WASHINGTON, D. C. Not. 10. (By
the Associated Press.) The treat
power completed their preparations
todty for the conference on limitation
of armaments.
Tonight their representatives set
aside as a period of mourning; for
America's soldier dead the hours remaining-
before the conference assem
bles Saturday.
The last of the major delegations
were completed by the day's arrivals,
who Included A. J. Balfour, head of
the British group until the coming of
Lloyd George, and additional dele
gates from New Zealand, Australia
and Italy.
Only the delegation from Portugal,
which Is to arrive tomorrow, was
missing tonight.
IT. S. Advisers Gather.
Notable among the day's confer
snces among the representatives of
the Individual nations was a meeting
of the advisory committee named by
President Harding to "advise and as
sist" the American delegates. The
committee completed its organisa
tion. By exchanges among the partici
pating nations, final agreement was
reached on the programme for the
opening day, last-minute touches
were added to physical arrangements
In the conference ball and every de
tail of the preparations was com
pleted. Frills Are to Be Cat Out.
Plans for the opening session will
start the conference with a minimum
of frills. Secretary Hughes will bring
the delegates to order, there will be
prayer, President Harding will make
a short address, a chairman will be
ehosen, and the conference will go to
work. President Harding will enter
tain the delegates at dinner at the
White House Saturday night.
Unless all surface Indications are
deceiving, the United States alone
will be ready to come forward at the
outset with a concrete proposal for
armament limitation.
This plan, relating primarily to
naval problems, therefore appears to
bs destined to become the first im
portant topic of negotiation, although
counter proposals are expected to be
brought in later and the discussion
Is believed likely to lead the confer
ence quickly Into a consideration of
various farflung questions of diplo
matic policy.
Optimism Is Growing.
As the opening hour approaches
there Is manifest a feeling of grow
ing optimism among many delegates,
coupled with a determination not to
permit the conference to stray into
troublesome fields with which it has
no concern. The British delegation
Is making Its plans for a six weeks'
session and most of the other groups
are almost as hopeful of quick ac
complishment. Proposals to be made by the Ameri
can delegation apparently constitute
the only suggestions prepared In ad
vance as to ways and means of cur
tailing naval expenditures without
sacrifice by any power of national
security. Great Britain Is not known
to have worked out any formula.
Japan is awaiting the American sug
gestion; France and Italy are more
concerned with land forces than
navies.
American Proposals Secret.
The American proposals remain a
closely guarded secretT
This much Is known:
A definite formula for agreement
on limitation of navw.1 forces has
been reached by Secretary Hughes
and his colleagues of the American
delegation. The formula is an en
tirely practical one. It does not
attenipt to fix a common denominator
by which all navies could be divided
and each power assigned by agree
ment the number of units it could
maintain with world approval.
The American suggestion will deal
with things as they are. It will be a
plain proposition of ships built, build
ing or authorized, of naval bases, of
the vital element of naval replace
ments, of the potential naval signifi
cance of merchant marines and of
other concrete, existing or planned
weapons and auxiliaries of naval
warfare.
Stroke Is Bold One.
Also it is regarded by those who
framed the suggestions as a bold
stroke for naval reductions, possibly
too bold for immediate reduction.
The advisory committee of 21 pre
pared to assume Its role of Interpreter
between American public opinion and
the American big four at the con
ference. Through six sub-committees the ad-

broken out in the forward compart
ment of the submarine L- 6 today
when the craft was ten fatboms be

la test run from San Diego to Los
Angeles and IS mlies from the latter.
Six members of the crew an the com
mander. Lieutenant M. V. Stonestreet
were either seriously burned or over
come by smoke snd gas.
When the fire, of which the causa
was still officially undetermined late
tonight, broke out, the deaths of the
72 men aboard were averted only by
a strenuous struggle to bold the
flames in check and by as quick a
rise to the surface as possible.
After several men had been over
come, the forward compartment was
locked, the craft came to the surface,
the crew was ordered to the narrow
deck and a 15-mlle run for life was
made ' with smoke and gas fumes
belching from the open batches.
when Los Angeles harbor was
reached, other naval craft went to
the rescue, but the submarine kept
on at full speed to the submarine
base, where sailors, with gas helmets,
descended into the craft and brought
out the men most seriously burned.
All of the Injured were treated at
the base hospital.
The L-f had been out for 41 hours
on a 68-hour full-power and endur
ance test from San Diego to Los
I Angeles when the accident occurred.
The three men most seriously
burned and in whose cases complica
tions are feared by base hospital of
ficers are H. W. Hunter, electrician,
second class; R. J. 'Weir, electrician,
second class, and F. McGowan, chief
electrician. The other three less se
riously burned are Gunner G. W. Ray
mond, Seaman C. A. Burgard and
Chief Torpedoman G. A. Topping.
MAN FATALLY SMOTHERED
Steam Engineer Is Burled by
Cave-In of Sawdust.
A. L. Parks, steam engineer in the
employ of the Portland Railway,
Power & Light company, was smoth
ered to death beneath ten feet of
sawdust about 11 o'clock last night
at station "W foot of East Lincoln
street. Two , workmen who were
buried at the same time freed them
selves and endeavored to . rescue
Parks, but It was 25 minutea before
his body was uncovered.
The three men were caught when
a perpendicular side of the pile, near
which they were standing, collapsed.
The sawdust continued to cave as the
rescuers worked, keeping them from
reaching Parks until he was dead.
He was taken to the emergency hos
pital by the Arrow ambulance to be
subjected to a ptilmotor, but the phy
sician in charge said he had been dead
many minutes. The body was then
turned over to the coroner.

