HOOVER CONFERS WITH OFFICIALS ON NAVAL LIMITATION Stimson and Others Closeted With President for Two : Hours. DETAILS MAY BE BARED IN PART LATER TODAY MaoDonald Silent After Revelation at Geneva of Progress of Negotiations. By the Associated Press. President Hoover conferred for two hours early this morning with Secre- tary Stimson and a group of high rank- ing naval officers on the question of naval limitations. Except the information that the dis- cussion had to do with the proposed naval accord between the United States ! and Great Britain, nothing was di- vulged at the White House, but later Mr. Stimson reiterated a statement of late yesterday that much hard work would be necessary before the two coun- tries could reach an agreement on naval equality, and that today’s conference | was given to a discussion of details, Officials at Conference. | Besides Stimson, those attending the | eonference were Secretary Adams, Un- dersecretary Cotton of the State De- partment, and Assistant Secretary Jahncke of the Navy, Admiral Hughes, Rear Admirals Long, Jackson, Chase, Hough, and Reeves; Captains Johnson and Buchanan and Commander Train. A number of the high naval officials are members of the Navy General Board which recently has been devoting close attention to the discussions on reduc- tion in sea power between the United | States and Great Britain. The conference at the White House was held shortly after the President’s breakfast hour, Upon leaving the executive mansion, | members of the Naval General Board returned to the Navy Department and immediately went into session. Cautious Feeling Here, Optimism over the early settlement of the Anglo-American jnaval problem as expressed by Prime Minister MacDonald in his address before the League As- sembly was received by Washington officialdom with some reserve. ‘While the only official comment on the question was made yesterday by Stimson, who said that hopeful progress | has been made toward an agreement between the United States and Great Britain, the attitude in official circles here is that muclf time must be spent in working out intricate and important details in the problem. Stimson's comment yesterday - that work on details must be accomplished before any final agreement on parity, or naval equality, could be reached, was interpreted in diplomatic circles as in- dicating that Washington officialdom was anxious that the question be settled more finally before any definite an- nouncement was made. The complete viewpoint of each gov- ernment now has been ladi before the other on the entire question, but it has been indicated that no agreement could be hoped for within less than 10 days. Outstanding among the problems which the two powers must settle be- fore an agreement can be reached is the divergent viewpoint on cruisers. Only a few differences are known to exist between the two powers on this question, but these are regarded by both nations as important points and ones that will require considerable time and hard work to adjust. The level on which naval parity would be established is another question understood to be | under discussion. H Both President Hoover and Secretary Stimson are determined that these dif- ferences on cruisers which caused the collapse of the tripartite conference of | 1927 must be cvcrcome before there can be any hope for a conference of the naval powers to consider further world armament reduction. Policy Questions Involved. Matters of policy in each country are involved in the present negotiations and the hope has been expressed in well informed circles that these can be rec- onciled. One of the most important details which has been determined in the ne- otiations is the period within which the United States will be able to attain parity, or naval squality, with Great Britain. When the principle of parity first was agreed -upon by the London and Washington governments as a basic | factor for the future negotiations, it ‘was obvious to the statesmen and naval experts in both countries that this equ‘nmy could not be attained immedi- ately.

By the Associated Press. h LOWESTOFT, England, September 4. —The dreadful possibilities of a certain déath-dealing toxin in war time were mentioned today by Prof. Leonard Hill In his presidential address to the Sani- tary Inspectors’ Association. Prof. Hill called attention to “certaln bacillus which shall be nameless, but is casily cultivated.” “If men were as susceptible as guinea pigs are to the toxin produced by the bacillus, and there is reason to think they are, it would appear that one gramme, let us say a saltspoon full, of the dry toxin would suffice to kill a million persons,” he said. as a powder.

