LEAGUE READY TO FIX DATE OF ARMS PARLEY France-ltalian Experts in New Break Over Naval Parity. BY SAMUEL DASHIEI.L Cnited Frets Staff Corresoondent GENEVA, Sept. 25.—The League of Nations is ready to fix the date for a general disarmament conference, despite the indefinite suspension of Franco-Italian negotiations for an agreement on naval limitations. The league’s preparatory disarmament commission will finish its work at a session beginning Nov. 3, Dr. J. Loudon of Holland, president of the commission, said. The league thus gained in its efforts to clear the disarmament atmosphere for the world conference to be called in October, 1931, but lost by the definite break in the Franco-Italian conferences to settle differences carried over from the London naval conference. It was understood Arthur Henderson, British foreign secretary, would postpone his return to London in the interests of friendly intervention in the Franco-Italian situation. It is presumed Henderson would urge every effort for resumption of the negotiations, to insure the success of the November meeting. Meanwhile, there are arguments within the disarmanent commisison itself regarding the value of the preparatory body’s work. Count Bernstorff of Germany said the preparatory commission has done nothing to hasten disarmament. Lord Cecil of Britain opposed this view, stating that the commisison has “fulfilled its task to a great extent.” Franco-Italian negotiations were halted when France declined to accept the latest Italian offer, which allowed • the French navy a superiority of more than 100,000 tons until 1936, an Italian spokesman said. France Makes Demands B ii United Press ROME, Sept. 25.—French demands to build 50 per cent more ships than Italy up to 1936 caused the break in the Franco-Italian negotiations at Geneva, it was stated in authoritative quarters here today. It was said that while a definite reply from France was awaited on a proposal containing Italy’s maximum concessions, the examination of the Italian formula was abandoned suddenly, and France put forward her new claim. Italian experts could not discuss the proposal and informed their government that as there was no other suggestion from France they could see no possibility of continuing the negotiations, it was stated here.

BERLIN UNIONS ASK FOR SHORTER HOURS Metal Workers Demand Change to Relieve Jobless Crisis. Bu United Press BERLIN, Sept. 25.—An unusual departure from the trade union policy was made today by the Metal Workers union during negotiations for anew wage agreement in the Berlin metallurgical industry. The unions proposed reduction of working hours from forty-eight to/ forty weekly. In the past the union's demands have centered on wage increases. The metal workers, however, announced that if the employers agreed to the demand for reduction of hours instead of increase in wages, they also must agree to reinstate discharged or unemployed workers to make up for the reduction of hours. Such action would mean employment of about 510,000 workers and aid in solving the serious unemployment crisis.

Mrs. Elmy Leer Murdock BY ARCH STEINEL

no place like jail when you hate men.” If Indianapolis ever JL wants to advertise its city jail, it can obtain this testimonial from Mrs. Elmy Leer Murdock, 22, confessed bigamist. Wednesday, Mrs. Murdock was the discontented, fearful wife without wedlock of Frank O’Neal, grocer, 723 East Ohio street. Today she’s a disgusted man-hater, who finds solace in chilly cell bars because love’s left her nothing but a couple of tattoo murks on her arm. * She surrendered herself to police Wednesday night with the admission that she married Orville Murdock on Nov. 15, 1924, at Noblesville, and then, without obtaining a divorce, married O’Neal in Columbus July 5, 1930.

MARY GARDEN ENDS VACATION •Just a Shade’ Over 120 Pounds After Outing. United Press MONTE CARLO, Sept. 25.—Mary Garden ended her vacation here today “just a shade” over 120 pounds —which she attributed to a course of “sea massaging” followed during the summer. Miss Garden will go to Paris after a visit with the Italian composer Alfano at San Remo, and will start back to Chicago and the fall opera season when she has added some new Paris gowns to her wardrobe. Massages in the sea were substituted for bathing ‘“a la natural” when Miss Garden noticed crowds were being attracted to the beach near her villa. The massages were earned out at night, a considerable distance off shore. WEATHER FOOLS TREE Apple Blossoms Arc Reported in Minnesota After Heat Wave. Bn i nited Press ST.

YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE MISSING It’s one thing to say we’ll do a thing—it’s quite another thing to do it. Changing tooth pastes, for example. Many of us see the PEBECO advertisements, believe their simple explanation of Pebeco’s extra value. Many of us hear our friends tell of the real mouth exhilaration and comfort Pebeco gives ... and then we put off buying it. Remember this: You’ll never know what you’re missing until you try Pebeco —and the trial cost! mighty little. Delay no longer.— Advt,

Her thorough disgust with all men came today, when she was told that a married man with whom she was in love had returned to his wife. “T LOVED him. I didn’t love my 1 second husband. Now this man has gone back to his wife. I don’t care what happens. I’d just as leave stay in jail,” she says. Two tattoo designs, one on each arm, placed as initialed tributes to her first marriage, also were a bother today. “They won’t come off,’ ’she said, as she viewed the mementoes of her first matrimonial junket. “And I wouldn’t be in jail now on a bigamy charge if I’d had about $35. I gave a lawyer sls to get a divorce from my first husband, but he wouldn’t get the divorce unless I raised more money. So I married O’Neal without getting a divorce,” she explained. a u “T TRIED to give myself up earlier X Wednesday, but O'Neal stopped me as I started to enter police headquarters. Why did he do it? I guess he loved me. I don’t love any of them now.” Two children, born of her legal marriage, live with her first husband’s parents near Noblesville.

