FULL UNDERSTANDING NOW HELD POSSIBLE Japanese Offer Also to With draw Troops Trom Rail road Zone . WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. (By the 'Associated Press.) Brought together again turoufcta the ef forts of Arthur J. Balfour and Secretary Hughes, Japanese and Chinese -delegates today resumed their interrupted Shantung con versations and agreed on with drawing Japanese guards from the Tslng Tao-T6inan Fu railroad and all other troops from the former German leasehold. Withdrawal of the troops, however, is con tingent on settlement of the en tire Shantung controversy. i Agreement reached after two cessions, Japanese agreed to with draw their railroad troops with in three months after the signing of : a complete Shantung accord, if circumstances permitted, but in any event, within six months. Shldehara Sits In With regard to other troops, the Japanese undertake to begin the withdrawal Immediately upon the Chinese taking over the ad ministration of Kiao Chow, if poBsible then, or in any event within 30 days thereafter, pro vided an ultimate understanding Is reached to restore the lease hold to China. Ambassador Shi dehara represented Japan at to day's sess'on while Vice Foreign Minister Honihara, who usually has been sitting in. for Japan, was engaged in other matters. The latter, however, in a state ment tonight discussed the case in a way which was regarded by some as presenting some diverg ence from the presentation of pro posals in the sessions of the two delegations. Proposal Not New Japan's offer to withdraw the 4700 troops from the railway zone In Shantung, Mr. Hanihars said, was not a new proposal nor was it conditional on settlement of the entire Shantung question. The Japanese government, he said, had made a similar suggestion a year ago to China, conditioning it merely on China's readiness and capacity to substitute a suitable Chinese police force which would assume respopsibility of protect ing the railway which was Japan'.! property. "Naturally if the railroad be comes Chinese property by sub sequent negotiations at Washing ton or later he added, "we have nothing to say aboat polic protec tion. We are talking now about an actual and not a future situa tion. We are, not presuming or assum'ng as to what will be done concerning the railroad. We want the Japanese railway loan agree ment. I hope we "are nearer to gether on the railroad question. There is no reason why the other side (the Chinese) should not see the fairness of our proposition, which still includes an insistence upon the appointment by China of a Japanese traffic manager and chief accountant." DLstEgxeement Unfortunate Asked as to what would be the effect upon the entire con ference of a non-settlement, of the Shantung question, Mr. Hanihara replied: "It would be most unfortunate If we could not settle thei Shan tung issue before, adjournment of the conference, f If it cannot be settled here we must wa.it for a better opportunity,' We are not to be blamed. We have gone, as far as we Can and we have held nothing back on anything. 1 1 have heard 1 nothing ot the part that the Japanese government it ready to cancel the condition of the ap pointment i of Japanese experts provided China is ready to accept a Japanese railway loan The que3t'on of salt mines ia Kiao Chow was touched on 'at the morning session, but further con sideration was put over tor a time owinr to lack of information concerning the amount of salt bo Ing exported to Japan. PORTIJND, Jan. 1 li Oregon's war on the illicit drug traffic broadened out today iin conneo kn with a state wide conference to devise plans for fighting the evil, when Representative C. N. McArtliur of Oregon, who was in the city, said he would introduce in. congress an ameudment la the immigration act providing for de portation of alien driig smuggl ers.

II Testi mony contradicting that of former service men was given today by array officers before a senate committee investigating charges that American soldiers had been hanged without trial in France. Charles G. Simons? of Camp Sher man, 36 years in the army, who was in command at Gievres, at which place soldiers had told of hearing reports of numerous exe cutions, declared only one man was hanged there and that the hanging, by his order, was se cret. . 4 iThe fact of the execution was made public later, the colonel ex plaining that the ' murder for which the soldier was put to death bad sot been committed in his area and he did not want .a big crowd on hand to witness it. The picture of a gallows, supposed to be at Gievres, which had been filed with the - committee by a former soldier, was .Identified by Colonel Simons as the structure built there, "or one telosely re sembl'ng it." Capt. Joseph D. Hahn declared there was not a word of truth in the charges by Harry W. Se gal, a soldier, that ho, Hahn, had taken part in the unlawful exe cution of two negro soldiers. Oth er witnesses said they never had heard of a lynching in the Six teenth infantry. Fight on School Dances Continued by Methodists PORTLAND, Jan. 11. A line up by demonstrations throughout the city to combat the practice of permitting dancing in school houses, and institution of a test case to set aside. If possible, the opinion of Attorney General G. M. Brown of July 10, 1916, made in favor of dancing in school bouses, are the two newest phases of the campaign begun this weak by the laymen and ministers of the Methodist Church. . "We will take steps at once to institute a test ease to determine j whether the former attorney gen eral's ruling was sound. said Gny Fitch Phelps df the Metho dist committee today. The young people of the Bap tist church are lining up, I am informed, to take an active part in the fight, and it will be our effort now to get every denom ination la the city that we can se cure to take a stand similar to that which we have taken."

(Fatty) Arnuckle, noted motion picture comedian. The case grew out of the death of Miss Virginia Rappe, the prosecution charging Arbuckle attacked her. Interest Continues The presence of a large throng in. front of the criminal courts buildJup to watch the trial prin cipals come and go' and a crowd ed court room belied to. some, ex tent the general belief that pub lic interest in the Arbuckle trial had nearly dledout. The defen dant, cheerful and keenly inter ested in the- proceedings, sat close to his chief counsel, Gavin McNab. Mrs. Mints Durfee 'Ar buckle, his wife, sat in another section of the court room, j The personnel of opposing counsel was the same as in the last trial. McNab handled -the questioning of talesmen for; the defense and Milton T. U'Rren, as sistant district attorney, for the prosecution.; Committee Present The presence in court or repre sentatives of the Women'? Vigi lant committee, a moral and civic uplift organization, figured in the questioning' of talesmen, MeNab asking if such activity of ! the committee would figure in rtbfl deliberation on the evidence. Most talesmen examined today were excused for having lined opinions. There was a possibil ity that the court venire would be. exhausted before the jury is selected, as the panel was drawn on for a previous trial of another case. There was a , general Ii3tles3r ness toward the questioning or talesmen, the humdrum and mon otony of the oft-repeated ques tions causing many heads to nod in "cat naps." Both Claim Advantage, . . The dismissal of Mrs. Neigh bors, whose case had progressed at intervals for a month, wa re garded by the defense as a "big point" in its favor, but the prp33 cution held the opposite view. The same elaborate police guard, that was maintained throughout the first trial, again appeared today, and the plan -if admitting spectators and press representatives into the court room by card was again employ ed. Three women were included in the iist of temporary Jurors se lected. Money is Apportioned j To Slayers' Captors BEND, Ore., Jsn. 11.
