FOUR POINTS GAINED
BY CHINA AT PARLEY
Wireless Control, Neutrality,
Property Return Assured.
CONFERENCE TO BE SET
Admiral and General Declared to
Have Resigned Because of Way
Shantung Matter Goes.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 7. (By
the Associated Press.) Optimism pre
vailed in Japanese and Chinese circles
tonight over the prospect of a satis
factory solution of far eastern ques
tions as a result of meetings today at
which many Involved problems were
discussed. Important developments
included:
'Adoption of a resolution involving
preservation of the territorial Integ
rity of China, giving her control over
all foreign wireless stations in China.
Adoption of a resolution providing
for the neutrality of China in iinure
wars to which China Is not a party.
Agreement by the Japanese, subject
In part to approval by Toklo. that all
public property in the Klao-Chow
leasehold -of the Shantung province
be transferred to China.
A tentative agreement by the Japa
new, to delay no longer than Satur
day further discussion of control of
the Kiao-Chow-Tslnan TV railway in
Shantung.
Strife In Delegation Reported.
Somewhat offsetting the progress
made were assertions and denials of
further resignations and dissensions
in th Chinese delecation.
Dr. Alfred Sxe, Chinese minister to
Washington and a delegate, denied
there had been any resignations of
high officials other than that or ut
Philip K. C. Tyau as general secre
tary, which was announced Monday.
"I cannot emphasize too strongly."
he said, "that the three (jninese ueie
gates are pulling together. There is
no dissension. There have been
points on which we have not always
agreed as to procedure, but we have
. conferred together always with the
view of harmonizing them, and this
we have done."
He said that resignations through
dissatisfaction with the progress made
must not be confused with possible
departures of Chinese officials
through the need of cutting down the
sTze of the delegation because of in
sufficient funds.
Resignations Are Humorrd.
In other Chinese sources It was in
sisted Admiral Tsai Chow Tzu-Cht
nnd General Huang Fu, superior ad
visers, had resigned through die
pleasure with the manner In which
the Shantung controversy was being
treated.
At the meeting of the far eastern
committee today Dr. Wellington Woo,
for China, made a statement concern
ing Manchuria and other -leased ter
ritories In China in response o the
Japanese position taken at the meet
ing last week "that it would not at
this time" withdraw from that prov
ince. There was said to have been con
siderable further discussion of leased
'crrltories in China, but no final
agreement was reached, the Chinese
and Japanese delegates explaining
their separate negotiations regarding
Shantung were somewhat Involved In
the conference question of leased ter
ritories and therefore it was consid
ered advisable first to make further
headway with the Shantung negotia
tions. A communique said:
"The committee on Pacific and far
eastern questions met at 11 o'clock
this morning. The following report
of the sub-committee on draft in re
gard to radio stations in China was
submitted:
" 'The sub-committee on drafting
begs to report the following resolu
tion regarding radio stations in
China:
"'Representatives of the powers
hereinafter named participating In
the discussion of Pacific and far east
ern questions In Ihe conference, to
wit: the United States, Belgium, the
British empire, China. France, Italy,
Japan, The Netherlands and Portugal,
have resolved:
"'That all radio stations In China,
whether maintained under the inter
national protocol of September 7, 1901,
or in fact maintained in the grounds
of any of the foreign legations in
China, shall be limited in their use to
sending and receiving government
messages and shall not receive or
send commercial or personal or un
official messages. Including press
matter, provided, however, that In
case all other telegraphic communica
tion is Interrupted, then, upon offi
cial notification accompanied by proof
of such interruption of the Chinese
ministry of communications, such sta
tions may afford temporary facilities
for commercial, personal or unoffi
cial messages. Including press matter,
until the Chinese government has
given notice of the termination of the
interruption.
Foreign Messages Restrleted.
" 'All radio stations operated wlth
Ip China by a foreign government or
the citizens or subjects thereof, under
treaties or concessions of the gov
ernment of China, shall limit the mes
sages by the terms of the treaty foi;
concessions under which the respec
tive stations are, maintained.
"'In cafe there be any radio station
maintained in China by a foreign gov
ernment or citizens or subjects there
of without the authority of the Chi
nese government, such station and
all the plants, apparatus and material
thereof shall be transferred to and
taken over by the government of
China, to be operated under the Chi
nese ministry of communications upon
fair and full compensation to the
owners for the value of the installa
tion, as soon as the Chinese ministry
of communications Is prepared to op
erate the same effectively for the
general public benefit.
