By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, October 9.—Premier Briand today placed the British invitation to attend a five-power naval disarmament conference before his colleagues at a cabinet meeting, but the note itself was not discussed. M. Briand asked the interested min- | {isters to study the questions raised and to be ready to discuss the text of the reply at next Monday's cabinet meeting, at which President Doumergue will pre- side. The French reply, whigh will be ac- eeptance to participate in the confer- ence, will be a lengthy document taking up every point raised in the British note. Suggestions Invited, i The chill which greeted the note in | official circles upon its translation yes- terday has subsided and it is now felt that the phraseology used by Foreign Secretary Henderson Invited French suggestions on the questions mentioned and these will be forthcoming. The present feeling in official circles is that France under no c.ccumstances will abandon submarines as defensive | weapons. The French press today commented upon the view that France would accept the British invitation to a naval parley in London in January. Le Matin put it: “It is hard to see how we could refuse to facilitate the task of the preparatory commission of the league and the general disarma- | ment conference which should follow.” Submarine Important. The most important point for the | French is submarines, Le Matin ob- served as Arthur Henderson, British foreign minister, frecly admitted Great Britain and America cannot abolish them without consulting France. “We have only to maintain our position,” the paper said. Le Petit Parisian also saw the pro- f""‘d naval parley as & “sort of pro- ogue to the work on disarmament be- ing pursued at Geneva.” The radical party organ Oeuvre ex-| pressed much the same views as the | other papers, saying, notably, as regards submarines, “The proposal of the United States of America and Great Britain is a_pure war of words. To ac- cept it would be to hand over the sea to their control, without an appeal, and that really would be asking too much.” French Interpretation. ‘What makes France more willing to accept the invitation is her impression that the scope of the London confer- ence is limited to facilitating the work of the preparatory disarmament com- mission at Geneva and that it can only discuss best methods of limiting naval forces. ‘The interdependence of land, naval and air armaments would thus be treat- ed at a general disarmament confer- ence, which will agree upon figures of total naval tonnage and tonnage by types of warships. Le Temps, which appears to have some knowledge of the naval tonnage negotiations between England and America, insists that the Anglo-Ameri- can arrangement implies no real re- duction in the naval strength of the two powers. 1t says that, on the contrary, it sig- nifies a status quo for England and a considerable increase by the Americans to reach parity by December, 1936. - JAPAN DRAFTING REPLY. Cabinet Expects Document at Friday Meeting for Approval. TOKIO, October 9 (#)—Foreign Min- fster Shidehara was expected today to draft the Japanese reply to the London invitation’ to participate in a naval re- duction conference and submit it to the cabinet Friday for approval. Before dispatching it to London Am- bassador Matsudaira at that capital may be asked for interpretation of the word in the final paragraph “text” of the invitation, as its exact meaning is not considered clear here. - It was believed today Reijiro Wakar- suki, a former premier, will be Japan's chief delegate to the conference. Asahi Shimbun was the only paper today to comment on the invitation, which it welcomed, urging the govern- ment to reply accepting and expressing hope France and Italy would do like- wise. LONDON FEELS HOPEFUL. Newspapers Hail Probability All Powers Invited to Parley Will Accept. LONDON, October 9 (#)—London newspapers today expressed high, but by no means certain, hopes of successful outcome of the projected naval reduc- tion conference to be held here in Jan- uary. Issuance of invitations to the five naval powers to participate held foremost, place in the news columns. Possibility that not all of the five powers will accept the invitations was suggested editorially on the ground that the view was held persistently in some quarters that the preliminary London-Washington conversations rep- resented an attempt to impose an An- glo-American scheme of disarmament on the other powers. Adverse Possibilities. There seemed no present assurance that the conference wc.'d ledd to an all around agreement, although this and other adverse suggestions were treated merely as suggested possibilities and not as expectations. ‘The conservative daily _telegraph thought the prolongation of the battle- ship building holiday might be secured and some advance upon the measure of disarmament gained by the Washing- ton treaty might be obtained, but said: “A comprehensive five-power agree- ment on matters left untouched at ‘Washington in 1922 is not to be look- for.” ed’!‘l'le Laborite Daily Herald remarked the suggestion in the invitations that the Kellogg pact be the starting 'pglnt of the agreement, and then said: “On the basis of the Kellogg pact a sweep- ing all-around reduction should be pos- sible, but on any other basis an agree- ment will be difficult if not impossible, owing to mutual fears and mutual suspicions.” Kellogg Pact Weighed. The Liberal Daily Chronicle also dwelt on the importance of the Kellogg pact, which, it remarked, had altered fundamentally the whole position since 1922. “All the great powers signed the undertaking to renounce war as an in- strument of national policy and if that undertaking meant what it said its signatories need no longer arm against one another and large measures of re- duction have become possible.” . Liberal and Progressive Daily News proressed io have “she highest nopes of drastic material reduction in the whole fleld of naval armament.” Observers saw as the most note- wortny point in the invitations to France. Italy,” Jepan and the United States the frank offer of the British government to communicate its views on naval disarmament to the other governments in the interval before con- vocation of the conference. The governments concerned were invited similarly to send communica- tions here. It evidently was intended that there be the fullest discussion be- tween the powers before the conference convenes.

