WRANGLE OVER SECRET TREATY WITH JAPANESE Leaders of Far East Republic Insist on Hearing at Conference. JAP MONEY IN SIBERIA Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON, Jan. A—in another bold stroke to attract world attention to their cause and to compel the conference to grant them a hearing, the representatives of the Far Eastern republic niado public last Dight the test of what they alleged to be a secret treaty between the Japanese government and the “bandit” general of Semenov, one time powerful anti-Bolshevist leader just now regaining renewed military influence in Siberia. The Chita delegates undertake to establish through that publication that Japan is seeking to gain a permanent political and economic foothold in Sibenu, in spite of the pledge to withdraw as soon as adequate guarantees are obtained against Bolshevist invasion of Manchuria and Korea. An effort is made to prove that Japanese money and Japanese arms and ammunition were obtained by the forces of Semenov for invasion of the Far Eastern republic. The sum of 500.000 ye.u is mentioned in the "secret treaty” the original of which, it was stated, reposes in the archives of the ministry of foreign affairs at Chita. RETURN'S FOR JAPANESE AID. In return for their aid, the Japanese to obtain, it is alleged, further "preferential rights of obtaining hunting, fishing and forestry concessions in the maritime Saghalin and Kamchatka provinces for the .development of the mining resources and gold mines in the Maritime and Amur provinces.” Mention of the mining resources of Kamchatka recalls the efforts of Washington D. Vanderlip to obtain such concessions through the soviet leaders at Moscow. Admiral Baron Kato, chief of the Japanese delegation issued a prompt denial of the existence of a secret treaty with Semenov, but he did acknowledge the fact that Semenov had received sums of money from the Tokio government. Baron Kato pointed out, however, the Japanese payments—which he said were small were made during the time of the World War, whereas the supposed secret agreement bore date of June 8, 1021. BARON KATO'S STATEMENT. In further explanation of Baron Kato's statement that financial assistance had been given Semenov, Japanese spokesmen, declared it was undertaken during the time the allies and the United States were coperating in Siberia, and that the whole program was part of the general war prosecution. Such a statement elicited from Americans a denial that thi3 Government ever had participated in any such aid. as the instructions given to General Graves were to refrain from any part in the affairs of rival factious in Siberia. Announcement of the alleged secret agreement was described by the Cbita representatives as their response to the denial by Japan of the authenticity of the Franco-Japanese treaties to which they gave publication Sunday. That new development in the campaign of the Ear Eastern republic to force the conference to a consideration of its case followed a day of widespread discussion. On receipt of the official communication of Albert Sarraut, acting chief of the French delegation to the conference, Secretary of State Hughes, in his capacity as president of the conference, sent an acknowledgment in which he stated: “I am gratified to learn that the French government formally denies that it has come to any agreement or carried on any negotiaions concerning the status of Siberia, and am glad to accept your statement that the documents in question are not authentic.” In State Department quarters the positive statement was made there was nothing in the archives of the department to substantiate reports the United States had official knowledge of the existence of the alleged agreement and diplomatic correspondence. It was stated also that none of the American observers in Siberia ever had made reports touching on the existence of such documents. Following his statement, “there is not a word of truth in it,” Baron Kato, replying to other questions bearing on Japanese plans in Siberia, informed newspaper men it was the fixed policy of his government to withdraw all Japanese troops from Siberia and to refrain from interference in any way with the domestic affairs of that country. Asked if Japan required guarantees for the life and property of her nationals in Siberia he said the answer to that depended largely on the understanding of the Japanese government il self of whether any special guarantees would be necessary to protect their citizens. He said he knew of no demand by Japan for compensation for withdrawal of her troops. SAYS JAPAN IN LEAGUE WITH BANDITS. The representatives of the Chita government contended the alleged secret agreement between Tokio and Semenov “establishes beyond any doubt” that: “1. The Japanese are in league with the bandits and pay and arm them. “2. The Japanese themselves deliberately make it impossible to stabilize conditions in the Russian Far East. “3. The Japanese are organizing attacks against the Far Eastern republic for the purpose of overthrowing the government which was elected by the people through the constituent assembly. “4. The attack of Baron Ungern-Stern-berg from Mongolia was organized by the Japanese. , “5. The Japanese are aiming under guise of establishing a ‘democracy’ of bandit Semenov, to create a government which they would practically control. “6. The Japanese are aiming to control economically the Far Eastern re-

