ANGLO-JAP TREATY TO GO; FOUR POWERS TO ENTER NEW PACT * ‘Big Three 9 Pave Way for Nippon to Accept 5-5-3 Ratio Proposed in Hughes * Naval Plan. VIRTUAL AGREEMENT IS REPORTED By A. L. BRADFORD. WASHINGTON’. Dec. 3.—The Anglo-Japanese alliance is scrapped. The United States, Great Britain, Japan and France enter into an un‘deretanding to take the place of the alliance. Japan, in view of the above conditions, accepts the ■■ i 6-5-3 naval limitation plan of the United States. J'. / . These momentuous steps in world affairs, the most important to have been tKrn in the present conference on limitation of armament, virtually have been decided 011 by Hughes for the United tSates. Balfour for Great Britain and Kato for Japan, it was learned today on highest authority. This is a virtual decision, because these steps have been submitted to the home governments concerned by the delegates here and only final word of approval from k & some of the governments is necessary before they are 1 . JII& put into definite shape promulgated to the world and * . Al&kfr, formally adopted. ■ These great decisions were reached informally in a —. ——— two-hour conference last night between the "big three” ‘ i>ki> united States, Great Britain and Japan—Hughes,

Balfour and Kato. WHAT DECISION' REALLY MEANS. • These steps by the great world statesmen mean that the menace of the AngloJapanese alliance to the United States is to be removed, that war between the United States and Japan is to be made nearly Impossible and that the Hughes plan for limitation of naval armament is to be definitely accepted. The understanding between the United States, Great Britain, Japan and France is to have two main parts, your corespondent is informed, as follows: 1. That these great powers pledge themselves to observe and maintain to the best of their ability the peace of the Pacific and the Far East. 2. To further that end and to lessen the .chances of conflict among themselves, fihese powers agree to the non-fortifica-tion of the Pacific isles. . Admiral Baron Kato, chief of the Japa- '•** delgatiuo, immediately after Che concert ice of the "Jig three," sent un urgent secret cable message to his government In Tokio asking authorisation to accept the 6b naval ratio for Japan on the above stated conditions. "Conditional acceptance'' was said to have been given by Kato in the conference. MUST HAt E to PER CENT OK SOME GUARANTEE. Kato is understood to have stressed to Hughes and Balfour the necessity of Japan having a TO per cent naval ratio from the standpoint of national security w.thout some guarantees such ns nonfortiticatlous of the Pacific islands and the new Pacific understanding. The entire plan seems to be up to Tokio and Japan Is expected to accept. A reply will be a few days in coming from Tokio. The next plenary session of the conference will be a inomenruous one. it is then that Secretary Hughes is expected to announce as an accomplished fact the understanding between the four great powers to take the place of the AngloJapanese alliance. This will be Hughes’ second bombshell, the expected one on the great Issues of the Pacific find the Far East. However, this will differ from the first bombshell—the drastic proposal for Cutting the great navies of the world —In that the foreign delepations concerned will (Continued on Page Two.)

More Business in Government Means More Business Men Must Aid Government Work

Special to Indiana Daily Times . and Philadelphia: Public Ledger. By RICHARD SPILLANE. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 3. —Where is there to he found a spokesman for business, one able to command the earnest attention of *JI the people? Otto H. Kahn, head of the great banking house of Kuhn, I,oeb & Cos., says: “The most pressing problems the world /aces today are not political, not even primarily social in character, but relate to matters of practical economics, questions of trade, employment, production, consumption, distribution, transportation, finance, etc., a fact which, though* ignored, forgotten or disregarded by the makers of the peace treaties of Versailles, has been all too fully attested and brought home by the painful experience of the last two years.” He declares “business can safely put Its trust in the masses of the people, provided it will go to the trouble to state its case clearly and fully. That has been demonstrated again and again.”

But it must have a spokesman to present the views of business to the public to correct misinformation, to meet attacks and to spread lessons of fundamental economics and n n organiser to marshal the scattered forces of business and make effective their legitimate influence in the councils and the laws of the Nation. It is incongruous and 'detrimental, he points out, to legislate on business matters without consulting and heeding business men. It is sheer folly, and malignant folly, at that, to think that it is possible to shackle and hamper business. penalize success, disturb the delicately adjusted machinery of commerce and interfere with the free play of economic forces without causing harmful consequences to the country as a whole. MR. KAHN has given vigorous expression to what has been in the minds of many men. The laws of the Nation are framed or have been framed in large measure by lawyers and agriculturists. That is the fault of business. Asa rule public office has little charm to the business man. Oratory has been and still is,to some degree, a prerequisite to success in politics. The man who thinks clearly on business questions, or who is best informed on business has not been a conspicuous success on the stump. But there has been a

