He Tells The New York Herald Correspondent,

No Fear of Propaganda.

No Fear Of PropaGandn.
Tchitcherin added that the good
faith of the American people, who
are providing relief for famine
stricken Russia, and the honor OF
Herbert Hoover, who is administer
ing this relief, are regarded by the
Russian Soviet Government as
pledges that the humanitarian ser
vice will not disguise subversive po-
litical aims. He made no bones
about admitting that the question Of
control over the personnel Of the re-
lief workers was OF greatest political
Importance. Mr.. Hoover, he de-
clared, had at first insisted on
what was tantamount to extraterri-
torial rights, not only for the Amer.
leans, but also for members OF the
Russian committees.
I'VE accepted his terms finally,
with only minor notifications" he
said. I'VE could not agree to what
Mr.. Hoover originally demanded be-
cause II would have been a Limitation
OF our own sovereignty. We now
keep the right to enter the premises
in Russia OF the relief organization
and the right to demand expulsion as
regards relief workers, but at the
same time we agree to penalize our
officials ordering search should 1t
have proved unwarranted."
The Bolsheviki insist that one fea-
ture OF the American relief work in
Belgium and in Austria has been the
building up of strong and popular
organization, which. being made W
partly of prominent people Of those
countries, really represents a machine
of the handiest sort for political pur-
poses.
The Soviet officials have been per-
sistent in questions as TO whether
American relief might not create some
body likely to be strong enough to con-
test with the Soviet for supremacy OF
which would be a rallying point for
resident opponents of Communism
and already leading oppositionists are
on the committees.
Have Faith in Hoover.
THE New York HERALD correspond
ent asked M. Tchitcherin il he felt that
the terms between Maxim Ltvinoff
Soviet representative, and Walter
Lyman Brown. European director OF
the American Relief Administration
were a sufficient guarantee to satisfy
Moscow
AS guarantee they are quite
weak" lie replied. and we never could
have agreed to them IL II had not been
for Mr.. Hoover's categorical promise
that the relief would not be permitted
to become a political instrument. We
realized that Mr.. Hoover spoke, not as
a member OF the United States Gov
eminent but as head OF the relief or
ganization, but still we attached
weight to his being simultaneously a
leading member OF that Government.
NJ. Tchitcherin asked that he be per
mltted to take advantage OF the oc-
casion to express thanks to America
for what he termed sudden outburst
of American generosity.
The news that America Is going to
aid the famine sufferers will be spread
broadcast throughout the famine area
immediately by every conceivable
agency, so that the suffering people
will know that succor is coming. There
was some suspicion az first about the
American help. which some persons
believed wac only with view TO serv-
ing some Interior motive, but now 1t Is
recognized generally that America has
responded TO human need in a most
beautiful spirit.

Regarding Price

Many deprive themselves of the

they only look at the price. Check

think Of the evenings Of pleasure
and the many special occasions

greater successes because Of your

Oldest "Girl," no,
 Has Her Hair Bobbed

Newark, N. J., Dec. 15-The old Home for the Aged, 110 years old, is about to have her hair bobbed, Hike the other girls as she ex- pressed it. The management of the home withheld her name, fear ing lest it's publication might of fend wealthy relatives.
 q am only 110," she said, "and expect to break the record of my grandmother, who lived to be 125."
 She is known among the other in- mates as the telephone" because of her facility in gossip, and is also called the head of the Democratic party" because of her persistent discussion of pilitics. She ascribed her longevity to diet largely, eating of meat and very little bread.
 Another inmate of the home is Mrs. Rivka zippe, 105 years old. She primps constantly, and is said to be very jealous of the attentions paid by the old men in the insti- tuition to the other girls" She says that the secret of her old age and beauty is fresh air, and she sits out in all weather. Her favor te diversion is playing wiht dolls
 A benefit entertainment is to be- given for these two old ladies m which all of the forty or fifty in- mates of the home are preparing to participate.

HUGE CROWD
 SEES BURIAL
 OF SLAUGHTER
Thousands Struggle for Vantage Points at Ban dit's Grave-Morbid Gu riosity Reigns.

