WASHINGTON'. D. C. June 26.
The probability that Great Britain
and JaDan will renew their treaty
of alliance within the next three
weeks threatens to put an end to any
definite move at this time for inter
national naval disarmament.
The continuance of the Anglo-Japanese
offensive and defensive al
liance, no matter what the modified
language of the pact may be, is re
garded in government circles here as
an all but insuperable obstacle to
world disarmament.
The famous Borah amendment to
the naval bill, which would request
President Harding to seek a confer-
ence with Great Britain and Japan
on the subject of limiting nava
armaments, would mean but little if
the Anglo-Japanese treaty is renewed
It would place the United tSates in a
one-sided situation with the two
other most powerful nations on the
seas today.
Fair Limitation Dlaeoawrd.
If Great Britain and Japan are to
continue in alliance,, the only fair
limitation of naval armament would
be a reduction of their combined
navies to something like the relative
strength of the United States. It has
been agreed furthermore that Eng
land never would submit to such
proposition.
Premier Lloyd George has said as
much.
Therefore, government officials are
asking why the United States should
agree to a relative naval reduction
with Great Britain and another re la
tive reduction with Japan when Great
Britain and Japan are bound together
in the most formidable alliance likely
to exist In the world for some time to
come and would exert together
naval strength more than any single
power could command.
Cognizance is taken of the state
ments at the imperial conference in
London that the United States is
likely to be specifically exempted
from the scope of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty; that the ground dominions
will not be satisfied unless it be of
ficially et forth that none of its
provisions shall apply against the
United States so that in the event
of war between the United States and
Japan England would not be bound
to come in on the side of the yellow
race.
These statements carry considera
ble reassurance to the United States,
but they do not explain why, in the
present condition of world affairs, a
military alliance between Japan and
Great Britain is necessary or wise.
Right to Protest Lacking.
The United States has no right to
protest against such an alliance. It
may feel glad it is not a party to the
league of nations if two of the lead
ing powers in the league eel that a
separate and especial alliance of of
fense and defense in the Pacific is
necessary to their "special interests."
The Washington government will
not be brought at any time in'.) a
discussion of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty either with. Great Britain or
Japn. If these two powers, at the
signing of the treaty, should send
their official assurances to Washing
ton, they would be acknowledged and
that is all.
American "approval" of the treaty,
as some of the British dominions
have indicated should be sought, will
not be forthcoming. It is barely pos
sible the Washington government may

was elected president and Forrest L.

of the new organization.
The association was created to meet
the need for closer co-ordination of
student-body organizations and aims
to bring about a correlation of stand
ards and Ideals among the student
bodies of colleges and universities on
the Pacific coast. Extended adoption
of the "honor" principle as the guid
ing power in student government was
heartily favored by the new organi
zation as one of its first official
measures. The next regular meeting

Accident at Raymond, Wash., De.

kaijiu.nd, Wash., June 26. (Spe
cial.) Pearl Wilson, 16 years of age
daughter of Mrs. Laura Pooler
Conconully, was killed in East Ray
mona last night at 11:45 when she
was run down by an automobile
driven by Francis Morneau, 18-year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Morneau
of this city.
Miss Wilsori and her cousin,- Ray
Sales, were walking home at the time
She had resided with relatives here
ror several months. At a point near
Henkle's garage on Henkle street the
accident occurred. Young Morneau
turned out to pass a car driven by
Art Deusen, the two pedestrians be
ing near the edge of the street.
The accident was said to have been
unavoidable, as the street at that
point is narrow. Young Sales nar
rowly escaped being struck. The
body of the girl was carried 40 feet,
falling upon one of the fenders. The
coroner's inquest has been Let for Jo-
morrow morning.

issue a statement some time in the
near future that it would "view with
concern" any move which might
threaten the maintenance of the
"open door" and equality of oppor

as far a- it is likely to go in taki.-.g
note of the Anglo-Japanese negotia
tions. Sanction Not to Be Given.
It will not in any way be drawn
J.-to giving sanction to the pact. The
existing treaty expires July 13, and
the best word from England is that
it will be renewed with certain mod
ifications which will remove the
United States from its purview. The
binding clause of the existing treaty
. Is as follows:
"If by reason of unprovoked at
tack or aggressive action, wherever
arising, on the part of any power jr
powers, either high contracting party
. should be involved in war of defense
of -its territorial rights or special in
terests mentioned in the preamble to
this agreement, the other high con
tracting party will at once come to
the assistance of its ally, and will
conduct the war in common, and make
peace in mutual agreement with it."

