Another chapter of one of the
r.iost dramatic and extraordinary
episodes arising from the war was
Hosed at a meeting in the drawing
loom of Samuel Untermyer of New

day.
What happened at this gathering
was a culmination of negotiations
between parties which have been
meeting for two months in various
places in Germany and Austria and
in Paris. These were on one part
Archduke Frederick of Austria and
Aichduke Albrecht, his son; Arch
duchess Isabella, his wife, who was
Princess Croy. and the six daughters
ot the archducal family, with their
counsel, Dr. Wilhelm Rosenberg of
icnna, and Dr. Aurel Egry of Buda

accentuated in the last few months by
meetings at Carlsbad, Kisslngen.

JAPAN MAY DISCARD
21 CHINA DEMANDS
Tokio Paper Discusses Outline
of Programme for Wash
ington Parley.
DOUBT IF HABA ATTENDS
Busso-Nippon Treaty, With
Evacuation of Siberia, Is
in Contemplation.
Tokio, sept. 11. Reports from China
onL Pan 13 disp08ed certain
conditions to discard her famous
twenty-one demands" made upon I
China in 1915 were followed to-dav1
by an article in the Nichi 2ficM shini- j
bun dealing: with the same subject. !
I he army favors a part cancellation 1
of the demands, says this newspaper. I
provided Japan is permitted to purchase
rights and interests at Dairen, Port i
Arthur, and in southern Manchuria!
y extending: Japan's lease in these j
regions for ninety-nine years and!
provided this arrangement can be com- '
pleted before the opening of the Wash- I
ington conference on limitation of'
armaments. Such a lease was provided
for in the "twenty-one demands"
treaty.
The Xlchi Nichi says that this will
constitute one feature of the recommeda
tions on Japan's programme at the
Washington conference, and that upon
the successful carrying out of this part
of the Japanese programme will be
predicated Japan's willingness to with
draw her garrison from North and
Centra! China, provided China will open
the interior of the country for foreign
trade. The newspaper continues that the
General Staff and other lnnuential ele
ments in the army arranged this pro
gramme after extensive deliberations
and afterward submitted it to the
?,m7 "3 rrpre8*nting Japan's
guiding principle at the conference.
The alleged programme alto Includes
the evacuation of Siberia after the con
clusion of a Russo-Japanese commerlcal
treaty. Adhering to views on the project
Previously announced, the army Is said
to favor mutual reductions or even the
dismantling of fortifications In the Pa
flrenn ?."n advocate at the con
feience, the newspaper says, the main
tenance of an army of twenty-one
divisions, as provided for In Japan's
rtKommendatlons to the League 0f
Nations, but If other Powers favor
uiM fon niU'"aI Japan
ulll follow suit, taking Into considera
tion Japan a belief In the sincerity of
other nations to the extent of their
actual curtuilmcnt.
There Is still a possibility that Pre
mler Hara may conference in
Washington on limitation of armaments
at .east for a few weeks. He would be
obliged to return, however, before the
opening of the Japanese Diet In Januaiv.
't 'Ma d. Moreover, his going at all
>s said to depend largely upon whether
renders Uoyd George of England and i
Brland of France decide to attend.
Still, It Is said, pressing internal)
economic matters may prevent Premier
Hara from leavlnK the country. |n which '

