DEOISIOS PUT UP TO TOKIO Delegates of 3 Big Powers Hold 2-Hour Session. COMMUNIQUE IS BRIEF Some Japanese Say Messages to Home Indicate Compromise Is Considered. Li WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 2. (By the Associated Press.) Japan and the United States appeared tonight to be approaching an agreement on naval ratio. . V After a conference between Secre tary Hushes, Admiral Baron Kato and A. J. Balfour, the Japanese delegates began communicating with Tokio, rewumably submitting a new phase the negotiations. This official communique was ls- .1 after the meeting of the 'big e": Arthur J. Balfour, Admiral Baron Kato and Secretary Hughes met at the state department this afternoon and had an extended interview with lespect to the naval proposals. No comment on the interview can be made at this time. Baron Kato Says Nothing. To that Baron Kato added in re ply to questioners: "I cannot divulge anything that was brought out at to day's conference." But from elsewhere came intima tions that posBlbly the question of American fortifications In the Pacific ftnd possibly the Japanese ambition to retain the super-dreadnaught Mutsu had entered Into the new de velopment. "Unofficial Japanese accompanying V the delegation put forward trie sirg- coni.ilii tutu n uupnn were permuted to retain the Mutsu and the American government agreed not to further to fortify its Pacific bases, the Japanese fleet would have in effect a rating of 65 or 66 per cent instead of the 60 per cent allowed by the American ' pro- osals. Japan'! Position Oultlncd. Supporting this view, in-so-much as Iit relates to fortifications, came this authoritative outline of the Japanese position from a more official source: "In Japanese minds strong fortifi- cations near the home soil give cause tor anxiety because the Japanese peo- inle want to know the raesons. To them they are closely connected with national defense, just as is the ques- tlon of a definite understanding con cerning the far east between the United States, Japan and Great Brit- lain. ' "There were no expressions from Ithe authorized spokesmen of any 'group to indicate how far these ' views represented the rseults of to day's proceedings; all delegation leaders stood firm on the official an nouncement "that no comment can be made at this time." Tokio Asked to Deride. fc It was pointed out by unofficial Japanese that whatever may have been proposed at today's meeting had to be referred to Tokio because Jap anese delegates do not have plenipo tentiary powers and because Tokio would need to consider the situation as It may affect the existing mlnistrv. The whole development, however, I was represented by delegation spokesmen as Justifying optimism. One, other than the Japanese, charac terized the situation s "most favor able" and added that today's confer ence was one of the most important held.v In behalf of the Japanese, a further point was emphasized in this way: "Japan has no intention to wreck the conference. At the same time Japan must satisfy the demands oof the emjpire that the national defense shall be adequate. The problem Is to harmonize these two issues and it is' the problem Immediately confronting Admiral Kato. Japan is striving tc settle the naval ratio question on the basis of consideration of national de fense alone. There is no desire or intention to bargain on the questioner to mm to be giving up the position on the ratio In exchirige for some ad vantage elsewhere." Indications are that the next move may not become apparent for a day or t0; While the Japanese are com municating wlth Tokio some of the British delegates are leaving the city for the week-end. Conference Lasts Trro Hoifr. The conference lasted about two hours. One delegatian spokesman re ferred to it as one of the most import ant discussions yet held which would mean much to the success of the conference as a whole. The result -ft as "most favorable," he added. ' There were some Indications that the Japanese viewpoint on naval V X i ration was ocing orougnt more Into harmony with the American. It was f understood that In the discussions of far eastern affairs some concessions J of opinion were made toward the . ICuucluUuU trn 2, Column 3.) Soldier Allotments Collected Says She's "A Nut on Doughboys But Dislikes Marines." CHICAGO. Dec. 2. Helen Ferguson Drexler of Waukegan, 111., daughter of a