THE SUNDAY OKEflOXIAX. PORTLAND, JANUARY 1, 1922
CORK COUNCIL VOTES
1B T0 14 FOR TREATY
Other County Organization;
Also Favor Pact.
RECRUITING IS ENDED
Increasing of infantry Regiments
Is Slopped, but Guards Are
Still Expanding.
DUBLIN'. Dec. SI. (By the Associ
ate! Tress.) One of the narrowest
majorities in favor of ratification of
the Irish treaty was recorded today
by the Cork county council, which
voted 16 to 14 at a meeting: sum
moned by the lord mayor.
A resolution was offered proposing
to leave the decision to the Dail
lOlrcann, but after long discussion an
amendment was carried that "as
there is no alternative to accept, the
treaty should be ratified."
After a ratification resolution was
carried by the Donegal county coun
cil, ono member, Mr. Duffy, presented
his resignation, saying he was unable
to accept the treaty, but realized
great majority of his constituents
desired ratification.
Others Favor BatiflraUon.
The Cavan council, the Leltrlm
county council and the Tipperary
urban council were among many
other bodies adopting resolutions in
favor of ratification.
Owing to the uncertainty of Ire
landa future, recruiting has been
suspended temporarily to all Irish
Infantry regiments except the Irish
guards.
In Ulster the feeling In favor of the
treaty Is reported as even stronger
than in southern Ireland.
The treaty also is being debated In
the county committees of the Sinn
Kein organization, and all those that
have already met have declared In its
favor. But the decision have reached
a division of opinion similar to that
In the Dail, showing an active minor
ity disapproving.
Mnn Fein tn Divided.
It In evident that the Slnrt Fein
organization is divided, and whatever
the decision of the Dail, the country
will be ranged in two hostile camps
unless a compromise is speedily ef
fected, of which there la not yet a
sign.
Ratification Is regarded as certain,
but that will not terminate the con
troversy. Technically no official step
for ratification has been taken. It
will be the duty of the British gov
ernment, acting in Ireland, to summon
the ratifying body, which will consist
of the members elected to the house
of commons for southern Ireland.
That house of commons Itself as such
does not exist and could not come Into
being unless the members took the
oath of allegiance to the king; hence
the phrase in the treaty defining the
ratifying body merely as member
elected to serve In It.
Member Kmt ta Meet Ajraln.
The meeting will be only for ratifi
cation and the members will not meet
again. There will thus be during the
tenure of the provisional government
no Irish representative body to which
that government -can be responsible,
except the Dail, which technically Is
still an illegal organization.
Arthur Griffith and his colleagues
might recogn!2e the authority of the
Dail, but the provisional government
will, by agreement. Include some rep
resentatives of the former Unionist
minority in Ireland, who could not be
expected to do eo, and' would recognize
their authority as derived solely from
the crown.
The republican army depends on
and takes orders from the Dail. If the
Dail dissolves, the people are asking
what will become of the army. If it
continues to function with the army
at Its command. It must In effect con
trol the provisional government. This
is the difficult situation which Arthur
Oriffith and Michael Collins have to
face.
FAIR MEETING AWAITED
NO EXPOSITION ACTION TO BE
TAKEN MEANTIME.
Governor Olcott Has Until Thurs
day to Act on Measure Call
ing Special Election.
Pending the meeting of the execu
tive board of the state exposition
committee, no action will be taken
by the proponents of the 1D25 fair.
This board will gather Thursday
noon at the Old Colony club, Mult
nomah hotel. At that time the en
tire exposition . situation will be
canvassed and a course of action
Will be outlined.
Governor Olcott has uhlll Thursday
to act on the measure which calls
for a special election May 19. This
bill was enacted in the closing hours
of th.e special session so that the
constitutional amendment authoriz
ing the exposition could be voted on
by the people. A clause was inserted
that in the event the fair legislation
was- declared invalid the election
would not be held. In the rush of
the closing hours the enrolling
clerks neglected to insert the clause,
so that the bill as it stands calls
for a special election whether or not
the fair legislation is upheld in the
courts. The governor is expected to
veto this special election bill unless
the legal snarl involving validity of
the constitutional amendment is
Cleaned up.
