Washington Conference Resumes Work ] Washington, Nov. 22.?Opinions have been exchanged among the arms 1 delegations with such unprecedented 1 directness that some of the cxpri- 1 need diplomats here btflieve they can 1 see what will be possible to accom- i plish with .the heads of American, 1 British and Japanese delegations working in a personal conference on i the naval reduction plan. Indications < are that an agreement is near on all , except the details. Similarly readi- t ness of all the nations to commit \ themselves to the general principles ] relating to the Far East and an out- , spoken objection of Japan to discuss- ? ing the details seem to have crystal- \ ized the conviction set of the prin- ( ciples like the four agreed upon yesterday will be adopted.

The big three of the arms limitation conference?Secretary Hughes, Arthur J. Balfour and Admiral Baron Kato, met in Mr. Hughes' 'office. Kach ;,1 ?i w.. I VTCIO aiucy uy uic tuici UUYUI c;vpi:ri8 of each power; but so far as could bci learned the discussion did not get beyond further talk over figures as to tonnage and other matters in the American plan. The fact that the experts had 'made such progress as to win the informal meeting of the heads of the three delegates chiefly concerned in the naval program was regarded as significant, however, and foreshadowing some early conclusion. There was evidence that during the conference the American experts were askd for and also rccivd further particulars as to the American proposals. Mr. Hughes, Mr. Balfour and Baron Kato were compelled to leave the Far Eastern conference before the experts were ready to separate but it appeared probable that there would be a further meeting tomorrow when the data presented today bad been reviewed. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, president of the sub-committee of "naval experts, Admiral Countz and Rear Admiral Pratt, chief American advisers, went at once to the navy department on leaving Secretary Hughes' office and work started at once on getting up the data requested of the American group. The nature of this material was not disclosed. There is no indication that any nange in me American proposen '5-5-3" ratio of fleet strength will be ionsidered by the American group, rhat ratio, however, under the American proposal would not apply for ben years or until replacements begin at the end of the ten years' building holiday. TfnTStftarn rm*?l-opIm?n da?/?aafe accept any suggestion that additional ships to those proposed in Mr Hughes' plan be retained by any power. That was based on the fleets as they were on November 11 as the 'zero hour" for application of a cut and the decatfe of no building. The Japanese contend, tt is understood, that the battleship Mutsu, proposed to be scrapped, was actually so nearly a finished ship on that date that she should Be retained. In that event it seems highly probable that the Unitid States would retain one or more af Uie new battleships now afloat but which she had offered to scrap. The point has not been threshed out as yet t>y the experts, however, nor has Japan definitely committed herself, it is siaieu, u> me o-o->s replacement ratio.

L. Brittain, state superintendent of education, against R Noble Berrien, Jr., president of R. N. Berrien, Jr., & Co., of Atlanta, who have been handling the deferred pay ment school warrants of the state. The governor's action, it was announced, followed the failure of Mr. Berrien to appear at the capital today to make good several thousand dollars worth of school warrants turned over to him. At the same time the governor was advised by private detectives who were on the case, itxwas stated, that Mr. Berrien had disappeared and all efforts to locate him were without success. Investigation of the handling of state warrants by the Berrien firm has been under way for about a week, it was stated after Governor Hard| wick had receivel information from a confidential source that Mr. Berrien was alleged to have used $50,000 worth of warrants to cover a personal overdraft at an Atlanta bank. It was learned the warrants had been used with a sight draft on a New York bank. The governor tele_ graphed the bank to rfeuse payment on the draft and return the warrants and was assured this would be done. The Atlanta bank also assured the state executive it would surrei der tne warrants when they were returned. An investigation then was started to ascertain whether Mr. Berrien could account for all warrants as previously turned over to him for discount. After completing this inves ^' tigation Superintendent Brittain notified the governor in writing that checks drawn by Mr. Berrien for school disbursements aggregatinT $35,500, had been turned down at th<x bank and that he had served notice on Mr. Berrien to make good these checks not later than 3:30 o'clock today. Governor Hardwick later today issued a statement saying: "The school warrants in question in conformity with the provisions of the statute, payable to the county and city superintendents of education ami*' were delivered by this office to e state superintendent of schools. office has followed strictly both' thp unbroken practice anto the law wiAi rsepect to these warrants. I "While I deeply regret the ocelrance nothing in my power could hive been done to prevent it. I earnestly hope the defalcation may ot papve very large and that Mr. Berrien rjiay be able to make it good.^ Foch Will Stop In Spartanburg New York, Nov. 20.?Marshal Foch will visit Charlotte, N.

