more prohibition agents are
needed on the Pacific coast If
whisky running is to be checked,
according to A. b. Stroup, special

offered for the capture and con-
viction of the two men who held
up the oregon Short Line train,
otherwise known as the Los Angeles
limited, No. 7, Of the Union Pacific
system, at Clearfield, nine miles
south of Ogden, August 81. The
chief office of the oregon Short
Line was without information here
as to the exact amount taken by the
robbers, but it was thought at the
time that about $1,000 was stolen
from the passengers.
The report showed that the rob-
bers joked with the passengers but
that they did not molest the wo-
men and children. They jumped
off when near the Salt Lake station
and vanished.

New York, Dec. 23.-The gates of
Ellis Island swung open late today
freeing more than 1000 aliens, de-
tanned under the immigration quota
law. SO that they might spend
Christmas with friends and rela-
tives in the land of promise.
They will be at liberty for ninety
days, under an order issued in
Washington today by Secretary of
Labor Davis, but must return at
the end of that time for deporta-
ton, unless promised attacks on
the constitutionality of the re-
strictive law have born fruit, or the
government decides to make more
exceptions in tnelr cases.
The order arrived shortly after 3
O'clock, and two hours later 200 of
the aliens had packed their belong
ings and left the island. Others
departed after nightfall, all the en-
ployes at the immigration station
working late to help the aliens get
away. immigration Commissioner
Tod said all Of them would be re-
leased by tomorrow evening.
Hungarians, Poles and Greeks
outnumbered other races in the
happy swarms that signed
the necessary papers and ran with
expectant gaiety toward the ferries
that brought them to New York and
to railway terminals on the Jersey
shore.
Many Board Trains.
Many Of the foreigners immedi-
ately boarded trains that would
take them to loved ones in the west.
Others landed at the Battery, and
scattered to the various foreign
colonies in the polyglot metropoli-
tan area.
The cheerful tidings from Wash
ington came so unexpectedly that
the delight of the aliens became al
most frenzy. Many had been in
downcast spirits at the prospect of
a penned-in Christmas followed by
from the land to which
they had come with high hopes.

No Alliance Contemplated.
Mr.. Harding added that the
treaty contemplated no alliance
or entanglement" and asked that
lesser questions of difference be
not permitted to obscure the CEN
trail purpose of the agreement 20
preserve peace and provide means
for friendly consultation as a
means of settling international
controversies.
Within the arms conference
proper, the days only session was
devoted to a continuance OF the
debate over Great Britain's propo-
sal to abolish the submarine. the
discussion was not finished and
the conference, giving up plans
for an extended Christmas recess,
will meet again tomorrow to con-
slider it.
Tonnage Allotments.
In the meantime, discussion OF
the general question of auxiliary
tonnage allotments, remain in
allegiance, despite the fact that ad-
ditional instructions on the sub
iect reached the French delega-
ton today from Paris. The French
have taken the position that the
abolition proposa1 should be car
ried to a decision before allot-
ments are taken up. and appar-
emily their viewpoint has been ap-
proved by the other powers.
In replying to the British pro"
posal today, however, Admiral de
Bon, chief French naval expert.
gave the conference a glimpse of
Frances position on auxiliary tom
mage by declaring no important
naval power could afford to
maintain less than the 10000 tons
of submarines proposed in the
American reduction plan for the
United States and Great Britain.
The 10000 ton figure would be
greatly in excess of the present
French submarine strength and
would be three times the amount
she would have under an applica-
ton of the ratio already agreed to
as to capital ships.
submarine Discussion.
Along with the submarine dis
cussions, there has developed a
proposal that plans be made for
some future conference to include
other nations and take up details
of auxiliary fleet construction |
which some of the delegates feel
cannot be settled here. The Italians |
have taken the lead in advocating
such O. plan, and the British are |
understood to have suggested that |
the United States come forward |
with some definite proposal in line /
