At least two of the states were expected to be rein stated during the morning session. On a slightly elevated platform at the end of the long assembly hall sat Sher man J. Lowell of Fredonia, N.

About the platform were grouped the tables of other officials, 't STATES REPRESENTED Stretching away from the platform were four parallel lines of tables at which were seated the delegates from 29 states.

Tou may assure them that with acetylene torches and elec tricity I can cut those warships to pieces and make useful things out of them." MAKES PROPOSITION Mr. Ford's announcement came 'as suddenly as did the' world famed an nouncement of Secretary Hughes with regard to the limitation ot sea power. We were at his tractor plant at Dear born, talking of many things. In the course of the conversation I asked him what he thought of the Hughes pro posal. He said it was all right ex cept that it did not go far enough. He expressed the opinion that there should be complete disarmament . on the sea. Then he authorised the announcement to buy all of the warships afloat "To buy those ships," he continued "would be only to get some of my raw materials for a while from a now source. I am spending great sums all the while to get ore out of the ground and make it into steel, and I might just as well buy the metal in those warships as to buy it anywhere else.

Judge Morrow ordered that it be expressly set forth in the decree that the court have the right to change the ruling concerning the cus tody of the child at any time. This divided discipline is extremely bad for the child," said the judge. "I am not deciding that feature at this time. as the child is not old enough to feel the effects. Some day one side will have to have complete charge." The first Hawley divorce was filed !n November, 1919, at Oregon City. It required two weeks before Circuit Judge Bagley. Mrs. Hawley filed the first suit and Hawley filed a counter complaint Hawley won the decree.

The Chinese delegation to the arms limita tion and Far East conference today of ficially notified the powers at the armament conference that China In tends to demand territorial integrity and political and administrative independ ence from the conference. The notice was served upon the other powers in the secret session of the com mittee on Kar Eastern problems at Its session today in the shape of a compre hensive statement from the delegation outlining the principles which the Chi nese believe should govern considera tion of Chinese questions. The main points officially outlined by the Chinese were : 1 (a) The powers engage to respect and observe the territorial integrity and political and administrative . indepen dence of the Chinese republic. (b) China on her part is prepared to give an undertaking not to alienate or lease any portion of her territory or littoral to any power. WITHOUT EXCEPTION Z China being in full accord with the principles of the so-called "open door" or equal opportunity foV the commerce and Industry of all nations having treaty relations with China, is prepared to ac cept and apply it on all parts of the Chinese republic without exception. 3 With a view to strengthening mu tual confidence and maintaining peace in the Pacific and the Far East the powers agree not to conclude between themselves any treaty or agreement di rectly affecting China or the general peace in these regions without previously notifying China and giving to her an opportunity to participate. 4 All special rights, privileges, im munities or commitments, whatever the character or contractural basis, claimed by any of the powers or in relating to China are to be declared, and all such or fature claims not so made known, are to be deemed null and void. The rights, privileges, immunities and com mitments now known or to be declared. are to be examined with a view to de termining their scope and validity and if valid, to harmonize them -with one another and with the principles declared by this conference.

The sealous advocates of "open covenanta openly arrived at." are beginning to rise to the surface again today with mild talk about the .secrecy of commit tee negotiations. This comment is not all bitter as yet The exigencies of the occasions are more apparent In- fact than they were in theory so long as the conference steer-era permit the public to know In general what is going on behind closed doods and If no commit ment is made 'without open debate. carping criticism will not worry Hughes. Pre aidant Harding will also continue his Tuesday and Thursday press con ferences. He usually answers questions freely. He la not quoted and hia object is to keep public information authori tative. When Mr. Balfour In his dry Joeu larity of . yesterday congratulated Mr. Hughes on having kept bis secret so aeil. a foxy smile broke over the face of Henry .jCabot Lodge that would have done honor to a Harvard touchdown The senator, to change the figure of speech to baseball, is having his innings. Mr. Hughes talked confidentially with newspapermen, as usual, at the state department yesterday afternoon and promises to continue his customary group interviewing throughout the con ference. He answers questions quite freely and when he fails to answer he usually takes pains to explain why. In his opinion, the best Interest of the country ia served by temporary alienee. Mr. Hughes is not quoted. His talks are merely to steer the reporters aright. - Among the nations participating In the conference ia Portugal. She waa In vited, not presumably because of her army or her. navy, but because of her interest In the Far Eastern question. Portugal has-a foreign, empire of col orelos covering 936.2(4 square miles,, but these dependencies- are -mainly In Africa and Jt . is only four of those square miles that brings the delegation here. The lit tle - islands of Jtacao at the mouth of the Canton rirer. Inhabited by some 70.004 Chinese and 250 Portuguese- soldiers have tnlde worth about $1,000,000 per year and they give Portugal a vote on the momentous Chinese question soon to be opened at the green table. The foreign embassies, as ..you know, are foreign soil. The Volstead act does not apply. They are an oasis in a des ert assuming, of course, that the I cent bootlegging raids here have had lastinr effect which isn't entirely true. But the embassies are popular.
