The attempt to settle specific problems troubling the Far East led today to the first sharp .clash of opinions in the arms confer ence. A British view of the concrete application of the four general principles adopted met with a challenge from the Chinese and the Chinese delegates were point edly asked by the French to show by what authority they presumed to speak for all of China over protests of the South China government at Canton. Strangely enough the Japanese, who had been the first to raise objections to the consideration of detail the Far East, came forward with a suggestion that they would not oppose an examination of their famous twenty-one demands treaty with China to ascertain whether it conflicts with the pen door. Although the action of the French in questioning the credentials of the Chinese caused a momentary flurry In the meeting of the nine delega tions, the divergence of opinion be tween the Chinese and British over application of the four principles of the Root resolution attracted widest attention because of its possible ef fect on future negotiations. Should the? British view prevail, declared the 'nese. It would mean an interna- tfSttaUzatlon of Chinese economic re sources. Chinese Deny Program Acceptance The French objection was Inter posed when ths Chinese presented a plan by which China would regain .rirf iitnnntn hv . c-radiifil rhanea from foreign control. The Chinese replied to the challenge that they were representing the only govern ment In China recognized by the powers and were attempting to help the negotiations by furnishing what ever information they could. The difference of view between the British and Chinese developed when a. British sDokesman explained to newspaper men that his government regarded the four accepted principles t as meaning acceptance by China of a financial consortium, pooling of the operation Of railroad concessions held bv the powers, and continued super- ; vision o China's customs. The Root resolutions, according to the British viewDoint. were adopted with accept ance by China of these principles In view by the signatory powers. The Chinese quickly sent out word that thev had agreed to no such pro gram. While Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese minister to the United States de clined to enter Into a detailed lis. cussion of the interpretation in the absence of an official statement con taining them, the Chinese delegation declared committee discussfon had hmuEht forth no expression by the H plena tea of the British view, and that China placed no such lnterpreta. tioit on them. The consortium. Dr. Sze said, had not been mentioned. According to the Chinese view, the Root resolutions apply to the open door, as embodied in th- policy de fined by John Hay. waiving of spe cial rights and privileges, unhamper ed political and economic develop ment of China and assurances of her territorial, political and aamlnmra tive integrity.

Leased Wire WASHINGTON," Nov. 28 When the arms delegates quit work for the Thanksgiving recess these considera tions embraced central points Of in terest in their discussions: Whether to apply generally accept ed principles i3 the specific cases in the Far East would bring definite ac complishments or only lead to futile debate. " Whether in v'ew of the position of France and the general situation in Europe any serious attempt shoud be made to agree on a limitation of land armament. , Whether a way' can be found to hasten consideration of details of the navy limitation plan, which is pro ceedlng smoothly, but to slowly to satisfy some delegates. Of these questions, the first was brought sharp'y to the fore totfight by several direct clases of opinion re' garding elements of the Far Eastern negotiations. At today's executive session of the nine delegations the right of the Chinese delegates to speak for all of China was reported to h.ive been questioned by France and later a British interpretation of the general principles adopted was challenged by some of the Chinese. Earlier in the day the land armament problem hart been debated behind closed doors b the delegates of the big five powers without further re sult than the appointment of a new sub-committee to consider collateral subjects like the use of airplanes and poison gases. Premier Briand of France, making his farewell speech to the conference, pressed his argu ment that his country dared not dis arm unless she had guarantees from the other poweis and although the general discussion drew renewed ex pressions of sympathy from every other nationa1 group, no one proposed any formal Joint declaration of pol icy. .

