Peace Pact Similar 70
 ". J Bryar, Treaties

Washington, Dec. 12-The four power Pacific treaty Is in complete harmony with the spirit and purpose of famous arbitration treaties nego- ttated by William Jennings Bryan and ratified by the Senate when he was Secretary of War.
 This was the verdict today of Sen ator McCumber. of North Dakota. ranking Repu blican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and of other senators, Republican and Dem ocratic, who expressed approval of the interna tional agreement.
 Senator McCumber pointed out that the treaty, to all intents and purposes. is similar to the Bryan treaties which the United States already has with Great Britain, France and Japan. the three other high contracting parties to the new pact.
 Senator Hitchcock. or Nebraska, forrrAer chairman. and now ranking Democratic member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. was among the Senators of both parties returning for the reconvening of the Senate who gave the treaty their en- dorsem ents and predicted It's ratifica- tion by an overwhelming vote.
 ''The new treaty does not go as far as the Bryan treaties we already have with Great Britain. France and Ja- pan," Senator MeCumber said. 'tbut it has one advantage which they do not possess. While they merely pro- vide for separate arbitration agree Tnents between the United States and three other powers, the ne wtreaty provides that all four shall be parties to the agreement for the friendly ad-

New Clues In Radon Case May
 Solve Mystery

Coroner John J. Pheaan this morn ing announced a delay of 24 hours in the date of the conference to be held with the State Police and the Fair field auth ties. at which time 1t is believed the loose ends of the in vestigation into the mysterious death of Dr. Elizabeth l.. Radon, BOstWick avenue, will be sufficiently woven to- gether to make a final finding possi- ble,
 AS far as the authorities have ad- nlitted today. the only new evidence secured over the week end was the fact that Dr, Radon did go to Fair field early in the evening preceding the finding of her dead body. The trip was made by trolley. 4 wonl- an who knows her noted her on the car, missed her when Fairfield center was reached, and queried the eonduc- tor as to wfl ere she had alghted. He s reported to have told the woman that she left the car at the Fairfield town hall,
 This would seem to bear. out the theory that she, perhaps, spent some time on Fairfield beach, probably alone, breeding over her troubles, finally taking poison, and nearly reac ching the main highway again be- fore she was overcome from the eff fects of what sine had taken. believed to have been strong dose of cocafn, injected through a hypodermtc needle.

Clue Found
 In Death Of
 N. Y. Doctor

New York, Dec. 12-A worn scarf of dyed skunk and .32 calibre re- volver bearing the number 226; ;O49, are the only tangible clues police have today in their search for the slayer of pr. Abraham L. Glfckstein in his Brooklyn office Saturday night. The woman who did the shooting conceal ed the revolver in the scarf until she shot Dr. Glickstein, then dropped both to the floor, and calmly left the office. Three patients waiting in the ante room failed to notice her closely.
 Search for finger prints on the re- Volver has been futile, police say The weapon was handled by many other persons after 1t was found. The scarf is of the type that might have belonged to any number of women.
 Police believe that the shoting may have been the result of an old love affair, in spite of the fact that the doc tor was married and had three chill dren.
 Among those questioned by the po- lice about the murder was a nurse whom Dr. Glickstein who was doctor to draft board, had certified for over seas service during the war and from whom he would take no fee.

Siberian, Tap and Chi nese Questions Yet To Be Settled At Arms Conference.
(BY THE A. P.)

Washington, Dec. 12.-The begin ming of the second month of the in ternattonal conference on limitation of armament to give it the otfIc.al title, finds the conference so far ad- vanced toward achievement of its ttn- nounced oojectives that in practically every visiting delegation, discussion of homeward reservations has become a matter of immediate importance.
 Outstanding in any tabulation of ac- complishments is the four power agreement, reached in p1enary session Saturday. By this covenant the Unit ed States, Great Britain France and Japan agreed ''as between themselves to respect their rights in relation to their insular possessions and do- naintons in the region of the Pacific ocean" for the next ten years.
 To Abrogate Alliance
 Upon ratification of this agreement, the Anglo Japanese alliance, long re- garded with disquiet in the United States and several British dominions, will be abrogated.
 Limitation of naval armaments, the first subject on the conference agenda, remains practically in the status fin which it was found after Secretary Hughes had declared the American proposal for reduction of capital ships to a. 5-5-3 ratio basis between the United States, Great
 Great Britain and Japan both ac- cepted the proposal in principle i'm 1nediately, the former making reser- vations as to submarine tonnage ana regarding some details of the ten year naval construction holiday which was to ensue,. and Japan, filing demand for slightly larger proportionate ton mage Interwoven with the ensuing negotiations has been the question of Pacific naval bases and fornhcatlohs upon which no formal action mas ye' been taken but, 1t is understood Jepan has received assurances Of continuation of the status quo.
 Land Armanents.

Boston Women to
 Vote for Mayor

Boston, Dec. 12-The question of who will head the municipal govern ment for the first four years of Bos- tons second century as a city appear ed to political workers last night to resolve itself largely into the question of how the women will vote Tues day. It will be their first opportun- ity to cast their ballots for mayor.
 In the heated campaign the four candidates, John R. Murphy, James M Curiey, Charles s. O'Connor and Charles s. Baxter. have advanced many arguments directed toward gaining the support of the women voters. Baxter has been particularly active in thls respect, and last night Murphy supporters were speculating as to his probable success, feeling that he was more likely to draw strength from their candidate than from the other two.
 Baxter is the only Republican can didate but national politics are not recognized on the municipal ballot, which carries no party designations. He has appealed for Republican sup port and at @ rally last week Cover nor Allen of Kansas spoke in his be- half. Most of the Republican leaders, however, including Governor Cox, arc supporting Murphy.
 The real fight is conceded to be be- tween Murphy and Curlev.
