The French. however, apparently are
intent upon forcing another conference
and the outlook was dark that the pres

limitation on auxiliary craft along with
the limitation already agreed upon with
regard 10 the big ships.
The attitude Of the other delegations

Is against tho postponement Of the sub

SEE OPEN SHOP
SCHEME IN ACT
OF OPERATORS
Southern Ohio Coal Exchange
Members Won't Meet
Union Head.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Dec. ga fore
runner OF what may be a Nation wide
plan TO force the open shop in coal mines
was seen here today in the act Of the
Southern Ohio Coal Exchange IN serving
notice on John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers Of America, that
Ohio operators would not meet him at
Pittsburgh, Jan. 6.
w. D. Mckinney, secretary Of the ex
change in writing Lewis, said when Il
came time to make a new wages agree
ment with miners they would deal di-
rectly with Ohio miucrs. instead OF
handling the matter through the central
competitive field as they have In the past.
The central competitive field represents
Ohio, West Virginia. Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana and Illinois fields and representa-
tlves Of miners and operators from these
districts have always met in joint ses-
sion and hxed wage and working agree
ments
The announcement Of the Ohio opera tors
that they were breaking from this pro-
gram and would abolish the check or
system came as a surprise

END REACHED IN
CHINESE AFFAIRS.

The belief is gaining ground among
the delegates mere that the conference
has gone about as far as it can go in
Chinese matters. The Chinese are in
sistent that the validity Of the twenty
one demands be considered but in this
the Chinese are believed doomed to dis
appointment. The japanese have all the
law on thir side Of this controversy.
China assented to the twenty -one de-
mands and the Japanese have treaties to
show for 1t, and that legally ends tho
matter. so far as Japan is concerned.
The conference can hardly do otherwise
than recognize this
As for Shantung, that is outside of
the conference for the present and pros
poets are favorable for an early settle
ment of the famous controversy. The
Japanese delegation has received a reply
from Toxic to its last inquiry and the
conversations hero will be renewed
shortly.
The tentative plan of the leaders is to
seal the Chinese decisions as regards
tariff. extra territoriality, postoffices
etc, by means of n nine powered treaty.
This treaty would also reaffrm the ad-
hesiOn Of the powers to the open door
policy and contain a pledge to respect
China's territorial and administrative
integrity

his name was one Wh1cn mace those
earliest inhabitants of Detroit flush with pride.
Even when his warning days were over ana ne hao
settled down on the river bank, his prestige was
such that people would step aside to let him pass
as he came striding down the roadway.
Claire had temperament not unlike her 1atn-
ers Their wrangles and their reconciliat1onS were
known all up and down the river. Yet they were
passionately attached to each other and devotedly
loved by the whole community. In particular was
the fair Claire loved by one Beauclerc, llthe'
dark young Frenchman who hunted more for the
sport Of the chase than for the profit Of his pocket
book at the fur trading post. When Sieur Beau
vais would see Philippe Beaucerc's tall, straight
figure at Claires elbow walking down Ste. Anne
street. now known as Jefferson avenue his brow
would darken threateningly. But he would find
himself commenting secretly, despite his anger
"Dieu, what a pair J" and he would add: "Mais
it isn't permitted for good French father to let
his daughter make fool of herself for penniless
hunter Just because he has the looks of young
god"
Then Claire would be hurried home. There was
no nlaman to quell the storm before it broke, for
Claire's mother had withstood the rigors Of the
Michigan winter for only three years. So the old
warrior and his gay young daughter would rage
at each other for fifteen minutes and then fall in
to each others arms Peace would be made. Claire
would 60 bahe her eyes, brush back the rebellious
gold of her hair and come back charmingly dutiful
to preside over the teacups and to welcome the
other young men who came during the course of
the evening to pay their respects to her In the
presence Of her sharp-eyed father-off1cers Of the
fort in their swagger uniforms, skilled trappers,
a tradesman or two and men who owned many
acres on which they raised Indian corn and wheat.
Among the latter group there called now and
