The fact seems to be firmly estab-
1ished that four-power arbitration
agreement is now under consideration
by the United States. Britain. Japan
and France. Balfour. Hughes. kato
and yiviani met late yesterday for the
first time in this matter. following
various informal preliminary conver-

Of the Anglo Japanese alliance ana
the substitution therefor OF an eiaoo:

terpretation. the signatory powers
would agree not to go to war, In any
question relating to their respective
territories in the Pacific until the
lapse Of years time.
No Bearing ON China.
While the four-power agreement is
supposed to have no direct bearing
either on the China question or the
naval limitation question. its maj
adoption is believed to be contingent
upon the satisfactory solution OF ooth

The abrogation Of the Anglo-Jap-

both Britain and Japan from the very
beginning as fundamental American
demand. To this end the first proposal
made by Britain and Japan was that
the alliance should be extended to
include the United States. The re-
fusal of the American delegates was
firm and immediate. The next sug-
gestion. also apparently originating
with Britain and Japan. was that the
arbitration principle embodied in the
Bryan treaties should be extended to
three-power Pacific agreement,
which should at the same time abro-
gate the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

GRAND CIRCUIT
RACING SEASON
IS USHERED IN
Close Finishes, Fast Time
and One of the Largest
First Day Crowds Mark
the Opening.
(By The Associated Press.>

North Randall, Cleveland, Ohio,
July 4.-The Grand Circuit har-
ness horse racing season Of 1921
was inaugurated here today under
the most suspicious conditions.
Close finishes, fast time and one
of the largest first day crowds
marked the opening.
One track record went by the
boards. In winning the Edwards
stake for 2:08 PAGERS, the feature
event on today's card, Prince Loree,
the double-gaited champion OF the
world, paced the second heat in
2:02%, half a second faster than
| the previous record for the stake,
established by the Game Of Chance
in 1918.
The last quarter was covered in
301b seconds. a full second faster
than the first.
The winner is owned by Captain
Davis Shaw and was driven by
Mike McDevitt. He is the first
Cleveland owned horse ever to win
the stake. which had value OF
$4,000.
Prince Loree had to overcome a
big lead to take the first heat. He
got off to a bad start and trailed
to the first turn. There he began
passing his field, winning in the
home stretch by a good margin. He
was the favorite in the betting.
In the second heat McDevitt let
Fred Edman set the pace with
Ruth Patch and then passed him in
the stretch run.
The Union Trotting association
rules were put into effect here to-
day. AS a result after Utah and
Prince Loree had won their races
in straight heats they were ruled
out of third heats.
Dick Mcmahon was the first
driver to draw penalty He was
fined 500 for laying up with Great
Excitement in the first heat of the
2:22 class trot. first division.
Bessie Worthy went lame scoring
for the third heat of the 1929 class
trotting, second division, and after
finishing third in the second mile
was drawn.
Jay Brook took first money In
the 2:04 pace, unfinished, by win
ming the first two heats. The thir,
heat will be raced tomorrow to de
eide the remainder of the money.
