Washington, Nov. 25. Great Britain will without doubt whale heartedly approve the suggestion made in the highest American quarters today for not only bringing more nations within the scope of the arms conference, but will support the idea of calling meetings of these Powers at intervals to try to achieve and maintain world peace. Sir Robert Borden, almost at the outset of the conference, made the suggestion that at any date there should be a meeting of the repre-senatives of the powers rfow as sembled in Washington to review what had been done toward carrying out the proposals agreed to here and to consider the advisability of asking more nations to associate themselves with the nations DR.

25. President Warren G. Harding's association of nations was cast on the screen of the Washington conference today. numerable complications aro confront-. ing the Arms Conference.

The Anglo-Franco discord is becoming acute over land disarmament, with a side-line extending to (lie sub marines. Italy is in flio row against France. China has made herself temporarily unpopular by threatening to (juU tile conference because of an exposition of British purposes about ths consortium and a Inch of enthusiasm for the speedy control of the Chinese customs by Chinese. Japan has shown no sign of yielding on the capital ship limitation, and there are a host of other controversies blazing or smoldering that seemed to envelop the conference in a fog of pessimism. White House Move Launched.

Then comes a statement with the White House stamp, giving on the highest authority the declaration that not only Is there every reason to be satisfied with the progress of the conference and forecasting a definite and satisfactory agreement, but carrying with it the flat declaration that thi great agreement is to be only a step toward other meetings ot the Power, and so the association of nations is born. European fogs and Oriental hazes do not seem so thick since that information was vouchsafed, and tonight everybody is getting back to cheerfulness after a day of gloom. The association of nations has actually come out of the vague regions of Republican campaign oratory, for Mr. Harding has discussed it with some of the accredited representatives of the great Powers and they have informally and personally approved the idea, at least to the extent of favoring further meetings to bring the world into concord. League's Fate In Doubt.

It has not yet gone to the extent of deciding what is to become of the existing League of Nations, but the Washington idea contemplates tho demise of the league leaving tho association as the residuary legatee. That is the view taken of the development in the Senate, and it is cauB-ing a lot of speculation among the "irreconcilables" who wonder how nearly intact their old order will remain when the proposition cornea to them if it does come to them. There is reason for the belief that no treaty is contemplated; at least not for a long time. The theory la that tho representatives of the Governments can come together, as they have come for the arms conference, and make an agreement that will morally bind the nations without the necessity of signing a hard and faat compact, and Incidentally precipitated) in a battle in all the world's parliaments. Eclipses Curzon Speech.

The disclosure of this stupendous plan hai eclipsed for the time being Lord Curzon's warning to France "that it is no use reducing armamcnta at sea if we are still piling up an accumulation of armaments on land," which is interpreted to mean that unless Franco comes into line with the prevailing sentiment for the reduction ot war establishments she is going to risk finding herself in tho very "moral isolation" that was tho burden of Premier Aristide Briand's recent speech. The conference crowd has even ceased talking of Senator Carlo Schanzer's declaration at Wednesday' session of the committee in which ho said for Italy, that tho question ot land disarmament could not be smothered according to the French desires, else the purposes of the conference would dissolve into smoke. Out of lhat mixup and the acceptance of our capital ship programme has come an identity of interest between the United States and England, which is expected to bring Japan Into line speedily all of which is taken to help along the ultimate thought ot the nations in association to settle the world's problems far beyond any mere matter ot arms limitation. How Harding Has Planned. This is how the development of the new International society is planned: An agreement on limiting the military forces of ail the nations represented will be reached.

Police Captain, Owner of Stolen Auto, Is Exonerated By Board of Safety.

James X. Cunningham, suspended police Captain of the Sixth District, still is a member ot the Louisville police department. He was exonerated on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer, vio lating rules and regulations of the department and conduct subversive to good order and discipline of the department at a trial before the Board of Public yesterday. The charges were docketed following the discovery that Mr. Cunningham had been the owner ot a stolen automobile on which numbers had been mutilated.

He had been under suspension since August. He was acquitted Wednesday in a trial in the Criminal Court of charges of having knowingly received a stolen car. Status Not Determined. Following the trial the board issued a statement in which it was said the status of the officer in the police department had not been determined, but would be settled definitely when he reports for an assignment today or Monday. The board, according to Paul Burlingame, chairman, was unanimous in its verdict.

