CONFERENCE NEAR END OF SESSIONS Pan - American Delegates Have Only Odds and Ends to Finish Before Quitting. By the Associated Press. Only odds and ends remained today for the Pan-American Conference on Conciliation and Arbitration. Bolivia and Paraguay were apparently as far from war as they were before the first border fight on December 6. Two multi- lateral treaties for arbitration and con- ciliation had been drafted. The con- ference took credit for both accomplish- ments. To the apparently general opinion of those concerned that the conference had done well was added the news that President Coolidge was pleased with its work and felt that a fine spirit was shown by the delegates in reaching agreements, ‘The pacts drafted, regarded by con- ference members as covering a wider field of international disputes than any previously formulated, will have to be | ratified by the governments represented here. Only two exceptions from the prin- ciple of compulsory arbitration are made in the treaties. One would ex- cept disputes affecting the domestic jurisdiction of states and the other con- troversies affecting third parties. However, 13, countries announced that they planned reservations before final approval. These generally would affect disputes whigh began before the treaties were drafted and questions which na- SPECIAL NOTICES.

The United States, Panama, Cuba, Brazil, Peru, Haiti and Nicaragua ac- cepted the treaty without reservations and a plan was provided whereby res- ervations made by other countries might in time be abandoned. Rowe Praises Work. In a statement made today on the general results of the conference, Dr. L. S. Rowe, director general of the Pan- American Union, declared: “The conference, which brings its labors to a close today marks an effort in the history of the relations of the republics of the American continent, and will also constitute a mile-stone n that long struggle for the pacific set- tlement of international disputes in which all the nations of the world are so deeply interested. “The conference has been able to adopt agreements on both conciliation and arbitration which, when ratified and enforced in the spirit in which they were formulated, should eliminate ail danger of armed conflict on the Ameri- can continent. “The results of the conference mean a distinct triumph for the cause of con- structive Pan-Americanism and set a fitting cap-stone to the work of the Havana Conference, which met in Jan- uary last.” B0Y BADLY INJURED IN TRAFFIC MISHAP Brain Concussion Believed Prob- able—Numerous Other Street Accidents Reported.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 5.—Both camps of the Salvation Army were busy yesterday planning strategy in advance of what is already being called the “Battle of Sunbury” which is to begin when the high council of the organization meets at that place next Tucsday. London newspapers said that the fol- lowers of Gen. Bramwell Booth, who faces the possibility of being deposed as- commander-in-chief, have prepared a bombshell to be hurled into the ranks of the reform element, led by Comdr. Evangeline Booth of the United States. Some interpreted this to mean that the general would resign when the council convenes, thus forestalling a vote de- claring him physically unfit to continue in office. But this was not confirmed at international headquarters. One prominent official there said: “If the general has made any such decision, we have heard nothing about Course Seen Nullified. Against the resignation report an official of Miss Booth's party pointed out that this course would veto the general’s right to choose his successor, something to which his family has clung as an inalienable prerogative of the commander-in-chief. The same commentator also argued that a re- signation would throw away the gen- eral's chance of being adjudicated fit to carry on. In the latter event the council would be automatically dis- solved and his nomination of a suc- cessor :ould stand. Another theory as to the of the Gen. Booth faction is mh- tends to make a personal appearance at the Ligh council meeting. Unless, however, his illness has been exag- gerated, such a dramatic move would be unlikely. Some of his supporters, however, admitted that if the council sit_long enough, the general might be sufficiently recovered to attend a .meet- ing if he were summoned to Sunbury. The commander-in-chief is not a member of the high council and there- fore he could address the delegates only by conseni of the council or cn its summons. It was understood that the council would be given a doctor’s certificate next Tuesday describing the nature of the commander’s illness. There was a feeling in reformist quarters that if this certificate is not satisfactory to them, a medical opinion should be obtained from some other source. ‘Would Hold Whip Hand. Should Bramwell Booth be adjudi- cated fit to continue in office, he would have several methods available for checkmating further attempts to change the constitutional method of choosing a leader. Be resigning immediately he would place his nominee at the head of the army. Or he could wait until the councilors had returned to their posts and then resign. By this method he would increase the difficulty of a second assemblage to tackle the question from another angle. Evangeline Booth passed a quiet day at her hotel headquarters after a week of long conferences. Some of these lasted far into the night and were re- sumed early the next morning. ‘The last four American dslegates ar- rived tonight. All delegates from dis- tant parts of the world now are in Lon- don. Councilors from continental Europe will arrive over the week end.

CANTERBURY, England, January 5. —The new Archbishop of Canterbury has embarked on an ambitious admin- istrative policy. Briefly summarized, the popular interpretation of his pro- gram supposes three main planks: That he wiil seek some strong cen- tral authority with power to enforce the rulings of the church. (This may only mean giving “teeth” to the deci- sions of the ecclesiastical courts, for which there lately has been a strong reform agitation.) Wants to Unify Churches. ‘That he will seek to weld the Catho- lic, Liberal and Evangelical elements of the Church of England into one solid group and turn their attention to spreading the Anglican faith throughout the world instead of using up their energy dissenting with one another. That he will seek a modification of the union that now exists between church and state, at least insofar as the present arrangement gives the state authority to dictate to the church in purely ecclesiastical matters, but not so far as to embrace actual disestablish- ment, which is inseparable from dis- endowment. Policy Outlined. His grace does not pass over the troubles which now beset the Church of England. He epitomizes them and his own policy respecting them as fol- lows: “The mission of the Church of St. Augustine is no longer to Kent only, or to the realm of England only, or to the British Empire only, but to the world. “As you thus look out upon ' the world you see the field being every- where cleared for one supreme con- flict. It is not between one form of religion and another. It is between spiritual religion in any form and a material civilization claiming to be self- sufficient. As that civilization ad- vances, ancient religions crumble and fall. There is only one religion which can withstand it—and not withstand only, but redeem—enter and cleanse and claim for God. It is the religion which appeals not to any one age or race, but to man himself—the gospel of the Son of Man. «“Freedom Is License.” “The relations of the church and state which reflected the conditions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries cannot remain unchanged. Some ef- fective principle of authority within the church itself must be accepted if free- dom is not to become license. “If, during this time of transition and difficulty any section or party within the state or the church were to press its claim to the extreme limit not only would the unity of the body be imperiled, but the church would miss for a generation—perhaps for- ever—its chance of fulfilling God’s pur- pose in England and throughout the world.” While Dr. Lang's utterances are merely the expression of his own point of view, his high station in the Angli- can_hierarchy and great influence as a church leader will give them wide effect. They are, in addition to being a statement of his own policy, an in- terpretation of his own attitude toward the religious problems of the day. It is well known that his grace cherishes the idea of an Anglican community which shail not be confined to the British Isles; but which will some day be embraced by the world at large. —_— In China a small fish is bred for fighting purposes.

