PRIVATE HEETING 70 DISCUSS S Naval Confereaces Being Held in Genera Today Geneva, Switzerland, July 6 UP— Private meetings today between Hugh 8 Gibson, American delegate, and Viscount Ishii of Japan, and later between Mr. Gibson and W. C. Bridgeman, British delegate, falled to improve the existing critical sit- uation confronting the tripartite naval conference. Lord Cecil, Admiral Sir Frederick Fleld and also Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, U. §. N., were present at the Anglo-American parley which, according to reliabl: report, was rather lively. Seems At Standstll The tripartite naval conference, with the United States, Great Brit- ain and Japan participating, is at a etandstill as far as Geneva is con- cerned. The next word lies with the gov- ernments in Washington, London and Tokyo. It is they who must help or even direct the solution of the cruiser problem which, it not settled, means the collapse of the conference. Apparently, Washington must tell London that the new maximum cruiser figures submitted by Hugh 8. Gibson embody America's last up- yard concecsion, if Washington real- ly means this; and Tokyo must let Downing street know how Japan re- gards cruiser limitations. The situation today is that the American delegation has told the British that limitation can only be achieved by keeping cruiser strength within 400,000 tons, which Is some 80,000 tons higher than the present American cruiser strength. The Americans say in effect: “We do not object to you having 70-odd cruisers if you really need them, but distribute the tonnage so that the total will not create a big excess over your present total tonnage.” To this the British answer: “We need about 70 cruisers, but if you Americans insist upon keecping large- size cruisers, then we must natural- 1y bulld our cruisers up to maximum size when the time comes to replace the old ships, some thirty of which are of 5,000 tons displacement or even less. If you will construct smaller ships, it will automatically bring down our total tonnage figures.” Thus this cruiser puzzle is the an- tiquated problem of the “viclous eircle.” Furthermore, Great Britain says: «Targe warships symbolize aggres- sion; small ones, defense. We need only small cruisers to protect our trade routes and food supplies. Eng- land simply cannot run the risk of being isolated, and anyway we didn't start this naval race.” The only practicable solution now in sight seems to be a private agree- meng with Great Britain that she will continue to build a certain num- ber of the small cruisers which she has -hitherto regatded as sufficlent In sige for colonial operations, as in- sistence upon the right to bulld 10,000 and 7,500-ton vessels would bring the British total near the 600,000 ton mark. British Opinion. London, July 6 (A—Public opin- fon here so far as can be gauged from the London morning newspa- pers, is not greatly excited over the impasse on the cruiser question at the Geneva naval conference. Some papers report the situation quite briefly, while others, which give 1t somewhat more space, do not com- ment. The London Times, alone in com- menting, attributes the “ridiculous eharge” that Great Britain sought to prevent naval parity to “mischiev- ous propaganda,” and describes the British proposals as the only prac- tical and detailed ones presented to the conference. “Exact naval calculations, based on the changing experience of cen- turles,” it says, “were offered as the ‘British contribution to the problem “raised by President Coolidge. They had nothing to do with any hypoth- esls regarding naval desires, aspira- tions and requirements of the Amer- fcan people. They were framed in response to President Coolidge’s in- vitation. They took fairly into ac- count the declared desire of the United States for agreed limitation and the permanent nedes of the em- pire. They are simply nothing more nor less than this. The chdrge of ulterfor subtle purposes on the part of the British delegation is hardly intelligible.” The paper claims that Great Brit- ain, and has done, and is doing, its very best to make President Cool- 1dge's enterprise successful, and thinks that a frank, practical agree- ment ought to be possible. VERDUN VETERAN WALKS AGAIN (Continued from First Page) that one must henceforth be a chevalier for that period before be- ing promoted to the rank of officer. Flight Over Brazil Paris, July 6 (UP)——An explora- tion flight over Brazil, by a fleet of multi-motored seaplanes, may be Commander Richard E. Byrd's next activity after his South Pole trip, he said today in an exclusive interview with the United Press. Opening of a vast unexplored area, of tremendous potential wealth in the Brazilian interior, was visnal- ized by Byrd through use of an ex pedition that would map the area, particularly rivers, by aerial photo- graphs. “I have often studied the possi- bility of undertaking an exploration flight through the heart of Brazil,” Byrd said, “but that would come after my flight across the South Pole. Special Planes Needed “It would be necessary to osganize the undertaking carefully, Wwith a fleet of planes each capable of con- tinuing even if ons engine went bad. *“8 would recommend monoplane seaplanes, with at least three motors each. “It would be necessary to carry sufficient fuel to guarantee return, and to take elaborate precautions to protect the crews against fevers and other dangers—including the possi- bility of being forced down finally and having to make a way on land and water back to civilization. Would Follow Amazon “Probably the best course would be to follow the Amazon river to its -headwaters. “There explorers would be certain to find great riches within the virgin forests. “This great area, perhaps the largest unexplored, should be open- ed up either directly under or in close collaboration with the Brazil- ian government.” South Pole Plans Paris, July § (UP)-——America and the rest of the world may be able to hear, by radio, Commandcr Richard E. Byrd announce from his plane the moment he and his companions fly over the South Pole next Decem- ber. Byrd, discussing his pluns for the South Pole adventure, dirclosed to- day that