AGREEMENT ON
ISLAND OF YAP

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Ameri
can and Japanese governments have
composed their differences over the
Pacific island of zap and are prepar-
ing to sign a treaty by which Japan
retains administrative control over the
island and the United States secures
the cable and wireless privileges there
for which she has contended since the
Paris peace conference.
In the same treaty Japan's league
of nations mandate over zap and all
the other northern Pacific islands for
merly under German sovereignty is
given recognition by the United States
on certain stipulated conditions. These
conditions include provision for free
admission of missionaries and pro-
lection of American interests in the
inundated territory and require that
Japan shall report to the United
States as well as to the league of de-
tails of her administration of the man.

of the islands advantageous position
il the center of the Pacific group to
th" south of Japa, are accorded by
the treaty to the American and Japa-
nese governments and nationals alike
on terms of absolute equality. In the
exercise of these rights American na.
tions are to be free from taxes. Ii
cenSing, censorship and every form Of
discriminatory supervision, and in ad-
dition are to be aided by the Japanese
government in securing needed prop
crty and facilities.
The immediate value of the ar
rangement to the United States lies IN
the concessions with regard to cable
communication because they insure
complete American control of the cx-
ististing cable between zap and
Guam. Considerable Importance also
is attached by American officials to
the radio privileges although it is to
be agreed in the treaty that no Amer
lean station will lie installed so long
as the present Japanese plant is op-.
Grated without discriminatory exac-
| tions.
Signature of the convention is ex-
| pccted within a few days. Erasing
one of the principal causes for con-.
troversy between Washington and
Tokyo and bringing to an end negotia
tics which have covered period @of
several months.
Final instructions TO the Japanese
delegates to accept the latest Ameri-
can proposal for settlement are
understood to have been received from
the Tokyo foreign office last night.

CHANGES HANDS

Washington, Dec. ~ (By the, As
sociated Press).-New machinery TO
expedite final action on naval limita-
ton agreements was set up today by

ton of the American group the fo,
mer committee of experts W..
"scrapped" in favor of al "committe
of 49," including both plenary dele
gates and civil and navat-experts Of
the five powers. The whole subject

cornerstone 5-5-3 ratio was turned
over to the new committee to be put
in final shape for the cohferenc,.
Meanwhile it became known that
the Japanese delegation had received
instructions from Tokyo, regarding
the 5-5-3 ratio. The nature Of the
communication was not disclosed.
There were many indications, how
ever, that it marked long step to.
ward final acceptance Of this vital
point in the naval limitation project.
The Committee of Is" WAS describ-
ed by British SPOKESMAN as a
means to "short circuit''H delays un-
avoidable in the previou4 division of
labor between committeees of dele
gates and separate committees of ma

FORECAST FOR
COTTON CROP

Washington, Dec. 12.-Lack OF
travel funds prevented personal
checking of acreage planted and
forced acceptance of growers re-
ports of acreage reductions which
were biased by propaganda and gen
erally believed" the crop reporting
= board of the department of agricul-
ture declared in statement today
in announcing the final forecast fol
this years cotton crop of $4,000
bales, an increase of 100000 bales
over the last forecast. Favorable
weather conditions since the last con-
dition report on September 25 per-
mitted maturing of late cotton, the
board said, while reduction Of ferti-
lizer reported earlier in the season
was offset by residue remaining in the
ground from last year. Boil weevil and
other insect damage, the statement
said, was not so great as expected
and the hot dry weather of the early
fall hastened the maturity of the crop
and prevented much of the damage
which otherwise would have resulted.
Data on which the acreage in cult
<vation was estimated On June 25 was
correct, the statement declared, when
growers at the time, "but it now ap-
pears that tie data upon which the
estimate was based was misleading
the acreage was underestimated"
Reports from statisticians of the
department, who were able to travel
after July l, indicated that reports
of acreage reductions on June 25 Eek
aggerated the reduction in acreage"
the statement said, adding that "while
many growers actually reduced their
acreage, others took advantage Of the
propaganda sentiment and proceeded
to increase their own acreages."
"This is still the smallest crop
grown in the United States since
1885," the statement asserted.
The average weight per running
bale is estimated at 497.s pounds.
The price paid producers December
was 1872 cents per pound.
The estimated production by states
in equivalent 500 pound bales, is:
Virginia, 10000; North Carolina, SOO,-
900; South Carolina, 100000; Georgia
$4,000; Florida, $4,000; Alabama

YOUNG KILGO
KILLED IN WRECK

Newberry, Dec. IA deplorable
tragedy happened last night on the
Newberry-Whitmire highway, about
nine miles north of Newberry, when
Paul Kilgo of Laurens met with an
accident that resulted in his death
eight hours later. He and Earl Hearns
of Laurens had come down into New
berry county TO call on some young
women. Mr.. Hearns, the owner of the
car, stopped at Cal Bakers and Mr..
Kilgo started alone to Newberry. Will
liam E. Turner of Newberry and some
friends were driving along the road
a little later and found Mr. Kilgo
lying in the road unconscious and the
big car completely wrecked at the
side of the road, where it had turned
over apparently more than once
About that time two men, coming this
way in car, came up, and they
brought the injured man to Newberry
and placed him at the Newberry hotel,
and medical aid was Immediately sum-
moned The physicians found that
there was fracture of the skull on
the left side and severe bruises on the
face The young man died at 3 o'clock
this morning, never having regained
consciousness. His parents reached
his bedside before he died. The body
was taken through the country to
Laurens this morning and will be
buried there tomorrow.
Paul Kilgo was the son of the Rev.
Pierce F. Kilgo, pastor of the First
Methodist church of Laurens, and Is
years old. He was student in the
high school at Laurens. Besides his
parents, he is survived by three broth
ers-the Rev. P. R. Kilgo, Wallace
Kilgo of Charlotte, James Kilgo of
Laurens, and two sisters, Mrs. Paul
B. Smith of Lagrange, Ga, and Miss
Mary Kilgo, teacher in Greenville. His
uncles are Bishop John G.. Kilgo of
North Carolina and DR.. James w. Kill
go, pastor of Grace church, Union.
Nobody saw the accident, and it is
not known just how it occurred, but
the indications are that the young
man made too quick a turn of the
wheel at short curve in the road
and upset the car when it was going
at rapid rate of speed. He had not
driven this particular make of car be-
fore. He started off all right from
Mr.. Bakers, but had gone only about
three miles when the accident harmon
ed, about midway between the homes
of Mr.. Baker and John Felker.
The car belonged to Mr.. Solomons
of Laurens, stepfather of Mr.. Hearns,
and he had lent it to the young men.
