'Washington, Dec 17. Conference
development! took a new and hopeful
turn tonight when It became known
that the French 10-shtp building1 plan
was submitted without the approval
of the Parle government and that di
rect conversation! between China and
Japan had brought the" Shantung con
troversy closer to a settlement.
Naval eub-oommittee aatlon toward
a flve-power pact on naval limitation
awaits an answer from Premier' Brland
en both the 10-ihlp project! submitted
'by French delegates now here and
upon the joint counter proposal con
curred in by Great Britain, the United
States, Japan and Italy that, Franca
aooept a capital ship strength of 175,
000 tons as compared to her present
mi oho tnm In dreadnaughtn.
A three-hour session of the sub
committee today was almost entirely
taken up by Albert gamut, head of
the French delegation, in presenting
views of French naval experts now
here as to the naval needs of France.
Secretary Hughes made a brief reply
tending to stimulate good feeling
among the committer members. The
official communique, however, would
admit nothing beyond the physical
facts that the committee met, talked,
adjourned and would meet again.

Further Instructions on the subject
were received today by the Japanese
delegates, and although their exaet
nature was not disclosed, there was
evident tonight among both Japanese
and Chinese a feeling that a final
agreement was only a question of
hours. ' ;
As to the French proposal! for a new
fleet of 10 86,000-ton capital ships,
which stunned conference circles when
they first became known, yesterday, it
was learned that they were framed
here by direction of, Admiral Debon,
chief French naval expert, under his
authority from the delegation to pre
sent the views of the French naval
general staff. Premier Brland and
former Premier Vivianl both had left
Washington before the admiral's pro
posals were framed. The Paris gov
ernment has now been informed by ca
ble of the situation and of the counter
proposition.
It was evident tonight that the 17B,-000,-ton
capital ship limitation for
France was proposed by the American
delegation originally, although the
form in which it was presented was
not disclosed. Italy's spokesman in
the subcommittee, Senator Schanser,
replied that Italy accepted the Ameri
can point of view, as to tonnage whole,
heartedly and would be satisfied with
17t,000 tons If Franoe accepted that
figure. r .;.
The ItaUan Position.
The position of the Italian delega
tion as it is understood to have been
developed during the committee ses
sions is that the Italian government
had two principles to maintain in the
naval ratio discussion, one, that the
Italian navy should be on an equality
wit) that of any other power In the
Mediterranean; two, that the Italian
ratio should be as low as possible for
Italy's purely defensive purposes.
Italy's agreement To the American 175,-000-ton
ratio, conditioned only on ao
oeptanc of that ratio by France, fol
lowed. Knowledge that the French 10-shlp-buildlng
plan, which up tonight had
seemed a stumbling block In the way
of the conference, was merely the sug
gestion of the French naval staff here,
as to what it deemed desirable for
France, put a wholly new face on the
present deliberations of the naval com
mittee. The connection of the French
experts outlining their views was not
only, It Is understood, authorised by
ths French delegation as a means to
bring about a full discussion of the
general problem of naval relativities,
but it was also supported by confer
ence precedent. -
The only written presentation of
Japan's first claim to a naval ratio of
70 per cent as compared with the
American fleet, so far as known, was
made by Japanese experts in the orig
inal committee of experts, abandoned
later by the naval committee of 15 on
which conference delegates themselves
sit. Except for that .change, the
French suggestion probably wouid
have been presented to the experts'
committee. It appears to have been
drawn up for that purpose.

North Wllkesboro Eligible,
Representative Doughton was today
notified by the postofflce department
that ellgibies for appointment as post
master at North Wllkesboro had been
certified by the civil service commis
sion, and were as follows: first, J. O.
Hackett; second, Henry Reynolds, and
third, Capt R. E. Walters.
Hackett, who leads in ths rating Is
the present postmaster and a Demo
crat, while ths secpnd and third ones
in ths list are Republicans.
It Is believed here that there will
be a lively rumpuS over this appoint
ment regardless of how It Is made, or
which one of the Republicans, Rey
nolds or Walters, gets the Job.
Tar Heel Democrats seem to think
the Democratic candidate at North
Wllkesboro hasn't much chance to
land the postmsstership and Repre
sentative Doughton shares that view.

