In each case, he said, the operators were given 30 to 60 days in which to make the necessary changes.

Connors quietly slipped out of Bis- marck Tuesday in a second-hand Buick car which he purchased from @ local dealer for cash. His disap- pearance, the fact that he paid cash for the car, together with a state- ment by Finlayson that he rode from Mandan to Bismarck with the Negro the night the money was taken, led police to believe Connors had.a part in the money's disappearance. Meanwhile, no disposition has been made of the case against Velma Hos- kins if Dows, Ia., and Sena Hess of Minden, Neb., io are held in the Morton county jail on a charge of grand larceny in connection with the same theft. ‘The two women were arrested here Sunday by Chief of Police W.

Attempts were under way to assure house action. President Roosevelt was reported in favor of the move, coming as it does at a time when the Italo-Ethiopian situation is posing grave questions He European governments in partic- ar. Stirred into action by ominous war signs abroad and a filibuster, the senate speedily endorsed the foreign Telations committee resolution, rep- resenting ® compromise between a more drastic program advocated by the special munitions investigating committee headed by Senator Nye (Rep.-N. D.) and the state depart- ment attitude. The resolution provides: Bars Arms Export A mandatory embargo on exports of arms, munitions and impiements of war to all belligerents in a foreign conflict. A system of licensing munitions manufacture and export as a perma- nent policy of this government, along the lines of the Geneva arms treaty of 1925, ratified earlier in the session by the senate.

Except for a few questions put to Chairman Pittman of the foreign re- lations committee and a brief speech by Senator Borah (Rep., Idaho) de- claring the resolution should have gone farther and absolutely prohibit- ed American citizens traveling on belligerent ships, there was no de- bate.