" 'If any questions shall arise as to
the radio stations In leased territor
ies In the south "Manchuria railway
zone or In the French concession at
Shanghai, they shall be regarded as
matters for discussion between the
Chinese government and the govern
ments concerned.
" The owners or managers of all
radio stations maintained In China by
foreign powers or citizens or sub
jects thereof shall confer with the
Chinese ministry of communications
for seeking a common agreement to
avoid Interference In the use of wave
lengths by wireless stations in China
subject to such general arrange
ments as may be made by an Interna
tional conference convened for the re
visions of the rules established by
the international radio telegraph
convention signed at London. July 5,
Further Progress Urged.
"Mr. Vlvlani gave his unreserved
support to the resolution proposed by
the committee on draft, which, he
said. Indicated real progress toward
a solution. Ho said he would like
to express again an idea previously
formulated. The conference had made
a first step, but It was most desirable J
that further progress be made. To !
this end a general agreement should !
be reached which would result lu
the regulation of the competition now
prevailing with regard to' wireless
telegraphy in China a competition
which If prolonged might easily re
sult in a hopeless tangle. Competi
tion must be replaced by co-operatidn.
LHe added that views similar to this
had been developed by the United
States government.
"The chairman then stated that the
American delegation was In full sym
pathy with Mr. Vlvlani's idea and
wished once more to suggest that
Mr. Vivlanl might care to bring in a
resolution giving effect to It."
The above report of the sub-committee
on draft was then unanimously
adopted.
"The committee discussed leased
territories in China. Dr. Koo made
the following statement:
" 'At the meeting of the committee
December 3, Mr. Hanlhara read a
statement outlining the position of
Japan with reference to the leased
territories of Klao-Chow and Kwan
tung peninsula. The declaration that
Japan succeeded Germany in the
leasehold of Kiao-Chow under the
treaty of' Versailles Is obviously one
unilateral In character to which
China, not being a party to that
treaty, cannot be expected to sub
scribe. Danger Again Emphasized.
""It Is, however, gratifying to note
the reference to the fact referred to
In the statement that Japan obtained
her leased territories in China not
directly from her but from other
powers at considerable sacrifice in
men and treasure, because this As
surance appears to confirm the views
of the Chinese delegation that the
maintenance of foreign leased terri
tories in China Jeopardizes peace in
the far east. It will be recalled that
Russia's possession of Port Arthur
and Dalny and Germany s possession
of 'Klao-Chow eventually brought
two wars on Chinese territory and
resulted in the Installation of Japan
ese In these leased areas.
" 'As "to the leased territory of Port
Arthur and Dalny, Its crlginal term
will expire In 1925, and while an ex
tension to 99 years was obtained by
Japan In 1915, it was obtained In such
circumstances that the dispute about
its validity remains one of the most
grave outstanding questions between
China and Japan.
Both Port Arthur and Dalny are
situated In Manchuria, whicu Is an
Important part of Chinese territory.
Not only does the latlona' safety of
China rely on the safeguarding oi
Manchuria as an integral portion ot
the Chinese republic because these
three eastern provinces have been
the historic road of Invasion into
China, but also the security of the
economic life of the Chinese people
depends In a very vital measure upon
the conservation and development
with the surplus capital' of '.he world
of the natural and agricultural re
sources In Mnnctiurla.
China's Interests Held First
It Is clear that China has such
truly vital Interests in Manchuria that
the Interests of any foreign power
therein, however important they be
in themselves, cannot compare with
them. The fact of close propinquity
of Manchuria to Corea, If !t Justi
fies any claim to consideration, can
be equitably appealed to only on the
condition of reciprocity.
'As to the statement that assur
ance was given by the American,.
British and French governments at
the formation of the international
consortium that the vital Intereets of
Japan rti Manchuria shall be safe
guarded, the Chinese delegation doi s
not, feel in a position, since ri!na
was not consulted, to express an apln
ten as to the question of its accuracy.
Should such assurarTCe have been
given,-they could not. however, con
ceal their feelings that It cannot be
reconciled with the principle adopted
by the conference November 21, of re
spect for the sovereignty, the Inde
pendence and the territorial and ad
ministrative Integrity of China.'"
