Briand Declares Curzon Mistaken
 In French Plans
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Nov. 25-Premier Briand of France took sharp issue with Lord Curzon, the British foreign minister today, on that part of the latter's speech in London yesterday in which he intimated France had stolen a march" on her allies by en- tering into a separate agreement with the Turkish Nationalist government.
 The agreement was drafted and signed in London. after France had given notice to her allies that she intended to effect "a special agree ment for the settlement of our pri- vate affairs" NJ. Briand asserted in a statement issued just before he sailed for France on the steamship Paris.
 The statement in part follows:
 First, it is not a treaty, it is an agreement between the Angoran government and us for the settle ment of special questions concerning the frontier of Syria and Oincflia, the exchange of prisoners and the cessa- tion of hostilities which since the war has cost France several thousand killed and which compelled us to keep in these distant regions an ar my of 10000 men. It was an intoler- able burden for which the parliament would no longer assume responsibil- ity and l am surprised that we should be reproached-in the very moment that we are asked to reduce our standing arny-for an agreement which has as a result the prevention of new bloodshed and which permits us to reduce by half our army in the Orient"

AIMED AUSTRIAN
 SURGEON FINDS CITY OF MISERY
TRepubIIcan A. P. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Missry so poignant and so widespread greeted Dr. Adolph Lorenz, famous Austrian Orthopedic surgeon on the steps and in the halls of the hospital for joint diseases today that ne said he had almost decided to devote the remain der of his days to alleviatins the suf- freings of Americas crippies.
 Dr. Lorenz said at the cpd of his first gratitude clinic, that never in all his career, had he been affected as he was by the sight of hundreds of mairned, distorted humans, clam bring for his aid. And never, be added, had he seen land so sorely in need of relief from spinal and other troubles super induced by in fantile paralysis.
 His observations so far. he de- clared. led him to believe that there were ''ten or fifteen times as many such sufferers in the United States as in any other country in the world He was appalled,, he said, at what he had found since coming here to try to repay some part of Americas bounty 70 starving Austrian children
 Whether he will accept a twenty- room hospital in Brooklyn, which M. G. Collins. an oil man, has offered to equip and to endow with the pro- ceeds of a S100.0OO fund or will &C., cept an invitation to become consult ing surgeon at the hospital for joint diseases is yet to be decided.
 The question of when he will make a proposed tour of other cities also is undetermined.
 So many cripples are clamoring for his aid here that pr. Lorenz is un- willing to leave, pr. Weyman, his as- sistant. said.
 That it will be impossible for the noted surgeon to give more than a fleeting examination to many of his patients was emphasized at today's clinic.
 After working like mad for more than five hours. pr. Lorenz had seen 125 cripples-scarcely one-tenth of the supplicants for aid who crowded the hospital and the streets outside coming on crutches, in wheel chairs and in automobiles.
 During those busy five hours. he said. afterwards, he had advised enough operations to keep one sur geon busy for six months. Police reserves had to be called to handle the eager. hopeful crowds outside while nurses and internes were Kept b,Isv within, maintaining some semb- lance of order among those who had gained admittance.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Gradual abolition of the extra territorial rights fin China was agreed to ''in principle today by the arms conference and an exhaustiv, examination of the Chl- nese judicial system was decided on to determine now rapidly the change can be accomplished.
 Sitting as committee of the whole sthe delegates virtually decided in ex- ecutive session to put the investiga- tion into the hands of an internation- al commission of jurists who would visit in China next year and report direct to the governments concerned as to the ability of the Chinese au- thorities to take over the full ad- ministration ot justice now exercised in large part by foreign tribunals un- der the extr tei ritorial privilege.
 The step to be consummated to- morrow by the adoption of formal declaration ol policy and an author ization for the investigating commit tee was regarded as virtually com pleting the work of the conference re- lating tc etxra territoriality. The framing O. the resolution wss left to the sub committee headed by Sen ator Lodge of the American delega- tion, with instructions to report at tomorrow's meeting.
 During todav's session the commit tee also gave scme consideration to the question of postal autonomy for China, but no decision had been Q aeached at adjournment The argu- ment of China of the subject was

