Navjr Experts Progrrsa. Among: naval experts so much prog ress was made with technical details of the naval limitation plan that in some quarters it was declared final disposition was only a question of hours. Precise regulations for scrap ping; ships and details of replacement were numbered among; the day s agree ments In the naval sub-committee. On submarine regulation, which has waited on further advices from the foreign capitals, Japan contributed an other step toward decision by accept ing- In principle the Root resolutions proposing; to outlaw the use of sub marines against merchant vessels and to make violations of submarine reg ulations acts of piracy. Italy alone remains to accept the propositions. Trouble Is Feared. At tomorrow's meeting of the far .eastern committee, however, new trou bles may be encountered through China's request that the famous "21 demands" be brought up for. confer ence discussion. A protest was lodged by Japan Just before the last meet ing of the committee adjourned and what promises to be a stubborn de bate Is expected by some delegates. In some quarters also considerable discussion Is believed likely before there is a definite decision on the Hoot submarine proposals. France baa Indicated a desire to see some terms of the resolutions fully discussed and clearly defined, and although, the French said tonight they did, not propose to press the point, it was Indicated some trouble on some points probably would be Injected Into the conversations sooner or later. Advisory Committee Busy. Meantime the American advisory committee canvassed opinion on the submarine question, with the result that the committee's previous posi tion for retention of the underwater craft within strict regulations was reaffirmed. Members said a survey of editorial comment and publio opinion generally convinced them that the American people strongly desired that submarine operations be brought within the considerations of humane warfare. Important as the submarine dlscus ' elons are conceded to be, they were almost overshadowed In the minds of the delegates by the Shantung con troversy, which attracted Increasing attention not only because it gave promise of a settlement, but also on account of conflicting reports of the attitude of the Chinese government at PekJn. The Chinese delegation had no sooner denied an assertion by the rival government at Canton that they had been Instructed' to accede to the Japanese terms than a similar fctory emanated1 from Japanese quar ters. Direct Exchanges Reported. Mingled with reports of direct ex changes regarding Shantung between Tokio and Pekln, these rumors served to throw the situation into uncer tainty. The result was that when the two delegations resumed their conversations, both held that the question had become too delicate to be commented upon publicly. Today's meeting of the Chinese tariff sub-committee also marked the end of a deadlock that lasted for sev eral, weeks. In the informal ex changes during the halt, the French and Americans were said to have been ine principal actors, with the repre sentatives of the Washington gov ernment striving to bring France Into agreement with the solution proposed vy oenaior unaerwood. Objection of the French Is under stood to have centered about con.M erations related to the French Indo Chlna frontier, but after further ex- i-nanK-es with Paris, they Joined In mo iian 10 oe laid before the far casieru committee tomorrow.

Japan Accepts Man. Japan's acceptance of the Root submarine resolutions In principle coupled with a further exposition of the French position, has advanced the iiuesuon to a point where mtin of the full naval committee may be held soon. The Italian government '"" as not yet instructed Its dele eat eg. Although the French said they were not prepared to urge any objections to the resolutions If the other powers are satisfied with them, some Ameri can aeiegates have gained the. in. presslon that France at least would iiKe to see coupled with the subma rine prohibition a definition of the proper use and armament of merchant nips in wartime. Such a modifies tion of the proposals the Americans ana British are ready to resist, hold ing these stipulations are well defined in international law. Admiral Baron Kato of Japan said tonight his delegation was ready to "discuss everything" at the next com mittee meeting. French Ready to Approve. The French position, as voiced by their spokesmen, contemplates ap proval of the text of the Root resolu tion as It stands, provided the four other delegations are willin? to do tn same, It 1 recalled, however, PRETTY ACTRESS, WHO LEAPED TO DEATH FROM STEAMER, DAUGHTER OF PORTLAND FAMILY. 111?:-, -. .' -s-w" 1 - ?

Consequently it Is as sumed by the French delegation that it would be desirable to construe the resolution so that there might be no doubt as to Its precise meaning and application. Two hours of discussion were de voted to the submarine by the Ameri can advisory committee today. The committee listened to a study- of pub- oplnlon in America as exhibited in the newspaper editorials and dis patches, and It was said that although he British proposal to prohibit use f the submarine had much support In the press, there was no lack of con trary opinion.

