Protest Lagging Policy
BY PHILIP KINSLEY.
hicago Tribune Omaha bee Leased Wire.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Temporary
settlement of Pacific and lar eastern
problems may have TO be reached at
this conference without China's
consent on major issues and in the
face OF its vigorous protest.
New ruction in the China camp is
threatened over the attempt being
made by DR.. Wang Chung-Hui,
chief justice OF the Chinese supreme
court and one of the three delegates,
to withdraw from his position as
delegate. He has not formally re-
signed, but is in communication with
his government on the subject. He
is thoroughly dissatisfied over the
negative results" reached for China
in the conference, especially in the
Shantung. case. A mass of protests
from Chinese here and abroad is
coming to the delegates over the
tagging policy in reaching the SUBJ
jects vital TO China.
Their demands will not be granted
in full and in order to placate Chi
nese opinion the delegates may have
to protest. This would break up Mr..
Hughes plan for peaceful settlement
and every effort is being made to
avoid rupture.
Settle Wireless Issue.
Satisfactory settlement was reached
today over the wireless situation in
China and the powers agreed to re-
spect China's neutrality in future
wars to which it is not a party.
DR.. Wellington Koo made state
ment taking exception to the Japan
ese and English views about the ne
cessity of Japan and England re-
naming in Manchuria and Kowloon,
respectively. He pointed out that the
method of Japan in obtaining extern
sion of Port Arthur and Dalny
leases was one of the grave out
standing questions. He said that
Manchuria was more vital to China
than to Japan, serving as an outlet
for Chna's population.
DR.. Koo referred to the recent
statement of M. Hanihara that the
international consortium has recog-
nized specifically Japan's special i'll.
terest in Manchuria. He doubted it
it we're true and said that at least
such recognition did not agree with
the principles adopted by the con-
ference.
Manchuria Not Mentioned.
Mr.. Hughes said that he assumed
that neither side wished to read any,
thing into the constortium that was
not plainly stated in the correspond
ence made public. In that corre-
spondence, he said, there was state
ment that the consortium would un-
ertake nothing hostile to the vital
interests of Japan. There was moth
ing further. Manchuria was not men
toned
WI Ting Fang, foreign minister
for the southern republic of China,
not recognized here, has come for
ward with complete program for
the conference handling OF the
Chinese question
He would settle the Shantung qucs-
ton in terms of the cancellation of
the Chino Japanese treaty relating to
Shantung and notes relating thereto
and the recognition of the validity
of the abrogation of the Kiaochow
convention on China's declaration of
war against Germany. He would set
tie the Manchurian and Mongolian
questions in terms of cancellation of
the Chino Japanese treaty relating to
south Manchuria and eastern inner
Mongolia.

Dublin Quiet.
Dublin, Dec. 7.-(By A. P,)-Thc
most noteworthy TACT with regard
TO the reception OF the news OF the
Irish settlement here has been the
total absence OF any sort OF popular
demonstration or outward expression
OF satisfaction; not single flag has
beeu flown nor any other symbol OF
rejoicing displayed to signalize what
is generally regarded as the greatest
political event affecting Irish history
in 700 years.
Dublin has been about It's usual
business throughout the day almost
as if unconcerned. Many observers
attribute this outward calm to the
belief that the people were stunned
with astonishment, for the news OF
the agreement came everywhere with
entire surprise.
When late yesterday evening the
terms began to circulate, through re-
ports of Lord Birkenhead's speech,
the papers were eagerly bought and
ardent discussions followed.
Many admitted that the terms
were more generous than expected;
others remarked with dissatisfaction
that the republic had not been recog-
nized. 1t is too early to indicate
general public opinion, but at present
there is nothing to show that ratifi-
cation will be opposed. In the
meantime the city is outwardly with
out excitement, and men went to
their homes as if no such thing as

be in sounder financial condition"
In bis speech, Fellow Farmers,

Arrest Pending Payment of
Fine, State Depart
men. Informed.