presented by pr. Sze, the Chinese minister here. who declared the eX- istence of foreign postal systems lrl China was wholly without sanction in international law, and whose ad- dress was marked by several express sions of general approval from the other delegations.
 Despite the cross currents of opin- ion that have been manifest outside the committee room, the meeting was declared to have been chara cterized by the greatest show of friendly feel ing, and general satisfaction was eX- pressed by the delegates at the at mosphere Of the negotiations. For the American delegation, it was declared that nothing but the friendliest feel ing had shown itself at the commit tee table and that whatever clashes of opinions may have occurred were confined to individual conversations among groups ot delegates.
 Alter the meeting some members of the Chinese delegations gave diff ferent versions of what their attt- tude would be if Great Britain were to insist on what has been represent ed to be her vicw Of the four prin- ciples laid down in the Root resolu- tion.
 While some Chinese members last night had expressed the opinion that they could do nothing but withdraw from the conference if Great Britain s reported view prevailed, Dr.. Chung

RESULTS OF PRESENT ASSEMBLY MAY BE SUBMITTED TO GERMANY AND RUSSIA AS FIRST STEP FOR WORLD WIDE RECOGNITION

concerned he would as soon have a nations word as its bona.
 This position the president is said to base upon faith that the Wash ington conference will help to put a new face upon international reIa- tionships and arouse new sense Of national honor. Agreements such IS the conference is expected to reach are regarded by the chief executive as touching closely national consid- eration of uprightness and good will
 The hope of the president for a continuation of conferences like the present one became known at a mo- ment when the arms delegates reached a stage of their deliberations strongly suggesting in itself that further negotiations will be neces- sary to consummate the task begun here. Representatives of the nine participating nations are said to have virtually decided at their session to- day to send an international com- mission of jurists to investigate China's judicial system and report next year to the various foreign of- fees, and discussions of other fea- lures of the Far Eastern situation continued with a growing indication that some sort of international ma chinery would be necessary to carry out the results of the conference de- cisions.
 Continuing Commissions
 It also is becoming apparent that the Washington conference will not be able to make final decisions on some subjects relating to arInaments. since subjects like the rules of war fare necessarily must be given world wide consideration before there can be a revision to which the powers will be willing to bind them selves. A continuing commission on air craft is regarded as another probable outcome of the conference. and it may be that after a limit has been set on the submarine power Of the nations there may be a more per manent body created to consider the suggestion that underwater warfare be abolished altogether.
 It was not indicated whether tha president has suggested even infor- mally to the foreign delegates the advisability of inviting Germany and other unrepresented nations to par ticipate in the agreements reached here, and none of the foreign spokes- mn would discuss the possibility It was recalled, however, that when Belgium. Portugal and The Nether- lands were added to the invitation list of the conference ,e the United States first sought the approval of the other powers, and an official of one foreign delegation said tonight that he presumed the same method would be followed in regard to fur ther invitations.
 In the view of most delegates II would not be necessary for all the nations to send delegates to Wash ington to participate in the final agreements of the conference. Such a proceeding might lead Q consider able delay. and it was generally pre- dicted that the final proposals or the conference simply would be trans mitted to the various foreign offices for acceptance or rejection.

UNITED STATES NAVAL EXPERTS FIND NJ REASON FOR REVISION IF
 ORIGINAL ESTIMATES IF POWERS

Most of their work is done through exchange of documentary tabulationS and expositions of the situation.
 The immediate desire of the Jap anese delegation is understood to be to provide for retention by Japan of the new battleship Mutsu and one other capital ship yet to be com pleted.
 American naval opinion has been strongly against any agreement which would permit this without re- tention by the United States of a. proportion equivalent in new ships slated to be scrapped under the Hughes plan. No definite indication of the British attitude has been given, but it has been pointed At that if both the other powers were permitted to enlarge their retained fleets, the British must, of necessity present preponderance. The British such a course
 The arguments of the Japanese ex-- perts as to Japan's right to more capital ship tonnage in proportion to the other powers than Secretary Hughes plan provided for were based.s it is known, on a series of recapltI-. lation of existing, building and pro-s jected Japanese tonnage. Niewea from any of these angles. the JaparE- csc experts argued, the Japanese navy came closer to standing at @ per cent of the American strenstlss than the 50 per cent provided for by the Hughes plan.

