The French, Italians and Japanese all announced that they would have to await Instructions before deciding on the proposed 10,000 ton limit for all craft below the capital ship class. The French hoped to be in a position to an nounce -their decision today. The American proposal regarding air plane carriers also provided a ton nage limitation for the several powers in that type of ship. It was discussed only briefly yesterday without commitment by any of the delegations. Another development of yester day's momentous committee session the French proposal that their country be permitted to replace ment of capital ship tonnage in 1927, four years before the termina tion, of the proposed ten year holi daywas being considered today by naval experts of the other powers. In moat quarters this proposal which was offered as a reservation to France's definite acceptance of the 175,000 ton capital ship ratio was not regarded as likely to en danger In any way the capital ship agreement, but it was characterized by Mr. Balfour in the committee ses sion as a ''serious Interference", with the holiday plan. The plain-spoken exchange be tween Arthur J. Balfour and M. Surraut heading the French dele gation over the possibilities of a future war between France and the British Empire following" presenta tion of the French program in sub marines and auxiliary ships yester day was the subject of an animated discussion in political circles today. The statement of the British dele gation head that he would reserve full expression on the submarine issue until "It comes up before a public conference" made it appear certain that more would be heard of it before adjournment of the con ference. Italy Well Pleased. Washington, Dec. 29. Despite what was described as prospective failure to accomplish some things expected by the people of the world the Washington conference In the opinion of an Italian spokesman ex pressed today, has been of fcreat value to the world at large from an educational point of view as it has tended to prevent the people from thinking of war. The conference the Italian, spokes man added also has disclosed the political aims of all of the powers. Above all things, he said, Italy was pleased ' with the clear light that has been thrown upon the Ameri can position as Italy had seen that the greatest and most powerful na tion In the world was animated- by the spirit of peace to a degree by nothing could disturb. Hard to Understand. .Washington. Dec. 29. The work of th armament conference was de clared by Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, In a formal statement today as likely to make it a historical meet- Ung for its "monumental lauuieo rather than ror m muim....-. achievements." Mr; King assailed the arrangement by which the Japanese are Permitted to retain the Mutau and the BriMsh two -super-hoods and the United States to keep some of her greatest dreadnaughts. He said many sena tors were still in a quandary as to the interpellation of the four power Pacific treaty and the guarantees It provides. .. . toon, " .

(By As sociated Press) Judge Claire B. Edwards, of the circuit court of Lake county,, today upheld an In dictment charging Governor Len Small with embezslement of $500, 000 of state funds and nine of the thirteen counts of an Indictment charging the governor, Lieut.-Gover-nor Frederick E. Sterling and Ver non Curtis, a banker of Grant Park. 111., with conspiracy and operating a confidence game involving $2,000, 000 in state money. ine court ordered the governor to trial January oh the $600,000 embezzlement charge. Judge Edwards sustained the at torneys for the governor and Mr. Curtis in part by quashing an Indict ment charging them, together with Mr. Sterling with embezzlement of $700,000; and quashed three counts charging conspiracy and the one charging confidence game in the other Joint indictment. As a result Mr. Curtis will face trial only on the nine remaining counts of the con spiracy charge. The decision was marKea ny a scathing arraignment of Charles W. Byers, county clerk of Sangamon county, who admitted on the stand that the records ot nis omce con taining the minutes of the county board which selected the grand jur ors who subsequently indicted the governor and his- fellow defendants had been latered. The charges against the governor ina lieutenant governor ana ir, Curtis centered around alleged Hie- ! n mo tires during the term of Governor Small as state treasurer, 1917-1919; and the term of Lieut. Governor Sterling as state treasurer, 1919-1921. The alleged illegal oper ations, according to a "special re Dort" returned by the grand Jury and made public by Judge B. 8. Smith, of Sangamon county, con sisted of the deposit In the "Grant Park Bank" at Grant Park, a town of about 600 population In Kanka kee county, a few miles from Gov. ernor Small's home, of sums of state money aggregating ?j which were then loaned to Swift & and Armour and Company rhlcaeo packers, on notes paying 7 to 8 per cent interest. Not more than two per cent of this interest was paid to the state, the grand jury claimed, and the defendants are charged with retaining the remain- deThe "Grant Park Bank" the grand Jury said was a private Insti tution which ceased to function in 1908 and which had at the time of the alleged conspiracy only one de positor, the state of Illinois.