public and to make secure for themselves special privileges and concessions. Through such charges as these the Chita spokesmen have forced their case to the attention of the world public. They have fought their way to the newspaper front pages after weeks if 3 utile attempt to reach the conference or the American State Department. It remains to be seen when the conference reaches Siberia on the Hughes agenda, whether they will have their hour for which they now are struggling.—Copyright, 1022, by Public Ledger Company. STATE MAY RUN CATTLE RANCH Plan to Aid Farmers Is Proposed. A plan whereby the State would maintain a 1.000-acre farm in the hilly lands of Indiana and raise "feeuer” cattle, was advocated at a meeting or the Purdue University agricultural heads and Governor Warren T. McCray yesterday. According to the plan, the cattle would be raised on the farm and sold to farmers of the State for fattening and sale on the market. Establishment of demonstration farms also was advocated. Both measures were urged as a means of aiding the farmers, many of whom have been wrecked financially by the decrease in the market value of their crops. The demonstration farms wonld be operated by the agricultural experts of Purdue University, and the State would not be asked to spend any money, because. it was said, many farmers are willing to turn over thetr places to the experts • Farmers of Perry and Crawford counties are said to favor the plan of raising stock in the billy lands of the State. Reformatory Sites Offered in County Two sites in Marion County for the State reformatory have been proposed to the relocation commission. The first is in Wayne Township, and was proposed by Representative Otner U. Newman ol Indianapolis. The second is near Acton Several days ago a site six miles south of Indianapolis outside the city limits was proposed. Many other sites have been proposed and the commission will meet with the Governor Jan. 5, to consider them.

DEBS’ RELEASE ISDENOUNCED Legion Post Holds Indignation -Meeting. Denunciation of the release from prison of Eugene Debs was made In no uncertain terms by a number of speakers at the installation exercises for the officers of the Parry-. Stephenson post, American Legion, at the post hall, Sixteentn and Illinois streets, last night. There is not room enough in the entire United States for Debs as long as his attitude toward this country remains as it is, the Rev. G, W. Allison, chaplain of the Marion County Council of the American Legion, said. Other speakers taking the same attitude were Oswald Kyau of Anderson, national executive committeeman of the legion from Indiana; Ed Jackson, secretary of State; Claude Gregg, State commander of the legion, and J. F. Cantwell, chairman of the Marion County council of the legion. Denial of the assertion made by Debs that the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States are supporting him has been made by Arthur G. Gresham of the department of Indiana of the organization. “On behalf of the organization we cannot let Debs’ statement go unanswered.” he said. “You, Eugene Debs, dare not wave the red flag in our faces and say we are for you. We are not for you. We are for one flag, one country and one language; we are Americans.’ Ann Stillman Goes Back to Her School NEW YORK, Jan. 4—Miss Ann Stillman, daughter of the banker, and Mrs. J.

TELL ABOUT USE OF TELEPHONES IN EARLY DAYS Pioneer Indianapvilis Subscribers Dinner Guests of Bell Company. Reminiscences of the early days of tba telephone in Indianapolis, featured a dinner given by the Indiana Bell Telephone Company at its building last night for its pioneer subscribers. Approximately 125 persons attended. They were those who were subscribers for the telephone in 18S3, or representatives of firms who were subscribers at that time. The dinner was brought about by the finding of a copy of the telephone directory of that time. The old telephone directory, which was displayed at the dinner, contained about nine hundred names. The advertising in ■ the old book was perhaps as interesting ns the list of names. One downtown store, which is still in existence, advertised that it had electric lights. Frank Wampler, vice president and genera! manager of the telephone company, acted ns toastmaster. He read a letter from Senator Harry E. New in which he described his difficulties as a reporter before the days of telephones. Albert J. Beveridge was one of the guests at the dinner and discussed the telephone in relation to human life. The program included motion pictures of the telephone system in Indianapolis and a demonstration by operators of how I telephone calls are handled through the ! various exchanges. They also demon- ] st-ated some of the faults in the use of the telephone. Old Railway Ties Fuel Gift to Poor Approximately twenty cords of wood, j old railway ties and stringers, the prop--1 erty of the Indianapolis Street Railway i j Company, will be given to tibe poor of ! the city as firewood, it was announced j today. The ties are now piled at Mini nesota street and Eagle Creek Charity ' organizations will be permitted to dis- • tribute the ties among the poor. Sawing : the timbers into stovo lengths will be a problem for the recipients to solve. Operated ‘Blind Tiger’ and Owned Revolver Joseph Shea, 25. 1042 South Senate! avenue, was arrested last ntght on the charges of operating a blind tiger anl having a revolver without a permit.
