THE OSHAWA DAILY REFORMER, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, NUMBERED HOUSE FOR DUKE OF YORK First Royal Hom Home With No Name--145 Piccadilly London, Oct. 20.--A member of tire Reigning House will live in a numbered, and not in a named resi- dence for the first time in English history, when the Duke and Duchess of York move into their new hon.e in Piccadilly. The house will be called "No. 145, Piccadilly," 'and the royal couple will dispense wifi the names which for centuries past have been given to royal residences. The Duke of York's other houses have been White Lodge, Richmond, and Curzon House, Mayfair, while many "of his week-ends have been spent at St. Paul's Waldenbury, the Hertfordshire home of his father- in-law, ithe Karl of Strathmore. It is expected that the house in Piccadilly will be ready for occupa- tion next spring, when the Duke and Duchess come back from their trip to Australia and New Zealand. The house is now being decorated and ous alterations are being made. The Duke and Duchess of York are at present at Glamis Castle.

Harkness, widow Harkness, who died March 27,1926. leaving bequests aggregating $36,- $50,000 to charitable, * educational, religious and other institutions, left an esiate of about $85,000,000. jccording to an inventory prepared for tax purposes hy the executor and made public here. The inventory was revealed fol- lowing the fyling of a petition for the designation of an appraiser of the New York inheritance tax pro- seedings, in the Surrogate Court of New York County, by Murray, Ald- cich and Roberts as attorneys Edward S. Harkness, a son, and ex- scutor of the estate of Mrs. Hark- ness, hate on April 5. More than $16,000,000 is the es- timated amount of inheritance taxes payable by the estate. State taxes nayable to the United States will be ibout $8,000,000. The New York inheritance will be about $3,000. 90% and inheritance taxes payable to various other states in which cor- , porations, issuing stdcks owned by | Mrs. Harkness were organized, will be about $5,000,000. Since the death of her husband | the estate of Mrs. Harkness increas- ed $35,000,000, the inventory shows. The amount is far beyond the earlier estimates of the estate. Not only its great bulk and li- | auidity, but the high character of almost ail the securities composing it contribute to make the estate for which the inventory was fyled one of the most remarkable recorded for vears. Of the entire amount, all ex- cept $1597,204 is in securities, praetie: all of them of wonserva- acter, Among her bond- were Liberty bonds. SOCIETY TURNS TO LOWLY COTTON DRESS holdings Boston, Oct. 20.--While cotton grow- ers of the south are wondering what is to become of the cotton market, Miss Marjorie Holligan of New York, style adviser for the Pacific Cotton mills, ame forward with the.news that so- ciety 1s turning to cotton dresses--a decided ray of hope for the hard- pressed producer of cotton. . The simple little cotton dress, which in Granma's day was scorned by the vell-dressed woman and seldom worn after the housework was done, is fast becoming woman's salvation, she said today while here to attend the con- vention of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. has | awakening of "Cotton as a material for dresses } been neglected," Miss Holligan said. "But now there seems to be an interest in it, and its popularity---with the large purse as well as with the small--is coming fast.

Get More Sensible Wonlen are becoming more and more sensible in regard to dress in the opinion of the styfe adviser. "Nowadays women much prefer the dort of dress that can be put into the wash-tub," she said. "Once upon a time a woman would not think of venturing to the theatre clad in cotton. But it is different now. While at Newport recently 1 noted many society woinei 'earing cotton dresses." It Tooks like a yellow winter, accord- ing to Miss Holligan, as far as the color scheme for women's apparel is concerned. The walllower shades and the nasturtium colors should be popu- lar, she believes, with yellow, irom the golden to near-green shades, being worn extensively. Navy blue and white also should be a popular combination this coming season, in Miss Holligan's opinion. Friends of Rod LaRocque have discovered that he was a member »f the Chicago newshoys' quartette which once was popular about cafes and night clubs. None of the bunch ever sold a newspaper, but each sarried a journal for 'atmosphere' while entertaining.

