DAWES TO AID M’DONALD IN PEACE DRIVE * American Envoy Declares Naval Experts’ Views to Be Discarded. BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON- June 19.—Great Britain faced the naval arms reduction problem with new T determination today, bolstered by the assurances of the qualified representatives of the two leading naval powers that they proposed to tackle the matter in a concrete way. Charles G. Dawes, United States ambassador, utilized his speech before the Pilgrims’ Society here Tuesday night as the time for declaring the principles which should govern future disarmament discussions. Human nature, and not the doctrines of naval experts, should govern those negotiations, he said. Simultaneously. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald told the town council of Lossiemouth. Scotland, that Great Britain and the United States wish the entire world to join them in working for international peace, and that neither government has any intention of offering a flat and final proposition to others. Dawes, in his first public utterance as ambassador, went to elaborate pains to explain why naval experts should be left out of future conferences of naval reductions and why statesmen should take the initiative in such moves. The naval man. he said, rightfully is trained to make his country secure against attack and. other things being equal, anything less than a superior navy is abhorrent to him. “It is the duty of the statesman to remove his state from the danger of attack,” Dawes told the Pilgrims Society, which had as guests numerous members of the British admiralty and the ambassadors from France, Germany, Belgium, Brazil and Japan.

STATE LIQUOR SELLING PLAN FACESDEFEAT Wisconsin Dream Could Not Go in Effect for Five Years. OPPOSED BY MAJORITY Dry Officials Say Supreme Court Already Has Ruled Against Proposal. BY WILLARD R. SMITH U'nftrd Pr-ss Staff Correspondent MADISON. Wis.. June 19.—Those who have dreamed with State Senator Barnhard Gettleman of a wet utopia in Wisconsin will have to wait at least five years to see that dream lulfilled. legislative experts declared today. Even, if favorable action is taken by the present legislature and that appears improbable, it will be at least 1934 before the sMte Constitution can be amended and a court battle won in the Milwaukee solon’s plan to put the state in the liquor business, even Gettleman admitted. Amendment Introduced Gettleman Tuesday introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to permit the commonwealth to manufacture, transport and sell intoxicating liquors. His proposal was based on the theory of J. Gilbert Hargrove, former president of the Milwaukee Bar Association, that the eighteenth amendment does not ourb the right of states to traffic in liquor. Wet leaders could count on securing only an even dozen votes for the proposition. The remainder of the thirty-three senators had indicated they would vote "no.” Hope for Converts Gettleman s supporters, however, predicted that if Hargrove, an outstanding constitutional lawyer, would appear before senate committee hearings, he would win a number of converts to his theory. Gettleman thinks the Anti-Saloon League should favor his plan in that it would eliminate possibility of saloons. He urges state-operated distilleries and breweries with a "delivery-to-vour-door” system under state supervision.

Bu United Press PARIS, June 19.—Premier Raymond Poincare and President Gaston Doumergue today paid honor to the daring of Jean Assclant.

Fred W. Connell, safety board president, said the board agreed to renewal of the contract provided the ci*v gets 5 per cent of the inspection fees. Last year's contract allowed the city 15 per cent of fees but the inspection bureau requested the entire amount this year to make up a $4,600 deficit tire past two years. The inspection bureau sought a “blanket contract’’ for all the fees, agreeing to pay the city any balance at the end of the year. “So far they have not accepted our offer. I think the contract should specify a certain amount as the city's share," Connell said.

Boys Bring Speeding Train Jo Quick Stop CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., June 19 —Sewell Tague, 15. and Richard Baker. 12. are held here as the result of an act which luthorities charge might have resulted in wrecking a ninety-two-car freight train, drawn by two locomotives. The boys said they hitch-hiked to Waveland and boarded the train for the return trip. As the train entered Crawfordsville it did not slow down, so they pulled a rod setting the air brakes on a car. The train stopped within a short distance and the boys fled, but were taken into custody only a few blocks distant. Trainmen said they were at a loss to explain how a serious wreck was avoided, due to such quick application of the brakes with the train traveling at a high speed. They had to test brakes on the ninety-two cars before they found the one on which the boys pulled the rod.

doctors are baffled BY MYSTERIOUS POISON THAT KILLS 3 CHILDREN

Fight to Save Two Surviving Youngsters; Mother Is Stricken, By United Press CHICAGO, June 19.—The mysterious slow-acting poison, which has brought death to three children of Mrs. Edwin Markowski and left two others critically ill. still puzzled health authorities today. Physicians, fighting to save the lives of the surviving youngsters, were handicapped by their inability to diagnose the nature of the powerful potion. Ralph W. Webster, coroner’s chemist, has worked day and night to determine its nature, in the hope an antidote might be found. First the doctors believed the symptoms were those of arsenic poisoning. Then, owing to the slowness with which death came to Chester Kwiatkowski, 7, and his sister Agnes, 8, children of Mrs. Markowski by a former marriage, and their half sister, Lorraine Markowski, 3, the physicians concluded they were, confronted with mercury xases. A post-mortem examination over the bodies of Chester and Agnes unset both theories. With Lorraine’s death Tuesday night, internes and nurses in Cook

County hospital concentrated their efforts on saving Lorraine's baby sister Doris. 17 months old, and their half brother Richard Kwiatwoski, 6. They held little hope for Richard’s recovery. The boy still is in a comatose condition. Loris’ chances seemed brighter. The mother, too. has been stricken. She showed first signs of the prison’s effect while she and her husband were undergoing mental tests in the psychopathic hospital, after police had questioned both in connection with the children’s illness and deaths. The five children were taken ill Wednesday while the mother was at work in an envelope factory. An aunt said they had eaten peanuts a stranger had given them.

Snook, deposed professor of veterinary medicine, who has admitted he occupied a north side “love nest’ with die girl. The strongest link in the alibi of Snook apparently had been broken today.

She was downstairs awhile and came into the dining-room where I had some old clothes out." Snook said he went to his office in the Veterinary Medicine building about 7:30 or 8 p. m. He typed a letter, finished one magazine article and nearly completed a, second. The articles were prepared for Hunter, Trader and Trapper, to which Snook contributed occasionally. Leaving the office at 8:40 the doctor arrived at Scioto Country Club before 9 p. m., he said. There he claims to have seen two or three persons, obtained his shooting glasses, and started back. “Arriving home, I fixed the usual bite to eat. read the paper, looked up some old clothes and got ready to go to the farm,” Snook said . By the farm he meant his parents’ home in Lebanon. “I went to bed before 10:30 or 11 p. m.,” he told reporters. Denies Girl Used Drugs Dr. Snook did not comment bn recently discovered evidence indicating that he was peddling drugs. “Miss Hix certainly did not use drugs,” he insisted. Questioned about liquor, he declared that he and Miss Hix had never used liquor together. “This was not a damn fool love affair; she was a good companion,” he said. At the beginning of the interview he stated that they had intended to “go on as before,” during this summer. Later he said they had mutually decided to break off the affair.
