P. Leased Wire WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. The Vnited States, Great Britain, Japan and France have all agreed In prin ciple to the four-power treaty pro rosed as a substitute for the Anglo -Japanese alliance. TLhe next step, an agreement oh trpecific terms, is regarded among the plenipotentiaries as only a question of hours. It is to be followed by aa early plenary session of the arms conference at which the new inter national concord will be formally an nounced to the world. Already, the task of drafting the treat into final form is well ad vanced. The text is brief, providing In direct terms, for abrogation of the alliance and for a "cooling off pro cess should war be threatened over questions of the Pacific islands. The details yet to be settled, are juiid to involve only minor considera- ion. It is the expectation of some c tha delegates that the coming ple nary session will see a publicly an nounced agreement between the Vnited States, Great Britain and Ja pan on the "5-5-3" naval ratio.- Ja pan has not yet assented to it, but her cabinet is sitting in Tokio with an apparent prospect of favorable action. A third element of the Washington negotiations, the separate parts of which have become intertwined as the time for momentous decisionr rivcs. also, has been advanced to a nnint where the attitude of each in- leresled delegation is well understood. This element involves future fortm cations in th Pacific and official dis russon of it has established the status quo as an acceptable basis of agree- mnt There remains only the chance of serious controversy over tne prob lems of China as a possible barrier to a far-reaching understanding in which the national spokesmen can Mine toeether on all the major points at issue here. With the sealing of such an understanding, . the rest would become a matter of detail. Most of the principal delegates be lieve they could go home by the end nt tha vear and leave the specific terms of the several remaining agreements to be worked out by spe rJa! commissions. Indications have not been lacking that Japan might want to delay final action on the four-power treaty ana the naval ratio until the devious problems of China and the Far East fiave reached a stage where they can be lumped into a general round-up agreement. Despite much talk and the adoption of many resolutions such questions as Shantung ana tne Japa nese leases in Manchuria remain un settled. Whether that circumstance is to delay the negotiations near to consummation is a question that only Tokio can answer. It is the belief of XViiklnvtiM th.:t it will not. Out-croppings of the old troubles . Orient have been apparent more than once since the question of a new deal for China came before the conference. At today's session of the Shantung negotiations, Japan agreed to give up tne puoiic mm- r,r Kiao-Chow. but made the con itional on reference to mlnii to Tokio.

After the first surprise occasioned by Eamonn de Valera's repudiation of the proposi tion for creating the Irish Free State, f : ; i i . i. i i T-...1-1I.. were occupied today maimy in can- vasslne the nrosDects for ratifica- vasslng the prospects for ratifica tion of the Anglo-Irish treaty when it comes before the Dail Elreann next Wednesday. Opinion in both cities appeared to be that Arthur Griffith, as sponsor of the treaty, will obtain an effective majority, although it was admitted that de Valera possessed a strong following and that the voting may be close. If Mr. de Valera should be defeated in his fight against ratifi cation, it is thought here that he may resign his position as head of the Sinn Fein. Should matters develop into taking a plebiscite of the Irish people, it is thought there would not be the slightest doubt of a great majority in favor of the treaty. At the special request of Lord Curzon, the address in reply to King George's speech in the house of lords next Wednesday, will be made by Viscount Morley, one of the oldest and staunchest advocates of Irish home rule. He will make the motion for ratification. The motion will be seconded by Earl Dunraven, who for many years has advocated a domin ion settlement as applied to Ireland. Prime Minister Lloyd Gaorge and Premier Sir James Craig of Ulster held a long conferenc today, which was participated in at various times by other ministers, including Lord Chancellor Birkenhead, Austen Cham berlain and Winston Spencer Chur chill. Nothing was made known to night regarding the results of the conference or even whether there would be a further meeting or not. It was supposed, however, that the conference had to do largely with matters of linance. During the afternoon Mr. Lloyd George and Sir James had a two hours' private conversation in the premier's official residence in Down ing street. It is believed the con ferences will continue tomorrow and that they will be attended by other Ulster officials. Today's conferences are said to have been on the matter of elucida tion of the treaty and not concerning the granting of any concessions to Ulster beyond what are contained in the treaty. A rigid term of the bargain with the Sinn Fein is understood to have hppn that flster shall nhtn i n nr other terms whatevpr than those, in the treaty and that the ministers pledged themselves that neither now nor hereafter will TTIster. if she ntav out. eet the fiscal and other cowers thak are given the south. It is stated that the Sinn Felners would not have agreed but for the promises they got m this respect. The idea of the Sinn Feiners is declared to have been that he only chance to get Ulster in was to sqeeze her in by economic lnduce- ments. Lews attention is being paid to' the situation of Ulster than previously in view of the weightier questions of the effect of Eamonn de Valera's decision against the treaty. Arthur Griffith jn determining to stand by the agree- 1 ment is asserted to have the support I of many of the influential men in his I rartv. while Michael Collins la ex- cected to carry all the fighting ele- ments among the Sinn Fein in favor of the treaty.