 PHYSICIAN SAYS MISS RAPPE WAS IN NTOX|CATED AT ARbUCKLE PARTY
Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-Tes- timony that Virginia Rappe, whose death is the basis of a manslaughter charge against Roscoe ("Fatty'O Arbuckle, was intoxicated and did not remember what happened to her." according to her own statement, was given in Arbuckle't trial today. The witness who gave this evidence was Dr. M. E. Rumwell, who first treated Miss Rappe after the party in Ar buckles rooms at the Hotel St. Fran cis at which the prosecution charges Arbuckle injured her
 Over tine protest of the prosecution Dr. Rumwell was permitted to read a history of the bladder injury which resulted in Miss Rappe's death, as ob- tained from her and from his own ob-
 servation. but a second statement going more exhaustivelX into the cause of the injury was ruled out. He
 was not cross examined.
 The defense announced that 1t
 placed great emphasis on Dr. Rum wells statement. The doctor is awaiting trial on a charge. of per- forming an unofficial autopsy on Miss Rappe.
 Miss Irene Morgan, a Pasadena trained nurse, testified that on at least five occasions she treated Miss
 Rappe for bladder trouble and that
 on each of these Miss Rappe tore al her clothing and cried out as she is
 said to have done after the Arbuckle
 party.
 The defense finished putting in ex- pert medical testimony today. Dr George Franklin Shiels, who testified as an alienist in the first trial of Harry K. Thaw, illustrated on a black board how bladder injuries might be caused by hysteria or alcoholism Doctors Lloyd Bryan and Fred H | Zumwalt testified that bladder rup- lures may, under certain conditions be purely spontaneous in character. The crowds at the trial were SC great today that the defendant and counsel had considerable difficulty in | reaching their places.
 | Both Gavin McNab, chief counsel | and District Attorney Matthew Brady l had to elbow their way through the l throng, with the aid of the police, tC reach their seats in time. Arbucklt used his big bulk effectively but good naturedly in forcing an entrance into ] the courtroom.
 l Among spectators today was Mrs | Rambina Maude Belmont, wht brought the charge of murder agains | krbuckle, which later was reduced t' the charge now being tried. She sa close to Mrs Minta Durfee Arbuckle wife of the defendant. but, as far al could be seen, the women did no l glance at each other.
 Arbuckie apparently was unmove' ! bv the evidence despite the genera | interest in the statements made D. pr. RumweIl and Miss Morgan. H i appeared more cheerful during tn recess periods than he has been 10 l some time past.
 Miss Jennie Neighbors told of hay ing met Miss Rappe at summer re 1 sort near Los Angeles and of havini l uinistered to her, at the girls re i quest, for what seemed to be ab | dominal pains.

First Contribution Toward Flood Control Comes From Railroad-Believe Full $37O,OOO Assured

The first contribution to the Cave Creek flood control to come from corporation not member of the board of governors was made yes terday when Louis H. Chalmers, rep resenting the Santa F'e Railway com pany, notified c. c. Cragin, member of the financial committee, that his principals had authorized him to an- nounce that the sum of $25,000 had heen appropriated for the Cave Creek dam. Accompanying the announce ment was the notification that the appropriation was not qualified in any manner with the exception of the provision that as the company was not a member of the board of gov ernors it desired to be relieved of any responsibility in the construction or the dam.
 This contribution, coming as it does without special qualification and in gratifying amount, is looked upon as the beginning of the completion of the Cave Creek fund. With the Ari- zona Eastern, the Standard Oil com pany. the Union Oil company, the Gillespie Oil company, the Rio Grande Oil company and Greenwood ceme- tery assisting in the fund, it Is be- lieved that total of about S31O,OO0 is assured for the work.
 The appropriations to be made by the foregoing interests will be forth coming, 1t is believed, without delay, especially since assurances from some of them Of the certainty of their con- tributions have been made to the board of governors. The completion of the fund is looked upon as the most important step in the Cave Creek project after the selection of a super vising engineer. which step has been taken in the unanimous vote of the board of governors of James E. Girand, and the steps which remain to be taken are only those which are rendered necessary by the legal and other technicalities which must be disposed of in any public project.
