'ESTABLISHED 1870 Prepared To Insist That Disarmament Conferences Be Held Through League Of Nations Only — Sec- ond Session Is On. By The Assoclated Pres: Geneva, Sept, 2.—+The smaller na- tions of Europe, especially the mem- bers of the little eatente, manifested today their determination to achieve some international fact which they consider will safeguard their secur- ity when they selected ¥oreign Min- ister Duca, of Rumanla, to preside over the important deliberations of the third assembly commission which is to probe the entire prob- lem of disarmument and security. There seems here to be a distinct movement, under the apparent lead- ership of France, to ineist that all international deliberations for the limitations of armaments shall be held through the mechanism of the ®¥ague of Nations. If this move- ment develops, it may side track, it i6 thought, the American govern- ment's reported intention to convoke a new disarmament conferench, un- iess it be definitely linked with the lcague, For the moment, at least, the movement is entirely confined to the lobby discussions of the delegates. It affirms the belief that the attempt to make the limitation of armaments wholly dependent on the establigsh- ment of a clean-cut pact of secur- ity is gathering force. Thureday and Friday have been lefinitely set apart for the assembly lebate on disarmament and secur- ity, with Prime Minister MacDon- ald of Great Britain and Premler Herrjot of France the chief speak- rs. Greece came out strongly today ‘or the Armenians when ehe intro- iuced a resolution providing for the iransfer of the Armenian refugees to he Cawusasus and the creation there »f an Armenian national home, Six Commissions President Motta opened the sec. nd day of the Leaue of Nations as- -mbly. &t the .atroke 6f Hoon by innouncing the formation of the six commissions of the aséémbly, These ard; On legal and constitutional ques- iong; technical organization; re- luction ‘of Armaments; budgetary and financlal questions; social and ‘eneral questions; political ques- Lions. The election of the six vice-presi- Jents of the assembly resuited in the hoice of: Leon Bourgeois, France; Lord Parmoor, England; ex-Premier Ba- iandra, of Italy; Count Skrzynsky, foreign minister of Poland; Wran- eisco J. Urrutia, Colombian minister t5 8witzerland; Tang Tsai Fou, Chi- nese minister to Switzerland. The election of M. Duca, ons of the leaders of the little entente, was interpreted in the assembly as strengthening the forces behind France in support of the pact of mu- tual assistance. vakia and Rumania have insisted that the present pact should be made stronger 8o as to afford more effec- tive and prompter military assistance to the emaller countries. Rumania, particularly, insists upon fortifying the military assistance feature. Discourage Disarmament Meetings, The spokesman for one European delegation, expressing what he termed his personal views on dis- armament congresses, said that iso- lated conferences similar to that held at Washington seemed out of place while a permanent institution like the league existed, with experts devoting years of study to the tech- nique and difficulties of reducing armaments. Furthermore, he added, it was this study, made from an in- ternational standpoint, which was best. The impression prevails here that those powers which feel most keenly about the questibn of security will be slow to participate in any new conference affecting land and naval armaments until some solution of the problem of eecurity is found. These powers believe that military force and exist somewhere in the background, even when the secret of the security problem has been dis- covered, and, it is sald, they will not be eatisfied with extension of the principle of asbitration as a remedy. A committee representing the Eyrian-Palestine congress today eir- culated a manifesto protesting sgainst what was termed the “im- perialist regime” impoeed upon Syria under the cloak of a mandate, and the “slicing up” of the country by the powers, thus destroying the national unity. The manifesto de- manded that the league assembly senid an impartial commission to Syria to conduct an investigation. It also insisted upon the recognition of the independence of Syria Policy of Arbitration By The Assoclated Press. Geneva, Sept. 2.—In view of the emphasis placed in the lLeague of Nations assembly on the desirability of wider acceptance of the policy of obligatory arbitration the delegates are looking into the guestion of ex- actly whers the league standa with reference to acceptance of the op- tional clause in the protocol of the permanent court of international jus- tice.

