Geneva Switzerland, Aug. 4 (®- 4 The tripartite maval conference came to an unsuccessful end today. After nearly seven weeks of discus- | sion the delegates of the United v States, Great Britain and Japan found themselves unable to reach an agreement on the limitation of « Cruisers, destroyers and submarines, which was the object of the confer- ence. A last moment attempt was made by Great Britain to rescue something from the wreckage of the conference when W. C. Bridgeman, chief Brit- ish delegate, proposed an agreement 1 1estricted to destroyers and subs. Hugh S. Gibson, head of the ‘American delegation, declined to en- tertain this suggestion, which was presented at a secret session of the plenjpotentiaries held at midday on the ground that the United States considers the limitation of cruisers, ¥ destroyers and submarines as onec indivisible whole. The last act of the conference was the adoption of the joint motion of , adjournment with the declaration that the governments of the three powers represented be invited to give new consideration to the problems p'involved in the hope that the gov- " zrnments would be able to reach an early solution. In this joint declaration, the con- ference also registered its convic- tion that the obstacles encountered at Geneva should not. be accepted as terminating efforts "o bring about future limitations o naval arma- mernits. The declaration says: trary the delegates trust that the measure of agreement which has been reached here will make it pos- “sible for consultations between the governments to find a basis recon- ciling the divergent views and lead to early conclusion of an agreement 4 for limitation of auxiliary naval ves- _sels which will permit of substantial economy, and, while safeguarding national security, promote a feeling of mutual confidence and good un- “derstanding.” Gibson’s Final Address.

Byrd's scientific expedition into the Antarctic prom- ises to be one of the most stupen- dous undertakings in history and will cost about a quarter of a million dollars. This, Commander Byrd admitted, is an extraordinarily large sum, but | declared it really a conservative one measured against the size of the ex- pedition, the distance the supplies will have to be transported and the fact that two, -and perhaps three years, will be required for its com- pletion. Commander Byrd said that Edsel Ford will not be the sole backer of the expedition. He said conferences have been arranged Wwith other men who have been interested in the ex- pedition and who have expressed a desire to back it financially. The commander dechned to reveal the names of the projected backers. What is more important, he said, is the breadth of prepamtion that must he made before the flight to the South Pole, which, in itself, will not take more than a dozen hours or so. At the major base in Discovery Bay, a miniature modern city for 30 Port- able houses will be brought from Norway to serwe as homes and work- shops for the scientists, mechanies and fliers who will comprise the community. The houses will he provided with telephones, and heat will be fur- nished by oil and coal. A radio sta- tion. operating on a short wave is expected te maintain communication with the United States. An airdroma will be erected at the edge of the city for the hous- ing of the two planes that will he used in the expedition. There will be no automobiles in the expedition, but there will be several small tractors for towing the planes to the runways and for trans- portation of supplies. A large amount of canned goods will be taken along, but the party expeets to depend.for meat on birds, polar hears and other Antarctic ani- mal life. Commander Ryrd said he and his pilot on his flight to the North Pole, have heen work- ing on the plans for the last three weeks and have made kable progre: “It really is a stupendou taking,” he said, “and it scems to be growing more so every moment. Requests have come to me from all over the country—from scientists asking me to do {his and that; from individuals who want to go: from companies that want me to take this or that product along.” under- FULLER'S STAND Boston, Aug. 4 (P— flos 8.

All Brattices Destroyed The rescue workers were ham- pered in their progress as all the brattices of the pit shaft were de- stroyed in the explosion. They were forced to econstruct new brattices as they went down into the pit and had progressed as far as the eighth level. The men who were missing were belfeved to be on the tenth level where the ex- plosion eccurred. Little hope is held that they are alive. . The air in the mine was report- ed to be bad, and Byrd Sampson, one of the 41 rescue workers, was overcome by afterdamp. He was | brought to the surface dnd revived through first-aid treatment. No fire has been discovered thus far. The rescue workers include three crews provided with gas masks, and these may be augmented by other men to press the work more rapidly should it be deemed practicable, said T. E.

PAONESSA MAY HAVE HAT IN RING { Rumors Tat Fornér Mayor Might Run Again nies Mayorality Ambition. Local political discussion, revived this week by ex-Mayor George A. Quigley's declaration against the ad- ministration’s was taken in some circles as the in- ciplent move in a new mayoralty campaign by the anti-organization chief, was given new impetus today ! when it was learned that former Mayor Angelo M ning to close out Paonessa is plan- his interests at Britain to re-engage in business. The reports of Paonessa's plan, which comes from intimates of the | democratic hope for mayor, connect | him with a new automobile corpor- | ation of which he is expected to be hotel and real East Hampton, Paonessa ws in the automobile sales and garage business lon Hartford avenue, and he is still the owner of the huildings which which formerly housed the business. He has maintained his residence on quent caller around | haunts. Paonessa steadfastly refuses to en- ter into discussion of politics par- | to the possibility of his becoming a candidate for the office he filled for two successive terms and for which he was defeated by the present mayor in a third attempt. Demo- cratic leaders have indicated their assurance that he will be their tempts to ‘line up” another for the nomination. Persistent rumorings jessa would return | candidate for office, together with { the absence of a definite denial by | the former executive make his de- cislon to engage In business in New Britain at this.time appear as some { thing mere than a coincidence, po {titical wiseacres declare. Paonessa was connected with the | city government for 16 years, serv- {ing in the common council for 12 years and as mayor for the last four. He defeated George A. Quigley in 1922 and Judge Benjamin W. Alling in 1924. Last year he was bested at | the polls by Gardner C. Weld, after a campaign in which declarations ainst coal dealers and the fifth | ward republican delegation in the {common council had cut deeply into { his vote drawing strength. Quigley insists that his campaign against an expenditure for sewerage work at this time is not in the na- ture of an opening gun in a drive to return him to the head of the city government. After a lengthy term of common council service, Quigley was elected mayor in a con- test with Joseph M. Halloran, in 1914. He defeated Ernest W. Pelton in 1916 and Dr. John E. 1918. In 1920, after a bitter primary tight with Orson F. Curtis he failed to recive the nomination and Curtis became mayor, defeating Mr. Hal- that Paon- to again be a loran. In 1922 Qulgley bested Cur- | tis in a primary and was then de- feated by Paonesza. PLANS T0 RETURN HERE‘?