Mr. Cunningham did not deny that the car was stolen, but said it had been painted black and otherwise changed when he purchased it from Charles Harrison, a race track follower. Sam Friend, the owner ot the car, was present, but did not testify. Mrs. Nellie Arvin, owner of a restaurant at Fourth Street and Central Avenue, told of visits of Harrison to her dining-room during race meetings.

She recalled that Harrison drove the oar in question and that she afterward had seen it in the police Captain's possession. Car Offered Trainer. Lou Tauber, horse trainer, told of Harrison having offered the car for sale. Tauber said Harrison was in financial straits and wished him to lend money on the automobile. Tauber also said he heard Mr.

Cunningham tell Harrison to meet him at Mr. Cunningham's home. Tauber said that he had seen Harrison at other race tracks. L. W.

Maryman, chauffeur of the Sixth, District, witnessed the sale, he said. Mr. Cunningham paid the stranger in Liberty bonds on the sidewalk before Mr. Cunningham's home. It was stipulated, the chauffeur said, that Harrison could repurchase the automobile for $S0O following the New Orleans race meeting.

Henry Harris, inspector of fire prevention and rates, also testified that Mr. Cunningham had discussed the sale of a car at the race track with a stranger in his presence. Considered Deal As Loan. Mr. Burlingame asked one question when Mr.

Cunninirham testified: "Captain, did you consider the deal in the nature of a loan?" "I certainly did," he answered, "for I didn't use the car much until I saw Harrison here in the spring, when I told him I didn't think the car was worth what I had lent him and wanted my back. I thought I was bunked. Then I had the car repaired at a cost of $200 or $300, finally selling it to Edward Gutgsell for $500." This mnnev was returned to Mr. Gutgsell when Detective A. J.

GROWS MORE INVOLVED Two More Questions Are Added to Those Which Still Remain Unanswered. By CHARLES MERZ. Special to The Courier-Journal. Washington, Nov. 25.

There is one! message that ought to go out from Washington tonight, and that Is a warning against taking too serious, ly any progress that Is being made toward an adjustment of affairs of China. America still Is on the fringes of the "Chinese problem," here In Washington. To be sure. It may never get heyond the fringes, but thtere Is no use pretending it Is ny This warning applies to what happened today in the Committee on Pacific and Far Eastern questions. The committee met at 11 o'clock this morning.

It discussed the question of "extraterritoriality" jn China and, after hearing a statement on the subject from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in China, appointed a subcommittee to investigate the question. It then proceeded to discuss the subject ot foreign postofflces in China, and listened to a long statement of China's objections to those postofflces, coming from Dr. Alfred Sze. Chinese Minister to the United States. Two More Questions Added.

Two more questions of the Far East were thus added to the list of specific political and economic problems on which the conference is now at work. The list now numbers three: These questions raised today, and the questions of China's tariffs which was raised earlier In the week and Into which a different subcommittee Is now investigating. As has been pointed out in these dispatches, It is specific problems rather than broad "general principles" which count, in any effort to reach a genuine settlement In the Hast. Three such problems have now Come to the conference. They are real problems and their introduction means real progress.

Nevertheless it is necessary to note that they are miles away from the center ot China's present difficulties. Tariffs Are Exaggerated. The question of tariffs, for instance, nas been exaggerated out ot all importance. It is entirely true that China stands in great need of revenue. It needs such revenue to found a stable Government.

But only the ingenue supposes that an increase of tariffs will, of its own weight, solve China's financial difficulties. For with the present rottenness of administration in China to supply twice as large an income will fortunately mean twice as largo a waste. China herself is not altogether to blame for that. A country subject to foreign intrigue and foreign aggression for a scorj of years has no easy task in creating and preserving an honest and efficient administrative system. Again, doubling China's income, will, unless other steps are taken, simply mean doubling the handsome profits which certain foreign concession soldiers reap in China.

One Case of Graft. Take for a single instance the case of the Shanghai-Nanking Railway. China is bound by coptract to buy from England alone, and through one private British agency alone, every scrap of material and supplies needed for that railway even though she could buy precisely the same thing in Japan or France or the United States at half the price. And this is not an isolated instance. There are a hundred cases of the same sort.

