conference of all the nations in the world
probably will have to be called by the

limiting the construction of naval arma
ment, a spokesman of the British dele
gation stated today.
Clauses in the Hughes proposal which
binds nations that are parties to the
agreement not to sell existing warships
to nations outside the agreement, or to
construct new war vessels for other na
tions, have raised a question as to the
effectiveness of the Hughes plan which
probably can be settled only by a gen
eral world agreement, It was ;tated.

FATE OF JOE H BL;
ALLEGED SLAYER,
The jury hearing the murder trial of
Joe Hell, charged .with the killing of
Jerry Powers, . poolroom : proprietor.- in
the poolroom under the Perkins hotel on
October 23, was given Its Instructions
and. sent to the" jury room by CI retail
Judge Wilson just before noon today. --.
Joseph I Haromersly, lor the state.
and Torn Garland, for the defense, made
weir arguments una morning, uinaoa
confined . himself to attempting to save
his client's neck, as the fact that Heil
killed Powers in attempting to hold him
up was undisputed. s
Heil is an Austrian by - birth. He
is a ' man of medium height. - broad
but lean. He has protruding eyebrows
and sunken eyes. He seemed to take an
almost scientific interest in answering
accurately the questions of attorneys,
but spoke' hi broken English and with a
dull painful earnestness.
WOMAX IS CASE
He had been in Portland only three
weeks. His money ran out. The last (5
he gave to a girl he picked up in a picture
show. They had a "split-up" and with
his money gone he was desperate. He
thought a lot of that girL They solemnly
promised that they would never leave
each other. But she was false. How
long had he known her? Oh, about 10
days.
So he took a gun and went to the pool
room. That was at 11 :20. There were
eight or nine men playing. They began
to leave and finally there wasn't anyone
around but the manager- wow was
Joe's chance. He walked over to the
counter and said, "Stick up your hands
and give me your money.
"I haven't any money." Powers said.
Just then someone came down the
steps.
"There's a detective now," Powers
whisoered tenselv.
Joe really isn't very smart. He whirled
around, and as he did so Powers made a
lunge, grabbing the gun with both hands.
Then they fought back and fourth. Joe
says he was merely trying to get to the
door. But the gun went off and Powers
fell.
Joe ran out the door and then east
on Washington. Behind him ran a strag
gling line of policemen and civilians. He
says 12 or 13 bullets whistled around his
head before he had run a block. He
turned around and fired back. One of
their bullets cut his finger.
IKTEKDEB SUICIDE BITT
Then in the North end, when he was
cornered, he thought he had one bullet
left in his gun. He meant to kill himself.
but he didn't. Life is sweet after alL
and Joe isn't very smart. He admits
that himself. He told the jury that he
didn't think very clearly, his mind was a
little foggy, he said.
Hell's trial isabout the most quickly
disposed of murder trial that has ever
been heard of in the Multnomah county
circuit court. The state called about 10
witnesses Tuesday, and Tom Garland
attorney for the defense, passed prac
tically all of them without cross exam
.nation.
A severe windstorm caused a great
deal of damage tn the southern end of
Malheur county last week. Roofs were
blown off of barns and houses, other
Duiidings were totally destroyed, and a
horse valued at $2500 was killed.