Atlantic Citt, Sept. 11.?President
Harding came to Atlantic City from
Washington with the intention of pass
ing a quiet Sunday here, but the crowds
that jammed the Boardwalk from
morning until midnight would not per
mit It. Hundreds of persons stood all
day In front of the President's hotel
hoping to get. a glimpse of him, and
every time he appeared he was sur
rounded and followed by a crowd
which grew in proportions until it
frequently became io large that it
blocked traffic and disorganized the
whole Boardwalk.
Once during the late afternoon,
when the President was strolling
along the Boardwalk with Alexander
P. Moore, publisher of the Pittsburgh
Leader,ythe party was forced to leave
the Boardwalk and go through a side i
street to escape the mob. The other.
members of the party did not Join the j
President, because of the threatening
weather, and he and Mr. Moore evi- ^
dently hoped to eacape from the hotelI
unnoticed and enjoy their walk in j
peace and quiet. Instead of leaving!
the hotel by the front entrance, where !
a large crowd and a battery of moving
picture and still photographers were |
gatherered, Mr. Harding and Mr.,
Moore went out by a back door.
The President, however, surrounded
as he -was by Secret Service men, had
not gone far before the crowd began to
recognize him. Several fell io behind
him, and then others, until at length tbe
crowd that followed and cheered became
so great that a detail of Atlantic CU.v
policemen joined the party and marched
directly behind the President, so that the
crowd wns not able to get close to him.
Smnll Boje Get to Hardin*.
However, many small boys managed
to squirm through the lines of policemen j
and Secret Service men. and every hun- j
dred feet or so the President stopped
and shook hands with some youngster
who planted himself almost beneath the |
Presidential feet and who would not
budge until he bad been noticed. On? j
boy he'd out a Micky hand and offered j
the President some taffy.
"Xo, thank you," said Mr. Harding,
laughing, "candy makes me fat." j
The boy said afterward that while he
was ? bit ashamed of himself for feel- j
Ing that way, he was quite a bit re- ,
lieved, as the candy was pretty good;
stuff and he wanted it hlmaelf. Other !
children gave the President flowers. a^|
did many grownups. Several ot the 1
bunches of flowers struck the President j
on the back and shoulders, but he always
laughed and picked them up. carrying
them for a short illstance before hand
ing them to some child or some other
member of his party.
The crowd that followed the President
kept Increasing until It became gigantla
The bombardment of flowers and flags
and the Insistent presence of small boys
and girls with sticky handn became so
pi rat that Mr. Harding suggested to Mr.
Moore that they lesve the Boardwalk.
Accordingly they went to Ocean avenu?
thence to Pacific avenue and then back
to the Boardwalk. But the crowd wns
just a* big and the President hurried
back to his hotel.
HnrilliiK H' f""" Gold Dlibet. |
The President enjoyed his sleep at the J
Ritr-Carlton last night, but he did not
enjoy the solid gold dinner service that
the hotel management set out for his
first meal there. It was raid this after
noon that when the President saw the
gold service he frowned and said:
"Take those things away and bring
some regular dishes."
The President arose bright and early .
this morning, and throughout the day I
wore a cr.eam colored flannel ?ult. He j
attended service thin morning In the j
Chelsea P.apttKt Church, where the Rev.
j Keith McLeod of Pleasantville
preached the sennon. Mr. Harding was
accompanied to the church by Mrs.
Harding, Herbert Hoover and Mm
Hoover ond Under Secretary of State

President went to the Atlantic City Hos
pital t<> visit Mrs. Fred Cpharn, wife of j

Committee. He was rccompanled theic
hv Mrs. Harding, liia secretary, George |
F Christian, and Mrs. Fletcher. Mr. .

walk. . _ _ ?
During thft afternoon a thousand
members of the Fifth Division Asaoola
tlon who wero winding up their con
vention in Philadelphia with a day at I

hotel He made a speech to them from
the entrance, declaring that there I?
nothing too good In America for its
veteran defenders," and Intimated
ntrongly that he was oppo?ed to any |
bonus legislation.
"The man who came back wounded
and impaired In ability to earry on the
vocation of Ills life," said the President,
"deserves the fullest aid In our power
to give, and T purpose to use all Influ
euce I have to see that he gets it. But

