NEW BRITAIN HARDING URGES SENSIBLE ACTION Does Not Want Lesser Dilferences to Impair Treaty Washington, Dec. 24 (By el Press) Conference dele hoped to conclude at today's session of the full naval committee their dlsgussion of the British proposal for abolitlon of the submarine and with a decision on that ssue the way for consideration of the question of auxillary tonnage allotment for France under the limitation plan, While the I'rench delegates were known today to received addi- tional instructions from Paris on that subject, they apparently have taken the position that the abolition pro- posal should be carried to a decision before they present for committee ac- tlon detall figures on the submarine and other auxillary tonnage desired by France on this viewpoint appears to have been approved by the other powers, In the long three cornered debate In which the submarine discussion was carried forward in the naval com- mittee yesterday, however, Admiral De Bon of I'rance already has strong- ly intimated the position of his coun- try on the question of auxiliary ton- nage in declaring “that 90,000 tons is the absolute minimum for all the navies who may want to have a sub- marine force.” He expressed the opin- fon that the conference could not ‘“reasonably limit submarine con- struction at all.” For the British group yesterday's debate was carried on by Arthur J. Balfour, head of the delegation who reiterated and extended arguments al- ready advanced by Lord Lee for abol- fshment of submarines, while Senator Schanzer of Italy, the only other par ticipant further stated the opposition of his country to such action at this time and said the Italian delegation felt the problem should be “examined subsequently in a wider conference.' The unfinished business of the con- ference shared the attention of dele- gates today with the new prominence given the four power treaty discus- sions by President Harding's public statement Jate yesterday characteriz ing the differences over interpretation of the pact as ‘“‘unimportant.”” De- claring he would offer no comment on the disputes which attempt to magnify the differing construction of the treaty, Mr. Harding asked that the lesser questions of difference he not permitted to obscure the central pur- pose of the agreement to preserve peace. tes to clear have City Items Pianos, Victrolas, C.

Yesterday four craft-—the Adriatic, I'rederick VIIL, American Legion and Sedrie—came plowing through the fog. The liners were held somewhat in check by the murk, however, for there were limits of caution beyond which masters dared not press their ships. Whenever a few hdurs, tuned up far and though the however, weather cleared for the vessels were above efficiency speed, the coal consumption grew greater with every knot added to the speed thousands of dollars' worth of black difamonds were hurled into the roaring fireboxes. Many passengers were business men who had only with greatest difficulty ~in some instances by airplane flights across the channel had been able to reach the last boat calculdted to get them home in time to fire the yule- tide log in some weatern town. Their hopes fell with the fog and the trip from quarantine up the harbor they could be seen standing at the rail thelr watches in their hands, figuring the chances of catching the train on which they were counting. Wireless shacks were kept busy with radio messages changing train accommoda- tions and reserving taxis for a dash from dock to station. Not a minute was lost at the piers. There steamship lines had extra men m duty to make landing a swift pro- eeding and custom officials did thelr hest to speed things up. 1,100 IMMIGRANTS ALLOWED TO LAND Uncle Ssam Gives Them Special Priv- ilege as Christmas Present— Quotas Exceeded.

The timely Yuletide order of Com- missioner of Immigration Davis per- mitting the anxious and unhappy throng to join their , relatives and friends for a period of 90 d , was received with great joy. When the news was circulated in a medley of tongues, families embraced and children clasped their hands and danced. Old men and women wept silently over the prospect of being with sons and daughters on the uni- versal day of gladness. The immigration staff was taxed to the utmost in getting in order the pa- pers and release of the fortunate ones. Clerks and inspectors continued their labors throughout the night and, this morning, all start on their journeys to various parts of the country were making preparations to be on their way. Many of those bound for points in N York state and New Jersey got away last night.

On learning of the memorandum by Judge Thomas, Mr, Alcorn immediate- ly announced that he will ask for a speedy trial. Mr. Alcorn said that ths date had practically been agreed | upon in case of an adverse decision | by counsel for tue accused Lawyer Calnen has announced that owing to other business matters it will be im- possible for him to appear in court on January 3. Mr. Alcorn on learning of the finding of Judge Thomas, re- marked that it was as good as a Christmas present, The Memorandum The text of memorandum by Thomas is as follows “The indictment against the defend- ant charges him in two counts with a violatien of Section 117 of the penal code. To this indictment the defend- ant files a demurrer and a motion to quash. They were argued together and will be declded together “It s charged in the motion papers and at argument that the indictment is fatally defective for two,reasons— first—because the date on which the alleged offense in each count was committed is not set forth; and sec- ond—Dbecause the offer is not | charged with sufficient particularity or sufficient certainty to appraise the defendant of the alleged criminal acts committed by him. “An extended discussion on the law of the main points raised and con- sldered at argument seems entirely unnecessary as both points have been s0 frequently discussed by many judges of the federal courts, so that to merely cite the cases seems suffi- cient. “Upon the authorities States v. Conrad, 59 Fed. States v. Howard, Younge v. United St Ledbetter v. 612, and Section 1025 n) fl\l’ Rev Statutes (section 1619 of the Com- piled Statutes) the demurrer and mo- tion to quash on the ground that the exact dates are not set forth in the indictment, must be decided adverse- ly to the defendant's ims. Tpon the authoriti of Unfited States v. Bannon, 166 U. S. 464; Dur- land v, United States, 161 U. 8. 306; United States v. Ledbetter, 170 U. 8. 61 United States v. Crulkshank, 7. 8. 658; United States v. Carill, 105 U. S. 611 and Howenstine v. United States, 263 TFed. 1, the demurrer and motion to quash must also be de- cided against the defendant. “The demurrer {s therefore over- ruled and the motion to quash is de- nied. “Ordered accordingly Judge | of United $; United 325; . 788; NON-GOVERNMENT PAPER.
