acknowledge publicly the secret under
standing she is said to have with China. :
The reported decision of Japan to
make known its purposes is believed
to be the outgrowth of informal diplo
matic conversations between Washing
ton and Tokio regarding the American
government's desire that all the facts
in the case be given to the public. The
president has told many senators that
a complete exposure of the case would
throw a new light on the Shantung
provision.
Committee Call Landing.
News of the expected development
regarding Shantung reached the capitol
after the foreign relations committee
had opened the way to other important
disclosures by asking Secretary Lan
sing to come before it Wednesday to
discuss features of the treaty. It is
expected that the sessions will be pub
lic, and that some of the committee
members will want the secretary to
tell much of the inside story of how
the treaty with its league of nations
covenant was drawn up.
With the reassembling of the senate
after the week-end recess, .there was
much discussion among senators as to
the possible effect of the prohibition
issue on the ratification fight. The
subject became conspicuous through an
interview between a rep res e n tat i ve of
the liquor interests and Senator Hitch
cock, democrat, Nebraska, leader of
the pro-treaty fortes, at which the
former is said to have urged that peace
be concluded so President Wilson could
suspend war-time proh ibition.
"Wet" Kami SuMeeteri.
Senator Hitchcock said he told his
caller that the only way a state of
peace could be established was by rati
fication of the treaty, and remarked
that ratification was being opposed by
some senators with whom the "wets"
had been influential.
Ever since President Wilson made it
clear a month ago that he considered
it im possible to declare demobilization
complete, and thus make prohibition
suspension possible, until peace had
been established, treaty opponents have
charged that the liquor interests were
bei ng lined up to force ratification.
Senator Hitchcock said today, however,
that there had been no effort of that
Bort and none was contemplated.
the temporary list. Major Hanford has
received no definite instructions and it
is hoped that he may be returned to the
college. He has proved particularly
popular.
Colonel Sharp, a graduate of the field
artillery school of fire at Fort Sit1
Okla., received his commission in 1907.
He served in the Philippines from 1910
to 1913 and was inspector-instructor for
the national guards of Colorado, Utah
and New Mexico from 1913 to 1916.
Colonel Sharp took the 11th field ar
tillery overseas where he remained
nearly a year and brought back the
318th field artillery, landing June 11.
While in spec tor-instruct or for the na
tional guards from 1913 to 1916 he was
interested in the establishment of a

SHANTUNG ROW JIKLB POLITICS
Japanese Delegate at Paris IMscusses
Treaty Willi China.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 4. (Special.)
-Agitation in this country over the
Shantung question is merely the work
of political enemies of President Wil
son, who have seized the question as a
weapon against the president, declared
Dr. T. Yamakawa, technical delegate
with the Japanese mission at the peace
conference, who is in Seattle en route
home.
"Japanese consider the award of the
peace conference just in the light of
all circumstances," said Dr. Yamakawa,
"and will oppose any attempt to alter
the situation.
"The whole question involving Shan
tung was settled by treaty in 1915 be
tween Japan and China. Under the
terms of this treaty Japan was to as
mime control of all (Jerman possessions.
but would jointly operate the railroads
and mines with China. At the end of
the war Japan was to return Toingtao
to China.
"But at the peace conference the Chi
nese delegates assumed a totally differ
ent attitude from that expressed at the
time the 1915 treaty was signed. They
did nothing short of completely repu
diating the treaty, hiding behind the
claim that China's subscription to the
treaty was brought about solely
through fe:ir of Japanese force.
"This attit ude was a great surprise
to the Japanese delegates. We con Id
not understand it. Through well-directed
propaganda the Chinese have
stirred up a good deal of sentiment,
whereas, if the facts were fully known
there should be no reason for it."
Accompanying lr. Yamakawa home
are Lieutenant-Colonel Minomiya of
the Japanese army and S. Yokota, an
attache at the Japanese embassy at
Washington. Colonel Minomiya was a
military expert attached to the Japa
nese mission at he peace conference.

