PACKERS REFUSE
 TO END TROUBLE BY ARBITRATION
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO. Dec. 10-The strike of packing house employees cannot be settled by arbitration, Arthur Meek CT. vice president of Armour and company, declared tonight in a state ment outlining the situation.
 He declared that the packers had agreed with their employees over wages through the employe represen- tation plan and that, consequently, there were no differences between the packers and their men.
 "The few workers who have walked out can do as they please" he said. "The great bulk of the employees are well satisfied and have remained loyal These are the men We are in terested in and. since there is no need for arbitration where there is no dis pute, naturally we are not seeking an arbitrator"
 MT. Meeker was approached today by government agents seeking to settle the strike. They were plainly told that the packers took the atti- tude that there was nothing to ar bitrate.
 There is no occasion for discuss ing arbitration between meat pack ing concerns and those few of the men who have left their jobs" said Mir. Meeker's statement.
 "Our plants were able to operate at about so per cent of normal during the past week and there is no indi- cation that the public will be seri- ously inconvenienced. It is our eX- pectation that we will be operating in normal manner within a week.
 "The reduced output of the past week has had little effect on the prices other than for fresh pork pro- ducts which always are particularly sensitive to conditions of supply and demand. Throughout the country as a whole fresh pork prices have not advanced materially but in Chicago and such other cities are are ordina- rily supplied in large part by local packing plants there have been price changes. Obviously the best way for the public to meet this situation is to favor other meat products which are less perishable. Carcass beef for instance. has fluctuated only l F cents a pound, and veal, mutton, poul- try. etc, have not been seriously af- fected '

OUTLAW $ BODY |S IEDB BY
 SON IF WARDEN
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased wirel


 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 1O.-On crude farm wagon in the main street of Benton, Ark. lav up to a late hour tonight the body of Tom Slaughter, escaped convict, who was slain Friday by J. c. Howard, one of the six other convicts whom the des- perado had freed late Thursday after taking charge of the state prison where he was awaiting execution for murder.
 Throngs from neighboring towns as well as citizens of Benton sought to view the body of the slain man, who, when at liberty was feared because of his daring escapades. When word reacher here today that the body had been found and was being brought to Benton curious crowds began to gather to meet the posse. which had secured the woods where it had been directed by Howard.
 The inquest will be held Monday. An examination of the body revealed three bullet wounds in the top of the head, one-near the nose and several in the neck and his left hand.
 Positive identification of the body as Slaughter was made by Edward Dempsey, son of the warden of the penitentiary, and E. c. Rotenberry, chief of police here.
 The death of Slaughter came about directly, in the opinion of prison of ficials, through the tiny flaws in plans he had laid for his escape.
 The bandit, in the death cell of the penitentiary, had planned every de- tail of his escape. He had prepared a map of every part of the prison build ipgs and yard: had accounted for every man within the walls; knew every detail of the duties of each of them and their hours of duty and the routine of the prison.

HAD OKLAHOMA RECORD

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Dec. 10. Tom Slaughter, anas Curley Stone, referred to by his Oklahoma ac- quaintances as Curley. was a pioneer in the Healdton oil field, and spent some time at the beginning of the great oil rush there as driller, ac- ccrding to information on file in the criminal court of appeals at Okla homa City.
 His Oklahoma history centers mostly about Ragtown. one of the boom centers of the original Healdton field in Carter county. His first re- corded escapade was a quarrel with the owner of a sandwich stand in Ragtown. He and his companions, the story has it, were out of employ ment and they contracted with the sandwich man to dig a "slush" hole for him. When they had finished an argument about the pay ensued, and the sandwich man was warned to leave town. He did, but not until that night, when his stand was liften and all Ragtown was invited to partici- pate in a feast ''on" Curley.
 Several stories are told Of how Slaughter left the Fealdton field, the one given most credence being that of how he took an automobile, drove 1t prietor there to write to the owner at Ragtown and let him know where his automobile was
 He was captured on his way back to the field in another automobile with load of liquor. Pleading with the officer that he was tired, but would prove his identity when they returned to Fort Worth, he was al- lowed to curl up on the rear seat of the car while the officer drove back Reaching Fort Worth the officer found his prisoner had left him.