Warning (ilvrn Delegations.
' 'As to Kow Loon, leased to Great
Britain, much Is to be said of the im
portance of Hongkong to the trade of
nations, and for the way in which
its facilities are made accessible to
the traders of the world, and while
there may be a necessity to Provide
for the protection of the Hongkong
harbor In the Interests of such trade,
the retention of Kow Loon may not
necessarily be) In the view of the
Chinese delegation, the sole solution
of this problem.' . y
The chairman observed that in the
discussion reference had been made
by the Japanese and Chinese repre
sentatives to the attitude of the
United States In relation to the con
sortium. He assumed that the rep
resentatives of Japan and China had
no intention to refer to anything
other than the correspondence already
published.
china Gets Pledge.
The proposal fof the Chinese dele
gation that China s rights as a
neutral, are to be fully respected IB
future wars to which she is not a
party' was'" unanimously adopted
after a statement ! Dr. Wong as
foljows: .
" The proposition advanced by the
Chinese delegation is an obvious one;
It Is In subBtance a corollary of the
first 'of the four resolutions adopted
by this committee November 21. This
subject would not be presented for
discussion except 'for the fact that in
the past China's rights have been
prievously disregarded. I need only
refer you to the Russo-Japanese war,
which was fought on Chinese soli.
Again at the time of the military ex
pedition against Tsingtao in the late
war, belligerent troops landed at a
point 150 miles from the leased terri
tory of Kiaochow.
" It is clear that should similar in
cidents occur there would be fur
nished Just cause of complaint by the
non-offend,ing belligerent powers, not
only against the offending belligerent
power, but also against China. Fur
thermore, they would tend to weaken
throughout the world the respect due,
In time of war, to neutral powers.'
"The committee then adjourned to
meet tomorrow."
I. N. DAY GETS INTO JAM
Senator Wapcs Determined Fight
With Women to Hear Harding.
OREGON NEWS BUREAU. Wash
Ington, D. C, Dec. 7. I N. Day of
Oregon today made a determined fight
to gain entrance t the senate gal
lery to hear President Harding de
liver his message. Senator Day ap
peared at the public gallery of the
senate holding the one ticket at the
disposal of Senator McNary to fight
an army of women struggling for en
trance. Senator Day threw hie en
tire 200 odd pounds into the combat
to get In, but Chesterfield that he la
he withdrew when It, seemed that
the women applicants were seeking
admission with equal authority.
Standing tor some time on the side,
lines, Senator Day soon discovered
that the most of the women had come
without ticket and. therefore were
not entitled to seats. He started in
again. He was beset fore and aft but
with his dignified heft soon pierced
the first, then the second and the
third lines and carrying his hat ar
rived down In the third row of the
balcony a few minutes before Mr.

PERJURY HEARING BEGUN
District Attorney Says He Has N'it
Sufficient Evidence of Charge
About Jury Tampering.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 7. (Special.)
After declaring his conviction of the
innocence of Roscoe Arbuckle, Joseph
M. Schenck, who has large motion
picture Interests and whose wife is
known on the screen as Norma Tal
madge, today made some interesting
assertions in connection with the
film star's defenae against the man
slaughter charge.
Schenck declared thjt because of
his friendship for Arbuckle, who had
worked for him in the movies, he
volunteered to advance the accused
actor funds with which to finance his
defense In the recent trial.
Regarding the much discussed ques
tion of lawyers' fees, Schenck denied
that Arbuckle's counsel had received
huge sums of money.
"It ia well known," said Schenck.
"that Attorney McNab received ap
proximately $26,000 from Jack Demp
sey for defending htm on the. slacker
charge, but I can state positively thai
McXab's fee In the Arbuckle case is
much less than that amount. However,
I do not feel at liberty to state the
exact amount agreed upon, because I
feel that would l.,- unfair to the at
torney. I can say, however, that the
entire defense cost leas than 35,000.
McNab Grllla Actor.
"Before Attorney McNab agreed to
defend Arbuckle he subjected the de
fendant to a far more severe grilling
than Arbuckle underwent at the hands
of the representatives of the district
attorney's office. And' Gavin McNab
conducted his private grilling In far
more efficient manner than did the
prosecuting counsel at the trial. It
was not until McNab had thoroughly
gone into all phases of the charges
against Arhuckle and was completely
satisfied In his own mind that Ar
buckle was innocent and that he had
received rather unfair treatment here
that McNab agreed to act as the de
fense counsel.
