Representatives of Fifty Nations Hear Plea of France’s Statesman for an International Disar- mament Conference. Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 10 P— Aristide Briand, foreign minister of France, today told the assembly of the league of nations that there were no secret clauses in the Franco- British naval accord. He said it had been arranged for the sole purpose ot facilitating reduction of arma- ments. Speaks From Rostrum M. Briand spoke from the rostrum of the assembly. Delegates of 50 natlons formed his audience and they applauded as he emphasized the peaceful purpose of the under- standing. M. Briand used ridicule in driving home his denial of whispers heard recently in many European quarters that the accord contained more pro- visions than appeared on the sur- face or had been made public. The address followed a plea for an international disarmament con- ference before next year's assembly which was given by E. Blythe, vice president of the executive council and minister of finance, posts and | telegraph of the Irish Free state. He recommended that a time limit Le put on the work of the prepara- tory disarmament commission. War a Crime Mr. Blythe said that the Kellogg pact had made war a crime and an outrage. He hailed the initiative taken by the United States in this and said that his own government was in the closest sympathy with the entire movement. He told the delegates also that Ireland was as strong for arbitration and conciliation as was Canada and he praised the address in which Wil- liam Lyon MacKenzie King, prime minister of the Dominion, had told the assembly about the lengthy un- guarded frontier between Canada and the United States and the under- standing that all disputes of a legal nature would be referred to arbi- tration while conciliation would be the method for settling any 'other questions, M. Briand's address, coming in the wake of this plea for action, was of the outspoken variety which has characterized this session of the as- sembly and has startled statesmen and diplomats of the old school. He made a special point respecting gov- ernments which advocate disarma- ment and yet increase their own forces. Without mentioning Russia by name he said there was one country in Europe which was constantly augmenting its army, vet had pro- vosed the total destruction of all (Continued on Page 12) WORGESTER YOUTHS FACE MURDER TRIAL Are Charged With the Murder of Conn, State Policeman Willimantic, Sept. 10 (UP)—Two Worcester, Mass., youths go on trial before Judge Edward M. Yoemans in criminal superior court here to- morrow for the shooting of a state policeman. The defendants, Roland Lalone, 21, and Albert J. Raymond, 20, will be charged with the first degree murder of Policeman Irving H. Nel- son of New Haven at Pomfret April 6. The state that Lalone will endeavor to prove and Raymond were members of the so-called Spring- fleld, Mass, “Ice-Box Gang” a group of thieves whose practice was to rob stores after locking the pro- prietors in their ice boxes. Nelson had been stationed north of Pomfret to watch for a touring car believed carrying members of the gang who had shot their way out of Springfleld and fled south- eastward. Just at dusk he saw what he be- lleved was the car. The driver re- fused to halt and Nelson followed on his motorcycle. He overtook the speeding machine at Pomfret Cen- ter. As he drew alongside at 60- miles an hour, a half-dozen villagers sitting on the steps of a gencral store, saw a revolver protrude from the tonneau of the automobile and fire three shots. Nelson dropped dead a moment after bringing his motorcycle to a stop. Lalone and Raymond were cap- tured at Worcester 7after a long ®earch. | finished was a 76 scored by R.

(Jimmy) Johnston, veteran Minneapolis star, jumped into the lead for the first 18 holes of the national amateur golf champlonship qualifying test today. This gave Johnston, tempor- arily at least, a three stroke margin over his nearest rival, Don Moe of Portland, Oregon, who had 74, and a six stroke edge over the champion, Bobby Jones. Atlantan Gets Into Great Difficulties on Opening Round Tuming in a Score Five Over Par - for Nine Holes, Bracburn Country Club, Newton, Mass,, Sept. 10 (P—Rallying on the final nine holes after a ragged start in defense of his national amateur golf title, Bobby Jones completed the first 18 holes of the qualifying round in 77, five over par. He took 40 on the first nine but equalled par 37 coming in.