Little Rock, Dec. 14.-Ringed by a vast, dense swarm of postling hu- manity. with faces staring and cu- rious. the body of Tom Slaughter, bank robber and murderer, was buried ill Oakland cemetery yester- day afternoon.
 It is more than likely that the quiet cemtery avenues never before have been thronged with a crowd so great, or so morbidly curious. An hour before the cortege left the Healey & Roth chapel, automobiles had filled the thoroughfares in the cemetery, and undertakers' assist ants and others were exerting every effort to hold the mobs back from the small ropedin space where the bandits grave awaited the body. The crowd easily exceeded 5000. On ly comparative few could jam in close enough to see the black cas- ket, or to hear the words of the funeral ritual, but only a compara- tive few left the burying ground. Patiently they waited in the sun men, women and children; mothers with wailing babies in arms, with tered widows in their declining years, |flappers engaged in direct and in- direct flirtatious conquest, small boys at target practice with pebbles on the nearby headstones, opinion lated men voicing the belief that the bandit was still at large, since noth- ing in the newspapers is to be be- lieved At intervals an attendant land volunteer mob handler mounted a grave stone, and from this vantage point reported on the nonappear- ance of the funeral train.
 The flowers arrived before the hearse-a florists delivery aato fill led to it's limit. It contained floral tributes which already had made the trip to Benton when the body was held there, roses and lilies dropping and weary from their long tour of |duty.
 The hearse, followed by long line of automobiles, arrived shortly before 3:30 o'clock. Rev. w. B, Hogg, who had befriended the ban dit throughout his prison career in Arkansas, delivered the funeral ora tion, eloquent in it's simplicity.

 The sound was then heard of some one tearing up a heavy cloth preparing a crude rope. Hackney, hearing it, said: Well, boys, there is one consolation, anyway, I'll get to shake hands with several of you in hell. I did it and I guess I'll pay"
 A rope appeared and was placed about his neck. He was asked if he wished to make a statement: "I would like one thing, fellows, fl there is a six shooter in the crowd, please don't use it on my body. Here, tie my hands behind me so that won't fight the rope May God bless you all."
 He was then led limping along behind several of the leaders to a tree. While the rope was being drawn up Hackney said: Here, boyss let's do the thing right, put the jolly old moose under my left ear.''
 This was done, and one of the by islanders remarked to him:
 You certainly are the gamest condemned man l ever heard of"
 Sure I am," replied Hackney. There never was q gamer sucker than I. am not afraid to die. I've faced it too many times"
 He was then placed on a high gate and with several men pulling on the ropes he was swung off his feet. As the crowd turned to leave the body hanging in the moonlight, someone fired g shot at the body and instantly a fusillade was fired, the body being completely riddled.
 Hackney's home was in Atlanta, Ga. The child was not injured se- riously.

 Another indication that the gen. eral trend of the conference is sat isfactory to the leaders was given by the departure for France of Rene Viviani, head of the French del- egation. The date of his departure had been contingent on situation which would permit him to leave without embarrassment of the work of the conference.

WHITE MAN HANGED
 BY MOB AT WACO

Waco, Tex, Dec. 15.-"C Curly Hackney, white, about 30 years old. arrested in connection with an at- tack upon an eight-year-old girl was taken from the city jail Tuesday night and hanged three miles south of town.
 He confessed, according to the police. Hackney was arrested Tues day night, and shortly afterward a mob gathered at the jail.
 Obtaining possession of the sus- pect he was rushed from the jail and placed in an automobile and driven to a point near a cemetery The body was riddled with bullets after being swung from tree About 300 persons composed the mob
 Hackney, crippled in the right leg from a recent gunshot wound, presented the coolest and most aug dacious front possible to the men collected about him at the scene of the hanging. His last words before he swung from the end of the rope were; No use to argue with mob, buddy, they hold aces and I hold trumps. Only one thing, they're it out worse than it really was"
 Arriving at the scene of the hang ing in the car, followed by 50 oth CTS, Hackney coolly leaned against the side of the car and smoked a cigarette. A shout was put up inn for a rope. A suggestion was made:, Hang him with some skid chains"
 "Aw, get rope replied Hack