GIONFRIDDO ACCUSED Prisoner Said to Have Punched and Kidked ‘Septuagenarian Breaking His Hip—Allowed His Iiberty on Bond of $300. John Fox of 3 Washington place is in a critical condition at the New Britain General hospital as a result of injurles sustained. when, the pol- ice say, he was knocked down to the sidewalk last night by Joseph Gion- friddo. Fox is suffering from a broken hip and other injuries, and as he is about .74 years old, little hope s held for his recovery by hospital authorities, He was taken to the hospital in an unconsclous conditlon and was still unconsclous this afternopn. Glonfriddo was arrested after the alleged assault by Patrolman Wil- liam Grabeck and arraigned in pol- ice court this morning where the case was continued until October 2. He was released under $300 bonds. According to the results of an In- vestigation, .Glonfriddo and two frlend were walking abreast on Washington strest and Fox was walking towards them in the op- posite direction. Gionfriido is alleg- ed to have punched the man to knock him out of the way instead of breaking the line in ‘which they were walking to allow Fox to pass. After knocking Fox down, the de- fendant is alleged to have kicked him while he was still lying on the stdewallk. LEAVES §14,830 ESTATE Amm{ B, Campbell Had Money In- vested in Bonds—Willlam E.

CHINESE WAR LORDS RAISE ARMY FOR LONG CAMPAIGN Every Available Man Being Impressed — Shanghai Lacks Com- munication With In- terior. —_— By The Associated Press, Shanghal, Sept. 2.—The hostilities In Kiangsu and Chekiang provinces have caused the rival war lords of those provinces to realize the neces- sity of ralsing armies large enough to last through the long and severe campaign which they apparently consider the situation will bring about, and everywhere in the af- fected areas a policy of wholesale conscription, is belng carrled on, ac- cording to advices from the interior. Farmers, artisans, coolles—in fact, every man able to hold a gun, carry a bucket or a burden of any sort— are being pressed into service, The countryside therefore appears de- serted with the exception of old men, women and children, In this process the clty of Nan- king, Kiangsu, has been virtually cleaned out and the well-to-do classes are taking refuge in flight. Houses, furniture, implements, boats —in fact, everything possible +to commandeer—have been taken by the troops, who exercise complete tyranny, the reports declare, wher- | ever they go. Conflict May Be On Shanghal has been cut off from railway and telegraph communica- tion with the inland since morning, but it is impossible to confirm num- erous reports that a major military conflict has begun. The Blue Express train for Peking left at midnight last night and is known to have arrived at Quinsan but whether it proceeded northward is not known, The Nanking express due here at 7 o'clock this morning, has not been heard from. Railway officials are without authentic in- formation, but express a belief that no fighting had occurred up to noon. One unconfirmed report.was re- ceived that the bridge at Henll had been blown up. One train was stacted morning to go as far Nansing to transport to Shenghai about a out this thousand refugees who had gathered there. It is believed that the telegraph Haven, | shop™ plan and propaganda lines have been cut by the forces of Lu Yung Hslang In Chekiang pro- vince to prevent the dispatching of trains, which, it is reported, the riorthern forces have been seizing and converting into troop carriers. Censorship At Peking By The Assoclated Press Peking, Sept. 2.—In view of the military situation in the Yantse val- ley the P#king garrison has placed a censorship on railways, post offices and telegraph offices throughout the metropolitan area. Commerciza! and financlal organi- sations and members of parliament, whose provinces are affected, are making renewed efforts to avert armed conflict on the Yangtse, Tsao Kun, president of China, is said also to be exerting his influence in a similar effort.

