ALLEN. ALLEN TO TESTIFY IN'PAY-OFF TRIAL Senator Gathered Evidence Which Led to Indistments on Rum Plot Charges. By the Associated Pres: ‘WICHITA, Kars, September 16.— United States Senator Henry J. Allen of Kansas was here today to testify for the Governnient in the second trial of six perzons charged with implicesion in the operations o gn afieged tleg “pag-o ring.” The defendants are C. C. Dehner, former city commissioner; Roy Cris- well, former assistant chief of police; Fred Dickinson, former policeman, and Max McEllinger, Tom Davis and A. L. Simmons, alleged bootleggers. Senator Allen, as publisher of the Wichita Beacon, gathered evidence which resulted in the indictment of al- leged members of the ring a year ago. District Attorrfey Al F. Willlams said considerable new evidence hed been gathered to show collusion betWlin for- mer city and Fedgdgal officials and boot- leggers. Inasmuch as defense lawyers et the first trial, last Sgptember, which.| resultzd in a hung jury, “attempted to try Senator Allen instead of the de- fendants,” Williams said, it was believed best to have the Senator present as & 'ltn". at the secorf trial. JANUARY REGARDED AS EARLIEST DATE FOR NAVAL PARLEY (Continued From First Page.) the question of national security going in advance of any reduction of arma- ments. It is not likely that France will overlook this matter now. The expectation has been that she will in- sist upon a far higher ratio of auxiliary craft than she accepted for capital ships and aircraft carriers in 1922 ‘The same is likely to be true of Italy. France accepted parity with Italy in the matter of capital ships and aircraft carriers at that time. Both have been engaged building submarines and cruis- ers since the Washington conference. Their building operations have taken on the aspect of a naval construction race in auxiliary craft. At the time of the Washington con- ference on naval limitation, the gen- eral proposition was laid down by Charles Evans Hughes, head of the American delegation, “that in general regard should be had to the existing Lee Highway about 20 miles south of ‘Washington. Fifteen-year-old Jack B. Buchanan of 3001 Thirty-fourth street suffered pain- ful injuries when run down at Con- necticut avenue and Porter street by an automobile operated by James Wash- ington, colored, chauffeur for Senator Claude A. Swanson, The injured boy was treated at Em- ergency Hospital for contusions of the left arm, left leg and right foot and a possible fracture of the left elbow. He ‘was taken home after treatment. Lillie M. Burns of 38 K street north- east was treated at Sibley Hospital for a possible fractured shoulder and cuts and bruises to the face and head when run down while attempting to cross the street at North Capitol and K streets by an automobile operated by Clarence S.

LOS ANGELES, September 16 (#).— Frank Ellis, inspector in charge of the immigrstion office here, said . ay he had closed his investigation of charges made by Albert Sichofsky, who said he was a Polish count and a Rus- sian grand duke and declared he had been robbed of a fortune while in California jails. Ellis said the charges were without foundation. Sichofsky made his charges while on Ellis Island awaiting deportation to Po- land. Ellis said he had checked Sichofsky's story thorouthl‘/‘ and found accounts of county officials here and State prison records correct. Sichofsky's charges he had paid out $200,000 to persons for aid while in- carcerated, Ellis said, was unfounded. BEVERIDGE AT DE PAUW U. Son of Former Senator Enrolls at Father's Alma Mater. Special Dispatch to The Btar. GREENCASTLE, Ind., September 16. —Albert J. “Beveridge, jr. son of the late United States Senator, has en- rolled at De Pauw University, his father's alma mater, and has been pledged to Delta Kappa Epsilon, a fraternity of which his father was a member. In addition to young Beveridge, this ar’s freshman class also boasts of ving Bernard Sturgis of Butler, Ind., | g the Indiana State winner in the Thomas A. Edison successor contest. Sturgis was placed second in the national elimina- tion and holds a four-year scholarship at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology.

