The fact that the subject "Limitation of Armaments" precedes the subject "Pacific and Far Eastern Questions" does necessarily indicate that the two will be taken up in that order. The conference itself will determine the order in which the discussions are to be pursued, and there may even be additions to the program as the conference gets under way. President Finding, in his invitation to the foreign governments, however, gave the impression, in the opinion of many observers, that Pacific and Far Eastern questions must be disposed of first, when he said: "It is quite clear that there can be no final assurance of the peace of the world In the absence of the desire for peace, nnd the prospect for reduced armaments is not a hopeful one unless this desire llnds expression in practical effort to remove causes of misunderstanding and to seek ground for agreement a.s to principles and their application."

12. A ten-year holiday in naval construction, involving a tremendous scrapping of ships now on the ways or contemplated by the i-'nited States, Great Britain and was proposed to the conference on the limitation of armaments by Secretary Hughes at the opening session today as Ameri proposals Briefly the American proposal is: That there immediately be destroyed by the navies of the three great powers 66 capital fighting ships and a total tonnage of 1,878,043 tons. Within three months after making an agreement, the navies would consist of designated and agreed upon ships as follows: United States, 18; Great Britain, 22; Japan, 10. In tons this would be: United States, Great Britain, Japan, 299,700. Replacements would be limited by, an agreed maximum of capital ship tonnage as follows: United States, 500,000 tons; Great Britain, 600,000 tons; Japan, 300,000 tons.

Subject to the 10 year holiday limitation, capital ships could be replaced when they are twenty years old. No replacement ship would have a tonnage of more than 000. TOTAi tonnage fixed. A total tonnage in cruisers, flotilla leaders and destroyers for each power would be fixed as follows: For the(United States, 450,000 tons; for Great Britain, tons; for Japan," 270,000 tons. The total tonnage of submarines allowed each power would bo as follows: For the United States.

90,000 tons; for Great Britain, 90,000 tons; for Japan, 54,000 tons. The total tonnage of airplane carriers was proposed as follows: For the United States, 80,000 for Great Britain, 80,000 tons; for Japan, 48,000 tons. In each case it would be provided that no government whose present tonnage exceeds the prescribed limit would be required to scrap such excess until replacements have begun. Cruisers 17 years old could be replaced by new construction. Similarly, destroyers, flotilla leaders and submarines could be replaced when 12 years old and airplane carriers when 20 years old.

TO REGULATE MERCHANT CRAFT. Limitation of airplane construction was not outlined in detail in the American proposal, but it was declared in the proposal that since the importance of the merchant marine is a factor in any naval armament program, "regulations must be provided" to govern the conversion of merchant craft for war purposes. Other features of the auxiliary craft reduction program included: Exemption from the terms of the agreement of existing monitors; unarmored surafce craft under 3,000 ships, supply ships, tenders, repair ships, tugs and mine sweepers. No new auxiliary combatant craft could be built, exempt from terms of the agreement, that exceeded 3,000 tons, had a speed of more than 15 knots and carried more than four five-inch guns. Washington, Nov.12.

In woric importance the conference on limitations of armaments, which opened today in "Washington ranks, with the peace conference of Versailles, the conferences for disarmament at the Hague and going farther back the Congress of Vienna which thought it was working to preserve the peace of Europe. The work of the Washington con- ference naturally divides into two principal phases: The limitation of armaments and the settlement of questions in the Far East and the Pacific which statesmen feur may have in them the makings of war. Which will be considered first, the conference alone can determine, but there seems to be little disagreement over a statement that the two questions are indisfiolubly linked, that neither can be disposed of without relation to the other. In the viewpoint of the American government, an agreement on the Pacific and Far Eastern questions will point the way to a solution of the armament question because, with probable causes for war out of the way the need of heavy armaments will disappear. Japan Leans Other Way.

Japan, however, leans to the feeling that the armament question should bo first dsiposed of, and that some of the subjects contained in the program of discussion Far Eastern and Pacific affairs should not come before the conference but rather should be disposed of in negotiations between Royal Oak, Resolution, Ramillies, Is Named Premier Of Japan Today Tokio, Nov. 12. Baron Korekiyo Takahashi, minister of foreign affairs in the Hara cabinet, was named premier today. Baron Takahashi is regarded as conservative, and among the more astute statesmen, of the Nipponese empire. He is an experienced diplomat, familiar with the diplomacy of Washington, Australia and the European nations, and regarded as one of the ablest men of the Far East.

Lawyers for Landru Will Plead Insanity Versailles, Nov. 12. (By the Associated Press). An effort to establish that Henri Landru, the "modern bluebeard," is insane will be made at his trial now in progress in the Assizes court here. Landru Is charged with the murder of 11 persons, 10 of them women, whom he is said to have promised to marry.

