Cable Rights in
Pacific A ssured
U. S. by Agreements
international Communica-
tions Conference Likely to
Abolish Monopolies of I'm
dersea Wires World Over

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - General
agreements on questions at issue be-
fore the International Communications
Conference is expected by American
officials to be reached within a few
days.
The principles for which the Ameri-
can commissioners have contended, it
was said to-day, are expected to be
adopted by the conference. These prin-
ciples include the abolition Of cable
monopolies, which, in the case of the
east coast Of South America, has proved
particularly Objectionable to the Amer
lean government; the recognition of
equal landing rights in cables, and the
equitable distribution of the German
cables among the Allied and Associated
Powers
Establishment of the principle of
equal landing rights has been urged
by the American representatives in
order to safeguard American interests
in the island Of zap, the important
center of cable communication in the
Pacific. Recognition Of this principle
by Japan, the mandatory power over
zap, American officials declare, will
make it impossible for Japan to dis
criminate in favor of the Japanese and
against other nationals with respect to
the German cable entering the island.
Conventions covering the internationa,
use of radio, cables and telegraphs, have
been tentatively drawn up, but it is
understood that final decision has not
been made by the conference as to
whether the convention will be ap-
proved by the present preliminary con
ference or left to the general communi-
cation conference which will be called

Naval Academy and

Promise Obedience
Insurgents Give Pledge to
Obey Rules; Differences
Due to Efforts to Stop
Hazing Smoothed Over
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-At both the
Naval Academy and St. Johns College
strained conditions between the stu
dents and authorities arising from the
iatters determination to put an end to
hazing ended to-day with the students
agreeing not to antagonze the officials
and to obey the rules of the institu-
tions.
At the Naval Academy the members
OF the first class made a voluntary pledge
IN which they said they did not and
would not be in opposition to Rear
Admiral A. II. Scales, the superintend-
ent. At St. Johns practically the Whole
student body, which struck week ago
IN order to obtain changes in the man
agement of the college, returned to
their work, first signing an agreement
which pledged them to obey the rules.
Promptly after the. receipt of the
pledge of the first class men Admiral
Scales issued an order which returned
the routine of the academy to the nor
NAL. The members of the fourth class.
who have been segregated in one wing
of Bancroft Hall, viii be distributed
about the building as before and all
restrictive measures Will be abrogated.
The order goes into effect tomorrow
and upper class men Will get the
Thanksgiving liberty about which they
were so concerned.
Commenting on the class's action,
Admiral Scales said:
This is the action the superintend-
ent demanded of the first class before
he took the recent drastic steps to en-
force obedience to the law concerning
haZing. Failing to get this promise at
that time, he was forced to issue orders
fos reorganization of the regiment
and the segregation Of the fourth
class. AS this promise of the first
class offers the best means Of enforc-
ing the law, the orders referred to
have been rescinded and the regiment
returns to the organization that exist
ed prior to October 25.
THE above statement was signed by
the president of the first class and,
maintained by strong first class, un-
questionably viii bring about obedience
to the law concerning hazing and pre-
serve discipline at the Naval Academy

mystery of the death Of Frances AL
lingham. twenty-five years DID, whose
body was run over by trolley car Sat-
urday night. appeared to be nearing a

not settled The police tonight in
Wallingford arrested Henry Vannell

town They were brought here and
locked up at the direction of Coroner

The police say the two young men

Senator Mccormick who will sail on

did not charge directly that the ad-
vocates Of a League of Nations were
sctusted by sordid motives, but he said
that it would be in order for the books
70 be shown, so that people might
Judge for themselves.
After the Senator's visit to head
CHARTERS yesterday, where he saw
Chairman Hays, the gossip quickly
spread that Western Republicans are
sclidly opposed to ex-senator Root for
place in the Cabinet and that he
stood no chance of becoming Secretary
Of State; also that Chairman Will H.
Hays and A T. Hert, vice. chairman
Of the national committee, prominent
business man of Louisville and the
Republican leader Of that state, would
be in the Cabinet.

shall have accomplished all that is