Marion, Iil, Sept, 2.— A delega- tion from the ministers’ association of Willlamson county came here to- day to ask the county beard to re- quest Sheriff George Galligan's res- ignation. State troops on duty since Batur- day, when six men were killed in a clash between members of the Ku Klux Klan and the county sheriff and his deputies, prepared early to- day to return to Springfield. Seventeen troopers under com- mand of Captain H. M. Bigelow, were ordered to remain in Herrin until released by Sheriff George Gal- ligan. The order for the withdrawal of the troops came yesterday after State's Attorney Delos Duty had ex- pressed disapproval of the action to Adjutant General Carlos Black. Black And Cralg Appear Today Dr. J. T. Black, superin- tendent of the Herrin hospital and John Cralg, held under $10,000 bond in connection with the slayings Sat- urday were to be arraigned in the Herrin city court on murder charges before Judge B. N. Bowen, agalnst whom a murder warran} also has been {ssued. Included in yesterday's develop- ments was a statement issued by the ministers’ assoclation of Willlamson county, in which the state’s attorney and sheriff were classed as incom- petents and their removal from of- fice suggested as the remedy for & situation that has long harassed the eople. of Hetrin and cost the 3 ‘&’ny men and the money [of the state. Ministers Friendly To Klan At the'time the ministers’ asso- clation sought to draw up their opinions fn a definite resolution, State’s Attorney Duty, in Marion, denounced the organization for what he termed their friendliness for the klan, and charged Adjutant General Black with being a member of the hooded order. The general, when asked, declined to reply to the charge, other than to tay, “I would not lend dignity to such an absurdity by denying Mr. Duty's statement.” Charges And Countercharges Throughout the day, charge and countercharge came to light as war- rants charging murder were served by either faction. Among those who were served in- cluded the county sheriff and sev- eral of his deputies, as well as the state's attorney, all of whom gave bond and were released, Nine alleged klansmen, including J. H. Smith, owner of the garage In front of which the deadly affray took place, were mnamed, arrested and released on bond, TWENTY-FIVE HURT | Occupants of Trolley Car Which Hit Motor Truck Were on Way to Coney—Motorman May Die.

Declares Issue Is Whether Town Is to Remain Ins dependent or Be “Mere Political Tool of New Britain.” In a letter mailed today to the voters of Burlington, George Wy Hull, who seks to go to the legisla= ture on the republican ticket this fall, openly charges that “no powes has done what the city of New Brite ain has done to ruin this town.” Mr. Hull's platform is built around the plank that. New Britain should pay taxes on its extensive reservelr located in the town of Burlingtoms His letter contains the statements “And further, the city of New Brits ain boldly maintains on our board of relief as a member, its representative in Burlington who has the power to have the final decision as to what taxes it shall pay.” Asked by the Herald for the name of the man, he | replied: “Joseph Paradise, who has charge of New Britain's reservolr in Burlington.” Mr. Paradise is a mema ber of the Burlington board of res lief. In his appeal to the voters for sup- port, Mr. Hull declares that the real issue in the Burlington campaign is: “Is the town of Burlington to be & | self-governing unit of political ine | dependence or is it to be a mere litical tool of New Britaln?” swering his own question, he “I cannot believe that this' England town in which thres gé ations of Hulls before T resided | has descended . to temptible political 1é Mr. Hull Mr. Hull's lefter "5»13 follows: “Recently the undersigned was a of Burlington as delegate to the dise trict senatorial convention of the re- publican party and was elected to this position with but few dissenting votes, | “Despite this fact, following ' the | adiournment of the caucus as sverye one present knows, the result wap protestad fo the chairman of the caucus and the most vigorous objec- tor perhaps was the representative of the city of New Britain who lives in the town of Burlington. “I am thoroughly convinced that this protest by New Britaln’s ape pointed representative in Burlingtem is a challenge to the voters of Bur | lington. | “Every thinking citizen in' Bup« lington knows that no power has done what the city of New Britain | has done to ruin this town. Not only ' has it built an expensive reservolr on which plant it pays not one pen= ny of taxation to the town of Bur- lington, but it has purchased farm after farm, miles away from ity res- | ervoir and to an extent perhaps not equalled in Connecticut. -Living om many of these farms were once subs | stantial, prosperous citizens whoss | loss to Burlington can never be eg= timated in dollars and cents. . Bub i | every instance when a prosperous | farm has been taken over, ‘Burifngs {ton has been the loser when thers (is taken into consideration the taxa= | tion loss.on buildings, tools; " hay grain and livestock.