Brooklyn, N. T., family, who ad mits she is a. ."nut on soldiers and sailors, but don't like marines," is in a cell at the county Jail trying to re call the names of 11 of her 15 bus bands. Equipped with one baby and a pen chant for hero husbands, she is al leged by the government to have col lected as high as 1400 a month In soldiers' allotment contracts from the government for three years. The baby was listed as the child of each suc cessive husband and drew an allot ment, too. In 1917, she eayi, she married Wil fred Taylor, a soldier, and they had a son, now aged 3.' Next she married Paul Moler, a sol dier, then Thomas Meehan, a sailor, at Great Lakes, and next Albert Drexler, a soldier at Camp Grant. Al though she has retained Drexler's name, there have been at least 11 hus bands since him, she estimates. She never obtained any divorces, she says. SURTAXES TO BE CITED Harding's Message to Deal With Tariff Matters as Well. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 2. Sur tax provisions of the revenue law im posing maximum levies of 50 per cent on Incomes are expected to be the subject of comment in President Har dsag's message to congress December 6. Tariff matters, it was reiterated today, may be expected to occupy a prominent place in the communica tion. The Wood-Forbes report on the, Philippines probably will be referred to by President Harding, but it Is said he will not reinforce its recom mendation at present with the re quest that congress modify legisla tive powers possessed by the Philip pine government. Philippine dele gates to the American congress and other representatives of the Philip pine people will be heard before the Wood-Forbes suggestions of substi tutes fot hero will be heard.

Cherrington, secretary of the execu tive 'committee of the anti-saloon league, declared today in an address to a conference of league workers here. While every effort should be made In America to aid in enforcement, he said, the next great step should be "toward a dry world," through co operation with temperance organiza tions in other countries.

Dail Eireann to Consider Proposals Today. parCey may be delayed Wait Until After Arms Con ference Is Suggested. TIME MAY HELP MATTERS Neither Sinn Fein Nor Ulster Is Willing to Keep Lloyd George From Washington Session. LONDON, Dec. 2. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Eyes of all those In terested In Ireland are fixed on Dub lin, seat of the Dail Eireann. All Sinn Fein peace delegates have left London to meet with the cabinet to morrow to consider the government's latest proposals for settlement of the strife between England and Ulster and Southern Ireland. It is possible delegates will ask the Dail Eireann cabinet, whether it would consent to adlournment of the negotiations tor a certain period in the hops that time might bring the two sides closer together and Inci dentally, permit Premier Lloyd George to attend the Washington conference. The Sinn Fein delegates went home not all optimistic regarding the de cision of their cabinet. War Resumption la Doubted. There is some difference of opinion respecting renewal of armed strife, should thetruce be denounced. Offi cials "declare that It would not be possible to keep the Irish republican asmy and crown forces from clash ing. On the other h,and. business and professional men in Irish towns and landowners and merchants In the country cannot bring themselves to believe the government will risk, as they put It, losing the sympathy of the outside world by starting to "clear up" Ireland, or that the men of the republican army, who have had six months' comfort, voluntarily would go back to the hills. Prime Minister Lloyd George, again got In touch with Sinn Fein represent atives here late today, but on what phase of the situation It did not ap pear. The member of the delegation who saw the premier was Michael Collins, who at E o'clock had an in terview with Mr. Lloyd George and Sir Robert Home, chancellor of the exchequer. Time Expected to Help. It is understood Mr. Lloyd George is planning to go to Washington in the belief fliat the apparent impasse ir. the Irish negotiations is one which time may help to solve. An evenuallty which might conceivably offer greater obstacles to the premier's early trip is the necessity for France and Brlt- ain to formulate a clearer and more (Concluded on Page 3. Column 1.)

