to have asked the manager of the
house for permission to play the
piano. He was told that he could
so ahead and play, but left the
room instead and went to the front
of the building. A moment later a
man is said to have rushed into the
room where Ervlen and the other
men were sitting and reported that
"a wild shooting negro was COM

later he burst into the room whero
tho men were. Williams was stand

negro entered he pointed his gun
at him. Williams slammed the
door against the negro just as the
latter pulled the trigger and the
bullet went wild. The negro con-
tinued to fire the gun. it is alleged,
as the men were attempting to
make their getaway. All the men
disappeared and it was not known
for some time that any of them

Terms Of omisc.
Some unofficia anese observ-
ing the conference expressed the
opinion that today's conference
had to do with some projected
terms of compromise which has
first to be referred to Toxic, as the
official Japanese here are without
plenipotentiary powers and as the
coming agreement had to be con-
sidered in Toxic with regard to its
effect on the japanese ministry.
These Japanese pointed out that
an agreement by which the Jap
anese navy wouldfbe permitted to
etain the supperdreadnaught Mutsu
and by which the United States
would agree to fortify its Pacific
bases no further would. according
to Japanese calculations, place the
japanese naval ratio at approXi-
mately Go to &C per cent instead OF
the present per cent stipulated to
the American proposals.
AS the naval negotiations slow
down there is growing speculation
in conference circles whether y
the end the Far Eastern and naval
problems viii not become inter
laced. 1t has been the apparent
hope of conference officials to
keep the two discussions separate,
but there has been more than one
indication that there might be an
attempt to make naval agree
ment in some degree conditional
on a solution, of the political re.a-
tionships of the Far East.
Japnns Change of Front
With the question of the 5-5-3
ratio in allegiance because of the
change of front by Japan to claim
a 20 per cent instead of so per cent
status on the basis of national
needs rather than existing naval
strength, naval experts were az
work today on preliminary data
for discussion of points of techni-
cal interest in the American pro-
gram when the capital ship ratio
has been settled. In connection
with these studies the probability
is that British and Japanese ex-
perts will ask modification of the
ter-year naval holiday to permit
a limited amount of naval build
Ing.
There Is more or less divided
opinion among American naval
men on the point and the govern
ment's selected experts have not
as yet been called upon to present
their views, as the question is not
up for formal discussion. Some
American officers feel, however.

After the conference between
Secretary Hughes, Admiral Kato,
and Balfour was concluded, the
Japanese delegation began COM
municating with Toxic.
This communidue was issued:
arthur ]. Balfour, q Admiral
Baron kato and Secretary Hughes
met at the state department this
afternoon and had an extended in
terview with respect to the naval
proposals. No comment on the in
terview can be made at this time"
Conference Lasts Two Hours.
The conference lasted about two
hours and limitations were given
that basis existed for some optim-
ism. One delegation spokesman
referred to it as one of the mos.
important discussions yet held
which would mean much to the
success of the conference as a
whole, The result was most fa-
vorable," he added.
An authorized spokesman of the
BritishN delegation revealed clearly
the purpose of his government to
use its best efforts for solution.
"Great Britain" said he, "has
tried to do everything within her
power to bring about settlement
OF disputed questions between 9TH
er powers. | have no doubt that
Mr. Balfour has used his best eff
forts to find plan which will
meet the views of both America
and Japan"
Will Require Time.
In many quarters there was a
disposition to regard tonight'S
conference of the "Big Three as
bearing close relation to the con-
versation yesterday between Ar
thur J. Balfour of Great Britain
and Baron kato. There We're in
dications that Japans attitude had
not yet been fully defined by the
exchanges proceeding between the
japanese delegation and Toxic,
however, and one Japanese spokes-
man said after the big Three"
conference that it would take
some time" to bring the ratio ques-
tion to solution.
Debate Fruitlcss.
The Far Eastern committee to-
day debated without result with
drawal of the foreign troops from
China and the Chinese and Japan
ese got down to business In their
new effort to settle the Shantung
controversy. A broadly drawn de-
claration of general policy on the
troops question may be adopted on
the far eastern committee tomor-
row but the Shantung discussions
were adjourned until Monday after
the two sides had set forth the
general outlines of their positions.
Both SIDES Yielding?
There were some indications be-
Ing construed to mean that the
japanese viewpoint on naval ratio
was being brought more into har-
mony with the American. 1t was

The charges by Whittier that he
failed properly to account for more
than 5000 disbursements are given
first place by Wagner in his reply
and, he says, he not only accounts
for these but has SG57.32 coming
from the certification fund and
$212.32 as to travelling expenses.
Deposits Exceed Receipts.
Bank deposits to the credit of the
certitication fund, he says, for the
four years exceeded by $669,55 the
receipts admitted by Whittier. plus
$l,571.43 disputed items" and the
amount he turned. over to State
School superintendent Conway
when he took charge, was S10.6f
more than the book balance. E,X-
plantations of the disputed items"
then are given. Certification fund
receipts and disbursements are ad-
mitted as listed by Whittier, he
says except the $1,000 item which
he denies is proper charge against
him for the reason that the receipt
is attached to the voucher.
Nine hundred dollars salary as
executive officer of the state board
for vocational education is claimed.
Whittier disallowed this The
boards budget is cited in support
.of Nagner's claim.
All receipts and payments from
the fund for the payment of the
grading boards, he says, are prop
erly accounted for in his reply.
Whittier charged $1.567.66 against
him on vouchers issued to the grad
crs. These vouchers, Wagner says,
were drawn for the most part to
reimburse himself after he paid
THE graders out of his personal ac-
count and. he adds, he attached to
these his cancelled personal checks,
which he made out to the graders,
except in three cases in which the
checks were lost. Ee files affida-

he was asked to account for, he
saws he could not find the settle
ment sheet in the departments Of

the settlement sheet which, he says,
should he in the offices.
Travelling Expenses.
Turning to his travelling eX-
penscs Wagner says these totaled
$S,232.7S for the last three years
and his credits, which, he says, in
cludc all mileage purchased, totaled
.SS,O20.03. lie claims the difference,
which, he says, was paid out for
tayicab fares and smaller expenses.
As to the S160 interest charge
against him on a loan obtained for
the certtfication fund, he says he
is willing to accept the attorney
generals opinion as to whether this
is a proper charge against him per-
sonally and saying his assistant was
allowed $4,000 per year travelling
expenses, he points out those
charged against him averaged but
little more, II any. and furnishes
statements by trips of his expenses.