This decision was reached after a conference between Landru and his lawyers last night, after which they said they found him in a state of" high tension. "It is my head that is at stake so I will direct my own case," they quoted him as saying. He was under the delusion, they said, that he was the most famous man in the universe and that the eyes of the whole world were upon him. M. Dutreul, of the counsel, told the correspondent this morning that in view of his condition Landru would be allowed to say what he wished but that his lawyers would seek to have him adjudged Lena Clarke Trial To Begin Nov.

22 Orlando, Nov. 12. Trial of Lena Clarke, former postmistress at West Palm Beach, and Baxter Pattreson, chauffeur, under indictment charged with the murder of Fred A. Miltimore here last August, was set today to begin November 22. Both pleaded not guilty when arraigned today in circuit court.

in. Washington, Nov. 12. concrete proposal or limitation of naval arma- nents the crux of the arms conference wa presented to- flay by Secretary Hughes at Ithe very opening of the first session. Briefly it is as follows 1.

That all capital ships ilding program, either tual or projected, should be ndoned. '2. That further reduction ould be made through the apping of certain older yps. '3. That general, regard uld be given to the exist- it naval strenertn ot tne fvvers concerned.

'4. That the capital ship 'mage should be used as the iasurements of strength for and a proportionate al liance of auxiliary combat- it craft 'For the United States the pro- am -would scrap all capital ships construction, 15 In number, ana of the older battleships. Great ltain would stop construction on four new ships of the type ana 'rap all her second and first line kttleshlps up to the King George class. Japan would abandon plans for vo battleships and four battle rulsers not yet laid down and in Jdltlon would scrap three capital Ihips and four battle cruisers in Irocess of construction and all 10 If the pre-deradnaughts and battleships of the second line. Replacement Program.

As a replacement program tne American government proposed that no more ships be laid down for the next 10 years and that a maximum replacement tonnage figure be fixed providing eventually for 600,000 tons for the United 5tates, 500,000 tons for Great Britain and 300,000 tons for Japan. A proviso also would be Included permitting replacement of capital ships when they were zv years oia and prohibiting construction of any ship built in replacement with a tonnage of more than 35,000 tons. Fresh with memories of the soldier dead, the conference on the limitation of armaments met in its first session today to seek the rule "under which reason ana righteousness shall prevail." In the Memorial hall of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the statesmen and diplomats of five great powers and the representatives of four more gathered about the table to organize the way through which they hops to remove causes which might lead to war and then as a consequence remove the economic burden ar.u waste the world suffers in preparation. Although the. hour for the first session was set for 10:30 o'clock the notablos began arriving soon after 10 to hear the opening address of President Harding and to form their permanent organization With Secretary Hughes as president of the conference.

Many Notables. The galleries allotted representatives of official and diplomatic life the world over contained many notable figures of present day history. In the center of the big room was the conference table, shaped as a square the top covered with bright green baUe. A gray desk blotter with a tray of pens and an Inkwell lay before the chairman's place for each delegation. The American delegation had chairs across the neck end with the French on their right and the British on their left.

To tho rluht of the French were the places allotted to the Japanese, while the Italians had a corresponding position directly across. At the foot of the and nt smaller ones were Portuguese, Belgians. Dutch and Chinese. Advisors had chairs of gold and velour directly back of tbelr delegation. Behind the American section were draped the tings of the nine nations Senator Ixidito was the of the American delegation to arrive.

He walked about the room meeting members of the American advisory cciinmllti much as he talked with colleagues In ths senate. There ii xi'r! fieri ri of gold lace in tbi- galleries. As the Fit lu ll deli-gains reached the main entrance there Was something of a J.un. Premier Hriand. edging his way through, dropped Continued on page Three.) Japan and the countries concern- ed.

No one can forecast how that part of the program will be work-v ed out. And upon how" it ed out depends much of what will come of the conference. The American viewpoint, as it had been expressed by those with, authority to speak for the government, is that the United States enters the conference asking absolutely nothing for itself and seeking only to relieve a tax-burdened world, now making a great economic waste in fear of war. Tho American government, it should bo said, denies no nation its "place in the sun," or its opportunity for expansion; neither does it have any notion of asking any nation to dispense with the means by which it assures its reasonable safety. It seeks only, it may be said by the same authority, to remove troubles, which' although now little might in the future gro-r great, and by doing that make heuvj preparations for war Having done that, if it can he accomplished, America hopes to point the way to a reduction of armaments which will be fair and Just to all.