he has ordered a powerful wireless for the plane ;n which he will make the flight. A few minutes before he takes off from the edge of the Antarctic ice fields south of New Zealand to fly across the pole he will notity radia stations so they will be ready to pick up his message when he reaches the pole. Portable Wireless Sets Byrd intends to take with him portable wireless sets to he installed at his jumping off and at his land- ing base at the other «¢nd of the polar flight. Thus in case snowstorms prevent his navigator trom taking bearings from the sun, Byrd hopes to be able to cross-check his position by taking radio bearings from two directions. However spectacular may be the idea of talking to the world while flying across the muychical pole, Byrd's principal interest :n the flight is scientific. He hopes through the flight to be able to fill in r.aps which at present give only a sketchy out- line of the South Pole regions. To Confirm Theories He hopes to be able to confirm whether an extensive continent ex- ists or if it is broken up by water. Plans for the trip are still uncer- tain, he said, but he is thinking of trying to land at the pole with one of the two planes to be taken on the expedition, provided thit reconnoi- tering before the final take-off shows the possibility of landing znd taking oft at the pole without great dan- ger. Plan To Yand Bernt Balchen, who will be one of Byrd's companions on the trip, already has offered to land at the pole and keep the motor turning slowly while an attempt’is made by others in the party to find traces of previous expeditions to the pole. That feature of the flight, how- ever, will depend largely on the weather at the time the fight over the pole is made. CENSURE HOTION S INTRODUCED MacDonald ~ Starts Action Against Baldwin Govt. London, July 6 UP—Ramsay Mac- Donald, the British labor leader, to- day made his scheduled motion of censure of the Baldwin government in the house of commons on the gov- ment's scheme for reform of the house of lords. In the presence of a crowded house which showed the most in- tense interest, Mr. MacDonald ex- pressed Tegret that the government had put forward a scheme for fundamental changes in the house of lords without obtaining a mandate from the public. His motion, which was framed last week, declared that the govern- ment's reform scheme “Gerrymand- ers the constitution in the interests of the conservative party,” deprives the house of commons of the control of finance, entrenches the lords on & hereditary basis and takes from the electors the power to deal with the upper house. Previous to the opening of the house, the cabinet held a meeting and it is understood that the minis- ters approved a statement which Premier Baldwin proposed to make in reply to the laborite censure mo- tion. Speaking in support of the labor motion, Mr. MacDonald declared that the government's proposals seri- ously curtailed the privileges of the house of commons, made funda- mental alterations in the structure of the constitution, and trenched upon the royal prerogative. The proposals he charged, would change the political temper of the country seriously for the worse by glving ascendancy over the commons to a house enshrined in the consti- tution. “Whoever iz in office,” heé said, “the Torles are to be in power.” The government, he went on, was proposing with a temporary majori- ty to make permanent changes, without any attempt to get national agreement upon them. If that was not revolution, he did not know what it was. Never had a constitu- tional proposal been made with less justification. partisan move. $386,000 in Insurance Taken Out by Veterans July 2 being the final date for the reinstatement of government insur- ance, the municipal home service bureau remained open last week from §:30 a. m., to $:00 p. m., daily to accommodate veterans who de- sired to einstate their insurance. During this campaign, over 2,000 let- ters were mailed to ex-service men ladvising them of the final date to file application. During the week ,over 350 veter- ans were interviewed relative to the status of their insurance, and the amount taken out by the veterans at the home service bureau amounted to $386,500. | READ HERALD CLASSIFTED ADS | FOR BEST RESULTS b Later he went to Middlesex, | Anglo-American He termed it a mere | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1927 BELATED SUMMER COMES NORTH |[AW OF 1851 IS HELD DR. CAMPO DENIES HE WAS EXPELLED Eclectic Insists He Left School for Financial Reasons New Haven, Conn., July 7 P—A letter from Dean John H. Rowland of the Medical School of the Uni- versity of Maryland, stating that Dr. Anthony R. Campo of Stamford had been made to repeat his sophomore year and not allowed to rematricu- late later because of failures, failed | to shake Dr. Campo's testimony that {he had passed the sophomore year {and had left the institution for fi- {nanctal reasons. Dr. Campo was | testifying in his own behalf today {in superior court at the hearing of his and six other appeals from the revocation of their licenses to prac- tice eclectic medicine In Connecticut. Tells of Investigations Dr. Frederick Waite, of Cleveland, recalled to the stand at the opening | of today’s session, described condi- {tlons at the St. Louis college of { Physicians and Surgeons as his in- vestigations in 1923 and 1925 had shown them. Of the members of the senior class, he found that one had been admitted on the basis of alleged prior study at a non-existent school; another on his statement that he had studied for three years at an institution not then estab- lished: one because he had practiced veterinary medicine: about thirty because they claimed study at the Pacific Medical College, although the publication of that institution did not contain mention of them as stu- dents. Many similar instances were cited by the witness. Reasons For Dismissal None of the professors could re- call an instance of a man dropped from the rolls for scholastic reasons, but Dean Waldo Briggs was quoted |as remembering one man dropped “for scholastic reasons” after his im- prisonment for performing an flle- gal operantion. Dean Briggs was quoted as