DEDHAM, Mase, November 65— Judge Webster Thayer tonight de- nounced from the bench as a bold at- tempt to interfere with the administra- :stion of the law messages he had received ““from all parts of the country urging & .new trial for Nicola Sacco and Bar- G tholomeo Canzettl, convicted of a double “Cmurder at South Braintree, last year, zsand the subjects of radical demonstra- “Itions in two hemispheres. In his chambers, Judge Thaver pre- 3iviously had characterized telegrams and letters from organisations and individ- ‘ouals, urging him to grant Sacco and >Vanzetti a retrial, as one of the boldest lisattempts to influence a ocourt in the _history of Massachusetts.

Wiley, Washington noted chemist and pure food expert, who underwent an operation yesterday for the removal of a cataract of the right eye at a hospital here, was re- ported tonight much improved. The operation was sald to be highly suc- cessful and Dr. Wiley is getting along well, Dr. Vail, who performed the operation, states. It will be necessary for Dr. Wiley to remain in Cincinnati for at least two weeks before he will be able to return. WILL EXPLAIN NEED FOR ADDED FUNDS Commissioners to Tell How Police Are to Use $50,000 Asked. The Commissioners will go before the House appropriations committee tomorrow morning to explain the sup- plemental estimates for the current fiscal year ment to Congress a few days ago. They also wili outline to the committee how the police depart- ment will expend the $50,000 being sought to give proper protection to the hundreds of foreigners who are here for the arms conference. Although Congress abolished the half-and-half plan of appropriating for the District two years ago, the Commizsioners have asked that this $50,000 for the arms conference be authorized on the time-honored fifty- fifty ba. Neded for Natlon's Guests. Commissioner Rudolph explained last night that the board decided to ask for the police fund on that basis instead of the new ratio of 60-40, because of the fact that this money is needed to serve and protect guests of the nation. The outstanding item in the esti- mates to be oonsidered tomorrow is for an additional allotment of the authorized appropriation for the Gal- linger Hospital and for a supple- mental @bpropriation with which to complete the proposed municipal lodging house. George S. Wilson, secretary of the board of charities, said last night that the lodging house, if erected, would accommodate 100 men and would have separate quarters for youths who might have to take ad- vantage of it. Construction Cost Brings Delay. Congress before the war ro- priated $40,000 for the lodging house and $10,000 of that sum was spent for the purchase of a site on Louisi- ana avenue near 6th street north- west. The war came on and the Commissioners found they could not erect the building with ‘the remain- Ing $30,000. Accordingly the plans were held up until now. The Com- r‘r&lalloneru are seeking an additional The estimates also include a re- quest for $4,000 for the operation of the surveyor's office, which amount was cut from the appropriation bill for the cujrent fiscal year just be- fore it w: passed.

Iibers The dominions, as well as Great Bri- tain, are represented among the Brit- ish delegates, and New Zealand, being a Pacific island, is interested in the problems of the far east and has sent representatives who have practical experience and a wide understanding of the problems to be discussed. Sir John Salmond is the official dele- gate from New Zealand. He is consid- ered throughout the British empire one of the leading authorities on jurispru- dence, and his books upon the subject have been translated into several h‘mg- uages.

