There are really only four cardinal
viewpoints In this conference: The
American, which la that of a consoli
dated, compact country on one conti
nent, and dominating- It with Its flag".
Then, there la the viewpoint of Great
Britain, which Is a widely . scattered
country bulltion the splderweb plan, with
one flag standing for many scattered
peoples. There la a third viewpoint, the
Japanese'" that of a dynamic people
forced by their growing birthrate "into
other quarters than their own, and,
finally, we have the French viewpoint,
which la essentially the European view
point, that of a small country surrounded
by Inherited enemies whose economic
need keeps ancient grudges warm.
COVMOX OlOCKD SOUGHT.
It is the task of merging theae view
points into a common understanding
that the conference la attempting with
such eomptaoent enthusiasm. The same
divergence made the mesa in Paris, but
the world dH not understand why the
mess was Inevitable because all the
Psrls ' proceedings were secret. This
conference will let every party In the
conference spread his cause before the
world. Hence the Brland speech.
It will be a great speech, one that will
greatly more the conference. For M.
Brland, In the conference comes aa an
orator. He will depend not so much .on
the logio of his position as upon the
- passton of his people for Justice from j
their frlenda. Clemenoeau 'would not do
In this crisis. The French delegation
contains many keen . financiers who
could prove many things with figures.
But the world Is stuffed full, of proofs
t things. ' It kaows too much, already,
na mot of what It knows I not so. -
What the world needs from the French
standpoint Is. t believe something pas
sionately without much regard for the
facts.- tt Is-the troth rather than the
assembled facts thst Frsnce desires to
put Into the heart of humanity.

and a Urgs mouth and eyes full of
smouldering fires. ' He is gray, but It

Director Thomas said it was a reflec

the chairman of the business committee,
W. F, Woodward, serve with the prop

up the matter and should be the third
member of the committee.
Director Thomas insisted Shull was
not eligible and that, he wanted no one
else on the committee ; that it was al
most an Insult to have someone "'else in

Shull might bring before the properties

well did he love it that when he sought
entrance at New York in 1920, and was
refused because of being unable to read
in any language, he did 'not lose heart

Mexico. He was smuggled over the
Mexican border. He evaded immigra

northward until, in the bigness of ex

from nowhere, with only the wail of the
coyote and the baa-lng of his sheep flock
to keep him company, he was safe and
happy.
Then came Armistice day and word
drifted out over the sagebrush desert
to Juan that there was to be a big
dance in Jordan valley. And Juan, long

who are well represented near Jordan

was, and if I had had to take a 120

having smuggled into the United States,
and having entered within one year after
being refused admission.

Washington, Nov. 17. The United
States will support heartily much of J
China's plan for settling Far Kastern '

This applies particulaily to the "open
door" of points nine and ten, which pro
vide for an "agreement for peaceful
settlement of international disputes in
the Far Hast" and for reconvening the
Far Kast conference from time to time
for "determination of common policies."
Secretary Hughes has let the confer
ence know that America is hearily for
the "open door." Great Britain's dele
gation shares this view, too.
Hughes has also expressed a sym
pathetic view toward China's problems
and some quarters hold it more than
coincidence that parts nine and ten
long favored by Hughes and Harding
should be included in the Chinese plan.

Suffering from symptoms resembling
those of strychnine poisoning. Miss La
velle Davidson of 494 Taylor street, was
taken to St. Vincents hospital at 7
o'clock this morning as a sequel to a
party staged at the roadhouse of "Bird
legs" (J. T. Reid) near Gresham
Wednesday night Her condition is said
to be critical.
A. J. Duntley, who has offices In the
Buchanan building, called police sur
geons early this morning to the room
ing house conducted by Miss Davidson.
The physicians ordered her removed to
the hospital. The strychnine symptoms
at first led to the supposition that Miss
Davidson had attempted suicide, but
Duntley explained that the members of
the party had had considerable liquor.
"We had some bonded whiskey with
us," explained Duntley, "but someone
not in our party had some other stuff,
presumably moonshine. Miss Davidson
was the only one who drank any of
that."
Duntley said he did not know the name
of the man who had given her the moon
shine. He intimated, however, that be
could find out if it were necessary.
Duntley said about 17 people were
in their party, but that other people were
at the roadhouse whom he did not know.
The party gathered at Duntley 's of
fice, then picked up Miss Davidson at
her home and proceeded to the road-
house. Statements obtained by District
Attorney Myers from members of the
party agreed in detail.