Stream Is Overwhelming,
Like Nation's Life Blood.
GREAT REWARD IS WON
Big Men Humbly Place Wreaths of
Roses on Coffin Wounded
Comrades Do Homage.
WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 10. (By
the Associated Press.) A river of
humanity, American men. women and
children, Americans by heritage.
Americans by election, flowed all
day today and far into the night past
the bier of the dead soldier, under
the great dome of the capltoL
It flowed as the life blood' of the
nation a slow but overwhelming tor
rent of human documents gathered
to attest the valor of America's dead
in France.
The great stream surged up the
eastern front of the rotunda, four
abreast, up the granite stairway, in
through the -huge doorway to pass
solemnly, reverently by the casket
and its five guards, motionless as
the statues of Lincoln and Grant at
the far doorway which looked down
on the moving spectacle..
Thousands' Make Journey.
Out through that doorway the
stream passed, through the stately
corridor and its marble stairway and
down over the wide terraces of the
western front to the homes In the
city. Each hour saw thousands make
the slow journey of honor. Each
hour saw new thousands pouring up
the wide driveways that circle the
great building.
That was the overshadowing ele
ment in the cycle of honors heaped on
this nameless soldier, this son of the
people come home to claim the great
reward his valiant heart had earned.
And it was his own people, of every
nook of the nation, that silently gave
this reward, mora precious than any
jeweled or carven token that govern
ments of the world will place tomor
row above the still breast of the
sleeper.
Great Men Do Homage.
To one side of the throng a second
unending ceremonial of honors for
the dead went on. There great men
came humbly to place their wreaths
and roses at the bier. There came
comrades, limping from wounds that
brought them down in France. There
came gray-haired veterans of old
wars, moved to do honor to the young.
stricken comrade of the last great
struggle; there came the ambassa
dors and ,the ministers and the spe
cial .envoys of governments around
the world.
There were formal services here.

Poultry Growers. Tell Senate Com
mittee More Protection Is
Needed by Hens.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. 10
Congregational action was completed
today on the bill to extend the life of
the emergency tariff until permanent
tariff legislation is enacted, while the
senate finance committee was hear
ing appeals for protection from live
stock and poultry growers.
The final legislative action on the
bill to extend the emergency action,
which otherwise would expire No
vember 27, was concurrence of the
bouse in amendments added by the
senate. The amendments were ac
cepted, 233 to 93.
Poultry growers, through the Ameri
can Poultry association, told the sen
ate committee that the American hen
could not compete with her foreign
sister under rates on eggs as con
tained in the Fordney bill passed fj
the house. They asked a duty of 5
cents a dozen on eggs instead of -cent
rate of the Fordney bill.
Knox Bouae of San Francisco testi
fied that Chinese eggs threaten to
break the American market He
argued that congress should not allow
this situation to obtain and assured
the committee that the Chinese hens
were producing millions of dozens
of eggs which were marketed In Chi
cago at IS cents a dozen including
duty and freight.
Requirements of the cattlemen, as
submitted by Judge 8. H Cowan of
Fort Worth, representing the Ameri
can National Livestock association,
are for a 20 per cent ad valorem duty
on hides and an equal rate on fresh
and prepared meats but with the pro
vision that the 20 per cent rate on
meats should not mean less (ban 4
cents a pound.
On .he meat animals, the association
asked that a basic duty of 20 per cent
be established, rather than on a per
held basis with a specific duty as pro
vided by the house. Hides are now
on the free list, while rates on cattle
range from 1 to 1 cents a pound and
the beef and veal duty is 2 cents a
pound.

MR. PRESIDENT. WE'VE HAD
Husband's Allegations of Cruelty
Within Legal Meaning of
Term Are Stricken Out.
NEW TORK, Not. 10. The divorce
action threatened last September by
Geraldine Farrar, grand opera singer,
against Lou Tellegen, her actor hus
band, actually has been instituted, it
was learned today through proceed
ings before Supreme Court ' Justice
Guy. '
Counsel for Miss Farrar and her
husband appeared before Justice Guy
to argue Miss Farrar's claim that
certain allegations in the nature of
a counter-claim for separation be
stricken from Mr. Tellegen's answer
to her action. These accusations, re
ferring to cruelty on the part of Miss
Farrar, were ordered stricken from
the document.
' Miss Farrar and her husband al
ready are parties to a suit for separa
tlon begun last August in Westches
ter county by Tellegen. He asserted
his wife had deserted him and that
her conduct for several months pre'
ceding her alleged desertion amount
ed to cruelty within the legal mean
ing of the term.
The divorce action. It was said, was
begun in this city two weeks ago
The summons and complaint were
served on Mr. Tellegen immediately
and he readily submitted his answer
over which today's argument of coun
sel developed. In his answer Mr. Tel
legen named the same affairs as ob'
talned in his suit for separation and
asked that the divorce be refused and
a separation granted instead. In his
suit for' separation, Mr. Tellegen al
leged his wife treated him with
cruelty and refused to live with him.
Nature of the charges made by Miss
Farrar in the divorce suit was not
made public
