In connection with Limitation" and

Washington, Nov 4.-Simple
words do net always have simple
meanings. For instance. the official
title of the big conference is ''Limi-
tation of Armament" Popularity the
gathering has been enormously
called a "disarmame conference
What's the difference between dis
armament" and Limitation of ar
rnament?" President Harding and
his associates have declared they
do not believe in complete disarma-
ment-the scrapping of all armies
and naVies. They believe it i'm
pra ctieabIe. America would never
disarm alone Nor would the rest
of the world be likely to GO so.
AS we'll might cities agree to abol-
ish fire departments because the
number of fires were gradually be
ing diminished
Mr. Harding feels that a police
force is always necessary. In othe.
words if armament should be re
duced it should never pass below
the line of domestic safety. But
while disarmament isn't intended
it is also interesting to reveal the
fact that Limitation of armament
has a technical meaning in nava
parIance and so has reduction D

the same attitude as lawyers TOWARD

u. S. LOSES IN
SUIT AGAINST
PRICE FIXING
Judge Refuses to Dis
soIUe Linseed Oil
Mems Bureau.

Chicago, NOV. 4.-The govern
ment's suit for the dissolution Of
trade association involving 13
manufacturers of linseed oil was
dismissed in Judge George A Car
penter's federal court yesterday for
want of equity
The suit by the government was
to decide the question whether
trade associations may be formed
for the purpose of exchanging
price lists and was regarded as a
precedent. the ruling of which
would affect the standing of 5000
other such associations through
out the country. Suit was brought
as a part of the governments anti
trust prosecutions.
"COntrary to Law
Logic which assumed that be-
cause there is an opportunity to
fix prices, therefore prices are
fixed, is contrary to the genius and
logic of our law" the opinion of
Judge Carpenter said. Every man
is presumed to be innocent unless
, he is proved guilty. If the Arm
strong bureau is to be dissolved
merely because it afforded the
members an opportunity to fix
prices, then this court. with equal
! propriety. could be asked to dis
solve any lunch club where bust
ness men may meet This theory
hardly warrants discussion.
Companies Included
The manufacturers listed as de,
fendants:

Judge Carpenter stated the ques
ton involved in this case is Wheth
er there is anything inherent
wrong in an agreement betwee
: producers in certain line to fur
nish each other their prices an
, not to make any sale deviating froI
, the price list without immediatel

Business Not "A ''Game.7
Judge Carpenter also pointed ou
that business was no longer

Copyright, 1921, by the UMiea EEess
Washington, Nov. 4.-The Anglo
Japanese alliance should be re-
placed by a tripartite understand
ing" or agreement signed by the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan.
This view was put forward today
by Prince Tokugawa, president OF
the House of Peers of Japan, and
one of the chief japanese delegates
to the conference of limitation OF
armament and far eastern Ques-
tions, in an important and exclusive
interview with the United Press.
Prince Tokugawa, if it had not
been for the restoration" Of the
power OF the throne in Japan about
half a century ago, probably today
would be the ruling Shotgun of his
country.
Ought to "Shake Hands,
Asked whether Japan will be will
ing to abrogate the Anglo-JapaneSe
alliance, object of great opposition
in the United States, Prince Toku-
gawa replied:
Don't you think there could be
an understanding between Japan,
the United States and Great Bri-
tain? We three nations, ought to
shake hands and continue our re-
spectiye courses in a friendly way.
Personally, l am anxious that there
be arrived at such an understand
| ing between the three nations. Sucn
an understanding would go far
toward securing the peace OF the
world.
| "Your country may not be able
| to join in an alliance, but form does
/ not matter, so long as there can
be a friendly understanding among
/ the three powers"
First Voice From Japan.
So far as is known, this is tho
first public utterance of any lead
er Of the Japaneses government il
advocacy of tripartite agreement
to replace the Anglo-Japanese al
lance.
Japan, it is believed, realizes the
something must be done in th'
Washington conference to remov'
the menace of the alliance to th'
United States.
Prince Tokugawa was careful t.
emphasize that his statements wert
only expressions of his persona
lopinions But Tokugawa's word viii
carry great weight in Japan's par
in the conference and Throughout
his country.
He gave the distinct impression
Japan might propose the tripartit
| agreement.
| Asked about the supposed nee
of Japan to expand, Prince Tokug
ava declared:
Needs Economic Expansion.
"Our population is increasing. a
our population increases, it will b
necessary for US TO find somewher
in the world to expand don
wish to mention any particula
country. l do not mean by n.
territorial expansion, but only ecC
, nomic expansion

there was danger of war betwee

BEGIN FIGHT ON
BELL COMPANY
Rate Question May be
Tdker, to Supreme
Court.

Springfield, III, Nov. 4.-Onited
Press Illinois municipalities are
about to engage in another finish
fight with utility corporation-the
Illinois Bell Telephone company.
The coming battle had its seed in
recent decision of Judge z. S.
Smith of the Sangamon County Cir
cult court in which the court issued
"a permanent injunction restraining
the Illinois Commerce commission
from interfering with new tele-
phone rates filed by the Illinois
Bell Telephone company for Alton
and Edwardsville.
Injunction Brings Trouble.
Judge Smith based his decision on
section sc of the Illinois Commerce
commission law. This section gives
! the commission power to suspend
| poration for 120 days and a fur
| ther extension of six months. At
or before the end of this period
the commission shall establish the
rates and other charges, etc, or
| others. in lieu thereof, which it shall
find to be just and reasonable" the
section says.
The court ruled that under this
section the commission must take
some definite action before expira-
tion of the second suspension pc
riod. In the Alton-Edwardsvill
case the commission entered a third
suspension and on this order the
company asked and was granted a
permanent injunction on the
grounds the commission had not
acted within the period required IN
der this section
Peoria Moves First.
The city Of Peoria recognized the
danger in the decision and secured
an injunction restraining the com
pany from increasing its rates uu-
til an order from the commission
permitting it was issued.
