EARLY NAVY MEET HELD UNLIKELY U. S. and Britain Seek fo Avoid Failure by Exten- sive Preparations. B the Aseociated Pre LONDON, June 29. been thrown on expectations of an im- mainent conference of the naval powers on disarmament and naval reduction. Some quarters had been led to be- Tiev ¢, Premier Ramsay MacDonald and Ambessador Hugh 8. Gibson, in initiating conversations on the subject A damper has | | | | that prompt actions of Ambassador | implied an early call for a meeting cf | ihe nations. Both in news dispriches from Wash- ington and in a speech last night by | Premier MacDonald, however, there was | case and that would be undertakén before a call fi 1y is issued for a conference. Preliminary Work Necessary. The Washington dispatches inferred | an administration view that the Unite States was not going to be party to an | immediate conference on naval disarm- | ament, begun without necessary pre- liminary work. It was understood this viewpoint has been transmitted to the British gove: ment, although there was no direct as- sertion by Premier MacDonald to indi- | cate his speech was made in answer to it. The Promier said that despite. con- | stant work in the direction of peace “we | are not going into a peace conference | without such preliminary preparation as | will avoid the faflure of 1927. | “Every minute of cur time is now be- | ing cevoted to this preparation which. | when it is accomplished, will give you | a sense of national and international | nal- Risks to Be Taken. He warned that peacemakers must take risks as well as war makers. “I| am banking on the risks of peace rather than the risks of war. “We want to present to you a nation | which has been wise enough to take the | risk of peace, because I know that the nation which will take the risk of peace will get peace, just as in the past the nation which took the risk of war got war.” CONCERN FELT HERE. Is Against Premature Naval Dis- armament Conference. The rapid development of naval dis- armament discussions gbroad is arous- | f*‘al circles here Ladait ing some concern in o lest an international cofference on the | subject be brought about before ade- quate preparatory work has been done. A suggestion that the question of re- duecing sea armament be approached with caution has been advanced to the ‘British government by the Washington administration. The latter has long held the view, despite its known desire to see the nb)ecn\'e attained, that likeli- hood of failure might be increased if . a conference were called before the laborious task of working out all pos- sible preliminary details had been com- ted. It is known here that Prime Minister MacDonald is eager to take steps to- ward world-wide disarmament, and that | the United States has been sounded out informally for its attitude on a con- ference of the naval powers. Such a conference would melud [United States, Great Dritain, nnee and Italy, and the mue-t it might be arranged either lepanu ffom the League of Nations Preparatory | Disarmament Commission or under the | League machinery. ‘Ambassador Dawes, who has taken a leading part in the discussions in Lon- don with Prime Minister MacDonald and diplomatic representatives of the | other governwients interested, has no| authority to indicate unqualified ap- proval of an immediate conference on behalf of the United States, and Secre- tary Stimson has made it clear that nothing_definite regarding future pro- | &edum has come out of the conversa- jons. VANISHED RACE SOUGHT ON ISLAND IN LAKE; COPPER IS TO BE CLUE (Continued From First Page.) the type of exhaustive survey now te_undertaken. Isle Royale, 45 miles long by 0 miles | wide, is shaped like a battleship steam- ing in a northeasterly direction with | smaner islands like destroyers crumnp at its bow. It lies 55 miles north of | Keweenaw Point and 18 miles south oll the Canadian shore. More than 3,000 moose roam the is- | land. Caribou haunt the underbrush | and marshes of the interior. The streams that rush down like, miniature torrents from the long ridge that Hnes“ %C0 feet above the level of the lake are the homes of the beaver and the mink. ‘The 47 lakes on the island teem with | fich and the brooks with the brilliant- hued brook trout. Despite the years of commercial fish- ing off the isiand reefs, the waters of | the great bays that stretch like Nor- | wegian fjords between rocky walls are | alive with the celebrated pink-and- white-fleshed lake trout. But it is not so much as a sports-| man's paradise that the island holds its greatest attraction for university scien- tists. It is rather because there they | hepe will be found the answer to many puzzling questions. | Island Has 15,000 Pits. i Undismayed by the faflure of others, ! the archeologists of the party will fn-] spect every cave and rock shelter, every pit and mine dump which holds any promise at all, in their search for some relic that will heip to identily the pre- historic miners and perhaps link them indisputably with the mysterious race of mound builders. It has been estimated that the island centains at least 15,000 pits bearing evi- dence of ancient mining operations. Fire was built on the trap rock and the matrix was cracked by a sudden flooding with cold water. Mounds of broken hammer stones or pounders of a diorite or porphyry, native to the Mirn- nesota shore, indicate that they were brought in quantities to the mines, to be used in freeing the copper, and were discarded when they became too chipped to be useful. Of the thousands of these stones to be found not one was discov- ered undamaged. One scientist has estimated that, working so slowly, at least 10,000 men laboring for 1,000 years would be neces- sary to produce this scarring of the rock. Island copper, like no other in the world, is distinguished in its native state by flecks of pure silver. Tools and ornaments bearing this unques- tioned mark of origin have been found in mounds in nearly every State and as far south as the Gulf. ‘Apparently this strange race vanished as suddenly as it came.

