In New jersey
By Dry Agent
Both Said To Be Dying From
Wounds Received in Fight
Following Liquor Raid
ON West Orange Store
Wholesale Murder Plot
Government Learns of Plan
to Shoot All Revenue
Men; l3 Already Killed

Green Miller, revenue agent from
the mountains of the South and right
hand man of E. c. Yellowley, head OF
all the prohibition agents for the
United States, came to prohibition
headquarters yesterday to report to
Prohibition Commissioner Roy A.
Haynes and Director Ralph 4. Day that
ne had shot two men in West Orange,
N. j., Thursday night. Both men are
dying from wounds received in a fight
following liquor raid.
Commissioner Haynes, who is here
for conferences, refused to be quoted
on the case. Information given out at
headquarters is that the government is
prepared to prove charge that
wholesale murder plot exists in New
Jersey with the objective of shooting
down every outsider who comes there
to curb the illicit liquor traffic. Com
missioner Haynes said that thirteen
agents already have been killed in New
Jersey in the discharge of their duties.
State Authorities Blamed
1t was said that the better element
of New Jersey citizens was co-operat-
ing in the enforcement of prohibition,
but that an underworld element had
been attracted by the liberal attitude
of the New Jersey state government
and that evidence had been furnished
by bankers ard others that plot ex-
listed to shoot the United States GOV
ernment agents of the state
Since Green Miller went to New Jer-
sey, and particularly during the last
three weeks, it is charged he has been
stalked constantly by gunner. He
was recently called to bank in New
Jersey city and there taken into a con-
ference where he was warned that
plans had been laid to murder him at
the first opportunity. He has been ac
companied at times by informers fur.

ations, who pointed out to him the men
who were stalking him.
Il do not want to talk about the
case" said Miller yesterday. at is a
terrible thing to have to shoot any one.
The prohibition departments version
Of the affair is that Miller with two
other agents went to the S. L. Dowd
grocery store, in West Orange There
they found a box of gin, which thew
seized. Three blocks from the store
they were surrounded by a dozen men.
among whom were Joseph Mcfarland
and William E. Stanton, who worked
for Dowd, it is charged

Committee, was another vigorous onno.
nent. Mr.. Fess told the House it was
establishing bad precedent, and said
adoption of the bill would open the wav
to flood of national charities to re-
lleve all starving peoples.
Still another Republican who de-
nounced the measure was Represents
tive Vaile, of Colorado, who said the
appropriation of the large sum was bad
policy, it only in that it provided for a
small fraction of the suffering in the
world. He declared the Federal char
lty should begin at home.
Representative Joseph Welsh of
Massachusetts,; William H. Stafford. of
Wisconsin, and Halvor Steenerson. of
Minnesota, were others who fought the
bill.
A number of amendments were ac-
cepted. The first to be adopted was
offered by House leader Mondell. It
provides that the President Shall re-
port to Congress not later than Deccm
ber 81, 1922, on the expenditures and
activities authorized by the bill.
Representative Scott, of Michigan,
was the author of a second amendment,
which was accepted. 1t specifies that
the supplies must be transported in
United States vessels or bottoms be-
longing to the Shipping Board. A
third, sponsored by Representative
Graham, of Illinois, provides that the
provisions must be purchased in the
United States.

Snag Develops
In Solution Of
Shantung Issue
Japanese Now Propose 20
Year Payment Plan for
Railroad and Ask Joint
Control for That Period
China Rejects Program
Hint Is Given That Attitude
of Toxic May Be Modi-
fled Before Conference
By Thomas Steep

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - 1rncx-
pected obstacles developed to-day in
the negotiations over the Shantung
controversy. The Japanese delegates
proposed to restore the Tsingtao -Tsi-
nan Railway on condition that China
reimburse Japan for the property in
payments extending over a period of
twenty years, and that in the ma,n
time the Toxic government retain mart
administrative control. The Chinese
oelegates hatly refused the offer. They
SAID they were prepared to nav cash.
but in order to hasten settlement
they would agree to divide the nav
mene into three annual ihstallments.
twenty years more of Japanese oc-
cupatloH OF Shantung never would he
tolerated by the Chinese people." said
Dr. Wang Chung Hui, chief Justice OF
the Chinese Supreme Court. "If we
accepted such a proposal our govern
ment would repudiate it. Is it not an
enigma tor the nations to wonder at
that Japan refuses to accept cash and
insists on long-term payment?"
SolicitOus Over Trade Relations
Masanao Hanihara. the Japanese
Vice Minister for Fore ign Affairs. eS-
pialned that Japan, since taking over
Shantung from Germany in 1914. had
established many intricate trade rela-
tions In the province which would suf-
fer serious dislocation if the Japanese
control of the railway were rclin-
quished suddenly.
Japan's insistence on lonc-term
settlement of the railway issue vas "a.
tributed to instructions received to-
day from Toxic, after it had been an
nounced officially yesterday that ten
tatlve agreement had been reached pro-
viding for turning over the property
within nine months. That the demand
for twenty year part joint Japanese
Chinese control may be greatly modi-
fed when the negotiations are resumed
on Monday was indicated by the Japan
ese delegates.
1t is understood that China's action
IN presenting the famous twenty-one
demands before the conference com !.
mittee on Pacific and Far Eastern oues-
tions last Wednesday, with the plea
that they be reviewed by all the pow
ers, had much to do with to-day's
development A settlement of the
Shantung question, it was said, might
be made contingent upon China's will
lingness to withdraw the twenty-onc
demands issue from the conference.