NICKELS RAIN FROM STUFFED

Clerk Arrested While Col lecting from Route" of Plugged B xes That Yielded Tidy Income.
By international News service)

(By international News Service)
 New York, Dec. 15.-Next time you go into telephone pay sta ticn, deposit your nickel, wait five minutes and fail to get your party and the operator says, '1 will re- turn your money" and you wait for the familiar tinkle of the jitney in the metallic "coin return" box, and lit doesn't come; and you are about to tell the operator that she is not playing fair with you; just take a close look at the slot through which the coins are supposed to drop.
 Perhaps you will find there a wedge, of paper wood or some other substance, which prevents the re- lease of the coveted coin. And when you take out the plug perhaps you will get, not one nickel, but a whole rain of them.
 This novel method of acquiring funds was discovered here when de- tectives apprehended David Levitch eighteen -year-old clerk, in the act .of collecting from his route" of telephone coin boxes
 Levitch says he got the idea when he found a coin box in the subway plugged that way.

THE JAPANESE ACCEPT UNDER
 CONDITIONS
Final Agreement on the 5-5-3 Naval Ratio App pears Near-New Treaty is Signed.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Japan has indicated conditional acceptance of the American "5-5-3" naval ratio and a final settlement of the ques- tion appears imminent.
 After another meeting of the na- val "big three" late yesterday it was said that lone very small point alone remained to be determined D
 The exception to the American plan is said to center about Japan s desire to retain her new battleship Mutsu, and scrap instead vessel of older type. If she is permitted to do so, it is indicated that the Unit ed States and Great Britain will insist on similar concessions for themselves, always in the ratio of "5-5-3."
 While the naval problem was en- tering what appears to be it's de- cisive stage, another of the big projects of the arms conference was brought to consummation The new four-power treaty to preserve peace in the Pacific was sealed and signed by the plenipotentiaries of the United States, Great Britain, Japan and France.
 Shantung Issue is Acute.
 Indications developed that in an- other branch of the Washington ne- that concerned with things are not going so smoothly. After nearly a dozen in which apparent progress has been made, both the Japanese and Chinese came out of a confer ence late yesterday showing signs of somewhat dampened hopes.
 The question of financial settle ments involved in Japan's withdraw al from the Kiao Chow ,leasehold was the stumbling block which ar- rested the progress of the negotia- Lions. Neither side is disposed to regard the situation as crisis, but each complains that the other has taken a position difficult to under

ditions and also to the seasonal nature of the work.
 The old national agreement rec ognized the 10-hour day in extra of floating gangs of workmen whose employment is temporary and sea- sonal. Regular gangs, however, were paid overtime after eight hours, causing much criticism, especially from agricultural sections, where farmers said the long hours on the farm were no inducement compared to shorter hours and higher pay on the railroads. The farmer there fore suffered, It was contended both farm and railroad drawing it's workers from the same class of labor
 Many Changes Made.
 Under the new rules many changes are made. The number of hours work a day may be reduced by mutual agreement, to avoid reduc- ing forces. The roads formerly were compelled to pay eight hours wages day for each man employ ed. Regular assignment of Sunday and holiday work no longer draws time and half pay. When called for less than days work, how ever, employees will be paid three hours straight time for two hours work or less, instead of time and a half for the two hours and pro-rate time thereafter. Extra time worked before the regular work day begins will draw time and half as before, but the schedule of hours being sub- ject to local agreement, such extra pay may be eliminated by fixing an earlier beginning time.
 Employees called off their regular assignments and travelling in camp cars, under the new rules get only straight time for eight hours day, including Sundays and holidays. Under the national agreement they draw half time between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m.
 Straight time will be allowed en- ployes travelling in other than out fit cars for work hours only. They will receive half time for other hours, instead of full time as under the national agreement. Men who work through meal time hereafter will be paid straight time instead of time and a half, being allowed 20 minutes extra with pay to eat their lunches at the first oppor- tunity
 The board now has completed con- sideration of rules covering ap- 100000 railroad em- ployes, about half of the men em- ployed on the railroads of the coun- try.
