LONDON GLOOMY OVER CONFERENCE LONDON, Nov. 5—In contrast with previous optimism, government circles were in deepest gloom today over the prospects for the proposed international reparations conference. It was learned at the foreign office that Great Britain has instructed Lord Crewe, British ambassador to Paris, to make the utmost efforts to induce Premier Poincaré to mobilise his terms and to make the inquiry a free one. The British ambassador was told to point out of the French premier that opinion in Washington and London regards the French restrictions as nullifying the value of the conference. It is understood that Italy is strongly protesting against the French terms. This aligns England, Italy and the United States against the French conditions. France has the support of Belgium and her strategic position. Saturday, Nov. 10th LONG BEACH Carnival of States Under Auspices of the Federation of State Societies and Long Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Laiteton, for years U.S. naturalization examiner, who was charged by the government with wholesale frauds in the naturalization of foreigners, stood completely exonerated today following his dramatic acquittal late last night in federal court by the jury which spent two months in hearing the evidence in the case. The verdict of acquittal came after seven hours' deliberation. He was tried on 33 counts and it required several minutes to read the verdict acquitting him on each count. It was not until the final one had been read that the defendant knew his fate. He sobbed as he thanked the jurors. U. S. PESSIMISTIC OVER CONFERENCE WASHINGTON, Nov. 5—Now withstanding evidences of cardinal support from Great Britain, Belgium and Italy, there was only deepest pessimism in Washington today concerning the fete of America's latest proposal to help Europe thrue the agency of a reparations conference. "France still blocks the way," was the only official comment obtainable this morning on Premier Poincaré's Sunday utterances, in which he revealed that the French government has not receded an inch in the obstinate stand it has taken toward the proposed conference. It remains to be seen whether French opposition to this new move to determine how much reparations Germany is capable of paying can wobstand the combined pressure of Britain, Belgium, Italy and the United States, to whose help in 1917-18 France owes her commanding position on the continent today. The fate of the proposed conference probably will be decided within the next 48 hours, according of officials here. Certainly, they believe, the end of the week will determine whether the new conference is to be held, or whether Germany is to be allowed to plunge deeper in the abyss of ruin and national disintegration.

Bonar Law was the first British premier since William Edward Blackstone to be honored by an abbey burial.

There were two services. The first was conducted at St. Columbia Presbyterian church which Bonar Law attended. The ashes had rested in this church since the cremation on Saturday. The ceremony at St. Columbia was brief. Only intimate friends and relatives attended. The funeral procession left St. Columbia or Westminster Abbey at 10:50 clock. The route to the abbey was lined with people. Altho the deceased statesman was a "man who had walked with kings," the working classes felt they had lost friend. They showed this sentiment by the tribute they paid. All the men removed their hats, many women in the throng wept. The coffin arrived at the Abbey shortly before noon.

In the past 12 months 46,000 new consumers have been added to our books. At the outset of 1923 our sales department was given a quota of 125,000 horsepower in new business to be secured during the year. This entire quota was absorbed by Aug. indications now are 200,000 horsepower lines before Christmas." Recent rate reductions by the railroad offer us a splendidity to build up what is known as 'off peak' is the fourth consequence in rates since 1915; prices are now lower pre-war period. The rates will encourageers in the greater use saving appliances, and to build up a tremendous along these lines in 12 months.

BEGIN TRIALS OF NAVAL OFFICERS SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5.—Courts martial of the 11 high naval officers charged with responsibility for the Point Honda disaster—the worst in the war or peace time history of the American navy—got under way here at 10 o'clock this morning. Captain K. II. Watson, son of an American admiral of civil war fame and himself possessing a spotless record of 23 years service as an officer in the navy, was first placed on trial. Captain Watson was in command of the squadron and he it was who personally gave the fatal premature order for change of course which sent seven crack destroyers to their doom with the loss of 23 lives of bluepackets, he testified, at the previous court of inquiry. Lieutenant Commander George L. Wild, squadron communication officers who was stationed on the flagship Delphy with Captain Watson, was the first witness called by the prosecution. He told of the receipt of radio compass bearings from the Point Arguello land station—correct reports which the Delphy navigators believed incorrect, and the ignoring of which was one of the primary causes of the catastrophe. Commander Donald T. Hunter, captain of the Delphy, and who, with Lieutenant Lawrence Blodgett, also of the flagship, conferred as navigators with Captain Watson and agreed on the position of the squadron and the disastrous change of course landward, followed Lieut. Commander Wild on the stand, being called by the prosecution. To a civilian the procedure of the court martial appeared strange, since the prosecution has without ado called as material witnesses the very officers who are in turn to be court martialed. Hunter and Blodgett, witnesses against Watson, are themselves, with Watson, charged with "culpable inefficiency, negligence and unskillful seamanship." The other eight officers to be court martialed are charged with neglect in navigating their vessels. Vice Admiral Henry A. Wiley, president of the court, said this morning that in his opinion it will take two or three weeks to dispose of the cases, each defendant being individually tried. $50,000 DEMANDED A Lot Today Will Be A Dividend Payer In Cash Health and Contentment A Means To $50,000 DEMANDED IN AUTO WRECK Damages of $51,150 are asked of A. W. Rutan of Santa Ana in new and separate suits filed today by Sophie and Joseph Schwartz following an auto collision on Nov. 26, 1922. The previous suit was a joint one. Schwartz alone asks $1150 for injuries, doctor's charges, etc. His is an amended complaint. Mrs. Schwartz asks a total of $40,000, alleging that the accident took place while she was in a delicate condition and resulted in a death that she was incapacitated as a mother and that she suffered severe injuries and mental distress. The accident happened on the Anaheim road while the plaintiffs were driving in a northwestier direction from Huntington Beach. The Schwartz's allege that they were driving in a careful manner and that the defendant was not. The former joint suit of the couple was dismissed so that the new actions could be brought. CHARGES DESERTION Suit for divorce was filed today by Esther McGill thru her attorneys, Tipton & Callor, against Robert E. McGill, alleging desertion. The couple were married in Los Angeles Aug. 2, 1917, and he left her on June 11, 1922, she alleges. There is no community property and they have no children. Plain Dealer Ads Always Bring Results was absorbed by August 1st, and indications now are that over 200,000 horsepower in new business will be brought on to our lines before Christmas. "Recent rate reductions authorized by the railroad commission offer us a splendid opportunity to build up what is technically known as 'off peak load.' This is the fourth consecutive reduction in rates since 1921, and our prices are now lower than in the pre-war period. The new lighting rates will encourage housekeepers in the greater use of labrissaving appliances, and we expect to build up a tremendous business along these lines in the coming 12 months. Lower power rates will also be of material assistance in securing agricultural and industrial business. Additional revenues without a proportionate additional investment in facilities is an ideal condition for any organization, and that is just what we are now facing under new rates, which will lead to a wider use of our commodity among existing consumers."
