2 * U5, ARMS PARLEY ROLENOW INDOUBT ‘President Awaits Details of Proposed League Confer- ence Before Deoiding. By the Associated Press The United States Is in sympathy ‘with any effort to reduce armaments, but President Coolidge would like to know more about the exact nature of the conference proposed for that pur- Ppose of the League of Nations As- sembly before considering American participation. Experience at the Geneva prelimi- nary arms conference, which endeav- ored to effect an agreement among representatives of only 18 or 20 na- tiona, ft was said at the White House, hed not been such as to assure such #greements at an even wider discus- sion, with all league members repre- sented. The resolution adopted unanimous- | v by the Assembly provided for the convocation of a general conferenee before next September, unles3 mate- rial difficulties prevent. Warning by Lord Cecil. Lord Cecll, pledging Great Britain to support the gathering, pictured the world as awaiting results anxiously from Geneva. He warned, however, that it would be fatal to call the meet- ing before all artangements were complete, because its failure would be the greatest disaster to the cause of peace since the League’s founding. M. Paul Boncour, for France, an lierr Von Schubert, for Germany, also pledzed the support of thelr re- spective nations to the conference. President Coolidge 1s anxlous to as- sist the Geneva effort, it was empha- sized at thg White House, but ther can be no question of his disappoint- ment over the results of the prelim- inary Arms Conferencé, especially the treatment of naval matters at_the hands of the expert committees. Rep- resentatives of countries which do not possess navies took part in these technical discusslons, and this point has been remarked upon by United States delegates and others during the expert committee seasions. Doubt of U. 8. Participation. There is grave doubt whether America would participate in the gen- eral conference if it will include the discussion of purely naval affairs by representatives of non-navy nations. The United States would not be Mkely to regard such a general con- ference of all powers on navy mat- ters, regardless of whether their naval forces were substantial or small, as calculated to obtain the desired re- sults, the White House made.clear, and the answer of the American Gov- « ernmnt to any Invitation to partici- pate in such a_gathering undoubted- Iy would be affected by this consid- eration.

By the Associated Press GENEVA, September test against the British bombardment of Wanhsien, voiced before the League of Nations Assembly vesterday by Chu Chao-hsin, followed the arrival in Geneva of 50 Chinese students from various European capitals. These students, according to the newspapers today, exercised pressure upon Chu to appeal to the Assembly. His intervention came after the dis- tribution among the league delegates and journalists of a document con- demning the British attitude in China and signed “European delegation of the Kuomintang part: The document said that the League of Nations was proving a great dis- appointment to young China because its most important member, Great Britain, was committing “brutal and barbarous acts,” without the slightest show of interest on the part of the league. Chinese Delegate Rebuked. At the opening of today’s Assembly meeting, President Ninchitch deliver- ed a veiled criticism of Chu for hav- ing aired his protest in the Assembly without previously notifying the president of the nature of his com- munication. Dr. Ninchitch pointed out that the rules of the Assembly obliged the dele- gates to adhere to the subject under discussion and necessitated pre- liminary notice when delegates con- templated introducing any new problem.

Shorey of the Argyle Club and George J. Voigt of the Bannock- burn Club are playing this afternoon a final round in the Bannockburn in- vitation golf tournament. Shorey this morning defeated Albert R. MacKen- zle of Columbia by 2 and 1, overcom- ing MacKenzie's early lead to win, and Voigt clearly showed his supe- riority over P. W. Palfee of Wash- ington, winning by 5 and 4. Although MacKenzie had trouble beating J. B. Murphy of Bannock- burn in the first round yesterda: he had little difficulty with George H. Llesvellyn in the afternoon, and the other semi-finalists had no trouble reaching the penultimate bracket. A feature of the first round was the defeat of Frank Roesch of Washing- ton, the District junior champion, by G. H. Chasmar of Columbia on the last hole. Seven defaults marred the first round, while an unusual number of extra hole matches were played dur- ing the di John T. Money of Argyle secured a hole in 1 during the day, but it did not count, as he played his ball into the wrong hole on the fifteenth, a double green which also serves as the seventeenth. 100 Attend Dinner.