Hay Being Cut Around Edges of
Fields at Walla Walla.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., June 26.
(Special.) Wheat harvest will start
in Walla Walla county in a week or
ten days, the earliest it has been for
years. Some of the barley in Walla
Walla and Columbia counties is al
most ready for harvest. Wheat at the
edges of fields is now being cut for
hay and to clear the way for combines
and headers.
Better than the average yield is ex
pected. Dealers are offering to con
tract wheat at $1 a bushel, but few
farmers are signing up, expecting
higher prices.
LOGGER KILLED BY TREE
Choker-Setter at Camp Xcar Knap

ASTORIA. Or., June 26. (Special.)
James Kazanatas, a choker setter
employed at the Big Creek Logging
company's camp near Knappa, was
instantly killed there this afternoon
when a tree fell on him.
He was 25 years old, had been in
the camp about two months and as
far as known left no relatives in this
section.
BELFAST. June 26. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) A meeting of the
Ulster cabinet has been called for
Tuesday by Sir James Craig, the pre
mier, to consider the letter of Pre
mier Lloyd George, inviting leaders
of North and South Ireland to a con
ference to try to bring about a con
ciliation.
In reply to the premier Sir James
informed Mr. Lloyd George that he
was summoning a meeting of the
Ulster' cabinet for Tuesday.
Today Sir James was in conference
with his chief supporters. The gen
eral feeling is that the Ulster men
will demand that the terms to be
discussed shall be strictly limited,
especially excluding the subject of a
republic.
Invitation Is Surprise.
Sir James and members of his cab
inet received through the Associated
Press the first intimation that the
invitation had been issued. They ex
pressed surprise that the letters of
invitation had been launched through
the press before those invited were
first sounded.
DUBLIN, June 26. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) A'fter a day of con
ferences in connection with Premier
Lloyd George's letter, it was consid
ered Improbable that Eamonn de
Valera would make any statement to
night. It was said his conferences
were not completed.
In Sinn Fein circles, it is consid
ered probable that if Mr. De Valera
confers with Premiers Lloyd Geoi. i
and Craig, one of his colleagues is
sure to be John Joseph McKeown,
who recently was tried on a charge
of murdering District Inspector lie-
Grath.
Sinn Feinera Split on Views.
In speaking of the premier's letter,
one high Sinn Felner said he thought
it an Insult and as implying accep
tance of partition, utner political
leaders saw in it an abandonment by
Only Telescopes of Most Powerful
Type Can Detect Gaseous Ma
' terlal, Say Astronomers.
The Pons-Winnecke comet tempo
rarily seems to be lost, or has missed
its schedule. First, it wan to have
appeared last night; then the time
was changed on account of the close
proximity of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptun
and a few other celestial bodies, and
now astronomers are figuring th
there is a possible chance for it not
to appear before tomorrow night.
Appear, however, is an improper
word t De used in connection with
Pons-Winnecke, for that is one thing
it will not do. Only telescopes of the
most powerful type would make it
possible for the eye to behold the
gaseous material that constitutes the
tail of the comet. ,
Persons who have been contem
plating being "swished" into the
Great Beyond by that tail are going
to be pleasantly disappointed, for, ac
cording to Professor J. W. Daniels of
Hill Military academy, several thou
sand miles of the tail could be con
densed into a small-sized vest
pocket.
Nor is any shower of meteors ex
pected, for the particles constituting
Pons-Winnecke's tail are so fine that
they would hardly be seen by the
naked eye.
The coming celestial visitor if it
comes is no stranger to the earth
It has been here before; in fact, it
has been visiting us at intervals of
five and one-half years since the
mind of man ran not to the contrary.
Halley's comet, however, is not quite
:s familiar with earthly conditions
It requires 75 years to journey around
Its orbit, and as a result creates more
of a sensation upon its visits.
There will be little use for comet
enthusiasts to stay up tonight or to
morrow night looking for Pons-Winnecke.
The astrological signs are not
right for any sort of a disturbance
whatever.
FALL FROM RACK FATAL
Richard E. Ilaworlli, Drain Farm