3 POWERS TO GIVE UP CHINA LEASEHOLDS ‘Conditional’ Agreement Reached in Secret. FRANCE LEADER Terms to Be Set Out in Later Announcements. By HARRY L. ROGERS. WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.—Japan, Great Britain and France agreed at today's secret sessions of the powers to give up “conditionally” their lease holds in China as follows: Japan to give up Kiao-Chow in Shantung. Great Britain to give up Wei-Hei-Wei. France to give up Kwang-Chou-Wan. The conditions upon which the three powers agreed to give up their holdings in those places were set forth in statements submitted by the leaders of the three delegations. VIVIAN! or FRANCE TAKES INITIATIVE. The initiative was taken by M. Vivian! of France. He anounced that France is willing, under conditions, to give up Kwang-Uhou-Wau. and his statement of the French position was said to have been the most complete of any of the powers. Great Britain followed nml her spokesmen announced that she was willing to give up Wei-Het-Wei under conditions outlined. Then Japan followed by announcing that she was prepared to get out of Shantung, provisionally, but the Japan ese made a reservation where Manchuria was concerned. The Japanese spokesmen also said Japau was willing to disrtf Fnrf Arthur, but fliaf at the present moment Japan did not believe it was possible to accomplish this. JAPANESE STRING BELIEVED RAILROAD. The' conditions under which the three powers agree to let go of their holdings will be announced luter in a public statement. I Unless the concessions are hedged about with nullifying conditions the development constitutes tlio greatest victory the Chinese have yet won. It is believed Japan's agreement to get out Shantung is conditional upon her being allowed to retain joint control with the Chinese of the Shantung railways. The Far East committee met for more than two hours. There was seme discussion of the spheres of influence, but because several of the powers concerned desired more time, the main discussion was postponed until Wednesday when the next meeting of the Far East committee will take place. There will be no meeting on Tuesday, as the entire conference - personnel has been invited to be present at the Capitol to bear President Harding deliver his message to Congress. EIGHT DIE IN RIOTS. MADRID, Dee. 3. A fresh outbreak of terror. In which eight men were killed, was reported from Barcelona today. All of the victims were workmen.

change in recent years and particularly in the Cabinet The Cabinet of President Harding contains several men of commanding ability in business. Os the group Herbert C. Hoover perhaps is nearest to Mr. Kahn's specification. Would he fit the need of a spokesman for business ? Perhaps he would do better as an organizer. But as spokesman he unquestionably would command the confidence of the people as would few men in public life today who are competent to analyze and present the questions of business to the millions who make up America.. IN EFFECT Mr. Kahn indicts business for not attending to business. Certainly it is incumbent upon business to j see that the laws under which it operates are not restrictive and deadening to trade, commerce and finance. ! It might be said he inveighs against an effect while ignoring the cause. I More business men would go to Legislatures, to Congress ami to city councils if more business men paid attention to I political questions. It is notorious that I business men vote with less regularity than do their fellows. They give over the machinery of government making to the politicians.

Humane Society Chief Says He Will Attempt to Stop Cat Roundup

Voicing his opposition to the practice of the Indiana Medical College In bribing young school children to "steal" cats for vivisection purposes, VV. H. Roberts, president of the Indianapolis Humane Society, yesterday declared he would do all In his power to stop It. Mr. Roberts’ announcement follows the expose In the Times that agents of the medical college were paying youthful pupils in school So. 4, Blackford and ! Michigan streets, $1 each for cats and I the further revelation that the lnstitu- : tlon soon would be-In the market for dogs collected by the same methods. When Mr. Roberts’ attention was called to the fact that Mrs. Lula Coblelgh Grove, principal of No. 4 school, had obtained "confessions” from six of her pupils that they had been engaged in running down cats In that neighborhood and selling them to the college, he said SAYS HE OPPOSES THE "SYSTEM." "1 don't know that these are the facts, but I certainly would be very much opposed to a proposition of permitting children to collect cats or animals of any description and selling them, regardless for what purpose they are to be used. I certainly think that the putting of a valuation on cats and dogs and buying them from children without proper investigation as to where they were obtained is a deplorable condition. "I slsll be very glad to use what in fluenre I may have to stop the practice.”

War Mothers Ask Reason for Delay at Sunnyside Demand Completion of Buildings to Aid Tubercular ex-Soldiers.