Whiskey Restrictions

Fpcc.al Despatch loTuv Naw Yoi* HjOUl.O.
New York Hrmld Bureau, )
Washington, D. C., Sept. 11. f
PROHIBITION Commissioner
Ilaynes has directed that more
rigid sup.-rvision be exercised in
handling applications of retail
druggists for whiskey permits in
order that the bond requirements
may be more fully met by ap
plicants.
Whiskey permits of hundreds
of druggists in different parts of
the country have been put in
jeopardy through the insolvency
of middle Western bonding com
panies which supplied bonds
under which many druggists now
are operating.
The difficulty led to the revo
cation of the licenses of such
bonding companies, Commis
sioner Haynes said. Tostrengthen
the bonds of such permit holders,
he said, the Treasury Department
accepted a blanket bond in the
penal sum of $100,000, executed
by the National Association of
Retail Druggists, to protect such
permit holders as are members of
that organization.

Chicago, Sept. 11.? Harvey W.
Church, frail and 23, confessed to-dny
after eight hours of questioning that
he killed Bernard J. Daugherty, a
Packard motor salesman, and Carl J.
Ausmus, demonstrator, merely to get
the >5,400 car he had proposed to pur
chase.
Church killed both men single
handed, one at a time. The terrible
beatings shown on the bodies and the
trussing of both was merely "to be
sure they wore dead."
Daugherty, whoso handcuffed body,
with throat slashed, was found In the
Dosplalnes River, near River Forest,
last Friday, was the first victim.
While Ausmus waited in the car
outside Church's homo Church took
Daugherty inside. Immediately in
side the door he turned and pressed
a revolver ngainn Dautcherty's side,
forced him to hold up his bands while
he handcuffed the salesman and forced
him into the basement of the ho'ise.
There, while tho helpless man tried
vainly to fltrht back with his manacled
hands, the boy swung terrific blows
itgain and again on his head with a
baseball bat.
After Daugherty fell Church slashed
his throat, "to make sure he was dead,"
and pulled the body to one side. Then
he relumed to the parlor.

A few seconds later Ausmus earn* In.
Inquiring as to the delay, ilhurch drew
his revolver a en in and commanded
Ausmus to precede him to the basement.
At the point of the weapon Ausmus
submitted to having his hands tied.
With the jevolver still menacing the
demonstrator, the boy seized the ball
bat again.
"Ausmus was In the car at tfie
curbing," said Church, "while T went
inside with Daugherty. I told Daugh

fFatty) Arbuckle, motion picture star,
Is in jail to-night In spite of all efforts'
by his lawyers to And some way to ob
tain his liberty, following a night in a
cell at headquarters. He was arrested ,
last night on a charge of murder as
a result of the death of Virginia
Rappe. film actress, after a drinking
bout last Monday night in Arbuckle's
rooms at the Hotel St. Francis.
The charge of murder was laid by
Detective Captain Duncan Mathe?on'
under the section of the California
law interpreting as first degree mur
der a death resulting from the com
mission or attempted commission of
certain specified criminal acts. The
Rappe case falls within this classifica
tion, it is alleged.
To Arbuckle himself, to Frank
Dominguez, his attorney, who accom
panied turn yesterday in an all da>
Journey from L<os Angeles, to every
member of his party the announce
ment that he would be booked for
murder came literally as an over
whelming thock.