There was no disposition on the part of Italy, it was added, to question the right of France to hiaintain a large army, inasmuch as occupied a peculiar position. But'Hhis large army, it was stated, was not regarded as a menace to Italy. The same statement mij|ht be applied to the Jugoslav military force, the spokesman continued* , Jtaly's relations t'qrith that country / were described as the "best" and jsHe did not regard the little pntente W a source of danger to hqr.

GIRLTELLS OF ARBUCKLE'S PARTY San Francisco, Nov. 22.?Furthei testimony by Jesse Norgard, the former motion picture studio watchman the first on the program in the state's effort to convict Roscoe Arbucklc of manslaughter in connection with the death of Virginia Rappc. Norgard worked at the Culver City, studios where Miss Rappe and Arbucklc were employed. San Francises, Nov. 21.-?Taking the stand today in the trial of Roscoc C. ("Fatty") Arbucklc, charged with manslaughter as a result of the death of Miss Virginia Rappe, motion picture actress, Zeh Prevost, one of the state's principal witnesses, repeated, in effect, testimony given by her at an earlier hearing in the case. She declared that she was a member of the party n Arbuckle's hotel suite following which Miss Rappe became ill and died. Miss Prevost testified Mis Rappc went into Arbuckle's room and that the film comedian followed her nnd locked the door. Later, she said, when Arbuckle opened the door. Miss Rappe, fully dressed, was moaning* on the bed. She then began to tear at her clothing, crying, "I am dying, I am going to die," the witness said. Miss Rappe was then put into a cold bath and later to bed. While Miss Rappe lay screaming Arbuckle cried; "Oh, shut up or I'll throw you out of the window," she testified. He then applied a piece of ice tc Miss Rappe's body in an effort to relieve her, the witness said. The trial took a new angle today with the calling of a witness by whom the prosecution announced they lu>i to prove a motive for the alleged attack on Miss Rappe which it is charged caused her death. This new w itness was Jesse K. Norgard, janitor < ] a motion picture studio. Norgard testified that Arbuckh once had offered him "a roll of bibs' for a key to Miss Rappe's room at th< studio and that he had refused th< offer. Miss Alice Blake, another inemhe: Arbuckle party, gave testimony substantiating in the main that '(? Miss Prevost.

Xo agreement as to a date for a ote was reached but the understandlg developed that little further conideration would be given to the case ntil late in December. The clash between Senators Wili.ins and Watson developed when the liter attacked Mr. Ford and declared nit "left over Wilsonites" i i the sentc were seeking to retire Mr. Newrry because he had opposed the ague of nations. Mr. Williams said he regarded Mr. ord as so far superior in "altruism, i worui sonse and in world vision to le sonator from Georgia (Mr. Wat>n) and myself that 1 can hardly nd words to express it." lie was interrupted by Mr. Watson, 'ho declared that he had not asked "clean bill of health" from Mr. Wilsons, and added: "1 stated that the war department ?eords show that in various items aid to Ilenry Ford, he was paid for laterials never delivered, one item ring for tractors, and the amount 'as $*>.000,000; that he kept his son i t of war when the sons of Senator iewherry were in the war." Mr. Watson also charged that Mr. 'ord had assessed his employees, blackmailed" them, he said, for $50.* 00 for his "expense account." Mr. Villiams denied that Mr. Ford had ver done such a thing, and added: "I did not approve of Mr. Ford's ourse during the war when the scnaor from Georgia was running with im, when they both were trying to flake peace for a common enemy? "When the senator states that, he tales.what-ia npt true* sbovftyd (Tntson.