'As far as there having been any
huge defense fund, that la all 'bunk.'
No funds other than these I agreed
to supply and the small amount that
Arbuckle was able to get together
have been spent In Arbuckle's de
fense. Fee Yet I'npald.
"McNab agreed to wait until the
trial was ended before he accepted
any payment for his services. Neither
Gavin McNab nor anyone else Iden
tified with his office have received
one penny as yet fr their services.
"Milton Cohen has been Arbuckle's
attorney for several years and re- j
ceives an annual ree. in aaanion iu
this he will probably receive the
actual amount spent by him while in
San Francisco on this case. Attorney
Brennan was very fair in agreeing
to hia fee. In fact, no one identified
with the defense of Roscoe Arbuckle
attempted to mulct him of his money.
Arbuckle. aa a matter of fact, had
but very little money to begin with,
because he Is young and too much of
a good fellow for his own good,
financially, and always too sus
ceptible, to pleas of friends for
funds."
Acting Lieutenant of Police Lam
bert had on file with Chief of Police
Dan O'Brien today a denial that he
was implicated in the alleged at
tempt to influence the verdict of Mrs.
Helen M. Hubbard. Arbuckle Juror.
Lambert wrote In his report:
"I attended ahe trial about four
times, my sole purpose being merely
to hear Attorney McNab, whom I had
never seen before In a court case."
Captain l-f'.-nd Officer.
Lambert's superior officer. Captain
Fred Lemon, informed Chief O'Brien
that the charge against Lambert ap
peared "unwarranted."
McNab says he expects Arbuckle's
second trial, which is scheduled to
start January 9. will be much shorter
than the first, but Brady looks for
difficulty in obtaining a Jury and
said the evidence will be much more
carefully presented. He is to direct
the prosecution himself, he says.
District Attorney Brady today an
nounced that the investigation of
alleged attempts to tamper with the
Arbuckle manslaughter Jury has thus
far failed to reveal anything war
ranting a grand Jury Investigation,
but that the prdbe of the charges of
the Jurywoman, Mrs. Helen M. Hub
bard, .is still under way.
When asked if he would, oppose pro
bation for Roscoe Arbuckle in case of
a conviction resulting from the film
comedian's second trial, Brady said
emphatically that he would not
"Arbuckle will be treated no differ
ently from any other defendant," said
Brady, "I have never opposed proba
tion, and would not in this case."
Preliminary hearing of a perjury
charge against Mrs. Minnie Neighbors
of Los Angeles, in connection with
her testimony in the case, was begun
in police court today. Mrs. Mary Pou
lln. hostess of a Ventura county health
resort, said to have been visited by
Miss Virginia Rappe, whose death led
to the charge against Arbuckle. was
the last witness today. Her testi
mony will be resumed tomorrow.
Mrs. Neighbors had testified 'that
Miss Rappe visited the resort In Au
gust, 1921, and that she assisted Miss
Rappe during a period of illness there.
Mrs. Poulin testified that there was
no record of Miss Rappe's ever hav
ing visited the resort.
Mrs. Kate Hardebeck, housekeeper
for Miss Rappe, alBo testified today
that she had either seen or heard
from Miss Rappe every day during
August and had no knowledge of Miss
Rappe's having been to the health
resort.

$2000 Damages.
Not only does A. A. Pearson wish

n a second-hand automobile pur
chased from the Fields Motor Car

company, buA he asked punitive dam
ages of $2000 because of alleged mis
representations. In a suit filed in the
circuit court yesterday.
On July 18. Pearson and his wife,
neither of whom had ever owned an
automobile and knew nothing ot
them, contracted to buy a used ma
chine for $636.85. of which 1251.40
has been paid. They relied on the
word of -the salesman that It was In
excellent condition and guaranteed.
It was said. After the sale had been
made and Pearson tried to operate
the automobile, he learned that it
possessed a scored cylinder, a knock
In the engine, loose spokes In a rear
wheel, two broken spring leaves, a
leaky feed pipe, worthless tires, a
defective speedometer, faulty gears,
and a worn-out battery, he charged.