saying that “if they didn't pay their tuition he kicked them out,” however, The number of students in work- ing clothes, Dr. Waite testified, led him to inquire of the secretary of the college “how many real students they had in the school at the time.” “He sald three and named them,” Dr. Waite said. Unsatisfactory School Since 1909, Dr. Walite sald, the St. Louis college had been rated a grade C'or “entirely unsatisfactory” insti- tution. The Middlesex college, from which Doctors Camp, Lilienthal, Levy, Lerner and Mower all received parts of their education, had never been more than grade C, and much of the time rated “nonde- seript” or Dr. Campo Testifles Dr. Campo was first called to the stand by the state, and later testi- fled in his own behalf as a means of shortening the proceedings. As de- scribed in his testimony he was graduated from grammar and high schools connected with Trinity church, in New York, and received a scholarship to Trinity college, Hartford, for his scholastic excel- lence. Instead of using this he went to Baltimore Medical college for a year, and this being merged then with the University of Maryland, at- tended there two years, leaving in March of his junior year because of shortage of money. in Cambridge, Mass., and studied eclec- ticism there, repeating his interrupt- ed junior year and passing all but one subject. Hearing rumors, soon after his senior year there opened, that the institution was to close, he went to the 8t. Louis college, took a | three hour examination in the junior subject he had failed, and passing the examination, was admitted to the senfor class and graduated the next day. i First Failed to Pass [ He failed in his eclectic board ex- | aminations in July, 1921 in Connectl- | cut but passed them in November. Later, learning.that no list of ap- proved institutions had been filed with the state by the eclectic board as required by law, he applied for, | took, and passed a third examinatior. after such a list had been filed. It was in his cross examination Special Attorney General Carpenter introduced the letter from the Mary- land university dea.. saying that after failing his sophomore year there, Campo had failed so many subjects his next year' that he had been dropped. Campo denied this. Commander Byrd Gives Two Kisses to Girl Parls, July 6 (P—A modestly dressed French girl of about 20 who presented Commander Richard E. Byrd with a bunch of violets this afternoon was rewarded with two kiss& from the commander of the transatlantic crew of the America. The girl, who was among a great crowd which had gathered near the restaurant at which the American aviators were luncheon guests of the Press assoclation, made her way up the stalrway and announced that she had a bouquet to present to the comamnder. The usher demurred but the girl insisted and finally succeeded in carrying the violets to Commander Byrd who already was seated at the table of honor. The commander arose, blushed, took the bouquet hesitatingly and then on a sudden impulse kissed the girl upon both cheeks amid the vociferous applause of the guests.

Woman Has Sued Telegraph Company After Her Car ¢ it a Pole Boston, July 6 UP—A law which had stood on the statute books of Massachusetts since 1851 was held unconstitutional by the state su- preme court today. Irene Vigeant had brought suit against the Postal Telegraph company for damages for injuries sustained when the automo- bile in which she was riding struck a pole of the company at Lowell, under the law which said, “a tele- graph company shall be ilable in damages to the person injured in his person or property by the poles, wires or apparatus of such a com- pany.” The plaintiff made no claim of negligence on the part of the com- pany. Chief Justice Rugg in e opinion wrote that when the law was passed the telegraph was the only instrumentality for transmitting intelligence by electricity ‘or trans- mitting electricity at all. It is now an unequal law since telephone, street raflway, electric light, heat and power companles are excluded and the telegraph companies ' only suffer the absolute liability, “It is nothing new in constitutiona) law,” he wrote, “that a statute valid at one time may be void at another time because of altered circum- stances.” Judgment was entered for the defendant.

Hartford, Conn.,, July 6 (P—An application for the appointment of a receiver to liquidate the Connecticut Valley Tobacco associatjon and thus take the dissolution of the organiza- tion out of the hands of the present officers, is expected to be made with- in a few days by the committee of twenty-five growers opposed to the plan of the directors who want to continue the association as at pres- cnt constituted until all the tobacco is sold. This committee has been in con- sultation with Attorney J. H. Peck of this city the past month and the dissenting members of the associ- ation are now prepared to ask the court for a receiver. Mr. Peck to- day admitted he has been consulted by this group but at this time was not ready to discuss what action will be taken nor announce‘that he has been engaged as counsel for the committee. The committee has been active for somdé time obtaining signatures among the members to a petition that would make this proposed ap- plication for receivership legal. ‘When the directors recently voted to continue the association as at pres- ent, Harold M. Newberry, a member of the committee said that sufficient signatures had been obtained to warrant legal action. The directors at this meeting discussed the move- ment of the committee and came to the conclusion that a receivership would result in large losses to the growers and a reduction in the market value of the crop on hand. The committee and their supporters, however, want an ithmediate liquida- tion of the crop and dissolution of the association with ' the affairs of ithe company remover from the con- trol of the present officers. One of the committeemen said this afternoon that a week ago four hundred members of the association had signed the petition and since then the number has increased whereas only 200 signatures were necessary to bring the matter before the court.