There is absolute disagreement among the experts on the question which the British dele- gates and others consider of funda- mental importance and that is the method which is to he followed i: | comparing the strength of the var- ious world navies. France and Italy have held per- gistently to thefhesis that the proper way to compare navies is by the to- tal or global tonnage. The great naval powers of Great Britain, the United States and Japan, however, contend that this method is abso- lutely unworkable. They maintain that the proper system is in accord with the Washington Naval Confer- ence whieh held that the compari- son of navies should be pe the ton- nage of warships. The representatives of 'these lat- ter countries insist that the ton- nage placed into cruisers or submar- ines is of vital importance and that unless some specific understanding of this nature is achieved the com- ing conference wiil have completely failed. Britain's Problem. Great Britain is particularly in- terested in the cruiser and submar- ine programs of Italy and Fance; first, "because of the narrowness of the English Channel, and secondly, Because of her interests in the Medi. terranean which is her sea route to India and other British dominions. For this reason it will be éxceeding- ly difficult for Great Britain to en- ter a three-power agreement with the United States and Japan on naval jimitation. France and Italy the British believe, also should be par ties to such a pact. But a separate naval pact is im- possible in the opinion of Italy and #rance, who hold that disarmament a global problem which cannot be treated in separate parts. They also hold that naval, limitation i= essen- tially . linked with .the question ol and limitation-as well as air limita. tion, In addition to these differences of apinion, the conference will always | he endangered by the absence of Russia from the negotiations. Tt is considered likely that, the neighbors of Russia, like Poland, Rumania and Finland, will hesitate to reduce their land armaments without some 8in:- nltaneous agreement with the Soviet for a proportionate reduction. The sencral prediction at Geneva is that these countries will tell the confefr- ance that they must stand pat with their present armaments, with the possibility that they will increase the efficiency of their ex- isting forées. Another Element. Another important element enter- ing into the negotiations is the fear cn the part of the states like France, zecho-Slovakia, Poland, Rumania and Jugo-Slavia, concerning the ter. ritories which they acquired during the World War. Security to these countries means the ability to hold these lands against powerful! states jike Germany and Russia, which may some day be in a position to re- claim them. One ray of hope Dblossibly may solve the conference and that is the desire of European countries gener- ally to reduce their economic and financial burdens. Already this de- ¢ire has found expression in a con- ciderable reduction in the officers of the French army. So vitally neces- sary is it for Europe to trim down its unproductive expenditures that some leaders believe that at the last mo. ment countries will come forward and offer to contribute some suk- stantial reduction, in the general cause of lessening armaments. Meanwhile the: United States is felt to have a direct interest in oh- taining a naval agreement because of British superiority in cruisers and the fact that the Japanese cruiser program exceeds that of the United States. Tt is not believed here that United States mecessarily Wants to keep up with Great Britain, but that it would like to have set up some level of cruiser and submaripe strength beyond which Great Bri- tain and Japan would not go. LORD SOMERSET'S LEGACY TO DUKE London, Oct. 20.--The late Lorl Arthur Somerset, whose home was in France, left English estate value £16,960. He left 5.000 francs to his French cook, and all his Emnglish property, with the exception of two annuitiss of £500 and £160, to his nephew, the present Duke of Beaufort. Lord Arthur Somerset was form- erly major in the Royal Horse Guards, and was seventy-five years of age.

Johnson, a Minneapolis attorney, Fo was slain in a cigar gtore at 218 John R. strect Saturday might. Discovery of the pocket and its con- tents was made Sunday when Detective Lieutenant William Mitchell made a minute search of the victim's effects in an endeavor to find.some clue to the identity of the slayer, who escaped aftér sending 80 copper slugs from a sawed-off shotgun into Johnson's body. Revenge Believed Motive Johnson's possession of so much money strengthens an idea that re- venge was the motive for his death, and also lends weight to a police the- ory that he was a habitue of gambling establishments. Officers working on Norfolk, Va., Oct. 20.--Walter Winner, a fisherman, landed a 500- pound turtle at Fort Fisher, N.C., Friday after a long fight and a wild ride on its back. The turtle's back was covered with oysters and barn- acles. ! Winner approached the turtle in 4 boat. . When near the monster, the man leaped, landing on the turtles back. His knees were pressed hard against the roughened shell at its lower extremities while his fingers were clamped under the shell at its upper edge. By pressing downward with his knees and pulling upward with = his hands he prevented the turtle from diving. The resug: was that the turtle thrashed around in the ocean, churning the water whige and covering much space' without going any great distance, Winner said he would not bave been able to have halted the turtle had he headed for the open sea and that had his direction continued straight out h¢ would have been obliged to have ahanidgned him. 'But fortunately for the man the turtle did not realize any sense of direction the case consider it possible that some disgruntled associate in a gambling | deal may have committed the crime. It is equally possible, however, they say, that the shot was intended for Charles Dubey, who operates a racing handbook at the cigar store and who! was sitting behind Johnson at a card ! table in the rear room of the place when the slayer opened fire. The slayer, after slipping past a clerk and into the card room, had asked for Dubey and then drawn the gun from under his coat. Wire Is Unanswered Detroit authorities, who wired Min- neapolis police immediately after the | slaying and asked information concern- ing Johnson, are still awaiting a reply. | | His identity was established by his per- sonal effects, which included letters | and a card bearing his photograph. Up to Sunday night no one had attempt- ed to view Johnson's body at morgue. THINKS 1.5. HAVING "ROYALTY SPASM" England Shows Interest in "Queen Marie's American : Tour London, Oct. 20.--Great interest is being shown in England in what s referred to as 'America's royalty spasm," as displayed in the, plans of Rumania.
