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- ?

ciples like the four agreed upon yesterday
will be adopted. Indications

PROGRESS HADE
FOR REDUCTION
Washington, Nov. 21 (By the Associated
Press).?There was strong in.
dication today that definite progress
toward an agreement on American
proposals for naval reduction and limitation
was being made although no
definite action was taken.
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

ATLANTAN FACES
SERIOUS CHARGE
Atlanta, Nov, 21.?On direction
from Governor Hardwick, a warant
charging embezzlement was issued
today by RI. 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.^

Hancock street, the sweet soul of
Frank Davis, the nine-months-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Davis wended 1
its way to the little home prepared
for him in the great heavens beyond, a
house not made with hands.
Little Frank was a bright and .intelligent
baby. Everybody dearly
loved him and his departure leaves a
vacant chair which never can be
filled. He was ill about three weeks

ITALY REDUCES
HER GREAT ARMY
Washington, Nov. 21.? Itfly has no
fear of any of her European neighbors
and her sole desire ps to have
the feelings aroused by tha Var subtide
and give way to thd spirit of
peace, an official spokesman of the
Italian delegation to the arms .conference
said tonight. Following' the lead
given by Senator Schanget in his
speech today before the conference the
spokesman declared that' $t*ly had
not even awaited the call foi this conference
to begin rcduct||p of her
great army which now Jnas been

Moreover the period of military service
which before the wa|' was two
and one-half years alreadjtfihad been
substantially reduced, it wijfe explain
ed, and propably would be cut to
eight months.
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. Germany,, not being
a- close neighbor, occupies a position,
it was explained, difffrlnt from
Franc#* and -the natural .defenses of
Italy afforded by the Alps enabled
her to ignore any threat ftom Russia.
As to Austria, the ItUans cherISSfcLonl^
the kindest feemags. Italy,
.having give? proof of v?t, it was

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 '(?

SUPREME COURT i
RULES ON TAXES*
Washington, Nov. 21.?Decisions of
the supreme court today, upholding ^

1 come tax cases, will in the opinion of s
Solicitor General Beck and treasury f'
' officials go far/, toward unraveling s
1 many perple^TVig questions arising in c
1 stock dividend controversies and re'
suit in the recovery by the govern- I1*
ment of many milliohs of dollars. d
Two of the cases were similar a id u
involved taxation as income of stock li
' issued stockholders of the Ohio Oil G
' and the Prairie Oil & Gas companies *
1 by the Illinois and the Prairie Pipe f<
Line companies, respectively. The pi ie
' line com panics were organized by the v

commerce and federal trade comm's- u
sions had jurisdiction over compan'es
owning pine lir.es. The government h
contended the stock,should be classed I;
as income and tax^d as such. This tl
contention was opposed by the co u- a
penies and various stockholders, in- h
eluding .John 1). Rockefeller. It
Justice Pitney delivered the n ?
iority opinion of the court, Justices F
Van Devanter and McReynolds ?!.s- it

The third case in which a dtvis: >n s<
was handed down grew out of the < r- fi

SENATORS HAVE
TILT IN SENATE
Washington, Nov. 21.?The Fordlewberry
senatorial election contest
i Michigan was laid uside by the
mate tonight, probably not to come
ormally before the body again for
everal weeks. After a day of disussion
in which Henry Ford, who is
untesting the seating of Senator
lewberry, was both denounced and
ifended and which was enlivened b>
heated tilt between Senators Wilams
of Mississippi and Watson of
leorgia, the election controversy was
idetracked to make way for the eon.'rence
report on the revenue bill.
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.*
