The Summary A summary of the negotiations sent to all countries on the league of nations preparatory disarma- ment commission by Lord Cushen- dun, acting foreign secretary on Oc- tober 9, says: “While the Japanese government expreases their concurrence in the purport of these proposals (the naval compromise), the govern- ments of the United Sates and Italy, for reasons which are clearly and cogently explained in their notes have not seen their way to ac- cept them. These communications are receiving the attentive consider- ation of his majesty's government and a reply will be made to them in due course.” Reluctant Reocognition ‘The documents also reveal that the British government gave reluct- ant recognition to the French posi- tion with regard to army reserves as the price of obtaining a naval agreement. Lord Cushendun in discusing & conversation between Aristide Briand, French foreign minister, and Sir Austen Chamberlain, British foreign secretary, at Geneva in march, 1928, which led to the naval compromise wrote: Exclude Reserves “In the matter of land disarma- ment the question of the limitation of military trained reserves had proved a stumbling block.

The action was a reafirmation of action taken by the 1925 convention. The text of the resolution of 1925 which was reaffirmed on its intro- duction by Bishop John Ward of Erle, Pa., follows: “Resolved: That facing the danger of the spirit of lawlessness in Amer- ican life, we welcome the renewed efforts of the government of the United States to enforce strictly and impartially the prohibition laws, and the anti-narcotic laws, which are so widely and cynically disre- garded; we call upon the people of our church to set a good example of that obedience to law without which no democracy can endure.” A resolution seeking to put the Episcopal church officially on rec- ord in favor of the separation of church and state was tabled by the house of bishops. The resolution, introduced by Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, of Ten- nessec, was criticized by Bishop Reese of southern Ohio on behalf of the committee on social service. Bishop Reese said he knew of no movement “looking to interference by the church in political or parti- san matters.” The bishops approved a resolu- tion urging on all institutions of learning the “importance of emphas sis on the peaceful means open to the settlement of international dis- putes.” This proposal was a substitute for a resolution presented by the Right Rev. Edward L. Parsons, bishop of California, asking that the church look with disfavor on compulsory military training in schools, which was given a favorable committee report. Bishops Frank W. Sterrett, coad- jutor of Bethlehem, Pa., and Reese spoke in favor of the original reso- lution which was opposed by Bish- ops Harry 8. Longley, coadjutor of Towa, author of the substitute, and James Wise of Kansas. NAY SOON RAIE GLK GALLEYS Italians Pumping Water Out of Lake Nemi SUNK ABOUT YEAR 41 A. D. Famous Ships On Which Emperor Caligula Held Wild Orgios Valued As Most Priccless Antiques In World Today. Rome, Oct. 23 (UP) — Italian scholars and students of antiquity are watching with greatest interest the efforts to raise the famous “Gala” galleys of the emperor Cali- gula from the bottom of Lake Nem, where they have lain since the be- sinning of the Christian era. [ Orgies pectacular The galleys, on which were reput- ed to have been held spectacular feats and orgies, long have been sought as one of the greatest arch- aeological treasures of modern times. Attempts to recover them have been made periodically since the middle of the 15th century. Through an elaborate modern en- gineering scheme, however, the pros- pect now appears destined to suc- ceed. The engineers began pumping out Lake Nemi Saturday after cere- monies attended by Premier Musso- lint and other dignitaries and the work is expected to end in about four months. Lake Nemi, noted for its pictur- esque beauty, nestles in an extinct orater in the Alban hills, near a suburb of Rome. It was a favorite spot for many of the revels that marked ancient Rome's declining days. Cruel Emperor ‘The emperor Caligula, or Calus Caesar, who ruled from 12 to 41 A. D., and wes regarded as one of the most extravagant, cruel and profii- sate emperors of his time, con- structed a flcet of lavishly decorated salleys which he devoted to his numerous feasts and ceremonies. Gathering his favorite generals and consuls, Caligula would repair to the beautiful Alban hills and, or- dering his slaves to bring wine and captured women, would spend week after week in revelry. Several his- torians have recorded that at the heilght of the gayety the emperor and his companions often would or- der the women to be thrown over- board and others brought to them. Caligul cruelty and thirst for blood is attributed by historians to insanity, It is pointed out that he once bestowed priesthood and a con- sularship on his horse, Incitatus, and he was quoted as saying he wished the whole Roman people had only one head, so he might cut it off at a single stroke. ve Taxes It was by means of the oppressive taxes he levied on his subjects that he was able to spend enormous sum for the contruction of his floating palaces. Two of them are known to be at the bottom of Lake Neml They are inlald with fine marbles and mosaics and decorated with priceless bronze. Engineers are pumping the water from the lake through a tunnel lead- ing from the saucer-like body to a iplain below. It will require until February, they estimate, to bring the water to a level that will en- able them to raise the galleys. lour huge electrically-driven pumps are reducing the lake by 120,000 cubic meters each day.