Heads of American oil companies who recent ly visited Mexico ha'e been In direct cable communication with President J Obregon for several weeks, seeking reduction of taxes as provided in the decrees of last May and June, but have been told this was impos- sible at the present time. President Obregon made this known today in a talk to Mexican newspaper men. He also diclosed that American oil companies owe the Mexican govern ment more than 22,000,000 pesos in back taxes dating from July last to the end of November. Of this sum more than two and one-half million pesos was owed for July taxes and more than 6,000,000 for November. The intimation was given that the agreement of Secretary of the Trea sury de la Huerta with the oil meft was tentative and expires December 25, on which date a new understand ing must be reached.

P. Leased Wire RIVERSIDE, Calif, Dec. 9. The United States is the only instrumen tality which can protect properly the seven states interested in -development of the Colorado river, it was declared before the League of the Southwest here today by Secretary of the Interior Fall. The secretary made his statement as a means of resolving dissension which had arisen in the league over the oueation of equality of votes for the different states represented. which in turn arose from differences over whether public or private de velopment of the stream's potentiali ties should bo favored. The question of federal control of the stream the secretary answered by declaring that from any viewpoint control rested with the federal gov ernment. "The ultimate power to deal with the waters of the Rio Colorado is the United States," he said. "These are my individual views. There has been no cabinet discussion or administra tive discussion. The fuestions of irrigation, reservation of water, flood control, all must be taken into con sideration and until these are deter mined, the United States will con tlnue to exercise its power. "I hope it will be soon so that de velopment work can proceed. The delegates voted down a motion to invoke, the unit rule by states nd also voted down the suggestion of the Colorado delegation that the league take no action on any matter before it. R. T. Jeffery, chief engineer of the hydro-electric power commission of Ontario, Canada, explained the ac complishments of the intra-municipal WATSON THREATENS TO SLAP ARMY OFFICERS FACE AT Loose Morals Of Girls Caused By 60-Year-Old Vamp WASHINGTON, Dec 9.

Dec 9 George Harvey, the American ambassador, in a letter to Prime Minister Lloyd George, made public today, congratulating him upon the Anglo-Irish agreement, said: "My hearty congratulations. Tours is indeed a triumph of genius and pa- tienre such as the world has seldom if ever beheld. How much it- may mean to both our countries and to all mankind. Mr. Lloyd George said in reply: "Your letter of congratulation has touched me very much and I thanK von warmlv for it.

He evoked considerable enthusiasm from the sponsors of municipal power de velopment at the conference. R. H. Ballard, vice-president of the Southern California-Edison company, told the convention that his company had filed applications with the fed eral power commission for develop ment of the Colorado river from Glen Canyon to the Gulf of California, the applications providing that develop ment should be undertaken from the standpoint of flood control, irrigation and power development, in that order of importance. He said If authority was allowed, the work would be un dertaken Immediately arc1 that the company was prepared to finance it. Secretary Fall spoke at the after noon session, but reserved his an nouncement of policy until after the San Diego conference scheduled to follow the convention. - A. P. Davis, director of reclamation also spoke at the afternoon session. "The United States will seek to continue its controlling powers over the Colorado until the question of equitable distribution of the water rights is determined," he said. This was interpreted to mean that the government would not grant any per mits for private or public power de velopment reclamation or irrigation works until the lnterate Colorado commission has determined the rights of the seven states in the basin of the river.

