FIGHT OPENS OVER SMALL l INDICTMENTS State’s Attorney in Effort to Prove Grand Jury Regularly Drawn. WAUKEGAN, 111., Deo. 15.—The fight of the State to prove valid the indictments charging Governor Len Small with conspiracy and embezzlement of State funds was begtyi in the Lake County Circuit Court today- when the preliminary hearing of the case was resumed. Charles Byers, clerk of Sangamon County, and ex-offleto clerk of the board of supervisors of that county, was to be called as the chief witness for the State. The prosecution will endeavor to prove by Byers’ testimony that the method of procedure in selecting the grand jury which returned the indictment was legal. It Is the contention of attorneys lor Governor Small that the indictments should be quashed on the ground that the grand jury which voted them was illegally drawn. Actual trial of the case. It was believed, will not start before Jan. 3. Judge Claire C. Edwards is expected to take the motions to qnash under advisement after the conclusion of the State's argument and if he upholds tha validity of all or part of the true bills, it Is not helleved that selection of a jury will begin until after the holidays. WORLD DEEDS SWING OVER TO BRIGHTER PAGE (Continued From Page One.) by centuries of growth and seasoning. It was an appalling undertaking. hot it finally has come through to the honor of each side, for necessarily there were heart-burnings and compromises of which we may never know. WASHINGTON* CATCHES SPIRIT OF RELIGION*. On the other hand, Washington has been likened to an old-fashioned campmeeting where the most hardened sinner has caught the spirit of religion and Is lifting his voice in hallelujahs. Even the scholarly and eloquent Lodge apparently has forgotten that there Is such a thing as entangling alliances and has been chosen to lead the chorus In the fourpower treaty. It is an exhilarating sight and one worth living to see, after what we have gone through. The clear and subtle-minded Root Is pointing the way toward an accommodation regarding China and her manifold questions which seems to be acceptable to all the powers involved. This Is by odds the most difficult problem to be solved, for around it the others revolve. A reduction of naval armaments may be discussed, but merely tentative agreements can be reached until the powers concur upon a policy relating to China. That Is the crux of the Pacific problem. It seemed when the conference first was called that China would be the nation which would be least satisfied with the final outcome and this Is now more certain than ever. China Is not in a position to demand or threaten, and her representatives know, as, indeed, their powerful colleagues know, that they must accept what 1b given. Some day Chlnar four hundred millions will rise and sweep their alien masters into the seas, but the time Is not yet. 1 CHINA CEN TRAL DISH AT FEAST. At the moment China Is the central dish at the feast, and she must permit for a while longer those sitting at the table to partake of the nourishment shr- offers. Her strength at present lies In the determination of all that no single one shall take greedily more than his share. The Island of Tap. that small disturbing dot in the broad expanse of the Pacific, has ceased to be a point of friction and has yielded to the benign influence of the International revival. Russia and Germany are not at this party, being overlooked purposely when the Invitations were sent out. However, they could not have come usefully, for they hare compelling reasons which keep them at home. Nevertheless, it is safe to say they are watching it with deep Interest and are wondering when and how they may come In. Their absence and the causes which brought it about will be another incentive for them to unite and some day make common cause for what they assert to be their rights. But that Is not to worry over now. I-et ns be happy at the way our part of the world is moving and let us fill our hearts with the hope that at last anew and better day has come.

Your Girl Is Safe While your daughter is safe at home, what is happening to other people’s girls, not so completely safeguarded? You may find the answer almost any day at the railroad stations if you keep your eyes open. —for instance: A girl from a small town came to Indianapolis to take a position which she believed was honorable. The man who met her was known to the police, and the Travelers’ Aid workers at the Union Station interfered. The man was sent to .jail and the trusting small town girl remained with the Travelers’ Aid until her parents came and took her back home unharmed.

