TO CONFER OVER JAP CONTENTION Effort to Keep Jap Cables Brings Grave Problem. WASHING-TON, Dec. 10.—Japan’s retention of the Island of Tap cables will be the subject of a highly Important conference between Acting Secretary of State Norman H. Davjs and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the capitol today, It was announced by Senate* Henry Cabot Dodge, Republican, of Masachusetts, chairman of the committee. Behind Senator Lodge's announcement there lurk* a delicate situation fraught with grave possibilities relative to the present and future relations between the United States and Japan. While neither Lodge nor Davis would discuss the situation resulting from Japan's Insistence that she be permitted to retain two cables running from the Island of Tap, which she seized from Germany at the outset of the World War, It was learned authoritatively that both the State Department and members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee regard It as extremely grave. When Japan-took over the cables as "a war measure" one of them ran to Shanghai and the other to the Celebes. Since then Japan has diverted the tlrst cable so that it now runs to Tokio, as w®3 as to Shanghai. Considerable correspondence has passed between the State Department and Japan recently regarding her avowed purpose to hold on to the cables as part of her spoils of the war.

Choir Boy Slayer Protests Innocence as He fleets Death Chicago Youth Hanged on 19th Birthday for Slaying Saloon Keeper. CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—Nick Viana, the choir boy-murderer went to his death here today on his nineteenth birthday, without showing a trace of fear and protesting his Innocence. He was hanged for participating in the murder of Andrew Bowman, a saloon keeper. “It Is no disgrace to die for my father, mother and sisters,” the lad said, as the noose was adjusted. Viana declared that while he did not do the shooting, he would not tell who did, because of threats made against his family’s lives If he turned State's witness. The trap was sprung at 8:30. His neck was broken and he was pronounced dead five minutes later. Strong efforts had been made by clubs and social workers to save the boy’s life. Jane Addams and other women protestedc the hanging because of his youth. The boy sang his last song for his mother when she visited him In the death cell shortly before midnight. As the mother parted from her son for the last time, she asked him to sing for her once more. The boy’s voice, steady and clear, rang through the long corridors of the Jail with Kipling's “Mother o' Mine.” The aged and withered Sicilian mother held her son closely in her arms as he sang: “If I were hanged on the highest hill. Oh, mother o' mine, mother o’ mine, I know whose love would follow me still, Oh, mother o’ mine, mother o’ mine. Scores of relatives and friends who crowded the corridor and the Jail courtyard, wept. Sicilian madonnas -with flaming shawls, their young ones tugging at their skirts, walled. 5 ELECTROCUTED AT SING SING OSBINNING, N.

California Woman Professor Tells Value of Prunes Declares Fruit Is Cheap and Contains 60 Per Cent Sugar. BERKELEY. Cal., Dec. llL—Poor old prune, cursed by the regular boarder, long held out as the toothsome deesert by the boarding house keeper, punned about by the writers and made a Joke of wherever Its name Is heard, It Is still some fruit, according to Mrs. Agnes Fay Morgan, associate professor of household science at the University of California. In a letter to Mrs. Robert J Graham, market chairman of the Berkeley State Housewives’ Mrs. Morgan puts the prune In a dress salt and he looks like a different fellow. She saysi “Prunes are a valuable addition to the diet for a number of reasons. In the dried state they furnish an economical source of energy, since they may contain as much as 60 to 65 per cent of sugar. They compare favorably with other car-bohydrate-rich foods, as may be seen from the following brief statement of the costs and amounts of various foods required to provide the same quantity of energy, 1,160 calories, as Is furnished by one pound of dried prunes. “Prunes at 14 cents a pound, one pound is equal to: “Fresh peaches at 10 cents a pound, se'-en pounds, costing 70 cents. “Canned peaches at 20 cents a pound, five pounds, costing 81. ■ “Oranges, at 70 cents a dozen, one dozen, costing 70 cents. “Cranberries at 15 cents a pound, five pounds costing 75 cents. “Apples at 5 cents a pound, flour pounds, costing 20 cents. “Prunes are similar In most essentials to the other fruits listed, and the comparison of the economy secured by their use is therefore Justifiable. The list might be extended to include other fruits, and such vegetables as eggplant, squash, lettuce, pumpkin, cucumber, asparagus, carrots, etc, “The use of a reasonable amount in the dietary can be recommended for hygienic as well as economic reasons.” 103 Navy Recruits in Week, Says Lieut. Orr Lieut. Thomas B. Orr, officer In charge of navy recruiting for Indiana, report* one hundred and three men accepted for the navy tn the week ending Dee. 9.
