ISSUES CREA TED BY PROPOSED
CONFERENCE ON DLSARMA MENT'
One Group Fears That Confer

By the Anglo-Saxons.
OTHERS DEMAND THAT
JAPAN ENTER CONFAB
Both Sides Agree That Japan Is
Facing a Crisis Which
Requires Tact.
(ey The Associated Press,

TOXIC, July 17.-Japan today
seems an empire divided on the great
issues created by the summons of
President Harding to a conference on
disarmament and far eastern prob
lens. On one side, largely in the
ranks of the bureaucrats, there are

On the other side is a powerful lib
eral group, which demands that Japan
enter into the deliberations fearlessly,
submitting her wants resolutely COM
batting for them with confidence and
not opposing just claims. Haggling
and pickering, they insist, will ruin
the cause of Japan.
Both camps agree that Japan is
facing K crisis, requiring tact and
largeness of vision. Many members of
the privy council, according to the
well-informed newspaper Chugai
Shogyo Shimpo are pessimistic about
the conference; they contend that the
proposal to discuss problems and pol
icies of the Far East indicates co-opu-
GRAFTON between the United States and
Great Britain in an attempt to settle
international questions favorably for
them, an indication of which was 10
be seen in the attitude of the English
toward the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
The invitation to China to join in
the conference, it is further urged, is
additional evidence in support of the
theory of a secret purpose. on the part
of the Anglo Saxon nation in calling
the conference. They argue that China
doubtless will strive with the support
of England and America, for set
tlement of questions in her favor, re-
sulting in injury to Japanese interests

TRIAL OF BALL
PLAYERS TODAY
First Inning of Play in Judge

defense in the case of the men al
legged to have formed a conspiracy for
Chicago White Sox players to deIib-
erately permit Cincinnati to win the
1919 world series tonight were ready
to go into the first inning of play
in Judge Hugo Friends court tomor-
row when the trial proper will start
after two weeks of preliminary warm
ing UP, most of which was occupied
in selecting a jury.
Indications are that the case may
develop into a battle of legal entan-
clements which will leave the jury de-
Gliding not whether there actually was
a conspiracy for the series to be
thrown, but merely whether such
conspiracy was against Illinois law.
The defense tonight was ready to sub
nit a dozen motions tomorrow each
of which probably will further entan-
gle the legal aspects of the trial
The defense suffered a slight set
back today when it's attorneys tried
to interview Bill Burns, the alleged
accomplice of the defendants, and Joe
Gedeon, former st. Louis player, who
was Internationally released after the
grand jury investigation last fall, al
though he was not indicted,
All of the defense attorneys met
with the states attorney to interview
the two men, permission for the in
terview having been granted by Judge
Friend, but they learned nothing. 4
Il do not care to discuss the case
at ALL" Burns replied to every ques-
ton.
II have nothing to say" was Ged-
cons site reply. both men having been
instructed by the state to give these
answers.
The defense tomorrow will request
an order from Judge Friend that +he
men be forced to talk on the ground
that it is against the law to surprise
a defendant and that unless Burns and
Gedeon tell what their testimony will
be the defendants may be surprised.
The defense also plans to ask Judge
Friend to order Burns arrested, he be-
ing under indictment although never
apprehended, due, it is said,
to his agreement to turn states evil

IRELAND ENJOYS
QUIET WEEK END
| Republican Leader and Prime
Minister to Resume Dis
cussiOns Today.
fRy nae ASSOCIATED Press.l

