Ku'ndred years \ ago, Washington Irving

jsts have often, at least indirectly, - ad-
vocated the right of the Indian to a

Frederic Remington preserved for pos-
terity the full-Jblooded types he knew in
the West. "
: An interesting exposition of p^intings
Kathlryn W. Leighton has just opened
at the Knoedler Galleries here. Mrs.
'Leighton, who is giving this first showing
'in' Francé of !her Redskin subjects, was
born in New Hampshire, but for some
years has made her home in Los Angeles,
«'.where her husband is a well known lawyer.
She spent some time in the Glacier Na-
Itional Park, where she had a chance to
study the Blackfoot Tri'be. in which she,
Lwell as he/husband and her son, were
(adopted, Mrs. Leighton being given :he
name of Anna-Tar-Kee, that is, a woman
of noble spirit. Mrs. Leighton frankly
["• expresses her admiration for the dignity
and heroic qualities of these Indians. In
1927, the Great Northern Railroad com-
missi0ned her to execute a number cf
paintings of the Blackfoot Tribe, and
many American collectors hâve bought
her work. She has a fine flair for color,
remarkable powers of observation, anct
excellent technique. In addition to her
portraits of Blackfoot chiefs, she has also
done su'bjects from the Sioux and t'he
Iroquois,. Among the latter is Chief Big
Tree, who is one of the best Indian
dancers, and has played several leading
rôles in films at Hollywood. Mrs. Leigh-
ton gave an exhibition in London a few
months ago, and is very glad to have r.sr,
work known in Paris. where she visited
recently. Practicajly ail her time is spent
in putting on canv^s these memorials of a
picturèsque race which -finds itself cr^mped
by the onward march of civilization.
R With many British travelers going to
tbe Rivkra. Parié, just now, is a restii1,g
•point. Among notables from àcross'tliè
Channel expected in the capital tomorrow
are Lord and Lady Islington who will be
Aère for several days. Lord Islington 'has
a long record of distinguished service for
his country, having been a Member of
Parliament for almost twenty years; ne
also served in South Africa, was Governor
of New Zealand, and during the war, was
Under-Secretary of State for India. His
country seat, where he spends much time
now, Rushbrooke Hall, an ancient E!tX-
abethan structure with a moat, is three
miles from the historie town of Bury Sr.
Edmunds, with its picturesque 12th Cen-
tury ruins. The village takes its name
from the shrine of St. Edmund, the last
king of East Anglia, who died about 870.
This spot was long a famous center for
pilgrims. The Ilth Century monastery,
parts of which still remain, became one
3of the noblest and wealthiest in England.
Among its many interesting features, one
of the most striking reminders of its im-
portance in these ancient days, is a stone
■fab/et in the wall at the main gate giving
a list of the barons who, in 1214, drew up
the Petition of tbe Bâtons, the basis for
the Magna Charta of the following yea-. '
Near this gateway is the Angel Hote!,
where Sam Weller first encountered Job
Trotter. At the entrance to the churÓ-
yard is a Norman Tower, a real gem and
admirable example of early-Norman work,
executed with an axe and not with a
chisel. just here is St. M-ary's Church,
15th Century, which still has some fine
old glass, and the grave of Mary Tucior,'
sister of Henry VIII.
Madame Taufflieb, wife of the French
Genera] and former. Senateur du Haut-
Rhin, will receive each Sunday in January
and also the first of February at ner
residence in the Rue Leroux. As usua1.
her receptions will be marked by excel-
lent music. Both General and Mme.
Taufflieb have a wide circle of friends on
both s-ides of tlhe Atlantic, and through
their activities in several spheres, their
receptions aiways bring together notalbi-
'■ties in many fields.

