BORAH, POMERENE LEAD WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.—President Harding will be urged to stop all work on warships during the disarmament conference In resolutions shortly to make their appearance in the Senate. Senators Borah, Idaho, anil Pomerene, Ohio, will take the initiative in pressing upon the Administration the view that a suspension of all naval construction for the period of the conference would be a •imple act of good faith by the United States. Meanwhile the House Appropriations Committee virtually has decided that-the big Navy and Army appropriation bills which will provide funds for any anna meet work during the year beginning July 1, 1922, shall not be discussed until after the conference. There are two reasons for the committee’s decision: 1. To prevent embarrassment to the Administration during the arms parley. 2. Because the success or failure of the disarmament conference may dictate material changes. Congress has until late in June to pass the 1922 appropriations. Both Borah and Pomerene are of the opinion that such an armament suspension by the United States would make a considerable impression in the world. ,4 lf the world gets to know that America is honest about this disarmament matter the people in other countries will exert a tremendous Influence on their delegates to the Washington conference and we shall end by having all the nations honestly and earnestly seeking ways to reduce armaments,” said Borah. “But how fareial for us to go on building dreadnoughts, cruisers and destroyers while we solemnly talk about limiting naval armaments. “Os course we will be told that the other nations with naval programs are continuing. This continuance will doubtless be based upon financial grounds. "But to a great many folks in this country, it will appear that the way to disarm is to 6top building any more engines of war. And it will be a great aeal easier not to resume building arter the conference than it will be to stop then, and a great deal cheaper." While Borah's resolution probably will demand suspension, I’omereue's merely authorizes President Harding to suspend naval con-truction.

BANKERS SEE BETTER TIMES AHEAD IN U. S. 3,500 Financiers in Los Angeles Believe Business Is Stabilized. REPLACE WASTE WEALTH LOS ANGELES. Calif., Oct. 4.—Thirtyfive hundred bankers, representing 24.000 banks with resources of more than 536,000,000,000 today rejoiced at the cheerful prospect that better and brighter business days for the United States are Just around the corner. Presenting a country wide economic survey, prepared after months of careful observation by experts in every section of the country, John S. Drum, president of the American Bankers Association, told the delegates to the forty-seventh annual convention of the organization that “influences preventing the restoration of stable conditions are disappearing.” Mr. Drum also said in his address: "There is nothing in our demestlc situation nor in tba industrial situation that can sustain a pessimistic outlook or despondent view that the world has sunk into permanent depression.” PURCHASING POWER IS RECOVERING. The analysis from every nook and corner of the country also showed President Drum said, that “as prices moved toward stability on an equitable basis, the full purchasing power that is a necessary prerequisite of normal prosperity is being recovered. “Steadily, ns social and political conditions abroad improve, the wealth wasted In war is being replaced and foreign countries are working to rebuild the productive capacity that measures their ability to consume, and as foreign production increases World markets lor American goods are being reopened.” According to Drum three influences have served in the last year to retard a proper solution of America's domestic and economic problem. INFLUENCES THAT RETARD BUSINESS. "The first," he said, "is the mistaken idea that the process of readjustment is a struggle between producers and that each group is capable of improving its own condition at expense of the others and is striving to attain prosperity by keeping the other fellow down. “The second is the mistaken idea that legislation can deflect the operation of economic laws so as to benefit particular groups and the tendency to let the enactment of legislation be guided by political expediency rather than by sound economic- requirements. I “The third is the tendency to coin I

Drum cited “buyers strike" as a catch phrase which was misleading because it “was not that the people did not want to buy; it was simply that wartime prosperity was at an end, values were being reduced and people did not have the money to buy.” Drum's survey enumerated three “great domestic influences that more than all others are retarding the readjustment of prices and costs.” These he said are: First: “Tho delayed adjustment of the cost if labor.” Second: "The sustained high costs of transportation." Third: “The continuation of an unsound system of taxation that diverts working capital from its proper channels.” Prominent bankers who are present a* the convention agreed in interviews that the unemployment situation is one of the most important problems now confronting the country and must be glveu immediate attention.

Idaho, Oct. 4.—Alone behind three chairs at which sit her counsel, her face drawn from the trying days, her Ups colorless, her eyes searching faces of witnesses and Jurors, Mrs. Lyda Southard, alleged woman Bluebeard, is hearing today the testimony by which her guilt or innocence of murdering her fourth husband, Edward F. Meyer, is to be determined. Her mother, nerves shattered by the , early dnys of the trial, is ill at home. ! ller husband, fifth man to whom she has been bound in wedlock, and her faithful father, are barred from the courtroom by order providing for the separation of witnesses. There Is no hand to clasp hers in tho long grind of the days. "The State will prove beyond the shadow of doubt that hers was the criminal hand which administered the poison to Edward F.

Stephen, in his opening statement, defined the issues, and with the first witnesses brought before court and jury the contention of the State was that the poigon administered hud been übtaiued from fly paper. lOWA WOMAN TELES OF EXPERIENCE.

A room was fitted up for the couple in the boarding house, Mrs. Howe said, and it was expected she would arrive on Saturday. She did not arrive until the following Tuesday, Aug 26. She brought with her a quantity of fly paper, witnesses said, and placed parts of It in small saucers filled with water about the diuing room table. PHYSICIAN CALLED AFTER SEVERAL DAYS. Next evening Meyer was taken violently ill, the witness continued Thurs day he was much worse, and the witness urged thnt a physician be summoned. She repeated this suggestion Friday, when, she said, Mrs Meyer said: “Well I will call a Uocb r and th.-ti they i-sn t have anything to say.” I>r Coughlin was summoned and administered to the patient, tile witness said, and added, that lie showed no signs of Improvement Saturday he was still worse and Sunday evening lie was taken to the hospital In Twin Falls by Granville Haight, man ager of the ranch. Mrs. Meyer then left the ranch and the witness did tu t see her until the day Meyer died, when she drove to the ranch in a ear. Mrs llowe continued: "I went out to her car and sho said sha wanted to talk to me. 'E.I has Just passed away,' she said. She took me up into her room, and there said to me: “I suppose you have heard these stories about Ed 7” “I told her I had ” “ ‘Well,’ " she said, ‘if they ever do anything to me, 1 want you to be a witness fur me." “1 told her that I would tell the truth, if she C-id it, she ought to be punished." “She taid if she did it, sho ought to be.”