ROSEBURG, Or., June 26. (Spe
cial.) Richard E. Haworth, prom-
nent farmer of the Drain vicinity,
ied this morning at Mercy hospital
s the result of an accident sustained
une 7. A fall from a loaded hay rack
caused internal injuries and several
operations were performed in the
hope of saving his life.
Mr. Haworth is survived by a num
ber of relatives who reside at Drain,

their airplane fell at Logan field.
Dundalm, yesterday. Officers said the
crash was due to atmospheric conditions.
All Held on Charges of Forgery.
One Strolls Past Police Desk
and Out of Jail Door.
The belief that action Is more ef
fective than prayer was apparently
entertained by a prisoner in . the
Portland city jail and by two pris
oners in jail at Vancouver. Wash., all
three of whom walked out of prison
under practically similar circum
stances yesterday afternoon while re
ligious services for the prisoners
were in progress.
In addition to the similarity in
manner of escape there is coincidence
in the fact that .the escapes were
made at almost the same time and
that the three were all bad check
artists. During the services in the
Portland jail, when all thoughts were
supposed to be on things higher than
mere earthly liberty,, J. P. Price alias
C. J. Fair, stuck a prayer book un
der his arm and, dodging out the door,
nonchalantly strolled down the stair
way past the police information desk
and out to liberty.
The announcement of the escape of
Price had scarcely been made when
a long distance call came from the
sheriff at Vancouver, announcing to
Inspector Kellaher that two prisoners
there had just made their escape
from the county jail during the re
ligious services.
They were, Charles Wilson, 19, and
Edward Beck, 28. Both were held for
forgery.

SALEM, Or., June 26. (Special.)
The first six months of the year 1921
have established a new record with
relation to forest fires, according to
F. A. Elliott, state forester. Up until
tonight only one forest fire had been
reported to his office. This fire was
central Oregon and resulted in
little damage.
Mr. Elliott said he attributed the
lack of fires during the present
month to the frequent showers and
the fact that people had become edu
cated to extinguishing fires used for
camping purposes . in the timbered
districts. '

The big fight is
but six days a"ay
and the Intense nervous strain under
which the champion is laboring makes
It practically impossible to corner
him for interviewing purposes. But
the writer had a personal message to
deliver and with it opened the way
for one of the best chats we've ever
had with slugger Jack.
Message Is Given Jack.
"Rowdy" Elliott told me to tell you.
Jack, that he'll be In Salt Lake next
Saturday and will spend the day of
the fight wfth your folks. He wants
you to know that they are not worry
ing.
A half hundred or more Pacific coast
friends of yours telephoned me before
left asking me, as a favor, to tell
you that they are pulling for you."
That's how we started our rapid-
fire talk with the 26-year-old crowned
king-of the heavyweights. "Rowdy"
Elliott, the Sacramento catcher, is the
brother-in-law of Jack Kearns, Demp
sey s manager, and one of the cham
pion's closest pals.