Early scores were high, suggesting that 80's or even a stroke or two higher today would not necessarily bar entrance to the select 32 class to start match play Wednesday. The battle of Bracburn, with the | national amateur geolf championship at stake, began this morning over the picturesque and wooded slopes of this rugged course. The field of 144, seeking the crown worn by Bobby Jones, got away on the first 18 holes of the two-day 36-hole | qualifying test shortly after 9 o'clock. Robert Gorton of the Home club, holder of the course rec- ord and Al Brodbeck of New York, | being the first to tee off. A | Attracts Crowd Yrancis Ouimet, Boston favorite, attracted a good sized gallery as he started at 9:30 with Harold Weber of Toledo but most of the early risers waited to go out with the | champion, Jones, and David Ogilvie, | Jr., Cleveland youth, at 9:45. Bobby was off to a poor start, his drive from the first tee being on a mound and he found a brook from there. His approach was timid and he had to be satistied with a six on the par four first. Ogilvie played a steady four. Good Recovery The champion's tee shot on the second was over another mound and in a clump of trees. He made a good recovery but carried over the green. The champion got down to par | figures with a four on the 375 yard | third hole. Ouimet got away impressively, matching par on the first three holes with 4-4-4, as he stuck to the straight and narrow path. Harry Pitt of Washington, D. C., was even with par for the ,rse six holes and set the pace for the carly part of the field. 46 Strokes Al Brodbeck, former New York state champion, virtually eliminated himself from the tournament by re- quiring 46 strokes, 11 over par, for his first nine. His wildness, especial- ly off the tee, got him into a suc- cession of difficulties while his part- ner, Groton, steadied to card 37, de- spite a bad seven at the par fifth. This 577 yard fifth hole, longest on the course, with a gulley to carry from the tec and a bottle neck approach to the green, flanked by traps and trees, furnished an early Waterloo. Par five for this layout was equalled by only three of the first ten golfers to try it, the (Continued on Page 15) REPRIMANDS POLICE Chief Hart Again Notifies Patroimen That Court Sessions Begin at 8:30 ¢'Clock in the Morning.

The funeral was held from his late home at 9:30 this morning and at 10 o'clock at St. Mary’s church. As the hcarse approached the church, members of the fire depart- ment, 45 in number, who acted as honorary escort, formed a double file on the church steps. The body was preceded by Mayor Angelo Paonessa, Chief of the Fire Depart- ment William J. Noble and the members of the fire board, James J. Butler, chairman, Harry Beckwith, James H. Passcrini and Charles Dehm, who acted as honorary pall bearers. As the body was borne into the church, Mrs. M. T. Crean, Mrs. John Connolly, James V.

Mrs. Coolidge was said to have remarked that she did not want to appear as if she| were leaving unduly early the place | which had restored her health from the iliness in the grip of which she was when she arrived here. To Return Soon Arrangements were completed, however, for the chief executive to be back in the capital by the mid- dle of the weeik. The Superior and neighborhood population was invit- ed to gather this afternoon on the broad opening in front of the sum- mer executive offices for a simple ceremony which President Coolidge had requested should be organized to give him the opportunity to say a few words of good-bye. The character of this afternoon’s ceremony was kept purposcly infor- mal at President Coolidge's request. The people were asked to gather merely to hear Mayor Baxter of Su- perior say a few words of apprecia- tion for the chief executive's stay here, Mr. Coolidge asked that the occas- fon be not made too formal by radio arrangements, loud speakers or even presiding officers. He desired in- stead, he said, to partake of the same air of spontaneity which char- acterized all his plcasures this sum- mer. Business concerns in Superior; however, had alrcady yesterday sig- nified their intention of allowing their employes to leave their jobs early so that this afternoon’s fare- well ceremony, despite efforts to keep it on an informal plane, might be one of the largest functions so far held in the city. “ishing On Tap A fast fishing excursion had been | organized by President Coolidge early today despite the nearness of his departure.