This morning’s chase started at Sec- ond and Van Buren streets about 5:30 o'clock and ended at Fourteenth and Monroe streets, a circuitous route of more than two miles. Police arrested Norman A. Burch, 30 years old, 1700 Bay street southeast, alleged driver of the car, and Everett Jewell, 26, of Clarendon, Va., on charges of illegal possession and transportation of 228 quarts of corn and breaking glass in! the street. Burch also was charged with reckless driving. Sergt. George M. Little, in charge of the police road squad, accompanied by T. O. Montgomery, George C. Deyoe and Leo Murray, his aides, were the police participants. An automobile of the same expen- sive make as that which figured in this morning’s case was pursued by police of the twelfth precinct several days ago, its occupants dropping glass containers of liquor and eluding the police. This morning, when Little and his men sighted Burch’s car, they reported, it aroused their suspicions. They im- mediately started in pursuit, the oth- er making a turn at almost every in- tersection, and, just after making a turn south of Ninth and Allison streets, while speeding at 55 miles an hour, going over a four-foot coping and nar- rowly escaped overturning. Burch is reported by the police to have quickly righted the car after a case of whisky and can of oil had dropped from it, and resumed his wild ride to the point where he and his com- panion deserted it after it had come near. crashing into a business house. Car and liquor were seized and_turned over to the Internal Revenue Bureau. wures of both legs. The accident oc- curred at North Capitol and P streets as Luitich was crossing. His family ex- plained that he was partly deaf, and this is believed to account for his fail- ure to get out of the way of the on- coming machine. Rum Reported Found. ‘The men under arrest and being held at the second precinct gave their names as Robert Darrall Dixon, 23 years old, of the 1400 block of Third street, and Wil- liam Alfred Rollins, 20, of the 1400 block of Sixth street. Dixon is charged with manslaughter, reckless driving, leaving after colliding with a pedes- trian and_transporting and illegal pos- session of liquor. Rollins is charged with manslaughter and transporting One hundred and sixtcen quarts of corn whisky were reported found in the rear of the automobile. According to Policeman William A. Schotter of the Traffic Bureau, who pursued and arrested the men, they were driving on the wrong side of the street when their car struck Luitich, who was taking his regular evening walk and was returning to his home at 100 I street. Schotter reported to Traffic Bureau officials that a few minuies aiter 8 o’clock last night, while riding his ma- chine east on Q street at Sixth street he sighted a small touring car bearing Dis- trict of Columbia tags ahead of him and going in the same direction. He became suspicious, he said, when the man sitting beside the driver peered through the window behind him as if expecting pursuit. The officer followed the car to New Jersey avenue, where, failing to halt at a “stop sign,” it speed- ed up and shot down that thoroughfare. When the car reached P street Schotter pulled up alongside and just as he did so, he ‘declared, the driver suddenly turned to the left, apparently trying to knock him from his motor cycle. Schotter avoided the collision and continued the chase east on P street, where at the west side of North Capitol street the car struck Luitich, Obeys Command to Stop. ‘Without lessening its speed the ma- chine continued along P street with Schotter just behind until First street northeast was reached, where the driver turned south. As they reached I street the policeman drew his gun and fired several shots at the fugitive car. Then with a burst of speed he pulled up even with the automobile and pointing his gun at the driver ordered him to draw up to the curb and stop. As the driver complied, Schotter leaped from his motor cycle and seized him. Simyltaneously Rollins jumped from the machine and ran. Raymond Goodman of 610 H street northeast, who was walking past, gave chase and overtook the colored man within half Boulevard Apts. a block. He quickly overpowered Rollins and returnad him to the policeman. Schotter in the meanwhile had called 2121 N. Y. Ave. N.W.

SUICIDE IS VERDICT IN POISONING DEATH Government Printing Office Fore- man Died in Hospital Soon After His Arrest. William H. Myers, 50-year-old fore- man at the Government Printing Office, came to his death by his own hand by poisoning, Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt certified last night following an au- topsy. Myers was arrested about 11:30 o'clock yesterday morning in connection with two plates found in his desk sev- eral days ago which were for the print- ing of Baltimore & Ohio Rallroad commutation tickets between here and Baltimore. Myers lived in Baltimore. Myers was arrested by Headquarters Detective Harry Cole. Cole said that the man was extremely nervous when arrested and after he got into the au- tomobile had a violent coughing spell and placed his handkerchief to his mouth. He was seen to swallow sev- eral times. A few minutes later he was seized with convulsions. Cole im- mediately ordered the police machine rushed to Emergency Hospital, where Myers died.