Leased Wire MADELIA, Minn, Nov. 23. Merchant of Madetia have de cided to accept corn as payment for debts and for purchases of merchandise. This action was taken yesterday and followed complaint of farmers that they were unable to meet financial obligations. The farmers held the low market price of corn made it impractical for them to haul grain . to market. Merchants -came forward with an offer that they will accept corn as payment of debts and for payment of -current purchases, giving the farmer 10 cents a bushel above the prevailing mar ket price. The barter system of trade opens Saturday and con tinues 20 days. Llfflif OF EUROPE'S LID FORCES TALKED Republican A. P. Leased Wire WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 Facing each other in an executive session, delegations of the great powers ex changed opinions today on the limi tation of armies as it touches Europe but adjourned without making a joint declaration of policy, either as to Europe or general land armament. Premier Briand of France, making his -last appearance in the conference before leaving, reiterated reasons wny his country must maintain the world's largest army and suggested that the triy alternative would be -a,.. -pledge by the powers to aid srance snouiu Germany or any other nation again threaten civilization. , To this., representatives of the United States, Great Britain, Italy and Japan replied with renewed ex pressions ot regard and sympathy for France, declaring their governments firmly committed to the defense of free institutions and giving assur ances that the French people had the moral support of all the powers in facing their problems. " But no one came : forward with a proposal to write such a pledge into a public and joint declaration of policy such as M. Briend indicated would be asked to induce France to reduce its army be yond the point already contemplated. Neither was there a move to formu late a comprehensive program for land armament reduction like that under consideration for naval forces, and the meeting ended after desig nating sub-committees to handle col lateral subjects of aircraft, poison gases and rules of warfare. Tonight M. Briand declared him self well satisfied to take home the oral expressions of moral support voiced by the representatives Of the powers today and in Monday's open session. There were indications that some of the French had hoped he might take along also a formal writ ten pledge, but the premier was said to have realized the restraints under which the other rational groups found themselves as to the subject. In any case, he apparently Is leav ing confidant that his principal ob ject in coming has been accomplished and that if any attempt is made to take up in detail the question of land , armaments the negotiations never will take a trend Inimical to the army of France. Determination of sub-committees to deal with aircraft, poison gas and the rules of warfare brings into the negotiations several new elements. Since it would be difficult for the five powers to make any agreement on any of those subjects without having the sanction of all the other nations, the expectation is that the work done here has been merely a foundation for a possible wor!d-wide conference to handle such problems. Aircraft development as proceed ing under the direct Supervision of the various governments is accounted universally as giving promise of sweeping effects on the commercial world, and it is taken for granted that no measure would be proposed that would seriously curtail that de velopment. The discussion of use of gasses is expected merely to be a beginning for a world discussion and the problem of revisinT 'he ruies of warfare must be. in the opinion of the delegates either put later into the hands of a continuing commission or referred to a world tribunal. 0 Posses Capture Man Wanted For Murder Of Former Soldier Republican A.

To Substitute General Rate Reduction For Order Lowering Hay And Grain Rates Republican A. P. Leased Wire WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. A ten per cent reduction in carload freight rates on farm products, coupled with reduction in railroad wages was pro posed by the carriers to the inter state commerce commission today as a substitute for the order of the commission dated October 20, reduc ing rates on hay and grain shipments. The substitute schedules ' would be effective "for an experimental period of six months." The commission asked to reopen its decision of October 20, in order that argument might be given in behalf of their proposal. The suggested reduction on carload shipments, it was explained, would cover grains, hay, cotton and cotton seed and its products except meal and oil citrus and fresh fruits, live stock and dairy products. The proposed scope of the cut Sn wages was not indicated, the state ment merely saying that "the benefit of the reduction thus obtained," from the railroad labor board shall be passed to the public in reduced rates. Any reduction in rates made .since September 1, 1920, would -constitute a part of this 10 per cent," under the railroad's suggestion. "The effect of this proposal," said the application, "will be an immedi ate reduction in carload rates on the products of agriculture and-the pro ducts of animals, but; as soon as and to the extent that a i reduction in wages Is obtained from the labor board on the propbsed application, a further reduction in rates (except as meanwhile put into effect) to be dis tributed among users of transporta tion in such manner as this commis sion may determine.

Leased Wire WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. Passage of the anti-beer bill which was signed by President Harding today marks a new step forward In the enforcement of prohibition." Com missioner Haynes said tonight. The act, he said, strengthens the prohibi tion forces In dealing with the alleged medicinal preparations sold on the open market and used for beverage purposes and limits activities cf the few physicians "who were issuing prescriptions for liquor" to people not actually requiring it. "No embarrassment in the en forcement of prohibition," he said, "is anticipated from the provision im posing penal liability upon officers searching dwellings without war rants and searching other property without warrants, 'maliciously and without reasonable cause. The of ficers are given fair warning that they must not search -dwellings with out warrants and no attempts to do so will be made." . It "appears that so long as a pro hibition officer has reasonable ground for suspecting a violation of the prohibition act he can not be punished for searching property other than a dwelling without a war rant. No substantial decrease in the activities of prohibition officers is anticipated as the result of the new act and I am confident that the United States attorneys and the de partment of justice are not going to institute proceedings against of ficers, except in the case of a wilful and wanton search by an officer without reasonable grounds for so doing, he added. Says Bill Unconstitutional NEW YORK. Nov. 23. Belief that the anti-beer bill could be attacked as unconstitutional was predicted to night by w. H. Hirst, general coun sel forNew York brewers. One ground for attack, he asserted, was that the law discriminated against beer and in favor, of other alcoholic liquors for medicinal pur poses. Moreover, he asserted, the eight eenth amendment could not be legal ly interpreted as permitting congress to '"interfere" other than with liquors intended for beverage purposes. In the third place, he said, provi sions of the new law dealing with search and seizure "inferentlally violated the fourth amendment, guaranteeing the security of home and person. "The brewers are not greatly con cerned over the ban on beer for Died icine," he continued. "It strikes me that the court will not permit con cress to set itself up as a scientific body for arbitrarily imposing upon the medical profession the congres sional decision of what constitutes a medicine. This is a matter for the medical profession." To Bring Test Suit PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23. Test of the constitutionality of the anti beer bill signed by President Harding will be begun shortly by the National Brewers' association, it was stated today by II. A. Poth, secretary ot the Pennsylvania Brewers' association. "What form the action will take or how wide its scope will be, can not be determined until there has been a conference of those interested with their counsel," he said. o Identify Alleged Bandit As One Of Pearson Slayers Republican A.