Some foreigners will be hit by an increased tariff. Other foreigneis simply will reap a larger profit. For it is a safe guess that when China is helplessly bound by a monopolistic contract, the foreigner will charge all that the traffic will bear. One 'Pollyanna" Section. This situation has been pointed out in dispatches to The Courier-Journal, yet there is Pollyanna section of the press and public which hails the possibility of tariff increases as a sure panacea for China's ills, and which (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.) ery' of his principal speech in the plenary session of the conference, in which he declared British acceptance in principle of the Hughes proposal for limitation of naval armaments.

One hundred and fifty-three years from now, or In the year 2074, health conditions in this country will be so good that the average person will live 100 years according to several Red Cross statistical experts. These statisticians based their 100 years idea on what they called past passing out performances. For instance in 1910 in New York persons died at an average age of 35 and in 1920 they shuffled along into the next world at an average age of 39.

FOR KILLING MAN Coroner's Jury Calls Slaying By Dry Agents In Nelson County Special to The Courier-Journal. Bardstown, Nov. 25. Federal prohibition officers from Louisville were not justified in killing Marion Smith, reputed bootlegger, according to the verdict of the jury at the Coroner's inquest held here today. Although all of the officers testified that a member of Smith's party fired on the raiders first, the jury held: "We belive from the evidence that the killing was not justifiable." Smith was killed a week ago when the prohibition agents ran across him and two companions during a raid on a Nelson County farm four miles from Bardstown.

Gueltln and Gilliam Fired. Arthur Guelda, former Louisville po lice captain, and N. C. Gilliam were the officers who fired, the testimony showed. Whose bullets killed Smith was not determined at the inquest.

Both used rifles. The Federal officers testified that Smith and his companions emerged from a clump of bushes and that one of them, a negro, opened fire which Guelda and Gilliam returned. Smith fell dead The negro. George Robin son, escaped. Tom Brent, alleged moonshiner, was captured.

The offi cers also said they found part of a still and two furnaces, recently used, near the scene of the killing. Robinson, who appeared at the inquest, denied that he shot at the offi cers. His testimony was corroborateu by Brent. They said they had been on a trip to a farm owned by Brent's brother and were 'returning to Bards town.

British opinion sees In the Washington conference something only complimentary to the League of Nations, and not in any way something which affects the status of the League. If it is the American intention to try gradually to bring about the much mooted association of nations with the intention of supplanting the League, it probably would be found that British opinion would regard membership in the League as in no way affected by membership In the association of aimed to control armaments and prevent wars.

FOREIGNERS ARE PUZZLED By ULRIC BELL. The Courier-Journal Washington Bureau. Washington, Nov. 25. France, with Premier Aristide Briand off to face the political music at home, and Rene Viviani here as the only buffer, was thrust strikingly into a position of isolation from international accord on disarmament hopes by develop mcnts of the conference today.

These developments reflected the complex snarl which affairs have reached, and which brought vague proposals for disentangling them. First came news of Lord Curzon's statement in London that France's "isolated and individualistic" position would defeat her own expressed purposes. Then came the White House pro nouncement regarding nn association of nations, vague as to how the other Powers would find it more attractive than the existing League of Nations, but pertinent in that it proposed to bring Germany into the conference What France Favors. M. Briand and I.

Viviani's thesis has been that there should be an in ternational concert for Pacific and other affairs in which the United States woujt participate, and the ex isting League of Nations to handle European affairs. In view ot France's claim that nothing could be achieved toward land dis armament because other military na tions of Europe, including Germany, are not on the ground, this brought a new complication for the French to meet. Following the news from the White House, came the word from Italian circles that Italy will adhere to her view that the curtailment of land forces should be a definite objective of the conference. The Chinese were quick to deny that they Intended to withdraw from the conference because they feared further international encroachments in the Orient as a result of the confer ence. Nations Scurry to Cover.

A concerted movement was discern ible tonight so far as the utterances of the various delegates were concerned, to get the conference back on the path of achievement, though' a definite formula for overcoming, fundamental differences of opinion was lacking. It was evident in all quarters that the menace held by the failure of th conference is appreciated by all of the nations and that they do not want the unrestricted competition in armaments which is threatened plainly by such a failure. Plans already have been discussed for invitations to other Powers to attend for the purpose of ratifying the- measures which will have been de cided on with respect to the reduc tion of navies; the use of aircraft and poison gas and the rules for the con duct of warfare on land. Now it is known to be the Adminis tration plan that Germany and the smaller nations whose military strength is a matter of concern to the peace of the world would be asked to come here prior to the adjournment of the conference. Their Position Unknown.