THE HAGUE, Jan. 9. — Lifting his

Lobby And Bribery
Campaign Is Charged
By Maine Journalist
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WINTEIR PARK, Fia.. Jan.
Charg-es that the Insull1 interests spent
money freely in a lobby and bribery
campaign to influence members of the
Maine State Legislature in their favor
were ma.de here today by the editor of
the Portland News, Dr. Ernst Gruening.
Dr. Gruening made the charges while
a'daressing the 'Rollins Collé'ge Institute
of Statesmanship. He declared that the
Insull companies had sunk some half
million dollars in a campaign which
ended in failure.
The Insull concerns, which have large
power concessions throughout the State,
endeavored to bri-ng about changes in
the State laws which wouLd secure spe-
cial advantages to tliemselves in an ef-
fort to monopolize Maine water power,
Dr. Gruening, asserted..

Italian Army Continues
Pageantry Feting
Royal Wedding
(Tribune Press Service)
ROME, Jan. 9.—The armed might of
Italy was a&sembled today in the
Parioli Hippodrome to provide further
pantomimic pageantry for Princess Maria
—she's Italian now—and her royal
wedding guests on the day following her
marriage to the Italian Crown Prince.
In a sea of humanity, the Eternal
City's new sweetheart, wearing a salmon
colored hat with a flap over one ear.and
a rich vison fur coat, stood beside Duce
Mussolini, who was in the full uniform
and cocked hat of a Prime Minister, in
the richly ornate tribunal while 25,000
troops of the land, sea and air forces
filed by.
Mussolini and the Princess seemed to
get on famously together.' They laughed
and chatted, and applauded together
when gallant Prince Umberto, Princess
Maria's husband, following the soldier
tradition of the House of Savoy, rode
by on a prancing horse at the head of
his famous 92nd Regiment of Infantry.
He is Colonel of the regiment.

Death Of E. W. Bok
Recalls Remarkable
Rise Of Immigrant
Heart Trouble Brings
Demise In Florida
At Age Of 66
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Edward W.
Bok, immigrant boy who; rose through
years of toil to become one of the
foremost publishers and philanthropists
in the United States, died early today
at the age of 66 at Lake Wales, Fia.
Heart trouble was given "a s the cause
of his death. ~ >-■ :
Fumerai services for Mr. Bpk. will be
held Sunday. He will be buried beneath
"Singing Tower", a carillon on ths
Florida estate which ke dedicated lâ'st
year to the nation as a refuge for
birds.
The career of Mr.., Bok is one of the
New World romances, that of the poor
boy who wins his way to success on
his own ability. He came to the
United States at the age of s;x,
a son of poor parents, and began study-
ing in the schools of Brooklyn. At the
age of 10 he began earning his living,
cleaning a grocer's windows for 50 cents
a week, selling newspapers on Saturdays
and lemonade to commuter.%,
Edward Bok's short schooldays were
not ail happy ones, however, for the
family's poverty after » the emigration
from Holland made their luxuries few.
He and his brother attended the Brook-
lyn school and the boys there bullied
them cru'elly as miserable "Dutchies".
Finally Edward, who was not one to
lose his self-respect, pteked out the gros-
sest of the bullies and knocked him down.
Knew Names' Value.
Mr. Bok's journalistlc gertius, came to
light early, and one of his first innova-
tions, like many of his later ones, is
today sound practice in practically every
newspaiper office. Still in his early 'teens,
Edward began to receive invitations to
parties from friends. He wrote accounts
of them for the local paper and con-

çording to figures made public today
by Prohibition Commtssioner Doran. He
declared that there had been a tremend-
ous . growth tn tllicit corn and sugar