T AND SPECIAL SE ENDS BILLS ENACTED LATE IN TAX REVISJON : BILL SIGNED IN CLOSING HOURS Republican A. Pleased Wlr; WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 The tax revision bill became law late today, President Harding signing it at the capitol during the closing hour of the special session of congress. The executive . signature was at tached within less than an hour af er the senate had completed - enact ment of the meausure by agreeing to the conference report by 39 to 29. Six Republicans, Borah, Ladd, LaFol lette, Moses, Norbeck and Norrls voted agains the report, and one Democrat, Broussard. voted for it. This is the hill which repeals the excess profits and transportation tax es, does away nrlth most of the so called nuisance and luxury taxes, re duces Individual taxes all along the line and increases the corporation Income tax from 10 per cent to 12 per cenL Few if any senators sup porting the measure were entirely satisfied with all its sections, but they took the veiw that it contained more good provisions than bad ones. The measure is generally conceded to be only a temporary one and the un derstanding now Is that a new revis ion bill will have to be framed within a year or so. In four hours of debate the bill received much condemnation. Each of the dozen senators who spoke had some complain to make, while sev eral sharply criJcized the bill. Sen ator SmooL Republican of Utah, said: - The people from one end of the country to the other are not satisfied with the bllt." He declared h thought in 1922 the bill would "be materially amended," because of its 'discriminatory' taxes and high surtaxes. ' The senate managers were assailed bySenator Hitchcock, Democrat, Ne braska, and others who asserted that they represented in their negotiations with the house managers not the sen timent of the majority of the senate but only tha of the "dominant ele ment" of the Republican's in the sen ate. Senator Walsh. Democrat of Mass achusetts, inveighed against a system under which he said managers of the house ar.d senate, meeting in secret, could overturn the expressed will of congress. He warned that if this sys tem was continued there would be a revolution in the country. Other sen ators disagreec" as to the result pic tured but agreed that the system was faulty. COURT RULING Ell E Republican A. P. Leased Wire BOSTON. Nov. 23 The supreme court today handed down Its decision in the litigation concerning govern ing boardsi of the Christian Science church and its publications. It held that the directors of the First Church of Christ Scientist of Boston, (the mother church), have the power to remove a member of the board of trustees of the Christian Science Publishing society. It dismissed the bill brought by the trustees to prever.t directors from Interfering with the affairs of the society. The decision In other respects con firmed the rtrort of Judge Frederic Dodge, who sat as master In the controversy, except that it made no ruling on the question whether John V. Dittemore, removed as a director by his fellow members, or Mrs. Annie M. Knott, elected to succeed him, was a diiector legally. The latter question was declared to be at issue in a sep arate suit. Exceptions to the master's report taken by Mrs. Emilie B. Hulen of Brooklyn, N. 1".-, having been waived, were not considered by the court. The apieals of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin A. Krauthoff, of Washington, were dismissed. In its ruling as to the Tower of the directors to remove trustees, the coiit held that the removal of them by Lamont Rowlands, as a trustee was effectual. The court said that the manual of the church "appears to be a vital part of Christian Science" it found also that since the manual purported to be the work of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder ot the church, "there can be now, since the decease of Mrs. Eddy, no change In the provisions of the church manual in accordance with its terms." Today's finding came almost a year after the supreme court took the case for consideration following ex tended arguments on the master's report. The suit was filed origin ally on March 23, 1919. Judge Dodge filed his report a year later. TO HUNT BANDITS BY PLANE NOGALES. Ariz.. Nov. 23.

NNumerous investigations also were conducted, prominent among them being the general inquiry Into agri cultural conditions by a Joint com mission. Wnsn the regular session convenes Dec. 6, appropriation bills for the next fiscal year and possibly the soldiers' bonas measure are to head the house calendar, while the senate's calendar will include the tariff revision measure, the railroad debt funding bill, the allied debt refunding measure, amendment of "the transportation act and the New berry case.

District Attorney Hayward or dered to the Essex county jail in New Jersey four of the 70 defendants who pleaded guilty recently to violating the Sherman act. Having pleaded guilty, he announced, the quartet could not appeal, so that it appeared to be their fate to be the first vio lators of the Sherman law to be pul tehind bars since the measure was enacted in 1S90. Before pronouncing sentence, Judge Vanfleet expressed belief that a mere fine would not serve as a deterrent. He added, how ever, that the jail sentences wert shorter than would have been the case if the defendants taid not Dlea4 ed guilty.
