NORFOLK ONCE CALLED
ISLAND OF DESPAIR"

Norfolk Island, in the South Pacific,
was, 100 years ago, prison for the
very worst type of British offenders
against the laws, and it became
known as the Island of Despair" Iso-
lated there, many thousands of miles
from their old haunts, as punishment
for their crimes, men were driven to
madness or to some deed that ended
their lives.
A settlement called Kingston was
formed in 1888, and this is the capital
of the island today. 1t was carefully
laid out with streets, culverts, bridges
and a pier, and all these are in excel
lent preservation, showing the thor
ough quality of the work done by the
convicts.
| The actual prisons are rapidly fall
| ing into ruin, all that remains being
| huge walls, three feet thick, of cells
in which prisoners were confined. The
prison square, containing churches
kitchens and buildings for various
! trades carried on by the convicts, was
| enclosed by high stone wall, still in
! tact in most places, but crumbling on
the ocean side. Norfolk Island was
abandoned as penal settlement in
1855.
| The island is a British possession
under the jurisdiction of the Common
wealth of Australia. Fine buildings
are located along the roads, built {
century ago by the convicts, and still
in good repair.

Buddhist Festival Breaks
Up In Serious Disorders
(Bv Associated Press)

RANGOON, Dec. 24.-In the course
of Buddhist festival on the slopes OF
the Shwe-Dagon pagoda, 200 monks
were admitted to a theatrical perform
ance free of charge, whereupon ar
other $50 demanded the same priv
lege on the ground that monks never
paid. On being refused, because, sc
they were told, there was no room for
them, the monks tore down the fenc
ing and turned out the audience.
The police were summoned and TEN
porary quiet was restored, but the dis
satisfied monks and their sympathiz
eis rapidly increased to 5000. The ar
rival of 40 Gurkhas to keep order was
the signal for fresh outbreak and fol
three hours there were continuous free
fights on the slopes of the pagoda
Eventually the rioters were dispersed
after one Burman had been killed anC
II injured. Two of the Gurkhas alss
were injured.

JAPAN SEEKS ID
 LIMIT ARBITRATION
DESIRES TO AGREE ON CONFER.
 ENCE PROGRAM IN AD- VANCE.
CONSIDER MANY SUBJECTS
Docs Not Want Shantuno and Yap Questions Brought Before Con- ference--Japanese Also Fear
 Loss of Rights.

Washington Although the conclu sions or the diplomatic advisory coun eil of Japan, which has been meeting in Tokio. are expected to decide final ly the course of that country with re- speet 10 participation in the proposed Far Eastern conference, it was ssid aHthoritatively today to be practically certain that Japan will ask assurance that ] formal agreement as to the scope of the discussions be reached before the meeting.
 Formulation of such an agreement, it WAS said, need not precede an an swer from Japan to the overtures of Secretary Hughes, but must, in the view of the Japanese government, come between the reply to the Amer ican secretary of state and the ac- tual meeting of the conference. For mutation of the agreement might come before the extension of the formal invitation to the conference; in fact, there are some indications that the Japanese would prefer that arrange ment, but if not. the formal invita- tion iteelf will, it is expected, make these limitations clear.
 Principal subjects for discussion by the proposed conference under the head of Far Eastern questions are con- sidered i'll Japanese circles here to embrace the status of China; it's rela- tion to other governments, its com. plex internal economic conditions and the possibility of reconciling various conflicting concessions held by for eign governments as well as lndlVid- uals. The Japanese belief Is that there shall be no interference by the conference with vested rights and concessions. but that it is entirely proper that efforts be made to relieve friction that has grown out of over Tapping claims. Japan claims certain exclusive rights in Manehuria: Great Britain asserts control of d sphere of influence in the whole Yangste valley. America has railway ( oncessions through Middle China Belgium and Holland also are interested financial ly in such enterprises. while France dominates the Chinese postal system as a counterbalance to EngRand's control of the Chinese maritime GUS toms. Japan also enjoys valuable and exclusive rights in Fukien province.
 That the conference might consider the framing of some plan for sim plification of all these concessions will be favored by Japan, it is under stood. Incidentally. that would af- feet the American concession based on a tobacco tax monopoly, and might also involve review of the arrange ments made by the consortium which undertook to finance China
