I Mraca Tribuna-Omaha lira laMd W'lr. Washington, "Dec. 1"). A com promise on the basis of the limita tion of the naval strength of France and Italy is in process of evolution tonight. , France having indicated willing lies to recede provisionally from its original demand for the right to build 10 capital ships, it is not unlike ly the compromise will represent an aggregate capital ship tonnage far short of the 3Sl),0Qp France proposed but considerably above the 175.0 0 suggested by Secretary of State Hughes. The way was paved to a com i romise by instructions cabled to day by M. Briand, the French premier, who is in London, to M. .Warrant, head of the French delega tion. , . Submit Plan Today. M. Sarraut announced tonight that the instructions, setting forth the .ttitude of France toward the ap plication of the naval reduction plan to its navy, will be submitted to the conference committee of IS on naval armament tomorrow. Members of the French delegation explained Ihit the instructions are rot necessarily final. They demon strate, it was asserted, that France decs not intend to stand in the way of the consummation of the plans lor a naval holiday and limitation of naval armaments but does desire consideration of its special needs for adequate defense. At French headquarters it was asserted that the Briand instructions open the way to a speedy adjustment would be accomplished within two or three days. The first news of the attitude of M. Briand which reached Secretary Hughes was contained in a cable . gram from George Harvey, Ameri can ambassador to Great Britain, re porting the results of his talk with the F'rench premier, who reached London yesterday. The Harvey message quoted M. Briand as ready to accept a maximum capital ship tonnage approximating that proposed by Mr. Hughes arid supported by the British, Italian and Japanese delega tions ... 1 . Agreement is Near. One member of the American delegation, after reading. the Harvey cablegram, . expressed the opinion that an agreement on the naval holi day and naval limitation . program essentially as proposed by Mr. Hughes is in sight and that this agreement is likely to be registered at .the meeting of . the armament committee tomorrow. During the afternoon the detailed instructions from M. Briand were received by the French delegation and, after being decoded, were car ried to Mr. Hughes by M. Sarraut. A discussion lasting nearly two hours ensued. It was stated to night that this discussion had brought the two delegates close to an agreement. To permit the negotiations to pro ceed on the basis of the fresh "in structions from M. Briand, the arm ament committee which met at 11 a. m. had adjourned until tomorrow at the request of M. Sarraut. Explain Briand Appeal. The propitiatory attitude of the French- today was the result of the notion of Secretary Hughes in ap pealing directly to M. Briand in pro test against the French demand for the right to build . 10 capital ships aggregating 350,000 tons. That ap peal was made through Ambassa ( r Harvey. When it was reported th members of. the French delegation took exception to the action of Mr. Hughes in going over their heads with an appeal to M. Briand, it was explained by a member of the Amer ican delegation that there - was a thorough understanding betweenthe French premier and the American secretary of state as to such proceed-in- , . , France, however, needs a capital ship tonnage represented by its 1914 program, which was abandoned when the war broke out and which would have given it more than twice its ' present 163,000 tons of big ships.

J926 Will Be Filled With Horrors, Say a Journal of Astrology London. Dee. 19. The year 19.'6 i destined to shake the world lo its foundation, both physically and po litically. It is to be succession of plagues, famine, floods, shipwrecks, rioting and revolution. So ay the British Journal of Astrology, which has drawn tlie heroscope for that year, when the planrts Man and Mercury will be in conjunction, v Six years later the great Arma geddon is to take place. It will be final conflict between Mohamme dans, allied with bolshevisiu against he united Anglo-Saxon world. It will end in a "universal peace" in 1932, but "there will be so few of us left and we shall all be so tired that peace should happen anyhow," the horoscope says. Injunctions On Picketing Are Upheld by Court U. S. Chief Justice Holds Slates Cannot Pass Laws Prohibiting Court Orders. Washington, Dec. 19. States in the exercise of their police power have no authority through legislative action to. prohibit courts from en joining picketing in labor disputes the supreme court held today in a. decision involving an act of Ari zona. In the opinion, on which the court divided, five to four, it was held that the lower courts erred in refusing to" consider an application for an in junction which was sought to restrain certain methods of picketing. Chief Justice Taft delivered the opinion. Justices Holmes, Pitney and Bran deis separately stated dissenting views and Justice Clarke joined in the opinion announced by Justice Pit ney. Exceeds State's Power. "The legislative power of a state can only be exerted in subordina tion to the fundamental principles of right and justice which the guaranty of due process in the 14th amendment is intended to preserve," declared the chief justice, "ajjd that a purely arbitrary or capricious exercise ot that power whereby a wrongful and highly .injurious invasion of property rights, as here, is practically sanc tioned, and the owner stripped of alf real remedy, is wholly at variance with these principles." He stated that illegality of the means used in the present case to drive customers away was "without doubt and fundamental. . . Unlawful Conspiracy. "This makes this plan an unlawful conspiracy," the decision continued, ."the means used are the libelous and abusive attacks on the plaintiff's (em ployer's) reputation, threats of such attacks on would-be customers, pickj- eting and patrolling ot the entrance of their place of business with these accompainments and the consequent obstruction to free access thereto, all with the purpose of depriving the plaintiffs of their business to give operation to a statute whereby ser ious losses inflicted by such unlawful means are irt effect made remediless. The constitution was intended to pre vent experimentation with the funda mental rights of the individual." The chief justice asserted that hold ing the Arizona law invalid would not necessitate holding void section 20 of the Clauton act, relating to im munity of labor organizations from certain laws prohibiting combina tions in restraint of commerce. The construction put upon the Arizona law by the Arizona supreme court makes that law and the federal statue as different "in meaning as if they were in wholly different language," he said. , Woman Faints Four Times Telling of Slaying Husband .'Dallas, Tex., Dec. 19.