ashington, Dec. 7.-The Ameri-
can fishing boat Mabel of Los An
geles was seized early this week
about five miles off the Mexican
coast by a vessel of the Mexican pa
troll and another of American regis
try but manned by Mexican soldiers,
the State department was advised
today by American Consul Burdette
at Ensenada, Mex.
The Mabel was subsequently re-
leased after fine had been paid. the
amount of which is not known. Con-
sui Burdette added that three OF the
crew had been held by Mcxicans
pending payment of an additional
fine. The State department an
nounced that it had made representa-
tions to the Obregon government al
Mexico City.
The Olga D. the vessel OF Amer
ican registry, the message said, fired
with machine guns on the Mabel be-
fore it was seized and the crew were
then roughly treated and robbed by
the men of the Olga D and the Te-
cate of the Mexican patrol. The
Americans were charged with carry
ing contraband arms and munitions
although this was later changed to a
charge of illegal fishing. ..
The cargo of the Mabel, it is said
consisted OF fresh iced fish valued at
$1,000 and according to telegram
from Captain Jacob Berntsen to the
owners, was bound for San Pedro
Cal.
Not Informed of Release.
Los Angeles, Dec. 7.-The Ameri-
can fishing boat Mabel seized off tie
coast of Lower California last Sun
day by the Mexican gunboat Tc-
cate, has not been released, accord
ing to the best information available
at the port here today. The Mabel
went into Mexican waters with usual
United States clearance papers,
which, according to Captain Petricf
of another fishing boat, who reported
the incident here, were declined rec
ognition by the gunboat crew. 1t
was understood that the action OF the
Mexican gunboat was based on the
failure OF the American fishing boat
TO get fishing permit from the
Mexican government before operat-
ing in Mexican waters.
Nothing was heard here today
from the eight members OF the crew
of the Mabel, who were held under
arrest when the vessel was seized.

Another feature OF the double session
which parents and principals deplore
Is that frequently the pupils do not
have proper study rooms. In the never
buildings the auditoriums are well
lighted and often do not depend upon
artificial light. Parents note that
where artificial light is used. and par
ticularly where the child has study
periods late in the winter afternoon,
there is sometimes a complaint about
eyestrain.
The normal school session is from
9 A. NJ. until p. NJ. The double ses-
sion starts one hour earlier and con-
tinues almost two hours later. Where
there are triple sessions these hours
are extended and the quadruple session
takes up an extra day. Often pupils

do not get home in time to eat dinner

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA demand that
the Republican majority in the Senate
investigate increases made recently In
the salaries of officials and others in the
New York Federal Reserve Bank was
made to-day by Senator Heflin, Demo-
crat (Ala.).
Reading from a list showing that
s1.SOO, s2.40o and $1,000 year salaries
had been raised to $4,000. $4,000 and
5000. Senator Hefiin told the Senate
1t was an Outrage" that there should be
such a digging into the funds of the
people when a great army of unem-
ployed marched through the land"
Senator Fletcher. Democrat (Fla.).
interrupted to call attention to salaries
paid by the Shipping Board. He said
there was a $150.000 a year board Of
operations to tell an $4,000 year
shipping board how to operate the Gov
ernment merchant fleet. that there were
experts at high salaries to tell other ex-
perts what to do and that there were
high paid lawyers to tell other high paid
lawyers how to interpret the law
Senator Mcclellan. Democrat (Tenn.).
told the Senate that he had received
recently request from business man
in his State as to the possibility of
chartering a shipping board vessel to
carry cargo of freight from Texas
to United Kingdom ports and had re-
ferred the request to J. B. Small. a
$4,000 a year director of operations.
He had been told. he said, that the
inquirer should charter British ship
rather than an American vessel, be-
cause the British steamer would give
a lower freight rate.
| Resuming his address. Senator Hef-
| lin launched into a vigorous attack on
| the Republicans. asserting that not one
| Of them had protested against or de-
manded an investigation OF the in
crease in the salaries In the New YORK
! Federal Reserve Bank.
| Senator Smoot. Republican (Utah),
replied that Senators could not be heio
responsible for the increases and that
there was no law governing the situa-
ton. He added that he had called the
matter to the attention of the Federal
Reserve Board and that undoubtedly an
inquiry was being made.
Declaring that the Senate would heai
more on this and other subjects later
the Alabama Senator went on with his
attack, charging that Wall Street was
the devilish source from which came
Republican campaign funds" and that
money flowed like rivers" in the recent
Senatorial election in New Mexico.
The speaker also charged that seat
in the Senate had been sold on the
auction block in Michigan"
II have not time to discuss that case
low" he said, but go read the testi-
n.ony and see If seats in this body can
not be bartered.