Louis Only Engagement of Nominee Is Luncheon With President Coolidge —Candidate and Party In High Spirits After Trip. Washington, Oct. 23 (P — Back from New York, where in Governor Bmith’'s home city he received one of the biggest ovations of his cam- paign, Herbert Hoover today began working on another address which he will deliver to the nation, prob- ably at St. Louis on his way to Palo Alto, California, to vote. One engagement broke into the quietness of his labors — luncheon with President Coolidge. Otherwise with the same care with which he usually works, he busied himself putting into shape his next thrust at the opposition and one of his last bids to his fellow countrymen for & republican victory in November., In High Spirits ‘The Hoover party, from the nom- inee down, returned here from New York in high spirits. There, in Madison 8quare Garden, the nominee and the speakers who preceded him were receivd with roars of applause, the climax coming when Mr. Hoover took his place on the stand. ‘The clamorous cheering was beyond control for many minutes, and the audience frequently broke into his prepared address to shout their ap- proval. Mr. Hoover's New York address stressed democratic proposais on farm rellef, prohibition, and electric power, and he asserted the demo- crats had adopted a program that would destroy political equality and increase rather than decrease abuse and corruption. The subject of his western speech has not been an- nounced. Closes Doors Upon his arrival back home today, Mr. Hoover closed his office doors to visitors, and in characteristic manner, proceeded with the business at hand in a way that has marked his method of running his campaign for the presidency. The only visitor of the morning was Secretary Kellogg who chatted with him briefly. The secretary de- clined to discuss his conversation with Hoover, saying that he simply had made a friendly call. MORE VOTING MACHINES FAYORED BY BENJAMIN First Sclectman Agrees With Mayor That Equipment At Hand is Inadequate First Sclectman Darius Benjamin shares the belief expressed by Mayor Paonessa that the voting machine equipment now in the city's posses- sion is not adequate for the presi- dential election on November 6, and he is planning to confer with the mayor to determine what steps may be taken to get more machines here. Under state statutes, each elector is allowed one minute to register his preference. If ecach voter avails himself of the maximum time in the voting booth it will be impossible to take the ballot of the voters of New Britain on election day. The fact that all cities and towns will vote on the same day next month, makes it fmpossible to rent machines, as was done in the city election, and if more equipment {s to be brought here, it must be purchased.