By Wireless to the Assoclated Press. ON BOARD THE STEAMSHIP LAFAYETTE, November 5.~The French government Is prepared to deal not only with the Pacific ques- tions and naval armaments, but to expose in a most complete manner the considerations which require France to maintain suflicient forces for her security. This attitude was re-emphasized to- day by Premier Briand, head of the| French delegation to the Washington conference on limitation of armament and far eastern problems, which is now on the way to participate in that gathering. In conversation with newspaper correspondents on board the steamer, the premier dealt ex- tensively with the fundamental bases of the conference which have been the subject of searching examination by him, both before leaving Paris and | since the Lafayette has been plowing toward America. In several previous conversations re- garding the various problems to be dis- cussed in Washington, gigremier Briand has laid particular emphasis on his be- lief that the conference should have {important results for America, Europe and Asia. Deep Probe Necessary. The primary purpose of the American government, he said today, may have been to deal with Pacific questions— hat is, to come to a clear understand- ng over the political aspects of the Pacific problems—and, when these were satisfactorily defined, to arrive at a eor- responding formula for the limitation of naval armaments. But with r. the American government's later lul- gestion that land armaments be - in- cluded on the agenda, the French premier added, that it must be remem- bered “‘that in order to arrive at a solu- tion of that question, the political prob- lems of Europe, which decides the military strength of military establish- ments, must also be examined atten- tively.” The members of the French delega- tion, he said, would, as occasion arose, present every fact in order to give a complete presentation of the situa- tion. M. Briand remarked that France had a great position brodering on the Pacific. “Our magnificent colony of Indo-China,” he said. “is full of pros- | perity. Its coast line is as long as the coast line from San Diego to Seat- tle. If drawn in a straight line, it would extend as far as from Chicago to New Orleans.” Besides, he sald, France has her colonies on the main- l1and of Asia. numerous islands, New Caledonia, with its dependencies; the Isle of the Pines, Loyalty Islands, Chesterfleld Islands, more than 100 islands in the Society group and in the Marquesas archipelago. He. empha- sized that every aspect of the Pa- cific question was of deep interest to France, which was developing her col- onies, even though she had not yet recovered from the enormous injuries’ done to her northern departments dur- ing the war. -Pacific Problem Very Broad. The Pacific problem, as H. Briand: understands it, includes the varying conception of interegts among the great powers who have possessions in the part of the world or whose coun- tries border on that ocean. He sai the purpose of the conference in that respect was to find a conception large enough to include the interests of all the nations concerned, and to find a definition that would be acceptable as a permanent principle of policy for each of them. “The French delegation,” said he, ‘goes to Washington with & desire to assist wholeheartedly in finding this conceptlon; because, unless it is found, hopes are likely to be disturbed by the recurrence of controversies and differences of views susceptible of leading to grave conflicts.” It was evident, said the premier to- day, that unless this common under- standing could be found, no country |of concerned would be willing to limit its means of protection on the sea. He said France had identical trade interests with those of the United States, and a need for marine securi- ties. The French government, he added, desires its delegates to discuss with the utmost frankness every question which comes up in the con- ference, including questions that may concern either the Pacific or the relations of France in Europe. France Needs Ald of U. 8. “I want to avoid the reiteration of old phrases,” he declared, “as well as the placing of ‘too much signifi- cance upon past relationships. ~But we know in France, as you think you know in America, that no rlvnl- tional interests. Ties or real differences of opin could arise between our people in lhn future any more than they have in the past, and that the two nations can work together for the future.

The assassination of Premier Hara will result in no change in Japan's attitude toward the conference on limitation of armament and far easet- ern questions, Baron Shidehara, the |Japanese ambassador, sald yesterday. In a formal statement, the ambas- sador declared that Hara's work in shaping Japan's attitude toward the approaching conference was destined to prove of great benefit to mankind. A great and good man had been taken from Japan at a time when he could least be spared, he said, adding that to carry forward the pacific policy to which the late premier had been com- mitted would now be a just and worthy tribute to his memory. Senate Expresses Regret. A resolution expressing regret over 1 i i {ed yesterday by the Senate, upon mo- tion of Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts, the republican leader. The reso- lution directed the Vice President to express condolence to the Japanese government and Japanese representa- tives here for the armament confer- ence. The fact that the assassin was one of their own people has tended to confirm, in the opinion of Japanese here, apprehension of the existence of a political and social unrest of which the attack on Mr. Hara ap- pears to have been an expression. Late information from Tokio that the assassin is the gon of a former Samurai, recalls to Japanese one of the most romantic and dramatic epochs of Japanese history. In the ancient feuda! days before the im- perial restoration of Samural, “two- | sworded warriors.” as they were [often callzd. were all powerful | throughoug the empire. Their train- {ing and eode of honor showed a striking similarity to the European nobility and gentry during the middle ages. Obcdience to their foudal superiors even until death was f their watchword. It was birth and breeding that counted, not money. Became Itinerant Idlers. The Samurai lived in the castle of their Dalmyo, and received from him | rations for himself and family. Gradually with the disappearance of chivalry ‘the Samurai were dismissed by their lords, and they became itinerant idlers. Therefore they be- came known as “Renin” which literally means “wandering people.” Their descendants have retained their pride in their ancestors, but they have no privileged social status in Japan. Many of them have fallen into great migery, and they have in- herited wandering unrest from their forefathers. Many of the younger have turned their attention to politics, and are known as political malcontents. It is understood that the disturbed political situation in China is caus- ing considerable disquietude to the Japanese delegation. The impotency of the Peking government in enforc- ing its authority throughout the lynd where provincial governors backed by their own troops are struggling for power makes the general situation difficult of solution. The Japanese attitude is described as being that the extension of world commerce in China depends primarily upon the establishment of political and mili- tary unity in China. But Japan, it is pointed out, will not be disposed to suggest at the conference any meas- ure of international -interferehce which would be regarded by the Chi- mese as a violation of their sovereign rights. Shantung Question Open. Japan will accept at the confer- ence, it is also understood, a discus- sion of the Shantung problem, but it does not anticipate, nor would it ac- cept, the thrusting upon Japan of any Shantung decision by the con- ference. Japan, it is averred, still hopes to settle the question directly with China. The troops will be withdrawn from Siberia, it is fur- thermore intimated, as soon as satis- factory assurances are received from some responsible Siberian or Russian government that Japanese lives and property will be protected. The likelihood that the American 87,339 | emigration question and the general question of racial equality will not be brought up by Japan at the con- ference seems to prevail in re- sponsible Japanese circles. —_— ¥es!

