Helena, Dec. 24.-HurIing defi-
ance at the governor, charging that
he had broken every promise he
had made in connection with the
prison investigation, denying the
right of the governor to name
committee following his appoint.
ment Of r. n. Macdonald as an
Investigator and insisting that there
remains but one method by which
the matter can now be dispose
Colonel c. B. Nolan, counsel for
Frank ConIey, Saturday laid be-
fore the prison board his demands
of Friday for court proceedings, in
repIy to Governor Dixon's offer of
Friday to increase the Story COM
mittee with men to the liking of
ConIeys attorneys.
The proceedings of Saturday were
but a repetition of those of the previ-
Gus day, taken up by two hours
heated argument between the governor
and Mr.. Nolan and resulted in nothing
other than a statement by ths governor
that he would call meeting of the
prison board upon the return to Helena
of Attorney Rankin, who had left the
meeting shortly after it had opened
Christmas engagement.
NoIan's Uitimatum
Colonel NoIan's ultimatum, express
ed by him towards the latter part OF
the argument in response to additional
suggestions by the governor. was:
mo more committees. No more IN
vestigations. The state already has
expended some money on Investigations
The courts--the sanctified spot-the
place to which the citizens look for
their rights, is the only place to which
/ viii now go with you
Colonel Nolan held that the governor
had failed to keep faith with him, in
that he had agreed to give Conley an
opportunity to explain away the
charges Of the investigator before they
were submitted to the people, that he
had agreed to hearing before the
prison commission and that this had
not been permitted.
Makes Rankin "Goat"
Governor Dixon countered this by
claiming that he had referred the report
to the prison commission for action
and that the prison commission in his
absence from the state had prevented
any such action by-upon the advice
of Conley's MISUNDERSTANDING CON-
mittee with authority to investigate
the Macdonald report.
Colonel Nolan claimed the matter
should have been referred by the gov
ernor to the attorney general, with in
structions to begin proceedings in the
courts and the governor answered that
he had performed that duty in present
ing the report to the attorney general
as member of the prison commission

Washington, Dec. 24.-Who is the
dramatist of the conference for the
limitation of armaments? Can it be
Mr.. Hughes? / would never have be-
lieved it. Tremendously as l admire
him, / could never have conceived Of
his deliberately staging his diplomatic
achievements with SO amazing an ap--
probation of the time, the place and
The world at large. 1t did not need
Mr.. Balfour's delicate and humorous
understanding to point out to. those
November II that the dramatic quail
ity of Mr.. Hughes great speech ri
vailed. if it did not outstrip, its splen-
did matter. But who would have be-
lieved that he would repeat himself
Yet he did it. Just four weeks from
his first great coup he pulled off an
other that had every element of drama
which characterized the first-and it
had more, strains of genuine emotion
and one scene of biting satire. (Not
for moment. however. do | believe
that Mr.. Hughes intended that.)
Week of Surprises
He followed it by a week of sur
prises, all of them limited at in the
first scene Of the big piece and neces-
Eary IL the play was 10 nave Il Iuli.
In spite of the fact that you knew
each of the successiyS.>cenes was in
eyitable, when it came to be staged 1t
gave you fresh sense of the bigness
of the things doing~here. aroused anew
your admiration for the sound and
beautiful logic with which they are
knit together.
The surprise of the opening day of
the conference, November II, lay in
the unexpectedness of what Mr..
Hughes had to say. The first surprise
of December 10 lay in the fact that
there was to be full session. 1t was
not until nearly midnight of the ninth
that it was announced. A few diners
lingering late heard of it, The press
of course was informed. But to most
of us the news came when we opened
our morning paper over our coffee
q full headline across the top of the
page.
Plenary Session
OF course we realized that it was
going to be a big day. For weeks there
had been hidden in the mists about
the conference something which those
who were able to penetrate near to
the center Of things declared to be a
treaty. Watching this treaty emerge
was like watching ship come out

of a thick fog. There were warning
signals, faint at first, but growing
more and more distinct-the Anglo
japanese pact was dying, if United
States wished it it should go, and it
was certain that the United States had
for a long time wished it,-also Au-
stralia and other parts of the English
empire. Then we began to hear more
and more from another direction--sig-
nails that had been sounded at inter
walls for weeks before the conference
conyened-Japan was uneasy about
the naval bases in the Pacific. She
would like to have them dismantled.
AS one listened one began to under
stand that Mr. Hughes program of
naval limitation would stay where it
was until something had been done
about both the Anglo-Japanese pact
and the islands of the Pacific.
Logic Begins to Clear
The logic of the situation began to
clear. The fair minded began TO ask
themselves, 'Well now after all how
can We expect Japan to strip herself
OF ships, if she must, as seems to be
inevitable, give up her understanding
with England: How can we expect
her to weaken her defenses and take
no exception to the Notifications in
the waters near her. She is the mem
Der of this conference that is being
asked to sacrifice until it hurts, and
the only one Is it fair to ask her
to sacrifice without guarantees? is
there any way out but a treaty-a
treaty in which we join?
Moreover. if we ask her to sacrifice
without a guarantee will she do it?
Not Japan.
Thus it became more and more clear
that the success of the naval program
depended on some kind of pact which
would satisfy Japan that she could
agree to what Mr. Hughes had asked
and still have no reason to feel her
self in danger.
Line of Retreat Open
The first definite black faced full
width of the page headline came as /
remember, on December 5-"Four
Power Entente to Replace Anglo
japanese Alliance" The morning aft
er this bold announcement it was not
quite so sure. The newspapers were
keeping q line of retreat open. AS
they put it: discussions of the pro-
posal have reached q well advanced
stage. none of the governments con-
cerned had given final apn-.val."
There was enough that was sure, how
ever, to give the wicked chance to
jeer at "entangling alliances!

Cairo, Egypt Dec. 24.-(By The AS
sociated Press disorders in eonnec-
tion with the Egyptian nationalist agi-
tation broke out Saturday in Gizeh, a
suburb of Cairo, when party of stu
dents raided the government survey
offices. British troops were rushed
from Cairo to cope with the situation.
The students were ultimately elected.
The losses were given in the early re-
ports as five killed and twenty wound
ed.
While the disorders were proceeding
in Gizeh, Cairo itself remained quiet.
and no disturbances from the provinces
were reported with the exception of
minor troubles at Tanta, fifty miles
northwest of Cairo.
The authorities conveyed to Suez
Saturday six followers of Said Tag
loul Pasha, the nationalist leader, fore
IDLY removed from the city Friday on
orders of Field Marshal Allenby, the
British high commission in Egypt.
The rupture of negotiations between
the EGYPTIAN delegation in London and
Lord Curzon, the British secretary for
foreign affairs, late in November, is
looked upon in most quarters here as
likely to create another Ireland in
Egypt, because of the intense national
istic feeling that had been aroused
among the Egyptians.
The Egyptian problem is considered
by close students of the situation as
far worse than ever. judged by the
tone of the native press, and the num-
Der of anti-government demonstrations
in the large cities.
Meanwhile, the extremists under Said
Zagloul Pasha are again coming to the
fore and seem to be winning the sup
port Of the masses.
Alexandria. Egypt, Dec. 24.-(By
The Associated Press. More than 100
of the city's street lamps and some
shop windows were smashed Saturday
by small groups of demonstrators.
Police forces and armored cars dis
persed them. Otherwise Alexandria re-
mained quiet, but with an undertone
Of excitement.