During 1928 the Prohibition Bureau

HOUSE TURNS
ITS BACK ON
CRIME SURVEY
Findings To Be Ignored
Unless Accompanied
By Hoover O. K.
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—-Congress
has turned against President Hoover's
Law Enforcement Commission.
This was indicated today by the atti-
tude of leaders of the House, who have
informed the President that the reports
of the commission, which adjourned to-
day until Feb. 5, will not be acted upon
unless législative proposais based on
them are sent to the House with recom-
mendations from the President that they
be put upon the statute books.
Nor is the House likely to approve a
resolution for a joint legislative commis-
sion on prohibition,, as requested by the
Président. Certainly, it will not be in
the form in which the resolution was
approved by the Senate, where pro-
visions were made for an investigation
and study of the Federal bureaus' con-
nection with prohibition enforcement.
Congress does not want to do any in-
vestigating of prohibition, House mem-
bers up for élection this year do not
want to stir up the subject more than
is necessary. Very few of the drys are
willing to advertise the failures of prohi-
bition .enforcement in the way that Sen-
ator Borah has advertised them.
In fact, a distinct split in the forces
of the drys is discernible-the split be-
ing between the "hollest drys" under
Senator Borah's leadership, and the
"professional" drys, who wish to blink
at the facts about enforcemfint détecta
The Borah group is beginning to recog-
nize that prohibition enforcement is,
thus far, lasrgely a failure.
Ali in ail, Congress itself insists that
President Hoover take the full oresponsi-
bility for any changes made in prohibi-
tion- enforcement as recommended by
the Law Enforcement Commission.

Minister s Are Nominated
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. — Gil-
chr,ist Baker Stockton, of Florida,
has been nominated by President
Hoover to be Minister to Austria, it
was announce¡i today. Abraham
G. Ratshesky, of Massachusetts,
was nominated to be Minister to

District Court Refuses U.S. Citizenship To
Man Who Won't Fight In 'Any And AH' Wars
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 9. — Pro-
fessor Douglas Macintosh, professor of
Theology at Yale University, today lost
his fight in a United States District Court
to obtain United States citizenship with-
out agreeing to fight in "any or ail" of
the wars of this country.
In his pétition for citizenship, tbe pro-
fessor asserted his willingness to pledge
allegiance to the United States, but he
reserved the right to bear arIDS only if
he believed the war was justified.
'John W. Davis, former Démocratie
presidential nominee. will represent Prof.
Macintosh in the United Statea Supreme
Court if the Circuit Court upbolda the
District Court's décision.
Prof. Macintosh is a Canadian 4zd has
been living in the United States since
1904. A number of years ago he filed his
petition for first papers, as he wished to
marry and settle down in the United
States permanently. He is an ardent sup-
porter of paelfism and an advocate of
peace and has expressed his unwilling-
ness to participate in .a war simply be-
cause. in his mind. he declared, rnany
wars are unjustified and could be settled
by arbitration if the nations so desired.
The denial of citizenship to the profes-
sor càused nationwide indignation, with
many pointing out that a civilized Gov-
arnme.nt wouM never deny him papers on
the ground that he would not participate
in war. " It is considered likely that if
Ihia case reaches the Suprême Court he
will win out.

as navies—and embracing the military
strength of ail nations, including non-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Walter New-
ton, one of Président Hoover's secretaries,
today became further involved in the
sugar lobby investigation being staged

