AMERICANS WIN PARLEY VICTORY Warship Limitation to be First Order of Business Thursday Ixmdon, Jan. 28. —(U.R) —The American delegation'to the naval conI fcrence today won its demand for presentation of the case ot auxiliary warships limitation first at the next plenary session Thursday. The chief delegates, meeting at St James palace, also decided that the plenary session would discuss the main conference questions, the countries with proposals offering them in alphabetical order. The American delegation won a second victory when it was decided to admit certain representatives of the press at the plenary session Thursday. Secretary Henry L. Stimson had offered to give up three seats occupied by American technical experts to permit attendance of reporters. An official announcement said the discussion of the conferenc'e agenda was continued this morning and that the meeting Thursday will set up a committee or principal delegates to study the questions further. Reijiro Wakatsuki, chief Japanese delegate told the press that the Franco-Italian differences had been discussed and that the British delegates had presented their viewpoint on France's proposal to have the conference define categories of warships before taking up other questions. The agreement on alphabetical discussion of the main questions means the American delegate will speak first, probably presenting the United States case for limitation of cruisers, submarines, torpedo boats, etc., prior to discussion of battleship limitation. — —o —— Indiana Conditions Discussed At Meet Washington, Jan. 28.’—(U.R) —The prohibition situation in Indiana was discussed at the justice department today at a conference between Oliver M.