Limitation Not Disarmament. When the call for the conference was issued, it was followed by a wave of public feeling that com Washington, Nov. 12. While' the armament conference will. decide upon its program of subjects to be considered, here follows the official agenda, which previously has been suggested by the United States, and which will be offered as a working program on behalf of America, at the opening sessions: Limitation of Armament.

One. Limitation of naval armament, under which shall be dis cussed: (a) Basis of limitation. (b) Extent. (c) Fulfillment. Two.

Rules for epntrol of new agencies of warfare. Three. Limitation of land armament. Far Eastern Questions. One.

(d) Concessions, monopolies or preferential economic privileges. (e) Development of railways, including plans relating to Chinese Eastern railway. (f) Preferential railroad rates. (g) Status of existing commitments. Two.

Electrical communications in the Pacific. Status of Commitments. "Under the heading of 'Status of Existing Commitments' it Is expected that opportunity will be afforded to consider and to reach an understanding with respect to unsettled questions involving the nature and scope of commitments under w-hich claims of rights may hereafter be asserted." CAPTAIN AND CREW APPEAR AND GIVE BOND Captured Schooner quor Cargo. A preliminary bond of $3,500 for Capt Robert 'Burns $2,000 bonds for each of the four members of the crew of the schooner C. C.

No. V-189, captured with a ship load of liquor Thursday by Tampa officers in the Gulf, were set Saturday morning by United States Commissioner J. W. Cone. The men will be given a hearing before the commissioner Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.

The captain and crew put under preliminary bond were Captain Robert Burns, of New Orleans; Michael of Mobile: J. M. Tallon and son, William of Mobile, and Gathon Scott, negro engineer. Cargo of $30,000. Persons on the street Friday morning -watched two big trucks run from Hillsborough docks to the custom house vaults, unaware that the great loads of sacks and doxcs comprised the greatest liquor haul made in Tampa since the eighteenth amendment was enacted.

On the trucks were the spoils from the schooner raided 20 miles out in the gulf. Tne confiscation consisted of 435 packages and 50 cases of whisky and gin, 3,210 quarts in all, valued at $30,000. The lienor was taken off tho schooner after it nan been brought into Tampa by J. U. Cooper and Louis Salsbury, deputy customs collectors, and Steve Kissinger nnd W.

M. Moore, prohibition agents. The liquor was placed in the cus-toma house vaults, under the supervision of Prohibition Director A. L. Allen and Customs Collector M.

14. Macfarlane. Sighted nt Sea. The. schooner was sighted at sea by the Tampa officers as they were bound for Tarpon Springs in a motor boat.

The launch was short o' gasoline, but started on the chase nevertheless. The schooner sighted the launch and hoisted all sali for a flight into the gulf. On overtaken the crew made no show of resistance. The schooner was completely filled with the llqur containers Th bottles were care'ully packed in sacks so that they might stand rough handling. The liquor, apparently, was packed to run the smuggling gauntlet.

The vessel came out of New Orleans, but it is understood that the liquor was taken from another vessel the Boca Grande coast. Frost Tonight To Hit North Florida Washington, Nov. 12.

Washington, Nov. 12. Gathered with the chosen representatives of tlie nations about him, President Harding today opened the conference on limitation of armaments, pronouncing its keynote in these words the creed, of America in all the deliberations: "Gentlemen of the conference, the United States welcomes you with unselfish bands. We harbor no fears; we have no sordid ends to serve; we suspect no eft-em j-; we contemplate or appi-e-hend no conquest. Content with what we have, we seek nothing which Is anothers.

We only wish to do with you that finer, nobler tiling which no nation can do alone. "We wish to sit with you at the table of international understanding and good will. In good conscience we are eager to meet you frankly and invite and offer co-operation. The world demands a sober contemplation of the existing order and the realization that there can be no cure without sacrifice, not by one of us, out by all of us. "I do not mean surrendered rUrhts, or narrowed freedom, or denied aspirations or ignored national necessities.

Our republic would no more ask for tlese than it would give. Xo pride need le humbled, no nationality submerged, but I would nave a mergence of minds committing 11 1,1 us to icss-prcparation tor- war and more enjoyment oi iur-tunate peace." The text of President Harding's address follows: "It is a great and happy privilege to bid the delegates to this conference a cordial welcome to the capital of the United States of America. It is not only a satisfaction to greet you because wo were-lately participants in a common cause, in which we shared sacrifices and sorrows and triumphs brought our nations more closely together, but it is gratifying to address you as the spokesmen for the nations whose convictions and a'tending actions have so much to do with the weal or woe of all mankind. Over-Praise "Impossible." is not possible to over-appraise the importance of such a conference. It is no unseemly boast, no tispar-agement of other nations which, though not represented, are held in highest respect, to declare that the conclusions of this body will have a signal Influence on all human progress on the fortunes of the world.