Washington, Nov. 17. Acting directly
against President Harding's openly-expressed
wishes, the house late today
adopted the 50 per cent income surtax
rate to the tax bill.
Harding in a letter to the house earlier
in the day suggested a rate of 40 per
cent, as a compromise between the sen
ate 50 per cent rate and the S2 per cent
rate previously voted by the house.
The vote was 201 to 153.
President Harding's act in sending a
letter to the house, urging compromise
on a 40 per cent Income surtax rate In
the tax bill, was denounced on the floor
by Representative Frear, Republican
of Wisconsin.
Frear. one of the leaders of the
Republican insurgents fighting for
approval by the house of the senate 50
per cent surtax amendment, charged
Harding's letter as "unfair and unjust."
" "That letter," Frear decfared.
"should have been sent to the senate
when the tax bill was there, instead of
being directed to the house at the last
minute."
Turning upon his Republican col
leagues. Frear shouted :
"You'll need more than a letter from
the president when you face the people
on this issue."

The Jefferson street station of the
Oregon Electric was held up at 9 :50
Wednesday night and $56.77 was taken
from the cash drawer. W. C. Walton,
the agent, gave the police a description
which convinced the police that the
holdup was the same man who tried to
rob the North Bank station earlier in
the evening.
Walton and the station caretaker were
the only men in the Jefferson street sta
tion at the time. The holdup covered
Walton with. a pistol while he went
through the cash drawer, and made no
attempt to search the agent, who had
a valuable watch in his clothes.
An attempt to hold up EL C. Bowen,
ticket clerk at the North Bank station,
failed at 8 o'clock Weanesday night
when the bandit became frightened and
fled after Bowen called for help.
The bandit, a short, fair complex
toned man about 24 years old, had been
loitering in the waiting room nearly an
hour before he tried to rpb Bowen, according-
to others who were waiting
for trains.
Finally he edged over to the ticket
window, where there was 1100 in the till.
and, thrusting a revolver into Bowen' s
face, said in a low voice:
"Hand over that Jack or I'll blow your
head off."
Instead of complying, Bowen dodged
below the counter out of the bandit's
range and began pounding the floor and
calling Jor help. The bandit ran. When
Bowen heard him run out of the door,
he started in pursuit The man disap
peared up Eleventh street.
-I didn't realise that he was in earn

Then I saw he meant business and I
reached for the till as if I were going
to get the money, but instead I dropped

shouting for help, making as much noise
as I could.

By Koy Gartner
To begin with. I want to say that I
have a horror of taking human life. I
have never killed a man.
There might have been some far more
sensational outcomes of my escapes If
it had not been for this abhorrence on
my part.
So I want everybody to know that
while I do not deny being a robber, I
am not -a murderer at heart.
I think it is only natural that every
person should want his liberty. In that
I am not a bit different from every
other fellow, .either out of Jail or In it.
Laock any- man up, or pat him under
restraint, and he at oes begins to plan
as to how he can get away.
' Well, that is what happened to m. -1
my level best to get away. Tow anew
the result. , '-;

1 am not bragging about It. Don't
think that. My advice to averr man.
women and child Is to stay away from
a career of crime. But I am what I
am, an it is to late now to ehanFft
the things that already have occarre.
Ton ask me about the details of my
escape from McNeil Island on th flfift
of last September. Well. Ill trU yea
the story, but I want you and every,
body else to understand that 1 am oi
relating this In a spirit of bravado.