LOS ANGELES, September 16 (#).— Mme. Alma_ Stetzler, once well known as an operatic singer, died at her home here yesterday. She started her oper- atic career in n and New York with Henry W. Savage and sang for the Boston Opera Co. the Schuberts and for three years sang the leading role in the “Checolate Soldier.” Mme. Stetzler in recent years was a music teacher ¢ naval strength of the powers con- cerned. ‘The United States and Great Britain were far ahead of the other powers in capital ship strength at the time. The establishment of the 5-5-3-1.67-1.67 ratlo, therefore, was not so very diffi- cult. But today the navies of Japan, France and Italy in the matter of auxiliary craft are much stronger as compared to the United States and Great Britain than were their navies as compared to those of the United States and Great Britain in the matter of, capital ships in 1922, If the prin- ciple that existing naval strength is to be taken into consideration at the coming_conference, these three nations naturally will ask for a higher ratio than they have with regard to capital ships. Much will depend upon how high their demands will go. Place of Conference Not Known. Nothing has been decided upon so far, it was said today, regarding the place in which the naval conference will be held. It is expected here, how- ever, that such a conference will be held. It is the hope that all five powers will participate. If France an should hold aloof as they did in 1927, then this country, Britain and Japan would confer, and doubtless in event the conference place would be London. Every effort, however, will be made to bring about a conference of the five powers. MAURICE B.

OFFER INSANITY PLEA AT THIRD TRIAL VAREFACES FIHT- FORPARTYCONTROL Opponents, With Three Can- didates, Line Up for Phila- delphia Primary. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, September 16.—A ng‘ht of two factions for control of the Philadelphia Republican organization, held for years by Senator-elect Willlam 8. Vare, will be decided in a primary tomorrow. ‘The Republican League, headed by Thomas Raeburn White, a leader for mfl in independent Republican circles, placed candidates for three county offices in the fleld against the Vare slate, and has announced that its first abj;ct is to mdA“.m Tule.” .Aavor Mackey, manager of Vare's mng:h cam in lozs:nd for years a leading factor in the Vare organization, is suj the league candidates. A vic for the league would mean the end of Vare's control, and political observers believe the mayor would be recognized as the leader of the organization. Plans to Defeat “Fee Grabbers.” Mr, Mackey has declared that his only interest in throwing his support to the Republican League is to defeat the “fee grabbers, who want to put the people’s money into their pon% in. stead of into the city treasury.” terized 8, Mackey charae as “false pu;g ganda” statements by Vare leaders that he was politically ambitious and wanted to control the Republican machine. Senator-elect Vare has made but few statements during the campaign, but he has been in frequent conference at his Summer home, in Atlantic City, with the ward leaders in the organization. James M. Hazlett, chairman of the Re- publican city committee, has been in charge of the campaign and has cen- tered most of his fireworks against Mayor Mackey. In a speech Saturday Hazlett declared that the mayor's days as a factor in the organisation were over. Mackey declared that neither Haslett nor any other man could read him “out” or “in” the organization, and that he and his friends would be “just where we think we can do our city the most good.” Fight Centers on Three Offices. The fight centers on the offices of city treasurer, register of wills and coroner. The Vare-slated candidates for these offices are Willlam F. Campbell, in- cumbent, register of wills; rge E. Kemp, city treasurer, and Fred Schwarz, jr., incumbent, coroner. Those of the Republican League are John F. Du register of wills; Thomas F. Armstr city treasurer, and Samuel B. Scott, coroner. Candidates of the Republican League predicted their nomination by stantial majorities,” while Hazlett de- clared the regular organization ticket would win by 75,000 majority. Ap- proximately 500,000 electors are quali- fied to vote. RANCHER PERISHES IN FOREST BLAZ Wife and Son Seriously Burn- ed When Family Is Trapped in Mountain Cabin. By the Associated Press.

MANY DRIVEN FROM HOMES. Flames Sweep Through Green Timber in Oregon Mountains. ORTLAND, Oreg., September 16— Spreading rapidly before a strong east wind, the La Dee fire in the Mount Hood National Forest today was threat- ening the community of La Barre, 40 miles southeast of this city. Residents of the settilement, numbering about 100, had deserted their homes in favor of the town of Estacada, five miles nearer to_Portland. ‘The fire, which has been burning for the past week, spread to green timber on Squaw Mountain and was creeping through logged over land north of La Barre despite the efforts of more than 200 fighters to halt it. Another Village Threatened. Estacada residents, several hundred strong, were also sald to be worried by the advance of the La Dee fire. Heat from the blaze was reported to intense at Estacada. The Fole fire, in the Upper Little ‘Washoucal district of Clark County, Wash., after threatening for more than two weeks, ate its way into the Colum- bia National Forest yesterday and calls quarters here for additional fighters. The fire burned over more than 30,000 green timber land before reaching the Federal reserve, forest officials said. Forester Foresees Disaster. G. M. Granger, district forester, ad- mitted he was “worried” about the Dole blaze. He said it was Ww in the same district as the disastrous colt blaze of 1902, when more than 600,000 acres of timber were destroyea and dozens of lives lost. A veritable snow of ashes from the Dole fire rained down upon Portland, coating streets, M‘;:dn and roofs with the exception of the La Dee bl a few others in the Umpqua and Sius- law Forests, were reported under control.

