NTEGRITY OF CHINA PLEDGED Root Proposals Believed to be A Part of Hughes Program BtrXhUETxar INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICEl WA6HXKOTON, Nov. 22 Tne United States has already assumed the role of umpire In the sharp conflict of opinion between Japan and China as to the gen eral principles which are to govern the discussion of China's case at the Wash' lng-toa conference. This was learned authoritatively to day when the delegates of the nine powers assembled again behind closed doors to take up the Chinese question. The committee met at 11 a. m. In the Pan-American building. Xt developed today that the four "principles'' brought out by Elihu Soot and agreed to last night by the pow era represented a virtual compromise between the far-reaching "principles' proposed by China and the ultra-con serratlve "principles'' favored by Japan. (BT GEORGE R. HOLMES) f STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. Publicity again gave way to secrecy today as the "Big Nine" went back into the secret sessions behind the closed doors of the Fan-American building to consider the case of China. The immediate business in land was the discussion of the four general principles proposed by EUhu Root and accepted without reservation by all of the powers and the manner in which these principles are to be applied to existing Chinese problems. The principles pledge the powers 1) To respect the territorial and administrative integrity of China. (2) To give China full and unhampered opportunity to work out her own government. (3) To respect the open door and equal economic opportunity for all. and (4) To refrain from taking, advantage of present chaotic conditions in China to seek, special privileges. PRINCIPLES MUCH BROADER. The. four principles are considerably broader and more general than were the ten principles proposed by China herself last week and the Chinese accepted Root's program with some disappointment. They had been hopeful that the powers would accept China's own program for her rehabilitation, and some confusion exists in the minds of the Chinese delegates as to Just what Root's substitution means. They accepted, however, without protest. Acceptance of the Root principles, brings the statesmen squarely against the task of determining Just what constitutes the China of today. Rigid application of the third principle would deny, for instance, Japan's claims to "special interests" In Shantung, Manchuria and part of Mongolia, three "lost" provinces which Chinese came to Washington in frank hopes of get ting back. The third principle pledges the powers to use their Influence for the purpose of effectually establishing and ot maintaining the principle of equal opportunity for the commere and industry of all nations throughout the territory of China." BO TEARS AGO OR TOD AT The question that arises under the interpretation of this principle is whether the China of fifty years ago or the China of today is to be taken as a basis for consideration. The map of China has changed much In fifty years, as the powers kept "nibbling" at her territory through outright annexation and the less bold, but equally effaciclous method of "sphere of Influence." There is reason to believe that the Root proposals are a part of the "Hughes program" for the settlement of Far Eastern matters. Submission of China's own program last week, while done with the full knowledge and approval of the United States, did not materially Impress the other powers, notably Japan. Today the real work started on adjustment of China's intricate and complicated affairs, with the acceptance by the powers of the Root program as the foundation on which to build. Beyond the general statement that "progress is being made" there Is no indication that the opposition of Japan being relegated to a poor third in the naval strength of the world is in any way disappearing. fcODIE PREPARES FOR SANTA CLAUS Starting with the first "Do Tour Christmas Shopping Early" ad..

SORDID DETAILS OF

"FAT" ARBUCKLE CASE Girls on Stand Tells of Hap penings at Disgraceful "Picture" Orgy. BT FREDA BLUM J STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE SAN FKANC1SCO. Nov. 22. Zey Prevon-Prevost and Alice Blake, the two star witnesses for tie state in the Arbuckle manslaughter trial, will stand side by tide forever more in the memory of the Jury who heard their testimony yesterday. The five women Jurors will remember the two show girls in all their silken-feathered finery, their pale faces and frightened eyes. The men in the Jury box cannot help but remember them In all their trlmness of ankle, their shapely shou'iders and ivory throats. For all this was too well displayed, too obvious to let observation pass it by. Si true to type were both of them that they can be detailed to gether. Both had abandoned their make-u for the showing. Both have exquisite skin, like the complexion of white roses, in bud. They have large, dark, beautiful brown eyes and black hair. Their lips are full and red and sensual. The two were dressed in street suits and winter hats. Both carried large beauty boxes, obviously contain ing the mascara, paint nd powder. should it become vital to them aa a last minute impulse. Their skirts were, noticeably short. Zey Prevost displayed her well-formed ankles In a pair of dainty black satin slippers with sheer hosiery to match, while Alice Blake saw fit to set her costume off with grey suede oxfords and pearlpink stockings. Though the day was dreary and cold the two wore only the merest shadow of protection at the throat. This was, in both cases, but tne flimsiest of ecru lace vestees, pinned to the coat at a very low angle and disclosing the soft contours of neck and chest. Be it said of the women sitting In the Jury box that they look no cogniz ance of the smile with which the girl witnesses answered to this and that. After their first official appraisal the women Jurors centered their atten tions solely on the testimony. One woman Juror though, studied the girls intently from beneath her large red hat. She had the puzzled expression of doubt about her and openly showed it. The men were curious about the testimony, too. They were attentive and extremely watchful. But in more th- n appearance were ; the two witnesses 'sisters. Both were lied upon to give lurid. morbid testimony, which during the preliminary hearing they had been allowed to whisper to the Judge. When it came time for them to say the word, on which a court room hung, each In her turn cast an appealing glance all about the courtroom, sweeping the Judge, the spectators. counsel and finally the Jury. They forgot they were show girls who are supposed to laugh the while their hearts break. Like the gentle rainfall Just begin ning to come down from the clouded hea-ens outside, the natural modesty of all womanhood fell upon them suddenly. Each in her turn became ashamed. abashed. They wanted to cry. However, It finally came out, from both of them, the word that counsel nslsted upon. "I want to go home; I want to go home," moaned Zey when It was all over. "I want to go home to my mother." Even then the women of the Jury saw and heard It all, unmoved. But Just the same they are never going to forget the spectacle.

NO FIVE CERT FARE FOR LAKE CO. CITIES

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CHICAGO. Nov. 22. The Illinois Commerce Commission, It was expected today, will issue an order probably before Thanksgiving day, restoring the 5 cent far on surface line street cars in Chicago. The present surface line far is 8 cents. A decision of the United States Supreme court yesterday upholding the right of the Commerce Commission to fix fares will pave the way for the fare-reduction order. Hearings have been in progress for many weeks. Reduction of the fares, it Is expected, will be followed by an attempt on the part of the traction companies to cut wages of employes. Possibilities of a strike are seen In any move of this sort. It is estimated that $24.000,000 per year In revenue will be taken from the street car companies by the fare reduction. The fact that Chicago has been thrown into a state of expectancy by the announcement that Illinois Commerce Commission may within the next few days hand down a ruling re-I tt"s