There are several ways in which
the exposition problem can be
approached and these are receiving
consideration. The state has gone so
far In advertising the 1925 fair that
there Ib no disposition to back out
at this date. The executive com
mittee will, It is expected, work out
some programme at the coming con
ference which will be satisfactory to
the people of the state.

pedic surgeon, performed no opera

his license to practice in this state.
He said he may perform some simple

"I am glad I have been given a I
license to practice in New York," as
serted the surgeon. "They had to
stop it in order to give it." This was!
explained as an effort by Dr. Lorenz
to show he realized It wu necessary
to hold up hie work for a while In
order that It might be legalized.
As Dr. Lorens must have his license
recorded In .every county In which he
practices, he said he would go to the

EDGE QMS PARLEY
CRITICISM BY SOME SENATORS
IS ANSWERED.
New Jersey Republican Declares It
Some War Barriers Results
Mneh Has Been Done.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. SI. (By
the Associated Press.) Senator Edge,
republican, New Jersey, lit a state
ment Friday declared of the Wash
ington conference accomplishes "no
more than to put a real barrier be
fore possibilities of war between four
powerful nations, It has scored a
success."
Senator Edge's statement In de
fense of what has been done by the
conference was prompted, it was ex
plained, because of criticism "being
made by some members of the senate."
The senator said the conference had
accomplished considerable and that
the good done should not be forced
into the background because ef
criticism of "some men In public life."
Senator Edge said that in his Judg
ment "the conference will go down
as establishing principles which will
accomplish more In preventing wars
and reducing governmental expend!
tures than any previous effort in the
history of the world."
If the conference has furnished a
means of canceling the Anglo-Jap
anese alliance, he added, which we
have always considered Inimical to
our interests In the Pacific and It has,
It has scored a success; if It con
tributes to reducing burdensome taxes
and It does, it has scored a success;
f It provides proper recognition by J
other nations of our own rights in
Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines, and
it does. It has scored a success."
The senator concluded his state
ment with, "Why not Join in the ac
claim? Don't lead the killjoys."

W CABLE RIGHTS
AT PARLEY
America, Japan, Netherlands
Get Shares.
SIX-POWER PACT NEXT
Allocation Goes Much Further Than
Cnlted States-Japan Re
cent Agreement.
WASHINGTON'. D. C, Dec. 31. (By
the Associated Press.) The scope of
the Washington negotiations over the
ex-Oerman cable properties In the
Pacific, centering in the island of
Yap, has been broadened into a pro
posed six-power treaty definitely
allocating German holdings between
the United States, Japan and. the
Netherlands.
A tentative draft of the treaty was
considered at a meeting today of the
heads of the American, Japanese,
Netherlands, British, French and Ital
ian delegations, and although final
approval awaited further word from
foreign capitals, the proposal found
general acceptance.
Under the allocation, which goes
much further than the separate Yap
treaty negotiated between the United
States and Japan, the American gov
ernment Is to have full cohtrol of the
cable between Yap and the American
island of Guam.
Japan Gets One Line.
Japan Is to obtain the line known
as the Yap-Shanghai cable, now di
verted to connect Yap with the Japa
nese Loochoo islands, and The Nether
lands is to have the line from Yap
to Menado. a city on the Dutch island
of Celebes.
It was Indicated that the provisions
of the Ameri-ean-Japanese settlement,
which give the United states general
cable and wireless rights on Yap,
probably will be Incorporated in a
separate treaty between those two
powers."
The broader question of distribut
ing all Japan cable holdings is one In
which all the principal allied and as
sociated powers, as well as the
Netherlands are concerned, under the
terms of the Versailles peace treaty.
