Ad- dressing the full bench of the supreme court in opposition to a motion for delay in action on.proceedings seeking Mr, Pe letier's removal, the attorney general said: “In contempt of this honorable court, in a public address night before last, the district_attorney stated: ‘Go up some| and watch the judges of the supreme court file down to the Union club.

Mr. Pelletier made no effort to reply to Mr. Allen's accusation, saving: “May it please the court—I do not sup- | pose that we are going to enter into dis- cussion here of other matters. I am ask- ing the court what it seems to me is a | fair thing to ask.” Chief Justice Rugg announced the court’s denial of the motion to delay ac- tion of the removal proceedings against Mr. Pelletier, declaring the ruling was without prejudice to the right of the dis- trict attorney to renew it after plead had been completed. ings CONFESSED THE MURDER OF HIS STEPMOTHER | Saginaw, namplain, murder of “hampla Sherift Humper nounced. hamnlain w ing he shot and killed his father and| stepmother Monday afternoon and set | fire to the house that night io cover up the crime.

Washington, Nov. 17-~(By the A. P.)— Who formulated and execuated the €all for the armament conference? Who evolved the American proposals for nav- al limitation? The country has been asking thess questions for the last week and has been hearing a variety of answers. The best “inside story” in Washington today has all the earmarks of being the correct an- swer. President Harding, on one of his week- end cruises down the Potomac early this autumn, so the story runs, locked himself in his state room one evening and left word that he did not wish to be disturbed because he was writing. A little later, the president called to his room, one by one, some of the close friends in public life who were his guests and laid befors them some sheets of paper on which he had written with lcad ‘pencfl, and with frequent corrections and interlineations, something which they all read with amazement and greatest interest. It was the Invitati'n to the nations to the arms conference, After some conference among the par- ty, it was decided to forward the text to Secretary Hughes, and the yacht May- flower, laid up for the night in the still waters of a secluded cove in the reaches of the river, buzzed off from her wire- less that night t) the state department, the words which later were to ring around the world. Of course, the preliminary feeler was transmitted to the mations concerned, but it is said that the text of the final and formal invitation as it later went cut was substantially the same as President: Harding had conceived it that night while resting on the yacht May- ow The evolution of the concrete American proposals for naval limitation—Secretary Hugres' bomb shell—also heard around the world at the first session, is still an- other story. Some admirers have ascribed them to Secretary Hughes alone, while some other, persons have declared they were the comt posite effort of the four American dele- gates of whom Mr. Hughes is one. Ev- erybody seems agreed that they were not drafted by naval officials, anl almost everybody had left out President Hard- ing, until today's “inside story” began to circulate. The great secret, to which Arthur Balfour referred so artisticall dress of Tucsday, must indeed hev_been well kept, because, between seven and ten men knew it. That number includes the four American delegates asd President Harding. The others worked on various phases of the proposal. It s known of course that it was based on memoranda called from the navy department, and it was carried into execution by the Amer- n Big Four which Secrefary Hughe heads, but the “big idea” on which the diplomatic I in his ad- pian is built, the “inside story” says came from President Harding. BOMB ON STEPS OF STATE ARMORY, LAWRENCE, MASS. Lawrence, Mass., Nov. 17.—A small bomb, the lighted fuse of which had been extinguished by the rain, was found to- night on the steps of the state armory, where a large conclave of Masons were celebrating commencement of work on & new temple.

Discovery of the bomb was made shortly after 10 o'clock by one of the Masons who was leaving the armory. The bomb will be delivered tomorrow to State Chemist Wedger, fc= further an- alysis of iis contents. No clue as to its origin ha dbeen obtained late tonight. BOYCOTT OF PRINCE OF WALES IN BOMBAY FAILED London, Nov. 17.—The Bombay corre- ! spondent of the London Times says the non-co-operationists have mace the most efforts to render the boycott of the Prince of Wales' visit effective. but the only re- sult was a noverwhelming and tumuitu- ous reception, passing all possible ex- pectations.