Marvin, president JURY MAY PROBE BURROUGHS CASE ers Order Second Confer- ence on Man’s Death. ‘Taking the viewpoint that they did not want the family of Thomas Franklin Burroughs to feel Prince Georges County authorities had “left any stone unturned” in regard to the manner in which the man met his death, the county commissioners yesterday ordered the case presented to the grand jury “if necessary,” but State's Attorney J. F. Parran has not decided if this step will be taken. ‘The board of commissioners took a hand in the case when Constable A. C. Thompson, in whose district Burroughs~ was injured. and who has been con- ducting an independent investigation of the case, appeared before the board to request financial compensation for ex- penses incurred by him during his in- vestigation. ‘The commissioners refused the con- stable’s request for expenses, but showed much interest in his claim that “the case could be worked up” and on motion of Commissioner Brice Bowie formally adopted a resolution directing ‘Thompson to take the matter to “the sheriff, the State’s attorney, and, if necessary, the grand jury.” “Heads” Are Cited. In explaining the case to the Com- missioners Thompson called their at- tention to clippings from The Star re- vealing “leads” in the case and dis- closing that the family had appealed to Washington police to assist the county authorities in definitely settling how Burroughs was injured. Immediately after receiving his in- structions from the Commissioners Thompson waited on States Attorney Parran, who said today he was not sure yet whether or not he would present the case to the grand jury. Burroughs was brought to Emergency Hospital September 17 following an automobile accident below Silver Hill, He died four days later of pneumonia, and his family believes all of his in- juries could not have been caused by the automobile accident. They point out Burroughs was a visitor at a road- house a few hours before the accident at which it was learned a fight had occurred. Second Conference Ordered. ‘Thompson had previously conferred with Sheriff Early and the State’s at- torney, but he was told to do so again by the county commissioners, who want- ed the case to go through the proper legal channels. Both the sheriff and State’s attorney have examined witnesses and talked with relatives of -Burroughs and ex- pressed the opinion the man's death was purely accidental. Should Parran decide not to present the case to the grand jury Thommpson may do so on his own initiative when he delivers his, report to that body on conditions in his district. ‘The owner of the hat turned over to the Burroughs family by hospital au- thorities and in turn given by them to State’s Attorney Parran, in the hope he might shed some light on the case, was located yesterday in Gallinger Hos- pital, but has not as yet been question- ed by the county police. WIFE LEAPS TO DEATH. Woman, 29, Mother of Four, Com: mits Suicide. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, October 9.—Mrs. Mamie Griffin, 29, jumped from the roof of a six-story apartment house yesterday morning and was killed. She was an expectant mother and had been paroled from the State Hospital for Mental De- fectives, at Central Islip, Long Island on September 29, in the custody of her aunt, with whom she went to live. Mrs. Griffin had been committed to Bellevue Hospital last June for observa- | tion as to her sanity, at the request of her husband, William Griffin, a waiter.

