HAYNES COMING HERE TO SPEAK AT CONVENTION National Dry Law Director Will Attend Gathering on Law Enforcement. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 Federal Prohibition Commissioner R. A. Haynes is preparing to make a western tjip next week to confer with Director Bert C. Morgan of Indiana and Director "Joshua E. Russell of Ohio, to make a personal survey of conditions and -map methods of enforcement work. He expects to address a State-wide law enforcement convention .at Indianapolis. Feb. S. and a similar convention at Columbus, Feb. 10. when he will discuss the progress of Federal and State enforcement agencies. “While I have been in close personal touch with our Indiana and Ohio forces this will be toy first official visit to Indiana.” said Commissioner Haynes. “From all reports, covering every section of both States. I hare every reason to be pleased with conditions under Directors Morgan and Russell, both of whose splendid organizations are functioning with gratifying effectiveness. “Forces in Indiana and Ohio, with no thought of material gain, operate always for the common good, and I have every reason to believe that there will continue to be ihe same response as in other sections of the-country in the campaign which has for its purpose the throttling of bootlegging and illicit traffic generally. “I wish to place emphasis on the fact that there is no geography so far as the administration is concerned in the enforcement of law. The only question involved is the support of the Constitution of the United States and obbdienee to law, and all good citizens will respond to that appeal. “During my visit I will urge all lawabiding citizens to give every aid and encouragement to Directors Morgan and Russel! and the men of their organizations. “Enforcement today is a contest between the official who is doing his duty attempts to defeat the purpose of the law fyr its gain, and Government agents are in the thick of the fight. They not only are subjected to .physical danger but to the greatest demands on the one hand and to abuse and villiflcation on the other. They are held up to scorn and derision by the enemies of the law publicly. They are subject to the severest tests by the unconscionable enemies of the law in a continuous effort to break down their normal fiber and loyalty of duty. So the good citizenship of Indiana and Ohio can perform a real service by giving encouragement to these men in the difficult task they attempt.”

WOMAN’S SHADOW HOVERS IN CASE. While police were exerting every possible influence to apprehend Sands, the former valet, who is charged with having robbed his employer's home several months ago, the shadow of a woman continued to retain a prominent position in the official investigation of the case. Detectives at work on the mystery are j unanimous in the belief final solution of the crime- will reveal a feminine influence played a big part in the slaying | of Taylor. Officers are planning to question Mrs. Ada I). Dean-Tanner, sister-in-law of the slain director. To newspaper men Mrs. Dean-Tanner, at her humble home in Monrovia, reluctantly told of her relationship with the murdered man.

BOARD DELAYS ORDER TO SHIFT FIVE CAR LINES Will Wait for New Plans to Be SubDiitted by Railway Head. Rerouting of College. Columbia.

DELEGATION HEADS IN FAREWELL PRAISE WORK OF CONFERENCE

ARTHUR J. BALFOUR. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—“ The Washington armament conference has touched and benefited the Xvhole world and ail humanity,” declared Arthur J. Balfour, head of the British delegation to the armament conference here this afternoon, in his final speech of farewell to the conference. "The President of the United States, in an eloquent speech three months ago urged us to commit ourselves to the service of mankind,” Balfour said. "Looking back, I think we may say wifhout undue self-esteem that the advice of the President has been taken and we bad a Consciousness that we have been working in t lie service of mankind. “I pan well believe that the mass of treaties aud documents put on record has formed a mighty maze, of a formidable character and yet I am sure that, despite the extraordinary character of the mass of detail with which we have dealt and the fact that we have traveled all over the globe, we have touched the interests of the whole civilized world, and from the most honorable and honest motives . “The center of our troubles has been peculiar troubles created by the conditions which have prevailed in China for a quarter of a century. That great and ancient civilization dix-s not easily tit in with modern schemes of political thought. “We have had to recognize that China has to work out her own changes in accordance with the changes of a chang ing worid. “The great* commercial nations which trade with China, have suffered among themselves beesruse of the peculiar conditions existing in China \Uiieh I have indicated. “We have endeavored to keep the solid foundations of honest dealings between ourselves and in our relations to Chinese conditions.’ Balfour expressed the belief that the conference had supplied a “turning point’ in the attitude of other nations toward China. He referred to the “unhappy *uspieions as to what would happen If certain international contingencies arose.” ‘The causes of those possible misunderstandings have been removed,” he added. He said he thought China was the “first stage,” the four-power Pacific treaty the "second stage,” and the any power shall become effective on receipt of notice thereof by the Government of the United State*.

FOURTH BALLOT TAKEN WITHOUT ELECTING POPE Puff of Black Smoke Informs Watchers Voting Is Not Ended. ROME. Feb. 4.—The fourth ballot for i new Pope to succeed the late Benedict XV was taken’ by the conclave of Cardiuats in the Vatican this morning without any candidate receiving the twothirds majority necessary to elect.' For the fourth time since Friday morning, black smoke, the signal Os no election, issued from the Sistine Chapel chimney. A small smoke cloud puffed from the chimney at 11:35 o’clock, announcing to the assembled watchers the Papal electors had not agreed upon a new occupant for the chair of St. Peter’s. Great crowds'tilled the roofs and windows of the buildings flanking SL Peter's square, awaiting the signal. It was generally believed the deadlock, which was known to exist in the Sacred College, might not bo broken until Sunday or Monday. Balloting will continue, if necessary. TWO BALLOTS TAKEN DAILY. The election will follow the usual pro- ’ cedure with two ballots taken daily, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. It was reported Friday four ballots would be taken, but this was untrue. It requires from two to more than three hours for a single ballot to be taken. If four were taken in a single day it would mean twelve hours of continued activity without time for food, meditation or religious devotions. ,If no Sovereign Pontiff is chosen by Monday morning, there still will be a chance for American participation. Cardinal O’Connell is due at Naples at daybreak Monday uttd he will hasten to Rome with all possible speed. Despite the fact-dhe election is already under way behind sealed walln, he will be admitted On account of the deep secrecy shrouding the election chamber, it was impossible to tell which way the election was going. It was apparent, however, the two strong factions in the sacred college—the reconciliationists and the nonreconctliatlonlsts —were making a stubborn fight. TJie reconciliationists, headed by Cardinal Gasparri, Tapal Secretary of State desire to carry out the policy of the late Pope Benedict XV for rapprochement between the Vatican and the Quirinal. The nonrecondliationists, led by Cardinal Merry Del Val, desire the Y’atlean to remain isolated from the Italian state, but an international institution in authority PATRICIANS AND PEASANTS AWAIT RESULT. The tense public interest in the election as shown by the character of th crowd which Oiled the piozzl of St. Peters. There were limousines, raonogrammed and upholstered, bearing Roman patricians. Close by huddled peasants who had driven into the city in rickety donkey carts. Civilians from every walk of life were in tho crowd while numerous priests pressed forward watching with eager eyes for the first chimney.