By that treaty Germany renounced
he? rights to the cables jointly to the
principal powers the United States,
Great Britain, Japan, France and
Italy. Interest of the Netherlands lies
in the fact that her nationals held a
minority of stock in the German
Dutch corporation owning the lines
before the war.
By the new treaty it is proposed
that the Netherlands is to receive
the Yap-Menado properties outright,
in exchange for her partial pre-war
Interest in all three lines. The Brit
ish. French and Italian governments
would renounce their undivided
shares In the properties to the United
States and Japan in recognition of
the particular Interest of these two
governments in the Pacific cable
field.
This plan of partition Was Worked
out by the American and Japanese
delegates and was not laid before the
representatives of the other four
powers until today. It was said they
all appeared to look on It with fa
vor, France indicating definite ac
ceptance and Great Britain and
Italic showing approval by desiring
to make a further study of some
questions. The Netherlands delegation
also asked a delay to permit it to
communicate with its home govern
ment. There also is an arrahgement for
connecting with other cable lines, and
It Is understood that it was on this
point Great Britain suggested she
might desire to make a resolution.
Settlement on this basis of the
status of the former German cables
In the Pacific, it was declared at the
state department, would not affect
the undecided question of What allo
cation is to be made finally of the
former German lines In the Atlantic.
It was explained that the Pacific end
was taken up because the Yap ne
gotiations between the United States
and Japan naturally raised the ques
tion of a broader settlement and be
cause all nations that would be in
terested were represented here.
A supplemental arrangement may
be made later, it is believed by some
delegates, to extend again to Shang
hai the cable which stretches from
Yap to the Loochoo Islands Diversion
of the northern end of this line was
effected by the Japanese after they
had seised Yap during the war. At
the same time the i'ap-Guam and
Yap-Menado connections were cut.
Communication on all three of the
branches are expected to be restored
in the near future, but before the
Yap-Bhanghal leg Is to be restored
some understanding with China will
be necessary.
Through Service Guaranteed.
It was explained that In the Ameri
can View the rearrangement was con
sidered fair to Holland since her na
tionals owned about one-third of the
stock lh the corporation which owned
the three cables, while under the new
treaty she would receive full title to
one of the three lines.
Provision was made that the value
of the German holdings would be
cheeked off the German reparations
bill when the cables pass to their new
owners. s
The new treaty guarantees "Through
service" under a reciprocal arrahge
ment worked out by American and
Japanese experts.
REMAKING CHINA DOUBTED
American Declares Those Who
Think So Very Much Mistaken.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. II. (By
the Associated Press.) "If anyone
thinks that the Washington confer
ence by drafting declarations or trea
ties can 'remake that tnassive old
state' of China, he is "very much mis
taken,'" Frederick Moore, an Ameri
can who 1b foreign councillor of the
Japanese foreign office, declared to
day in an address before the National
Council for the Limitation of Arma
ment. "This conference can help ft little
0
and Will do so," he said, explaining
that his views were being expressed
personally, "but China alone can' re
model herself, and when she remakes
herself on modern lines there will be
no power that can possibly hold her
in subjection.
"There have been efforts made to
alarm us with regard to the Japan
ese and there have been efforts to
work up our Sympathies unduly In
favor ' of a great, country which no
power on earth can change except the
slow process of time."
A disagreement over the date of
removing Japan's 1700 soldiers from
Shantung, he continued, does not
mean that China is Being to war with
her neighbor.

SENATOR PENROSE IS DEAD
Contlnued From First Page.)
but returned home Wednesday, feel
ing that the senator was better. Dr.
Adams was with the senator most of
the afternoon and throughout the
evenlhg.
Senator Penrose occupied a large
suite on the top floor of the hotel.
It was said that he was particularly
anxious to recoup his strength so he
could return to his duties next week
as chairman of the finance committee
hearing- witnesses on the tariff bill.
Friends of Senator Penrose said the
sudden death recently of his col
league. Senator Knox, had been such
a shock to him it had affected him
several days ago while he was doing
his best to shake off a deep cold. Like
Senator Knox, he died suddenly, for,
as Dr. Adams explained, while he
knew the senator was quite 111, he
did not anticipate death.