Dec. 9 Threats by Senator Watson, Democrat of Georgia, to slap the face of an army officer sitting within touch of his el tow threw the meeting of the senate committee investigating charges that American soldiers bad been Illegally hanged in i ranee, into an uproar today end brought a quick demand from Chairman Brandogee for a scr-geant-at-arms to prevent any phy sical clash. For a moment the utmost confu sion prevailed. Above the din as some women hurried toward the door, the voice of the chairman, in strident tones, commanded the Georgia sen a tor to sit down or retire from the room. Banging the table with bare knuckles, the chairman soon restored a semblance of order, but there were many heated exchanges before the meeting broke up until tomorrow noon. Major George W. Cocheu, attached to the general staff, was the officer on whom Senator Watson launched his verbal attack. It happened near the close of a brief but turbulent meeting at which Senator Watson's charges that the committee "at a se cret session had prejudged" the case, was characterized by Senator Shields. Democrat of Tennessee, a member of the committee, as untrue and wholly without foundation. The senator's attack on Major Cocheu hit the committee like crack of lightning. There had been no Intimation that anything of the kind was impeding. Major Cocheu had not testified, and his friends said later, was present in his official ca pacity as chief of the legislative branch of the general staff. Suddenly swinging on his feet 'and shaking his right hand within two feet of the major's face, the senator, his voice pitched high, exclaimed that "for two pennies I'd slap your Jaws." The officer did not bat an eye. . Instantly, Chairman Brandegee was on his feet, calling for a sergeant-at-arms to protect the officer from "an insult." Then, declaring that he him self had been insulted. Senator Wat son announced that he would retire from the meeting. . "An insult can be given by looks," Senator Watson declared, wheeling quickly again to face the officer. "If he looks at me again that way 1 11 slap his face. I won't sit here and be bulldozed by these officers . . . . by this bull jawed brute." Major Cocheu looked straight ahead at the senator, as Chairman Brande gee endeavored to get the proceed ings within orderly senate bounds. Aftfr repeating his command that the senator sit down or leave. Chairman Brandegee and Senator Watson had a fiery exchange as to Just what had been promised in keeping officers out of the room while any of the latter's witnesses were testifying. Finally the chairman shouted to the Georgia senator, asking if he wanted the officers sent away, and on being informed that he did, they were told to g-et out. After that things settled down a hit. Smiles came back to Senator Watson's face as he explained that he wanted to beg pardon of the commit tee if he had acted in an unseemly manner. He added, however, that the officers, sitting ther and gazing at him "in an Insolent manner" ha'l aroused his "Southern blood." The committee later decided to tear (Continued on Page 2 IS E DR.TUEIN FEDERAL COURT Prominent Alienist Testi fies In Trial of Famous Mail Bandit Case May Not Be Finished To Go To Jury Tonight "No man believing; In eplrltual controls so 6trongly as to assert sin cerely that nothing can stand between himself and the things which he Is commanded by them to do would write a letter to President Harding asking pardon for past offenses and in that letter drawing a pitiful word picture of his Buffering wife and child." In declarations such as the fore going Dr. Thomas H. Haines of New lork. who is directing a mental ny giene survey of the Btate of Arizona as an expert with the isationai Men tal Hygiene association, the activities of which are supported by the Rocke feller foundation, summarized yester day in the federal court his reasons for asserting, after examinations of the defendant, that Roy G. Gardner, mail bandit, is sane. Dr. Haines was the first witness called by the government to pass upon the question ct uaraners san ity as an expert, and bis testimony followed that of five others wno nad declared on Thursday that the de fendant was Irresponsible, subject to irresistible impulses, deficient in the knowledge of the difference between: right and wrong ana unaer the in fluence of delusions when be robbed a Southern pacific mall car at Mari copa on the morning of Nov. S. An other expert who testified Thursday declared that Gardner was mentally unbalanced, but refused to give un qualified answers as to bis exact con dition. ; - Interacting Witness The testimony given by Dr. Haines proved as interesting as any which has been adduced during the trial. Based upon two long Interviews with Gardner, one of which consisted in a neurological examination made ac cording to standard methods, and Dr. Haines' observation of Gardner dur ing the five days of the trial. It was an unqualified assertion of tha de fendant's sanity. Although it was unfinished when coVirt adjourned at S o'clock, it appeared to be the result of a careful investigation of the de fendant and of deductions which were drawn, not from hat Gardner had told the expert, but rather from what the physician had seen and learned of him since Dec 1. as was asserted by him in the course of his examination. The expert began his testimony by saying that he had examined Gardner twice in company with Dr Harlan P. Mills, pathologist. The fivt exami nation, he said, was a neurological cne, and the second one an investiga tion into the bandit's idea of his re lation to the rest of the community. He also observed the defendant in the court room, he said, during the course of the trial. Describing the neurological examl nattnn. tir Haines said that he had tested the reaction of the pupils of Gardner's eyes to light, whicn is a test made to discover any derange ment of the central part of the brain. and that he had found the reaction normal. The pupils, he said, were normal, regular in outline, equal In size and reacted equally, facts which were significant in determining the absence of any syphilitic infections of the brain. Gardners knee rciiexes, ho vnrt said, were slightly ex aggerated, but present, as they should bo normally. Describes Tests nrdner' toes contracted normally, Dr. Haines testified, when his shoes and stockings were removed and the soles of his feet scratched, and there was no reaction to the test used in determining whether the patient's spinal cord has een inrected. -i ne "finger to finger" tefct, in which the patient closes his eyes and puts the tips of his fingers together at arms lencth in rront ot mm, ana ine nu- ger to nose" test, in which the patient closes his eyes and puts the tip of his finger to his nose, were not carried out by Gardner as accurately as can be done, but were not unusually inac curate. Gardner's hands tremble, the witness said, more than the normal man's when they are held in fronv,of him. and his eyelids tremble also, but this is the case with most cigarette smokers, the physician declared, as Gardner is. In the second Interview Gardner told Dr. Haines and Dr. Mills the story of his life. This interview was carried on in order that an idea might be gained of Gardner's concept of his relationship to tne rest oi tne woria. Dr. Haines declared that he had been solicitous to elicit evidence of delu sions and hallucinations on the part of the defendant. Gardner s percep tions, lie said, were c lear, his memory strong and his mind a good working mechanism. The witness then said that he had also observed Gardner in the court room. Hypothetical Question At this point Thomas A. Flynn, I'nited States district attorney, sub mitted to Dr. Haines a long hypo thetical question which was based upon assumptions of fact in all the tvlilonee of his criminality since his obbery of a San Francisco jewelry store about 10 years ago to the pres ent day. Thij question was prepared by Attorney Flynn and his assistant?
