Passengers on the ill-fated |island craft said while the Marta | Luisa was floundering under the | force of a big wave, a second struck her, and she sank quickly.

HERE’S MORE ABOUT ARMS MEET STARTS ON PAGE ONE gates on the British reservations to Secretary Hughes’ sweeping pro gram for naval armament limita tien were obtained from most au thoritative sources, The American delegates have de termined that to insure a binding limitation of armament it is im- Perative that the ldyear naval holiday, during which time no cap ital ships would should be observed strictly. The fear is that the British pro- posal for building one big ship « year might jeopardize the agree ment of limitation, It might be. come easy to lapse back into the Practice of building more ships with possible resultant friction between the powers. America’s delegates also believe that a complete holiday would have & great moral effect on the world and might make possible after the ldyear period a greater cut in navies than is now propased. The American advisory council, it was learned today, has Informal ly discussed the British reservations and is prepared to recommend against any “backeliding” on the naval holiday. The council unanimous in this respect, said. The belief in American quarters is that Great Britain will not in- sist on keeping a few shipyards it was ships during the proposed holiday. American delegates have noted that the British Wberal press is attack- ing Arthur Ralfour for making these British reservations. SHIPYARDS OPEN FOR PEACE VESSELS American advisers do not betleve it will be difficult to resume the replacement of capital ships after 10 years, if none are built during that period. Jt was pointed out that yarts which would be kept in operation to Build big passenger liners and freighters and smaller faval craft could, without any great delay, be made available for con- structing dreadnaughts after 10 years. The United States has no desire to build huge submarines, much as Germany employed during the war. for offensive purposes, but naval advisers believe this country’s po sition ag to undernea craft is some what different than Britain. The United States, it was raid, wants submarines for defense only. but with its const line much greater than the British isles, naval experts think the American pro posal for a tonnage of 90,000 is not excessive. At present, the Ameri- can tonnage is in excess of 100,000 tons. Japanese Approve Kato’s Acceptance BY CLARENCE DUBOSE TOKYO, Nov. 17. — Satisfaction was expressed in Japan today over the acceptance of the general prin- ciples of the Hughes armament re- duction proposals, made by Admiral Kato of Japan in Tuesday's seasion of the Washington conference. Optimism that details of the arma ment limitation program could be worked out was evident. This feel- ing was prevalent thruout the coun. try, excepting with a small minority of the press and naval officers. The question of the AngloJapan- ese alliance was looked upon as the most serious element now in the situ, ation. There was an undercurrent of resentment against the stand the United States was believed to be taking in opposition te renewel of the alliance. eee Gt. Britain Denies Philippines Report WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—An em- phatic denial was made today by high British sources that Great Britain had informed the United States that she is willing to guarantee the safety of the Philippines in the event that the American program for limitation of armaments is finally adopted. It was stated that such a proposal had not been under discussion. MEXICO PARLEY I$ DEADLOCKED WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—In- formal negotiations between the United States and Mexico regarding recognition of the Obregon govern- ment have reached a deadlock, ac- cording to information here today.

There's W. L Rhodes, Who's he? One of our leading merchants. How much does he get out of the cheat? Not a nickel. He's giving his time without pay. And he's making @ Very substantial contribution along with it, but saying nothing about it There are several other executives. Leading business men, all giving time and money, But what about these accountants, these other small fry? Well, they're bank clerks, these Accountants, one from this bank, another from that. The bank pays their salary while they're here at chest headquarters. They get noth- ing out of the chest, and are put ting some money into it besides. ‘These other small fry are chaps that have been asked to give part of their time to the campaign and) are doing figuratively. And there are a number of com- Mittees, lawyers, editors, advertising men, bankers, merchants, insurance men, that sort, who have been meet- ing every day for weeks before and since the campaign started, giving their time without cost, well as contributing to the chest with money BENEFICIARIES INVESTIGATED You, there are everal tnatitu- tions that many people have never heara sbout be fore. But we can put this in our pipe and amoke it ON; every institution that applied for a. part of the cheat's .oney was thoroly gtven the onceover, pulled to pieces, examined from cellar to garret by one or more committees of men who in- tended to put their own money into the chest, and the institution had to pass *muster or it didn't pas# at all. The system's all wrong; of course it is. There strouldn't be any need of charity. There should be enough work (for all to do, so that «we wouldn't have needy, hungry fam. ilies, People should not desert their dogs, men should not abandon de- pendent wives and children. Young girls should not be prey for design. ing knaves, But these things are, unfortunately, and there i» need of charity, and there are three virtues, faith, hope and charity, “and the greatest of these is charity,” At last we come to the 4,000 men and women who are the field organi- zation of the Chest campaign. May the scoundrel who started that malt clous lie about these people being paid $7.50 a day for their hard work, their labor of kindness, be pointed out to us that we can go and take a smash at him, the rat. WORKERS NOT PAID RED CENT These same field workers, go Ing from house to house, carry- ing the real burden of the cam- paign, are not being paid one red cent, but are taking time out of their business and homes to help a deserving cause. And on top of that, they are giving of their own money. Heretofore it cost the 46 charitable institutions included in the chest, each working singly, collecting for it self alone, 15 to 26 per cent to make these collections for its support. ‘This year, under the chest plan, the cost of collecting for all these 46 in- stitutions combined has been reduced to 3 per cent. So that, when all is said and done, and every. question and argument answered, the fact alone remains that the chest is a good chest, sound, with no trick bottom. and not nearly filled.

He was in the reform school from the time he was 14 until he dropped out of the life of his family entirely.” According to Mrs. Johnson, who was for years a neighbor of the Gard- ners at Colorado Springs, the famous mail train bandit came from a good Christian home. No one ever understood him,” Mrs. Johnson said. “He always had plenty of money to spend, but he simply would not go to school, He was always in some sort of a scrape. ‘His mother and father were two of the finest people one would want to know, When their children were young the Gardners came to Colorado Springs from Missouri. Mrs. Gard- ner had been left $50,000 which she turned over to her husband for in- vestment. He put it into Cripple Creek mining ventures, which were booming at the time. It wasn't long before all their money was gone, but they always managed to live com- fortably and had a good home for the children.” Mrs. Jonnson said during their resi- dence in Colorado Springs the Gard- ners occupied one of the finest homes in the city.
