Washington, Dec, 26. Kugene V.
Debs, socialist leader, whose 10-
year prison sentence for violation of
the espionage act was commuted on
Christinas, came here, today from the
Atlanta federal ocuitrnliary and
called on President Harding and At
torney General Daugherty. Mr.
Daugherty said Debs came of his
own "volition," while Debs declared
his visit was at the "request" of the
attorney general 'and that lie was
given a ticket to the capital by the
warden without choice of destina
tion, although he had planned to go
immediately to his home at Tcrrc
Haute, 1 ml.
After his talk with Debs the attor
ney general declared that there were
no unusual conditions attached to the
commutation -of the sentence, that
no advice was offered to Debs nor
was any requested, and that he hoped
Debs would direct his talents to a
useful purpose.
Debs Breaks Silence.
No statement was made after the
White House conference, but on
reaching his hotel Debs broke his
silence and declared he would de
vote his time to the freedom of alt
prisoners. He added that he had
discussed his opinions with President
Harding in order that there might be
no misunderstanding as to his prin
ciples and ideals.
Debs arrived at 9 a. m. He left
Atlanta in a day oach, giving the
extra fare to Russian relief, but
about 10 o'clock last night, according
to friends who accompanied htm, he
changed to a sleeper. With him were
his brother, Theodore;-- Miss Celia
Rotter of the Debs freedom commit
tee, Miss Lucy Robhins of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and news
paper men. He went immediately to
a hotel for breakfast and then walked
to the attorney general's office. From
Lloyd George and
Briand Confer on
Question of Subs
British Premier . Understood
. To' Have Delayed Express
ing Opinion Until After. .
Conference, at Cannes. .'
By HENRY WALES.
Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright, 1921.
. Paris, Dec.- 26. Premier Briand
conversed for half . an hour . with
Prime Minister Lloyd George in his
private car attached to the Riviera
Express at the Gare du Lyon this
evening, while the prime ministers
coach was switched from the Calais
to the Cannes train. - - , s
Although the details of the con
versation were riot divulged,- I am
informed that M. Briand attempted
to reach an agreement with Mr.
Lloyd George regarding submarines,
but the British leader stalled off ex
pressing an opinion until they meet
at Cannes.- '
Mr. Lloyd George is reported to
have expressed a -willingness Jo en
ter a three or five-power agreement
for maintaining a status quo in
European waters and listened sym
pathetically to M. Briand's conten
tion that it is necessary to restrict
the Scandinavian, Dutch, Spanish
and Greek tonnage, commensurate
with the French.
Cipher cablegrams were filed from
the British embassy and Quai d'Or
say to Arthur J. Balfour and M.
Sarraut, respectively, following the
interview.
Postponement Authorized.
It is understood that the French
and British delegations have been
instructed to accept a postponement
of the submarine discussion while
the navy experts prepare reports.;
Unless France can obtain special
treaties covering a status quo in At
lantic European waters, , it wants the
w-hole submarine question referred to
'a future conference at which the
small nations will be invited tq take
a part.
M. Briand's determination to in
sist upon France's right to main
tain the undersea boats is stronger
than ever, following Philippe
Berthelot's resignation as secretary
general- of the foreign office.
Interpellation before the chamber
of deputies concerning the failure
of the Industrial Bank of China, of
which M. Berthelot's brother was a
"director and which threatened to
topple M. Briand, will fall flat
when reopened tomorrow, according
to political experts, giving the
premier absolute freedom of action
at Cannes, Washington and London.
Hope for. Three-Power Pact
Admiral De Bon has been in
structed to suggest a five-power
treaty similar to the Pacific pact,
as the United States as the host to
the conference, cannot be ignored.
France is hopeful, however, of ob
taining a three-power agreement
with Great Britain, Italy and France,
covering the English channel.
French-Atlantic waters, the Mediter
ranean and the Adriatic. Such a
pact specifically guarantees against
aggression by any of the three signa
tories which, the French say, would
relieve the British of apprehension.
Failing to obtain the treaty,
France will demand that Norway,
Sweden, . Denmark, Holland, Spam
and Greece be invited to a conference
ind naval tonnage allotted them also
in proportion to the French total.
France will not ask tonnage equal
ly to the Scandinavians, who can
construct 200 submarines simultane
ously, according to technical experts
but will insist upon the creation of
an investigating committee to ex
amine the shipyards of all the coun
tries periodically, ensuring the -
ecution of the agreement. 1
the department he wa. to the
White House and then back to his
hotel.
He firat planned to leave Wash
ington when his calls bad bicn paid,
but tonight it was decided to remain
over until tomorrow night to confer
with friends. One of his first visi
tors after his return from the Whftc
House was Samuel Gompcrs, who
declared that the work (or freedom
in behalf of political prisoners would
go on. V
A statement was , made by Debs
after be bad conferred with Presi
dent Harding and Attorney General
Daugherty. II is future activities,
Debs said, would depend entirely
on how long 1 will be out. .
Readjustment Necessary.
During his confinement Debs said
everything in his world had become
chaotic and undergone changes
which would make it necessary fcr
him to readjust himself to the condi
tions of the present before he could
foresee exactly what his future ac
tivities would be.
"When I was advised by the war
den of my release by commutation,"
he said, "it was coupled with the re
quest of Attorney General Daugherty
that I come to Washington to meet
him and President Harding. The
warden furnished me with a railroad
ticket to the capital city for that pur
pose." Mr. Debs explained that it was
customary upon the release of a pris
oner, for the authorities to give him
his transportation to his home or the
place from which he was sentenced,
as he preferred, but that he was given
no choice by the warden at Atlanta.
"I was courteously received by the
attorney general," he continued, "and
expressed to him my interest in and
my devotion to my fellow prisoners

