Arms Meet
Proceedings of Conference
Will Be Given Out in Full
Detail, Administration
Announce t.
Resolution Is Approved
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chlraco Tribune-Omaha Bra Leated Wire.
Washington, Nov. 8. While the
senate today was adopting a resolu
tion urging full publicity of the de
liberations of the approaching con
ference on the limitation of arma
ments the administration gave as
surance that there would be no com
plaint on this score.
"You may rest assured," said one
of the highest official of the ad
ministration, "that the public will be
informed of the progress of the con
ference with an unprecedented ampli
tude of detail. This is the sentiment
prevailing not only in the American
but in all the foreign delegations."
Proposal to Be Made Public.
The American proposals for the
limitation of naval armaments will
be presented to the conference at an
early session and immediately made
public.
President Harding, in his address
of welcome to the delegates when the
conference convenes next Saturday,
will refrain from submitting any
program, but will dwell upon the war
shattered condition of the world and
of the vital necessity to all nations
of reducing the burdens of armament
and of endeavoring to avoid war by
composing international differences
which might lead to war. t
Garrett Probable Secretary.
The secretary-general of the con
ference probably will be John W.
Garrett of Baltimore, who for many
years was in the American diplomatic
service and represented the United
States in numerous international ar
bitrations. .
The resolution adopted by the sen
ate without a dissenting vote, is that
introduced some time ago by Sena
tor Harrison of Mississippi, democrat,
requesting the American delegation
to 'use its influence to procure ad
mission of the press to the meetings
of the conference and to have ; the
conference maintain and preserve a
record of its proceedings.
Senator Lodge, one of the Ameri
can delegates, set out to fight the
resolutions as a specie's of impro
priety, but ! withdrew ' all objection
after elimination of a provision urg
ing the delegation to use "their in
fluence against any form of censor
tf$ upo'aWpit of the-conference-that
will prevent the public from be
ing informed through the press of the
correct attitude of delegations and
nations touching the questions, con
sidered in the conference." he sena
tor thought this an unwarranted im
putation to the foreign delegates of
a desire for censorship.
Favors Publicity. ' .
"I should'' be very sorry to see
the senate propose to interfere in
any way with a matter which must
be dealt with- by the representatives
of the , powers which we .invited
here," said Senator Lodge. "I think
the senate may rest assured that the
senator from Alabama and I will
favor all the publicity that is rea
sonably, possible for the conference
and certainly that a proper record
may be kept.
"But, what I object to is passing
any ' resolution' undertaking to hint
or to suggest that the foreign nations
whose delegates shall sit in the con
ference and who have a right to
settle1 their own procedure 'in' com
pany with us, what that procedure
shall" be."- .
"It cannot be ' denied," replied
Senator Harrison, "that subtle di
plomacy is at work here now and
will be' continued at work through

Confusion in Names
Proves Embarrassing
Art Moran, 3522 Webster street,
wishes it .understood he was in no
way .. connected with the quarrel
which led to the shooting of Joe
Moran by Frank Cirian in the base
ment of Cirian's home.
, On two occasions Art Moran's
name was erroneously given out as
the man who was shot and killed by
Cirian. - Owing to confusion brought
about by the fact that - both Art
Moran and Joe Moran were amateur
base ball players it was reported by
mistake immediately aft ex the shoot
ing that Art Moran was the man
slain. Again Monday, through an
error. Art Moran's name was used in
The Bee.
"The confusion has brought my
husband and myself no end of em
barrassment," said Mrs. Art Moran
yesterday. "Art was in no way in
volved iij the shooting or the quarrel
between Joe Moran and Cirian. Art
: never has taken a drink in his life
j and could not possibly have become
: connected with such an affair."

Regents Agree to
$360,000 Reserve
For University
Stipulation Providing for Such
t Fund Filed in Supreme
Court as Mandamus Is
Dismissed.
Lincoln, Nov. 8. (Special Tele
gram.) Stipulation of the agree
ment reached between Governor Mc-
l Kelvie and the university regents,
filed in supreme court today, which
means the withdrawal of the man
damus action against the governor,
contains the following high points.
The regents agree that the gover
nor has a right to slice quarterly es
timates when he believes they are
exorbitant.
A total reserve of $360,000 will be
set aside from the $6,000,000 univer
sity appropriations. The sum of
$45,000 is set aside each quarter
for a reserve and if, after the quarter,
the regents can show the governor a
good reason why they should spend
it, the governor can turn any part
of $45,000 over to them. .
1 he regents put up the white flag
and the governor granted an armis
tice which ended in terms satisfac
tory to him, filed today.
The main contention was whether
the governor should act as a clerk
to scan university estimates for the
purpose of discovering clerical er
rors with power to say, "I wouldn't
do it, boys," or whether as the man
directly responsible to the people
he had a right to cut down on esti
mates if he believed they were too
high. - - ' -

Both Sides Still
Marking Time in
Irish Conference
No Further Developments Ex
pected Before Monday
Prorogation of Parliament
Hoped for Thursday. "
" . Bj- The Associated Frm. "
London, Nov. 8. The belief was
expressed in high quarters tonight
that it might be Monday before any
developments occurred in the Irish
situation. All parties were busy in in
formal discussion, but there will be
no specific move before Thursday's
meeting between the premier and
members of the Ulster cabinet. There
is a hope that parliament may be
prorogued Thursday and as Friday
is Armistice day, further official con
versations concerning Irleand are
likely to be adjourned until Monday.
In addition to having influential
talks with Premier Lloyd George
and Foreign Secretary Curzoft, Sir
James Craig, Ulster premier, con
sulted with influential parliamentary
leaders, seeking their support for the
Ulster viewpoint. '
Lloyd George presided over a cab
inet council tonight at which, it ia
understood ; , the king's speech pro
roguing parliament was discussed.
It is expected to deal mainly with
Irish affairs.
Unofficial reports were current
that in the event Thursday's confer
ence between the premier and the
Ulstcrites shows the impossibility of
an agreement being reached with
Ulster the premier will make "a
.grave and important announcement'',
to the house of commons. -This is
commonly interpreted as a threat
that he will resign if Ulster persists
in an unreasonable attitude. - ;
In official quarters there is no sign
i of an improvement, and the Ulster
cabinet is expected to give unani
mously its reasons for refusing to
assent to concessions. ;-. ,
' There will be no resumption of the
conference with the Sifen Fein dele
gates until the difficulty with .Ulster
has been overcome. - ,
