Tiw have been many rumors . ja Baa Francisco that for bis attorney alone Arbuckle was paying 1100,000, I : am assured this la not the truth. Gavin SicNae's fee may be estimated at about IJO.OW. The other expense of 4he trial will run to 15000 and addiUonal attorneys' fees will brine the total to about 30rQ0O.

The house appropriations committee decided today not to frame the 1923 army appro priation blQ until the conference on the limitation of armament had reached a final agreement upon the reduction of land forces. This action was taken in eonrresslonal circles to Indicate a belief that an -understanding looking to de creases in military and naval expendi tures would be effected by the confer ence. An agreement has already been reached by the committee not to take up the navy appropriation bill until the armament conference closes.

About 11:30 a. m. he received a report of the accident, and there being no telephone communication to Cascade ocks, he sent a messenger on foot for a doctor and himself hurried up the trail with first aid eauiDment . About a half mile up the trail he met one of the Matamaa .coming down, who said a doctor would be unnecessary,, so he asked the man to head off the phy sician while he continued toahe scene of the accident i' J.

Dec eV-(WASHIXGTON BL'REAN OF THE JOURNAI Presi dent Harding's Idea of a "conference of understanding an -association of na tions" that will somehow' fall short of being an actual ' association, a dealing with world problems -witnout ine neees- ir of hard- and fast treaty obligations," is being contemplated with mingled emo tions. , ' The quotations as used above are not to be taken as a reproduction of the president's language, but msy ' be re-1 gsrded as a faithful reflection ef White House opinion as it filters through from vsrious sources of authority. 3d any will say. and do say. that these expressions sound vague, and. it may well be ob served that they are as vague as they sound. 1 : . BAftDIsa HELP SI5C RE The president is generally credited With a sincere desire to do something to promote the peace of the world, beyond the mere process of counting up ships nd soldiers and weapons on a score board which may prove, after all is said. to be nothing more than a means 01 pre serving relative strength. How to attain something more without flying counter j nts own declarations against leagues and alliances Is a problem. To reach an understanding with other nations "without the necessity of hard gud fast treaty obligations" may be pos sible as to certain general principles, nut the -president cannot- ge very far in that direction without raising a sterm over abuse of -the presidential offioe, because tbe constitution makes the senate 'part of the treaty .making .power. Foreign nations received a large education in the controversy ever the League of Nations. "DEATH WATCH AIT3 ; The minute that a real commitment is attempted, it must take the form of a treaty, and a treaty must be ratified by two-thirds ef the senate. In the senate are the irreeoneilables; still pledged to fight to the end against any real com mitment that will "entangle" the United States in any form of common action with other countries. The merest hint of an association ef nations that associ ates will be pounced upon by these "de fenders of American independence of ac tion.- .- . The president only recently graduated from the senate, and he knows that situ-'; at! on. '.He has for some time talked rather gradlosely . of "common under standings of' mutual good will," an "as-. sociation - of nations without lnvolye ment," but no one has been able to ob tain a closer definition. - There is nothing new in the -presidential: suggestion- ex cept in the fact that it is made while representatives of the great nations are in Washington, evidently with the hope 'hat something may be ; worked out. Seemingly the president's mind has traveled this far : An agreement for limi tation of naval armament at the present conference ; an invitation to other na tions to ratify this result and to attain some supplementary agreement ; a yearly conference: in some country to carry on and promote adjustments; beyond that the nebulous idea of an "association," concerning which the president will be ercQned. by many from' having any defi nite statement, in view et his past utter ances and tne attitude of a large part ox his party in- the senate. ; ' . . .'-..; j 1. 1, a ';' ''j.'AA TOKIO HAS ACCEPTED; : DECLARES 0 T (Con tinned from face One) signal victory for those Japanese who are opposing the Hughes 5-6-3 naval ratio. , Vidrola come in a great variety of 'styles j and prices, from a friendly little insument at fij, clear on up to 1500. .

While the gener al conference virtually marks time awaiting word from TokJo, Chinese and Japanese delegates are now proceeding with their discussion of Shantung. The Japanese announced Monday that they had agreed to renounce all preferential rights held by the Germans in the prov ince under the treaty between Germany and China of March, 1915. Bach a con' cession is only a minor point. Settle' ment of control of disputed railroad and the major principles are yet to come. Meanwhile the Japanese are taking steps to get their statement of the ease before the public. Vice Minister Hani- tiara read a statement to correspondents Monday, starting off with a highly Americanised lead." 8AT8 IT 18 ALL BtJNK "The popular Idea in America seems to be that Japanese overrun the Chinese provinces, control the railways, govern ment and everything else," Hanihara de clared, and added : "That is all bunk. "If any of you here believe that is the case ygu have had one put over on you." The statement then explained that the only railway In dispute was a Una 289 miles long and policed by 2700. "Your papers pay us-a great compli ment by saying that this force holds the province with its forty million Chinese in subjection," Hanihara continued. "If we were really so brave and so capable we should not have to strive for a 70 per cent or any other proportionate navy for defense. Explaining that the area of territory of Kiao Chou is less than One half of 1 per cent of the entire province, Hani hara pointed out that it was taken from Germany, not from China. "Not only did we take nothing from Our colossal neighbor, but we have ac tually offered to restore the port to her and give her half right in the former German railway," the Japanese delegate continued. "We Japanese consider that for the cost that we paid in blood and money we, had a right to compensation, but we planned that the compensation should come from Germany only. What we Intended is that in those mining rights which the Germans held - we should have a half share ; not all of the railways, but the 181 miles , that run from the port to the provincial capital should be our compensation. ... Our way of thinking may be peculiar, but we generally doub whether. Englishmen or Americans, placed as we are In the Far Cast, la absolute need of raw materials and markets for our manufacturers, would have made .so generous an offer to China." K , --. ----- The statement declares only the most friendly feeling: for China and declares a "willingneess to make a serious ef fort to come to an amicable understand tag." '. ; : : Pointing to the Japanese, agfcement to withdraw their 2700 troops and to hand back Kaio Chou if China will open K 4 for trade and commerce, the statement also pointed to the agreement In gen eral conference on the policy of the open door, "which we - Japanese have- not everywhere obtained nor enjoyed up to the present.' . .. - For This Week Only JJlouses Sweaters HALF PRICE Waists and Overblouses GeorgetteCrepe de Chine Messaline It's our premief blouse vent of the year.