Shipping Experts
May Recommend
Remuneration
Scale . of Rates Based on
Speed, Distance and Ton
nage of U. S. Vessels
Expected in Report. , :
.ir-"-'"' ; - -.-V"';w
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire.
Washington, Dec. 26. Members of
the shipping board and the expert
associated with them in the -formulation
of a program for the aid of the
American merchant marine probably
will recommend to President Hard
ing the determination of the amount
of remuneration to be paid to Ameri
can ships by a differential based on a
combination of speed, tonnage and
distance covered.
This plan is the third of three al
ternatives suggested in the prelimin
ary report of the experts presented
to the board during the last week.
The preliminary report stated that
a majority of the committee favored
a differential based on a percentage
of the pay roll. This was the first
of the three alternatives enumerated,
the second in the list being a differ
ential based on gross tons.
To Work Out New Plan.
Following the conferences between
th experts and members of the
board, the sentiment has turned
against the use of the first plan. In
revising the plan for submission to
the conference scheduled for Janu
ary S, the experts intend to work out
the third plan in greater detail.
The plan which is given prefer
ence provides for the payment to
an American ship of a certain num
ber of cents per gross ton for each'
100 miles steamed in the foreign
trade. For speeds up to 14 knots
this rate is constant, beyond that
point it varies with the square of
the speed. It is proposed to increase
the rate in this manner in order to
place a premium on speed. This is
to compensate for the greatly . in
creased cost of operation of the high
speed Vessels suitable for carrying
the mails in time of peace or for
use as naval auxiliaries in time of
war.
Plan Simple.
In behalf of this plan it is claimed
that it is logftal and simple and
would encourage the building and
maintaining of vessels suited for use
as naval auxiliaries. A separate
postal subvention would be unneces
sary under this scheme, such as -proposed
if other methods of determin
ing the differential were employed.
The funds would come out of 10
per cent of the customs receipts.
The rate of remuneration under the
differential based on speed, tonnage
and distance covered would be such
as would provide for the payment to
American ships annually of approxi
mately $18,750,000 to make up -for
the difference in. operating costs of
American and British ships, plus
$8,000,000 which the Postoifice de
partment considers sufficient for en
couraging the construction and in
suring the operation of a sufficient
cumber of passenger vessels of size
and speed suitable for carrying mail.