Virtually all ' business was suspended today as a conse quence of the serious rioting which raged here yesterday. Damage is estimated by the newspapers at many billions of crowns. The plate glass losses aleme are said to be roftre than 600.000,000 crowns. The business streets presented a desolate expanse of iron shuttered or boarded up shops, intersperse4 with broken glass doors and.windows, dis closing wrecked and looted Interiors. In addition to the attacks on the fashionable hotels and shops many persons were dragged from showy automobiles and beaten. Among those who were roughly handled was S't; A. M. Goode of the Austrian sectloa, of the reparations commission, who occupied the state suite of the old Bristol hotel. His apartment was de stroyed and many of his personal effects were stolen. Presenting the views of working men, the Arbeiter Zeitung says the riot came as a result of miseries and despair and x warns the government and the monied classes. No deaths have been reported, but a police official said that many had been injured by the mobs In 'the'r orgies of plunder and destruction. The police stood idly by while the mobs worked their will, some even expressing sympathy with the rioters.

Conferees Take Up Ques ' tion of Shantung. HEART OF DISPUTE REACHED Positions Outlined But No Peace Move Is Made. RAILWAY IS MAIN ISSUE Informal 'Round Table' Discussions Held following Presentation of Rival Attitudes. WASHINGTON. D. C, Deo. 2 (By the Associated Press.) Delegates of China and Japan in their conversa tions brought about by the Hughes Balfour offer of good offices for the settlement of the Shantung contro versy went to the heart of the dispute today, each nation reasserting posi tions taken in the four recent notes exchanged between Tokio and Pekln with particular reference to the Tsing-Tao-Tsi-Nan-Fu railroad. The Chinese delegates made clear that in entering into this informal conference for the settlement of the Shantung dispute they had "no desire to have it Inferred" that China had receded from Its known attitude with reference to the treaties and statutes which are in dispute between the two countries relative to the Kiau Chow leasehold. Japan Position Presented., The Japanes delegates presented the Japanese position concerning con trol of the Tsing-Tao-Tsi-Nan-Fu railroad on the basis of the Japanese note of September 7, looking to joint control. Delegates participating In the meet ing today made it known that the conversations were conducted in a frank and friendly spirit. Conversa tions will be resumed Monday. Informal "round table" discussions which followed presentation of the positions of the two countries rela tive to the disputed Klau-Chow leased territory centered on the con trol of the railroad. Chtna' Stand IlrauertMl, Dr. Wellington Koo for China re asserted the position tha,t the railroad be owned and administered by. the Chinese government as set forth in China's reply of October 5 to Japan's. offer of September 7 to restore the Klau-Chow lease heltj, conditionally. While the exchange of views was said to have been animated by the friendliest spirit and purpose to rec oncile the respective demands, the first step directed toward a modifica tion of positions on either side re mains to be taken. China's stand for undivided authority over the railroad was said by a Chinese delegate after the meeting still to be firm. -Joint Operation Suggested. The Japanese advanced their propo sition that the railroad should be operated as a Joint Chlno-Japanese enterprise, bellevisg this to embody conciliation, since Germany, -whose rights Japan contends she has Inher ited, had controlled the line entirely. Dr. Koo, in order, he said, to set at rest any possible misconception of the Chinese delegation, announcing opposition toward "direct negotia tions of the Shantung controversy, declared tonight ha considered con versations as "not negotiations at all, but conferences around the table, col lateral with the Washington confer ence." ' Communique la leaned. .. The communique. Issued after the meeting of the Chinese and Japanese delegates, said: "At the first meeting of the Chinese and Japanese delegates held yester day relative to Shantung and In re sponse to the opening remark's of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour expressing their gratification in the acceptance by China and Japan M their good offices and their desire 4o extend their friendly intervention with a view to securing a fair and satis factory arrangement of this question. Baron Kato and Dr. Sze replied as follows: "Japanese statement of the Shang tung question: " 'We are sincerely gratified by the opportunity afforded us to meet with the representatives of China in an attempt to arrive at a satisfactory adjustment of the Shantung question. We cannot let this occasion pass with out expressing our deep appreciation of the good offices of Secretary Hughes and Mr. Balfour. Settlement 1 Desired. '"It is' needless for us to assure you that Japan is eagerly looking forward to an early settlement of this long pending controversy. It is the desire of the Japanese people to eliminate all' cause of misunderstanding be tween China and Japan in orderhat these two. neighboring nations may live in perfect harmony. And we have no doubt that this sentiment is fully shared by our Chinese friends. 