Raleigh, Dec. 17. Grand Old Han
Rufe got Into real action today when
his next door neighbor Tarn Bowie un.
dertook to take tha penalty off tax
payers who don't pay their tribute by
ths end of January, and Grand old
Man Rufs won.
It was the closest and prettiest bat
tle. of tha session. Fur new, -but no
body got mad and for once party
politics had no connection with It
The efforts of Bowie were directed to
ward removing ths penalties against
all tax-payers who fall to discharge
tneir aebts beiore jrebruary i. ana to
prohibit any premium on the payment
of taxes during the months of October
and November. Bowie drew to bis
support the speaking aid of Repre
sentative Murphy, of Rowan, who said
that he would oppose the principle in
ths law it hs lived to be 68 minutes
older than Methusaleh. Mr. Doughton
attacked Everett, of Durham, and
Grant, of Davie, to ths advooaoy of
"business methods.'
The' real merits of ths bill will not
get the regular tryout Bowie was
fighting to have the measure put upon
the calendar and heard in the first see
slon after the morning hour, Doughton
Insisted that it go before the finance
committee. The Alleghany man is
chairman of that committer Mr.
Bowls told the house that meant
death, that the chairman of the com
mittee oall It together when hs saw
fit. The Alleghany man fought like
a wildcat for his own committee and
won. It was evident that Speaker
Grler waa against Mr. Doughton, but
there was no way known to the cnair
by which the house could block the
flight of tne bin to tne uougmon oom
mittee, save the vote On the show
down the vote was 41 to 48 and Bowls,
Murphy and ths friends of the no-
penalty kissed ths gentry an anec
tionate goodbye. i
Hendricks' BUI Put to Death.
The house put to death Represents
tlvs Hendricks' bill modifying the
death oenalty In three of the four eap
Ital offenses. Mr. Hendricks would
have laid upon the Jury the duty of
indicating ths degree of guilt and the
punishment to fit tha crime. The bill
which was Introduced early in the ses
sion, djd, not get out lor .discussion .un
til, today. And there was neither time
nor Inclination to talk. Baby Glover,
of Nash, movsd to table and the vote
was 91 to 88. The baby la understood
to be in favor of the bill and sharply
In favor of soms modifications of the
present law, but this was not ths time
for the debate. The bill could not have
passed under any conditions at the
present session. Only a wholesale death
penalty In the house and a new birth
in the senate would get a start for
such a proposal.
Ths Thomasvllls bank cases had a
little indirect airing today, too. Ben
ator Lambeth of Davidson had in
troduced a bill allowing the governor
a limit of 11,600 In rewards for big
criminals. Ths senate passed the bill,
but the house was not friendly to the
proposal. Murphy, of Rowan, regard
ed the needa local and thought ths com
munities In which the offenses re
committed, particularly thoss connect
ed with the bank, should prosecute the
criminals even to offering big rewards.
Amendments went ths way of the main
issus. .
Nearly all tha measures of sharply
controverted- character having passed
or gone back for a new start, neith
er house had anything of large state
Interest today. Many members went
home and soms of them will' not re
turn. Monday's session should have
about 90 members of ths lower houub
and 40 of the upper. Tha constitutional
convention will not be undertaken. The
proponents cannot agree on detail. -Tha
general Impression is that the
state will not havs a constitutional
convention no matter what the needs.
Ths referendum on calling it would
probably carry it, but the proposal to
deny popular ratification Is fatal. The
history of the 10 amendments of 1914
Is Intsrestlng now, Governor Bickett,
who was the foremost champion of the
10 befors he became governor, always
prophesied that 10 could not carry
simply beeauss they were 10. But
eventually he saw substantially all the
10 enacted by offering them in brok
en doses. Governor Morrison fought
the endorsement of the 10 amendments
in 1914 and claimed the salvation of
thres congressmen by defeating con
vention endorsement. The Republican
convention strongly supported the
work of a Democratic legislature in of
fering ths amendments. Ths Republi
cans in both houses are not disposed
to work for ths constitutional conven
tion Senate Session.
It took the senate ' about an hour
Saturday morning to dispose of the
local road bill taking one of the
townships out of tha general highway
district of Graham county this morn
ing, but the divorce was Anally' ac
complished on a vote that, followed
party lines pretty closely. Ths bill
provided for the repeal of the 1921
law creating the county highway com
mission for Graham county and waa
Introduced by request by Mr. Graham,
of Graham, before he became so ill
that he was forced to leave the city.
"Senator Dewer, of ' the district In
which Graham county Is located, op
posed ths bill because he did not be
lieve the township system for road
work as effective or as efficient as
tlio' county-wide measure. When the
measurs came up he moved the bill
be tabled and gave his reasons for
making this motion. He explained
that he had tried to get some expres
sion of opinion from the representa
tive of Graham before he had to leave
the city, but that his.'phyelcal condi
tion was such that he could not get
him to make any decision. He had
told some that he did not want his
1921 road bill changed, and others
that hs did lot object to ths pro
posed measurs.
Sol Gallert, senatorial watchman
and protector of the interests of the
Democrats In the strongly Republican
counties of ths west, could see in the
bill nothing but an effort of the two
Republican townships of Graham,
which have never yjited for roads, to

