WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. a.
(Special.) The public generally dis
tant from Washington must be more
than a little dismayed to find some
writers and others casting a balance,
so to speak, on the arms conference
and coming- to a tepidly comfortable
conclusion that on the whole it has
been a success.
The contrast between the Bpirlt of
the. opening day and the spirit of the
closing days Is undoubtedly real, but
If you look Into It closely you will
find that mere psychology plays a
larger part in it than the funda
mental facts do. Thoughtful persons
foresaw the dramatic anti-climax,
which is the chief cause of the pres
ent rather f lattened-out feeling. I
suspect that Mr. Hughes himself
foresaw It and calmly counted it in
the cost as against the advantages
he gained by making his sensational
opening speech.
- The day that peace was made there
was a famous American humorist In
Washington who remarked, with the
Intentional exaggeration of his role,
"I'm going back home. This is going
to be a bum show. They've pulled
off the big murder in the first scene."
Dramatics Rule Violated.
Now that sounds merely frivolous,
but it tells the. whole story. It Is not
for nothing that generations and cen
turies; of dramatists have- learned
that there is a law of the human
mind when It is in the role of spec
tator which requires that you must
have the big scene in the th(rd act
or otherwise have your show flatten
out In an anti-climax. Mr. Hughes
and the American delegates violated
this rule, and did it with their eyes
open, and they are now quite serene
in facing the foreseen revolt of an
anti-climax, as far as the spectators
are concerned.
The conference as a show Is one
thing, but as a mechanism for achiev
ing certain results it is quite an
other thing. It is the conference as a
how that the less thoughtful pub
lic now sees and finds a bit dis
appointing. If the whole thing had
been reversed, if we had had all the
disputes and disagreements In the
opening weeks, and if. on one of the
closing days, Mr. Hughes should have
come out with an unexpected an
nouncement such as that Great Brit
ain, Japan and America had agreed
to stop naval competition and take a
ten-year naval holiday, then the eame
persons who now see the conference
as a dramatic anti-climax would be
seeing it as what it intrinsically Is a
sensational and unprecedented suc
cess.
Some Called Pessimist.
Further than this. It Is an unhappy
fact that with some of those who
now proclaim the conference a fail
ure it Is a case either of tempera
mental pessimism or some other form
of lack of kinship with the atmos
phere of enthusiasm and such. The
truth is that the effective opposition
to s-uccess in this conference, meas
ured In terms of population and other
values, is not more than 20 per cent.
If the conference were an ordinary
parliamentary gathering, this 20 per
cjnt minority would be bowled over
unceremoniously.
But the conference Is a case where
decisions must be unanimous. When
this limitation is remembered, the
wonder Is not the relatively small
failures of the gathering, but its great
successes.
Even the failures have had the
good effect of drawing out over
whelming evidence of fact namely,
that the majority of the peoples and
governments of the world favor the
purposes of the conference. This
minority that resists will find its
position increasingly untenable. There
will be other conferences like this.
TheySvill come soon, and in them the
resistance will be a constantly dimin
ishing factor. i

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
TRUSTEE SELECTED
Judge Names Fred Lamson
to Act Temporarily.
COURT TO DIRECT ACTS
Post to Be Kept Until Hearings on
Church Row Have Been Com
pleted and Case Decided.
BOSTON, Jan. 3. Judge Crosby o!
the supreme court announced today
that he would appoint Fred M. Lam
son, vice-president of the Old Colony
Trust company, here, and a Christian
Scientist, as temporary trustee to
take charge of the affairs of the
Christian Science Publishing society,
when details as to his duties had been
defined. Trustees of the publishing
society and directors of the first
church of Christ, Scientist, had in
formed the court that they had
agreed on Mr. Lamson.
Judge Crosby decided Mr. Lamson
should be designated as temporary
trustee, rather than temporary re
ceiver, as had been suggested by
counsel for the trustees, but that he
should be responsible to the court and
should not exercise powers given by
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy to the trustees
under her deed of trust. He will hold
his post until the court has deter
mined after further hearings whether
the directors acted in good faith In
removing Herbert W. Eustace and
Paul Harvey as trustees and has
acted on various other matters before
the court.
Compromise la Reached
Counsel for John V. Dittemore. who
Is contesting his removal from the
board of directors, also agreed to the
appointment of Mr. Lamson. In argu
ments before the court ex-Governor
Bates, for the directors,' contended
that the supreme court in its decree
on the protracted Christian Science
litigation had held that the directors
had the right to supervise publication
of all literature sent out for the bene
fit of the church and had control over
the trustees. Judge Crosby said there
was nothing in the decision giving
the directors the right to exercise
powers conferred on the trustees un
der Mrs. Eddy's deed or to carry on
the business of the publishing society.
Herman L Whipple, counsel for the
trustees, said they had made a net
profit- of more than 375.000 in 1921.
Mr. Bates retorted that if the trustees
had managed affairs to the satlsfac
tion of all Christian Scientists they
would have paid the church from
profits $1,600,000.
.fudge Soma l'p Case.
Judge Crosby, in summing up mat
ters not yet disposed of, said it
seemed to him that the difference be
tween the trustees and the directors
was the desire of the trustees to nave
the matter of the accounts passed upon
in connection with their resignations.
whereas the directors Insisted that
the trustees should resign without
reference to the approval of their ac
counts.
HUNDREDS SEE ROBBERY
DAYLIGHT HOLD-UP IN LOS

company of cash amounting to be
tween 312.000 and Jib.ouu.

bers were using a rented automobile
and that the same men rented the
same car yesterday. Police believe they
ay be the eame men who in South

a safe of the Los Angeles Creamery
company branch there and bound and
gagged the watchmen. Two thou
sand dollars was obtained in that rob
bery. . V

collectors occurred at Sixth and
Broadway streets after the collectors
had taken up the cash from Bales in
five of the drug stores and were
stopping to collect at the sixth. The
robbers, stepping from their rented
automobile, took the cash from the
collectors at the point of a gun, and
jumping back Into their automobile
made their escape with the money.