O’Connor Not Present When He Is to Die Hangman Has Everything Ready, but Bandit Doesn’t Appear. CHICAGO, Dec. 15. “Terrible Tommy'' O’Connor's zero hour, 7 a. m.. struck at the county jail this morning and—nothing happened. The bagman's noose and the white shroud and hood were waiting—but “Tommy” wasn’t. Carpenters stood around, hammers and nails In hand, ready to rush up a scaffold in the event “Tommy” put in an appearance, voluntarily or otherwise, but for reasons best known to himself, the will-o-the-wisp convict permitted himself to be detained elsewhere. Where “Tommy" could have been at that hour, when he should have been attending the little “necktie party." was a matter of deep mvstery to 4,554 Chicago policemen, to say nothing of the vast army of shrewd county sheriffs who are attempting to intercept the intrepid fugitive. “Tommy” was last seen Sunday afternoon perched on the running board of a commandeered automobile, waiving a persuasive pistol in one hand and a fond adieu to the county jail with the other. Since then, according to information flashed In the public prints to the palpitating populace. “Tommy” has been: “Trapped” In 93H different buildings in Chicago. Roaming the streets disguised as a woman. Committing every hold-np in the city—no victim denying that It was “Tommy.” Working on a boat In Lahe Michigan. Hiding In the empty cantonment buildings at Ft. Sheridan. Although “Tommy's” zero hour is passed, th * authorities hasten to assure that if he is caught today—“lF* —he must die “between sunrise and sunset.” Otherwise, it Is stated authoritatively, the date of hanging will be indefinitely postponed.

HAWAII FEARS BIG INFLUX OF JAP LABORERS Scarcity of Help on Island Opens Way for Sons of Nippon. HONOLULU, Dec. 15. —Can Japan under the little-known but much-discussed terms of the almost mythical “gentleman's agreement" with the United States, flood the Hawaiian Islands with coolie laborers now that an avowed labor shortage exists in Hawaii? The answer, according to authenticallyreported statements of those high in diplomatic and state councils to Washington, is—yes. Will Japan take advantage of the situation to thus strengthen her already strong foothold in Hawaii? Consul General Y'lida, Japan's official representative in Hawaii, says no, and says it emphatically. And Mr. Yada is a man who. from long training In the Japanese diplomatic service, weighs his every word, particularly when speaking on delicate international subjects. The delicacy of the present situation

and the deire of his government to avoid complicating things by any act liable to misconstruction by our own or other governments, are given by Consul General Yada as the reasons for his emphatic negative. Despite these assurances, which, in their final analysis, are totally unofficial, It Is generally conceded that the gravity of the situation in this territory can scarcely be overestimated. With 114,000 Japanese in a total population of less than 260,000; with a shortage of 10,000 laborers on Ilawaiin sugar plantations affording Japan not only a welcome outlet for some of her surplus population, but affording her an equally welcome opportunity to tighten her grasp on a group of Islands the possession of which she has long coveted, talk of disarmament without something more definite than “gentlement's agreements" as a guarantee against further Japanese immigration, is looked upon with open disfavor by all interests in Hawaii. WOULD BAR JAP LABORER. At present the sentiment in Hawaii, now finding expression, throughout the entire territory, favors strongly the importation of outside labor of any race whatsoever, other than Japanese, as an offset to the ever-increasing control of the islands' commerce and Industries by the sons of Nippon. White laborers would be preferred by island people, but repeated tests have proven them unfit for

tropical field labor. Porto Ricans and Filipinos are being tried, but neither can be obtained In sufficiently large numbers. Chinese laborers are by many considered the ones most available and best suited for the work, but there the Chinese exclusion law Intervenes at present. Unless a solution —some solution—is hit upon in the very near future it Is generally conceded by those closely In touch with affairs, both local and International, that not only will Hawaii face an industrial calamity, an event of trifling importance to the world, but the United States will face the loss at an early date of one of its richest territories and its strongest Pacific military and naval outpost or an open break with Japan. Japanese Send Well Wishes to United States TOKID, Dec. 15.—Japan, speaking through her prime minister, Viscount Korekiyo Takahashi, congratulates the United States on the success of the YVashlngton conference. Takahashi in a statement written exclusively for this United Press, pledged

his empire to support the four-power Pacific agreement ter the limit. He discerns In It the dawn of an era of world peace through the cooperation of the nations that smashed Germany's scheme of conquest. By KOREKIYO TAKAHASHI, Prime Minister of the Japanese Empire. TOKIO, Dec. 14.—The people of Japan heartily rejoice at the news from Washington announcing that an agreement has been reached among the four powers-of the preservation of peace In the Pacific. Japan congratulates the delegates to the Washington conference who participated In formulating this agreement and the people of the powers whose representatives signed it.