lit to (1.
Opponents of ths measnre fought It
to ths last and forced a roll call on
the ground that the vote as announced
did not Include a quorum of the house.
The roll call resulted 181 to 71 and
the bill now goes to the senate..
In wrangling over the measure the
house attempted to chop It to pieces
wun amendments. The first actual test
was an amendment by Represntatlve

duce the amount from (20,000,000 to
810,000,000, which was defeated, 71 to
60. . . ...
There had lean two solid hours of
debate during which a flood of elo
quence was let loose on the argumsnt
that the starving children of Russia,
regardless of the bolshevik ruin that
had brought about their distress
should havs their cry for bread slleno-
ed with American food, when a new
fight waa started over proposals to
tear ins bill to pieces. ,
Protesting against ths use of funds
for ths people of any forelsrn nation
Chairman Madden, of the appropria
tions commutes, declared It was sasy
to vots a tax on the backa of the
American people, and cry at, the earns
time for economy. -
"There are conditions of distress In
(his country which would appall Con
gress If I dared relate them." Mr.
Madden Shouted, adding that infor
mation to this effect had been laid be
fore him confidentially.
"But I cannot see my way clear to
vots money out or ths treasury," said
ths chairman, "whan it Is not to be
used to relieve ths distress of the
people we were sent here to serve."
When the time came to receive
amendments, mors than a score of
members, jumping to their feet, de
manded recognition. In the midst of
Vhe flood of them, Representative
uooaykoonts, Republican. West Vlr
glnla, stepped forward with a new
paragraph which would direct ' tha
President to spend -120,000,000 for re
lieving distress among the "starving
hungry and unemployed eltlsens of the

a point of order, but the West Vlr
glnla Republican stood his ground.
"My amendment may not come with
in tha rules of the house," Mr. Goody.
koonts declared above the din, "but It
at least has the merit of coming with

States."
After that, amendment! were set up
in rapid succession only to bs knocked
down. About all that was tacked on
to ths original bill waa a direction
that grain for tha Russians be pur
chased In.. ths United States and sent
to Russia In American bottoms, and 'a
direction that a report of all expen
ditures be made to Congress) by the

Rumor of a New Plot to

New Tork, Deo. 17 Ths thrills which
Nsw Tork experienced In Beptember of
ras". ysar when Wall Street was rocked
by a bomb which killed nearly two
score persons wars revived tonight.
coincident with ths arrest of a sus
pect in Warsaw and the arrival from
Washington of William J. Burns, chief
of the bureau of Investigation of the
department of justice, to take personal
charge of the cass, there were dlrculat-
ng the downtown financial district ru
mors of a new radical plot to blow up
the stock sxchange.
Local authorities, while admitting
that special guards had been placed
around the. exchange and other build.
Inga. professed to attach no great Im
portance to reports that threatening
letters had been received by a num
ber of brokers. In this connection were
recalled a number ot postcard "threats "
to blow up tha custom house and post-
office which followed the sensational
blast of 1920 and fulled to materialise.
Mr. Burns, on his arrival, added
nothing to his statements In Washing
ton that the arrest In Warsaw of Wolfe
Llndenfold, former representative In
Nsw York of Lenine and tha third In
ternationale and later In the service
of the department of justice, would
clear up the mystery which had sur
rounded the case.- He said nothing
tending to confirm reports current here
that local arrssts were expected. ,
During the Investigation, which ex-
tsnded around the world with the offer
of rewards exceeding 8100,000 and re
sulted In the arrest In this country and
Canada of a score of suspects, who
wsrs subsequently discharged, Mr.
Burns maintained from the first that
ths explosion was the work of the third
Internationale, as Indicated now in dis
patches from ahrond. Suspects round
ed up and discharged Included:
A former tennis player, arrested in
Canada aflsr he had claimed a psychic

