Pending Cruiser [ill Action Washington, Feb. 16—(?)—Reports that another naval armament limita- have takcn shape with the announce- ment by Sir Esme Howard, British ambassador, that his government Plans to take the initiative toward such a conference. The United States and Japan are both believed to favor an armament parley. The Washington government has received no direct word from Great Britain. Word has gone out that the United States is maintain- ing its traditional attitude of readi- ness to participate in such a move- ment. ‘Will Propose Conference It is thought that the British gov- ernment will propose @ preliminary conference ‘to prepare for the 1931 Perley when phases of the agreement reached at the Washington confer- ence 'in 1921 come up for review. The number of capital ships and_ their tonnage and armament were limited at the 1921 meeting. The tonnage of cruisers was also limited 10,000 tons each and their maximum arma- ment was limited to an eight-inch gun but no restriction was placed on the number of cruisers to_be built by each nation. It is believed that at the next con- ference a determined effort will be made to limit auxiliary ships and to arrive at a different method of com- paring fleet strength other than by tonnage figures and gun calibre. Sir Esme explained that his gov- ernment had not indicated its atti- ised | tude heretofore because the bill au- thorizing 15 cruisers and one air- craft carrier was pending before ¢on- Hgreus.He dectared> that that this bill had become a Jaw that there was reason to believe: “A further ef- fort before long will be made to reach an agreement between the principal naval powers of the world for the lim- itation of naval armaments.” Uncle Sam Favorable He called attention to the favorable attitude of the United States in the Past toward such a conference and said the League of Nations made it mandatory on league members to take further steps toward armament imitation. He declared there a) peared a much better prospect of su cess than at the Geneva conference in 1927, which ended in failure. Just how soon England will make definite proposal with a conference in view is uncertain because of the English elections which come in the summer. Sir Esme intimated that this might postpone open discussions so far as his was concerned for some months. | BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, S. Though Lieutenant Harry Johnson, left, and ‘Captain A. W.

They were the spies, police said, the “spotters,” the advance men for murder. Two women and a man living across from the garage where the gang massacre took place made the identification. From a score of pho- tographs they picked three which they said were of men who had rent- ed rooms overlooking the garage— rooms which they occupied during a period of days immediately preced- ing the assassinations. Harry and Phil Keywell, brothers, and Eddie Fletcher were the three whose pictures were identified. The prospect of early and definite Police action was overshadowed by several sensational aftermaths of the crime, Reporters Beat Police For one thing, George ‘(Bugs) Moran was found, not by authori- ties but by newspapermen. The sev- en who were slain were Moran mobs- men. For another, a fiery shaft of cen- sure and warning was shot by State's Attorney John A. Swanson at the law enforcement agencies of Chicago and Cook county. The state's attorney told Police Commissioner Russell, other high po- lice officials, sheriff's officers and county police their departments were to blame for the gang massacre. Those murderers, he said, and the list of unsolved ones that pi committed it, were Toleol Tt was followed: by swift action. The police set out to make Chicago bone dry for the first time since pro- hibition. Issues Closing Orders Shortly after midnight a sweeping order went forth from Commission- os jet, Russell’s office. All police cap- tains were instructed to “close and keep closed all gambling houses, vice resorts, soft drink parlors, speakeas- ies, beer flats and any place where alcohol is handled.” ‘ against politico-criminals and assistant state’s attorney, dropped blame for the Moran mob massacre on the city hall doorstep. The li- censing of 7,000 soft drink parlors in Chicago, he said, has the approval of city officials “who knew that the applicants were men who would sell liquor.” TThe Loesch statement pdralleled the comment of his chief to police officers. The state's attorney had said that “there is no such thing as a soft drink parlor.” George (Bugs) Moran, who left a hospital only a few day: an attack of influenz: the Al Capone gang.
