Expresses Willingness to
Discuss Limitation of
Armament
NO REFERENCE TO
FAR EAST QUESTION
China Makes Unqualified Acceptance -
All Meetings of Conference to Be Held
In Washington Text of Japan's he-
pIy Not Given Out for Publication.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Japan's ac-
ceptance of President Harding's sugges-
tion for conference to discuss limitation
of armament was received at the state
department today, but made no reference
to the question of a discussion of the far
eastern question. Unqualified acceptance
by the Chinese government also was re
ceived
State department officials would make
no comment on the form of the japanese
reply. which was not made public in text.
Press dispatches indicating that some
British statesmen desired to have the
preliminaries of the conference held in
London were not taken seriously either
i'm British quarters here or by officials of
the administration. 1t was pointed out
that the British government ihad ac-
cepted definitely the Presidents proposal
for holding the meeting here and that
later qualification from London was
scarcely to be expected after the discus
sion had reached such a positive stage.
Among high American officials there
was manifest a strong sentiment that the
whole conference should be held here,
such a plan would make possible and be
both on account of the facility of business
cause of a feeling that America was en-
titled to be the host, since she had initiated
the movement an diSSued the invitations.
1T was apparent also that converting of
the meeting on American soil would be
reckoned here as giving the administration
an opportunity better to keep in touch
with the pulse of American public Opin-
ION and more easily to marshal public
sympathy for the efforts of the negotiators.
1t was indicated that so far no effort
had been made to determine which of the
two big subjects to be discussed, limita
tion of ornaments and the Pacific situa
tion, would be taken up first. 1t was
pointed out that the delegates might very
naturally find it advisable to arrive at an
agreement on the situations threatening
international friction before they turned
attention to armament reduction, but at
the same time it was emphasized that the
decision as to order of business and other
details must rest with the delegates them
selves.

OFFICERS SEIZE $4,000
GALLONS OF BOOZE
Brings Big Results-0nly Part
OF Liquor Secured.

BOSTON, July H.-Tacking a searcl
warrant to the foremast of the bark
Tiburton, in the absence of the captain
to receive it, prohibition enforcement
officers headed by Field Supervisor
John /. O'DonneIl last night raided the
vessel whose mission has been a mys
tery since her arrival here two weeks
ago, and seized the cargo, which officials
said consisted of 25O00 gallons OF alco-
hol valued at S275,99o.
The seizure is said to be the largest
made I'M New England since the advent
of prohibition. In raiding the vessel,
prohibition officials asserted their belief
that thev had unearthed a widespread
conspiracy to land spirits Illegally.
A warrant for the search of the Ii
burton was issued here late yesterday
bv United States Commissioner Hayes
and almost immediately a party of of
fcials left for the bark's anchorage.
Arriving on board, they were told that
the captain had not been aboard for
two davs and as there was no one to
accent the warrant, the inspecting party
tackled it to the mast and proceeded
with their search. They found $50
casks of 100 proof alcohol aboard. 1t
is possiblc. according to officials, that
; COO gallons have been illegally landed,
it was said, to make 60,00O GAL
Ions of liquor.
Where the missing alcohol has gone
is said to be a mystery, but officials eX-
pressed the opinion that it had been
svphoned out of the casks. Small
launches have in several Instances been
seen running alongside the Tiburton, it
was said

TO BE ENFORCED
Village Commissioners Not to Allow
Cars to Stand Idle on North Side
of Elliot Street.

The regular monthly meeting of the viii
lags. commissioners was held last eve
ming in the Office of Commissioner Err
nest W. Gibson. and after the usual rou-
tine business had been gone over several
special matters were brought up for dis
cussion and settlement.
One special matter was complaint
brought for dumping refuse on the river
bank. This complaint was turned over
to DR. G. $. Leach for prosecution. 1t
was decided also to strictly enforce the
regulation that no cars shall park on
the north side of Elliot street, but it was
decided that this regulation in no way
could be construed TO prevent or hinder
the unloading of merchandise for the
stores there. Several other matters were
considered. but no decision made.

DOORN. July 14.-The former German
emperor is daily becoming more unpopu-
lar. He cannot show himself in the roads
without being hOoted and ieered, whereas
few months ago he was regarded with
pity or Indifference. The principal reason
for this change is that he is ignoring the
repeated demands for payment of his
municipal taxes on the plea that his stay
here is involuntary, to which the munich
pality reports that it has not the slightest
objection to his departure.

that the city ordinances pertaining 10
'he water question were valid. and
rendered its decision accordingly. and
entirely in favor of Pleasant Grove.
There will still have to be one moro
court action, as the decision Of the
Supreme Court will have to be deliy-
cred to the lower court and they will
be compelled to render a decision
favorable to Pleasant Grove now that
the law has been interpreted for
them.
The case is important from several
points OF view. It terminates for the
city a struggle lasting over thirty
years. But more important than that
many cities which have been in the
same position as Pleasant Grove have
been anxiously waiting for this de-
uslon for they have problems iden-
ical with those OF Pleasant Grove over
irrigation water. Some of these cities
are Ogden, Provo. Nephi, Mt. Pleasant.
Springville. Payson Brigham, Cedar
City and others.