Washington, Dec 17 The news from
abroad ' that France Is seeking a
treaty of alliance with England ex-,
plains France's demand here for a
ratio In the naval agreement that will
permit her to bulid ten super-hoods.
France makes her claim here for the
purpose of trading when her premier, '.
M. Hrland, gets together with the
British premier, Mr, Lloyd George,
France's super-hoodi are a jest. Tha
British find it a jest too deep for
laughter. If they treated this Imagin
ary fleet ot a bankrupt nation ths way
they treat the possible fleets of Ger
many and Russia, as something to be
considered when It begins te corns In
to being, something which may causa
all thres of the great naval powers
to modify the agreement in ths future,
Franoe could be left out ot the pad
being made here as Germany and
Russia are being left out.
But England, perhaps to get France
Into the position of crossing ths oath
of ths united states and opposing the
American program, pnsists that, in
Imaginary fleet bs treated as a reality,
It may be that her plan to modify Is
to Induce the United Btates to' use
pressure upon France, for the day or
reckoning between Franoe and Kng
land la at hand. In tha conference
whloh Is coming between M. Brland
and Mr. Lloyd George.
The two countries lave been drift
ing steadily apart alnce the signing of
the treaty of Versailles. They are a't
odds over German reparations. They
differ over Poland and the little en
tente. Thsr have had a violent alter.
cation over Turkey, leading Lord Cur
son In the midst ot this peaceful con
ference here In Washington to launch
a bitter attack upon his cross-chsnnel
neiahbor. In snlta of Mr. tisifmir's
kind words the two countries are rad
ically apart on the Question of land
armaments, which Franoe la responsi
ble tor maintaining at homo and en
couraging In l'oland and In southeast
ern Europe. They are tar from agree,
ment upon Russia. -
France finds herself drifting toward
isolation as Japan did before this con
ference waa called. Only on Incident
ha saved her from the appearanoe of
isolation In this oanfersnoa and that
was Mr. Hughes insistence that Franca
be Included In the four-power pact In
the Vaolflo, .and the American secre
tary's motive was not so much ap
proval of. Francs aa regards to Amer.
lea's prejudices against this country'
snterlng Into a combination with Eng
land and Japan alone.
Great Britain la now. all the readier
to throw Franca ovetboard, to iso
lata her In Europe because the con
ference here has fre.d her hands In
ths I'aoiflo, giving her more opportun
ity to concentrate on Europe and be
cause she sees In closer relations be
tween herself and thla oountry a
chance to cut herself free from a part,
ner In Europe who embarrasses her.
Francs la fighting not to bV Isolated.
Hor ons point of attack upon England
is ths navy. Given a navy, given sven
a largt fleet of submarines, France
friendship bscomes essential to Eng
land. Thus equipped France may
pursus her alms on ths continent and
England will have to veil her disap
proval. Isolate France and leave her
outslds ths restriction of naval agree
ment and ahs must at least build a'
largs fleet of submarines. Thsrsfnra
Mr. Balfour Insists that the big pow
ers Include France In their pact end
make restrictions especially upon tub
marine building which keep her from
forcing hersslf as a partner upon
England.
There is ths whole politics of
France's extraordinary demand for Ihn
rlght to build a navy which hs not
and , is not likely to have money tn
build. Probably France makes her
cnpltul ship demand largely liecsuro
umv tuumtnnt allowance wilt ne pro-
portioned to her capital ship quota.
Hubmarlnes srs what Interest' her.
They touch England where tha is
weakest. They will give Frsnce a
hold upon Englsnd which England
cannot Ignors, A hard and fast alli
ance between EnglnnS and Frame, '
an understanding between them with
regard to reparations and ths future
of Germany, an agreement on tha near
east, to be reached between Hrlanil
and Lloyd George would probably
cause France to accept gracefully a
large cut by nils conference in her
demands tor capital ships.
lint Mr. l.loyd Ueorce wishes not t
pay this price to rid himself from
French submarines. Through Mr. llnl
four, he Is seeking to use the desire of
the United Htates to see the naval con
ference a success In order to free him
self from France. If the United Btates
will stand with England against
France on ths ratio, M. Hrland will go
to Lloyd George hat In hand. If It
does not M, Brland will go to Llovd
George club In hand.
Ilehlnd France'a Imaginary capital
ships lie submarines and behind sub
marines lies the issue ot the political
hegemony ot Europe for which Great
Mrltaln and Franca are more than
ever rivals.