'We are not unmindful of the dif ficulties with which the Chinese gov ernment is being confronted in enter ing into direct negotiations. We are. however, confident that if approached from a broader perspective the ques tion should be suscepUMe of a speedy solution. ""The term "Shantung quejtfon" Is Itself a misnoAer. The question Is The sheriffs office last night put the deft finishing touch to a neat bit of sleuthing by arresting John Print er, sixth and last member of the Liberty theater gang of robbers, as he was assisted a friend, John Pobo chinko, in the operation of a moon shine still under Pobochlnko's barn. The Pobochinko farm is a mile and a half from Tobias station on the Southern Pacific electric. Printer denied that he had re ceived a majcr portion of the lott,, thereby flatly contradicting Barney, janitor-hero-robber, who declared Printer had stolen his share. Printer turned over $600, spying that It was all he had left of his original share of $200.1. He asserted that Barney got $1700. and Lecn SerecHck and Joe Watkins $1900 each, accounting for $?520 of the $9000 that was stolen. Deputies said last night that Printer toll a consistent story and stuck to it. Tlff-y openly charged Barney with falsifying. I.ast Saturday night, when the 'Portland deputits approached the Printer home in Vancouver, Printer told Deputy Sheriff Christof ferson, he saw them enter. He went to a friend's house in Camas, stayed there until Sunday night, then came to Portland by jitney, .went to Hlllsboro and thence to the Pobochinko farm, where he knew he would be welcome. Deputy Christofferspn, emulating the detectives of fiction, called Depu ties Schirmer, Mollenhour, Becman and Wolff into consultation, as a collective eort af a Dr. Watkin,s. A process of logic and deduction then pointed to the Pobochinko rm as the best " hunch" to play. Young Andrew Printer took Christofferson to within a half mile of the house yesterday afternoon and pointed it out to him. They then returned to trft- city, but Christofferson and his men sur rounded the premises Immediately after darkness had fallen. With them was Sheriff Alexander of Washington county, who had been requested to meet them at Aloha. While Christofferson and Schirmer stood at the front door talking with Mrs. Pobochinko, who denied that either her hushand or Printer were on the farm, the deputies on outside wathc heard voices from the direction of the barn.' Like a cat after a mouse, the officers surprised Printer and Pobochinko as they sat in a crimpy cave beneath the barn floor. It was a cozy, stUl-side reene, with a 50 gallon still simmering and warming the ruminating pair of Russians. Nearby were two vats containing about 500 gallons of corn mash. Printer, seoing the officers before Pobochinko, jumped to his feet, sprang out of the cave and attempted to dodge behind an automobile and escape. One of the deputies covered him with his revolver, whereupon Printer changed his mind about as caping. "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I m John Printer," he cried. The Portland deputies brought Printer to the county jail, where he was cofronted by Barney and Bar nye's tale of the spoils division, wherein Printer was alleged to have escaped with about $3000 of his part ner's shares of loot. Printer is a stolid,' florid-faced Russian, a laborer in appearance, and his mind evidently operated i:i the same stolid manner. He told his story and. stuck to it and a steam roller could not move him from his position against Ins will. In light of what could be learned last night, Printer seemed only to have been a tool of the foxy Janitor, Barney, who ran with hounds and foxes both, being a fox at the end of the chase. Sheriff Alexander arrested John Pobochinko and his son Jack, lodging them in Jail at Hillsboro on a charge of violating the prohibition laws. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

Hundreds crowded the courtroom and adjoining corridors after the din ner period, and the door leading Into the Jury room was barricaded on the outside by a table and several chairs to keep the crowd away from It.