Strong protests today were voiced by Mrs. Ella Aker, chairman of the Marlon County War Mothers, and other members of the organization, against the delay in completing two portable building' for use of tubercular ex-service men at Sunnyside. , Mrs. Aker, accompanied-by Mrs. A. M. Kitchen. Mil North Jefferson street; Mrs Bert I.igenfeltcr, 436 North Jefferson street, i)iht w w vrwr~ vn.v boulevard appeared before the Marion County commissioners and demanded to know when the buildings wi uld he 'ready for occupancy. Mrs. Aker told the commissioners thnt ' she and the other women visited Sunnyside yesterday afternoon and that not a man was working on the buildings. RATS WORK W ILL BE COMPLETED WEDNESDAY. Carlin H. Shank, president of the commissioners. explained .that the rainy weather prevented the plumbers from and lilg outside work. He stated Hint the buildings, not including the plumbing. 1 would be completed by next Wed ties day. “But there has been weeks of good weather before the present rains." Mrs Aker stated. “Why wasn't the plumbing work done in good weatherV” * County Auditor Ino K. Fesler stated thnt the commissioners have saved $3,000 by engaging a plumber on a “cost-plus basis" to Install the plumbing and the fixtures instead of letting the contract to contractors whose bids for plumbing were more than the cost of the buildings. The estimated price was SIO,OOO, but the commissioners assert the method they are using will cost about $7,000. CAN SEE NO REASON FOB DELAY. The women said they could see no reason for the months of delay in erecting and equipping two portable building/ it is thought the plumbing may l e Installed by Christmas. It became known today that the water supply at .Sunnyside ds in a critical condition and that tlie institution is practically without water, ns the well which ’has been used is giving up only mud at this time, Commissioner Harry Tutewiler said.

ARREST AWAITS FREE SPITTERS ! Health Official Announces Opening of Crusade. Promiscuous spltters will be "first warned and then arrested,” Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the city board of health, said today in announcing a new anti-spitting crusade, lie said health officers had been instructed to break up the habit of spitting on sidewalks and lo use drastic measures if found necessary. Dr. Morgan also said that the ventilation of moving picture shows and other buildings where public gatherings are held has been Inspected and that changes have been ordered In some places. Health officers also have been instructed to see that, street cars are properly vent Hated, he said. Concert Tickets to Be Ready Monday Tickets for the municipal concert to lie given in Caleb Mills Hall Tuesday eve- ] ning under the auspices of the boards of park and school commissioners will be .placed upon free public distribution at the ! Fuller-Ryde Music Company's store. 27 1 East Ohio street, at 9 o'clock Monday morning, James IT. Lowry, superintendent of parks, announced today.

He Didn’t Know That the Jewish Federation maintains a small camp for sick children and one for sick adults, besides night classes, free kindergarten, children’s dental clinic, public welfare clinic and other activities of relief and welfare, because his money helps to pay the bills. The federation cared for 200 poor families during the year, besides emergency relief and constructive help toward regaining a self-support-ing status to hundreds of others.

Roberts seemed surprised when he was informed that cats were being used for experimental purposes at the college. With President Roberts of the Humane Society declaring his determination to atop the practice, and members of the school board aroused, in addition the desire of Judgo Frank J. Lahr of juvenile court to prevent school children from becoming incorrigible nnd delinquent in their studies, Indications are that step* will be taken which will prevent the college in the future from increasing Its supply of dogs and cats by open advertising and encouraging school boys to "chase" cats and dogs and deliver them to the college fur $1 each. OFFERED HIGHER PRICE FOR DOGS. The six boys wlio told Mrs. Grove that they sold cats to William Bradford, custodian of the college, and that he paid them, assert that In several instances they were told that the college “could use some dogs at $l3O a piece.” Iu the meantime, Mrs. Grove is continuing her investigation to determine if other boys Ifave sold cats to the college. She is of the opinion now, however, that the practice, as It affects the school, has been stopped, Mrs. Grove was interested in stopping the practice because, she contended, it was “stealing" and it was her greatest desire that the boys of her school should be honest. She explained to them that if they sold property not their own they really were selling stolen goods.

According to Auditor I'esler, plans for emergency relief will lie in effect late tlds afternoon. It was stated that Sunnyside iN receiving no additional patients until tlie water supply is .taken care of by the commissioners. The commissioners plan to sink anew well at once.

"The way for Democrats to win is for more of them to vote the Democratic ticket and' not so damn many of them vote the Republican ticket.” This somewhat picturesque statement on the part of Former Governor Samuel M.

While defense attorneys would not admit that they were beginning to fear this result, their anxiety was very evident as time wore on. As the jury left for luncheon, a report spread that another vote had shifted. The latest report placed the ballot of the jury at eight for acquittal and four for a verdict of guilty. Simultaneously it was learned the district attorney will ask Judge Louderback to hold the jury in deliberation until a verdict is reported regardless of the length of time required. . By ELLIS H. MARTIN. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-* The seven men and five women in whose hands rests the fate of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, resumed their deliberations behind locked doors in the jury room at 10 o’clock today.

A fresh rumor spread with the return to the Hall of Justice of the Jury that they stood nine to three for acquittal instead of eleven to one, as grapevine communiques had it last night