By the Associated Pres CHICAGO, September 25.—The North and Middle West shivered to- day in the swirl of wintry blasts sweeping in a broad southeasterly fan from snow-capped wheat fields on the western (anadian prairies. To the south the cold wave moved down the lower Ohio Valley and into the Texas Panhandle, while the winds that .halted wheat harvesting in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan with a 6dnch snowfall, coursed along the St. Lawrence toward the seaboard. The unseasonable temperatures sent the mercury scurrying downward to unprecedented September levels and brought well below freesing weather to many northwestern points. Apple Crop Suffers. In the American Northwest the wave assumed proportions unparalleled in the meteorological records and threataned extensive damage to apple and other crops in Washington and Oregon. From that area a blighting chill crept over flelds of corn and standing small grain in the Central West, add- ing to the miilions of dollars’ damage from recent heavy rains. In Western plain flelds not reached by snow flurries, killing frosts were spread. Damage to unharvested crops was estimated at $12,000,000. Farmers in Illinois and Towa were spurred to activity in sodden flelds by warnings to recover seed corn from their crop. While Kansas' corn was reported generally heyond the danger point, there was grave fear to the eastward that the cold and frost wind, in maay instances, complete the dam- age begun by a record September rainfadl. ‘Winds of tornado velocity carried the lower temperatures to many re- glons, and central Illinois, weary from three weeks' unceasing battle with floods, watched new rain start streams backing up teward overflow stages. A record low temperature of 20 above was reported from Yakima, ‘Wash., and Baker, Oreg., While the eastern end of the wave had sent the mercury to 47 degrees at Chicago early today. Snow flurries were re- ported in northern Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. The coldest reported spot in the country was Helena, Mont.,, where thermometers read 6 degrees above zero. Ankle-deep snow was reported in parts of the Dakotas, with tempera- tures dropping as much as 40 degrees in a few hours. Slowly rising temperatures were forecast over much of the Middle West today, with cloudy skies and possible thunderstorms. 0il Derricks Felled. PETROLIA; Ont. September 24 (P)—High winds and torrential rains swept this district with hurricane violence yesterday wrecking houses, toppling oll derricks and disrupting telegraph and telephone communica- tion. The storm was the worst the district has ever experienced. In ome of the oil flelds near here, all the derricks were felled. An automobile truck was blown from the highway. . The reports from Winnipeg said the storm, which brought some snow and rain to the prairie provinces dur- ing the last three days, passed east- ward last night, leaving damage that will run into millions of dollars to the unharvested crops in Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. The passage of the storm carried the first snow of the season into West- ern Ontarfo. Port Arthur reported a light snowfall. D. C. PROBERS BEGIN INQUIRY BY QUERIES ON LOCAL TAXATION (Continued from First Page.) | what the law is as such questions arise. Chairman Zihlman of the full Dis- trict committee was Invited to join the informal conference and asked Mr. Rudolph if he favored the bill passed by both houses of Congress in the closing days of the last ses- sfon, but which could not be prop- erly prepared for the President's signature, which provides for a sepa- rate Public Utilitles Commission here. He said that the Commission- ers approved this legislation. Mr. Zihlman asked if the people here paid a detalled tax on intangi- bles and questioned whether there should not be a law to force people to make a return on their intangible property. Mr. Zihlman said he had called attention of the appropriation committee to.two large corporations in the District of Columbia doing a $7,500,000 business, while the District officlals have no way of checking how much of the stock is represented in intangible tax returns. He said he was told by investment bankers that a large ammount of intangible prop- erty is escaping taxation. Delinquent Tax Accounts. Mr. Gibson questioned whether cer- tain States do not require corpora- tions to file their lists of stockhold- ers to be used for taxation purposes. Mr. Reld emphasized that under the system in the District a tax is levied on real estate, on a mortgagor and mortgag~s =n: on credic. 1% also stated that on security put up for a loan a tax is paid by both parties. Mr. Zihiman argued that there should be some system of notifying delinquent taxpayers and consider- able time was devoted to discussion that 18400 pleces of real estate in the District had been sold for delin- quent taxes in 1925. Mr. Rudolph said he had very little sympathy for any one who neglects paying his taxes. Mr, Whitehead in a series of gues- tlons brought out that the local offi- clals lacked power to levy on personal property to pay delinquent real estate taxes, In ofher words, the officials can bring action only ugainst real estate 1o recover taxes due on real estate. Representatives Gibson, mer and Whitehead agreed that this was @ subject the subcommittee i should give th% most serfous consider- ation. Mr. Hammer drew from Commis- sioner Rudolph that the District of- ficials would like authority to exam- ine the books of foreign corporations doing business here for the purpose of checking up on taxes due under the law. — — Oxon Hill Club Elects.