By the Associated Press. ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex., September | Co. today suspended air travel on its |line between Waynoka, OKla., Winslow, Ariz. to place all planes at Waynoka, Clovis and Winslow in the search for the T. A. T. liner City of San Prancisco, missing since late yes- terday. Weather conditions were bad and visibility poor. The liner, with a crew of three and five passengers aboard, left Albuquer- que, N. Mex,, at 10:22 a.m. yesterday. Tried to Dodge Storm. Last reported over Grants, N. Mex., the big ship was headed slightly south of its usual course, in an apparent ef- fort of Chif Pilot J. B. Stowe to dodge a spreading storm area. It was not heard from again, although T. A. T. service planes put out from Winsiow, Ariz, and Albuqueroue and patrolled east and west over the route after the transport had failed to check in at ‘Winslow. Transcontinental Air Transport offi- clals in Winslow, who believed Stowe placed his ship: on the ground at srrln(ervulc, Ariz,, 135 miles southeast of Winslow and 100 miles southwest of Grants, were disappointed on receipt of reports that no plane had been seen or heard there. Springerville also had been in communication with St. John, Ariz, by means of a Government for- estry service line and reported that no plane had been seen there. H. W. Beck, Western traffic manager for T. A. T., with headquarters in Los Angeles, expressed belief that Stowe, a veteran airman and one of the highest rated of T. A. T. pilots, had been forcea to land somewhere south of his route, due to akpormal consumption of fuel in battling the storm. Lack of reports, Beck believed, was due to the inability of Stowe, Assistant Pilot A. E. Dietel, or Courier C. F. Canfield, the other crew members, to reach telegraph or telephone lines. T. A. T. officials in Los Angeles and Winslow were not inclined to dis- cuss the possibility of the liner being in serious difficulty. Passenger Knows Country. The passengers had another safeguard in the presence aboard of A. Mc- Gaffey of Albuquerque, who formerly owned much timberland in the region traversed by the ship. Officials in Al- buquerque were confident that Mc- Gaffey, in the event of landing. would be able to guide the passengers and crew to shelter. Other passengers aboard the plane, in addition to MeGaffey, were Mrs. J. B. Raymond of Glendale, Calif.; Willlam H. Beers of New York, M. N. Campbell of Cincinnati and Harris Livermore or Boston.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany, Sep- tember 4.—Beating its round-the-world | eruising record by more than a full day, the Graf Zeppelin, German mistress of the air, lJanded here from Lakehurst, N. J., at 8:52 am. (2:52 a.m., Eastern | standard time). Church bells pealed and cannon | boomed a salute as the huge ship, es- corted by an honor guard of 12 air- planes, appeared over the city, circlma! | the town hall before it turned back to its hangar at the Zeppelin Works. | One of the largest crowds in Fried- richshafen’s history greeted it there, cheering madly as the ship lowered to-| ward the ground. Within a few minutes | of its appearance it was taken in hand by the ground crew and at 8:56 a.m. was walked into the hangar. { Passengers Are at Windows. ‘The 22 passengers were at the win- dows of the ship as it came to earth, | waving flags in answer to cheers from | the throng below, many of whom had waited at the field all night. Ground Officer Hans von Schiller was the first to emerge from the dirigible, passengers and members of the crew following after the ship entered the hangar. With its landing, the dirigible com- pleted a round-the-world trip—Fried- richshafen to Friedrichshafen—in 20 days, 4 hours, 18 minutes. The Zep- pelin previously had flown around the world from Lakehurst to Lakehurst in 21 days, 8 hours, 26 minutes, a time; which was in itself a record. Slower Than August Return.

It was the first time weather condi- tions had permitted the Central French route for the Graf. From Bordeaux, the Zeppelin “cruised northwestward across Limoges and Dijon, Prance, and Basile, Switzerland, striking across Lake Constance and toward home as the ris- ing sun stared it in the face.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, September 4.—An 18- year-old student pilot who cracked up a borrowed plane while giving his sis- ter a ride over their Brooklyn home was under arrest at the Coney Island Hospital today on a charge of felonious assault. Police said Gustave Krimsier, the pilot, had completed but 4 of the 18 hours necessary to obtain a prival license and had no right to take a passenger aloft. Enthusiastic over his- knowledge of aviation, Krimsier took his sister, Azalfa, 20 years old, for a flight over their home, when the motor of the plane began to sputter, presumably from lack of gas. He thed for an open lot, but landed nose first with a crash that destroyed the plane.

By the Associated Press. An offer by the United States to the Chinese government to participate in/ negotiations to devise a method for the | gradual relinquishment of American extraterritorial rights in China was con- | tained in a recent note to the Nanking ' government, made public today by Sec- retary Stimson. The note was in reply to one of the Chinese government of April 27, re- questing the American Government to abandon extraterritorial rights in China. The American communication dealt specifically with the question of ex- traterritorial jurisdiction and recalled the fact that the present arrangement under which the United States exer- cises jurisdiction over its citizens in China ‘was through a realization on the part of both governments that such a procedure would be wise because of the differences between the customs of the two peoples and their judicial systems. ‘While the note put forward the sug- gestion for a consideration of gradual relinquishment, it pointed out that until an independent iudlclury. interpreting fairly a known set of laws, has been set up in China, the United States does not feel it can abandon the present extraterritorial system.

