Washington, Aug. 14 (P—Limita- tion of armament was the subject of a White House breakfast con- ference today attended by President Hoover, Secretary Stimson, Secre- tary Adams, Under-Secretary Cot- ton of the state department and the executive committee of the general board of the navy. The White House declined to re- veal the details of the discussion, beyond saying that it had to do with the proposed “yardstick” method of effecting reductions in naval arm- aments. It was added, however, that hLoth Secreary Stimson and Secretary Adams had been out of the city for the past week or so and that he conference had to do with dzvlop- ments occurring within that wime. After the White House gathering, Stimson said the naval negotiations | had reached the point where it was desirable to have a conference be- | tween the naval experts: and the civilian members of the government who are dealing with the subject. The civilian officials are keeping in close touch with the naval ad- visors, the secretary said, and were desirous of their cordial and friend- ly cooperation in the naval problem. The conference, he continued, wa: to make sure that no differences in ‘heir points of view might becom: vital, adding he knew of none at this | time, In reply to questions regarding the part which the raval experts wili play in the limitation discussions Stimson said they would be given tull consideration. Stimson said the conference was informal and was not called to dis- cuss any crisis arising in the naval limitations question but that the correspondence on the negotiations Dbetween Ambassador Dawes and Prime Minister Macdonald of Eng- land was considered. ‘PLANE FORCED DOWN; GO-PILOT MISSING Cleveland Air Liner Sinks in Lake Erie Today Cleveland, Aug. 14 (P—A Cleve- land-Detroit amphiblan passenger plane sank in Lake Erie, after be- ing forced down in a dense fog late vesterday and the co-pilot was miss- ing today, the Thompson Aeronau- tical corporation reported.

A new bombing plane in which the officers had started an inspec- tion trip crashed from 900 feet, and all eight occupants of the plane met death. An investigation was ordered immediately but with no survivors, the cause of the disaster is likely to remain a mystery. The bomber went out of control at- tempting to bank less than a mile from the takeoff. ° The dead include Major General Tsunes Aburo, chief of operations staff, a colopel and two majors of the general staff, three junior offi- cers and one non-commissioned «f- ficer. Another plane which started si- multaneously carrying General Su- zuki, chief of the general staff. and other high officers, continued its flight to Hamamatsu safely, the oc- | cupants not knowing the fate which had overtaken their fellow officers.

Milford, Aug. 14 (A—The investi- gation of the brutal slaying of three-year-old Albert Mikenas of An- sonia centered today on a search for a “garilla like” man, who a woman told police, attempted an assault on a girl here a week ago. This man, known to investigators as “Pete,” an itinerant bus boy who but lately quit a job in a West Ha- ven resort restaurant, is suspected in the slaying not only because of his attempted assault on the girl, but also because the autopsy performed by medical examiner and Yale med- ical school scientists on young Al- bert’s body had revealed his neck was crushed by a powerful hand that had choked him to death. Frightened Into Flight The investigators said “Pete” has been seen aince the Mikenas boy dis- appeared during a beach visit with his mother here July 29, but not since the attempted attack of the girl. This attempt was described by Mrs. Bessle Gergaln, Myrtle Beach resident, who said the “gorilla like” man had jumped from behind bushes upon the girl. but was frightened away when she screamed. This oc- curred at night and in darkness. Deputy Coroner James J. Corri- gan, heading one side of the tri- angular investigation of the slaying, declared today that the axe and club found yesterday in a space some 100 hundred feet from the spot where the mutilated body of the Mikenas child was discovered last Sunday, were “unimportant” and have no connection with the case. Both he and Sergeant Henry J. Gallbronner, chief investigator for the Milford police, agree that Boy Scouts camp- |ed in the shack and on leaving for- got the axe and club. The *“blood- stains” on the axe have been discov- ered to be rust marks. Lieut. Albright Arrives Lieut. Henry Albright, considered by superior officers of the state po- lice one of the keenest members of the department and who is station- ed at the Westport barracks, arrived here this morning to investigate the facts surrounding the mysterious (Continued on Page T%0) Girl Bandit Escapes From Sherborn, Mass. | 14 (A—Mrs. bandit year Aug.

The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 14. —(P—Having practically Christmas as the limit for evacuation of the Rhineland, the reparations delegates this morning set Saturday as the date when the chief problems before them must be settled. The financial committee which met at 10 o'clock this morning heard the last speeches on the question of delieveries in kind and then on a mo- tion by Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, decided to suspend its work until Saturday to give opportunity for continuation of informal conversations among the delegates. Snowden Hopeful The chancellor, whose demands for modification of the Young plan have represented the chief nut to be cracked, expressed hope that these conversations will bear fruit and the remainder of the delegates echoed his sentiments. Louis Lucheur, French delegate and the principal speaker this morn ing, agreed with W. Graham, pres dent of the British board of trade, that payment of reparations by deliveries in kind is unfortunate, but declared they were inevitable. The peacemakers, he said, had a choice between two evils when they decided on this form of payment and they chose the lesser. “France has no interest in receiving imports under these conditions,” he said. “and the French delegation is in agreement with the British that an effort must be made to find some way to elimin- ate them.” Denounces Reexportation M. Loucher joined other speakers | in denouncing the reexportation of goods dellvered on the reparations account. He thought, however, that the effect of deliveries in kind on the economic situation in Great Britain was less than believed by the Brit delegaton. He gave figures to show that British unemployment, in terms of French francs, represented an an- nual sum of 15.000.000.000 francs, while the total delieveries in kind were only 3.000,000,000 francs. The French delegate held the world economic situation had been an increase in exports from the proportion of trade she had before the war, It was due to world condi- tions. South American imports from Europe, he pointed out. creased to about one-third, all of which had gone to swell the exports of the United States. Pralses American Economics “The Americans are younger and more ardent people than we, and un- derstand, perhaps better than we, that as population increases produc- tion must increase and that there must be a continuous race between production and consumption,” he said, “salaries are high in the United States, stimulating spending, perhaps bringing a higher cost of living, but (Continued on Page Two) WIFE BEATEN BY HUSBAND REMOYED T0 HOSPITAL Policeman Finds No Food for Three Children in Home on Hayes Street Because his wife hospital this morning with convui- sions, the case of Louis Zdanuk, 40, 345 Hayes street, charged with breach of the peace and assauit. was continued until one week from fixed | nited States and that if | Great Britain enjoyed no more the | had de- | s taken to tha | Average Daily Circulation For Week Endmg 15 092 Aug. 10th . i 1,000,000 United Growers America, fruit and vegetable co-o; PRICE THREE CENTS "m (GRAF WILL LEAVE ON TOKYO FLIGHT EARLY TOMORROW | Sailing Corresponds to 11 p. m., New Britain Time, Tonight— Route Undecided ECKENER HAS TROUBLES Weather Reports Indicate Storm | Arcas Moving Eastward, Appar- | Available For Trip—Early Morn- | ing Star Agreed Upon Because of | Low Wind Hazard at Dawn. of of p.

Y., death at 8;15 this morning when he was forced to land his plane in an orchard a mile from Susequehanna near here. Having become lost in the heavy fog and fearing that he would run out of gasoline, Webster threw out two flares in an attempt to find a landing field, but the flares died out before he could locate a place. Shortly afterwards he was attracted by a series of lights about the dam of the Northern Pennsylvania Power Company and, mistaking this for a possible place to land, prepared to narrowly escaped | ring the plane down, but on fina- ing out that it was not, he nosed his plane into a nearby orchard. The plane struck twa trees before it finally came to rest and one of the | wings of the plane was broken. Pilot Webster escaped with minor cuts about the head.
