Quincy, Mass.Pictou, N.S., Feb.3.\u2014Police stood guard over the Bowen homestead here today as Chief James Mac-Landers awaited orders to search for Harry Riddell\u2019s money and a blood-stained suit believed to have been worn by youthful John Alfred Bowen the night the Quincy, Mass., baker was murdered.Bowen, seventeen year old native ct Pictou who returned here after the crime, was taken back to Massachusetts on an order for extradition granted by Judge George Patterson to face a charge of murder.Yesterday Chief MacLanders was informed that the youth had confessed, stating that he had buried Riddell\u2019s money in the yard of his parents\u2019 residence in Pictou and his own suit in the cellar.But the chief\u2019s information was unofficial, and he said he would not touch anything until he received official orders.Meanwhile the house and premises are being watched closely in case somebody else might start a search for the money.Riddell was struck down in his bakery on Hallowe\u2019en night.After Bowen returned to Pictou he was arrested on a technical charge of vagrancy and held until the extradition order was granted.His confession yesterday implicated John T.Daly of Quincy and that youth also is charged with murder.that the present political and economic system has proved a failure to correct those evils and we must look for some remedy.sor to Mr.Justice

Issues.Geneva, February 3.\u2014The world disarmament conference yesterday began its second year with a striking exhibition of a disagreement between France and Germany over the essential conditions for realization of a genuine reduction of the -world's fighting forces.Taking up the French plan, the delegates heard Count Rudolph Nadolny, spokesman for the German Chanceler, Adolf Hitler, flatly reject a fundamental principle of this scheme, namely, that disarmament must go arm in arm with the establishment of additional guarantees for international security.After asserting that the League of Nations covenant had pledged the nations to a progressive disarmament as the best way of maintaining peace and guaranteeing security of all states, Count Nadolny expressed regret that the French plan did not contain concrete proposals for genuine qualitative nor quantitative disarmament, and that it provided no means for a limitation of war material.\u201cThe indispensable and urgent task of this conference,\u201d he said HITLER FORCES SHOW DEFIANCE TO COMMUNISTS COATICOOK MAN FATALLY HURT LAST EVENING LEAGUE URGES BOLIVIA AND PARAGUAY TO CEASE FIGHTING Verdict of Accidental Death Returned at

last evening.An inquest held b, Leonidas Bachand, coroner for St.Francis District, resulted in a verdict of \u201caccidental death.\u201d Boucher, employed by Pierre Boucher, trucker, was unloading logs in the yard of the Gilmore Chair Company, which is controlled by Kilgour Ltd., of Beauharnois, when the accident occurred.According to the testimony of Adrien Peloquin, 19, of St.Edwidge, who was working with Boucher at the time, six logs had been unloaded, and Boucher was standing on top of the pile in the truck when the lumber loosened and slid off.Boucher fell to the ground and a heavy-log rolled across him.He sustained a fractured back.Dr.Birs, of Coaticook, was called to the scene of the mishap, but Boucher was beyond medical assistance.The jurymen at the inquest presided over by Leonidas Bachand were Alfred Rousseau, Alcide Drolet, Alexis P.Dupuis, Art.Bertrand, Henry Lavoie and J.A.Boivin.PETER VERIGIN LEFT MONTREAL FOR MARITIMES Geneva, Switzeland, Feb.3.\u2014 I The League

Colonization\u2014Increased Aid to Wheat Producers Asked\u2014Important Measure Governing Instalment Selling Introduced.Quebec, February 3.\u2014In a quiet sitting members of the Quebec Legislative Assembly yesterday debated agricultural problems instead of engaging, as bad been expected, in a debate on the employment of women in industry and commerce.Aime Guertin, Conservative member for Hull, requested postponement until February 7 of the debate on the motion by J.A> Francoeur calling for production of documents relating to women industrially employed.\u201cThere is something behind this debate,\u201d said Mr.Guertni, and lie wished time to prepare his address.The request was granted and the debate postponed to the suggested date.The House then listened to an address by Pierre Gagnon, Liberal from Kamouraska, who suggested the Government might better concentrate on encouraging the clearance of land for farming purposes in cental counties instead of establishing urban unemployed in far away sections of the province.Hon.Emile Moreau, Minister without portfolio, called for Government encouragement to farmers attempting to increase wheat acreage.* WOULD PROVIDE HIGHER NINE WOMEN

intensification of the slump had not swollen the numbers of the unemployed as seriously as in countries like Germany and the United States.Britain\u2019s trade, moreover, received stimulus from two