"Here is a meeting. I can well believe, which is an earnest of the awakened conscience of (the 20th century civilization. It is not a convention of remorse, nor a session of sorrow. It Is not the conference of victors to define terms of settlement. Nor Is it a council of nations seeking to remake humankind.

It Is rather a coming together, from all parts of the earth, to apply the oetter attributes of mankind to minimize the faults in our international relationships. "Speaking as official sponsor 'or the invitation, I think I may say that the call Is not of the United States of America alone, it is rather the spoken wcrd of a war-wearied world, struggling for restoration, hungering and thirsting for better relationship; of humanity crying for rllef and craing assurances of lasting peace. I-'nny to Understand. "It is easy to understand this world-wide aspiration. The glory of triumph, the rejoining in achievement, the love of liberty, the devotion to country; the pangs of sorrow; the burdens of debt; the desolation of ruin all these are appraised alike In all lands.

Here in the Cnited States we are but ireshly turned from the burial of an Unknown American soldier, when a nation sorrowed while paying him tribute. Whether it was spoken or r.ot a hundred millions of our people Were summarizing the Inexcusable onuses, the Incalculable cost, the unspeakable sacrifices and the unutterable sorrows, and there was the ever-Impelling question: How can humanity justify or God forgive?

Any determinations on limita tions of armament necessarily will come after long preliminary work by committees of experts and others who will probably submit recommendations and extensive data to the whole conference. This will require probably weeks of study and discussion. In order to start the process, and get it under way, the conference might necessarily bring the subject officially before it, and then refer it to committees for work, and then meanwhile go on with the discussion of the Far Eastern and Pacific questions. STILL HOPE FOR PEACE IN IRELAND Ulster's Rejection of Plan Not-Fatal tor Settlement London, Nov.

12. (By the Associated Press). Although one or two newspapers express great disappointment at Ulster's rejection of the Bitrish plan for a settlement of the Irish question hte press, this morning, generally fails to see the situation as more serious or hope for an eventual settlement less bright. It is pointed out that the Ulster-ites rejected tho proposals on the ground that they contained funda-menal principles which were "impossible of attainment" under existing conditions. They had also signified their intention of making counter proposals "which would indicate other and more practical means of securing peace without 'infringing upon rights of Ulster'." Political interests in England centers upon the annual conference of the Unionist party to be held at Liverpool next wek under the chairmanship of Lord Derby.

Political correspondents hinted at a bp Jit of the party, with the formation of an independent conservative party under the leadership of Andrew Bonar Law, former government leader in the house of commons. Much of the situation hinges on Mr. Bonar Law's attitude toward the Irish peace negotiations, in which he is represented as espousing Ulster's cause. An article in the Yorkshire Post, ascribed to Mr. Bonar Law.

urges that the Unionists, by all their pledges in the past, are bound to support Ulster if she refuses to make any more concessions. Mrs. Bryan Objects To Property Taxes Miami, 12.

Regarding the naval armaments of France and Italy, the American proposal says: "In view of certain extraordinary conditions due to the world war affecting the existing strength of the navies of France and Italy; the United States does not consider necessary the discussion at this stage of the proceedings the tonnage allowance of these nations, but proposes it be reserved for the later consideration of the conference." "The total number' of new capital ships to 'be scrapped under this paragraph is seven. The total tonnage of 'these new capital ships when completed would bt 289,100 tons. "(3) Shall scrap all predread naughts and battleships of th second line.

These would include the scrapping of 10 old ships, with i total tonnage of 159,828 tons.

This, however, quickly was corrected, and it was Secretury Hughes who pointed out that the proper designation of the affair was "a conference on limitation of armaments," with emphasis being placed on Die word limitation. Almost immediate'v afterward there were evidences of a considerable pressure of public thought in the direction of complete disarmament on the ground that if the United States were to point the way the remainder of the world would be forced by its public opinion to follow, und swords would be beaten into plowshares. The United States, It may be said on the highest authority, has no thought of proposing a complete disarmament although there are indications that it will lead off with proposals for reduction which may be startling. Organization The first few days of the yesslons are bound to be taken up with official formalities and organization work, including the appointment of committees and the divisions of the conference Into sections and sub-sections which will work on the various questions and report to the full conference for action. The late arrival of Lloyd George, the British premier, may cause some things to be delayed, although work of a preparatory nature upon them can proceed in his absence; and the short stay of Premier Hriand of France may cause some little delay in the necessity of his colleagues consulting him by cable and wireless.