Asked the nature of the evidence

warrant charging murder, Capt. Mathe- i

I irenian Makes Special Trip
for Heirlooms in Mrs.
Potter's Rooms.
Fire in a Ave story apartment house
at 20 West Tenth street, occupied by
Frederick MacMonnies, sculptor;
George C. Keefer, secretary of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, and
other persona of prominence, caused
excitement In the Washington Square
neighborhood last evening, particularly
when Mr. and Mrs. Keefer returned
from a walk and there was no sign
of their two-months old baby, who had
been left In the apartment in charge
of a nurse.
Their fears were quieted, however,
when th# nurse. Miss Ellen Arnold,
appeared from a neighboring house
and explained she had taken the child
out at the first smell of smoke. She
said she had been in two fires before
this one and knew just what to do.
Tenants on the upper floors of the
building smelted smoke and telephone!
to the acting euperintendent, who tele
phoned nn alarm to Fire Headquarters.
When Battalion Chief Qulnn arrived he
turned in a regular alarm. It was found
the fire had originated in a rear room
of n socond floor apartment, of which
the lessee Is Mint Hazel Barkhurst. an
art student of Akron, Ohio. Miss Barl;
hurst Is out of town and had left the
apartment in charge of Mrs. Florence
Monroe Potter, a lineal descendant of
President Monroe and widow of a for
mer naval officer and lawyer.
-Airs. Potter had stepped cut a few
moments and could not explain how the
fire atarted. When she returned she
appealed to Battalion Chief Qulnn to save
two or her ring., one an heirloom that
i'ad once been worn by President Mon
ioe, the other a valuable diamond. She

many To-morrow.
"Let's so!" was the spirit yester
day, upon tlie eve of the primaries.
at the headquarters of Henry H. Cur
ran, President of Manhattan, Repuh
lean-Coalition choice for Mayor, and
that optimism wad reflected at a
tousing meeting which Mr. Curran
addressed in The Bronx in the aftcr
rion. Several hundred persons heard
Mr. Curran at the Park Republican
( lub, 4778 Third avenue, and Inter
rupted him with cheers until It was
: difficult at times for the candidate to
proceed.
Mr. Curran made no effort to stir
up his hearers over the so called
"issues of the campaign," but got
down to the sort of stuff it takes in
a man to be the kind of Mayor New
York needs. Upon that subject he
spoke from the fullness of his knowl
edge gained In ten years of experi
ence in the actual work of the city's
government. He outlined some of
the problems the next Mayor will
have to settle for the city and de
|(lared that the job is going to take
i<ll the courage, honesty and stead
fast singleness of purpose a man can
command.
Bara Political Ht?ck?o.
Mr. Curran also pointed out the im
portance of selecting subordinates who
' uro competent and efficient rather than
I the selection of tonic political hench
man who happens to be out of a Job.
! in that connection he complimented
the splendid work of Clarence Fay. his
| Commissioner of Public Works. "On*
; Clarence Fay," he said, "is worth a
i hundred O'Malleys."
In vivid contract to the methods of
' the Hylan administration in letting
contracts ro exorbitant that they had
to be cancelled wh?>n exposed by the
i Lockwood committee, of which the
money planned to be poured into the
new court house furrtlshcs an illus
tration, Mr. Curran told of the thou
sands of dollars Mr. Fay had saved
' 1he taxpayers of Manhattan by rcjec
i tion of bids and by bargaining in the
open market for supplies until a rca
| <onab!e figure could be obtained.
I It is an Illuminating commentary
that the court house contracts for
milliors of dollars were engineered by
Comptroller Charles L. Craig who *<
; seeking reelection and were expoxed
, and forced to be abrogated by Senator
Charles C. Lockwood, chairman of the
Lockwood committee, who is seeking
' the nomination to oppose Comptroller
Craig.
With the full expectation that M?.
Curran will receive the Republican
nomination, ft number of notable writ
ers liavc s'grnifled their intention
join hands to sweep bis campaign
along: to victory over the Hylan
Hearst-Tammany outfit in the muni
cipal election. Those writers, it was
announced at Curran headquarters. In
clude Julian Street, Will Irwin. Louis
Evans Shlpman, Herman Hagedorn.
Edward S. Van Zile, Kendall Banning
and others.
The Citizens Union came out yester
day with the same note of confldenr*
' thai was apparent everywhere amoi t
' the Cutranites. The Cltisens Union de
j tla red that "the first victory agair*t
Hylan. Henrst and Tammany muH
won In the primaries" and to tost end
urged all enrolled republican* to ma!<
every effort to p'.lo up a vote that will
be V.ardly leas than the handwriting ou
