Struck and pinned to the ground by the falling blocks of clay and supporting scantlings carried down in the cave in, Palmer was finally rescued by fellow. workmen after ten minutes' imprisonment. He was removed to St. Michael's hospital suffering from badly bruised legs. The other workmen, Henrigo Fon- tano, 4 Portland St.; George Letko, 190 Spadina Ave, and Joe Orso, 15 Beverley St., were also struck by the falling clay. They suffered minor head and body bruises. The break in the wall was scarce- ly noticeable, and only involved the displacement of a couple of tons of earth. Being hard clay, it did not fall in a steady shower, but broke away from the wall in blocks, and tumbled to the ground in intervals, which accounts for the lucky escape of the workmen. The accident occurred shortly after 2 am., when Palmer was helping the men drill out a space for a cement footing on which a huge steel girder is to be placed.

There was no official confirmation available of reports that London will finally be chosen at the scene of ar five-power conference but it was gen- crally believed here that since much of the spade work has been done in England, London would likely be the most central place to suggest for suche a meeting.

President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson have not taken op- I portunities to explain MacDonald's surprising statement that the Amer= ican cruiser proposals as received in London look toward an increase in- stead of limitation of the authorized Lconstruction program. The Anglo- American negotiations have been accompanied by frequent evidences of pique on both sides of the Atlantic. During the the past six weeks of discussion, the United Press is in- formed, the British embassy receiv- ed several sharp inquiries from Lon- don demanding to know who was rc- vealing secrets in- Washington and why. About that time news dispatch- es from London showed that the Brie tish viewpoint. was that the state de- partment was not competent to keep secrets. While London still fretted over leaks in Washingion, MacDonald a- rose at Geneva with a speech in which he asserted that seventeen of the twenty outstanding points had been agreed upon. He pedicted an- nouncement of an agreement before the League of Nations assembly ad- journed. Official Washington snorted.