LONDON, July 17.-The discussions
between Premier Lloyd George and
Eamonn De Valera with the object of
finding a basis for a general confer
ence on the Irish situation will be re-
sumed tomorrow. 1t is probable also
that Sir James Craig, the Ulster Pre-
mier will confer with the prime min
lister. But whether Mr.. lloyd George,
Mr.. De Valera and Sir James Craig
will meet for a general exchange of
views, is not known. A spokesman
of the Sim Fein has said that this is
not possible, as the head of the Ulster
government is considered by De Valera
as outside the pale of the present
negotiations, so far as the representa-
tives of southern Ireland are con-
cerned.
This has been the quietest week lend
in Irish history since 1919 when the
EXTREMIST Sin Fein campaign began.
There was no hint of disorder even
in Belfast, where, according to The As
ISOLATED Press correspondent, Colonel
Duffy, republican liason officer for
Ulster, has put a stop to Sim Fein
activities. Troops, however, are still
patrolling the streets and the police
are carrying revolvers.
The prime minister spent Sunday
at his country residence, Chequera
Court, where it is presumed he was
in consultation with members of his
cabinet and other advisers. The Irish
republican leader, who had q compara-
tive day of rest, issued a new mani
festo, insisting upon adherence to self
determination. In his declaration, he
says:
'T have made no demand but one
the only one I am entitled to make;
that is the self determination of the
Irish nation shall be recognized
De Valera has already said that as
he had received mandate for a re-
public from the Irish people he could
not withdraw from that position un-
less so instructed by the people them
selves. 1t is considered possible that
he may receive the government pro-
posals, modified by his own views,
on their submission later
to the Irish people for their decision

FOUR NEGROES ARE
KILLED In BATTLE.
Result of Attempt of Deputy
Sheriffs to Arrest Two
Negro Woven.
(Ry The Associated Press,

MONROE, La, July Flour ne
groes We're killed and Monroe Fergu-
son, business man, was seriously
wounded in a forty minute battle near
Rayville, La, resulting from an at
tempt of deputy sheriffs to arrest two
negro women charged with beating a
number of small white boys they found
in swimming.
Tho scene of the clash was the
plantation of William Gaines, three
miles north of Rayville. A desperate
battle took place there late yesterday,
hundreds of shoots being fired. The
dead are Cleo Colqus, Charles Kelley
Scott BelIfeld and William Gibbs.
Friday a group of white lads found
a swimming hole and went to it. The
negro women are said to have re-
preached them for their lack of cloth
ing, the boys retorted and trouble fol-
lowed Several of the boys are said
to have exhibited to their parents blue
and white marks about their necks
where they had been choked.
Yesterday morning deputies were
sent by the Richland parish sheriff to
arrest the women. Some hours later
they returned and reported they had
been met by threats of death If they
prosecuted their quest. They added
that the women, abetted by number
of negro men had gone to the George
Collins farm on the Gaines plantation
and had Fortified themselves there.
A posse of twenty-five was formed.
As the citizens, some of whom are
said to have been prominent merchants
and business men of Rayville, ap-I
preached the farm, a volley Of rife
shots greeted them and a furious ex-
change followed. The negroes were
supplied with large quantity Of am
munition.
A bullet pierced the thigh Of Mr.
Ferguson, the only white man that was
wounded.

OF TAR
AND FEATHERS
FOR MINISTER
Waylaid by Masked Men in Mi
ami, Taken to the Woods
and SOundly Thrashed.
Assailants Claimed He Taught
Social Equality to His
Negro Pensioners.
(ey Tho Associated Press.>

MIAMI, Eight masked men way
layed Rev. Philip S. Irwin, archdeacon
Of the English Episcopal church and
head of the work of that church among
South Florida negroes, at the close OF
his evening services tonight and ap-
plied a coat of tar and feathers to
him. He was then placed in sack
and taken in an automobile to a spot
near the business center of this city
and dumped on the street from the
car. Certain doctrines of Archdeacon
Irwin said to have been Objectionable
to white residents, are believed TO
have been the reason for the deed.
His assailants have not as yet been
apprehended.
Before being tarred and feathered,
Irwin was carried into some woods
near Miami, where he was stripped,
tied to a tree and whipped. The group
of masked men outlined their pro-
gram to him before it was executed
and then gave him 48 hours in which
to leave Miami.
According to the story related by
Irwin at police headquarters he was
just driving into his own yard when
two ears drove up in front of his,
home. A man stepped out of one car
and asked for the loan of a wrench.
Irwin supplied the tool and carried it
to the car, when four masked men
stepped out of each machine and
seized him, affixing a pair of hand
cuffs to his wrists. A mask was placed
over his face and the two cars drove
to a piece of woods where the whip
ping was staged.
''They told me that unless 1 left
Miami within As hours that they
would lynch me-" said Irwin. "They
tied me to either a tree or log after
stripping me and applied a strap to
my naked body about forty times. The
men then poured tar over me and ap-
Piled feathers to the tar.

