the ship is at sea.
The liner is owned by the United
States Lines, formerly a Government
eontrolîed company, which was recently
sold to a private corporation.
In the reply to criticisms regarding the
new departure, Mr. Joseph Sheedy, di-
rector of the cotnpa.ny, declared that the
dry law was in no way being violated,
since the brewery is di-mantled Until
after the vessel has left American terri-
torial waters.
.Officiais aboard the liner took the flrst
step toward starting the brewery, after
20 barrels of beer taken aboard at Ham-
burg during the last westward run were
consumed on New Year's Eve.
It is declared perfectly legitimate that
materials for beer making will be shipped
aboard the vessel for her next eastward
voyage, to be manufactured into liquor
as soon as she has cleared the 12-mile
limit.
The revelation that a beer making
plant exifts aboard the liner is likely to
pro've embarrassing to members of the
American délégation to the Five Power
Conférence, who are schpdu'ted to sai'l on
the George Washington for England on
Thursday,; The George Washington was
chosen after numerous Americans pro-
tested against the delegation's first de-
cision to sail on a wet British liner.

roman tic beyond words whyn Crown
Prince Umberto led Marie Jose, his blond
princess of Belgium and his bride after
tomorrow's ceremony, out of the Quirinal
Palace early this afternoon to the sunny
piazza.in front, where they received the
enthusiastic greetings of a four-mile-long
pageant of ail the Italian peasantry in
gorgeons local costumes.
, A high stand decked with crimson
velvet hangings and gilded festoons, with
the Savoy and Brabant coats of arms

Pershing Refuses To
Run Against Norris
For Seat In Senate
(Spécial Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan.. 7.—Gênerai John
J. Pershing declared today that he did
not désire to be a candidate for United
States Senator from Nebraska. The gen-
eral "wired his sentiments on the matter
to Mark Woo-H Nebraska leader in the
recent movement to draft the former
A.E.F. commander to oppose Senator
Norris in the forthcoming primaries,
With General Pershing's refusai the
only hopes of the Nebraska Old Guard
to defeat the insurgent senator and thus
regain national prestige, disappear.
Every six years the-regular Republicans
of the state have put up what they con-
sidered a popular candidate to defeat
Senator Norris for the Republican nomi-
nation in the primaries, and every time
the administration's pest came through
viotoriously due to his immense popu-
larity among the. farmers. If Pershing
had accepted the party's support, Norris
for the first time in years would have
had serious opposition.

BULLETIN.
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Four victims of poisoned liquor, one of them a wom-
an, lay unconscious in a hospital here today while police were investigating the
source of supply. Fear was expressed that an épidémie of deaths would fol-
low as a result of the Government's new policy of poisoning industrial alcohol,
abandoned two years ago after a vigorous campaign in which the practice was
condemned as "legalized murder."
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Members of the House of Représentatives
today greeted with applause the statement of Representative Carroll L.
Beedy, Republican of Maine, that "the Coast Guard must shoot or you
must wipe the 18th Amendment off the statute books," during a heated
debate over enforcement methods resulting from the recent scandais
illvolving the service.
The démonstration was ail the more pointed beeause 300 members

progress between Canada and thé
United States. The Government now

Magistrates' Courts Kill Respect For Law,
Norman Thomas Tells New York Legislators
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Charges that
the New York Magistrates' Courts
must be cleaned up before it will be
possible to clean up the Police Depart-
ment, break up the gangs and clear out
the bandits were made yesterday by
Norman Thomas, Socialist party head,
in a letter addressed to leaders in the
State Législature. Mr. Thomas com-
plained of moral and mental deficiencies
of many Magistrates and of the gen-
eral demoralization of their courts and
their standards of justice.
Coming on the heela of the recent
scandais in which Magistrate Albert H.
Vitale was said to have been implicated.
the charges created a stir among New
York pôlitica-l circles.
An investigation of the Magistrates'
Courts by the state is demanded by Mr.
Thomas, who complains of the prosti-
tution of the Màgistrate's office to
political ends to the notorious bail
system including "collusion between
professional bondsmen, court clerk.=.
and probably Magistrates themselves."
"It is common belief," stated Mr.
Thomas acting for the Socialist party
of which he won the leadership by his
strong fight against Tammany in the
last city élection, "that New York
magistrates as a rule pay from $20,000
to $25,000 and even $30,000 for their
appointments.
"There is no possibility of inducing
respect for law in the masses of the
people as long as there is an almost
universal belief that one's fate in the
courts, especially the Magistrates'
Courts, has little to do with justice and
everything to do with 'pull.' "
Mr. Thomas also demanded the aboli-
tion of the use of "third degreè"'
methods by the police.