UNITED EUROPE IS DISCUSSED. League Debate Prevents Presentation of Arms Cut Resolution. By the Assoctated Press. GENEVA, September 16.—The prob- lem of the hour, world disarmament, and the dream of European statesmen, a United States of Europe, faced the Assembly cf the eLague of Nations to- day, as it began the third week of its deliberations. - Progress toward disarmament is ex- ted to depend largely upon the reso- um‘?\ to be introduced by Lord Robert Cecil of Great Britain before the pre- paratory disarmament commission. Lord Cecil's move already has aroused con- siderable excitement in the French press, although it is understood the resolution amounts to lttle more than a declaration that the British Labor gov- ergment is not necessarily bound by the action of its conservative forerunner and that the question of land forces and reserves must be dealt with ulti- mately in any general plan of world dis- armament. Designed to stimulate progress of the preparatory commission of the League, Lord Cecil's move is another step in the general movement to make the most of the agreement in principle already attained regarding naval power be- tween the British and American gov- ernments. Also, it will sound out Prench and Italian opinion in particu- lar before the five-power disarmament conference is called. Three Favor United Europe. On the other big question before the League, that of a European confedera- tion of states, delegates this week are preparing to get into closer grips with the actualities of this great scheme pro- posed by Premier Briand of France. The support of France, Germany and Great Britain are assured and the Anglo-French proj 1 for a world economic conference which would deal directly with many problems involved in the formation of a European United States is expected to bring to light declarations of policy from smaller countries throughout the continent. A certain conflict of views between Britain and French delegates to the assembly arose today when the as- sembly’s committee on disarmament re- sumed consideration of a scheme for giving financial assistance to the victim of an aggression in war or under the threat of war. The French wished that the League council before rendering aid to menaced state should ask both dis- putants if they would abide by the ruling of the council. Lord Cecil Fears Delay. For Great Britain, Lord Cecil urged this method of procedure would involve delay which ht be fatal to peace. Peru joined the discussion when Mariano Cornejo, Peruvian minister to Parls and delegate to the assembly, sald he thought the whole scheme should be brought into accord with the provisions and spirit of the Kellogg- Briand pact and that the council should be empowered to act promptly and firm- Iy against the aggressor nation. The discussion over the financial aid proposal lasted so long today that it delayed indefinitely the presentation be | disarmament commission and th | whether by limiting its of the anticipated British proposal on disarmament. Lord Cecil came red to offer a draft resolution which would urge the hastening of preparatory work by the make suggestions which are regarded as re- opening the question of trained army reserves. Principles Are Outlined. This resolution, which .will probably Tialy | were received at district forest head-|be submitted Tuesday or Wednesday, ; reads: “The assembly, being convinced that that | gcres of logged-over, second reaching the [ a progressive and general reduction of armaments is urgently needed through- out the world, expresses its hoj it the pnpmwmzeommtuwn will finish its labors at earliest possible mo- ment, and considers that in complet- ing a draft disarmament convention it should consider how far the following principles have been or ought to be adopted: “A. Application of the same prin- ciple to reduction of limitation of per- sonnel and material, whether on land, sea_or air forces. “B, Limitation of strength of a force numbers, or period of training, or both. “C. Limitation of material either directly by enumeration, or indirectly budgetary limitation, or bath “D. Recognition of & competent in- ternational authority to watch and r the execution of the treaty. Finances Are Discussed. What would be the position of any state which might join the League sub- sequently so far as liability under the financial aid scheme was concerned :;.s debated in the disarmament com- ttee. India brought it up by inquiries con- cerning possible reddction of the scale of the annual League contributions in any part! state. Lord Cecil sug- gested that the scale should be based not on contributions at the time the convention_entered into force, but at the time the loans were Otherwise, he asked, would America 1f she came in later be free of all con- tributions? The point proved too diffi- cult for the chairman of the League’s financial committee, who asked that it bexr:(erredwmeommltuen- whole. 8. O.

