Kinsler, United States district attor

"The grand jury will continue to
serve until the end of the present

Dismissal until call was ordered
only because federal agents, who are

, Kinsler declared.
"We have at least a dozen 'blue
sky cases under investigation, be
sides many others. As soon as one
is ready for indictment, the jury will
be recalled, as needed."
Kinsler made this statement to lull
any false sense of security on the

SECRETARY HUGHES
Permanent Chairman Says
World Looks to Conference
For Relief From Crush-
ing Burden.
Sacrifices Are Necessary
By The Anoclated Prr.
Washington, Nov. 12. Secretary
Hughes, in his address accepting the
permanent chairmanship of the con.
ference on limitation of armaments,
spoke in part as follows:
Permit me to express the most
cordial appreciation of the assurances
of friendly co-operation which have
been generously expressed by the
representative of all the invited gov.
ernments. The earnest desire 'and
purpose, manifested in every step in
the approach to this meeting, that we
should meet the reasonable expecta
tion of a watching world by effeo
tive action suited by the opportunity,
is the best augury for" the success
of the conference. ' ,
' The president invited the govern
ments of the British empire, trance,
Italy and Japan to participate in :
conference on the subject of limita
tion of armament in connection with
which Pacific and far eastern ques
tions also would be discussed. . The
opportunity to limit armament lies
within their grasp.
It was recognized, however, that
the interests of other powers in the
far east made it appropriate that
they should be invited to participate
in the discussion of Pacific and far
eastern , problems, and with 'the ap1
nroval of the five powers, an invita.
tion to take part in the discussion of
those questions has been extended to
Belgium, China, the Netherlands and
Portugal.
World Looks for Relief.
The world .looks to . this confer
ence to relieve humanity of the
crushing burden created by competi
tion in armament and it is the view
of the American government that we
should' meet that expectation with
out any unnecessary delay. .'It is
therefore proposed that the confer
ence should proceed at once to con
sider the question ot tne umiiaiiQD
of armament 1 m t. -: . '
This, however," does not mean that
we must postpone the examination
of the far eastern questions. Ihese
questions of vast importance press
fAr cnlittinn. It is hooed that imme
diate provision may be made to deal
with them adequately inrougn me
distribution of work among desig
nated committees to make progress
to the ends sought to be achieved
without either subject being treated
as a hindrance to the . proper con
sideration and disposition of the
ftoposal Not New.
Thp nrooosal to limit armament
by agreement of the powers is not
a new one ana we arc aumumuii."
bv the futility of earlier effort. To
put an end to these incessant arma
mnt and to seek the means, of
warding off the calamities which are
threatening the whole word such is
the 'supreme duty wnicn is ouay
imposed on all states; "
It was with tnis sense or oDiiga
tion that his majesty, tne emperor
of Russia, proposed the conference
which was to occupy uscu wuh
this grave problem" artd which met
at The Hague ifi the year 1899.
It was seven years later that the
secretary of state of the United
States, Mr. Elihu Root, in answer
ing a note of the Russian ambassa
dor suggesting in outline a program
of the second peace conference, said;
"The government of the United
States therefore feels it to be its
duty to reserve the liberty to pro
pose to the second peace conference
as one of the subjects for considera
tion the reduction or limitation of
armaments, in the hope, that if noth
ing further can be accomplished,
some slight advance may be made
toward the realization of the lofty
conception which actuated the em
peror of Russia in . calling the first
conference."
Germany Opposed Plan. '
It is significant that the imperial
German government expressed it
self as "absolutely opposed to the
question of disarmament" and that
the "emperor of Germany threatened
to decline to send delegates if the
subject of disarmament was to be
discussed.
But by the reason of the obstacles
which the subject had encountered,
the second peace conference at The
Hague, although it made notable
progress in provision for the peace
ful settlement of controversies, was
unable to deal with limitation of
armament except by a resolution in
general terms. -
This was the fruition ot the ef
forts of eight years. Although the
effect was clearly perceived, the race
in preparation of armaments; wholly
unaffected by these futile sugges
tions, went on until it fittingly cul
minated in the greatest war of his
tory, and we are now suffering from
the unparalleled loss of life, the de
struction of hopes, the economic dis
locations, and the wide-spread im
poverishment which measure the cost
of the victory over the brutal pre
tensions of military force.
"But if we are warned by the
nadequacy of earlier endeavors for
limitation of armament, we cannot
fail to recognize the extraordinary
opportunity now presented.
We not only have the lessons of

