The union of baggage porters appear to have singled out Americans for their hold-up tactics. In some intsances passengers, especially unescorted women, have been literally robbed. One American woman recently em- barking on one of the ships flying the American flag gave the porter 40 francs. He demanded that she open her bag and produce more money. Terrorized, the woman unclasped her handbag _and_showed the porter one NAMED AS COLLECTORS. Executors of S. R. Vandegrift Giv- en Appointment by Court.

C, OCTOBER I SEESARMSISSUE HALTED AT GENEVA Little Expecfed From League on Limitation Proposal, Rep- resentative Porter Says. Very little in the way of further limitation of armament will be brought about, at least inthe near future, as result of the views expressed at the present disarmament conference be- ing held at Geneva under the aus pices of the League of Nations, ac- cording to the ophion of Repreesnta- tive Stephen B. Porter of Pennsyl- vania, chairman of the House foreign affairs committee, who was in confer- | ?;ce yesterday with President Cool- ge. Mr. Porter stated that he person ally has some decided views upon the subject of further disarmament, which he said he preferred to postpone mak- ing public until the Geneva confer- ence has concluded its present session. Confers With President. Mr. Porter has recently returned to this country from Europe, and during his conference with the President to- day reported to him his observations upon a variety of subjects, especially those directly affecting the foreign policy of the United States. He told the President of his partici- pation in the sessions of the Inter- parliamentary Union at Geneva, and also expressed the belief that strides are being made in the effort on the part of the member natfons to reduce 7 1926—PART 1 the production and distribution of narcotics. He sald also that while he realizes the mass of French people are criti- cal of the United States because of its insistence upon the payment of the debt France owes this country, he is nevertheless hopeful that this mat- ter. will be satisfactorily settled and an agreement acceptable to the United States will eventually be approved. Many Demand Cancellation. He added, however, that there is widespread propaganda in the interest of debt icancellation, but he feels cer- tain that when the people are all (Il]ly advised they will agree that the claim of the United States is fully justified Mr. Porter said after seeing the President that the next session of Congress will bring up the resolution introduced at_the last sesslon by Rep- resentative Tinkham of Massachu- setts calling for a third Hague con- ference for the purpose of codifying the international law.
