S. When Latter’s Pro- posal Is Received. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicazo Daily News. Copyright, 1 PARIS, December 30.—France con- siders the war outlawry pact draft submitted by the United States three weeks ago not strong enough, and has just presented the American Gov- a new French draft, which is considerably more inclus: Neither text has been revealed, but it is known that the American draft, while it mentioned the outlawry of war in the preamble, devoted its prin- cipal clauses to arbitration arrange- ments, excluding questions of national honor and vital interests; that is to say, applying arbitration only to minor differences, and this at the discretion of either party. Freedom of Seas Involved. The writer is informed that Foreign Minister Briand, when he saw this Ameriean interpretation of his pro- 1 for outlawing war, exclaime I\¥hat have they done to my child? 1t is believed here that American reluctance really to outlaw war and | make an obligatory arbitration treaty |is based on considerations of freedom of the seas. It is thought the United States fears that in case of a Eu- | ropean war involving France or other powers which might later make pacts on the French model, these European immune from pos- the United States, might take blockade measures against | powers, feeling ineutral American shipping contrary to the American conception of inter- national law. Naval Parley Similar, Tt is believed here that the present Anglo-American naval disagreement is due to the same underlying cause on both sides. The writer is informed that the British government, after’ meditating a proposal to the United States to ad- vance by two years—that is to say, 10 1929—the new naval conference which the Washington agreement provides must be held by 1931, have decided for the present to make no further moves whatever, lest, in case the new negotiations should fail, the present eituation might merely be aggravated.

George Remus, former “king of boot- leggers,” today was condemned to the State hospital for the criminal insane at Lima as “insane and a dangerous person to be at large.” It was just a week since he cheated the electric chair when a jury found him not guilty of the murder of his wife on the sole ground of insanity. The decision was handed down by Judge Willlam H. Lueders of the Hamilton County Probate Court, who spoke in unmistakable terms, despite the finding of three alienists, who sat with him in advisory capacities, that Remus is “sane.” Called Dangerous. OILLAW CHANGES ‘The alienists, who had no part In the final decision, supported it with this elaboration of their finding that Remus technically is sane: “We also find that aid George Remus is a psychopath, and therefore a dangerous individual to be at large. ‘We believe that he is a dangerous psychopath because he is immoral, lacking a sense of ethics, emotionally able, being subject to unre- strained outbreaks of temper and rage, and egocentric to a pathological degree. ‘The decision followed by two days a one-day test of Remus’' sanity, made mandatory by his acquittal. Remus was not in court to hear the decision, but was represented by | Charles H. Elston, who was associate counsel with Remus in the murder trial Remus Laughs in Cell. Elston turned an ashen gray when Judge Lueders reached the final para- graphs of his decision, after reading through two long typewritten page Newspaper men rushed to Remus in his jail cell on the same floor as the Probate Court. He accepted the finding with a harsh laugh, but calmly. “Is that €0?" he asked. “Well, well.” He thought a moment, and then added: The decision is so farcical, such a Joke that it makes a sane person laugh. It is so humorous.” Elston immediately planned an ap- peal to the Court of Common Pleas, PUT UPTO CALLES 2o Friends of Gov.

Employes to Work Full Time New Year Eve. Federal and District government employes are not to be excused from their duties tomorrow, because of New Year eve, but they will have a full- day holiday Monday. President Coolidge, in declining to issue an order relleving the employes from work tomorrow, even for only half a day, explained that he does not look upon the day preceding New Year in the same light that he does Christmas eve. He contends that a holiday on the day preceding Christ- mas permits the employes to do thelr Christmas shopping and makes it pos- sible for many of them to make the Jjourney to their homes away from the city in"time for Christmas. According to his viewpoint no such@ condition prevails regarding New Year eve. The holid Monday is made possible by an act of Congress which creates a holiday on the day following a holiday, when the latter falls on Sunday.