TODAY IN SOCIETY
BY MAY BIRKHEAD.
The princely wedding in Italy almost
' coincides with «f» ^
Ta-Pïfth Night. One of the forms of
entertainment provided by - the King of
it aly for the nU'inerous royalties atte.id-
ine the affair, is hunting on his own pre-
sefve Southeast from the TJ.ber, for a
considérable distance down the coast, a
]arge- stretch of land belongs to the
Monarch. Here the great silent forests,
: with their p.ines and oaks, covur what in
[ antiquity was a long line of superb vil-
Jas: 'Some distance down from Tiber, the
larger trees are succeeded by scrub growth,
and sand dunes emerge.
Yet much of this district is now as it
was in thL' old Romani times, for the
Impérial éléphants were kept here. The
present King's property extends almost
to Lavinium, the home of Latinus, whose
daughter Lavinia became the wife of
eneas. For a long period, mue... of this
région was uninhabitable; but experiments
made on the King's préserve at Castel
fusano about 1900 determined the cause
and cure of malarial conditions there.
. At Laurentium, which lies a few miles
to the south of Castel Porziano, where
the hunting party is assembled, the Queen
: of Italy had made, in 1906, excavations
which uncovered the Village of Augustus.
&rpong the great oaks, soundings havê'
also been made to find Pliny's villa; and
here was also found a replica of the fa-
mous Discobolus of Myron, The sport at
castel Porziano these days has been
varied, and the game includes pteasant,
stag and wiid boar.
Among the discoveries resulting from
the Queen's excavations were records tell-
ing how the president of the guild of
amekeepers had offered to the members
)f his corporation the portraits of the
Emperors, which were to be set up in an
appropriate hall in the Village of Augus-
tus. A tombstone inscription proves that
jn antiquity a frteedman of the Emperor
administered the Impérial property in
these extensive forests, then used, as now,
for preserving game.
Gertrude Morse Webster, who has ai-
ready won recognition as a singer in her
home town, Chicago, has corne to Paris
to study with French teachers and furth-
er improve her voice, which . is said to
have much charm. At a recent concert
at home one .of her critics spoke of her.
as a co!oratura soprano with a Ga:li-
€urci motivation in. costume and a voice
'of charming youthful quality. She has
'tilKen an apartment at 17 Boulevard
Lannes and will be here for some months.
Mrs. Webster is the daughter of Andrew
Gray Morse, founder and president of the
A. G. Morse Candy Co.
: One of the reasons for Mrs. t)urK€
Roche's visit to America this winter. was
'to attend the coming-out party of her
grand-daughter, Miss Eileen Burden, the
daughter of Mrs. Guy Fairfax Carey, who
was Cynthia Burke Roche. The dance
was given a few days after Christmas and
it is said that Mrs. Burke Roche was
,indeed an imposing figure with her white
hair and distinguished bearing, and it goes
without saying that she mainteined her
reputation for the perfection of her dress.
With her in the receiving line, three gen-
erations of the family were represented.
Quite a gathering was present yester-
day at the Jean Charpentier Galeries to
take in the showing of works by L. See-
vagen, the well known French painter.
The canvases, aquarelles and etchings in-
cluded a wide range of characteristic
scenes of Paris and a number of the:
French provinces, particularly Morvan
:and the Nivernais, the Midi and Provence,
«and also the curious lie de Bréhat, as
well as nudes and studies of still-1 ife.
These works, which have a remarkable
.iuminous quality, are causing much inter-
est. At the vernissage day before yes-
terday, those présent included M. Fran-
çois Poncet, Under Secretary for Fine
Arts, and Mme. Poncet; M. Dézarrois,
; M. Koechlin, président of the Council of
-Nationa! Museums, Mme. Emile Halphen,
Comtesse de La Rochefoucauld, Mme.
Edgard Stern. A number of M. Seeva-
gen's works are in the hands of private
collectors and museums in America,
among others the French Muséum, the
French Consulate, and the Metropolitan
,Museum in New York, and at Boston,
Indianapolis, Cincinnati and elsewhere.
Several notable Americans are arriving
Friday on the Berengaria. Mrs. James
B. Duke, widow of the tobacco magnate,
is coming to be at the Ritz for a short
visit and later to do some traveling in