Senator Penrose, one of the most
interesting personalities in the upper
house, which he entered in 1897 as
the successor to the late Senator J.
Donald Cameron, was one of the
wealthiest bachelors in the senate.
An "old guard" republican, he waa a
member of the four important senate
committtes', namely, the finance com
mittees, of which he was chairman;
banking and currency, immigration
and naval affairs.
Chief lieutenant of Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay, whose representative
he had been in the Pennsylvania leg
islature for many years, Penrose did
not at first take a very prominent
part in republican party councils at
Washington, Until his death, how
ever, he never lost prestige as th
leader of his party In his own state.
Blunt at all times, but with a repu
tation that he could be trusted in a
political deal. Senator Penrose made
fast friends and irreconcilable ene
mies. The latter often charged him
with representing the "interests."
Senator Penrose was an early ad
vocate of United States intervention
in Mexico and In 1913 introduced a
resolution requesting that American
troops be sent into the republic south
of the Rio Grande, He was fln un
yielding opponent of the Wilson ad
ministration And particularly of the
draft of the treaty of peace as sub
mitted to the senate by President
Wilson. He characterized the transfer
to Japan of ex-German concessions in
Shantung, China, as "a violation of
every principle of the league of na
tions and a bribe to Japan, and de
clared It "dispossessed 40.900,000 Chi
nese of vital rights against their will.
Special work for protective tariffs
was Senator Penrose's chief legisla
tive hobby, particularly with refer
ence to revenue legislation, and al
though his devotion did not result in
the passage or a "Penrose Din, ne
will long be remembered for his ac
tivity along those lines. He consist
ently fought prohibition legislation.
He seldom made speeches in the sen
ate, reading a few prepared addresses
and those almost only on fiscal af
fairs but' he was quick in partisan
repartee and his thrusts won for him
the fame of humorist of the upper
house, both democrats and republicans
enjoying his clever sallies.
The Senators long feud with the
Vare political faction In Philadel
phia was one of the outstanding fea
tures of his career. It showed him
as a tnost resourcerul lighter, as
Pennsylvania's national committee
man he was a "power behind the
throne" in all republican conventions,
senate and national councils. He and
Senator Smoot were regarded as hav
ing largely forced President Taft s
renomlnation In 1912. when Colonel
Koosevelt bitterly assailed Penrose's
control of the convention.
Although called the "boss" of Penn
sylvania, Penrose obtained larger
election majorities than ever under
the primary system and held as tight
control, passing much of his time be
tween Washington ana iarrisourg
and Philadelphia. The senator, al
though a lawyer, Beldom appeared in
courts Ih late years.
He was, perhaps, the largest man
physically in the senate, standing 6
feet 4 Inches In height and weighing
close to 300 pounds. He traced his
ancestry back for more than BOO
years -and in his veins flowed the
blood of some of the most distin
guished American families The
senator's family Is related to the
Pennsylvania Biddies, the Maryland
Chews and Thomases and the Mas
sachusetts Dudley and Boles families.
The elder Boise aided in building the
breastworks for the battle of Bunker
Hill.
Born in Philadelphia on November 1.
1880, young Penrose was educated by
private tutors and at the Episcopal
academy in his home city. At 16 he
entered Harvard, from which he was
graduated in 1881. He studied law
with Wayne MacVeagh and George T
Bispham ana was admitted to the bar
in 1883. Entering immediately Into
politics, a year later he was elected
to the state legislature. In 18S5 he
helped to secure the passage of a re
form charter for Philadelphia, known
as the Bullitt bill, and the next year
was chosen a state senator from one
of the most aristocratic districts in
Pennsylvania. In 1890 he was made
president pro tempore of the state
senate and participated in the bitter
partisan politics in the years which
followed. Meanwhile, at the request
of Johns Hopkins university, Penrose
had written In collaboration with Ed
ward P. Allison, his law partner, for
use as a textbook a "History of the
City Government of Philadelphia."
