Jusgice Wil Prevail. The point is this, whatever agree- ments upon the agenda of the com- ference ame worked out will be not the result of, America feeling com- pelled to agree in order to prevent failure of thwe conference, but be- cause the tenms are righteous and just and carry out the purpose of the conterence. It is recognlzed, it is said, that some other pariies to the conference have even stromzer incentive than the United States to insure against fu ure, in that loss of prestige among the nations wou¥d fall more heavily upon some than upon others. Natur- ally, no such consideration as this finds suggestion in an official way, but is the gossip of the sidelines of the conference. Eager for Results. Genuine desire upon the part of all the delegates to the conferencehto bring the work to good results, is said by prominent men in the con- other at San Pedro, both on the south- | ern coast of California. The only other naval station now owned by the United States in the Pacific which is capable of handling a capital ship i dry dock is at Pear} harbor. in Hawail 2,100 miles from San Francisco. Alm at Greater Eficiency. It is the expectation of naval experts in attendance upon this conference that smaller navies will make for greater efficiency. Lord Fisher, one of the most progressive of the recent | naval leaders of England. said just " after the war that Engiand could scrap half her navy and still have a better one than if she maintained the whole, and this is the theory of the experts relative to the navies.which this conference will agree upon. They are to be purely defensive navies, maintained in the highest state of efficiency. but reduced to such a size . that aggreasion against another power ! across wide oceans will be too hazard- * ous to risk. By reason of their small- aness, however, the necessity of pro- viding them with every faeility for: defense is increased in proportion. While Japan and the United States may discuss the subject of the future olicy of the United States in the hilippines, and Japan may question the fortification of Guam, regarded by many Americans as an outpost of Hawaii, there will hardly be any question raised in the conference on the subject of mainland defenses and naval facilities. Japan is adequately port to a larger body—probably the eastern council of nations. Other in- tricate problems that cannot possibly be settled at Washington and require further study and examination will be left to commissions, which in turn would report to a conference of pow- ers.

We must keep step on the side of th right as well as they make advances along the mistaken lines.” Other addresses were delivered by A, H. Briggs, on *Reaching Outside Agencies”; b: J. Davis, on “Uu-to- Date Poaters and Literature for Law and Order”; and by Samuel Wilson, While the facilities on the Pacific coast are such that it is possible to make ordinary repairs, provided there is ample time to make them, they are not equipped for emergency purposes, neither are they adequate to take care of the whole American fleet if it should ever be assembled on that cdast for defensive reasons. Thus far the Navy has been discouraged in its endeavor to build up its Pacific coast stations, both by Congres and by the public, but the fact remains that one coast is entitled to as much protec- tion as the other. and with a navy reduced to defensive proportions this fact will be a matter of greater im- ortance. hereafter than it has ever been before.

C,, December 2.— Depressed because of a charge made against him alleging mistreatment of his daughters, Thomas Cox, fifty years old, yesterday caused a sensation i recorder’s court here when he at- tempted to commit suicide. Cox at- tempted to end his life by butting his head against a_railing in the courtroom.