FULL GALLERIES WATCH SMOOT SUBMIT MEASURE Independen{l—-]{old Balance of Power as Legislators Pre- pare for Battle. By the Associated Press. The revised House tariff measure was formally laid before the Senate today as it started actual business after a Summer recess. For weeks the measure has been under consideration by the finance committee. With the time for its dis- cussion at hand. many members are at disagreement over its provisions and a heated contest is expected. Most of the Senators were in their seats and the galleries were filled com- fortably as Chairman Smoot submitted the bill. Debates on Program. Agreement was reached earlier in th day between the Republican and DemoE cratic members of the finance com- mittee that actual voting on amend- fncn‘!;‘w?:ld be deferred until Monday, eay e remaining da 3 w@;‘k’ for debate. e e committee previously had vote 11 to 8, to favorably report the blfi‘ the ballot being along party lines. Last-minute conferences of the con- tending factions showed the Western Republican independents, headed by Senator Borah of Idaho and Norris of Nebraska, virtually holding the balance of power. The Republican revolters ex- pect almost solid support from the Democratic minority in their fight to confine the tariff revision solely to ag- ricultural products. A close-working coalition of these groups may give them a majority over the Republican regu- lars. who favor a more general upward tariff revision. The impending tariff struggle was al- most the sole thought of the senatorial hosts as they came from their vacation retreats by train and airplane, Senator Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada, taking a plane from Los Angeles to Kansas City to speed his arrival. Chairman Smoot of the finance com- mittee, whose Republican majority has rewritten the House tariff measure, was ready to lay the legislation formally be- fore the Senate. Anxious to drive the bill through be- fore the opening of the regular session in December, the administration group, headed by Senator Watson of Indiana. the Republican leader, planned to get the Senate to work as quickly as pos sible and to carry on through the re- mainder of the week. There will be some other business, but the plan is to sidetrack all but emer- gency matters in the interest of the tariff. Mr. Hoover has a batch of tm- portant nominations, including _ the members of the newly organized Farm Board, but little apprehension is felt by the administration over the quick con- firmation of these. The Jones Resolution. Almost_forgotten in the concern over the tariff, the unfinished business of the Senate today was the resolution of Senator Jones. Republican, Washington, to carry out the recommendation of the President for appointment of a joint congressional committee to consider & reorganization of the prohibition en- forcement agencies under the Depart- ment of Justice. However, if opposition | develops to this it is believed it will be withdrawn in favor of the tariff. The Republican independents organ- ized for the tariff contest yesterday in the office of Senator Borah and agreed to meet again today to draw up their plans. They reported that they are as militant as last Jun., when they lost by only a single vote the Borah resolution proposing to confine the tariff revision to_agriculture products. It appears certain that the first test of strength in the tariff contest will come late this week or early next week on a new attempt to put the Senate on record for tariff revision for the farmer alone. Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, & member of the Democratic group on the finance committee, will offer a motion to strike out of the tariff measure all rate revisions except those applying to the agricuitural duties. Borah May Counter. There is some dispute among the parliamentarians as to whether such a motion is in order, but there are indica- tlons that if Thomas is put aside by the rules that Senator Borah will counter with a motion to recommit the tariff measure to the finance committee with instructions to confine the rate revisions to farm products. The Republican in- dependents are hopeful of winning a vote or two and this reversing the roll call of 39 to 38 by which the Borah res- olution for farm tariff revision alone was defeated last June. However, regardless of the outcome of the effort to put the Senate on record again for only farm tariff revision, there appears to be no escape from considera- tion of hundreds of various rate schedules. If the Republican independent-Demo- cratic coalition wips in its drive for | limiting the tariff revision to agricul- tural products, the Republican regulars are expected to counter by offering their other tariff proposals as individual amendments. If the Republican regulars again beat down the attempt to continue the tariff revision solely to farm products, the coalition intends to make an individual fight against each of the rate increases as_they are reached. So, many weeks of work are ahead. ‘The most conservative estimate is that at least two months will be required for completion of the tariff debate.
