TAKING GCHANCES
AUSESACC|DENTS'
Police Official Urges Observ.
ance of Signals and Regu-
Iations as Preventive.
FOR "sToP, LOOK, LIsTEN''

observance of traffic signals and
attention to the regulations providing
right of way on the streets are neces-
sary to prevent accidents" observed 8
police official today.
Daily reports of accidents received
at police headquarters, 1t is stated
indicate many failures to observe the
regulations covering the two i'm.
portant subjects, and. after all, Maj
Pullman stated, it is the man who
takes the chances that figures in ac-
cidents. Some are fortunate enough
to get off with a slight injury or
damage to their vehicles, while others
pay the penalty of death.
The man who stops, looks and lis
tens according to the superintendent
Of police, 'is the one who does not be-
come involved in accidents
Regulations as to Traffic.
Five sections of the police regula-
tions deal with the question of right
of way. They are as follows:
AN ambulance, police. fire. water
department and traffic emergency ve-
hlcle shall have the right of way,
A vehicle on the track in front of
a street car shall Immediately turn
out on signal.
"A vehicle moving north or south
shall have the right of way over one
moving east or west.
A vehicle on the approach of fire
apparatus shall immediately draw
near to and parallel with the curb and
stop.
"A street car on the approach of
fire apparatus shall stop so as not to
interfere with its passage"
Maj. Pullman thinks observance of
the foregoing regulations would be
the means of preventing many acct
dents. and should the speed maniac
not appear traffic comlitions would be
much more safe

CabIegrnm to The Evening Star and

PARIS, January 24-Five of the
points regarding the league of nA-
tions, considered as having been
agreed upon, are:
1. The present group of allied nations
accredited to the conference will form
the basis of the membership.
2. The enemy states will be admitted
ultimately. but only after they have met
the allies demands for Just reparations.
3. Various permanent Commissions will
be appointed
4. The undevelope6 regions of the
world will be given into the trustees
ship of various greater nations for
administration under the surveillance
of the league of nations.
Will Limit Armaments.
S. There will be some plan for the
limitation of armaments under inter-
national surveillance and the inflic-
tion of economic or. if necessary,
military penalties on the nations in
fringing on the leagues decisions.
Every one realizes that the practical
application of these principles pre-
sents many difficulties. What the
conference desires is to make it clear
to the world that the allies are de-
termined to have a league despite
difficulties, and then. having placed
this determination above all doubt, It
desires to proceed toward the achieve
ment of its great aim with the utmost
caution and sureness.

Replying to Representative Dillon of
South Dakota, Mr.. Swift said the ma
turing dates of cattle mortgages held
by banks in which the packers We're
interested were fixed by the borrower
for the time when he expected the ami
mails to be ready for market.
He declared that control of the cat
tie remained with the owner, and that
If the banks attempted to dictate the
time or place of sale the owner could
transfer his loan to other banks. The
packers, he said. gave little attention
to their market papers or their poll
cies.
In response to further questions Mr.
Swift said his company became inter-
ested in real estate development
projects through the establishment of
new plants, such as at ST. Paul,
where it was necessary to provide
houses to obtain employees. He said
although the Swift brothers did not
own majority of the real estate
firms stock they had been retained
in control by the stockholders, many
of whom were friends Of long stand

The bill before the committee to

posed by Mr.. Swift as class legislation
and certain to be hurtful to the gen
eral public by Gripping the industry.

full access to the packers books. was
advocated by him as less danger
Gus" method of procedure.
The primary desire of Swift & Co.
was declared to be- efficient service
in the stockyards, and readiness was
expressed to sell the firms interests
in various yards if present standards
of operation could be maintained.
Charges of collusion by the Federal
Trade Commission were denied by Mr..
Swift. He said that there were cases
in which his firm had co-operated
with other packers in the joint own
ership of general facilities, where
such facilities did nos exist or were
imperfect, and that the corporation
in no way extended to the control of
prices or shipments.

mite resolution and of primary impor-

Some of the allied statesmen have

There has been the frankest in
terchange of views during the last
fortnight, Mr.. Wilson examining Gen.
SHUTS plan and Gen. Smuts and Lord
Robert Cecil receiving copy of Mr..
wilson's plan. There has also been
a free exchange of opinions over the
form offered by NJ. Leon. Bourgeois.
Each of the delegates withheld the
details of his plan in an effort to
reach common agreement and more
easily avoid difficulties over the pride
of authorship and national sensitive
ness.
The fact that the British prime
minister is to present the plan will
undoubtedly weigh heavily in Ameri-
can public opinion. Similarly. the
adherence of Premier Clemenceau will
admittedly be convincing to America.
On the other hand. il proposed as
Mr.. Wilson's plan, political parties in
the United States might divide, ac-

their ideas. But Mr.. Wilson's sup

British liberals believe he represents

Intervention in Russia and the substi-

strongly supported by his colleagues.
Mr.. Wilson's proposal embodies

await the response from Russian boil

PERFECT IMAGE OF HIMSELF
1 japanese Wood Worker Credited With
Production Of Really Marvellous
ss5 Work Of Art.

The most marvellous wood workman
In the world Is Hananuma Masakichi,
of Toxic, Japan, who has carved fig
ure in wood so like himself that when
the two are placed side by side it is
said to be almost impossible to tell
which lives and breathes and which
does not. BY several connoisseurs in
art this wooden figure has been pro-
nounced the most perfect and: human
image Of man ever made. Aiasalic CHI
has faithfully reproduced every scar,
vein and wrinkle to be seen on his
body. The figure is composed Of
1000 pieces OF wood doyetailed and
jointed with such skill that no seams
can be detected.
Tiny holes were drilled for the re-
ception Of hairs, and the wooden fig
2ure has glass eyes and eyelashes in
which no dissimilarity to Masakichi's
own can be detected. 4
The Japanese artist posed between
two mirrors while modelling this fig
ure and for some time after its conn-
pletion he posed frequently beside It,
to the confusion Of spectators, who
were often entirely at a loss as to
which was the artist. The figure
stands with little mask in one hand
and an instrument for carving in the
other: the lifelike eyes are apparent
u gazing at the mask, and the face
wears q look Of intense absorption.

,, Makes His Getaway

Denison was visited by bad check
man on Saturday last, and efforts
thus far have failed in locating the
artist. The checks were drawn on
the Farmers State bank. and passed
through the usual clearing channels.
The name forged was that of Gus
Carlson, the blacksmith. Thus far
three of the checks have turned up.
each one made out for $500. They
were given at various stores in the
city and were not cleared until late
Saturday evening or Monday morn
ing. Mrs. Carlson has been in the
habit of writing all the checks for
her husband, signing his name and
also her own, and how the check ar
tist secured her signature is still a
mystery. She had not written any
checks on Saturday, and it is thought
an old check had in some manner
dropped into the hands of the stran-
ger. The checks used were checks
from the Farmers State bank and
the detection was made because of
the fact that Mr.. Carlson, did. not
bank with that institution. The sher-
If was at once notified and. while
he has not at this hour succeeded in
locating the man, he has hopes of
capturing him in a day or so, as he
has a pretty fair lineup on the fellow