San Francisco, Oct. 23 (UP)— George Oampbell Carson, wno tramped over western deserts 1 search of gold which always elud- ed him, has come into & wealth be- yond the wildest dreams of his pros- pecting days. Carson was not a success in his wanderings with pick and burro, but his knowledge of metallurgy, pesult- ing in an invention of the sidesfeed- ing reverberatory furnace now used universally in copper smelting, has brought him into a fortune estimat- ed at $30,000,000, The U. 8. supreme court’s refusal to grant a petition of the Anaconda Copper company to review lower court judgments against the firm in favor of Carson was the former “desert rat’s” final victory in litiga- tion which has extended through a series of court tests since 1917, Carson had charged that the Ana- conda company infringed upon his patents. As a result of the supreme court decision, accrued royalties must be paid the inventor. The prospector who tramped hills and deserts of Colorado, Nevada and California looking for a pay-streak sufficient to buy a sack of flour has become a national figure in his ‘ngm against the powerful smelting company. When the case we: thrown out by a Seattle, Wash., court, Carson pleaded with S8an Francisco million- aires. Rudolph Spreckels and Rob- ert Hayes Smith, to help finance a further fight. They agreed and the court fight continued. The U. 8. district court decided for the Copper company. This was reversed by the U. 8, circuit cou.e of appeals which ordered the com- pany to refrain from further use of the furnace and to account for profits since the invention had been operated. The company sought to have the lower court judgments reviewed. The fight ended with victory for the former prospector when the U. S. supreme court denied the petition. Carson is now living in San Iran- cisco. He Is 61 years old and physi- cally active, ‘When he receives the $30,000.000 Carson expects to build a laboratory and continue his experiments. C. R.

C. Hodgson of Berlin following an automobile crash on the North Colony road in Mériden ‘near the Berlin town line shortly after 7 o'clock this morning. TNe accident occurred when Pat- rick B. Neary, 33, of 1570 Quinni- plac street, New Haven, while driv- ing north, attempted to pass the bus operated by Flenke and crashed in- to a car coming in the opposite di- rection driven by Abe Cooper of 40 Greenficld street, Hartford. Both cars were completely wrecked by the force of the collision, The bus escaped without damage. A car operated by Williard A. Nash of Willimansett, Mass., which was following the Hartford car piled into the two badly damaged machines an instant after the first crash. The Meriden police investi- gated the accident and placed Nedry under arrest on & charge of reckless driving. Cooper had Albert Huband of 250 Homestead avenue, Hartford, and Sam Greenberg of 105 Clark strect, Hartford, in his car at the time of the crash. All three Hartford men were badly cut by flying glass and bruised as a result of the impact of the two cars. Flenke immediately stopped his bus and bundled the three injured men into his vehicle, rushing them to the office of Dr. Hodgson who treated their cuts and allowed them to go. Flenke, in explaining the accl- dent, stated that he was proceeding along the road at a moderate rate of speed when he noticed the Hart- ford car approaching in the opposite direction. Buddenly he noticed the car turning over to the side of the road and glancing into his mirror discovered an auto behind him at- tempting to pass him. He started to bring the bus over to the side of the road but Neary's car was unable to pass him and crashed into Coop- er's auto.

Police Lie in Wait Acting on information received about two weeks ago that a New Britaln man was making early morning deliveries of liquor in the Barnes Tract, Sergeant Henry Jeg- linski and Officer Willlam Thomp- son this morning parked themselves in the police car on North Pond street shortly after 7 o’clock. About 15 minutes later, a coupe, bearing the registration numbers furnished them by an informant drove past and suspecting that the two men were officers, the driver immediate- ly stepped on the gas. The policemen gave chase hurt- ling around corners at a reckless rate of speed and were taken over North Pond, Alder, Crescent Drive, and Beech streets, back over North Pond and over Curtis street to Bur- lington avenue where the bullet from Thompson's gun pierced the right rear mudguard of the machine and caused the driver to stop. Prior to that Thompson had fired three shots in the air and a fourth shot which happened to cut short the life of a careless chicken which happened to be in the highway. Alcohol in Car A search of Grabowski's car re- vealed four one gallon cans of al- cohol and five empty cans, which indicated that he had already made one or more deliveries. Upon rival at headquarters, Grabowski got in touch with Judge Willlam F. Mangan of New Britain, who, when the case was brought before Judge Joseph M. Donovan in the city court, entered a plea of gullty to -harges of keeping llquor with in- tent to sell and transportation. A fine of $100 was imposed on the first count and $150 on the latter.