SIRIGEfinfOl Betty Montgomery's Parents Live Near Tigard. STAGE LIFE. BEGUN EARLY Last Word Heard From Girl Who Plunged Off Steamer Was Two Tears Ago, Says Mother. Betty Montgomery, an actress, who disappeared mysteriously from the steamer Yale following a New Tear's eve celebration, in which she led the revels, is "a stranger" to -her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Mc Nown, of Portland. They knew her as Bertha McVown, their daughter, who left home as a girl of 17 years, and for 17 years traveled the strange byways of "the atrical troupers." From all Indications the weary trail ended for Betty when she plunged to a suicides death In the waters of tfee Paoiflo between Los Angeles and San Francisco. 'She has been a stranger to the family since she went on the stage,' said Mrs. McNown yesterday, when Interviewed at the McNown home near Tigard. "All we know about Bertha's death is the report that she was drowned. 'We've scarcely seen her for 17 years," the mother continued. Father and I got a glimpse of her four years ago in Omaha, when we went to visit our eon there. The last word we got from her was a post card saying she was in Kansas City with a show. That s about all there was in the card. That was nearly two years ago. W e don t know what kind of work she did on the stage. I guess she was one of the chorus girls, and later she was In the. movies, but we never heard from her there. She was in New York for quite a while." Girl Goes With Show. Mr. and Mrs. McNown spoke calmly of their daughter, with no trace of grief or emotion. It was as though they were discussing some long-forgotten acquaintance, a shadowy mem ory out of the past. The parents remembered Betty best as a girl lust entering womanhood. She had unusual beauty and a great ambition to be a famous actress. Her first chance came in Spokane. When the show left, the girl went with it. Shortly afterward she married, and within a year was divorced. Contrary to the traditions of her profession where the marital policy Is often "off with the old and on with the new." Betty never married again. 'Her husband was a Frenchman named LeChambre." said Mrs. Mc Nown. "I don't remember his first name, or what business he was in. My daughter divorced him 16 years ago. I don t know where he is, or whether be is alive or dead today." Father and Mother McNown are newcomers to Oregon.' Their three sons and three daughters one by one left the "old nest" at Spokane. The parents came to Portland and built a cosy home for their last years. The McNown home, a one-story building on the outskirts of Tigard, is spot lessly clean and comfortable. Back of the house Is a prosperous looking flock of chickens and a well-kept truck garden. Mr. McNown is an in dustrious farmer on a small scale and an enthusiastic booster for Oregon oil and climate. The oldest son. R. A. McNown. la n business In Omaha, Neb. The other two sons are C. L. McNown. business man of Wenatchee, Wash., and H. B. McNown, an artilleryman In the regu lar army, stationed in Oklahoma. Two augnters. Miss Hazel McNown and Mrs. Georgia Woodbury, are residents of Seattle. Tje last reports of Bertha, the wan- erer, show that she played her chosen game to the last On board the Yale he was described as the life of the party of merrymakers who welcomed he new year with carefree hilarity, n the midst of the gaiety she sud- eniy grew serious and remarked. "I wonder what the new year will bring me?" Then she retired to her state room and was never seen again. Dream Only a Dream. beremeen years as "one of th chorus girls" Is a gruelling journey. Like many other girls, she dreamed f her stage name in a blaze of elec tric lights on Broadway, or her face on thousands of moving picture screens throughout the world. Through all the years, this dream remained only a dream to her. There were seemingly endless on.e-nlght stands, railroad "juropsr" from town to town In dirty coaches, blazing hot outer com, araD dressing rooms where the "merry-merry," "the soear. carriers," were herded. Betty must have been hungry more than once. The answer to her question. "What will the new year bring to me?" must have been discouraging. Acting upon it, she hurled, her tired body over the rail into the blackness. drained lands in the state were taken yesterday with the formation ot the Oregon development board, with two representatives from the Oregon irri gation congress and one each from the Oregon drainage association, the state chamber of commerce and the Portland Chamber of Commerce par ticipating. The board will meet again today and will continue careful study of the settlement problem before announcing, plans for a colonization campaign. The board Intends to co-ordinate, if possible, the colonization work with a well-directed effort on the part of the state schools and other institu tions to keep the men on the land after they are once established. Officers and members of the board follow: Fred M. Wallace, Bend, chair man; J. M. Kyle, Stanfleld. vice-chairman; Sam H. Brown, Gervals; W. D. B. Dodson, Portland, and Alfred ' A.