New York, Sept. 10 (P—Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg landed at 7:50 a. . this morning from the United States liner Leviathan on his return from Paris where he signed for the United States. Rush to Station Secretary Kellogg accompanied by Mrs. Kellogg and three members of his party was taken from the liner at quarantine by the coast guard bay to the battery. 'They entered an automobile there and with a po- lice motorcycle escort were rushed to the Pennsylvania station. The secretary read a prepared statement to the reporters who met him on the liner. It follews: “I do not think the treaty for the renunciation of war should be made a party issue, either in the cam- paign or in the senate and I cannot conceive that it will be. It is an in- ternational matter of world-wide importance. The promotion world peace is an ideal common to all clvilizations. It is not prerogative of any one country or any one group within a country. The treaty was signed by 15 nations and 30 more have already signified | their intention to adhere to it. There | is every indication that it will be ac- | cepted by every nation in the world.” The secretary was interviewed by | newspaper men on the aft deck of | the cutter as it speeded up the bay. | In response to a question as to Her- | bert Hoover's attitude on the treaty he said: “I am quite sure Mr. Hoover does not wish to make the treaty a party issue.” Mr. Kellogg brought the original treaty with him. He said he thought the pact had made an excellent im- pression everywhere. He was asked whether the report- ed secret naval treaty between Eng-i land and France “is consistent with the anti-war treaty which you sign- ed.” Mr, Kellogg seemed annoyed | at the question, but answered: “Yes. 1 don’t think it has any- | thing to do with the pact whatso- ever. I don’t understand that there is any naval treaty. Both countries said there is no treaty.” Asked why he did not visit Eng- land but did visit Ireland, he said: “I went to Dublin to return the visit of President Cosgrave on the invitation of his government. I could not go to England too as I had only five days and it takes one day to get there. I think that's a complete | Asked whether he thought any nations would try “going further” with the treaty, he inquired: “Do can any sanctions?” was the answer. “No. I think if you read my notes you will see that this is as far as the United States will go.” Unoccupied Airplane Crashes Into Fence Hartford, Sept. 10 (UP)—An un- occupied airplane escaped from its pilot, roared down Brainard fleld and crashed into a fence just-as it was about to leave the ground.

Holmes Says Depart- ment Is at Loss to Find Proper Accommodations for AlL 80 crowded are the public schools that when questioned today as to the approximate number of pupils reg- istered or the regulhtions under which they are to be handled, Supt. Stanley H. Holmes frankly admitted that the department was at a loss to determine just how it would meet the situation. Public schools opened for the fall term this morning and after the names of pupils were recorded and an effort was made to place as many children as possible in the schools the pupils were dismissed and today it is uncertain whether many of the puplls who were sent to certain school buildings will be kept there. There are hundreds being trans- ferred. Attempts to get an estimate of en- rollment did not meet with success, Mr. Holmes being of the opinion that the children will not be settled un- til Wednesday. With the opening of the public schools and the opening also of St. Matthew’s parochial school all the schools in the city are now in ses- sion for the year. The three other parochial schools, 8t.

Portland, Me, Sept. 10 (UP)— Maine voters lined up today for the first official count of republican and democratic noses Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith became party standard bearers. Although going to the polls pri- marily to chose a governor, sena- tor, congressmen and other state officials, Maine w expected to show, by the size of its republican | majority, which way the political | wind will blow in November, “As Maine goes, 50 goes the na- tion,” is the adage which has long been attached to state elections such as that being held today. Maine is the only state that clings to its early September election, or- iginally intended to keep state and national politics separate, and the outcome invariably is interpreted | as an indication of the national poli- tical trénd. Orators Plead Campaign orators in both parties have pleaded with voters this year to “point the way” for the nationm, and some candidates have stressed national issues in their platforms. Neither party leaders nor candi- dates would venture public numer; cal prediction of the outcome. All agreed, however, that the vote would be unusually large. “I have never seen the state so interested in an election,” said U. 8. Senator Frederick Hale, republi- | can, who is running for reelection against Herbert Holmes, democrat. Danield F. Field, chairpan of the | Republican State Committee, raid his party would carry 15 of the estate’s 16 counties, but refused to guess the total vote. No Possible Estimate “The issues have caysed such a crossing of party lines that no esti- mate of the outcome is possible, said E. C. Moran, chairman of the Democratic State Committee. Pri- vately, most republicans predict a very comfortable majority. Demo- crats say it will be no larger than 25,000, although the normal repub- lican margin is about 36,000. The present republican governor, Ralph O. Brewster, received a m ority of more than 36,000 in 19 when he was opposed by William R.
