GERMAN CABLE PROBLEM TO BE SETTLED SOON Present Plan of Operation by Joint Agreement Expires Feb. 15. 5 NATIONS CONCERNED WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Tbe international communications conference must be called into sessions within tlie next few days if a decision with regard to the disposition of the former German cables is to be reached within the time limit imposed by the conference shortly before its adjournment here on Dec. 14. Since Jan. 1 of this year the former German cables have been operated for the joint financial account of Great Britain, Japan, France, Italy and the United States with the understanding that receipts eventually will be divided among the powers in accordance with the final disposition of the cables. CONFERENCE MAY BE CALLED EARLY. Feh. 15 is the date set for the expiration of the present modus vivendi and the delegates agreed that if no decision as to the final allotment of the cables was reached before that time the conference should Immediately determine upon anew working arrangement to continue until Mareh 13. As considerable discussion is anticipated before the adoption of either a final decision or anew working arrangement, the conference probably will be celled several days in advance of Feb. 15. Under-secretary of State Norman H. Davis said that delegates who sought a recess in order to return home and consult with their respective governments, re reporting frequently and that they are apparently making progress. As president of the preliminary conference, Davis will issue the call for the next session. YAP IST.AXD STATUS TO BE DISCUSSED. Whether the states of the island of Yap will be determined at the forthcoming conference was declared to be problematical. That the sahjeet will be discussed at least incidentally seems practically certain, inasmuch as Yap is a relay point on the German truna Pacific route. The United States will not recede from her original contention that Yap must be internationalized and that the powers must have equal rights thereon, notwithstanding the fact that the council of the League of Nations has decided upon the form of Class C mandates and has awarded the island to Japanese under that classification. It Is unlikely that the foreign delegates who went home for consultation will return to Washington for the new communicatious conference, but inasmuch as ambassadors of tbs various couutrles interested are authorized to act as alternatives. there will be no hitch in proceedings on that account. The reason for delay in reconvening the conference is understood to be the desire of Secretary Davis to give the interested governments an opportunity to thrash out all details of policy so that the work may proceed as expeditiously as possible when the delegates meet again.

SENATE MAKES SALARY SI,OOO (Continued From Page One.) Buchanan, Cann, Decker, Uartzell, Hill, Humphrey Kline Lindley, McConaha, Meier and Moorhead. SCHOOL BOOK QUIZ ORDERED. The Senate instructed the Committee on Rights and Privileges to investigate the school textbook contracts and to report back to the Senate. The committee has authority to summon witnesses and to delve deeply into the affair. Senator Cann, author of the original motion which asked the Senate to '‘condemn" the action of the board as "unwise and unwarranted," declared that a full Investigation should be made and that an act for the abolishment of the board of education should be passed. He asserted that the letting of the contracts should have been delayed until next summer. Senator William M. Swain, Pendleton, and Senator Winfield Miller. Indianapolis, urged the Senate to postpone hasty action until the matter had been fully investigated. Swain denied that he was tbs spokesman for the board of education. Both of the Senators rend figures from pamphlets and Cann inquired why one had Dot been placed on his desk. He made the inference that the figures were supplied by the book companies interested In the contracts. STRODEB MOTION PREVAILS. Senator Oscar Ratts introduced a motion in the midst of the debate asking that the Cann motion be referred to the Committee on Education. Senator Don P. Strode. Kokomo, moved to amend the Ratts motion providing that the matter should be referred to the Committee on Rights and Privileges with power to Investigate. Three bills were introduced at the morning session of the Senate. One, by Senator Miles Furnas, Lynn, provides for the registration of all persons entering coal mines, and fixes a flue of from $25 to SSPO and imprisonment in Jail for six mouths for failure to comply with the act.

Our division Is making cooperation in the effort to assist these ex-soldiers ” Mr. Gregg's division, which was tied for fourth place In the Imitation speedway contest last night, expects to forge to the front tonight when it reports the number of memberships sold to merchants and manufacturers for the ex-sol-diers.