LONDON, Dee. II. - The
French demand for navy as big
as the japanese will result in the
scrapping of the entire Anglo
Japanese-American agreement if
the French don't modify their at
titude, in the opinion Of Vice
Admiral George Alexander Bal
lard, who during the war was
chief of the division of operations
IN the Admiralty Staff and later
commander of the feet off the
east coast of England.
Discussing the trend of naval
discussions in Washington. Ad-
miral Ballard to-day pointed out
that the French demand upset the
balance of the 5-5-3 ratio. IF
France held this position, Italy
would follow her example. Then
Great Britain would have to in
crease her fleet further and this
step would result in a renewal of
competition in building.

Termed Distinct Triumph

WASHINGTON, Dec. II (By The AS
sociated Press authorization bv the
Allied Council of Ambassadors for the
construction by Germany of Zeppe-
lin of the L-70 type for the United
States was regarded to-day in official
circles here as distinct triumph for
American diplomacy.
BY virtue Of that authorization Ger
many is permitted to go behind the
terms of the protocol signed in Paris
last June. which limited the size of
airships she might build to 10000 cubic
meters capacity. The airship which
Germany will build for the United
States is to be of 10000 cubic meters
among the Allied governments de-
clded opposition to establishing prece-
dent by permitting Germany to go be-
hind the terms of any treaty or en-
gagement.
The opposition of the European gov
ernments was overcome by repeated
representations by Ambassador Her
rick that this country would not use
the new airship for military purposes
and that America was entitled to COM
pensation in kind for the Zeppelin
awarded this government and later de-
stroycd by Germany. Those represen-
the signing of the protocol and we're
renewed until the Allied governments
were assured of the justice Of Ameri-
cas- claims and the good faith of the
United States government in engaging
that the new airship would not be used
for military purposes.
Under the decision of the Council of
Ambassadors, the text of which was
received from Ambassador Herrick at
the State Department to-day, Germany
will construct a Zeppelin of the L-70
type at the Friedcrichshafen hangar,
the only one in Germany large enough
to permit the building of an airship of
that size, and then will tear down the
hangar and disperse the mechanics
brought together to fabricate the air
monster.
Will Not Cost U. S. a Penny
The completed airship will be deliv-

Slab Of Sandstone Also Shows
Ripple Marks Made Millions

3 SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. Dec IT,
The department. of geology at Mount
Holyoke College, in replacing collec-
tions lost by fire. has obtained slab
of Connecticut Valley sandstone on
which are found fossilized mud cracks
and ripple marks of bygone ages, and
with them seven footprints made by
giant dinosaurs. The slab is an un-
usually good specimen, as both sides
have marks of geological interest. 1t

The ripple marks we're made in the
ooze millions of years ago, when the
region of the present Connecticut VAL
ley was a large river bottom, occasion
ally flooded. They are unusually dis
tinct.
The footprints show that at least
TWO dinosaurs, one a big one, the other
apparently its young, roamed over the
mud flats on their hind legs. The
larger tracks arc about inches long
and the indicated stride or feet.

small sentry boxes in front of the
White House for the comfort of the
two policemen stationed there at all

here Mrs. Harding observed that while
policemen in other sections of the

from the elements by sentry boxes,
nothing of the sort existed in front
of the Presidents dwelling.
An inquiry started by her revealed
that no boxes had been placed before
the White House. because it was felt
they might detract from. the beauty of
the structure. Mrs. Harding made
short work of such an objection. She
ordered that the sentry boxes be
placed at each end OF the executive
mansion without loss of time. 1t SO

Public Becoming Impatient

Special Cable Dispatch TO The Tribune

DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-THE persistent
delay of the Dali Eircann in voting on
the AngloIrish treaty has provoked a
storm of criticism in all parts Of Ire
land. Demands that the treaty be rati-
tied are pouring in on the Sim Fein
delegates. and their final closed ses-
sions to-day were filled with the spirit
of impatience that is sweeping the
country
Eamon De Valera has 50 clearly been
fighting losing battle that it was ap-
parent to-day that he and his followers
will make no filibuster Monday when
the treaty comes up for ratification in
open session, A vote is expected Tues
day night, and it will favor ratification.
If the margin is close, as seems un-
likely at this writing, a plebiscite will
be ordered.
After the balloting, it is rumored
again, Dc Valera and at least one of
his Cabinet members, probably Bur
several other party leaders are urging
De Valera to hold on to his place as
leader of the Sim Fein, but in political
circles there seems to be no doubt but
that his days are numbered. The vote
on the treaty can be taken on Monday
if all those who desire to speak can
be heard, but the expectation is that
this isn't possible.
Advice of Unionists Sought
If the Dali ratifies, the next step
will be the drafting of a constitution.
to help with which representatives Of
all shades of opinion will be called in.
The four Unionists who were elected
in the last campaign will take their
seats in the new Parliament - a step
indicative of the change of spirit that
is coming over south Ireland. Their
advice is even sought by some of the
members of the Dali Eireann.
The negotiations which must be car
rled on with Great Britain regarding
hscai affairs, navy, army and other ad-
mlnistrative questions, will be in the
hands of committee whose work will
be reviewed by the Dali Eireann.
