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

harmony with the American. It was
f understood that In the discussions of
far eastern affairs some concessions

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.

Proposals Today.

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

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-

Paper Says Trouble Result of De
spair of People Warning
Given Monied Classes.
VIENNA. Dec. 2 (By the Asso
ciated Press.) 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.

HEART OF DISPUTE REACHED
Positions Outlined But No

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

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.

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

these two. neighboring nations may
live in perfect harmony. And we have
no doubt that this sentiment is fully
shared by our Chinese friends.

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.