her little daughter, who is arriving to-
: morrow.

Berlin Reds Bury
Dead Amid Battle
And Wound Dozen
Communists Fight All
Along Route Taken
By Big Funeral
(Tribune Press Service)
BERLIN, Jan 7.-Berlin Communists 1
this afternoon seized upon the funeral
of two of their comrades to stage a
demonstration whieh develbped into a
three hour skirmish with police. One
police captain was nearly stabbed to
death, a dozen Reds were wounded and
54 members of the "Red Front Fighters
Association" were arrested.
Careful planning in advanoe by the
Communist leaders engineered .the fight
into a running- battle that extended ail
along- the route of the fun eral and was
apparently intended as a grandstànd
play for publicity in connection with the
growing embarrassment of the Govern-
mènt in face of conditions which seem
to be gradually growing worse.
One of the Communists who was be-
ing buried was Walter Neumann, who
had been fatally wounded in a brysh
with the National Socialists last week.
The other was Meier-Kuibisch, who died
in prison recently, providing the Reds
with an opportunity to make him out
a martyr to their cause by accusing the
prison doctors of deliberately neglecting
him.
Coal Grenades Thrown.
Th& liveliest clash oocurred at the
cemetery when the Red procession, dott-
ed with Communist f!ags and lnflam-
matory placards, arrived, trailad by
automobile trucks filled with police.
When the police insisted that certain
wreaths insulting the Republic be re-
moved from the coffins, the Communists
started a pitched battle, laying down a
barrage of coal briquettes from a dis-
tance, while the "Red Front Fighters"
engaged the ' police in a hand-to-hand
struggle with knives and brass knuckles.
Police Calptain Krampe was surround-
ed, knooked down and severely stabbed.
When his men were unable to drive off
the Reds and rescue their captain, they
drew their guns and fired into the mob
Several fell under the volley, but the at-
t&ckers managed to carry off their
wounded so that the exact number of
casuatties suffered by the demonstrators
could not be told.
The entire police force remained
m-obilized late this afternoon, fearing an..
other Communist raid on the City Hall,
but it did not develop and quiet was
restored this evenins'.

