Bishop Hughes was getting ready to close the session and read the ap pointments when Lieutenant Chris? tenson, recently returned; from serf vice with the army, declared to the conference that it was not right that the session should! adjourn without the conference expressing its approv al of a "work for which a great man Is burning up his soul the treaty of peace." The lieutenant offered the resolution but it was objected to be cause It made no reservation regard ing what the bishop termed the "Shantung iniquity," and considera ble discussion resulted before a suit "able resolution was presented mak ing the necessary reservations. , In this matter Bishop Hughes expressed himself in a warm manner. Provision Called Shameful "Do not mistake me," he said, "I am in favor of a peace treaty and I ant is favor of a league of nations, but I am not in favor of a treaty hatched in secrecy during the period of the war with such shameful pro visions as that concerning Shantung. I am' sure this conference does not wish to have it known that I presid ed at a session of a conference that approved of such a thing. -;, "There are 37,00oj,000 people in the Shantung province and turning these people over to Japan is an in iquity, and a kind of thing the Metho . dist Conference cannot - underwrite!

The need of an automobile for the use of the -department war Introduced and waa j referred to the police committee to be reported on later, varney and Halvorsen will make the appoint- menu today. Chester Mofflt will probably be one-of the appointees. .- The argument presented by the business, men waa to the effect th&t crime la on the Increase and that there Is a possibility It will contin ue to increase, and that other cities are taking on t ice of this and increas ing their police protection. At least' two more officers on night duty were, nrged and an automobile to be at the disposal of the department In responding to calls from distant parts of the city. Adequate Force Opposed Alderman Vandevort spoke strong ly In favor of lneieasing the force, but reminded , the council and the business men that the police com mittee has had a continuous fight since the first ef -the year with a certain element that has been deter . mined to have the present force nr- tailed. Aldarman Yolk who ' was under the impression that eight or 10 additional . men were wanted, started -to oppose the move, but vot ed for It when apprised that only two additional officers were asked, j Alderman Utter declared i that Chief Varney deserves much credit for being able to keep the officers the city now has in view of the fact that they work 12 hours a day and do not bave a day off daring the week. , 1 ' "If two additional men are grant ed," said Utter,- "I don't want yon to think this la the last right I a in going to make for an increase la the force. When the budget cornea up at the end of the year I am' going to ask for more men so they will have to work fewer hours and a. day off. Dr. Utter spoke warmly-on the question of providing a motor vehi cle for use of officers in answering night calls. "Sometimes. he said, "they have to walk a mile or two after the taxi men have knocked off. and when they do the whole downtown section is left without protection." Alderman Wiest declared that if the business men were to ask for 10 additional members of the force it would be the duty ot the council to provide them.' Alderman Faul Johnson, who was not present last night, came In for a severe scoring ty litter, Vandevort and Wiest because they said he had blocked the installation of a light on thewest aide of Front street at tha plant of the Salem Klng'a Products company's plant after installation of the light had been ordered by th council.