He was regarded as an authority at
that time on municipal subjects.

DEAD BABIESHEAPED
PILES
Communists Revel in Luxu
rious Life as Others Starve.
RUSSIAN PICTURE DRAWN
American Relief Worker in Starv
lng Country Tells of Contrasts
That Are Startling.
NEW YORK. Dec. 31. The com
munis ts in Moscow and Petrograd are
reveling In the luxuries of life. While
starvation Is taking heavy toll In the
Interior districts and heaps of dead
babies remain unburied. Carl E
Floete, the American relief adminis
tration's representative in the dis
trict of rugatchov. declared today.
He has Just returned to this country.
Lenine rode around Moscow In a
luxurious automobile, he declared, and
the women's display of Jewelry and
expensive furs outshone anything
seen In any other city. A guard of
600 soldiers around th6 Kremlin com
prised the best-fed men ever pee-n
there, he asserted.
Startling Contrast Drawn.
Mr. Floete drew a startling contrast
of conditions among the starving
population in the interior of Russia.
"They don't have time to bury the
dead and they haven't the strength if
they had the time," he declared.
"They stack 'em up. Forty Is the
most I eve.- saw In one pile and they
were babies. But I don't believe they
have got to cannibalism yet, except
perhaps in some of the remote coun
try districts."
The relief worker said he had fed
about 50.000 in Pugatchov, formerly
called Nicolalev, the name having
bee.n changed because it was the
scene of one of the bloodiest of the
communist uprisings in the early
days of the revolution.
Whole Country Starving.
"I believe they are feeding 200,000
how," he said, "but it's only a drop
In the bucket. All Russia is the same
except In the big cities, Moscow and
Petrograd. The W'hole country is
starving to feed the 600,000 com
munists who are running it. There is
plenty of food the finest flour and
the most delicious pastry you can
get anywhere in Moscow and Petro
grad.", "The soldiers stole our supplies all
along the line," Mr. Floete continued.
"When we got to PUgatchov. thev
came to us and wanted us to sell them
food. They said if we did not sell it,
they would steal It, so we would bet
ter sell It. We went to the officials
to have a registration of the district.
They registered the communists first
so they would be sure to be fed. But
it really did not make any difference.
They all had to be fed. They were all
starving and dying.
Children Hardly Able to Crawl.
"And dirty, filthy and ragged! They
haven't any soap and they can't wash.
The children came straggling In along
the roads, hardly able to crawl. We
gathered them tip and put them in the
refugee houses and fed them. Some
of them lived and some of them died.
We Just had to do the best we could
feed them and hope they would
live."
Mr. Floete said the Russian rail
roads wera. In good condition and
statements that food could not be dis
tributed because the transportation
system had broken down were un
founded. "The railroads run and the trains
get there," he added, "and the tele
graph is working all right. The com
munists kfeD un the lines nf enm-
rtnunication so they can bring what
supplies there are into the cities for
themselves."

DRAINAGE BILL VETOED
Object of Measure Is Approved, but
Act Held Defective.
SALEM. Or.. Dec. 31. (Special.)
Governor Olcott today vetoed senate
bill No. 12, giving additional powers
and authority to drainage districts.
This bill was Introduced by Senator
Hare nf Washington county and was
approved during the recent special
session of the legislature. I
"This bill," said the governor in his
veto message, "has a meritorious pur
pose and was designed to bring about
some constructive results. It is. I
understand, &e effort to permit the
sale of bonds for a certain drainage
district in Washington county, such
sale now being obstructed by some
technical difficulty in connection with
the present law.
"Insofar as its purposes are con
cerned I approve of them. But the
bill itself is so drafted as to lead to
rnmniicailnni relative to laws In gen
eral covering drainage districts, and I
probably would result In litigation
and confusion. It is an Instance
where the nostrum might cause more
dire results than the disease."
