ChM SLATED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. (By The Associated Press)
- Gradual abolition of extra territorial rights in China was
agreed to "in principle" today by the arms conference and
an exhaustive examination of the Chinese judicial system
was decided on to determine how rapidly the change can be
accomplished.
Sitting as a committee of the
whole, the delegates virtually de
elded in 'executive session to put
the Investigation into the hands of
an International: commission of
Jurists-who will visit China next
year and report direct to the gov
ernments concerned as to the abil
ity of the Chinese authorities to
take over the full administration
of justice' now exercised In large

the extra territorial privilege.

Austrian Surgeon Astonished
at Number of Cripples
Clamoring for Aid
NEW YORK, Nov. 25. Misery
so poignant and so widespread
greeted Dr. Adolph Lorenz. fam
ous Austrian orthopedic surgeon
on the steps and in the halls of
the hospital for joint diseases to
day, that he said he had almost
decided to devote the remainder
of his days to alleviating the suf
ferings of America's cripples. 1
Dr. Lorenz said at the end of
his first "gratitude" clinic, that
never in all his career, had he
been affected as he was by the
sight of hundreds of maimed, dis
torted humans, clamoring for his
aid. And never, he added, had he
seen a land so sorely in need of
relief from spinal and other trou
bles superinduced by infantile
paralysis. 1
Hisi observations so far, he de
clared, led 'him to believe that
there were 10 or 15 times as
many" such sufferers in the Unit
ed States as in any other country
in the world. He was appalled, he
said, at what he had found since
coming here to try to repay some
part of America's bounty to starv
ing Austrian children.
.Whether he will accept a' 20-
room hospital in Brooklyn which
M. O. Collins, an oil man, has .of

the proceeds of a $100,000 fund or

JUDGE MAKES
NEW RULING
ON DIVORCES
Tucker Refuses to Consider
Those From Other Counties
Holds It Unlawful
PORTLAND, Nov. 25. Per
sons living outside ot Multnomah
county who are seeking divorcer
cannot bring their cases into the
circuit courts in this judicial dis
trict, according to an opinion to
day by Circuit Judge Tucker.
Judge Tucker gave this opinion
in dismissing the case of F. B. Cox
against Frankie Cox, both resi
dents of Umatilla county.
'The circuit courts in Portland
have been made a clearing house
for persons from other parts of the
state who wish to avoid divorce
action in their own communities,"
the judge said.
"I do not believe that it is law
ful for them to waive venue to
bring their cases into another ju
dicial district.
"Divorce costs should be borne
by the home county of the per
sons seeking divorces. Further
more, when a divorce suit is be
gun In a court in the participants'
own town, the district attorney
has some chance to detect collu
sion." Official Wounded by Bomb,
Polish Soldiers Are
Accused of Outrages
KOVNO. Lithuania, Nov. 25.
(By the Associated Press.) Min
ister of Finance Galvanauskas was
seriously wounded early this mor
ning by the explosion of a bomb
which was thrown through a win
dow of his residence.
The explosion occurred at 3
o'clock, and the minister's house
and other buildings adjoining it
were seriously damaged. The
concussion -shook the American
consulate.
The attempted assassination of
the minister is believed to have
been the outgrowth of the high
feeling existing in Lithuania over
the government's proposed accept
ance of the latest plan of the
elague of nations for settling the
dispute over Vilna.
Army circles and a large mass
of the population are against ac
ceptance of the plan to create an
autonomous Vilna canton, which
they consider would be a sur
render to Poland. The feeling of
the people was heightened a week
ago by a new Polish invasion of
nine villages in Suwalka province
which is in the league of nations
neutral zone.
Lithuanian inhabitants of the
places invaded have reported out
rages by Polish soldiers and have

British Premier Will Insist
Upon ; Declaration of
Loyalty to Crown
LONDON, Nov. 2 5. (By The
Associated Press) What is
feared to be the last sceue in the
effort to brinK peace to Ireland
was enacted today when Prime
Minister Lloyd Ceorge- and Sir
James Craig met in the former's
official residence in Downing
street, where the imperial premier
told the head of, the northern gov

had not consented to the oath ot
allegiance to the king, a prere
quisite to Ulster's agreement to
enter an all-Ireland parliament.
' Cabinet Consulted
Sinn Fein delegates are con
sulting with members of the cab-
inetF in Dublin on the crisis thus
brought about, while Sir (James
packed his bag and returned to
Belfast, where he will report to
his parliament next Tuesday and
possibly disclose the cause of the
virtual breakdown of the Irish
negotiations. The official corre
spondence that has passed between
the various delegations also may
be published at the same time in
London.
Week-end efforts, meanwhile,
will be made by peacemakers in
an attempt to persuade the Sinn
Fein to modify its attitdue on the
question of allegiance to the king.
The Dail Eireann members have
taken the oath of allegiance to
the Irish republican and thus far
for it recognition within Ireland,
of King George. The furthest con-
cesison from the Sinn Fein has
been their willingness to recog
nize the king as the formal presi
dent of the community of ree na
tions which Ireland might choose
voluntarily to join, but even this
wa snot definitely promised.
President Sought
Lord Chancellor Birkenhead
and Attorney General Hewart,
law officers of the crown, hae
ransacked the constitutions of all
the British dominions to find any
precedent for this kind of rela
tionship with the British crown
that Sinn Fein will consider, but
nothing can be found, and the
Evening News, the first London
newspaper to indicate the real
cause of the crisis, suggests that
the relations of Bavaria with Prus
las In the German empire might
furnish such a precedent.
But Mr. Lloyd George, it is un
derstood, would not admit of any
arrangements which wculd leave
Ireland's allegiance to the crown
in any doubt and the government
would support Ulster in refusing
any association which would weak
en its British citizenship.
IVco Up To Sinn Fein
The only prospect for peace
now is said to rest oh Sinn Fein's
conceding allegiance to the crown
and the influence of the advocates
of moredation has been invoked in
a final effort to change its posi
tion. The question is being ut as
to whether the point involved is
worth renewed warfare, for a
breakdown of the negotiations on
that issue, it is believed, would be
followed either before or after the
general election, by the handing
over of Ireland to military ruie
and the displacement of the civil-'
ian officials in Dublin castle, to
whose influence is attributed the
previous failure of military meas
ures. Jklilftary Kct Back
All along the Sinn Fein dele
gates have held the belief that no
matter what the result of the ne
gotiations might be, the British
public would oppose the employ
ment of the military; and in thii,
they have the support of former
Premier Asquith. who at a meet
ing of. the Liberal Federation to
day said the Libe'ral party had not
receded from any pledge given
against the forcible coercion of

that is forced transportation of

Many districts in Marion coun

these are maintaining schools and