DEMOCRATS EXPECT SMIT T0 STOP IN NEW BRITAIN THURSDAY NIGHT ELOPERS DISCOVER LOVE'S ROAD ROUGH Prepare fo Mamy Bat Find Obstacles in the Way WEDDING DAY POSTPONED Approval of New Hampshire Bishop Must Be Obtained Before Man- chester Man Can Take 15-Year- Old Girl For Bride. 8miling and happy, Walter Tkacs, aged 22, of Manchester, N. H. and Helen M. 8kowron, 15-year-old girl with whom he came to New Brit- ain last Wednesday and took up resi- dence in a rooming house as hus- band and wife, left this forenoon for the residence of a local priest to be married, but their plans went amiss when the question of jurisdiction arose. If the bishop of the Catholic church in the New Hampshire diocese can be reached and his con- sent obtained, the marriage will be performed here this afternoon, otherwise some other plans will be made, Girls Parents Arrive Last night, the girl's mother and Tkacz's father arrived in this city, accompanied by others concerned in the affairs of the couple, and Pro- bation Officer E. C. Connolly, Juvenile Probation Officer Ruth Bristoll, Judge B. F. Gaffney and other officlals busied themselves with the detalls of the contemplated marriage. Tkacz's father wanted the couple 1o return to Manchester and be mar- ried, but the local officials suspected that he was opposed to the match and might take steps to prevent it once he reached home. A civil ceremony, to be followed by a church wedding in their home town was favored by the local officlals, but did not meet with the approval of others concerned and all the complications had the effect of halt- ing the affair, LEPPELIN READY FOR WESTERN CRUISE Take-Off Subject to Ecken- er Who Returns Today From Chicago Lakehurst, N. J., Oct. 23 (#—Re- pairs to the transatlantic air liner Graf Zeppelin were completed toe day and the ship was ready for tlight. The command for the take- off of the great cruiser on its pro- posed light to the middle west awaited the return of Dr. Hugo Fckener, skipper, from Chicago. He is due here tonight. Lieut. Commander Hugh V. Wi- ley, temporary skipper of the navy's dirigible Los Angeles, announced that the American alr ship would leave the hangar with the Graf Zeppelin. He said, however, that his tlight would be for training pur- poses, and that the Los Angeles would not accompany the Graf Zeppelin to the west. Commander Z. H. Wicks, rigging officer, was in charge of the re- pairs to the Graf Zeppelin's port stabilizer, and inflation and fueling of the ship. The under covering was ripped from the stablilizer in storms at sea. Fearing that the pumping of hy- drogen through the regular supply lines of the air station would result in the contamination of the navy's supply of helium, & novel method was used to Inflate the Graf Zeppe- lin. Hydrogen is highly inflam- mable, and the helium used in the Los Angeles is not. The hydrogen was first pumped into huge free balloons. The bags were then brought into the hangar, and the hydrogen forced in the Graf Zeppelin's cells through manifolds. The German ship was loaded with 13.000 gallons of gasoline, and about 200,000 cubic feet of gaseous | fuel similar to the blue gas used on the transatlantic flight. Scott Field, Il Oct. 23 UP—Of- ficials at Scott Field proceeded to- day with preparations to receive the Graf Zeppelin either tomorrow night or Thursday. Despite the con- flicting reports as to the itinerary of the German ship, the hangar here, which s large enough to | house the Graf Zeppelin, was being made ready for the use of Dr. Hugo Eckener, if he desires to keep the ship here over night. The RS-1, largest semi-rigid di- rigible ship in the world, which was damaged in a flight from San An- tonio, Texas, last week, has been undergoing repairs to its nose. Cap- tain Willlam Kepner, commander of the ship said it would be ready to fly tonight and will be available as an escort to the Graf Zeppelin.
