Vhat are the Results of the Two Weeks Parley Now? (BT GEORGE R. HOLMES) iTIcT?.00NDENT SERVICE WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. For the first tint since the statesmen of the world began their labors hero two weeks ago. a distinct atmosphere of pessimism hunt; over the Washington conference when It resumed Its work today after the Thanksgiving recess. The first flush of enthU9lams and general optimism that followed the starting presentation of the American naval program has been dispelled by the controversial factors that have arisen as the Powers got down to the hard task of translating- words Into action. The pesslmlstlo outlook Is shared by many observers In Washington and by not A few of the delegates themselves. ACTION COSTS MORE A member of the American delegation summed up the situation privately to a friend: "It is easy to be generous with words, but with action It is a horse of a different color." Briefly, the results of the two weeks efforts are these: Armament: The Powers have agreed la "principle" to the vast scrapping and future building program laid down bySecretary Hughes, but England and Japan are still quibbling over the details. Japan wants more gross tonnage than allowed by the American program; England wants more cruisers and the abolition of submarines. It has been agreed that the conference will take no action with respect to limiting the standing armies of Europe. Far Eastern Affairs: All of the Powers have expressed sympathy with China's aims and have adopted four general principles to apply to China. They are so vaguely phrased that they are, being Interpreted differently by each o! the Powers. A sub-committee of nine has been appointed to examine China's tariff schedule and It is virtually certain she will be allowed to raise her duties from five per cent. to 12 1-2 per cent. So far as the naval program Is concerned, there Is little pessimism. Ultimately, it Is bolleved that the terms as laid down by Secretary of State Hughes will be submitted ln substantially the same form as they are. On this point the Americana attitude Is adamant. The Impression has been definitely conveyed to both Great Britain and Japan that the program proposed by America hits America harder than it does either Japan or Great Britain and that It Is up to them to either accept it or reject It. It is the far eastern part of the conference that the deepest pessimism prevails. The Chinese hopes are being dashed against the rocks by the interpretations that British and Japanese spokesman are putting on the Root proposals. The committees on Far Eastern Affairs met again today In secret. The Question of tariffs has been disposed of for the moment by referring it to a subcommittee under the chairmanship of 'Oscar Underwood. Today it was planned to delve straight into the controversial matter of extra-territorial rights, under which foreign governments for years have maintained their own courts and police functions In China. TALBOT FOUND GUILTY Head of Owls Convicted in Federal Court; Jury Deliberated an Hour. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Nov. 25. 1921. John W.

TTr.T a tPEI,aJ- T0 TH TIMES HOBART. Ind. Nov. 25. After winning the Job of clerk-treasurer In Hobart's first election under the city form of government. Mrs. Edith Schroeder. has discovered that the salary is not as great as sho had supposed It would be. She has tendered her

J resignation. Under the town government, the offices of clerk and treasurer were separate and Mrs. Schroeder had gained the impression that in comblning'them the city would also combine the salaries. It was figured that the clerktreasurer would receive about $100 per month. Since wining the office the question has been brought up by the vity council. The aldermen hold that the law will not permit them to pay $600 a year which Is only one-half of what Mrs. Schroeder was expecting. They say no provision Is made for a larger salary because of the two offices being merged. It will be up to the city council to appoint a new clerk-treasurer and material is not plentiful since the salary has been made public. Until other arrangements can be made the clerk and treasurer under the old town government. D. Melin, and II. Halsted, will fill the offices. it Splendid Charity Ball Held For Benefit of City's Relief Fund. West Hammond which seems to have Just a little more community unlrit than any other city of the Calumet region is row nicely fixed for carrying out us relief work among needy families this winter. The first charity ball "Wednesday evening was a grand success- so successful In fact, that It is believed the Charity Board has sufficient funds to carry through the winter without further efforts at raising money. The exact amount realized from the dance at Kosciuszko Hall will not be known until Monday evening when the committee in charge holds its meeting to check over the receipts. Chief of Tolice Joe Nitz easily outdid all of the ticket sellers. He had promised to turn in $600 Wednesday night. Instead he managed to boost his total to $800. This does not represent tickets alone but many larger donations which he was able to talk out of his friends. It is assured that the charity fund will have at least $1,000 In It. Already large accumulations of second-hand clothing, most of it In excellent condition, have been received at the police station and city hall for distribution among needy families. It Is not expected that West Hammond will have as many cases of want as other cities of the region. The people of the Illinois town are noted for their thrift. They are in the great majority, home owners and the possessors of bank accounts. It is believed that $1,000 and such clothing as is donated will meet all requirements. The charity ball Wednesday night brought out a large crowd In spite of the fact that ... was the night before Thanksgiving and folks are generally pretty bsy at home and in the places of business. The grand march was led by John' Jaranowski, highway commissioner, and Mrs. John C. Kowalskl, thw wife of the police magistrate. SAYS RAILROADS WON'T BE BLUFFED F 1 -iT ft? Thomas De Witt Cuyler. That the unions cannot bluff the railroads into keeping up wages by strike threats is the statement of Thomas De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Executives. He asserts that application will be made immediately to the United States labor board for a reduction in the wages of train service employes sufficient to remove the remainder of the increases made by the labor board's decision of July 20, 1920 (approximately 10 per cent).

