debated problem of Shpntung to

America’s Plan.
Washington, Nov. 30. —Details of
the American plan for limitation of

at a brief meeting of the subcommit
tee of naval experts of Great Britain.
The session was adjourned shortly
after 11 o'clock and it then was said
there would be no other meeting of
the subcommittee today and that It
had not been determined whether dis
cussions would be resumed tomorrow.
Naval Ratio Discussed.
There also was no Indication that
the full committee of naval experts,
Including the officers of the French
and Italian navies, had been called.
It is generally expected that when the
experts of the three powers reach a
point where they cannot proceed fur
ther until the conference has decided
the fundamental question of fleet ra
tip M between the United States and
Japan that the full naval expert com
mntee will he assembled and will
then make Its report to the naval com
mtttee of the conference.
In (American circles there had ap
peared to, be a feeling that today
might bring the discussion of fhe na
val ratio question to a head so far
an the experts were concerned. There
was no Indication that such a stage
had been reahced, however, when the
Subcommittee adjourned.

whose naval experts argue that if
both Prance and Italy have a fleet
equal to that of Japan the combined
fleets would surpass that of Kngland.

QUESTION OF FARE WILL
BE DECIDED LATER
i
With Over One Hundred Local
Stockholders* Pulling For It,
There is Every Indication Line
Will Prove to be a Paying
Proposition.
At. 12:01 o’clock this morning the
City & Suburban Railway. Company's
physical, property passed into the
hatids of the Bnnswick and Interur
ban Railway Company, which com
pany will, in future, operate the
street car system of the city.
The stockholders of the new com
pany held a meeting yesterday morn
ing and arranged all details for the
taking over <®f the property and nam
ed Oscar Johennesen as superinten
dent and Hugh Burford auditor, estab
lishing offices in the Michelson build
ing, 1428 street. Other of
ficers were selected some time ago
and are: G. C. Smith, president; J. B.
Abrams, vice president; R. A. Gould,
secretary and treasurer. Mr. Smith,
who is probably more responsible for
the new company than any other one
man. will act in the capacity of man
ager for the time being, at least, and
his experience in larger propositions
will be of great aid in the operation
of the street ransystem. J. M. Arm

has generously offered his services
wlfcpn needed and the thanks of the
company go to him for his generous
gift of services. He has
ed with the system ;i all
thsre Is to know ah >nt It umfwki same
may be said of Mr. Johannesen, who
was with the old company for a long
period.
At the meeting -of the company yes
terday morning the subject of fares
was fully discussed and It was decided
to let ft remain at 7 cents for the
present. A suggestion was made,
which will probably be followed short*
ly, and thdt is the issuance of hooks
of tickets, these to contain as few as
five tickets and be aold* for 25 cents.
This will enable the local citizen to
receive the benefit of a reduced fare
While ' “spasmodic riders’* pay
7 cents. It is thought this an excel
lent solution of the question of fare
and one which will meet the approval
of the line’s patrons.
Beginning this morning the cars
will start at 6 a. m. and stop at 10:30
p. m.. except Saturday, when opera
tion* will continue until 11:30 p. m.
In the meantime many extra trips

BRING OVER FORTY
BUIES SEA ISLAND
Emmeline Will Go to St. Simon
Mills This Morning to Return
With Shipment of Cotton
From Tucker Plantation.
The steamer Emmeline, of the St.
Simon Transit Company, will go over
to St. Simon Mills this morning and
return with a cargo consisting of for
ty bales of sea island cotton. This,
the very best grade of the tteenv sta
ple, comes from the Tucker .arm. near
the old mill site, and will be brought
here for storage and later, shipment.
While the cultivation of cotton in
this section is new at present, there
was a time when Glynn ranked among
the leading sea island cotton grow'ng
counties of the state and led in rice
cultivation. The fertile lands of not
only St. Simon, but the mainland, has
produced thousands of pounds in the
years gone by and it may be that its
cultivation may again make it one of
leading products.
Auother crop which .Mr. Tucker is
raising on a large scale on Ihe island
is sugar cane. Fie has produced a
large quantity of the very best Geor
gia cane syrup and has all the n^cc c
sary equipment for getting out of a
stalk all there Is in it. He is farming
on a large scale and is demonstrating
that this can l*e done just as succesg

(By Associated Press.)
Funchal, Island of Madeira, Nov. 30.
—Former Emperor Charles of Aus
tria-Hungary and former Empress Zi
ta are living quietly In their exile.
Their only guard at the Villa Victoria,
where they reside, is a plain clothes
policeman, who accompanies them
on their journeys about the island to
prevent beggars from bothering them
and to avert other annoyances.
Honored Guests.
Charles and Zita are treated as hon
ored guests by the new governor, Maj.
Aaecio Vorrea Pinto, and the other
Portugese officials. They attend
mass on Sundays and have engaged
Canon Antonio Homen de Gouveia as
their private chaplain. After mass re
cently a few women outside the
church,attempted to kiss Zita’s hands,
thus showing their affection for a
member of the family of Dom Miguel
de Braganza. pretender to the Portu
guese throne.
To Engage Villa.
It Is considered likely that the for
mer royal pair will engage the villa
Victoria for a permanent residence.
The villa adjoins the grounds of the
Palace Hotel, but the exiles do not
mix with the hotel guests. Charles is
taciturn, but Zita is affable and talks
cheerfully to those she meets.
There was some talk of a Portu
guese cruiser being sent here as a
guard ship, to prevent any possible
attempt at escape by the former royal
pair, but thus far none has appeared.
