TWELVE PAGES PRICE TWO CENTS OW TWAINS MD RIWl STANDS MVB CENTS LOSES STATUS AS WAR CURE Old Bogey Fades as Hughes Tells Nations Arms Are Without Ec&- nomic Justification and Are a Constant Menace to Ail Peace. By David Lawi-eare (Copjrrieht. 1921. bj The Journal) Washington, Aug. 13. Preparedness, of .which so .much was heard first from Republican spokesmen and later from Democrats, has received its first solar plexus from the Harding administration. Secretary Hughes, in his formal Invita tion to Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan to a conference on reduction of armament, has enunciated a doctrine which the liberal element has been preaching ,for years only to be derided by their opponents. Armament, in the opinion of Mr. Hughes, is "not only without economic justification, but is a constant menace to the peace of the world rather than an assurance of Its preservation There Is a school of thought, even In the tiaraing administration, which doesn't agree with that theory, and in congress, to be sure, ...there always has been an element which, like the National security league and klndsed organiza tions, insisted that the surest preventive lor war was preparedness. The naval and military expenditures of the United States government has been variously defended on the ground that it was necessary to arm against potential foes, but the Harding administration through the Hughes note to the powers has reverted to Woodrow Wilson's theory, which is that armaments should be re duced to a point consistent with domestic 'safety that armies should be large enough only to exercise domestic police power and that navies should be simply coast guards. But the decision of the Harding administration as . reflected In the Hughes note--to insist that arma ments are a "constant menace to the (Concluded on Pace Two, Column Six): Br Ed I.

Paris. Aug. 13. (U. P.) The supreme council, in its final session today, again reached a deadlock this time over the question of allied evacuation of German territory. Lord Curson, British foreign minister, urged the immediate evacuation of the Dusseldorf and Ruhrort areas and the raising of the Rhine customs barrier, maintaining that Germany had suffi ciently proved her good faith in ac ceptance of the recent allied ultimatum. Premier Briand vigorously opposed him. Insisting on continuing the occupa tion until Germany has given better proofs. . The council adjourned for' tea, after which another attempt will be made to reacn an agreement. . BRIAXD STAITD8 FAT The French representatives certainly will retort that Germany has not lived up to her promises and that therefore France must remain within striking dis tance or tne rich Kunr region. It is recalled' that Premier Briand and Lord Curzon, the British secretary of state lor foreign affairs, nearly split on this matter some time back, during Cur xon's pourparlers on the Near Eastern situation, held in Paris.

(L N. S- The su preme council today decided to assist in Russian relief. A commission will be appointed consisting of three delegates from each country represented on the supreme council to aid the relief or ganizations. It w&s decided, however, not to allocate credits for Russian relief. George Harvey, American ambassador to England and the American delegate on the supreme council, told his col leagues that the American government had received a telegram from M. Tchlt cherln. the commissar for foreign affairs in the soviet government, objecting to outside control of famine relief. Harvey said the United States be lieved that without such control assist ance could not be coordinated and ef fective. The Japanese and Italian representa tives made similar statements in behalf of their governments. The Italian delegates said Italy be lieved relief would be impossible without outside control.

Development after development followed swiftly to day in the rounding up of evidence against William Hightower. t suspected slayer of Father Patrick E. Heslin. kid naped Colma priest. Following swiftly ,oa the disclosure thtt Hightower had a tent which had been set up close by the grave of the priest at Salada beach. Doris Shirley, woman of mystery, was found. "She cleared up several things," Cap tain of Detectives Duncan Matheson ad mitted after two hours conference with her. DE2TIES STATEMENTS "We probably will take Hightower to San Mateo county today and formally charge him with the murder of Father Heslin," announced District Attorney J. Franklin Swart, In charge of the inves tigation for that county, on his arrival at police headquarters. "We will clear up some things today and by noon we expect to be in shape to take decisive action." he. added. It was learned that Doris Shirley smashed completely two of Hightower's strongest alibis. She denied that she was his companion on a night ride to San Jose, August 2. when Father Heslin was kidnaped. She likewise denied that Hightower had ever introduced her to Dolly Mason, as he had claimed. CALLS FOR TTPE WRITER The Shirley girl hastened here from Fresno when she learned that ber testi mony was desired. With her came Lee Putnam, to whom she is engaged to be married. The couple will be married as soon as she completes her testimony at police headquarters. Two indications were given that High tower may be planning a confession. After refusing breakfast he called for a typewriter. Later, he asked, that a writer of news paper poetry be . sent for. . This writer was summoned, but said he knew el no reason way he hould be called except that ta Hightowefr yoontvar-foiut h uncompleted letter'1 addressed to .the writer complimenting him on a poets on the death of a little boy. The letter was an expression of. Hightower's views on death. Following the-taking of the Shirley gin s statement the grilling of High tower was resumed. District Attorney Swart indicated that it would not be lengthy and intimated that before night Hightower would be ' In a San Mateo county Jail charged with murder. One of the important moves in the mys tery was the search for an accomplice of the murderer. Police expect to find turn dead. Most of the night Constable S. A. Landinl of Colma dug In the sand of Salada beach, where Father Heslin's body was found, and early today re turned for rest, confident that he was near to the finding of the body. Police believe there were two kidnap ers, and one killed the other. WOMAX STILL HISSIXQ Another phase was the search for Dolly Mason, who la supposed to have furnished the Information that led to the discovery of the grave. The third had to do with articles taken from the grave of Father Heslin, These Included . tent posts, samples of printing and numerous small articles. The crude printing, on a tent found in the room of Hightower tallied remark ably in its characteristics with the print ing on the note to Archbishop Hanna demanding ransom for Father Heslin. Hightower spent a quiet night under guard in the city jail. Father Heslin's funeral will be hela today. The offices for. the dead were sung last night at 8 o'clock at St. Marys cathedral.

' - EQUALITY OF TAX BURDENS DECLARED AIM Administration Satisfied With Re vised Bill Which Frees Busi ness of-Trivial Worries, Yet Promises Necessary Revenues. By Fraak A. Stetsoa Washington. Aug. 13. L N. S.) President Harding believes that highly important progress along the lines of tax revision has thus far been accom plished by his administration. In a statement issued today from the White House, it Is . asserted that the whole tax reform program of the ad ministration contemplates ' freeing busi ness from what have been found "para lysing and exasperating conditions, en couraging to the utmost the resump tion of enterprise and business, remov ing every incentive to evasion and fraud and distributing the tax burden with the greatest possible equity' on those best able to pay." FAIB DISTRIBUTION AIM The aim of the administration in its revenue revision program, according to the statement, is to establish methods that would "raise the needed revenue within reasonable certainty, that would make collection sure and inexpensive and that would properly- adjust the - burden among all classes of the community." The administration emphasised that no effort had been made to relieve the rich of their share of the burdens, that steps have been taken so that no class will be left an avenue of escape from them. The administration claims that the rich man's taxes under the program will produce about $1,800,000,000 while the balance will be distributed over the entire community amcng rich and poor. the rich being certain, because they are proportionately the greatest consumers.