FINAL VOTE ON
FORDNEY TARIFF
BILL THURSDAY
Duty on Oil Paragraph To Be
Considered by the House
First of All.
Democrats Claim Joker Lies
Back of the Proposed Duty
on Cotton Section.
lsy The AasoeIated lsresa.l

WASHINGTON, July 17.-After a
Sundays rest, the house will enter to-
morrow the last week of consideration
of the Fordney tariff bill with what
has come to be regarded as the most
highly controversial of all paragraphs
in the measure-the duty on oil
staring it in the face. Under the rules
governing consideration of the tariff
bill, a final vote is due late Thursday.
In the meantime, however, the house
has to dispose of the oil question, and
take separate votes on raw cotton and
asphalt.
Whether cotton should be trans
ferred to the dutiable list presents an
other problem likely to bring a stormy
session, and leaders said it probably
would be repetition Of the fight for
the duty on hides.
Members of the house from the cot
ton growing states announced after
informal conferences today that al
most a solid party vote would be cast
against the republican amendment to
the Fordney tariff bill providing a
duty of 10 per cent advalorem on raw
cotton.
Outlining the position of the mi
nority, Representative Garrett, of
Tennessee, acting democratic leader,
declared the 'iniquity of the proposal"
was glaringly apparent, in view of the
statement of Representative Green, of
Iowa, ranking republican member of
the ways and means committee, that
it would not increase the price paid
the farmer for his products. Mr.. Gar
rett added that "the only excuse for
the tax was to enable republicans to
increase the duty on cotton goods"
Amidst so many jokers in the
bill" said Mr.. Garrett in a
statement, "it is well nigh impossible
to say which is the superlative one,
but certainly the proposition to put a
duty on all raw cotton-when none is
imported and the treasury can de-
rive no duty thereby-is at least as
great as any.
'FTo bring it Immediately home te
the cotton farmer, a duty on raw
cotton will give nothing by way of in
crease in price, but it will be made

PERSHING'S POLICY
FOR ARMY SUCCESS
Points to the Opportunity for
BrOadened Public by
the Officers.
tRy The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, July 17.-GeneraI
Pershings policy for welding the reg
ular army, the national guard and the
organized reserves into one whole
ready to meet any emergency at any
time, was set forth today in a letter
written by him to corps area and de-
partmental commanders. The policy
will be sinaugurated Immediately by
the commanders in their respective
jurisdictions who are charged with
the detailed development of the ma
tional guard and organized reserves.
The new chief of staff pointed to
the opportunity for broadened public
service by officers for the country
through the medium of the new army
and urged that they give fullest CO.
operation to the national guard and re-
serve officers and men. He called
upon the regulars to avoid any feeling
of partisanship for their establishment
and take for their goal the success of
each component part of the army.
"All citizen soldiers who are free to
meet these special requirements i'm
posed on members of the national
guard should be encouraged to enter
that force" the letter said. "AIl young
men after their voluntary military
training in the reserve officers train
ing corps or training camps should be
encouraged to join a unit either of the
guard or the organized re-
serves. There should be no rivalry
between the two forces but rather an
of service between them.
In conclusion. it is my desire that
the officers detailed for service in the
organization and training of the na-
tional guard and the reserves should
be selected from the most efficient Of
ficers in our army. 1t is not sufficient
that this duty be assigned to an indl-
vidual at your headquarters t3 be per-
