News of the World ' By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1927.—EIGHTEEN PAGES UNITED STATES INTENDS TO STAND PAT ON NAVY PROPOSALS AS BASIS FOR FINAL AGREEMENTS AT GENEVA s srmsims 2t o s e Willing, of Course, to Make ‘Usual Conces- sions of Compromise But Will Not Agree to Radical Departures. Gibson Confers With Ishii Today — Question of Naval Bases Likely to Be ' Forced to Front. Washington, June 23 “(P—The state department exerted itself today to make clear that the American proposal presented at the Geneva arms conference representcd the best thought of the admingstration at this time, and thht barring the usual concessions of compromise on detail “the plan should be maintained as the basis for any final agreement. Dept. Is Optimistio Despite impressions cabled from Geneva that naval limitation pro- posals put forth by the three powers in the conference there were 50 widely divergent as to afford little margih for immediate common dis- cussion, the department tpday clung to its optimism that an eventual agreement would be reached. Hope was held that the American pro- posal for extension of the 5-5-8 prin- ciple of auxiliary craft would be ac- cepted virtually intact. ‘The American proposal had the careful consideration of President Coolidge as well as the state and navy departments and was held to np‘%ent this country’s minimum naval requirements. Therafore'it was emphasized that it could not readily be’ scrapped to accept a foreign substitute offering less'in the way of naval protection. British Counter Ilan The British counter propesal, which would revise features of the ‘Washington treaty concerring capi- tal ships and aircratt carriers, it was believed in some quarters here, would not be pressed to {he point of endangering the conference. The same vlew was taken of the Jap- anese proposal to maintain the status quo in auxiliary naval strength, Particular stress was placed on the Japanese stipulation that present naval strength be based on the num- ber of efficient shps which would eliminate from consideration more than 100 American destroyers and cruisers now beyond the .replace- ment age. It was assumed, however, that if the Japanese insist'upon their proposal use of the word ‘effective” would be accompanied oy some lib- eral interpretation so as not to re- strict this country’s naval construc- tion. As to the British program, the view was held that in addition to be- ing out of order at this fime because of its relation to the 1922 pact, it offered no tonnage limitation of (Continued on Page 13) DISABLED VESSEL GETS TOW INTO NEW LONDON Badly Battered Schooner With 29 Persons On Board Rescued " By Coast Guard New London, June 22 (M—Her sails gone, and showing other signs of the battering received in the ter- rific storms which have swept the Atlantic for the past five days, the 172 ton schooner Yukot, was towed into port today by the coast guard destroyer Shaw.

Houston, Tex, June 22 (A— Thirty-five long term white convicts who escaped from the Ferguson state prison farm near Madisonville, 80 miles north of here, at midnight last night, were believed to have been surrounded this morning in the densely wooded Trinity river valley near their camp.. Guards from the prison camp were reinforced by volunteers from all sections of Madison county, called by farm authorities to assist in the man hunt. = Most of the prisoners were serving long terms. Many were described as desperate characters. All efforts to communicate with the farm by telephone failed, in- dicating the convicts cut all wires. So far as could be learned no one was injured in the break. Saw Through Wall The men sawed through their bunk house and ran to a highway where they started toward a ferry on the Trinity river a short dis- tance northeast of the farm. Guards hastily took up positions near the ferry and the fugitives were turned southward before they could cross the river. Dogs aided in chuslnl the men into thickets along the river bank. ‘The section through which the chasé led is a swamp with mud several inches deep. It' is impassable in many places to anything except men on foot. Farm officials denied reports that the prisoners had commandeered automobiles and horses. The officers declared the men were driven into the woods before they had a chance to raid nearby ranches. Prison officials said they antici- pated little difficulty in capturing the men. They declared the dogs would be able to trail the prison- ers and that with the large force of guards and volunteers available | it was only a question of starving the fugitives into surrender. A messenger from the farm told police here that the fugitives were unarmed. He said they sawed through the side of their bunk house without attracting attention. Roads in Bad Shape Communication with the farm is limited to messengers on horseback, which due to the mud.is very slow. Recent rains have flooded bottom lands and added to transportation difficujties. The names of the fugi- tives were not announced and the prison headquarters at Huntsville was awaiting arrival of the list by courier. The guard, who djacovered the men as they were leaving, said there were 153 convicts in the bunk house. He covered several who were try- ing to crawl through the hole sawed in the floor with his shot gun and they surrendered. lve packs of bloodhounds were assigned to the chase. Authorities indicated no more would be need- ed. It was said that this was the largest number of prisoners ever to | escape from the farm.