PUBLIC LAND PROTECTED
INDEMNITY EXCHANGES MUST
CONFORM TO SUBDIVISIONS.
Federal Supreme Court Declares
Account Must Be Taken of
Platting of Domain.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 3. Rail
roads and other owners of public land
who exchange It for other public or
'indemnity lands can be required by
the government, in selecting the "In
demnity" land, to designate a legal
subdivision in its entirety, the su
preme court today held in a case
brought by the Southern-Pt.ciflc com
pany.
The railroad sought to compel the
government to permit It, in exchang
ing land, to select land located in dif
ferent subdivisions. Justice Vande
venter, who declared the opinion of
the court, directed attention to the
wide importance of the decision as a
precedent. The court held that the
government, having adopted a method
of surveying and platting the public
lands, can refuse to permit owners In
selecting "indemnity" -lands to pick
parts of subdfVisions: but can insist
that they must take all or none of
such subdivisions. The court points
out that the exchanges need not "ex
actly match in quantity," but only
that they should "correspond as near
ly as legal subdivisions will permit."

CAVE CREEK FLOOD
I
Grounds of State Capitol Are
Inundated
LITTLE DAMAGE YET DONE!
Deluge in Rural Districts Believed
to Be Less Serious Than
- Flood Last August.
PHOENIX. Ariz.. Jan.- 3. The crest
of the Cave creek flood, which en
tered the Salt River valley lrrlgat'on
district last night, passed through J
Phoenix today without having done
great damage In this city. The damage
In the rural districts also is believed
to be less than that caused by a Cave
creek flood last August.
After efforts to divert the wajer at
a point northwest of the state capitol
to keep the flood from the capitol and
fashionable residence district In that
vicinity had failed, the water spread
over a large portion of the capitol
grounds. There was not sufficient
volume of water, however, 'for it to
enter the building.
Traffic to and from the west over
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
Arizona" Eastern railways still was
suspended tonight as a result of cuts
made in the embankments on which
their tracks are located.' These em
bankments last August served as re
taining walls and caused the water
In the vicinity of the capitol to reach
a much greater depth than otherwise
would have occurred.
The embankments were cut easily
today to give the waters free exit.
Some Water is still coming down
from Cave creek but only in small
volume.
Officials of the waterusere' associa
tion said that the crest of the flood
passed the Arizona canal, 10 miles
north of Phoenix, about 5 o'clock this
morning. At that hour, they said, the
water at the canal dropped 18 inches.
Fear that continued rains might
cause another rise in the water was
expressed, however. Reports here In
dicated that more rain fell in the
Cave creek watershed last night.
The' water entered the city at a
point about a mile and a half from
the state capitol, which is in the di
rect path of the flood.
" Residents of the northwest part of
the city' were moving' from their
homes all morning. Others living In
that section of the city were moving
their furnishings to the upper floors
of their homes.

assailed by Professor L. S. Hopkins,
member of the faculty of the Univer
sity of California, in an attack on
church denomlnat'onaitsm made In his
address on "Co-operative Christian
ity" yesterday afternoon at the open
ing session of a commun'ty church
conference in the Young Men's Chris
tian association. About 25 delegates,
representing the community church
movement in the northwest, were
present.
"The spirit of Christ has been be
trayed thrice and crucified by relig
ious leaders and denominations," de
clared Professor Hopkins. "The first
crucifixion was by. the Jews, the sec
ond by the Catholic church and the
third by the more modern denomina
tions." Professor Hopkins characterized a
denomination as a "soulless, bodyless
creation, a true example of artificial
thought, which is another name for
prejudice."
Dnnominationallsm Is wronff be
cause It is Inconsistent with Christian
universality." he said. "There are not
many doors which open to the king
dom of heaven. To be a Methodist or
a Baptist or a Lutheran or a Chris
tian Scientist was never mentioned
as a pre-requisite to eternal life. Yet
there are many who call themselves
by these appellations and consider
them special qualifications of Chris
tian character. This Is a vain hallu
cination. The great teacher said, "I
am the light and the way. There is
no other name under heaven whereby
ye may be saved."
"We are now faced with the appall
ing fact that there are more than 300
denominations In America today. At
the present rate the number will be
doubled In the next 100 years. Think
of the Injustice when all these sweep
down on a single city or community,
each demanding a church and pas
torate. Think of the absurdity of a
village of a few thousand souls striv
ing to maintain 800 schools. Yet this
Is a parallel caoo i.
and demands of the denominational
churches. It Is ridiculous, absurd ana
foolish."
Delegates to the conference attend
ed the meeting of the Portland Min
isterial association yesterday morn
ing. In the afternoon they disposed
of routine business and discussed
problems of the community church.
Rev. G. V. McClure of Rldgefield.
Wash was named secretary of the
conference. Rev. D. E. Nourse of
Portland, Rev. R. A. Hutchison of
Oakland, Or, and Rev. F. E. Reddick
of Battleground, Wash, were elected
as a committee to make arrangements
to launch a campaign for the com
munity church Idea.
The conference will close today
after morning and afternoon sessions.
