HOOVER T0 DISCUSS - BUSINESS “RELIEF" WITH RAIL LEADERS Eastern Executives to Confer With President at White House Tomorrow. FINANCIAL OFFICIALS T0 BE SEEN WEDNESDAY Farm Organization Representatives, Legge and Hyde, to Assemble With Him on Thursday. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. On the eve of the first of his confer- ences with leaders in industry, agri- culture and labor, designed to aid business and to prevent any lessening m morale that might be due to the recent stock market crash, President Hoover today was working furtber on the general plan and the details of these conferences. The first group with which the Presi- | | dent will confer is composed of the ! executives of the Eastern trunk lire | railroads. The conference has been set tentatively for 11 am. tomorrow in he cabinet room in the executive offices of the White House. ‘While the list of railroad executives who will be present has not been an- nounced formally, it is understood that among those who have been invited are . E. Crowley, president of the New York Central lines; John J. Pelley, presi- dent of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad; John J.

The President, it was said at the ‘White House today, has canceled prac- tically all of his engagements this week s0 as to give his entire time to the business conferences. Instead of hav- ing a single preliminary conference, he By the Associated Press. The principal obstacles for the pres- ent occupy three places upon the con- ference chart. Close at hand lies the question of parity between the Italian and French navies. Hard by is the Japanese desire for a cruiser ratio of 7 to the 10 for the United States and Great Britain, instead of three to five- as laid down for capital ships at the Washington arms conference. Paralleling these is the shoal of sub- marine limitation, around which the 1921 conference here could not' be steered. France, Italy and Japan regard CONFIDENCE IN NAVAL ACCORD OVERRIDES SERIOUS OBSTACLES Sizeable shoals looming before the London naval conference have in no wise lessened the measure of confidence President Hoover and other administration officials have that the ship of limitation can be maneuvered through them. These objections are being carefully charted, and at the present distance from the January 21 date of the beginning of the conference voyage they appear no less formidable than did those in the offing at the opening of the negotia- tions between the United States and Great Britain. the underseas boats as their most ef- fective weapons of defense, while Great. Britain, out of the lessons of the world war, naturally views them as the great- est menace to its safety in the event of hostilities. France and Italy are engaged upon negotiations which might lessen the dificulties for the London conference, but there has been no information as to what progress they have been able to make. They started from such widely distant points that a complete agree- " (Continued on Page 2, Column 1) ADMIRAL EXPECTED T0 ATTEND PARLEY Would Go as Adviser, Stimson Announces. By the Associated Press. Secretary Stimson announced today that Rear Admiral Hilary P.

The Secretary added he had no rea- son to believe the admiral had changed his mind. Mr. Stimson's announcement was made in connection with various pub- lished reports to the effect that Admiral Jones would not accompany the dele- gation or had not yet decided to go to the parley. “I have every reason to believe that Admiral Jones is going with me to Lon- Jones Said Last Week He | RELATIVES OF DEAD NURSE T0 TESTIFY Father and Two Sisters Ex- pected to Describe Do- mestic Troubles.

Diversion of Capital Sought. As already indicated in the Presi- dent’s announcement of his plan for holding conference with representatives of industry, agriculture and labor, it is expected that effort will be made to plan for a large amount of construction work and to have a great deal of American capital diverted to such work. that Admiral Jones might decide against attending the London conference in a position subordinate to that of Admiral Willlam V. Pratt, commander-in-chief of the United States fleet. Admiral Jones has been one of the chief ad- visers of President Hoover in the nego- tiations carried on at London between Ambassador Dawes and Prime Minister Macdonald looking up to the confer- ence, and Mr. Hoover has a very high regard for the admiral's ability as one of the foremost of American naval men. DIAMOND MILLS SHUT met on their arrival at the grand jury room by Thomas F. Cullen, special assistant to the Attorney General, who ushered them into a private office ad- joining the grand jury chamber. Nearly & score of other witnesses awaited their turn to testify in another witness room. They included Mrs. Donald McPherson, aunt of the accused husband, and more than half a dozen athletic club asso- clates of the latter, who will corroborate McPherson’s alibi, and Conductor J. H. Lewark of the Georgia avenue street car line, who says he will give testimony tending to contradict it. Mr. Hurley, it is expected, will be near here, and were removed only fol- lowing Mr. Porter’s continued question- ing of the officials and employes of the company. Mr. Porter said today that he was not certain as to the number of metal trunks which were deposited in his shed, but the driver of the van informed him that the whole shipment weighed about two tons. The driver told him this when Mr. Porter suggested that the trunks be put on some rafters in the top of the shed, where they would be out of the way, but when told of their weight he directed that they be placed voting against a proposed adjournment on November 23.

The market opened irregular, with trading quiet, but many of the early gains of $1 to $8 a share were cut down, or wiped out, and by the time the half- way mark of the three-hour session was reached a long list of issues were Government witnesses, asserting that he had never seen this done in any other Jurisdiction. ‘The Blease resolution reads as fol- lows: “Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Senate judiciary committee and the committee on judiciary of the House of Representatives be and they are hereby ested and directed to hold joint meetings and hearings to con- sider the advisability and feasibility of dividing the District of Columbia into two or more judicial districts, each dis- trict to be provided with its own sepa- to thereby patient was under the ether for mearly an_hour.

The body was exhumed from the family burial plot of the Hurleys at China Grove, N. C., former home of the Hurley family. Among the doctors present at uhe autopsy, in adition to Drs.

A few days later, Porter continued, a small truck appeared, containing the trunks. Porter said that the shipment was much larger than he anticipated. The truck was driven by a man Mr. Porter said had been an employe of the Smith Co. for a number of years. It was the subsequent actions of the driver that caused any suspicion in the mind of Mr. Porter, the latter said. Only a day or two after the trunks had been delivered, Mr. Porter said, the driver came to the farm and sought him out in the fleld where he was candidate for the Senate. Metcalf explained that his request was prompted by a realization that “it 15 so easy for an outsier to come into a State and make mistakes which would be very damaging to the elec- tion of the candidate.” RETIRED BROKER'S APARTMENT LOOTED | under the pledge against propaganda in the recent protocol preparatory to re- sumption of relations with Russia.