Diphtheria: Evelinnq Pascell 218 Sibley street. This brings the total number of contagious diseases reported to Dr. Buchanan during the recent recurrence of those maladies to 21. School records show a minimum of 35 cases in the city. This means that there are at the lowest 14 cases of which the boarn of health knows nothing. TTut means those homes are not quarantined. EVERT ONE OF THOSE HOMES NOT QUARANTINED REMAINS A DANGEROUS SOURCE AND INCUBATOR OF DISEASE, MENACING EVERT PERSON IN HAMMOND. OFFICIALS ADMIT SCARLET FEVER AND DIPHTHERIA ARE INCREASING. MA TOT? FROWN'. WHAT ARE YOU dOING TO DO ABOUT IT1 "No one has tied the' hands of Dr. William A. Buchanan. He Is free to operate his office as he sees fit. If Hammond physicians will not report to him cases of contagious disease to which they are called, !f they will not acquaint the health department of this city about those cases so that proper means of quarantine may bs employed. I'll take a hand In thl business myself. Believe me. It shall g-o tiard with those physicians who repudiate the statutes of this state to shield eoms person or other to the menace of the other persons ln this city. The lawapplies to all." "Without so much as raising an eyebrow. Mayor Brown this morning delivered himself of this ultimatum following an expose of the serious proportions to which the wave of scarlet fever and diphtheria cases In Hammond Is Increasing as published in The Times of Wednesday. He displayed no emotion. But he was In earnest. He will Investigate personally reports that physicians are treating contagious diseases without the formality of quarantining the families of the victims. More than SO calls have reached the office of the mayor and twlc that number have called the board of health telling of homes said to contain one or more victims of scarlet fever or dlphtnerla which have not been quarantined, people come and go from these dwellings. "And," said Dr. Buchanan, "not only Is the Immediate neighborhood exposed to the disease, but the whole city Is threatened." j Officials of the health department were busy today tracing a report that three children in one family on Chicago avenue had contracted diphtheria. The residence has never been quarantined. Two of the children were said to have attended school, while the third was ill and until they too fell victims to the disease. One of the trio is now at the point of death. Another school reports thr eight children have contracted a skin disease that has proved highly Infectious. Physicians are unable to diagnose the malady. The children have been quarantined by school officials! Dr. Buchanan today fumigated two homes on the north side where the quarantine had been lifted. He admits that contagion among school children especially has grown to serious proportions. This situation he blames upon the physicians who have neglected to report to him infectious diseases. Quarantine in many cases has never been made. He tells the symptoms of diphtheria: Sore throat, feverish, chills, headache, loss of appetite, throat covered with gray blotches. Scarlet fever: Chills, fever, strawberry or speckled tongue, rash on body. Treatment: Call a physician. RICH MAN SEEKS SEAT ON JURY MNTER NATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! CKICAOO, Nov. 25 Cyrus M.

BT HARRY L. ROGERS fSTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. Poison gas, denounced during the world war as a barbarous weapon. Is to be defended in the armament conference on the grounds that It affords the most efficient means yet devised of protecting civilization against possible menace of culturally inferior races. It was learned authoritatively today. When the sub-committee appointed by the conference to study the question of poison gas begin its hearings, experts of at least three delegations will present arguments against the buggested limitation of the use of poison gas against combatant forces in time ofwar. It will be pointed out that since scientific knowledge of the P-p.paratlan and use of gas is the peculiar property of tho most hiehlv

It will also be argued that because of the close affinity between certain necessary commercial Industries anl poison gas manufacture, limitation of the development of the science of chemical warfare in praetlcaly impossible, as experiments can be conducted in secret and Industrial plants quickly converted in the event of war.

SAY THEY GOAD LAW VIOLATORS Hammond liquor law violators goaded by activities of federal officers and police are losing lots of sleep trying to dope out new methods of thwarting the officers of the law when they drop into tliflr places of business unexpectedly. It used to be the style to keep liquor In little coffee pots behind the bar. Thus it was handy for pouring Into glass or bottle and could be dumped with comparative ease in an emergency. However, this is too slow. Xow they keep it in wide mouthed glass jars so that a sweep of the hand will Hop it into the sink or rinj-e ater. Frank Skiba, IOCS Columbia avenue tried it Wednesday niB-? when the raiders visited his place. Chief C.us Simons was at Kkiba's side as the glass was dumped into a ba.sin of rinse water. Gun promptly aic-ned un a ouan tity of the, stuff in the lsin at tile point where the moonshine had struck the water. The liquor hadn't had time to circulate so the mixture showed an alcoholic content away above that permitted by law. At Jack Hoy's place, 69 State street, a similar attempt was made to destroy the evidence and again the officers managed to scarpe up enough to make it look bad for Jack. In a cake ran under fhe ice box in Bob Banghart's restaurant, at State st. and Calumet ave., some more liquor was brought to light.