Shearer, Jr., vice president of the Paine Furni- ture Company, on Bay State road in the Back Bay district early today. The dead: Janet Shearer, Mr. Bhearer. Bettlo Howes, 16, daughter of Henry Howes of Boston. Alice Scott, 32, housemaid. Helen McLaughlin, cook. Mrs. Annie Dickson, a governess, was rescued by firemen while cling- ing to the coping of an adjoining house. She escaped serious injury. The two girls and the cook were burhed . to death.’ Alice Scott was killed when she jumped from a fourth story window to the pave- ment. The fire started in the basement from an . electric iron which had been left on a shelf. The flames ‘worked up through the partitions to the hallway on the ground floor and then raced up the stairways. A night worker on the way home dis- covered the house ablase and turn- od o an Ahm 19, daughter of ‘When the firemen arrived they saw Mrs. Dickson hanging from the coping on the fourth floor of the house next door. She had made her way out a window and crawled out of reach of the flames. A ladder was run up and she was brought down safely. Shortly afterward the Scott wo- man was seen leaning out a rear window on the fourth floor of the burning. house. Without waiting for a ladder to be rdised and evi- dently hemmed in by the flames, she jumped and was picked up dead. One body was found at the head [} of the stairs on the second floor. The others were in rooms on other floors. It was apparent that the fire had spread so rapidly that the wo- men and girls had no chance of es- cape. Mr. Shearer had gone aboard his yacht Paprika last night for a oruise and Miss Howes, a friend, had come:to spend the night with Miss Shearer. The coast guard was notified to send word to the yacht of the tragedy and as the Paprika at the time could be seen in the outer harbor a patrol boat was sent B NON-UNION MINERS ROUGHLY TREATED BY NOB AT ADENA Town Hurl Stones as Men 60 to Their Work SRERIFF'S DEPUTIES ARE CALLED T0 RESTORE ORDER Outbreak Comes On Eve of Hearing In Federal Court By Which Union Miners Are Asked To Be Enjoined From Interfering With Activities of Those Who Are Working Their Old Jobs. Adena, Ohio, June 22 (UP)— Strikebreakers and sympathizers of idle union miners clashed here to- day. Workers en route in automobiles to the shafts of the Pittsburgh Coal company, Whch have been re-opened on a non-union basis, were stoned by a crowd of nearly 200 men and women. b Those in the automobiles missiles in retaliation. The crowd of union sympathizers was massed along the street leading to the mines. Order Is Restored Sheriff's deputies restored order and the men proceeded to the mines. The outbreak today came on the eve of a hearing before Federal Judge Hough, in Columbus, on an injunction restraining union men from interfering with the miners who are working. The temporary injunction came after a series of minor clashes be- tween the two factions. At the same time city and county officials were undecided over whether state guards- men should be sent to preserve or- der. A conference recently was held at which union leaders and city offi- clals reached a compromise to pre- serve the peace. The city agreed to repeal an anti-loitering ordinance and the idle men agreed to remain quiet. Repeal of ordinance was scheduled for last night but no ac- tion was taken.

Long were added this morning on motion of their counsel, to the list of those whose appeals from the rescinding | of their licenses to practice in Con- | necticut are being heard before | Judge Ernest C. Simpson in super- ior court here. Cases Set For July 5. Before court opened it was an- nounced by Judge Simpson that the cases of Doctors Lerner, Coppola, Desaunier, Feldman, Levy, Mower, Lilienthal and Campo, assigned for June 21, would come up before Judge Allyn Brown July 5. Dr. Robert Adcox, who last weck testified to his activities as an agent for the prcuring of students for the | St. Louis college of Physicians and | Surgeons, took the stand again at | the opening of the fourth day’s hear | ing on the appeals. Check Is Shown. A check given by Dr. Adcox to| Dr. Ralph L. White, a member of | the former eclectic examining board | itified before the royal customs com- | of Connecticut was introduced by speciol state’s Attorney James Car- penter and identified by the witne: “Under what circumstances did you give that check to Ralph Lewis White?” Attorney Carpenter asked Dr. Adcox. There was a storm of protests from defense counsel, but following | extended discussion Judge Simpson | admitted the question. “This check wes to refund to Dr. ‘White the money that he gave me to buy for him the better grade diploma that he had,” was the an- | swer. The check was for $1,150. Second Check Shown. A second check was offered in evidence, and Dr. Adcox was asked the circumstances under which it had been made. Attorney Carpenter explained to the court that the check was offered in view of the fact that Dr. James W. Cotner was one of those who had vouched for the moral character of Dr. James Bush. The check, Dr. Adcox explained, was a refund for his medical serv- ices, adding that it was for a medi- cal quiz course. Dr. Cotner failed to pass his examinations and the money was refunded to him. Letter Also Read. A letter signed by Samuel Posner and addressed to Dr. Adcox was of- fered in evidence by Attorney Car- penter, identified by the witness and read. Dated from Brooklyn, N. Y., it advised Dr. Adcox that; “I will fol- low your advice. Kindly have my | ‘D’ ready. Am Sending the balance { of the money—$500—in a few days. Expect to see you at Tennessee state | board."” When Dr. Adcox first took the stand he testified that he had re- freshed his memory as to previous testimony sirce the session last Thursday, and in response to ques- tions of Attorney Carpenter, he sald that before,the ““50-50" split of the money paid by students he had pro- cured for the St. Louls college, the laboratory fees for freshmen and sophomores were deducted. He had testified last week that at the second examination before the Connecticut board, at New Ha- ven in November, 1921, nothing had been said of a change in numbers. Today he testified that Dr. Alex- ander seated him and others of the applicant, putting Burstan beside him, The Same Examination. Max Feldman, he testified, said to him befors the examination start- ed: “This examination will be the same as Bill's examination.” Dr. Adcox had testified to helping Dr. Willlam Feldman with his an- swers to difficult questions, (Continued on Page 12) e L Summer Begins Today, the Longest of Year Washington June 22 (#—Sum- mer officlally made her debut today on the 'longest day of the year.