JERUSALEM, September 16.—News of & new outbreak at Hattin, near the Sea of Galllee, in which raiding Bedouin tribesmen lost 16 dead and many wounded before being dispersed by British military patrols, today again disturbed the peaceful atmosphere of Palestine, where mno trouble between Jews and Arabs had been reported for a week. There was a tendency to regard the affairs as purely local. No fears were entertained that the affray would in any way effect the proposed visit of 200 prominent Egyptian Arabs to Palestine for the purpose of bringing about a reconciliation of the two peoples. Feeling Agninst Muftl. Reports to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency state there is growing feeling among Egyptian Arabs that the grand mufti of Jerusalem, recognized Moslem leader, is partly responsible for the recent troubles in the country. Dissatisfaction with the grand mufti is said to be partly due to his alleged failure to fully account for funds raised in Egypt for repairing the Mosque of Omar. First Riot Claim. The first claim for loss of life in the recent riots has been filed in Jerusalem by Mendel Fraumen of Chicago for the death of his son Harry, a student at the Hebron Yeshiva, where more than a dozen American students were among the 50 victims. Generally, conditions seem to be rap- idly assuming normal in Palestine. Yesterday Allenby road to Tel Aviv was crowded with the usual week end promenade like the days before the riots, All the way to the sea there were holiday crowds and bathers swarmed the beach. VATICAN VIEWS PLEASE. Jewish Population of Poland Feel Wall- ing Wall Rights Upheld. WARSAW, September 16 (#).—The Jewish population of Poland is greatly pleased by an interview the papal nuncio, Mgr. Marmaggl, has given & Warsaw Zionist newspaper, particularly 5o because theH v’lt:ws ave stated W shared by the Holy See. The nuncio said the Walling Wall is the oldest historical relic of the Jewish race, and their rights to it are fully justified by historical and sentimental Cconsiderations. He spoke sympatheti- cally of the Jewish interest in Pales- tine and of their colonization of their former motherland. Expressing the hope peace would be established soon, the nuncio made special reference to the many places in the Holy Land which are deeply venerated throughout the entire Christian world. o FREEDOM OF SEAS MAY BE DISCARDED AS POLICY OF U. S. —le (Continued From First Page.) to use thelr fleets against any breakers of this new law of the world. It is acknowledged that these revela- tions border on the sensational. “Free- dom of the seas” is an older American doctrine than the Monroe Doctrine. In defense of it the United States made war on Great Britain in 1812. We maintainea our historic policy for the first two and one-half years of the World War to the point of almost tak- ing sides with Germany on account of the repeated seizure of American ships bound for neutral European ports. As s0on as we entered the war we reversed our posluonéuw;ul:eu?e an efl:ctil;: ency in tro; *“freedom _oOf s far s the Central powArs and European neutrals were concerned. U. S. Mines Were Barriers. Never in history was there a more effective barrier to such “freedom” than the great mine barrage laid by the United States Navy across the North Sea in 1918, It was one of the things which prmflzfid to the collapse of Germany's I¢ ice. ‘Broadly speaking, the reputed dispo- sition of the United States to abandon its century-aged contention is due to what one authority describes as “a desire to reconcile preaching and prac- tice.” In other words, if the American Navy in war should again find it neces- sary to use its power to hamper neutral shipping as well as the commerce of its enemy, it is felt that Uncle Sam should no longer make any bones about de- claring here and now that he will do exactly this if and when the emer- gency arises. That the United States procedure as & belligerent would dupli= cate our procedure in 1917-18 is not seriously to be doubted. This is far from meaning that the new orientation of American naval policy contemplates a_piratical policy at sea such as the German U-boats carried on gr nlny other high-handed- ness for sheerly aggressive purposes. It means merely that the United States Wants to remain free, within the law, to use its tremendous naval _stre: against the commerce of a nation or nations which embark upon aggressive war in defiance of the Kellogg-Briand act. pPenetnun: analysis of the policy about to be laid down by the United States Government— complete naval parity with the most powerful fleet afloat—leads to the obvious conviction that this costly establishment is to_be kept up for a material purpose. We have committed ourselves not to use our naval power as an aggressive in- strument of national policy. Two Objects Paramount. But as America is about to place itself on a level of equality with the world's greatest navy, the keneest in- terpreters of her determination discern in it two specific objects. The first and paramount object is the national defense and the capacity to keep the American d on the high seas. The secondary object is to be ready to throw our influence on the side of checkmating any breaker of the new K!::ernnflonnldhw teon.l'.ltllud by the -Briand pact. In a nutshell, America is about ready to come umun;l to thetxllew th:;:h.: seas are free for peaceful peop! free as they are at this instant—but not for peoples which wantonly defy international law. The United States Navy resorted to every recourse at its command to close the seas under such circumstances in 1917 and 1918. What is now in the wind is a reconsideration of the whole international situation as it has been so vitally altered by the general pact for renunciation of war.
