Mr. Fitzpatrick, concluding the ar- gument, asked the commission “to apply the test of common sense and blow away some of this smoke.” The only question before it, he contend- ed lay in the advisability of allow- ing the Chesapeake & Ohio to pur- chase the Erie and Pere Marquette systems stocks, and.the determina- tion of whether it. was proposed to make such purchase at a fair value. He read extracts from Mr. Van Sweringen’s testimony offering to foreg® any personal profits on the sale of Erie stock to the Chesapeake L Ohio and declared that the Van Sweringen bank borrowings had been demonstrated to be based on ‘proper collateral and wholly uncon- cerned with the deposit of railroad funds in banks. - THOHIT BY AUTOS Griftin Hospital In Ansonia Has Two Patients, Each of Whom Is Car Victim.

Destroyers would be de- fined as not exceeding 3,000 tons and of speed not greater than 17 knots. Other auxiliary ships of limited combatant value would be grouped in & fourth class, whose restrictions would be subject to future agree- ment. The American plan, if adopt- cd by the powers, would be co- with the Washington treaty which runs until 1936 and thereafter for a period of two years after any signatory gives notice of intention to abrogate. Transition Period Minister Gibson explained a pro- vision of the new proposal which stipulates a period of transition from preésent cruiser, destroyer and submarine strength of the limita- tion set forth in his plan. During the period, which would be an in- definite number of years but cer- tainly ending before expiration of the treaty, cruiser and destroyer strength would be combined, but the excess above the 550,000 tons total prescribed for Great Britain and the United States and the 330,- 000 tons for Jepan in the limita- tion plan would be scrapped. The arrangement was included to obviate wholesale scrapping by the United States, for example, of its preponderance of destroyers while being deficient in cruisers. Under the plan the transition period would be employed by the powers to pare down or build up their cruisers or destroyers to fit the limitation scale. It was not expected that the con- ference would attempt to limit the duration of the transition period in- as much as the deciding factor so far as time was concerned would be the congressional and parMamentary decision upon the necessary appro- priations. Voluntary Scrapping Voluntary scrapping of obsolete ships would be permitted, but re- placements could not be made until the time limit of service of each class of vessel was reached. In the case of cruisers 20 years would be fixed as the effective age limit, 15 to 17 years for destroyers and 12 to 18 years for submarines. The proposal as revised just before the conference opened, contains this provisio: “It might be desirable to provide for the possibility of reconsideration in the event that requirements of national security of any contracting power in respect of naval defense are, in the opinion of that power, materially affected by any change of circumstances.” A Safety Clause The clause was looked upon as providing a safety element by which any of the contracting powers could remove itself from the restric- tions of the agreement should any neighboring power launch a naval bullding program of suspiciously formidable size. In his preliminary addresy, Am- bassador Gibson expressed confl- dence that “we can start with pured agreement on the- following points: “That in the interest of interna- tional understanding there should be no competition between the three powers in the building of naval armaments. “That our respective navies should be maintained at the lowest level compatible with national se- curity and should never be of a Bize of character to warrant the suspicion of aggressive infent: “That a wise economy in govern- mlent dictates that future naval con- struction should be. kept ‘to a minimum: “That thle methods and principles of limitations set forth in the Wash- ington treaty are both effective and should be extended to all_categories of combatant vessels of the three powers.” | 4 Coolidge's Message Ambassador Gibson’s first official utterance to the conference was the reading of a message to the dele- gates from President Coolidge. “I am deeply gratified,” the mes- sage sald, “that the representatives of the British Empire and of Japan are meeting with the representatives of the United States to consider measures for the further limitation of naval armaments through the ex- tensions of the principles of the ‘Washington party. *“An agreement rendering impos- sible any form of naval competition between the three powers will have a lasting influence in cementing the present relations of good under- standing between the three