cated full publicity for the sessions of
the Washington conference "on limitation
of armaments here today, addressing a
dinner given him by newspaper pub
lishers. Later in an exclusive Interview with
the United Press he declared the Anglo-Japanese
alliance had "outlived its
usefulness," and that sentiment is
againgt its continuance, He then
touched on the Irish question, declaring
that if De Valera represents the ma
jority2 opinion in Ireland, then Ireland
is "asking for-trouble."
DEPENDS OS FRIENDSHIP
"Whether the Washington conference
means peace or ultimately war," Lord
Northcliffe declared, addressing the
dinner given in his honor, "depends
greatly en whether it holds secret or
open sessions.
"It is of exceeding importance to the
world's welfare that the fullest publicity
be given."
There is no solution of the Pacific
problems, he said, which is not' based
on Anglo-American friendships For
that reason. Lord Northcliffe told his
hearers, the Anglo-Japanese alliance is
the dominating factor in preventing a
settlement of Pacific problems because
It places the United States definitely
out of consideration. a -.:
Elaborating his views later in an in

HIS MUS
- 'v , By Frater Edwards
Washington, Nov. 3. Senator -Tom
Watson. Georgia, launched into a bitter
attack upon senators who criticised him
for his charges that American soldiers
were hangeS wllhout trial in .France
when the senate convened today.; '
The Georgian reiterated his charges
and declared that he could substantiate
every word that he uttered.
Watson presented a newspaper which
he said contained a picture of the hang
ing of an American soldier and asked
that it be printed in the Congressional
Record.
Watson then sent to the desk a letter
from an ex-fervice man in Philadelphia,
which stated that he had a photograph
of a scaffold upon which two negro sol
diers were hanged in Prance. .
The writer stated that the soldiers en
camped nearby, had been invited to at
tend the hanging.
Senator Moses (R N. H.) objected to
Senator Watson introducing two photo
graphs he had said he had Just received
from one of his correspondents, on he
alleged would show "an American - sol
dier dying on the gallows"; the other
he claimed was "another American sol
dier being prepared for death."
"I consider the objection of the senator
from New Hampshire a very cowardly
one." Watson shouted.
"I - demand that he apologize to me
for- the insulting attitude he has as
sumed toward me."
Senator' Moses resumed his seat with
out making- any response.

Reductions Sought Run From 20
to 60 Per Cent and Include
Nearly rEvery Article Which
Is Used in Average Household.
Proposal hag been made by all trans
continental lines to reduce railroad rates
from 20 to 80 per cent on hundreds of
commodities moving east and westbound
and in and out of the port,: according
to advice received by local railroad offi
ces today from the 'transcontinental
freight bureau' at Chicago.
The reductions have been proposed to
meet water competition via the Panama
canal and - represent many weeks of
work by railroad traffic managers at
Chicago.
, Copies 'of the list of reductions have
been received by the traffic departments
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific systems.
Included In the list of reductions are
many proposed on the most important
commodities such as 'lumber, canned
goods, fruit and steel and iron.
. Many of the proposed west bound rates
are dependent upon-whether the railroad
lines obtain relief from section 4 of the
interstate commerce act Hearings are
soon to be obtained 'on this application
tor relief. ..
On the east bound rates some of those
proposed for carrying articles east of
Chicago are dependent on concurrence
or fjastern railroads.

Herbert Coleman. 6-year-old slayer of
Lynn Peters, 9, to the custody' of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Coleman,
pending further investigation
At the conclusion of the two days'
hearings during which 20 witnesses were
called, the judge said both sides had so
exaggerated the facts that he was un
able to get anywhere.
He j ordered Mrs. Amanda William.
Lewis county probation officer, to go 'to
Randle where the shooting occurred and
make a personal investigation of affairs.
Mrs. Williams is to obtain a written re-!
port to the court.
.HAT TAKE WEEK
"It might take a week ; It might take
all winter." said Judge Reynolds. "I
shall j withhold my decision until2 Mrs.
Williams reports."
"My mind is made up." It was the
calm. deliberate voice of John Peters,
father of five stalwart eons, who came to
town out of the Big Bottom country east
of here with his youngest lad's dying
words burning in his memory: "Papa,
you must do something about this or he
will kill some other boys-",
I have made up my mind." said
Peters. 'What the judge says will he
final.: I shall bear no erudae in mv
heart against the boy that shot my little
boy ana I have drilled my other boys
to abide by what the court decides, and
keep their, heads."
If the .lad is found delinquent and the
cause of the shooting was Herbert's en- r
vtronment, the Judge must further de
cide whether he should be. removed from
that environment and. If ao. whether he
F'shouM be sent to a state institution for
boya or- paroled to some good family. ' - i
Judge Reynold brought .4o tight that
Herbert bad. in times past pointed guns
and snapped them at other., people and
once threatened anOthee boy. 5 ;