Just how far they would be asked to act on land disarmament, or whether the actual limitation of armies is a definite American determination are questions not answered by today's developments. Mr. Harding's intentions in the direction of an association of nations are described only by the expression of a desire for a permanent international conference and a larger under standing the nations.

S. Forces, He Has Power to Tie Up Ships to Force Navy Cut. Special to The Courier-Journal. Washington, Nov. 25.

As commander-in-chief of the Army and the Navy, the President has the authority to tie every ship in the navy up to docks and leave them there. This was significantly pointed out in official quarters today in a discussion of the possibility of Congress refusing to ratify a programme of naval delimitation if on by the delegates to the arms conference. Congress' Ratification Seen. Administration ojlicials, however, hastened to assert that any reduction Secretary Charles Evans Hughes, as chairman of the American delegation, might agree to on behalf of the United States would be submitted to Congress for ratification and the belief expressed there would be no hesitancy on the part of Congress in accepting the proposal. In this connection it was intimated that the Administration already has received assurances that no serious ob jection to any reduction of the Ameri can Navy within the limits required for national defense, either in ships already built or for future construe tion work, which the American delegation might agree to, would be raised by the legislative branch of the Government.

End Sought By Congress. The fact that the President has the power to tie up every ship in the Navy to docks and leave them there was not suggested as an ultimatum to Congress or a declaration that any delimitation agreed on would be put into effect regardless ot Congressional pleasure, it was asserted, but merely in pointing out what authority the President would have. In asserting that the Administration does not believe Congress will hesitate to ratify an agreement ot naval limitation, officials pointed out that for the last two sessions both the House and Senate have tried in every way possible to reduce naval expenditures und a reduction ot ships, built and to be built, is the most certain means to this end.

World-famed Surgeon Treats 125 In 5 Hours, Whila Throng Waits on Crutches. MAY STAY IN AMERICA New York, 25 (Associated Press). Misery so poignant and so widespread greeted Dr. Adolph Lorenz. famous Austrian orthopedic surgeon, on the steps and in the halls of the Hospital for Joint Diseases today, that he said he had almost decided to de vote the remainder of his days to alleviating the sufferings of America's cripples.

Dr. Lorenz said at the end of his first "gratitude" clinic that never in all his career had he been so affected as at the sight of hundreds of maimed, distorted humans, clamoring for his aid. And never, he added, had he seen a land so sorely in need of relief from spinal and other troubles superinduced by infantile paralysis. His observations so far, he declared, led him to believe that there were "ten or fifteen times as many" such sufferers in the United States as in any-other country in the world. He was appalled, he said, at what he had found since cominc back to America, this time to try to repay some part of America's bounty to starving Austrian children.

Endowed Hospital Is Offered. Whether ho will accept a twenty-room hospital in Brooklyn, which M. G. Collins, an oil man, has offered to equip and to endow with the proceeds a $900,000 fund, or will accept ah invitation to become consulting surgeon at the Hospital for Joint Diseases, is yet to be decided, according to Dr. Lorenz's assistant, Dr.

C. Wey-mnn. The question of when he will make a proposed tour of other cities also is undetermined. So many cripples are clamoring for his aid here that Dr. Lorenz is unwilling to leave, Dr.

Wey-man said. That it will be impossible for the' noted surgeon to give more than a fleeting examination to many of his patients was empasized at today's clinic. Examined 125 Cripples. After working like mad for more than five hours. Dr.

Lorenz had seen 12o cripples scarcely one-tenth ot the supplicants for aid who crowded the hospital and the streets outside, coming on crutches, in wheel chairs, and in automobiles. During those busy five hours, ht-said afterward, he had advised enough operations to keep one surgeon busy for six months. Police reserves had to be called to handle the eager, hopeful crowds outside, while nurses and internes were kept busy within, maintaining some semblance of order among those who had gained admittance. Crowd Surged Toward Doctor. Every time that Dr.

Lorenz appear ed in the corridors, darting from' one room to another where more patients had been disposed for him, there was a clatter of crutches and canes on the marble floor as the eager crowd surg ed forward in piteous efforts to at tract his attention.

Lonr after he had torn himself away to rush to Morris Plains, N. for a lecture and clinical demonstration at the New Jersey State Hos oital. wistful-eyed men and women on crutches and others carrying crip- nled children lingered in the street outside, hoping against hope that the doctor would come DacK.
