As he pushed his investigation into the case, Warden Waid said he suspected about 12 desperate criminals of conceiving what Prison System Manager Lee Simmons said was "a deep iaid plot." Waid said the tunnel would have provided avenue leading to freedom for many of the approximately 1,000 convicts.

The passage, extending ten feet underground, was concealed at its entrance by four stacks of cord wood. Entry was effected by the use of hydraulic jack to spring the wood apart in the middle of the stack. Crude steps led down to the main tunnel level. In the yard above, about 50 men worked daily, and officials said it would have been possible for several men to have slipped into the passage and worked for a time without their absence being noted. Simmons said "We know who has been doing some of the digging and we expect to get to the bottom of the whole thing soon.

It will take several days, however." By RICHARD G. MASSOCK Associated Press Foreign Staff PARIS, Aug. for war and peace in East Africa were weighed today by Premier Laval of Prance and Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy as they conferred for an hour in the former's office today. Their talk seemed only to deepen the pessimism of officials. Premier Mussolini's right hand man came to the French government head wtth three arguments: 1.

Italy must protect Eritrea and ritalian Somaliland against a wild and dangerous nation (Ethiopia) by disarming it; 2. Italy must expand into colonies as Great Britain and France have done; 3. Italy is starved for raw materials and must develop her own supplies- PAINT PRODUCT jflORHIDt ENAMEL take a lot of punishment.

Its elastic finish ponnding, scuffling feet, and keeps floors bright and scar-free, Per Quart 90c MORRIS McCLENDON Pittsburgh Paints KRUM NEWS Laval Has Answer To these arguments, Laval had the following answer: 1.

War would wreck Europe's long-drawn-out efforts for peace, and, possibly even the League of Nations; 2. War would cost men and money and create hatreds, although Mussolini could attain his desires gradually and peacefully; 3. War would endanger or break the Anglo-Italian control of Europe. Following his meeting with Aloisi, Laval conferred with his ministry experts, who are preparing arguments and suggestions for further development. He gave them not only the Italian suggestions but also the British as presented to him yesterday by Anthony Eden, British minister for League of Nations affairs.

A second conference between Laval and Eden was arranged for the afternoon to clear the ground for the formal opening tomorrow of the conversations among Laval, Aloisi and Eden. The British are calling these tri- power conversations "the last chance" to transform war into peace before the League of Nations council meets Sept. 4 at Geneva. Following his morning conference, Premier Laval said only: had a preliminary talk with Baron Aloisi. Tomorrow morning there will be a meeting of the signatories of the three-power treaty of 1905."

Aug. The ne- gro's place in the proposed new "United Methodist Church" was a major question before church leaders who gathered to complete the groundwork for union The issue was involved in a regional conference set up suggested as a new feature in the United denomination. It promised debate even more lively than the three hour argument that ended with tentative approval yesterday of the United tfethodist Church as the name for Wesley's reunited followers. Negro Methodists would be given a regional conference of their own onder a constitution submitted to a joint commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and the Methodist Protestant Church. This conference, like the five re- ional units into which white communicants would be divided, were proposed as additions to the three general conferences now in existence.

Opposition to separation of the negroes on-the grounds of discrimination was heard among the conferees. Emphatic denial of any attempt to discriminate against the 300,000 negro churchmen was made by Bishop E. D. Mouzon, of Charlotte, N. C.

"We intend to give the negroes more than they ever had before." he said. Official word of the commission's progress yesterday on the constitution submitted to it by a "plans" committee was a brief remark by Bishop Mouzon: are moving along quite harmoniously and we expect to com-, plete our work."