don, a sugar expert of the Department
of Commerce, testified before that body

About Conférence
'Peace Ship' Is Given
Great Sendoff At
New York
(Special Cable To The Tribune)
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—The historié
peace ship George Washington, bearing 1
the American delegation to the London
Naval Arms Reduction Conférence, sail-
ed for Europe at 3.30 this afternoon
amid scenes of tremendous enthusiasm
and excitement.
As the £ihip was. about to leave the
dock, Secretary of State Stimson, Chief
Delegate, said:
"We have received from everywhere
expressions of good will and hope for
the success of the conférence. These
have been a great encouragement and
we start out with high hope of being
able to accomplish successfully our mis-
sion." ■ -■
Senator Robinson and Senator Reed
echoed Secretary Stimson's sentiments.
Secretary Stimson and Secretary Adams
are assigned to the "presidential suite"
aboard the George- Washington and the
other members to staterooms. -
Senator Robinson said, "It is my
Personal feeling that the task of the
conference is both important and ddf-
ficUilt. If réduction and limitation of
naval armaments can be arranged. the
resuit will be accepted andi re,.-ard-ed as
advantageous from an économie stand-
point as weiil as from that of interna-
tional peace. It wo'uld be deplorable if
the conference failled, but failure will be
preferable to arrangements consummatîd
through intrigue. I am hopeful of suc-
ce'ssfui recuits." ..
Senator Reed said, "I am sure of the
ultimate success of the conférence.
There is less d'iplomacy exhibited in con-
nection with this conferenica than in
any international meeting herctofore."
As the gaily bedeck&d ship backed
slO'Wly away from her berth, a salvo of
cheers and shouted fareweils arose from
the thousands of person.s who were as-
sembled on the pier and Jined along the
qyay. Their shouts drown&d even the
clamor of th? shrieking sirens frotn
every vessel wi thin sight. On shore
church bells rang. Plags from n&arby
masitheads were dilpped to hono-r the
departure of what is helieved to be one
of the most mormentous délégations
America ever has sent abroadi.

American Delegation Sails For Struggle
With World Intrigue At London Parley
Hope Of Negotiating Real Disarmament
Treaty Seems Meager In View Of
Powers' Attitude Before Parley
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. ;).- With the object of negotiatmg a treaty with
the chief naval powers for the reduction of naval armaments without
sacrificing national security and procuring Anglo-American naval parityr
i Jie American delegation is aboard the steamer George Washington tonight
bound fur London where the conference meets Jan. 21.
It was on this same ship, little more than 11 years ago, that Président
Woodrovv Wilson set forth for the Paris Peace Conférence to write what
ho hoped and believed was to be the charter of permanent peace for ail
mankind.
What with the future of disarmament
movements that is involved in this
parley, the question of national security,
the, ambitions and jealousies of world
powers and the play of world politics
in the negotiations, the conference
promises to be one of the most momen- <
tous events since the World War and
the Peace of Paris.
Predictions are frequently heard that
if this conference should fail, the world
will witness an unprecedented compéti-
tion in navy building'.
On the eve of assembling, the pros-
pects of reacliing conclusions or agree-
ments on navy reduction or limitation by
the five leading Naval Powers—th&
United States, Britain, Japan, France and
Italy—appear none to bright because of
the intransigent position of France to
a disarmament treaty that does not ap-
ply to land and air, as well as sea
defense.
3-Power Treaty Likely.
It now seems more than likely that 1
there will eventuate a three power 1
igreement between America, Great I
Britain and Japan, terminable whenever
Great Britain shàll deem her security
threatened by the French navy-building
program.
Indication5 are not lacking that the
American délégation has already given
up hope of aChieving any reduction in
actual strengt'n of cruise.rs. and has fallBn
back on the possib;lity of procuring a
curtailment of the number of capital
içhips—^iaïtleships--ànd airtiraft carriers,
which are the only categories now re-
striçtëd.'
It is not unlikely that the Powers'
will agree to eut down capital &hip
fleets to the extent of two or three
ships. There also may be a postpone-
ment of battleship replacement for five
years, 'if not a reduction in the size
of capital ships.
Members of the American delegation
aboard the George Washington include
Secretary of State Stimson, Secretary
of the Navy Charles Francis Adams,
Ambassador Dwight Morrow, Senator

4,500 Persons Riot Trying To Enter Hall
For Lecture And Film On Einstein's Theory
(International News Service.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—For the first
time in the history of New York, the
police reserves were called out yesterday
to deal with a riot caused by people
anxious to gain admission to a scientific
lecture.
More than 4,500 . men and women
swarmed outside the American Museum
of Natural History. where a film show-
ing and lecture demonstrating Einstein's
theory of relativity were being given. A
number of enthusiasts, fearful that they
would be excluded because they lacked
admission tickets, rushed the commis-
sionaires guarding the entrance to the
muséum and s.wept into the auditorium,
imperiling a number of totem pales and
walrus tusks and breaking. down a pair
of iron gates which barred their progrese.
Women were trampled upon in the
rush and the assistance of the police was
summoned before order could be restored
and the ticket holders accommodated in
their right places. Officiais of the
museum were amazed at the display of
interest in such a highly scientific sub-
ject as relativity. They showed the film
twice after the police restored order.