Washington, Nov. 12. The prayer
with which the armament and far

offered by the Rev. W. S. Aber-

"Almighty God, we thank Thee for

shall sink into the depths of the

shall miss the great joy of service.

Burglars Get $6,000
In Goods From Store
Nebraska" City, Neb.. Nov. 12.
(Special.) L. Wessel's Sons & Co.'s
dry goods store was robbed of mer
chandise valued at about $6,000.
Burglars gained entrance through a
rear window and, taking suitcases
from the stock, filled a number with
furs, silk hose, waists, leather goods
and men's furnishings. It is believed
the thieves were familiar, with the
store or that they had assistance
from the inside, as nothing but. the
best merchandise was taken.
A large automobile evidently was
used in transporting the loot. A
telephone message from the toll
keeper of , the Plattsmouth river
bridge stated that a man driving a
high-powiered car filled with suit
cases crossed the bridge headed to
ward Omaha shortly after 3 in the
morning. A reward of $500 is offered-for
return of the goods and the
capture and conviction of the burg
lars. -

Proposed Agreement. v
ASHINGTON, Nov. 12. A 10-year naval policy
in ijaval construction, involving a tremendous
scrapping of ships now on the ways or contem
plated by the United States, Great Britain and
Japan, was proposed to the conference on the
limitation of armaments by Secretary Hughes at
the opening session today as America's pro-
Dosals.
Briefly, the American proposal is :
Kato Declares
U. S. Proposals
'May Be Suitable'
Japanese Delegate Says Plan
Far-Reaching But Good
Scheme to Have Been
Placed Before Conference.
Washington,' Nov. 12. (By The
Associated Press.) The American
armament limitation plan as outlined
to the armament conference today by
Secretary Hughes, was described by
Admiral Baron Kato of the Japanese
delegation as "very far-reaching, but
a good proposal to have been placed
before the conference."
"The American proposal," Baron
Kato said, "is very far-reaching, but
I .consider it a good one to have
been oresented to the conference."
The Japanese government has not
contemplated submitting a counter
lu-jpo'sal, . Baron Kato said, adding
that determination of this question
would await a more complete study
of details of Secretary Hughes plan.
Basis for Discussion.
Asked if the American proposal
would be acceptable to Japan, Baron
Kato said: .
"As a basis of discussion the
American proposal might be suit
able." ' .
. "With the acceptance of this plan,"
said Secretary Hughes at the conclu
sion of his presentation of the Amer
ican proposals, "the burden of meet
ing the demands of competition in
naval armament will be lifted. Enor
mous sums will be- released to aid
the progress of civilization. At the
same time the proper demands of
national defense will be adequately
met and the nations will have ample
opportunity during the naval holiday
of 10 years to consider their future
course. .Preparation for future naval
war shall stop now. I shall not at
tempt at this time to take ud the
other topics which have been listed
on .the tentative agenda orooosed in
anticipation ot the conference.
Briand Interested.
Premier Briand of France came
out of he conference animated and
intensely interested in what had
taken place.
"It is an excellent beginning,'
said he. "Just what I should have
expected from an, American states
man. Mr. Hughes took resolute hold
of the question, boldly and courage
ously. No time was spent over
phrases. He closed at once with
realities and laid down a- clear
straight-forward proposal about
which there can be no interpretative
doubt. It is fundamental in
principle.
"As for me, I think the American
government has begun the confer
ence in the right way with frank
proposals that go to the bottom of
the naval armament question."