oi the principal figures in the expulsion

Hoover Asks For Patience
While Naval Parley Toils
Difficulties Not Insuperable, He Says,
Requesting Nation Not To Criticize;
Stimson Urges More Naval Holiday
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Following a breakfast which he gave to
the American delegates to the coming Naval Disarmament Conférence in
London, Président Hoover made an announcement summarizing his
parting words of encouragement to the delegation.
The Chief Executive said, "I am sure the whole nation wishes
godspeed to the American delegation which leaves tomorrow for the
London Naval Armament Conférence. The peoples and Governments of
the five nations assem5"!Ing at this meeting are sincerely desirous thât
an agreement shall be brought about by which competition in the
construction of naval arms shall be brought to an end and by. which the
actual reduction of the naval burdens of the world shall be accomplished."
"The difficulties of finding a basis
. which will be acceptable to five dif-
[ ferent nations are great but not insup-
erable. The conclusions of the confér-
ence must be such as to give a sense of
security and satisfaction to each of the
nations. Permanent peace is never bas-
ed on either taking advantage of or ac-
cepting- a position of prejudice.
"The technology and complexities of
the problem are such that we need net
hope for immediate and quick results.
To complete t4e conference in three or
four months would be in itself a great
accomplishment and we sliould not ex-
pect any hurried conclusions. It is the
most important international confér-
ence for a great many years and-.prob-
ably the most important for many years
to come-
"They Must Succeed;"
"The progress of the peace of the
world rests in great measure on the
shoulders of the five delegations. There
Is good will toward the conférence on
the part of every nation. The import-
ance and gravit y of the occasion have
been recognized in the despatching to
London of the leading men -of every
country. They will have to succeed.
"I hope our country will co-operate
in the progress of the conférence - by
patience, encouragement and freedoin
from criticism. We go to London in a
fine atmosphère of good will and it ls^
the duty of our country to -preserve that
atmosphere in so far "as lies in our
power." , '
The entire delegation was present at
the White House breakfast which1 prec-
eded this announcement and the policies
tG be followed were discussed in' full. It
is thought that no very strict program
has been outlined and that-a general
policy of conciliation will be followed as
much as possible. After the breakfast,
the délégation left for New York whence
SECURITY CALLED
FIRST NAVAL AIM
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan. 7.—National security
is the first' essenttal, declared First Lord
of the Admiralty Alexander tonight al-
luding to the coming Five Power Naval
Conférence before a co-operative meeting
at Abertillery.
"We must strive for the maximum
amount of security." Mr. Alexander said.
"not by any blatant national effort such
as we have had in the past, but by co-
operation of ail Powers concerned. If
that co-operation can be secured and the
basis of an agreement formed, then if we
can avoid reopening the competitive race
in armaments by reaching the point of
an agreement, there is good ground for
a substantial reduction ail around. People
of aIl the powers concerned will thus be
1-elieved of the burden of maintaining
armaments on the scale of the past." ,

DISCORD REIGNS
AS HAGUE'S BIG
SIX ASSEMBLE
Tardieu Gives Dinners
And Drinks Schnapps
With Germans
BY HENRY WALES
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. 7.-The six big
shots at the Second Hague Conference
met today for the first time sinee the
formai opening of the session to examine
the problem on the agenda and imme-
diately they went into a deadlock on
every major point.
S. Parker Gilbert, the Agent General
for Réparations und-er the Dawes Plan,
giided silently into town from Amster-
dam, where he had been secretly so-
journing, answered questions for a
couple of hours and then mysteriously
d'jsappeared again.
De,spite M. André Tardieu's efforts at
conciliation by giving luncheons and
dinners for the German delegates and
being photographed drinking toasts of
rare old SChnapps to the Reich repre-
sentatives, the rivais split wide open on
such knotty points as sanctions, the
moratorium pledges and the date when
the Young Plan becomes effective.
Philip Snowden, the British Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, intervened to raise
another serious problem, hitherto con-
sidered settled. He insisted on positive
instead of negative guaranties for cer-
tain German revenues, which the Ber-
lin delegates hotly rejected.
Thirteen points of the agenda were
taken up one by one as fol10ws:
Firstly, the sanctions—what measures
the Allied creditors may take if Ger-
many defaults. In view of the bitter
German opposition to even discussing
Beatty Cornes Out
In Open Against
Cruiser Reduction
British Admirais For
Tie-Up With France
Against America
(Tribune Press Service)
lJÜNDQN, Jan. 7.--The British cam-
paign against naval réduction came out
in the open today when Admirai of the
Fleet Earl Beatty. in an interview with
the Evening Standard, deolared him-
self strongly opposed to the reduction of
English cruiser strength. from the 70
ships' claimcd at Geneva to the 50 agreed
upon between Premier MacDonald and
Président Hoover.
After stating hi.9 opposition and that
he regarded the situation as grave, Lord
Beatty refused to discuss the matter
further, as he is still an active officer
in the navy and would have been break-
ing regulations, as irideed he had already
by his few words.
T)he statement i.s part of the admirais"
drive against any réduction, which waa
begun by the publication in the Tory
press recently of specially cooke
American navy is superior to the British.
The Tribune a1so learned today that
the ' admirais are rooting for a tie up
with France rather than with America,
because France does not care how many
large ships are afloat as long as ehe can
keep her submarine,s. The admirais ara
deeply concerned over reports of an
agreement between France and America.
The present situation is that France
has now moved into the key position and
is going to be assiduously courted by
both America and Britain at the con-
ference, while Mr. MacDonald, who is
anxious to be friendly with both, has
been deserted by the admirais and the
Tory party acting in conjunctioll.

