At Its business session -today the council's executive oommitta de clined to create a commission on pub Ilo morals to give special attention to Sabbath observance, demoralising .amusements, marriage and divorce, and asked its commission of social service to look Into these matters.

Hawkins, of the Afrl oun Methodist Episcopal church, when he was elected seoond vice-chairman of the council's executive committee. The United Lutheran church was ac cepted as a consultative member of the council. The budget of 1923 calling for a to ut of 124 MOO was approved.'

The first of a aeries of annual fac ulty recitals of the music school of Greensboro college was given, in the auditorium of the college last evening by Miss Peart Seller, planing It was apparent from the beginning of her program that she is a player of com plete poles and need of refined touch. Her program, which ws In two well defined groups, the first consisting of works of the old masters and the sec ond composed of representative num bers from the modern school, opened with the Bach-Liszt "Fantasia attd Fugue In O Minor." The highly dra matic character of the fantasia con trasts with the uninterrupted flow of the wonderfully virile, clean-cut hu mor of the fugue, and both were well brought out by the finely poised, clear and Intent playing of Miss Heller. Two Chopen numbers followed, the "Walts In A Flat, Op. 42," and "Noc turne In O, Major," both played beau tifully and with poetic appreciation. Two Liszt numbers. "Dance of the Gnomes" and the "Twelfth Hungarian Rhapsody," concluded the first half of her program. The light, capricious quality of the first was brought out with perfect clearness and accuracy. The Hungarian rhapsody was pro jected In splendid style, brilliant in technique, and with deep- feeling. . From the modern school Miss Slier had chosen first, two Debussey numbers "Prelude In A Minor" and "Cathe dral Chimes Engulfed by ths Waves" both played quite Inimitably, evidently, In their modern style, make the strong est sort of appeal to her, Miss Seller was a' pupil of Percy Grainger; she quite naturally, then, la In complete sympathy with him In his ideas of modern Anglo-Saxon muBlo. and his characteristically bright and wnimaicai numbers. "Molly on the Shore" (Irish reel) and "Colonial Song," were well done, as was Qu Ion's Turkey In the Straw." Throughout her program Miss Seller Interpreted her numbers In masterful style, her playing giving evidence of Individual thought and a On artistic touch.

B. Ashburn, Wlnston-Halem busi ness man. Another development In the case to day was Information from the Wlnston-Halem authorities that they were hoUlhig warrants against Peaks on charges of embezzlement and forgery and requesting that if a writ of habeas corpus was granted on the murder charge that Peaks be held for them on these additional charges. Peaks denies his giilt of all' three charges. fTnllnwItiff. Ik. Hanlul wrl Cat1., attorneys filed a motion fora new trial. Action upon this Is expected to morrow.

GIVES THIS COUNTRY A NAVY EQUAL IN POWER TO THAT OF ENGLAND Tontlmiea rrom Paw tlnel throughout the negotiations In. .the most conciliatory spirit and had - ex hibited every desire to deal fairly with each other in arriving at a naval un derstanding. Realization by American and British officials of the strong ele ment of national pride which prompted Japan to ask retention of the Mutsu was sum co nave gone a long way co ward the successful negotiation of the understanding. It was plainly Indicated that the American, British and Japanese mem bers of the committea of 16 were strongly hopeful that a similar spirit of accommodation and understanding would be encountered In threshing out the places of France and Italv In the new naval scheme of things. Dis cussion of that phase of the problem has been impossible, it has been re peatedly pointed out officially, pending The three-power understanding. The question of naval ratios for France and Italy naturally takes pre cedence over other naval matters still to be determined. Beyond it lie. however, the problems of submarines, which Great Britain will raise as an issue of world naval policy; appor tionment of air craft carrier tonnage, In which Japan has Indicated an In tense Interest; determination of meth ods for scrapping 68 capital ships of the three powers, aggregating 1,861, 643 tons; proportionate allowances for other auxiliary craft; decision as to limitation of merchantmen for war use, and other less Important elements of the limitation plan. Apparently the decade naval holiday Is a settled issue, so far as the three major powers are able to determine It. Necessity for continuing some capital ship building for economic and engi neering reasons was one of the first objections advanced in British cir cles to ths original American pro posal. The announcement to the committee of 16 said In that connec tion: "The naval holiday of 10 years, with respect to capital, ships, as originally proposed by the American government, is to be maintained except for permis sion to construct . ships as above stated?' .. . . This was construed as meaning that Great Britain's necessities with rela tion to tapering off In naval construc tion work rather than halting all con struction abruptly had been met through the addition of two new su perdrendnauKhts. " Despite the fact that the American battleships Colorado and Washington were named in the official announce ment as to be retained under the new plan, the Washington may yet be sent to the scrap heap or otherwise dis posed of. It wos Indicated strongly to day that further examination Into the cost and economlo effect of scrapping the Washington of the West Virginia, sister ships, had disclosed that It would be cheaper and mora satisfac tory to retain the West Virginia, which Is said to be further advanced toward completion than tha Washington al though launched a month later. The Washington Is under construc tion at Camden, N. J and the West Virginia at Newport News, Va. Should the latter be selected for retention, every major building yard on tha At lantic coast would have some work to complete In the taperlng-oft process before ths 10-year holiday takes eneci. The change In the naval scrapping plan was officially estimated tonight as being calculated to yiem an auui- tlonal saving of from .16,000,0110 to 130,000,000 for the United States, while It will add itu.uuu.uuu or mora to urrai Hrltaln'a exneditures and make no change over the original proposal for Japan. Oreat Britain will benefit more than the other two powers, however, in deferment of replacement building with respect to her two newest ships. Under the agreement, also, Oreat Brit ain will dispose at the end of the 10 year period of the excess of 86,200 tons In capital ships over tne unueo oii. which she will retain during tho holi day aa compensation for the older type of her present Royal Sovereign- and Queen Elizabeth battleships as com pared to the American and Japanese ships of ths Maryland and Mutsu class.