TRAFFIC ARRESTS SHOW BIG INCREASE IN SAFETY CAMPAIGN (Continued From First Page.) idents will be materially decreased by the more efficient method of handling ibe men which is possible when they ' work out of his office as a single unit, Inspector Brown is planning o con- tinue his campaign for rigid enforce- ment of all traffic regulations in an. ef- fort to reduce the number of traffic ac- cidents, but he does not ex ihe arrest totals to increase materially. ‘The motor cycle men in the special trafic squad are making particular ef- forts to apprehend speeders, believing that thess violators are responsible for more accidents than any others. ‘The records at the Traffic Bureau show that arrests for speeding are numerically far in the lead of all the more serious offerses. The records also show that nearly all serlous ac- cidents can be traced to speeding or similar carelessness cn the part of one or both drivers figuring in a particular accident. During the past 24 -hours the mem- bers of the special patrol made 121 of the 305 arrests. Police of the first precinct led the precinct arrests with a total of 55. The first precinct also led the others in the number of ar rests made during the preceding pe- riod. Many of these, however, were “for parking violations. 7,000 May Arrests. In support of his claim that the average pumber of arrests has.not in- creased since the special campaign was started three days ago, Inspector Brown pointed out that the total number of arrests during May was approximately 7,000, or more than an average of 200 & aay. ‘The daily figures ranged from a minimum of 195 (0 & maximum of 325. The purpose of the present campaign, Inspector Brown said, is not to make an .impressive number of arrests for | trivial violations, but to apprehend the relatively few motorists who openly flout the regulations and to instill greater sense of caution in all drivers If this can be done, he said, without wholgsale arrests it will be better for all cBncerned. Fatal traffic accidents occur irregu- larly and by spells, Inspector Brown believes, and a decrease in the number of such accidents over a short period be construed to indicate that conditions have necessarily im- proved. He said, however, that Wash- ington’s record in the matter of fatal accidents Is good, Boston being the | only large city 'which has proportion- | ately fewer. 116 Motorists Convicted, A check-up Iate yesterday of Traffic Court records disclosed that 116 mo- torists appeared yesterday and were convicted of traffic violations. This number includes 20 persons who were adjudged gullty by Judge Ralph Given, but released on their personal bonds. A. J. Sanford, financial clerk of the court, said that the number surpassed thlz paat tm:od of lfillgnmemsll:; the midweek per eceived in the financlal3 elerk'a office: yesterday totaled $1,162, but of this amount $376 had been depas as collateral by motorists. Olhn, fl to 1o fell. rat than appear to face cha Pines amounting to $786 were lec(ed ‘The majority of those whn ‘were ar- ned before Judge Given pleaded guilty to the charges which, according to the court, revealed “they are flagrant | violators of the law.” ‘Unless there are mitigating circumstances for the viola- tions the offenders will be severely dealt wtih, Judge Given said, and in most in- stances he imposed fines ranging from $10 to $25 for speed. Nine Sent to Hospital.

Policé reported the brakes on Page's car in such bad condition that a test by the Traffic Bureau was deemed un- necessary.

If feasible, he plans to refuel the abandoned plane and fiy | it into the nearest base on the return ! fiight. Five-Day Trip. The trip from Chicago to Berlin, weather permitting, will be made in five days. There will be no attempt to break any speed records and there will be 1o long water hazards nor endurance jumps. 1In fact, the 4,750-mile route, as mapped for the flyers by the American Geographical Society, includes only two hops across the open sea, each less than | 300 miles in distance. i Heading northeast from Chicago, the Untin Bowler will follow a Inie almost | as straight as that marked by a string siretched across a map between Chi- ¢ago and Berlin. A stop will be madc in Milwaukee and then the big boat will spread its wings over the North | _ | Circle, its radio flashing messages to The Star and a ted group of as sociated newspapers it speeds over Canada, Greenland, Iceland and on to Bergen, Copenhagen and Berlin. If all goes well the air yacht will then lay.in a new stock of supplies and hurry back to Chicago by way of War- saw, Stockholm, Bergen and the same Far Northern route to complete the first transatlantic round-trip flight in | history. ‘The ght Is based upon airways| and not <leamshxp routes.

The plane will investigate the pos- sibility of an eastern branch in the Farco Islands, from which London and Paris could be served via Scotland, | but will make no attempt to fly the route. Some of the outstanding advantages of the Northern Circle, or overland passage to Europe, as pointed out by Gast and Cramer include: The fact that the distance from Chi. cago to the mainland of Europe, be- cause of the spherical nature of the earth's surface, is less than 200 miles further than the distance from New York to the European mainland. That while the north country is a land of intense storms, they are not local storms, but can be predicted al most to the hour, and that long pe- riods of dependable weather may be expected. For _more than 600 miles in Green- land fiyers can obtain tail winds blov !ing either east or west by merely | changing their altitude. This is possi- sible because of the dome of ice over Greenland, which causes air currents to always flow outward toward the Gulf | stream. become warmed and flow back | at a different altitude. Bases 800 Miles Apart. That bases already have been estab- | lished every 800 m'les along the route and could be set up every 400 miles | along 50 per cent of the course. The | cost of bases every 400 miles would be less than the expense of establishing one of the proposed floating islands in | the Atlantic. That the longest hop on the northern | route can be made on six hours fuel, while the other way 30 hours is the mini- mum.