Liner George Washington Operates Brewery
At Sea, Dismantles It While In U.S. Ports
(International News Service.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-With the arrivai
here yesterday of. the Amerit2an liner
George Washington, operating in the
trans-Atlantic service, it is revealed that
the vessel is now equipped with a mini-
ature brewery which ope-rates only when
the ship is at sea.
The liner is owned by the United
States Lines, formerly a Government
eontrolîed company, which was recently
sold to a private corporation.
In the reply to criticisms regarding the
new departure, Mr. Joseph Sheedy, di-
rector of the cotnpa.ny, declared that the
dry law was in no way being violated,
since the brewery is di-mantled Until
after the vessel has left American terri-
torial waters.
.Officiais aboard the liner took the flrst
step toward starting the brewery, after
20 barrels of beer taken aboard at Ham-
burg during the last westward run were
consumed on New Year's Eve.
It is declared perfectly legitimate that
materials for beer making will be shipped
aboard the vessel for her next eastward
voyage, to be manufactured into liquor
as soon as she has cleared the 12-mile
limit.
The revelation that a beer making
plant exifts aboard the liner is likely to
pro've embarrassing to members of the
American délégation to the Five Power
Conférence, who are schpdu'ted to sai'l on
the George Washington for England on
Thursday,; The George Washington was
chosen after numerous Americans pro-
tested against the delegation's first de-
cision to sail on a wet British liner.

With General Pershing's refusai the

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Four victims of poisoned liquor, one of them a wom-
an, lay unconscious in a hospital here today while police were investigating the
source of supply. Fear was expressed that an épidémie of deaths would fol-
low as a result of the Government's new policy of poisoning industrial alcohol,
abandoned two years ago after a vigorous campaign in which the practice was
condemned as "legalized murder."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Members of the House of Représentatives

Magistrates' Courts Kill Respect For Law,
Norman Thomas Tells New York Legislators
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Charges that
the New York Magistrates' Courts
must be cleaned up before it will be
possible to clean up the Police Depart-
ment, break up the gangs and clear out
the bandits were made yesterday by
Norman Thomas, Socialist party head,
in a letter addressed to leaders in the
State Législature. Mr. Thomas com-
plained of moral and mental deficiencies
of many Magistrates and of the gen-
eral demoralization of their courts and
their standards of justice.
Coming on the heela of the recent
scandais in which Magistrate Albert H.
Vitale was said to have been implicated.
the charges created a stir among New
York pôlitica-l circles.
An investigation of the Magistrates'
Courts by the state is demanded by Mr.
Thomas, who complains of the prosti-
tution of the Màgistrate's office to
political ends to the notorious bail
system including "collusion between
professional bondsmen, court clerk.=.
and probably Magistrates themselves."
"It is common belief," stated Mr.
Thomas acting for the Socialist party
of which he won the leadership by his
strong fight against Tammany in the
last city élection, "that New York
magistrates as a rule pay from $20,000
to $25,000 and even $30,000 for their
appointments.
"There is no possibility of inducing
respect for law in the masses of the
people as long as there is an almost
universal belief that one's fate in the
courts, especially the Magistrates'
Courts, has little to do with justice and
everything to do with 'pull.' "
Mr. Thomas also demanded the aboli-
tion of the use of "third degreè"'
methods by the police.