: An interesting exposition of p^intings
Kathlryn W. Leighton has just opened
at the Knoedler Galleries here. Mrs.
'Leighton, who is giving this first showing
'in' Francé of !her Redskin subjects, was
born in New Hampshire, but for some
years has made her home in Los Angeles,
«'.where her husband is a well known lawyer.
She spent some time in the Glacier Na-
Itional Park, where she had a chance to
study the Blackfoot Tri'be. in which she,
Lwell as he/husband and her son, were
(adopted, Mrs. Leighton being given :he
name of Anna-Tar-Kee, that is, a woman
of noble spirit. Mrs. Leighton frankly
["• expresses her admiration for the dignity
and heroic qualities of these Indians. In
1927, the Great Northern Railroad com-
missi0ned her to execute a number cf
paintings of the Blackfoot Tribe, and
many American collectors hâve bought
her work. She has a fine flair for color,
remarkable powers of observation, anct
excellent technique. In addition to her
portraits of Blackfoot chiefs, she has also
done su'bjects from the Sioux and t'he
Iroquois,. Among the latter is Chief Big
Tree, who is one of the best Indian
dancers, and has played several leading
rôles in films at Hollywood. Mrs. Leigh-
ton gave an exhibition in London a few
months ago, and is very glad to have r.sr,
work known in Paris. where she visited
recently. Practicajly ail her time is spent
in putting on canv^s these memorials of a
picturèsque race which -finds itself cr^mped
by the onward march of civilization.
R With many British travelers going to
tbe Rivkra. Parié, just now, is a restii1,g
•point. Among notables from àcross'tliè
Channel expected in the capital tomorrow
are Lord and Lady Islington who will be
Aère for several days. Lord Islington 'has
a long record of distinguished service for
his country, having been a Member of
Parliament for almost twenty years; ne
also served in South Africa, was Governor
of New Zealand, and during the war, was
Under-Secretary of State for India. His
country seat, where he spends much time
now, Rushbrooke Hall, an ancient E!tX-
abethan structure with a moat, is three
miles from the historie town of Bury Sr.
Edmunds, with its picturesque 12th Cen-
tury ruins. The village takes its name
from the shrine of St. Edmund, the last
king of East Anglia, who died about 870.
This spot was long a famous center for
pilgrims. The Ilth Century monastery,
parts of which still remain, became one
3of the noblest and wealthiest in England.
Among its many interesting features, one
of the most striking reminders of its im-
portance in these ancient days, is a stone
■fab/et in the wall at the main gate giving
a list of the barons who, in 1214, drew up
the Petition of tbe Bâtons, the basis for
the Magna Charta of the following yea-. '
Near this gateway is the Angel Hote!,
where Sam Weller first encountered Job
Trotter. At the entrance to the churÓ-
yard is a Norman Tower, a real gem and
admirable example of early-Norman work,
executed with an axe and not with a
chisel. just here is St. M-ary's Church,
15th Century, which still has some fine
old glass, and the grave of Mary Tucior,'
sister of Henry VIII.

lent music. Both General and Mme.