Tre suggestion might have been {carried in an oficial prociamation, but for the Comissioner’s helief that an informal reminding of Washingto- nians of this opportunity to honor those who died for their country would be equally as effective.

Ferguso ——— SOLDIER BONUS BILL KILLED IN SENATE AS RIDER ON TAX (Continued from First Page.) charged that the republicans were proposing to take the tax “off the profiteers.” “You're putting the profiteers in the front rank mow,"” he said, “and the soldiers in the rear.” In reiterating a statement that the Reed amendment was unconstitu- tional, because he said it proposed to tax one class of people for the benefit of another, Senator New, republican, Indiana, said this opinion had been sustained by high legal authority. The written opinion of this authority, whose name was withheld, was put into the record. Senator McKellar, democrat, Ten- nessee, announced that if the Reed amendment was voted down he would offer an amendment proposing the re- funding of the debt owed this country by foreign nations and the use of $2,000000,000 of the interest in defray - ing the cost of adjusted compensation. He discussed his proposed amendment at length. McCumber Hits Amendment. Senator McCumber, republican, North Dakota, announced his opposi- tion to attaching the bonus measure to the revenue bill. Referring to the Reed amendment, he declared that he had “too much respect for the bonus measure to tie it to a corpse.” “A soldiers' bonus bill will be passed independent of the tax measure,” Sen- ator McCumber said, adding that “on tho adjustment of the foreign loan hangs the fate of the soldiers’ bonus.” The President’s recent address to the Senate on the subject, he said, had made it clear that the executive was “waiting on the funding of the foreign loan to pay the bonus.” Republicans Accused. Senator Jones, democrat, New Mex- fco, accused the republicans of at- tempting to delay the bonus “until in the sweet bye-and-bye most peo- ple will have forgotten about it.’ Senator Kenyon, republican, Jowa, announcing that he would support the Reed amendment or any other ‘reasonable plan for a soldiers’ bonus,” said that those in the Senate who advocated a bonus were re- garded as demagogues, those who Fried to do_anything for the farmer were regarded as demagogues and that those who tried to anything for_labor were Tewarded as dema- Bogues. “The way not to be a dema; gosue.” he added, “is to vote to take the tax off of goif balls, furs and Axioas prof- its. Do that and you lmmedintelv be- come a great statesman.” Speed on Tax Expeeted. The onus _issue disposed of. leaders both sides expect rapid progress to be made on the tax re- vision bill, with possible passage of the measure torsorrow night. Should the tax bill be passed by the Senate tomorrow it would not reach the House until Wednesday, as that body adjourned yesterday until that time. Leaders there plan to take it up Thursday, with & view of having it sent to conference. Meantime, however, & group of re- publican representatives from we: ern states have started & movement looking to a vote in the House to in- struct the conferees of that body to accept the 50 per cent Income surtax substituted by the Semate for the House maximum of 32 per cent. Six representatives signed a c | ! | to amend the rule, stated, was expected to be offered i send the bill to conferemce.