to McCuilom & Painter of North Bend,

Mr. and Mrs. Jbd. Vandecar.
The child is reported to have been
riding a bicycle on the sidewalk when
she fell, rolling beneath the truck
which was passing.
ALBANY, Or.. Auff. 4. (Special.)
Dr. J. Linsey Hill, a leading physician
in the Willamette valley for almost
half a century, prominent in the busi
ness, public and fraternal life of this
section of the state for many years and
a member of one of Oregon's best
known pioneer families, was found dead
late last night in his home in this city.
He was one of the most widely known
men in the Willamette valley.
Apparently Dr. Hill had died more
than a week ago just as he was leaving
for the Breitenbush hot springs, where
relatives supposed he was taking a
vacation. Because members of his
family with whom he boarded were
taking a vacation coincident ally with
his supposed trip and everything about
hi apartments, in which he lived alone,
indicated that he had gone as planned,
his death was not discovered.
naKaee Sent to Depot.
Dr. Hill planned to leave Albany a
week ago last Thursday morning. On
the preceding night, his baggage was
taken to the depot and his son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ward,
with whom he boarded, left for New
port. Thursday morning, Dr. Hill's
son. Gale S. HilL noticed that the
blinds were drawn and everything
about his office and his living apart
ments, which adjoined his office, were
he always left them when on a
trip. Later he visited the apartments
to see if everything was all right and
looked into the windows and saw that
things were apparently as the doctor
had left them.
Dr. Hill had ordered his mail sent
to the Breitenbush Hot Springs, so none
of it was going to his residence and
relatives who were at the office or
apartments at different times found
nothing unusual.
Body Found in Apartment.
Dr. C. C. Cleek of this city returned
yesterday from the Breitenbush Hot
Springs and, in a casual conversation
last night with Fred Ward, Dr. Hill's
son-in-law, the fact developed that the
doctor was not at the springs. His
apartments were then broken into and
his body was found. Apparently he had j
risen and, partly dressed, had raised
the blind on his bedroom window and
had started" to walk into the front of
his apartments when he fell down and
died instantly. The body was lying.
however, in a position where it could
not be seen from the windows.
Dr. Hill had been in failing health
for about two years, but his condition
the past few months was better
than it had been previously. He was
down town on ihe day preceding his
death, and on the night before his son
was at his apartments and he seemed
in usual health.
Doctor One of Pioneers.
Dr. Hill was 74 years old, having
been born in Tennessee February 2 a.
l4o. He crossed the plains with his
parentsin 1853 and had resided in
Oregon ever since. His father. Dr.
Reuben C. Hill, settled in Benton
county near Albany and was the first
physician in this section of the state.
Besides practicing medicine, he was a
Baptist minister and was one of the
most active pioneer ministers, working
as a physician all wees and preaching
on Sunday.
Dr. J. L. Hill attended the local
schools, worked for a short time as a
printer and then took up the study
of medicine under the direction of his
father. He then entered the medical
department of Willamette university,
from which he was graduated in 1871.
He began practicing medicine at Buena
Vista, but soon afterward moved to
Albany and had resided here continu
ously ever since.

He was not only prominent as a phy
sician but as a writer and lecturer on
medical subjects and he was an in
structor for several years in the med
ical department of Willamette universi
ty. He was a student of more than
local reputation and was a voluminous
writer on many subjects. He h-id the
best private l'brary in this section of
the state. Dr. Hill was active in busi- '
ness affairs in the community for many!
years. He had extensive property in
terests here and at one time owned
more than 100 dwelling houses in Albany.
Dr. Hill was prominent for years in
public affairs. He never sought office
personally, however, though he served
at one time as mayor of Albany. He
wa.s especially prominent also in the
work of different fraternities and was
a past grand chancellor of the Knights
of Pythias of Oregon. He was a char
ter member of fet. Johns lodge No. 17,
Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of
this city, and was also a member of the
local lodges of Elks, Odd Fellows, Arti
sans and Moose. He was the founder
of the 2500, a local insurance society.
and had served as its president contin- !
uously from its organization.

an ornithologist and had a collection
of stuffed birds from all parts of the
world. He also had one of the first
museums in this section of the state
and had a wonderful collection of cu
rios and relics of all kinds.
Dr. Hill had traveled rather exten
vely and in 171 4 made a trip around
the world.
He is survived by three children.
Clyde L. Hill of Sydney, Australia; Gale
S. Hill of Albany, district attorney of
Linn county, and Mrs. Kmily O. Ward
of this city. He is also survived by
