V. Halllday, n broker St.Louis whose firm recently went into bankruptcy wth liabilities of over ?140,000, confessed early according to the police, that he had counterfeited $1,500,000 in interim certificates upon the French government and that he hud passed $03,000 worth of them on St. Louis hanks in an effort to liquidate his losses. Harry Turner, editor of a bimonthly magazine here, and Paul Murphy, a magazine solicitor, are held in connection with the case. All three were arrested Thursday night. A federal warrant charging lialluTuy and Turner with counterfeiting obligations of the French government was Waned Friday. Murphy was not named in the wurrant and he probubly will be released, it was said. Iu his confession, jxdice say, Halllday claims be hnd placed $43,000 in certificates with one bank und an additional &M.0OO in another bunk. Halliday said he had borrowed approximately $32,000 when he gave out $".2..'ioo of the certificates which In turn were secured by $43,000 in certificates. At the present time Halliday Is under seven Indictments based on allegations that he had accepted money for securities and that he failed to deliver them. The confession, as given out by police, In part states: "I nlono am guilty of the'eCTfe aft fair.

Police say Turner had the plate made for n border of the bonds at Hallidny's suggestion nnd tit a cost of $1000. This plate was later used to make the certificates which Halliday floated. Th.e discovery of the forged certifi cates was mude by a clerk In the Morgan Arm's office, authorities here say, and local federal agents were In formed that n plnte for the bonds had been made here.

The problem of nava' limitation, left in the background while Far Bactern negotiations ar developing the policies of the powers toward China, has buen advanced to 8 point were It may soon resume t place of predominating Interest in ttu arms conference. It was indicated Saturday that botr the American and British experts ha'. virtually completed their work on de. tails of the American plan, and woulo he ready to report early next week Japanese experts had no similar an nouncement, but It wus assumed the: would not permit themselves to b put in the pos"ou of seriously de laying progress.

The Americans ar declared to be well satisfied with the. progress In the Far Eastern negotiations. ut Impatient to get the navai negotiations out of committee. Another of China's problems reach, ed a virtual "agreement In principle"' nt a sesion of the committee of tht whole Saturday, devoted to a decision of maintenance of foreign postofflces and postal systems on Chinese soil The delegates all agreed there should be a withdrawal of the foreign postal machinery when conditions warrant, and a subcommittee headed by Senator Ixtdge, drew up for later formal adoption a declaration of iirinciple under which each power would Investigate conditions and withdraw when It considered It practical. The report Is to be presented to the full committee soon, nnd another subcommittee will present a resolution declaring for a gradual alolitlon ot the extra tentorial rights in Ch'n-when China's Judicial machinery warrants. It Is' expected that the d!sa!ch of an international commission of Jur Ixn to China to study the situation will be recommended In the report and agreed to by the conference. In the discussion of the postat question, the Jaiwnese are understood to have expressed serious doubt whether prerent iostal facilities of China would fully meet the demands made on them should foreign systems withdraw.

Fundamentally und In the practical time to heiTr from their '"government. of the association of nations The Japanese delegates, it wns sain, workings It will not differ from the league of nadid not object to January 1, 1023, u the date for abandoning their postof. tions.

This was learned on highest authority as the naval- armanent committee of the arms conference met to discuss this situation. Admiral Karon Kato, minister of the Japanese navy, is expected to announce the Japanese decision nt the meeting Wednesday. The entire question of japan's insistence on an increased ratio in capital ships will be thrown Into the anus conference for settlement. The naval experts of the United States and Japan have reached n deadlock on Japan's demands for an increase of ten per cent in capital ship tonnage over that allowed in the Hughes proposal, and the question will be taken up in the meeting of the committee on ilimituton of armament. Ths meeting probubly may be n featuring point in the history of tne conference. Despite- - the fact that naval experts ore at loggerheads, it Is officially believed that a sentiment will be reached on the Jananese clums to a tonnage of 70 per eeut us great as that of the United States and Great Britain. A settlement rests in the hands of Secretary of State Hughes, Admiral Baron, Kato and Arthur J. Balfour, the heads of the American, Japanese and British delegations and it is believed that the nuthortative prediction that an agreement will be reached is based on tontive understandings reached lu recent luforuinl conferences between these three leaders. The situation Is believed to be' that Secretary Hughes Is tired of the of the naval experts and their failure to agree, and lias decided to take the matter in his own hands again to force the question to a settlement. January without referring the mutter to Tokio The nine powers committee deferred final action until later on the que, tion of extra territorial rights in China. The prinlciple of closing foreign courts In China, It was said, was agreed to, but consideration of the formal resolution went over. Chinese representatives ut Monday's meeting brought up the domestic control of Chlmj railways. The question, however went over for consideration nt another meeting of the nine powers Tuesday. The Chinese railway question, to Chinese representatives, would necessarily Involve the matter of Shantung, which is regarded as one of the big. problems with which the Washington conference may have to deal, so far as Far Eastern affairs are concerned.'

If we want to go into this kind of a proposition there is no reason why we should not experiment with the oua they have. It is claimed by the advocates of the league that the present league has been of service to Europe. If so, there is no reason for asking Europe to scrap the old league and try a new one. If we are going into Europe we ought to go In. If we are not, we ought not to be handing her a new league every ' ninety days. Sie will likely conclude that after the next presidential election she would have another league. I see no difference whatever In joining the present league and Joining a new league by another nameThe United States operates under a written constitution. Great r.ritain has no written constitution. One or the arguments being put forth now in favor of the association of nations is that Mr. Wilson made a mistake in gtv-in- g his plun a written constitution that we should adopt the I'.ritisli idea and undertake to conduct the league or any association wilhuut any written constitution or written covent whatever, In other words, that the new association will consist of representatives of different governments coming together with no limitation upon tlietr jurisdiction or power or authority or other than their own discretion. A conclave of diplomats sitting behind closed doors with nothing to direct or limit their powers save their own wilt and discretion would be a rather proposition. I oni Inclined to think that If the American people choose a league they will choose one which has Its powers defined, or at least make an attempt to define them, rather than trust their destiny to the unbridled discretion of n few men. Lloyd George suggested some time ago, according to the press dispatches, that the alliance be extended to the ese alliance and that thla alliance take upon Itself the duty of administering China. Now, It is snld, that such an alliance would be wholly objectionable to the American people, but that under an association of nations the same thing could be effectunted and It Is also tietng urteu accomplishedthat while the people of the United Stataes would not be willing to form an nll'nnce with France and Great Britain to guarantee the security of France, the same thing could be nc. complied under on association of nations without any eont'tut!on. It Is also urged that the International debt could be more successfully manipulated through the nssoc'at'on. All of whleh th'ngs simply disclose that the associations Is pnotiier nsmc for the league with some ndd't'onl nnd more extcnlve powers annexed. It does not appear ns yet hetber we ore to have two leagues or "ne le.nriie. and one nssoc'at'on or whTicr to be that the league organised by Mr. Wilson will be merged into b itsoc!atlon onmn'ied bv President fl irillcg.
