HOOVERDECLARES DISARIG EOAL ¢ tition Bearing Signatures of 150,000 Citizens. ! A common goal of world dsarmament ective of the leaders of the nations, dent Hoover said yester day upon being presented with a 150,- | N00-signatiire petition borne across the continent by members of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom urging universal disarmament. , In 200 automobiles placarded with | *World Disarmament” banners, the peace delegation, numbering 500, Tolled | up to the White House, completing a | California-to-Washington tour. The petition car of the caraven, starte from Hollywood last June, had trav- eled 10,000 miles, visiting 25 States and 125 cities. Received in East Room. Standing in the ornate east room of the White House, the Chief Executive listened to speeches by leaders of’ the organization in presenting the petition. They asked for vast cuts in anmtament . expenditures. “I appreciate deeply your coming to me,” Mr. Hoover replied, speaking in a quiet, even tone. “You realize as well as I the favorable attitude of the Presi- dent on the limitation of world arma- ments. I am grateful for your effort to mobilize public opinion. a government can go heyond the sup- port that can be gained from public | opinion in a world where democracy Tules “There is no statesman at t*e head of | any government in the world today that has not expressed himself as de- sirous of attaining these ends. “I am glad to receive your petitions and will act as their custodian until you wish to use them elsewhere.” No Mention of War Debts. The President made no mention of war debts and reparations, a subject that has been interlocked with disarm- ament in recent weeks. Mr. Hoover intends to demand a reduction of Eu- rope’s military and naval expenditures before he concedes the nations of that continent any further financial relief. Jane Addams, 7l-year-old Chicago settlement worker and founder of the league, stepped stanchly at the head of the delegation as it entered the White House. In a clear, strong voice she pictured to President Hoover the world-wide peace petition campaign of the organization. “We admire your effort toward dis- armament,” she said, “and we come here in the hope that it might influ- ence the opinion of the world.” Taft's Daughter Speaks. She introduced Mrs. Helen Taft Man- ning, dean of Bryn Mawr College, as “the Miss Helen” of the Taft adminis- tration. Mrs. Manning made her plea for disarmament in its relation to un- ‘employment, “Never in the world's history,” she sald, “has there been more reason to lock for united effort by all nations to end war.” “With the disastrous effects of the last war still perceptible on every sidé, With national government everywhere facing stupendous deficits. with men and women facing destitution and starvation as a result of economic dis- location following war, surely we may hope that the patty rivalries which stood in the way of better international understanding may disappear.” Miss Cook Drives Car. ‘The “Petitions Car,” driven by Miss Dorothy Cook of Washington, who has been with the caravan throughout its transcontinental journey, arrived at the District line yesterday morning, bring- ing as passengers Miss Addams of Hull House and international president of the Women's League, Mrs. Hannah Clothier Hull of Swarthmore, Pa., na- tional chairman: Miss Katherine Devereux Blake of New York, member of the national board and also a trans- continental crusader, and Miss Mabel Vernon of Wilmington, leader of the —_——— SPECIAL NOTICES.

Baber. Charges against there two, Cecil Mason and Maurice O'Connor, will be heard by the grand jury this week when the Baber beating case is presented. Mason and O'Con- nor are charged with obstructing jus- tice. The United States marshal's office has succeeded in lining up the small army of witnesses for their second ap- pearance, ajthough the status of sev- eral has changed during the prosecu- tion lull. Walter Johnson, whose charges brought indictments from the | disqualified jury against Mostyn and Laflin, will appear not only as a wit- | ness against the police, but in the role of defendant, too. He was arrested last week on a burglary charge and held for the grand jury. Another witness has been convicted on a criminal charge since he testified before the July jury, it is understood. Claim “Ironclad” Evidence. | One witness almost escaped from testifying. He is Willilam Sullivan, one of a ‘quintet of prisoners at Occoquan, who made a break for liberty Friday night. Sullivan and a companion were captured, but the others made good their escape. These developments will bearing on the third-degree cases in which the witnesses are involved, it is declared, because their testimony is amply supported by so-called “iron- clad” evidence. Other cases to be presented to the jury tomorrow, in addition to the Harker and Walter Johnson beatings, probably will_include the alleged polics attacks on Preston Brooks and John F. Miller, both of whom, like Johnson, are col- cred. The invalid indictment in the Brooks case named Mostyn again, while | the Miller presentment charged Police- | man George E.

Plani in labor’s platform for they| coming year were lald during the first.| week of the convention, but the trou blesome problems of prohibition, Philip ine independence, labor conditions at: oover Dam and unemployment insur- ance are among those listed for settle- ment during the coming week. | ~ Committee hearings on various vex- ing questions continued today, although most of the delegates took a holiday. ‘Tomorrow many of the delegates will | attend churches in the city, with labor leaders occupying several pulpits.

The convention mniay be concluded by Thursday night. » Sales Tax Opposed. Among the pronouncements which have been accepted by the convention for its platform have been molutgns voicing. opposition to a sales tax a burden on those least able to pay; ad- vocacy of universal adoption of 'the five-day wieek, with the Governmrent taking the lead by: granting postal em- ' ployes two days off in seven; demand- ing extension of the prevailing wage scale to all Fedenal projects, and urg- ing investigation of the labor policies of industries requesting changes in tariff laws. The first week also saw the crystal- lization of sentiment. on the prchibi- tion quertion apd, although the recom- mendation of the Resolutions Com- mittee will not. be known until next week, convention leaders, both wet and dry, expressed conviction that labor’s stand for 275 per cent beer, taken several years ago, would be reiterated, Denounce Prohibition. This despite two resolutions, one de- manding repeal of the eighteenth | amendment and the other repeal of | the Volstead act and severe and open | denunciation of prohibition by many delegates. These resolutions, it was | felt, would be sidetracked and the | Executive Council’s stand for beer would be given preference. Speakers during the week both praised and condemned the idea of unemployment insurance, subsidized by | the Government. The Executive Coun- cil of the federation, in its report, in- dicated it felt such insurance would be unnecessary if work and the ear of the realm Living Room Furpiture . .. and its name is Freizette.