Boyd of San Rafael, Culif., who has returned t> London after a six-week trip into the Arctic. To Miss Boyd belongs the distinc- tion of having been the first woman to set foot upon desolate Franz Josef Land, to which she made the voyage on Roald Amundsen’s old supply ship Hobby. With Miss Boyd were Miss Janet Coleman of San Francisco and Count and Countess Rivadavia, friends of King Alfonso of Spain. From the eightieth degree northern latitude Miss Boyd returned with the peits of 29 polar bears, 6 of which she shot in one day. This, it is co sidered, is enough to turn envious an: Arctic hunter.

That Maryland may soon have a zoning law that can withstand court tests and that the State Legislatura will be ‘asked to enact such a measure particularly to protect and guide the upbuilding of the environs of the ) tional Capital within that State. wa the information yesterday conveyed by the commissién recently appointed by Gov. Ritchle to co-operate with the National Park and Planning Commis sion, to members of the latter body at a luncheon at the Cosmos Club. Maj. U. S. Grant, 3d, expressed the desiré of close co-operation between the members of the Maryland and District planning bodies and in gen eral way outlined the many public improvements that might be gained by concerted action. He told of the proposals of the Capital's planning commission for greater park areas and boulevards. Realization of many of these depends entirely upon co operation with Maryland and restric- tive measures in that State that will protect the natural beauties of the whole suburban area. Cites Maryland Position. Maj. E. Brooke Lee, chairman of the Maryland commission, informed Maj. Grant that residents as well as officials of the State could be counted upon to do everything within their power to further the activities and plans of the National Capital bodv the chief question heing that of jurls diction over proposed general improve ments. Maj. Lee pointed out that the State immediately would Insist upon retaining jurisdiction over territories set. aside under regional improvemer plens, but there would be nothing hinder complete co-operative accom plishment. It was pointed out during the meet ing that Maryland desires to order Ber tremendous growth so that mis takes may not be made in the future and that progress may be along defl nite lines and in conformance to the plans making the National Capit the most beautiful city in the world Cited as an Example. T. Howard Duckett, chairman of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, spoke of the work that that commission was at present do. ing, and Maj. Grant deciared that the success of this body was indication of what might be done in the way of providing for the future by an or- ganized commission. At the coming session of the Mary- land Legislature a measure will be in troduced giving official status to a commission for planning the Mary land suburbs. Both Montgomery and Prince Georges counties, the tw counties of the State most affected by the greater \Washington development plan, would be represented on this commission. As a result of the forma- tion of this body definite progress can be made at an earlier date than other- wise. The duties of a zoning com mission would, maybe, merged with those of a planning commission under one of the number of plans that have been proposed for the organization All plans, however, depend on the action of the State Legislature, which meets in January.

Wales is qualified for membership in the great fraternity of average golfers. He is satisfled when he breaks 100 over a full course.