ROME, Jan. 9.—The armed might of
Italy was a&sembled today in the
Parioli Hippodrome to provide further
pantomimic pageantry for Princess Maria
—she's Italian now—and her royal
wedding guests on the day following her
marriage to the Italian Crown Prince.
In a sea of humanity, the Eternal
City's new sweetheart, wearing a salmon
colored hat with a flap over one ear.and
a rich vison fur coat, stood beside Duce
Mussolini, who was in the full uniform
and cocked hat of a Prime Minister, in
the richly ornate tribunal while 25,000
troops of the land, sea and air forces

Mussolini and the Princess seemed to
get on famously together.' They laughed

Death Of E. W. Bok
Recalls Remarkable
Rise Of Immigrant
Heart Trouble Brings
Demise In Florida
At Age Of 66
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Edward W.
Bok, immigrant boy who; rose through
years of toil to become one of the
foremost publishers and philanthropists
in the United States, died early today
at the age of 66 at Lake Wales, Fia.
Heart trouble was given "a s the cause
of his death. ~ >-■ :
Fumerai services for Mr. Bpk. will be
held Sunday. He will be buried beneath
"Singing Tower", a carillon on ths
Florida estate which ke dedicated lâ'st
year to the nation as a refuge for
birds.
The career of Mr.., Bok is one of the
New World romances, that of the poor
boy who wins his way to success on
his own ability. He came to the
United States at the age of s;x,
a son of poor parents, and began study-
ing in the schools of Brooklyn. At the
age of 10 he began earning his living,
cleaning a grocer's windows for 50 cents
a week, selling newspapers on Saturdays
and lemonade to commuter.%,
Edward Bok's short schooldays were
not ail happy ones, however, for the
family's poverty after » the emigration
from Holland made their luxuries few.
He and his brother attended the Brook-
lyn school and the boys there bullied
them cru'elly as miserable "Dutchies".
Finally Edward, who was not one to
lose his self-respect, pteked out the gros-
sest of the bullies and knocked him down.
Knew Names' Value.
Mr. Bok's journalistlc gertius, came to
light early, and one of his first innova-
tions, like many of his later ones, is
today sound practice in practically every
newspaiper office. Still in his early 'teens,
Edward began to receive invitations to
parties from friends. He wrote accounts
of them for the local paper and con-

HOUSE TURNS
ITS BACK ON
CRIME SURVEY
Findings To Be Ignored
Unless Accompanied
By Hoover O. K.
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—-Congress
has turned against President Hoover's
Law Enforcement Commission.
This was indicated today by the atti-
tude of leaders of the House, who have
informed the President that the reports
of the commission, which adjourned to-
day until Feb. 5, will not be acted upon
unless législative proposais based on
them are sent to the House with recom-
mendations from the President that they
be put upon the statute books.
Nor is the House likely to approve a
resolution for a joint legislative commis-
sion on prohibition,, as requested by the
Président. Certainly, it will not be in
the form in which the resolution was
approved by the Senate, where pro-
visions were made for an investigation
and study of the Federal bureaus' con-
nection with prohibition enforcement.
Congress does not want to do any in-
vestigating of prohibition, House mem-
bers up for élection this year do not
want to stir up the subject more than
is necessary. Very few of the drys are
willing to advertise the failures of prohi-
bition .enforcement in the way that Sen-
ator Borah has advertised them.
In fact, a distinct split in the forces
of the drys is discernible-the split be-
ing between the "hollest drys" under
Senator Borah's leadership, and the
"professional" drys, who wish to blink
at the facts about enforcemfint détecta
The Borah group is beginning to recog-
nize that prohibition enforcement is,
thus far, lasrgely a failure.
Ali in ail, Congress itself insists that
President Hoover take the full oresponsi-
bility for any changes made in prohibi-
tion- enforcement as recommended by
the Law Enforcement Commission.

fessor Douglas Macintosh, professor of
Theology at Yale University, today lost
his fight in a United States District Court
to obtain United States citizenship with-
out agreeing to fight in "any or ail" of
the wars of this country.
In his pétition for citizenship, tbe pro-
fessor asserted his willingness to pledge
allegiance to the United States, but he
reserved the right to bear arIDS only if
he believed the war was justified.
'John W. Davis, former Démocratie

