" ENVOYS AT 000§ ON ARMS QUTPUT Fail to Reach Agreement onj Manufacture at Geneva Conference. Br the Associated Press. GENEVA, Switzerland. December 7.— The latest effort to reach an agreement on control of the manufacture of arma- ments has failed The delegates to a special commis- wion which began its sessions on Tues- day left Geneva last night, announcing they were urable to agree on the text of a draft convention and will be obliged to report to the Council of the League of Nations at its forthcoming meeting in Lugano that the present situation did not justify convocation of an inter- | national conference. Progress was achieved, but further sessions of the commission of experts will be necessary Unexpected _difficulties with the introduction by the Belgian delegates of a new classification of armaments which affects all other ar- ticles of the draft convention This will require new study by technicians. Furthermore, no accord was achieved on the primal problem of publicity for the figutes on both governments and private manufacturers of armaments. France and Italy held out for only part publicity on the armaments manufac- tured in state arsenals and dockyards. They expressed belief that this ques- tion could be handled effectively only at a general conference for the reduc- tion of armaments. HUGHES HITS BAR IN ROLE OF TEACHER @ays Lawyer Using Verbiage in Brief Gives Bench “Rude Awakening.” By the Associated Press NEW_ YORK Decembér 7.—Charles Evans Hughes, former justice of the United States Supreme Court, told the Federal Bar Association last night that lawyers are endeavoring, by using in their briefs “all the words the traffic will bear,” to teach the law to judges. ““The lawyer today,” he said at a din- ner, “is prone to believe that the fasci- nation of his brief will lead the judge from page to page with all the lure of the latest thriller. We have had a rude awakening.” Many of those present understood Mr. Hughes to be referring to the re- cent order of the Supreme Court to counsel for the Interborough Rapid ‘Transit Co., the New York Transit Commission and the City of New York to rewrite their briefs in the 7-cent fare case and omit all extraneous mat- ter. ‘Telling his hearers that “the Federal Oourts in this country are unpopular,” Mr. Hughes added that “the ho of justice in this country lies not with the ury, but with judges who are able to administer their high duty in a way which epitomizes the highest ideals of Jurisprudence.” MAN ADMITS FRAUD.
