PAGE TWELVE THE SELMA T1MES-JOURNAL, SUNDAY, DEC 28, 1924 I I SAYS BRITISH OUT TRADED U. S. HELD IN BAIL FOR KIDNAPING CHILD ITIGEMT EVACUATION (Continued from Page One) MEMPHIS, Dec. 27 As-serting that British statesmen "outtraded the United States in the negotiation of the limitation of armaments agreement under the Harding administration. Senator Kenneth D.
McKellar, declared In a statement here tonight that the American navy should be second to none in the world. The Tennessee senator said the difference in the elevation of the British and American naval guns precludes the possibility of equality in the sea forces of the two coun tries which, he asserted, was "the professed purpose of the agreement." Senator McKellar declared himself in favor of elevating guns on American battleships Immediate ly. "Our capital ships are still com paratively valueless, not being able to shoot from two to 'five miles as fat us British vala guns perhaps not as far ns those of Japan," the senator said. That President Harding and Secretary Hugh' i were out-traded hy the English diplomats is of course certain. "We shor'd olevate our guns and make our navy the equal of Great Britains, according to the true intent of the agreement.
That would ke it almost absolutely certain that the two countries would never go to war and with Great Britain and America acting in con art, no other nation could afford to go to war without their approval."

POTTSVILLE, Deo. 27.
Earl Silknitter and bis wife, Martha, were licld in $1,000 bail, by Alderman Davies today, charged with kidnaping the two and one half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell E. Steinllng, from Olrard Manor, near Mahonoy City, six months ago. The Stelmllngs at present have in their custody a child found abandoned in Camden, N.
whom they claim to be their lost son. but who Mrs. silknitter claims to be her bah.v. Jackie Duff. Howard H.
Koch, Mrs. Stelmiingg father, swore out the warrant on which the Silknittere were arrested in an effort to settle In court the Identity of the child. Mrs. Silknitter has admitted abandoning her baby in Camden at the time the baby now held by the Stelmllngs was found. Officials of the Western Temporary Home in Philadelphia have confirmed her parentage of a boy of that age who was at the home for two years while hls mother was employed there as a laundress, prior to her marriage to Silknitter, who was Janitor at the home.
The couple went to Allentown after being married and rented a room, bringing Mrs. Sllknltter's boy with them. The landladys suspicions were aroused when they went away with him shortly before the time tile baby now in possession of the Stelmllngs was found at Camden, an returned without the child. ing himself that he never' makes a mistake about women, and he understands them not at all. You and I know that when a man has something disagreeable to go through and that was what Alice's death meant to him John Alden Prescott he simply gets through with it with as little fuss as possible.
He doesn't want any tone outside to help, and more than all else he does not want any outside sympathy. His whole desire is to get it over and oft his mind as soon as possible. He doesnt even want to talk about it for fear he will remember it a little longer than is necessary. Besides, you know, Mrs. Burke, that Mr.
Prescott did not like Alice and I think he thought if he were home he might say something that would hurt Leslie more than if he stayed away. Do not misunderstand me. I am writing no brief for John Alden PPrescott. I am almost sure had I been Leslie I would have broken with him then and there. I would not have done, however, what Leslie is doing.
I would not have gone away to eat my heart out in solitude and sorrow. I have the greatest sympathy for Leslie, and I acknowledge her rightness in most matters. She is looking at the thing only from a woman's viewpoint now, however, and in this case, though, I think she is wrong. BETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON TO RUTH 151' REE My Dear Mrs. Burke: 1 hope you Kill pardon my writing to you and ihat you will take this letter in the tame spirit in which it is written.
1 assure you that I would never unite it if 1 did not think you would understand what I am going to say better than moat women I know. I am really at my wits end and I can only turn to you to help me. Do you think that Leslie is ever going to forgive Mr. Prescott? If she is not going to do so, she had better tell him so immeditely and get the break over as soon as possible, lie is at present no good io this business, himself, nor anything nor anybody. Yes, I quite agree with you, I icnow he is only getting what is coming to him, but that does not straighten out things here at the plant.
He keeps everyone on the jump down here with his orders one minute which he countermands the next. He doesnt seem able to think consecutively and he seems to have lost all that great constructive ability which I have admired in him much in the past. Honestly, Mrs. Burke, I do not think that Mr. Prescott realized that his absence at the time of Leslies sisters death could make any particular difference to her.