Macintosh in the United Statea Supreme
Court if the Circuit Court upbolda the

Prof. Macintosh is a Canadian 4zd has
been living in the United States since
1904. A number of years ago he filed his
petition for first papers, as he wished to
marry and settle down in the United
States permanently. He is an ardent sup-
porter of paelfism and an advocate of
peace and has expressed his unwilling-
ness to participate in .a war simply be-
cause. in his mind. he declared, rnany
wars are unjustified and could be settled
by arbitration if the nations so desired.
The denial of citizenship to the profes-
sor càused nationwide indignation, with
many pointing out that a civilized Gov-
arnme.nt wouM never deny him papers on
the ground that he would not participate
in war. " It is considered likely that if
Ihia case reaches the Suprême Court he
will win out.

ficUilt. If réduction and limitation of
naval armaments can be arranged. the
resuit will be accepted andi re,.-ard-ed as
advantageous from an économie stand-
point as weiil as from that of interna-
tional peace. It wo'uld be deplorable if
the conference failled, but failure will be
preferable to arrangements consummatîd
through intrigue. I am hopeful of suc-
ce'ssfui recuits." ..
Senator Reed said, "I am sure of the
ultimate success of the conférence.
There is less d'iplomacy exhibited in con-
nection with this conferenica than in

promises to be one of the most momen- <
tous events since the World War and
the Peace of Paris.
Predictions are frequently heard that
if this conference should fail, the world
will witness an unprecedented compéti-
tion in navy building'.
On the eve of assembling, the pros-
pects of reacliing conclusions or agree-
ments on navy reduction or limitation by
the five leading Naval Powers—th&
United States, Britain, Japan, France and
Italy—appear none to bright because of
the intransigent position of France to
a disarmament treaty that does not ap-
ply to land and air, as well as sea
defense.
3-Power Treaty Likely.
It now seems more than likely that 1
there will eventuate a three power 1
igreement between America, Great I
Britain and Japan, terminable whenever
Great Britain shàll deem her security
threatened by the French navy-building
program.
Indication5 are not lacking that the
American délégation has already given
up hope of aChieving any reduction in
actual strengt'n of cruise.rs. and has fallBn
back on the possib;lity of procuring a
curtailment of the number of capital
içhips—^iaïtleships--ànd airtiraft carriers,
which are the only categories now re-
striçtëd.'
It is not unlikely that the Powers'
will agree to eut down capital &hip
fleets to the extent of two or three
ships. There also may be a postpone-
ment of battleship replacement for five
years, 'if not a reduction in the size
of capital ships.
Members of the American delegation
aboard the George Washington include
Secretary of State Stimson, Secretary
of the Navy Charles Francis Adams,
Ambassador Dwight Morrow, Senator
David A. Reed of Pennsylvania and
Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas.
They will be joined in London by two
other members of the délégation, Am-
bassador Charles G. Dawes and Am-
bas,sador Hugh Gibson.
Accompanying the délégation is a.n-
advisory commission of naval experts
composed of Admirai William V, Pratt,
commander of the United States fleet;'

4,500 Persons Riot Trying To Enter Hall
For Lecture And Film On Einstein's Theory
(International News Service.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—For the first
time in the history of New York, the
police reserves were called out yesterday
to deal with a riot caused by people
anxious to gain admission to a scientific
lecture.
More than 4,500 . men and women
swarmed outside the American Museum
of Natural History. where a film show-
ing and lecture demonstrating Einstein's
theory of relativity were being given. A
number of enthusiasts, fearful that they
would be excluded because they lacked
admission tickets, rushed the commis-
sionaires guarding the entrance to the
muséum and s.wept into the auditorium,
imperiling a number of totem pales and
walrus tusks and breaking. down a pair
of iron gates which barred their progrese.
Women were trampled upon in the
rush and the assistance of the police was
summoned before order could be restored
and the ticket holders accommodated in
their right places. Officiais of the
museum were amazed at the display of
interest in such a highly scientific sub-
ject as relativity. They showed the film
twice after the police restored order.

showery intervals, southwesterly wind,
