Make* Final Speeeh Ex
plaining Disagreement
I - '"Washington, Aug. i?(APV?*\
Hope of the Washington Govern
ment that the efforts for further
n^val limitations which failed to
day at Geneva can be resumed at
aft early date was indicated in a
formal statement issued today, by
Secretary Kellogg.
'Geneva. Switzerland, Auk. 4.?
CAP)?The Tri-Partite Naval Con
ference came to au unsuccessful
end today. After nearly seven
weeks of discussion the delegates
of the United States, Great Brit
ain and Japan found themselves
unable to reach an agreement on
the limitation of cruisers, destroy
ers, and submarines which was
the object of the conference.
Tire end came after Hugh S.
Gibson, chief of the American
delegation had made the final
address of tho session, the" confer
ence adopting a joint declaration
adjourning the conference sine
die.
Tho . immediate adjournment
came after a vote of thanks had
been adopted for Mr. Gibson, the
motion being made by W. C.
Bridgemau. chief of the British
delegation, seconded by Admiral
Viscount Ishll of Japan.
In his final address to the con
ference resulting the American
position, Mr. Gibson head of the
American delegation pointed out!
that the invitation to the confer
t ence by President Coolldge left
no room fo>' doubt as to the na
ture of the proposal the American
delegation would make. Those
proposals ho said had conformed
strictly to the spirit of the invita
tion and he recalled that the Jap
anese had indicated willingness
to negotiate on the basis of mini
mum figures suggested by the Am
erican delegation.
"From the first however, we
encountered a serious difficulty
in the claim of the British gov
ernment that it needed a consid
erably larger number of cruiser^
than it now possessed." Mr. Glb
i son said:
He added that while the Brit
ish claim had been defended on
the ground of absolute naval
needs of tho empire the American
delegation nover had been ablo to
reconcile "the concession of abso
lute naval needs with the nego
tiations of u treaty to fix limita
tion on the basis of mutual con
cession."
"Further,'* he said, "wo have
not yet been able to understand
why, in a time of profound peace
and at tho moment that we are
seeking to reduce the burdens of
naval expenditures, tho British
governmehl considers a consider
able program of naval expansion
as an absolute and even a vital
necessity.
Calling attention to the British
suggestion for strict limitation of
the larger type of cruiser armed
with eight inch guns and for llm
IUuk all smaller craft to six Inch
? cans. Mr. Gibson said the emaller
?hips would be of relatively small
use to the United States for lack I
of cruising radius and protection.!
? "The Immediate and oovious
reshlt of acquiescing In the*e Brlt-I
ilh proposals," ho maintained, I
"would have been that the British
Umpire would have been able tol
bplld exactly what It desired and
that we, on the other hand, would
'be ?restrained from building what
we considered we might need, and
y?t the tonnage levels Insisted on
by.tile British Kmpln would result
In . a substantial Increase over
present strength/*

STEPS TO BUILD
BRIDGE AND ROAD
ON BEACH BEGUN
Committee Launches Ac
tivities fur Organization
of AnHOciation to Open
Up (ioaHtal Region
KUGLEK FAVORABLE
Steps toward the organization
of an association to promote thej
construction of a bridge across]
lower Currituck Sound, and a|
road from that point along thej
North Carolina coast some ten
miles to the point where a bridge
from Roanoke Island, now under
construction, connects with the
beach, will be taken at a meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce to
night at 8 o'clock.
The committee was appointed
at a meeting of the Merchants
Bureau of Elisabeth City Tuesday
night. The value of the proposed
road and bridge is seen in that it
will make available Immediately
to motorists from all parts of the
country the Nation's birthplace of
aviation on Kill Devil Hill, and
the scene of the first English
settlement In the New World on
Koanoke Island.
One of the prime motives be
hind the activities of the commit
tee Is to make available to Amer
ica and the world a great monu
ment to aviation to be erected on
or near Kill Devil Hill. Thin
memorial was authorized at the
last session of Congress, and
plans for it are being formulatedJ
by a committee consisting of the
Secretaries of War, Commerce
and the Navy.
The distance acrots Currituck
Sound Is approximately three
miles, mainly of very shallow wa
ter. An engineer formerly an of
ficial In the Navy recently made a
survey of conditions there, and
tendered an ostlmate of $100,000
as the probable cost of the struc
ture.
Frank C. Kugler. of Washing
Ion, member, of tho 8tate High
way Commission from the First
District, made a trip over th?'
route of the proposed bridge and j
beach highway some two weeks,
ago. and expresesd himself as
heartHy Ih favor of the project.:
Inasmuch as this scant 13 miles
of construction would provide an
unbroken system of Improved'
highways reaching from Manteo.!
easternmost county seat In the'
State, to Murphy, tho western-!
*nost.
Persons who have travelled [
along the present unimproved i
beach road from Manteo to the
lower end of Currituck Sound are I
enthusiastic over the beauty off
the scenery, with the great ocean
on one hand and the placid North
Carolina sounds on the other,
with great sand dunes looming In
the distance through the wood
lands that stretch along that part
of the coast.
The completion of the Chowan
Bridge, affording a new neighbor
linens between the Northeastern
counties and the remainder of the
State, and news that the approach-]
os to tho bridge an* to be hardsur
faced in the coming year, has add
ed new Impetus to the efforts of
persons here who foresee a great 1
new development for the section
through the proposed construc
tion projects to make the beach;
lands mofe accessible to tourists
and vacationists.
Lindsay C. Warren, member of;
the House of Representatives from '
the FlrBt North Carolina DIs- j
trlct. has committed himself as
enthusiastically In favor of this
and other developments to bring
the outside world to Northeastern
Carolina's vacation land. It |* an
ticipated that the work of the pre
liminary committee will lead to an
organisation through which the1
efforts of stt thir ffnrtHPgstFns!
Counties can be combined to putl
across the projects.
Three More Bodies
Are Found In Mine
After Explosion
Clay. Ky.. Auk. 4.?(AP) ?
TttTce unidentified bodies were
found early today by rescue work
ers In the uumber 7 mine of the
West Kentucky Coal Company,
.where an explosion occurred yes
terday. The total number of
known dead was seven with nine
j men still missing.
I Positive identification has been
made of the bodies of James fcdey
ers. 60, (ieorge Cole. Mark Town
send and Arthur ghelion, all
found yesterday. The three bodies
I discovered today were those of
j miners in the list of 1- men from
whom the rescue workers are
pushing thoir search.
I The explosion yesterday oc
curred on the tenth entry of the
j mine and the four bodies found
| on the seventh level. The rescue
] workers were hampered in their
progress as all the brattices of the
I pit shaft were destroyed In the ex
plosion.
I They were forced to construct
.now brattices as they went down
! Into the pit and had progressed as
far as the eighth level. The 12
men who are missing were be-i
lieved to bo on the tenth level
where the explosion occurred. Lit-1
' tie hope is held that they are
alive.
The air in the mino was re
ported to be bad and Jlyrd Samp-1
son one of the 41 one rescue work
ers, was overcome by after damp. |
He was brought to the surface aud i
revived through first aid treat-!
ment. No fire has been discovered!
thus far.