Measure Authorizing U. S.
Representatives to Discuss
Allied Dcbls May Replace
The Present Bill
Course Is Still in Doubt
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINQ.
thlcufO Tribune-Omaha Be laaed Wirt,
Washington, Dec. 26. Abandon
ment of the pending bill authorizing
the appointment of a commission to
handle the refunding of foreign loans
ind substitution of a measure grant
ing authority to American represen
tatives to join with delegates from
other nations in a general interna
tional economic conference may be
approved by the administration.
Refunding of the foreign debt
would be the principal task of the
economic conference. Other ques
tions which the American delegates
probably would be authorized to con
sider will be the stabilization of in
ternational exchange and various
economic issues involved in trade re.
btions between the different coun
tries, also the financing of European
purchases from the United States.
If such a measure is presented to
congress, it may include a stipulation
that American representatives would
have no authority to agree to the
cancellation of any part of the prin
cipal or interest of the foreign- in
debtedness. Congress has indicated
that its sentiment is strongly against
any cancellation, and a restriction of
this nature probably would be in
sisted upon. . .
. Course Under Discussion.
Whether President Harding should
take the initiative in extending an in
vitation to other countries to join
in sucn a general conference is one
of the matters that is under dis
cussion. Some of the administration
advisers believe it would be prefera
ble to have the debtor nations take
the initiative. Accordingly, the meas
ure to be presented to congress may
not request the president to issue in
vitations for the conference, but in
stead authorize him to appoint dele
gates to such a gathering'with au
thority to undertake the refunding of
foreign' loans and deal with other
financial and economic questions.
Many of the republican congres
sional leaders believe that it would
be desirable that such a conference
should be held in Washington.- -If
the . invitations a.re. issued, by an
other ctiury, however, ? might be
held in Europe.
Bill Stranded in Senate.
The administration foreign loan
refunding bill is stranded in the sen
ate finance committee. The bill was
passed by the house with numerous
amendments, accepted by the admin
istration, lhe senate finance com
mittee added still other amendments,
the restrictions placed upon the pro
posed commission finally being so
numerous that Secretary of the
.treasury Mellon notified the' com
mittee that the administration felt
that it was almost useless to press
the bill further, unless some of the
amendments were dropped. ":.
Conferences are in progress be

Washington, Dec. 26. Agreement
of the five powers on limitation of
submarine tonnage may not be pos
sible at the Washington conference.
Prospect of agreement on the com
promise proposal submitted by the
American government Saturday was
not imminent tonight, although those
who have hoped that a satisfactory

A probable impasse on the issue

of a future conference which might

Moore Is Found
Guilty by Jury
Of Manslaughter
Verdict Reached Aftijr Five
Hours' Deliberation; Pen-
alty is One to Ten
Years.
George Moore was found guilty of
manslaughter by a jury in Judge Cul
lison's court last night after deliber
ating five hours. The jury went out
yesterday afternoon at 4.
Moore was charged with first de
gree murder in connection with the
part he played in the police raid and
gun ; battle at the Lena Schneider
farm last October.
Monday was devoted to the argu
ments of the attorneys. All of the
evidence and the arguments following
very closely the lines in the Eva
King case.
Instruction Not Long.
Judge Cullispn's instructions, while
not so lengthy as in the King case,
laid greater str-ess upon the presence
of the accused in the bandit cottage
and the evident purpose of the mem
bers of the desperate gang making
the cottage their headquarters, the
court holding that it need not be
shown that Moore actually took part
in the murder of Robert Murray to
warrant a first degree murder ver
dict. Mrs. Schneider Present.
Mrs. Lena Schneider, owner of the
bandit farm, spent the day in court.
She appeared to manifest more in
terest in Moore than 'in either Bullis
or Mrs. King. .
The refusal of Moore's counsel to
put their client on the stand was re
gretted by the state, for it would
have given County Attorney Swan
son the opportunity to show that
Moore is a habitual criminal, with
five prison termm his record. When
questioned by County Attorney
Swanson and others after his arrest
here Moore frankly stated that it
had been so long since he used his
real name that he had actually for
gotten what it was. While still a
boy he served a term in a reforma
tory. It has been learned that he is
a native of Kentucky, but facts con
cerning his family are not known
