Washington. July 19-(By the A. P) President Hardings move for disarma- nent conference is assuming far greater magnitude in world affairs than first in dicstions disclosed.
 As the preliminary negotiations pro- ceed thef are revealing all sorts of unex- pected diplomatic ramihcations and lead ing into fields which in the beginning had seemed far removed from the pur- poses of the conference. But ogicials tere apparently are thoroughly confident that the widespread effect of the presi- dents proposal will in the end only prove an aid in accomplishing the frank ex- change of ideas for which the conference was called.
 One of tpeprincipal side issues now occupying the attention of the American government is the disposition of Japan so hold hold for an exact definition in advance of the subjects to be considered hy the assembled powers. The attitude 0f officials here is that to thresh out the question now not only delays the con- ference. but might also branch into dis cuzsion of the merits of the disputed sub Jects themselves. It is frlt that the pro- gram for the conference could best be arranged by. the conference itself, or fail- ing that. at least by negotiation after each Of the invited powers ha ssent In an unconditional acceptance.
 News despatches from Tolzio reporting that Japan might raise such question as racial equality and abolition of extra ter ritory rights in China, were read with manifest interest here. but no official would comment There was an appar- ent feeling of satisfaction over other un- official sdvices seeming to indicate that the TolIio government proposed to clean the slate of some of the troublesome far

OFFICIAL TEST OF GAS
 AS A MOB sCATTERER

Philadelphia. July 1s.-Lachrymatory or tear gas, tae invention of Major Ste phen de La Noy, of the chemical warfare division, U. s. army. was given its first official tryout as a mob scattered and in repelling attacks by criminals at Cannon Ball Farm, below Point Breeze, today. and as result 200 policemen. Ted by Superintendent of Police Mills of PhiIa- deiphia, were driven back weeping three times
 An area was marked of and five patrol men, veterans of overseas bombing squads. began hurling the light grenades at distance of about 40 years. In remarkably short time the mob" was n full retreat.
 Superintendent Mill took battalion of his heartiest men into a roped-off enclo- sure with instructions to capture the men. who were armed with I5O tear gas bombs. Three times they charged, but each time were driven back weeping vio- lently as they came within range of the charged yapor. Major de La Noy as- sured the men before they entered the mimic battle that the substance was 'zb- solutely not dangerous" It is merely a tear-producing, choking, nauseating gas But be careful you don't swallow too much," he said.
 Police officials declared the test had undoubtedly proved the value of tear gas in police work. The authorities said the gas leaves reddish brown stains on cloth ing which would aid in identifying those taking part in riots or criminal adven- lures.
 Victims who inhale the fumes are rem dered helpless for short time but no endangered. Officials asserted it was likely the gas would replace older meth- ods used to subdue mobs and criminals

WORK ON THE FoRDNEY
 TARIFF BILL IN THE HOUSE

Washington. July 19.-The house in- ished consideration of contested sched- ules in the Fordney tariff bill today by placing asphalt on the free list, and thus in four of the five paragraphs open to votes overruled the action Of its ways and means committee in framing the measure Dye control provisions or the bil at drawn were the only section of the five not upset by the house.
 After disposing of the asphalt amend ment, which rejected proposed duties ranging from 50 cents to SS ton' the house began consideration of the numer- ous "perfecting" amendments which the ways. and means committee deemed necessary. It raised the proposed duty on dried beans from l and If to 5-4 cents a pound and increased the duties on sheued almonds from cents to 12 cents a pound and shelled walnuts from D to | l 2 cents a pound in rapid order.
 The business of ''perfecting" the bill then was stopped by a long parliament tary fight. It was a recurrence of the controversy of yesterday ranging about claims of the democrats that the repuol% can members of the ways and means committee had not allowed the minority to pass on the amendments before they were offered The wrangle continued for two hours. Some members declared there was nothing fair in the treatment, others that it was an old-time custom
 In the course of the slough Of five minute talks, several democrats pressed Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee for a statement as 10 when they would be permitted to offeI amendments. MT. Fordney paid no need for while, but when the demands De- came insistent he fairly shouted:
 Just as soon as the democrats get control of the house. they can amend the tariff They can't do it before"
 The democratic fight embraced wide range with little or no response from the republican side except from Mir. Ford ney, but charges that the tariff bill was drawn in the interest of the trusts kept cropping out continually. Steel aluminium and dye. and several other trusts" were picked out as benefciariei of the bill but MT. Fordney contendec none would derive more protection thar the smallest infant" industry. The oil was to encourage American industry oi all kinds and he had no apologies to oftei for it's provisions, he asserted.

OVER AFFAIRS
 IN IRELAND HAVE CEASED

London, July 19 (By the A. P).- Events which had apparently been pro- ceeding smoothly and with fair rapidity toward a common ground upon which the British government, the Irish repuoh- cans and the Ulsterites could find basis for settlement of the troubles in Ire land have fallen into lull and for the moment the negotiations, both oInclal ana private, have ceased.
 With Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre- mier. again in Belfast, having before his department from London delivered pro- nouncement which seemed at the time to spell the end of discussions between the three parties, the English people are try ing to figure out what will eventually happen with respect to Ulster, and more particularly with respect to the whole of Ireland, at the next conference between Mir Lloyd George and MT. De Valera, which is set down for Thursday.
 In the meantime, General Shuts, the South African premier, may proceed to Belfast as intermediary, and the fact that the Ulster leader has declared that his services and those of theofficials un- der him are available at any moment" leads to a hopeful view that the final word of the Ulsterites has not yet been spoken.
 Notwithstanding the attitude ct Ulster as expressed by Premier Craig, the spokesman of the re Iblican delegates today declared they were still not un- hopeful" while another Sim Fein rep resentative said:
 Tt is not a question of Belfast being subservient to Dublin.or vice versa, but that both must be subservient to Ire land"
 The king. deeply concerned in the out come of the Irish discussions, was vis- tied today by the Marquis of London derry, Ulster minister of education, who it is understood. gave the king details of the conversations the marquis had with Premier Lloyd George yesterday The continued presence of one of thu Ulster cabinet members in London il considered significant and of good au gury.
 Mir. Lloyd George Is believed to have certain propositions to present to Mir. Dt l Valera at Thursdays meeting which have been approved by the British cabinet | The republican leader and his colleagues l will probably return to Dublin on Frl day or Saturday in order to review th' events of their visit to London and tak' under advisement whatever proposals th' | British government has offered:
