CGNFEREES AGREE
ON REVENUE BILL

The Senate and House conferees on
the $4,000. 900 900 revenue bill reached
an agreement yesterday. The bill, in
its final accepted form, was sent to
the printer and will be called up in
the House next Friday morning.
The terms Of the agreement were
ordered withheld from publication
until the revised copy Of the bill Is
ready for presentation to the House.
This order, was made because the
conferees feared that pressure might
be brought to bear to alter some Of
the provisions of the bill II they were
made known before either House
adopted them.
1t is known, however, that the Sen
ate conferees receded from their ad-
vocacy of the Thomas amendment,
levying a tax OF 100 per cent on all
campaign contributions in excess of
$500. This amendment was the sub
ject Of debate in the House yester-
day, when the House conferees took
the matter before the House and
asked for instructions as to how they
should vote upon it. The House ac-
cepted 1t with an amendment to re-
strict the tax to contributions that
might be made in the future. In this
form it was unacceptable to the Sen
ate and the conferees accordingly
withdrew their support Of IL.
The Trammel amendment to pay
each discharged soldier and sailor a
bonus Of one months pay was also a
subject of controversy between the
two sets of conferees. 1t was finally
amended to provide for the payment
to each enlisted man upon his dis
charge of $50, while officers are to
receive 5000.
The House accepted the child labor
amendment and the amendment plac-
ing the District of Columbia under
the Jurisdiction of the Reed bonei
dry law, which forbids the shipment
of intoxicants into dry territory.
The Senate receded from the
amendment to the second-class post
age rates and yielded to the House
provision, which re-enacts the pres
ent law.

Japanese aggressors in China and
those loyal Chinese who desire to see
their country self-governing may
have been a factor. That Japanese
agents may have wished the death OF
Dr., Wong, whose campaign for the
education and broadening of the
youth of his country the japanese
may have feared would ultimately en-
able the Chinese to throw off their
foreign yoke, is the possibility ad-
vanced by some. others are of the
opinion that DR.. Wong, on the other
hand, may have been secretly in ac-
s,rd with the Japanese plans and
that a lOyalist Chinese movement may
be responsible for his death.
May Have Been Wrong Man.
That the headquarters OF DR.. Theo.
uore Wong may have been mistaken
for those of a DR.. c. T. Wong, who
came to Washington recently to ex
press the peace aims OF China, is
held by some as highly probable
These emissaries came from the Can
ton government of North China
which Is now bitterly opposed to the
Pekin government OF South China.
They have made charges that other
nations were seeking to injure China
in the present peace negotiations in
Paris, and agents of the governments
accused are said to have gone to the
Chinese legation to express their pro-
tests against the activities of this
special mission. The heads OF both
missions had the same name, DR..
Wong, and 1t is not difficult
to believe that hired assassins
might have made a CHASTITY error IN
the persons Of the men to be killed.
A bulletin from San Francisco
quotes detectives who guarded DR..
Wong and his two student assistants
when they passed through tnat city
en- route to the East as attributinG
the murders of the three men to tn
Chinese Nationalist League, a revo-
lutionaFy organization. They de-
clare the triple murders here bear
a direct relation to the murder IN
Victoria, &. c., of Tang Fab Lung.
of education from the
Chinese government.
Ling was killed shortly before DR.
Wong arrived in this country, and
special guard was therefore given to
DR.. Wong and his assistants. Wong
was to have superintendcd the use OF
Of dollars for the education
OF young Chinese students in this
country. Members OF the Nationalist
League believe the money should be
spent to feed the needy in China To
direct the use Of the money to their
own idas would be their motive fo-
getting DR.. Wong out of the way, it
is said.

.SMOOT ASSAILS
WAR CLERKS PAY

Reasons why the Senate Appropris-
tions Committee, in reporting the
legislative bill, allowed a 1920 in
crease for the employees of the Bu-
reau Of War Risk Insurance and $24O
for employees Of the Government gen.
orally, are brought out in the hear
! ings before the subcommittee which
had charge of the bill.
Senator Smoot put into the record
figures to show that the employees Of
the War Risk Bureau were not en-
titled to as much additional as em-
ployes Of the departments generally
In order to equalize pay conditions.
In the hearing, Senator Smoot said:
The increases that have been
made in the salaries paid to employees
Of the Bureau Of War Risk Insurance
since last July. have amounted to
more than million dollars a year.
That is the increapS. .SThere is 81, ,3OO,-
600 of increase yet to be made in the
bureau under the classifications that
have already been made and the ad-
Vances that are to be allowed. The
recommendations already made, but
which have not yet been acted on by
the bureau, will bring this amount up
to $1,306,O00 for that bureau.
The entrance salaries in the be-
ginning were $1,000 for clerks and
typists, and 81 100 for stenographers,
and that was fixed by officers of the
Bureau OF War Risk Insurance last
spring. Then the War Department
came in and had the entrance salary
liked at S1,100 for typists and clerks
and $1,000 for stenographers, and i'm
mediately that was given to the War
Risk Insurance Bureau, and 1t applied
not to the statutory places in the
War Department, but only to those
who had been employed since the war
began. Immediately that was
brought up in the War Risk Insur-
nnce Bureau. and they were allowed
that, and II became effective on Au-
gusC 10. That was when it went in
to effect-last August. Then, shortly
after this, 4 third recommendation
was made, that any clerks and typists
who had been appointed by the bu-
reau at less than S1,1OO, or any ste
nographers who had been appointed at
less than 1920. and who were re-
ceiving less than those salaries,
should be promoted to those salaries.
This accommodation was also adopt
ed and Immediately went into effect,
and that one recommendation in that
department has cost the Government
over a million dollars.
What the committee desires is to
put that bureau on the same footing
as other divisions and departments
and bureaus Of our Government, and
that is what we are trying to get at"

WORLD LEAGUE PROGRAM
WILL BE PRESENTED FOR
ACCEPTANCE THIS WEEK

PARIS, Feb. 2.-PIans for the
league of nations are progressing so
rapidly that a definite outline will be
presented by the general peace con-
gress for ratification this week, it
was confidently predicted in official
circles today.
No plenary session was held yes
terday, owing to the peace bureaus
desire to concentrate on the league
Of nations. One OF the principal
reasons for the speeding-up process
was the impression left by the bitter
arguments over disposition of the
German colonies, which featured last
weeks sessions. The conferees want
to have the league start functioninE
as soon as possible, so that all such
problems can be handled directly un-
der its auspices.
Not only are the delegates devotinE
practically their entire time. to con-
sideration of the league programs-a
situation rendered possible by refer
ring individual problems to special
committees-butt they are calling in
TO consultation unofficial representa-
tives of various national organiza-
tions which have studied the league
principles.
Final Outline.
The final outline, according to
authoritative information, will thus
represent a composite reflection Of
the best ideas from all available
sources. No individual nation will
have any particular claim to author
ship. and when the program is sub
mitted to the plenary session, IL will

President Wilson, Colonel House
General SHUTS, and Lord Cecil went
over the plans until a late hour Fri
day night, revising several features,
adding others, and generally reshap-
ing them. Yesterday representatives
of American, British, French, and
Italian societies pledged to the broad
principles of the league presented
plans on which they had agreed dur
ing the week. Hamilton Holt repre-
sented the league to enforce peace,
and Senator Bourgeois appeared for
the French society
General Provisions.
The allied societies presented the
following general provisions for con-
sideration by the peace bureau:
The League of Free Peoples shall
organize for the following purposes,
and agree:
First, to submit all disputes among
themselves to methods Of peaceful
settlement.
Second, to prevent or suppress

sired such a course or not. There was
considerable speculation today as 10
whether Pichon's refusal to recognize
Vsonguet reflected the general attitude
Of his government.
Longuet, in the interests Of the
Bolsheviki, submitted a list OF cata-
gorical questions to PichOn for the
purpose of obtaining further inform
alton regarding the allies attitude
toward Russia. Pichon. in reply to
,Longuet's request for an answer that
could be 'relayed to Moscow, sent the
following note:
This sort Of communication Is re-
served unequivocally for the govern
ment. 1t is impossible to accede to
your request"
LOnEuet's Questions.
According to the Populaire, Pichon
also failed to reply TO Longuet's ques-
tions, which were:
"First-Are the allies disposed, as
a prelude to negotiations, to with
draw their troops Immediately from
Russia, lift the blockade, and cease
financial and other assistance to the
enemies OF the soviets?
''Second-Does the invitation to
FIiuhlpOS lnCluoe only luC 6EOupS
which are demanding autonomy. or
those fighting on purely political
grounds?
'Third-Will the Prinkipos con-
ference discuss the peace program
proposed in December by the soviets,
particularly the part referring to
CZarism's debt to the allies, fixation
OF frontiers, mining and other con-
cessionS, commercial agreements,
etc.?
"FouTth-Do the allies insist on
Prinkipos, or would they agree to
holding the conference in a neutral
country, for instance, Holland or
Scandinavian"
Communication Friendly.
Longuet promised to wireless Pi-
chon's answers as soon as they were
received. He pointed out that Szanoff.
Kolchak. and other representatives Of
factions had turned down
the associated powers invitation.
The whole tone Of Longuet's COM
munication was decidedly friendly.
He said he was deeply touched by
confidence in him. and
that he hoped the Bolsheviki would
be permitted to keep in touch with
the proceedings OF the international
labor and socialist congress in Berne.