coun- tries and constitute a definite stcp in advance toward the common ob- jective of a general limitation of armaments. resentatives of the British Empire and of Japan that I am only inter- preting the overwhelming sentiment of the Amcrican people in stating that the United States will do its utmost to make such an agreement possible.” Mr. Gibson declared that the re- plies of Great Britain and Japan to the president’s proposals and the presence in Geneva of their repre- sentatives emphasized that they shared Mr. Coolidge's hopes and de- sires. “Our work,” he said, “is thus be- ginning under favorable conditions and we are fully justified in feeling that with a common purpose, a com- mon interest and mutual good: will, we shall find a satisfactory solution to the problem which has been in- trusted to us. “I am sure that I.voice the fecl- ing of all the members of the con- ference in expressing regret that ail the powers parties to the Washing- ton treaty have not felt that 'they could participate fully in our work. We. have no doubt, however, that both France and Italy share our desire that naval building programs thould be limited and I em con- fident that the repult of our work here will be of a character to fa- cilitate their tuture cooperation with Please assure the rep- | us in a task which the five powers initiated and which I trust will be carried forward by the five powers as & common enterprise in the intereat of peace.” The deliberations of the confer- ence, Mr. Gibson declared, “will have a far reathing influence as they will serve to determine not only the feasibility of the further progress in naval limitation, but will also have an important bearing upon the prac- ticabllity of the deavor to deal with the" general problem of arma- ments, “We must recognize,” he said, “that we are dealing with the least intricate phase of the problem of armaments. If we should fail to make definite progress a serious blow would be dealt to efforts which are being made to limit land and air armaments.” Ambassador Gibson pointed out to the delegates that the present Ambrican naval situation as regards auxillary vessels “is due in large measure to our reluctance to embark upon an extensive building program 80 long as thera is any hope that an early agreement may be reached for the limitation of such vessels.” It was well known, he said that President Coolidgo ‘has recently ex- erted his influence to postpone con- struction by the United States in the hope that it may be possible at this time to reach an agreement which will obviate the need or indqucement for further competitive building.” American Policy The American naval armaments policy, Mr. Gibson said,“ is guided solely by the desire- for adequate defense.” “Pursuant to this policy,” he said, \““the United States is prepared to ac- cept & general program providing | for as low a total tonnage in each class of auxiliary vessels on the basis of the Washington treaty ratio as will be acceptable to the other powers represented. Approaching the end of his ad- dress, Ambassador Gibson made brief mention of the possibility of an agreement among all nations to abolish submarines. “If it should eventually be pos- sible,” he ‘sald, “to reach a general agreement between all naval powers to abolish submarines, the United States would not be unfavorable to its consideration. My government realizes however, that such action in \order to be acceptable, must neces- sarily be universal.” DOGTORS IN BRAWL FOLLOWING HAZING Police Called in at Kings Gounty Hospital Brooklyn, N. Y., June 20 (UP)— It sounded ltke a major operation in | the Kings county hospital early to- day. / Howls and sounds of conflict were ; 50 alarming that someone telephoned for the police. A riot squad of detectives came. They found nine doctors &ll snarled up in & knot that took strenuous ef- forts to untangle. At the police station, three of the doctors, new internes at the hos- pital, accused the other six of var-| ious degrees of assault, battery, and specifically, the larceny of one toe- nail. The three said the six senior phy- sicians entered their dormitory, tied them to bed posts and announced they were going to haze them. They got as far as amputating part of Dr. Edward Kaskee's toenail when the! fun began. If there's eanything a doctor hates, it's to have the sub- cutaneous cuticle of one of his ter- minal digits interfered with. Police tried to arbitrate at the | station, but Kaskee and his com- panions, Louis Barow and Hyman Soloway, were adamant. The excised toenail was retained as evidence and the ‘six held on a charge of simple assault. They were doctors Frank Hannan, Willlam Willis, William Stratton, Charles Adamy, Kenneth Clough and Lawrence Armstrong.