On October 1 he demanded a settle
ment and was offered 139, not in cash,
but to be applied on the sale price of
another used automobile, he asserted.
Pearson declared he wished to buy
the machine in order to take trips for
the benefit of his health, but that it
was impossible for him to make more
than one trip and that the trouble
encountered on that Journey because
of automobile ills caused it to be of
Injury rather than benefit to him.

SECOND WINTER FAIR
OPENS IN ASHLAND
Big Annual Event Is Opened
With Numerous Exhibits.
POULTRY DIVISION LEADS
Horticultural Products Are Next
in Importance With Livestock
Taking Prominent Place.
ASHLAND, Or., Dec. 7. (Special.)
With livestock, poultry, fruit and in
dustrial exhibits quartered in three
buildings in different parts of the
city, the second annual winter fair
opened here today for a four-day
slww in which approximately $1300 In
prizes will be given away. Exhibits
continued to arrive today and mere
are expected tomorrow. It is esti
mated that 250 entries already have
been made.
Although the apple and fruit dis
play are a close second and make the
flashiest showing, the poultry divi
sion is the dominant feature of the
fair. Many exhibits from Portland.
Eugene and other northern cities are
entered in this division.
Orchard Exhibits Fine.
The horticulture exhibits, apples
and the like, are several times more
extensive than last year. The poultry
is one-third larger. Although Jack
son county rtock raisers and several
from Josephine county have entered
exhibits, the livestock division is not
quite so large as originally expected
owing to housing difficulties.
The Jackson County Fair associa
tion has utilized the remnants of the
exhibits at the state fair and have
decorated a booth that is attracting
much attention.
The winter fair Is conducted under
the auspices of the chamber of com
merce and is the culmination of plans
made this slimmer. Outside of dona
tions made by the county court, the
city and other public sources the ex
pense is partially borne by funds
raised through benefit sales and ad
mission charges of 50 cents.
Show Replaces County Fair.
The show is considered to be rep
resentative exposition, taking the
place of the county fair which was
not held this year. The Judges are:
Professor Fitz of the Oregon Agri
cultural college, livestock; B. F.
Keeney of Eugene, poultry, and Pro
fessor Reimer. talent experiment sta
tion, fruit and vegetable.
The schools of the county are rap
resented by nearly 600 individual ex
hibits, ranging from, kindergarten
paper cuttings to dresses and fur
niture made by high sehool students.
The automobile exhibit, the first to
be held In Ashland, exceeded expecta
tions and is one of the main features.
Speakers tonight were John E.
Gratke 'of Portland; C. E. Gates,
mayor of Medford, and State Senator
Thomas of Medford.
PHONE EXCHANGE PLAN
Linn- Fanners' Lines May Cut
Loose From Big Company.
EUGENE. Or., Dec. 7. (Special.)
What is considered the first step In
severance of relations between the
farmers' telephone lines of Lane
county and the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company Is expected to be
taken by the members of the grange
at Irving. At the last meeting of this
organization a resolution favoring
discontinuance of the service of the
telephone company by January 1 and
the establishment of a central ex
change In Eugene for all farmers'
lines was adopted.
Ever since the charges for service
through the Eugene exchange of the

year ago there has been agitation for
severance from tHe company's lines.

THE MASTER INSTRUMENT
Do You Walk With
a Smiie or a Limp?
Wearers of Cantilever Shoes walk
with an easy poise that bespeaks
freedom from foot troubles. Thev
step out with easy carriage, ankle's
straight and steady, feet arched with
natural grace. They can walk for a
long time without fatigue. And that
swinging walk brings health and a
greater capacity for happiness.
Well-fitted shoes contribute Impor
tantly to your strength and to sour
happiness. They must provide room
for the toes, and freedom for the
flexible arch of the foot. They must
not check the free play of the
muscles.
Ordinary stiff -shanked shoes bind
the foot anil prohibit Its natural
movement. But the Cantilever Shoe
has a flexible shank that bends wHh
the foot. The shoe yields with every
step, encourages the foot muscles to
exercise, and keep strong.
The Cantilever last Tollows the out
line of the toot. The toes may stretch
luxuriously. They point ahead as
they should for comfort and correct
posture. The set of the heel tends to
distribute the weight so that the body
is well-poised. And the shoes are
good-looking, graceful, trim, correct.