The Ambassador of Great Britain and fully 600 guests shook hands &t the By far the largest concourse gathered | for the evening was on the steps of the embassy, along the sidewalk and in the street, where unofficial Washington— citizens from every section of the country, many of them bankers and men of financial importance—waited in the cold night air in hopes of seeing the great Labor leader and his daughter, or at least paying their silent respects if they did not. - No visitor who has ever come to Wash- ington*-not even the King and Queen of the Belgians or the Queen of Ru- mania—has had such eager street re- ception as has the premier of Great Britain. Visitors Delighted. The White House dinner, the lunch: eon at the British embassy, the Cana- dian luncheon and other such events became quite secondary when the great statesman and Labor leader met this cross-section of the voting element of this country. As he and his daughter looked over the great company, every available inch of space on the reception floor of the embassy being filled, they fairly beamed with delight. ‘The Ambassador and Lady Isabella Howard and their guests of honor stood in the middle drawing room of the suite to receive, Lady Isabella weawing a’gown of white satin and gold lace, a diamond necklace and other diamond ornaments, while Miss Macdonald took five years from her head by wearing a simple white gown and no jewels. She wa®| exceedingly bonny and pretty. Among the very early arrivals at the reception were the Vice President, his sister, Mrs, Edward Everett Gann, and Mr. Gann, Mrs. Gann being in a gown of yellow velvet simply fashioned, with which she wore topaz ornaments, stones in the same color appearing in the trim- ming of her gown. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, wife of the Speaker, was also a guest, and as usual was surrounded by groups of admirers all during her short stay in the draw- ing rooms and the ballroom. She wore a gown of gold and brown brocade, her brown hair, streaked with gray, showing its old-time glint of gold. She wore a diamond necklace. No Clash of Social Arms. While many curious eyes watched for a clash of arms—social arms—between Mrs. Gann, sister of the Vice President, and Mrs. Longworth, there was none. They were: quite as polite and friendly as a great formal reception of the nature permitted. ‘The British and American . colors mingled in the decorations of the em- bassy last night. Autumn flowers, in their richest coloring, filled great bowls and vases about all of the rooms. From the high landing of the state stairway there looked down on the Labor leader of Great Britain a mag- nificent portrait of Queen Victoria in her prime, while at the foot of the stairway and to tlhie left was a life- size standing portrait of Queen Mary in court robes. The portrait of the King is in the dining room, where op- posite him hangs a portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie. After being received the guests passed into the ballroom, where hung por- traits of other members of the royal family, and then they drifted into the dining room, where refreshments were served. Dinner Party Small. ‘The dinner party was a small one for the embassy, and seated about the long Ambassador, who had upon his right Mrs, Stimson and upon his left Mrs. Adams, wives, respectively, of the Sec- retary of State and the Secretary of the Navy. Lady Isabella Howard had upon her right the Secretary of State, Mr. Stimson, and upon her left the prime minister. Miss Macdonald, sev- eral seats removed, was taken into din- ner by the Undersecretary of State, Mr. Cotton. : The center of the long and wide table was filled with a mirror, sur- rounded by a standing border of silver, and in its center stood a massive can- delabrum, while graceful white porce- lain swans were reflected in the mirror. 'Two other tall candelabra stood at either side of this, and between them were huge loving cups, in massive de- sign, filled with pink roses. Pink roses and dainty white flowers were used in‘ other vases, and the entire silver din- ner service, quite the most massive and interesting in this country, was used. List of Dinner Guests.

Both the Senate and House were well represented at the reception, for besides the foreign relations committee of the Senate and the foreign affairs committee of the House, there were several hundred guests from these bodies. The effort of the Ambassador and Lady Isabella Howard was to have just as representative company of Americans, from as many sections of country. meet the prime minister of Great Britain as possible. The most certain way of doing this was, not to invite soclety people, but the repre- su:luu\'ea of the people chosen by vote. ‘The gowns worn by the women were resplendent and many jewels were seen. A note for the trades journals was in the fact that long white gloves have come back for evening wear, or at least at official functions in Washington, GUEST AT LUNCHEON.

TlLe French and the Italians, whose ratios are low in the matter of capital ships, are likely to agzee to this proposal more | easily. ‘The British note, however, suggests |lhnt the question of the abolition of | the submarine may be seriously taken | fup at the proposed conference. This is a question which is likely to arouse {not a little opposition in both France (and Italy. It was found impossible to get anywhere with a proposal to abol- ish the submarine at the time of the Washington naval conference in 1922 because of the opposition of France. Great Britain put forward such a prop- osition at that time. The British note now sent out sets down the’ following as its fourth principal of agreement be- tween the American and British gov- ernments: “Since both the Government of the United States and his majesty’s gov- ernment in the United Kingdom adhere to the attitude that they publicly adopt- ed in regard to the desirability of se- curing the total abolition of the sub- marine, this matter hardly gave rise to discussion during the recent conver- sation. They recognize, however, that no final settiement on this subj can be reached except in conference with the other naval powers. A failure to reach an agreement on the submarine question at the confer- ence might have a material effect on the question, of limiting_cruiser and destroyer tornage. The French here- tofore have always insisted that sub- marines were essential to their na- tional defense, since they did not un- dertake to build a very large surface Navy.

In the years spant here you have learned the ‘challenges of work and the satisfactions of meticulously completed tasks. As you take up your activities of life outside of the univers- ity think of life's satisfactions as grow- ing out of self-assigned work. Such service will require the same type of habitual action as you have known in the competition here. “You have learned that virtuous habits are not gained by rote nor ex- rcised automatically. Conscious dis- riminating effort is the price paid for true action in life. Unless your ac- tivities have énabled your mind you may be only a bland yet obvious parasite. The hall marks of an educat- ed man are critical intelligence, sanity of thought, nobility of spirit, willingness to serve. Let such discipline as these continue to command, that each of you may be counted among the benefactors of the country and of the human race.” Degrees were conferred upon the can. didates as follow: Bdchelor of arts——Solomon Brooks, New York; William Woodbridge Cham- pion, California; Alice Ashton B.