Upton Sinclair ‘Chosen’ by G. O. P. for Governor Bu United Press LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25.—1 t was pretty much of a shock to Upton Sinclair, writer and Socialist, when the secretary of state informed him that he had received the Republican nomination for Governor of California, but he accepted with alacrity. Sinclair was under the impression—and so were all,the voters of the state—that Mayor James Rolph of San Francisco had been the Republican choice. But, lo! The mails brought Sinclair an engraved document signed by the secretary of state, Frank C. Jordan, notifying him officially of his nomination. Obviously it was an error, but Sinclair, who really was the Socialist nominee, kept a straight face as he good naturedly refused to discuss possibility of an error. “This is a surprise to me,” he wrote to Jordan. “I foolishly believed the newspapers and thought that Mayor Rolph won the Republican nomination. But since I have your certificate I suppose there can be no doubt. I expect Mayor Rolph will be as fully surprised. Please see that the man who prints the ballots believes your certificate and not the newspapers.”

ARSON CONFESSION CLAIMED IN PROBE

Washington Man Admits He Fired Courthouse, Says Marshal Hogston. Renewed investigation into the burning of the Washington (Ind.) courthouse three years ago was started today as State Fire Marshal Alfred Hogston announced his 'investigators have obtained a confession from Joe Grove, 25, of Washington, that he was one of the gang that fired the building. Dan Moore and George Coogan, arson investigators, who obtained the alleged confession, today were checking Grove’s story that he and accomplices he has named were offered $2,000 if they would fire the courthouse, to destroy certain records. Because not all the records were destroyed, his crowd was paid but SI,OOO, he is alleged to have related.

That the investigation may involve past officials at Washington was intimated by Rogston. Burning of two homes owned by Harry Billings in Washington, also was believed solved with the arrest of Grove and Billings. Grove alleged Billings offered him SSOO to set one of the homes afire in an insurance collecting plot. Grove went to the house late at night, he said, and found oil-soaked rags he alleged Billings told him would be awaiting use. The arson investigations also are probing rumors that Grove conspired with an insurance man in incendiary fire-plots in which the two shared collections with the insured.

U. S. CONGRESS OF CATHOLICS IS NEARINGCLOSE More Than 85,000 Expected to Watch Final Omaha Ceremony Today. Be United Press OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 25.—The 1939 national Eucharistic congress neared its close today after a succession of solemn and colorful ceremonies witnessed by lay and cleric Catholic delegates from pratically every parish in the United States. Concluding sessions of the congress, the first since 1911, were held in the various cathedrals and churches of the city. The concluding address was to be delivered by the Rt. Rev. Joseph T. Schrembs, Cleveland bishop. More than 85,000 persons were expected to witness the final ceremony —the solemn procession of the most blessed sacrament—in which all visiting clergy were to participate. In response to the intonations of the Very Rev. Michael J. Ripple of New York, the multitude renewed an oath recognizing the divine authority of Christ. Wednesday night, thousands of lighted candles held aloft in the darkness of the stadium lent an eerie touch to the scene. Cardinal George Mundelein of Chicago delivered the Holy Name address. A message from President Hoover expressing “appreciation of the value of spiritual ideals and religious observance” was read.

NEW IDEA SAVES SILK HOSE Did vou ever realize that it Is the oily excretion of the sebaceous glands and rubbing l that keeps you buying silk hose and undergarments so often. This invisible oil film that next-to-the-skin garments absorb is destructive to silks, because it softens and rots the fibre. Soap and water alone will not cleanse it out. Only a solvent like Energine cuts it. Add a tablespoonful of Energine to a ouart of lukewarm soapy water. Wash thoroughly, rinse well. Note the new cleanliness—the pleasing freshness—see how well the original color is revived. And all this with far less rubbing. You’ll be amazed at difference in results from washing in just soap and water, and your silken hose and undergarments will last much longer. And don’t forget that millions use Energine daily for quick removal of dirt and grease spots from suits, hats, dresses, cloves, shoes, etc. Large can Soc. Get Energine today.—Advertisement.

STEWED FRESH FRUIT SHOULD BE IN DIET THE YEAR ’ROUND It is a Pleasing Change From Raw Fruit and Often More Wholesome It is often the tendency to overj indulge in raw fruit. In many cases an upset digestive system can he traced to raw fruit. However, when the fruit is | stewed and sweetened to taste with pure cane sugar, there is less danger of digestive disorders. As far as taste-appeal is concerned, stewed j peaches, apples, berries, plums and pears are most enjoyable when chilled and served for dessert. In view of the fact that pure cane sugar is now at the lowest price it has been in a generation, and since fruit is still abundant, the value of storing away preserves of all kinds for winter use should not be overlooked. Not only is homecanning profitable, but grocers everywhere are offering worth-while bargains in preserved fruits, jellies and jams. Pickles and relishes made of ! cucumbers, green tomatoes and cabbage are also economical to preserve.