Governor McKclvie announced to day he would call a .pecia session of the legislature in February to pass legislation imposing .a tax of cent a Ration on all gasoline uxed m Nebraska and thus relieve the poorer people from paying approx imately $1,000,000 in taxes next year. ., figures were available here for the consumption of gasoline in Ne braska in 1919. It was 78,726.450 gallons. The governor's decision followed reports from several governors at the conference of governors in the cast where such a tax is in operation and where, according to information Governor Mckelvic has, it has been found to be a means of ida'citiff the road construction tax directly on the people benefited, the automobile owners. Says Tax Equitable. "The tax is equitable for the auto mobile owner, too," Governor Mc Kclvie said. "The driver of the heavy truck and the expensive car uses the most gasoline and is harder on the road, so he must pay more tax than the man who has a light car. "Furthermore, such a tax will go far in remitting the present unfair ness ' ot taxation throughout the country because owners of real prop erty must bear the burden as the owners of intangibles keep them hidden and thus escape paying their proper share." The governor said he believed the gasoline tax would meet -next year's appropriations for .. road building and take it altogether from the shoulders of the poor people. The state's share of tax for road con struction in 1922 is approximately $1,000,000. Plan Long Considered. "Such a plan has been in my mind for some time," the governor said, "but it "seemed better to wait until suits brought in other states against the imposition of the gasoline tax were completed in the courts and thus ascertain if it were legal. I learned at the conference that . the gasoline tax has been upheld by the courts." ; ' - ' - . , ; -The governor emphasized ' that every effort would be made to cut legislation passed to the minimum and make the session short. . tie said it was probable that a meeting of business men and bankers might be called before the session opened to endeavor to work out a plan to better the state guaranty act and re lieve, in a degree, the heavy drain on th guarantee fund in the last year caused by numerous bank 'failures. May Ask Capitol Funds. . Als'o, he declared, if it were found that the failure of the legislature to make a special appropriation of $1 ,700,000 for the new capitol might delay the project, he would ask the special session to pass the measure. "However," the governor said, "we were assured by State Auditor Marsh during the session last win ter that the state house bill passed two years ago provided for regular appropriations every two years until the $5,000,000 was raised." Difficulties of conflicting laws discovered by compilers of the Ne braska statutes and state laws which conflict with Nebraska getting full benefit of war finance corporation loans may be wiped out at the ses sion, it was stated. Democrats who began immediate-, ly after the governor's announce ment of a special session to ascer tain its cost, declared it would run from $10,000 to $30,000. Governor Denies Report. The governor also denied a report that he would ask the legislature to repeal the four laws passed by the last session, which are being held up as a result of referendum petitions circulated . by the Nonpartisan league. "There was no such intimation given out by me," he said, "I have no such plan in mind." Nitro Explosion Kills Man When Auto Drops in Rut Oil City, Pa.. Dec. 19.

Dail Eireann Stand on Treaty Still Unsolved Two Lengthy Public Sessions Devoted to Debate Lead ers Unable to Estimate Strength. Dublin, Dec. 19. When the Dail F.ireann adjourned tonight aftcytwo lengthy public sessions -devoted to debate, nothing tangible had de veloped to indicate how members would vote on ratifying the treaty setting up the Irish free state.

Alternative Proposal.

He explained he had done this in an' effort to se cure unanimity in the dail. Speaker MacNeill said Mr. De Valera had requested that the docu ment be regarded as confidential until he put forward his own proposal in the public session. Arthur Grif fith and Michael Collins protested but the speaker said he could not al low debate 011 this point, and Mr. Griffith then moved the ratification of the" treaty.