[two years ago, in which markets
I may be operated, but front which
' deliveries are prohibited, was
'blamed by the marketiiien tor
, most of their troubles. They held
! also that rents were entirely too
I high In the City Market, and ad
ivanced the argument that if these
(were reduced to what they termed
I a reasonable figure, with ubolltlou
' of the zone, the outside market
{operators would be forced Into tho
I City Market, and it would return
i lo a self aunnorHug status^

' Members of the delegation, not
ably MIIlou Love aud Hob Davis,
charged that deliveries were being
| made from markets in the zone,
I In vlolatlou of the law. Mr. Davis
f mentioned litxvlug visited one uf
(these markets recently, and said
'that duriug his visit, two orders
I for meats were received over the
telephone. While he did not see
the deliveries made, lie declared
; he Was positive the orders were
?delivered.
[ Tom and Marlon Love, Maurice
| Pappeudlck und Thomas Crauk
I were the other marketmen pres
ent at tho meeting. They urged
also that immediate steps be tak
i en to correct conditions which
they said were threatening to
drive them out of busiuess.
The market zoue is the north
iwest part of the city lying wilhlu
the angle formed by the intersec
tion of Harney and Parsonage
streets. While this zone, with its
four markets, was the principal
bone of contention, objection was
voiced also to the operation of
other markets on the outskirts of
| the city, notably on Southern ave
nue, extended, und In Euclid
Heights. The marketmen de
manded that these competitors of
theirs tie prohibited from making
deliveries within the city, clalm
ng that they, too, were vlolatng
the law In that reaped. f
With reference to the fluauclul
status of tho City Market, Couii-'
cllman E. C. Conger, member of
the market committee, reported
that the cost of operating the
market during the year ending
Juue 3, with proper allowance for j
depreciation, was |9,000. The ren
tals totalled $6,760, ho staled,
leaving a net loss of $2,240.

Miltou Love held out stronglyI
for a reduction In rents in the,
building. He declared that more'
than half the stalls were unoccu

porlence In undertaking to make
a profit on operating several stalls '
ranging from $70 to $110 a
mouth. He said he finally had to
limit his space to one stall, though 1
most of the year lie needed more
room. With the Second Ward i
zone abolished and rentals re-1
duced, he predicted that the City :
Market would return Immediately
to the self sustaining basis oT
1024 and 102G.
At the close of the discussion,
Mayor Flora promised that a rem
edy for the situation would be
found. The Council voted to hold
a second session some time in the
next week or so, at which the
marketmen in the zone would bo
accorded a like privilege to be'
heard.

The New York Evening Post to
day say* Commander Richard E.
Ilyrd's scientific expedition Into
the anarctlc promise* to lie one of
the most stupendous undertakings
In history and will cost about *
quarter of a million dollars.
Thl*. Commander Dyrd admit
ted. Is an extraordinary lame
sum. hut declared It really a very
conservative one measured against
the slxe of the expedition, the dis
tance the supplies will have to be
transported and the fact that two,
and perhaps three, years will be
required for Its completion.
Commander nyrd said that Ed
sel Ford will not be the sole back
er of the expedition, lie said con
ferences have been arranged with
other men. w.ho have expressed a
desire to back It financially.
The commandt r declined to re
veal the names of the projected
backers. What la more Import
ant. h? said. Is the extensive pre
parations that must be made be
fore the flight to the South Pole,
which, In itself, will not take
more than a dozen hours or ao.
At the major base lu Discovery
Hay a minlatura modern city of
30 persons will ho constructed,
portable house* will be brought
from Norway to serve as homes
and workshops fur the scientist^
mechanics, und filers who will
comprise the community.
The houses will be provided
with telephones and heat will be
furnished by coal and oil. A ra
dio station, operating on a short
wave length is expected to main
tain communication with tho Unlt
j ed States. An airdrome will be
erected at the edge of the city for
the housing of thu two planes that
will be used In the expedition.
There will bo no automobiles In
the expedition but thero will be
several small tractors for towing
the plane* to the runways and tor
transportation of supplie*.
A large amount of canned gooda
will bo taken along but the party
expects to depend for meat oa
birds, polar bear* aud other *n

Commander Byrd said he and
Floyd Bennett, hie pilot on hie
flight to the North Pole, have
been working on the plana for the
la*t three weeks and have made
remarkable progress.