think Carpentier will last?"
Sex Census, However, Shows Rel
ative Figures Have Varied
Little in Last Decade.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington D. C, June 26. More
women moved into the Pacific coast
states than men in the last 20 years,
according to the sex population of
the states of the nation. Just Issued
ty the census bureau. Every decade
showed a total rapid growth of pop
ulation in these states, but the per
centage or women, compared to the
men, increased faster.
On the other hand there Is barely
any percentage change m the rela
tive numbers of men and women in
the nation as a whole.
In 1900 there were M4 males In all
the states for 100 females, and In the
figures just Issued it is shown that
the ratio Is now 104.4 males for each
100 females. This normal balance be
tween the sexes, which is maintained
so evenly for the nation. Is being ap
proached more nearly on the Tacific
coast each succeeding decade.
Yet the four western states have a
considerable number of men yet to
spare before approaching the national
standard. For the year 1920 It. Is
found that in the extreme western
states for each 100 females there were
the following males: Idaho, 118.2;
Washington, 118.1; Oregon, 113.4. and
California. 112.4,
In 1900, the same states had a
much higher percentage of males to
its female population. Witness the
following figures: Idaho 136.5, Wash
ington. 142.2, Oregon 129 and Cali
fornia 123.5. Whether this trend on
the Pacific may be called a civilizing
influence, the disappearance of the
stock range conditions or vanishing
mining operations. 20 years prove
that the women are getting stronger
relatively Beyond the Rockies, and
with the continuance of the same
trend witnessed the past 20 years.
should establish within another ten
or 20 years approximately the na
tional standard of 104 males for each
100 females.

Dempsey's eyes twinkled. He had
been asked a direct question and
knew his answer would be published,
but without a moment's hesitation he
shot back: "If I feel like I feit while
boxing this afternoon, I don't see how
Carpentier can last more thaa four
rounds."
We don't believe Dempsey fs over
confident. We give him credit for
being too smart for that, but to put
it lightly the champion feels abso
lutely certain that he'll knock the
challenger for a long trip in short
order at Jersey City next Saturday
alternoon.
"I'm boxing as good as ever," he
told me tonight. "Maybe I'm not the
speediest heavyweight who ever
pulled on a pair of gloves. I'm not
saying I'm Jim Corbett or anything
ike that, but Im just as good or
better than 1 was against vwuaru
and the rest.
"I'll weigh about 192 against the
Frenchman, and only wish that
Georges weighed 20 pounds more, fori
r. alwovs had my Dest success
ncainst the big fellows." The writer
saw Jack weighed Just before he
commenced wording before 2500 peo
ple at his open-air arena this after
noon. Reduction Is Expected.
He weighed 194 pounds, but says
he'll worry off a couple of pounds
thinking the thing over between now
and Saturday. "I'll die if this
Frenchman beats me," continued
Dempsey. "Just tell the boys on the
coast that I'll give him all I've got.
I have no prepared plan of attack.
That stuff is the bunk. A sock on the
chin wiil spill the best laid plans."
"With me it has always been a
uestion of catching 'em and then I
socking. That's why the smaller
follows make it toughest for me.
Against Willard, Morris and Fulton,
I had no worry. They were Just big.
I can beat anyone that I can sock."
Story Called to Attention.
We called his attention to a story
printed in an eastern newspaper to
the effect that he was being bothered
with his nose and throat. Dempsey
clarifies this by explaining that he
always did make a noise like a steam
engine when boxing. Force of habit,
he says.
It was a typical Oregon day, threat-

northern California and parts of
Utah, which closed Saturday night at
St. Helen's Hall of Portland. After
an extended discussion of the picture
by pastors and lay delegates who
hal viewed it, the decision was made
to send a message to the presiding
bishop and council, the highest gov
erning body of the church, urglns
that immediate steps be taken by
that body at its quarterly meeting
next month to exert preasure on the
American distributors of "Deception"
in an effort to stop further exhibi

States.
Portland Theaters Affected.
The protest to the presiding bishop
is being prepared and Is expected to
be sent to Presiding Bishop (lallor In
Washington, D. C, early this wtek.
The blshop'a council la made up of
eight other bishops, elsht priests and
eight laymen, representing every
province of the church in the United

opened an engagement last Wednes
day. Local leaders In the fight
against the picture intimated last
night .that they would not make a
particularly strenuonus campaign
against the Portland showing, and
expressed the opinion that conditions
were not favorable for the accom
plishment of any important action
here.
When Informed of the steps taken
by local church workers, C. S. Jensen
declined to make any statement yes

take no action in the matter until ha
had conferred with representatives of