ISSUE STILL IS DOUBTFUL American and British Officials Are Hopeful of Settlement of Rival Claims. DOUGLAS FARMER KNIFED Fight Over Road Results in Stab for Fred Johnson. ROSE BURG, Or., Jan. 4. (Special.) In a fight which started over a road, Fred Johnson, a farmer living near Boomerhill, was stabbed several times this afternoon by Joe Ledger- wood, a neighbor.

Ledgerwood drew his knife and slashed Johnson in four or five places, it was declared. Ledgerwood came to Roseburg and surrendered, himself to Sheriff Starm er this afternoon. A doctor was sent to Boomerhill to attend to the In jured man. It Is reported that the wounds were not serious. Canby Rebekahs Install. CANBY, Or., Jan. 4. (Special.)

C, Jan. 4. (By the Associated Press.) Washington negotiations over Shantung apparent ly are nearing a conclusion, but whether the outcome is to be a set tlement or another deadlock is a question obscured 6y many elements of conflicting evidence. There was no outward Indication' tonight, after the Japanese and Chi nese had resumed "conversations," that either side had abandoned its posi tion regarding the troublesome issue over the mode of payment for the Kiaochow-Tslnanfu railroad In the former German leasehold. Neverthe less, the communique said, discussions would be "completed" tomorrow, and there was apparent in many quarters a confidence that a final means fo settlement would be found. Both delegations entered into a dis cussion of the three alternative plans for payment for the disputed railroad, but adjourned after a two-hour ses sion without definite action. Loam Payment Demanded. The Japanese were said to have reasserted their demand for payment by loans to the Chinese government through the Japanese bankers which the Chinese declined to consider. The Chinese then announced they had not receded from their two alternative propositions: Payment in cash or by treasury notes in installments over 12 years, v.-ith an option permitting China to take up the remaining notes after three years. There the matter rested, . with neither delegation willing to com ment on the possibility of a satis factory settlement ultimately ' being reached. Asked by news-paper men as to what remained to work on at tomorrow's session. Dr. Wang, a Chinese delegate, replied: "The Chinese delegation will for mally decline to consider a Japanese loan and will expect a definite ac ceptance or refusal of either of its alternative plans for cash payment or by treasury bonds in installments." Mediation Is Attempted. Arthur J. Balfour and Secretary Hughes were the Indirect means of bringing the two delegations together In. an effort to break the deadlock, through their observers, who had been "sitting in" during the conversations begun under their auspices, until the interruption came at the request of the Japanese two weeks ago to ask Toklo for instructions. The first move today for resump tion of the meeting came from the Japanese, however, when they noti fied Messrs. Balfour and Hughes that j they had heard from Toklo and were ready to meet again. An invitation for the meeting, sent by the state department shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon, took the Chi nese somewhat by surprise, as only yesterday the Chinese had approached Mr. Balfour and Secretary Hughes with a view to having them renew their "good offices" to effect a settle ment. Earlier reports came from two sources that direct negotiations for a settlement of the Shantung dispute were proceeding between Pekln and Tokio to a successful conclusion. Japanese Report Out. One came from the Japanese, who Manhattan Shirt Sale Select liberally from these good shirts $2.50 Manhattans. . .$1.65 $3.00 Manhattans. . .$1.95 $3.50 Manhattans. . .$2.35 $4.00 Manhattans. . .$2.65 $4.50 Manhattans. . .$2.95 $5.00 Manhattans . . . $3.35 $6.00 Manhattans. . .$3.85 $7.00 Manhattans . . . $4.65 $7.50 Manhattans. . .$4.65 MEN'S WEAR Corbett Bldg., Fifth and Morrison south China government, now In New York, from Dr. Wu Ting Fang, Can ton foreign minister, to the same gen eral effect. Both reports were characterized by Wellington Koo, a Chinese delegate, as "untrue."
