Committee Meet
ing Today
Main Conference Agrees to
Withdrawal Foreign Post Of
fices and Postal Systems in
China—First Step in Appli
cation of “Your Points”
Washington, Nov. 28—(By A. P.)—
Definite slops toward agreement on
th" principles of Secretary Hughes’
proposals for a naval building holi
day and naval limitation thereafter
may result tomorrow from the meet
ing of the full committee of naval ex
perts to which the task of detailed
examination of the plan was refer
red.
The experts have completed their
analysis of the major elements of the
plan and it can he said authoritative
)v for the American group that no
technical flaw in the Hughes’ propos
al has been revealed.
The American basic offer of a
•Tive-iive-tliree" naval ratio between
tiri.it Britain, the United States and
,i;ipan lias stood, in American opin
ion, every test of fact applied by the
experts. It embodied no mistakes or
errors of calculation.
The American exports are exported
to report that the basis of fact under
lying the American plan is as stated.
M'lnt action. British or Japaneseex
prrts may take is not known. The
report, however, will clear the way
for action by the conference on the
principle' involved.
American officials are very hopeful
Ih it the utterances of Arthur .T. Bal
four. for the British group, and of
Admiral Baron Kato. for the .Tapan
rs". in replying to Secretary Hughes
will prove to have been acceptances of
the principles of the American pro
posal. They were widely construed
in that way at the time, but neces
•j ii ilc whatever was then said was
subject t‘> an agreement ns to the
facts upon which the plan was pre
dicated. in the American view those
facts have been sustained.
Next in interest to the. "flve-flve
tbree” ratio proposal has stood the
discussion as to the status of the
Japanese battleship Mutsii. There
was authoritative indication in Am
erican circles today that this was re
garded as of secondary importance,
provided any proposal for retention
of the Mutsu did not alter the “flve
five-threo” relative as standing be
tween the T'nited States and Japan.
It was suggested informally that If
Japan was bent on keeping the Alutsu
she might possibly negotiate sn
agreement to do so by offering to
scrap instead one of the four battle
cruiser’s slie would retain under the
American plan.
There was no official intimation,
however, that such a plan for settle
ment of the Mfitsu dispute had been
formally presentod.

WIRE SERVICE HARD HIT RY STORM
OVER MILLION DAMAGE IN NEW ENGLAND
MAIL CARRIER
LOST FOR HOURS
IN SNOW STORM
(Special to Kennebec Journal)
Cedar Grove, Me.. Nov. 28—Morris
Hall, aged about 22 years, the mail
carrier between Iceboro, in this town
and Cedar Grove, in Richmond, had
an experience Monday morning on
the Kennebec that he does r.ot care
to repeat. He left Iccboro in a skiff,
carrying the 7 and 0 o'clock mails
and had gone but a short distance
when lie became lost in the blinding
snow and in a short time was en
tangled in a drifting ice floe and
helpless. It. was flood tide and lie
drifted up river.
The alarm was telephoned all along
the river, but no boats were available
and would have been useless in the
drift ice. South Gardiner was noti
fied and Lester Brown, Julian Mc
Laughlin and Forrest Moulton
launched a large motor boat and
went in'search, finally sighting him
just bclogf Nehumkcag island, his
boat having drifted six miles from
where he started to cross the river.
The men took Hall into their mo
tor boat after a two-hours struggle
with the ice. They were then three
hours more before they could reach
shore, finally landing at the .T. W.
Hawthorne wharf on the Dresden
side, not far from Cedar Grove.
Hall was taken to the Hawthorne
home, where he was given hot drinks
and soon recovered enough to go
home. He was about all in when
found by Brown and Moulton, almost
six hours of exposure being a se
vere strain.
The ice was not so very thick itself,
but so slushy that it was practically
impossible to make headway through
it. It was necessary, to save the
skiff, to tie a heavy rope to it with
the motor boat and haul it on shore
with a pair of horses.

PELLETIER “GIVES
LIE” TO CHARGES OF
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Boston, Nov. 2S.—Attorney Genera!
,T. Weston Allen charged before the
full bench of the supreme court today
that District Attorney Joseph C. Pelle
tier of Suffolk county in a speech as
a candidate for mayor had asserted
that members of the court “take their
orders” from financiers who a'" mem
bers of the exclusive Union Club. The
attorney general was arguing before
the court for a speedy trial on charges
on which he seeks Pelletier's removal
from oflice.
Pelletier, in replying, asserted that
the charge was a "lie." "I never said,”
he continued. “It is a plant. It is a
mis-statement. 1 will answer that
here and now. I never said that a*
amfllme.”
The attorney general read from what
he saitl was an aujhorized copy of
Pelletier's speech as follows:
“Associated with these common
members of 1h“ Bar Association and
the Union Club is a still more power
ful class, namely: The big financiers
of tiris city who give these lawyers
and Union Club members their orders
The fingers of these gentlemen are in
every political pie. They are promi
nent in the membership of the Union
Club, which serves as a meeting place
and clearing house for the political
campaigns put forth by the men of
money. The big corporation lawyers,
the members of the Bar Association
and. I regret to state, the members of
our august supreme court take their
orders.”
Alien, who some days a so ha* railed
the attention of the court to another
statement which lie alleged was made
by Pelletier, added:
“?o that, having stood mute before
this court when this attack upon our
judiciary by him in a public address
was brought to his attention, in the
same night he goes further and again
attacks the judiciary and state* that
they receive orders from those repre
senting outside financial interests.*'
Two petitions for Pelletier*:« remov
al from office are pending before the
supreme court, one based on alleged
instances of improper conduc- of his
office and the other on statements
which the attorney general charges
were made in campaign speeches.
Attorney General Allen ashed thd
court today to hasten the trial of the
latter charges, giving them precedence
over those filed earlier which involv
the district attorney’s official acts. He
filed spccifications to the first set of
charges and asked that answer bo
made forthwith to them.
In another motion he asked <hat pe
titions for the disbarment of Pelletier
and Daniel H. Coakley,-a local attor
ney. be transferred to the full bench
and tried in conjunction with the re
moval proceedings on the ground that,
a number of the charges were similar
Pelletier, who filed a general denial
of the charges in the second petition,
told the court he stood ready for trial
on that case at any time. Specifica
tions having been furnished in ihe first
charges only today, he said he felt he
should have at least a month to find
out about 21 cases named for the first
time before he made answer.
He opposed also the motion for com
bining the disbarment cases with the
removal petition before the full court,
asserting he was entitled to ibe right
of appeal, which would be removed
\\ ere tlie case to be tried directly by
the full bench instead of by a single
justice, from whose rulings on law
an appeal might be taken.