He is one of those men that is always flatter matter before a final decision is reached. The French and Belgians regarded he alleged discoveries of newly prepared parts for 40,000 machine guns, camouflaged in various ways, as alarming. Surprises Diplomat The stiff attitude of the French government, which favored an immediate decision that the Cologne bridgehead be held indefinitely pending absolute compiance with the Versailles treaty by Germany, surprised the diplomats in view of the fact that Premier Herriots foreign policy has been based largely on a Franco-German entente. Socialists Back Ilerriot The socialist organ here which are supporting the Herriot government, back up the premier strongly in his firm stand, although the press generally considers that the exposure of Germanys persistence i Ignoring hro agreement to disarm has greatly weakened the position of the French government because of the confidence on which it had banked upon the disposition of the Germans to reach a complete entente with France. UP AND DOWN THE TOWN WASHINGTON, Dec.
27 Protesting against increases in second class mail rates provided in the administration measure designed to meet salary raises for postal employes. Representatives of the American Newspaper Publishers Association proposed to a joint congressional postoffice committee today that they be permitted to draft a rate scale to cover the cost of their use of the postal service. Object to Haste The publishers entered vigorous objection to the haste with which they contended congress was treating a problem important alike to the newspapers and the public. They said insufficient time had been given for the study for the cost ascertainment report of the postoffice department on which the proposed rate increases are based and that if given lime they would draft a schedule which in their judgment would more nearly meet the equities No Formal Action While individual members expressed interest in the publishers otter, the committee took no formal action. Chairman Moses announced the hearings would be pressed early next weetc with a view to presentation of a report to the senate committee in time for tlie reporting of the administration bill to the senate before PPresident Coolldges veto of the postal pay bill is taken up January under a unanimous consent agreement.
Cut Rural Circulation Denouncing the proposed Increase In second class rates spokesmen for the publishers association insisted that the administration bill would curtal rural circulation of newspapers and at the same time fail to bring in additional revenue to the government. S. E. Thomason, of Chicago, president of the association, declared the increase would put one class "the rural readers of metropolitan and other city publications. Only about ten papers he estimated would be able to absorb the proposed increase while other newspapers would be forced to pass it in to the subscribers.
"We have an off-peak load regular and continuous, for the postoffhbe department, Mr. Thomason said, "and we feel we should receive a preferential rate as other concerns give similar business. Graduated Scale Mr, Thomason approved the theory of a suggestion by Representative Kelly, republican, Pennsylvania, for a graduated scale of rates on second class mail, fixed so that larger papers with greater circulation would be taxed heavier. Elisha Hanson, Washington representative of the association, and Jerome D. Barnum of Syracuse, N.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR SALTVILLE DEAD SALTVILLE, Dec. 27.
Funeral services for the dead, a never ending but fruitless search for those still missing; treatment and care for the injured in the emergency hospital here, were the wearisome loads under which the heartsick people of Saltvllle labored today as the culmination of one of the disasters at Saltvllle on Christman eve when thousands of ton of slimy, burning, white muck ran over barrier, snuffing out the lives of 22 and leaving the horror stricken survivors to search for eight which are still missing.

The argument was presented that should congress vote the Increases recommended by the postoffice department it would find it necessary to revise them downward within two years because the revenues of the department are increasing sufficiently on the present rate structure to provide for the salary increases within that time.

(AP) The bill for the reform of the electoral law, which has been distributed to the deputies, is preceded by a report from Premier Mussolini, in which, after enumreating the chief changes provided for by the measure, the premier says: "The electoral aystem applied to the election last April had its legitimate origin in the special circ*mstances of the moment. It aimed at having the votes of the electors converge not on individuals, but on an entire party, this representing a kind of bill of indemnity for what the fascist government and fascismo in general had accomplished since October, 1922. The trial was superbly successful; it showed that the instrument was perfectly adapted to the object desired. "Today the situation is changed. Today the proposition must be offered to the people to vote not only for or against the flag, but also for or against those who fly that flag, which is of secondary importance- The government therefore, wras guided not by designs of exclusive electorate order, but by lofty considerations of political and moral order.