ACCEPTS FOUR POWER TREATY
World History Made In Op en SeSSiOn Of Armament Assembly
Senator Lodge Appiauded

CT nations not present will have the opportunity if they desire to join in this action as to China.
 Senator Lodge Applsuded
 Senator Lodge was then intro duced and vigorously applauded as in scholarly English he presented the draft of the four powers Pacific trea- ty which, when constitutionally rati- fled, will abrogate the much discussed Anglo-Japanese treaty of 1911-
 He explained that the treaty is brief. simple and free from concealed meaning and embodies ne domestic issues. At the conclusion of his real ly classical address endorsing the treaty on the part of the United States delegation, the galleries burst into tumultuous applause.
 France was then called for by the presiding officer and Viviani, strong rugged figure, wearing a simple business suit, and regarded as the first orator of France. responded. He received an ovation, and speaking in French, with passionate earnestness and tremendous dramatic feeling. gave an address which stirred every auditor and amply justified the repu- tation of the patriotic and eloquent ex- Socialist. The translation of this d terpiece of the interpreters art and phrase, "We do not ask nor wish the United States to interfere in Euro pean affairs"
 Arthur Balfour, courtly. aristo- cratic, and attired in his famous Vic torian frock coat, then spoke for Great Britain. He was certainly a fine example of a stately British dip lomat. With graceful compliments to Lodge and Eiviani he explained the attitude of Great Britain and brought down the audience when he vehemently declared his profound be- lief in the permanent peaceful CO., speaking nations.
 Tokugawa Praises Pact
 Japan, in the person of the heavy and somewhat stolid looking Prince Tokugawa. then gave its endorse ment of the treaty in carefully phrased English read from manu- script, taking occasion to outline the great service previously rendered the world by the Anglo o-Japanese pact.
 The bearded representative of Italy, Senator Schanzer, added his word of endorsement rapidly fol- lowed by China. Holland, Belgium and Portugal, and after few mes; appropriate and impressive words from Secretary Hughes. who presided superbly, the great conference ad- iourned temporarily as Secretary Hughes announced that they might proceed with work which would de- velop into another step towards a permanent peace.
 This evening from every side come 1 congra tulations of the great con- stI-uctive success of the conference and the prophecy that the spirit oi cooperation for peace will continue until the great task is accomplished

trreconcilable Senators In- dicate Unfriendly Atti- tude Toward Treaty; Warm Fight Predicted
rRepuhlican A. p. Leased wIrel


 WASHINGTON Dec. 10.- Indica- tons of opposition in the senate to ratification of the four-power Pa eiffc treaty developed today shortly after the new pact was announced at the arms conference.
 Senator Reed, Democrat of Mis- eouri. an ''irreconsilable'' in the long Tight against the treaty of Versailles, In a statement denounced the new understanding as "treacherous, trea- sonable and damnable'' and predicted there would be a fight and hot cne.-
 Other senators of the irreconcil- able group, for the most part. with held comment but, speaking privately, Indicated an unfriendIy attitude to- ward the treaty. Senator Borah. of Idaho, leading Republican irrecon- ciiable was one of those declining to comment
 Republicans generally, however, crcdicted ratification by an over whelming vote and in this prediction 10 grater or less extent were joined by a number of Democrats. includ- Ing leaders on that side of the sen ate Many senators refused to com init themselves, declaring they wished to study the pact.
 Democratic senators in a number g. instances said they did not attach she Importance to the document as a peace measure that was claimed in Republican quarters and described it as -inocuous" and as having a great similarity to the League of Nations covenant.
 Some Democrats pointed to Article II which binds the signatories if their rights in the Pacific Islands ''are I~- n cfv finn Of any other power'' to communicate with one another fully and frankly sn order to arrive at an understand ing as to the most efficient measures to be taken, jointly or separately. to meet the exigencies of the particular situation" This, they said differed but little from Article X of the League covenant, which the Repub- hcans found most objectionable.
 Modelled After League Pact
 Senator Harrison of Mississippi, one of the Democratic spokesmen in the senate, in his comment said:
 -The best parts of the treaty are those provisions taken from the Leag gue of Nations covenant.
 One of the principal effects of the treaty. both Republicans and Demo- crats agreed, would be its termina- ton of the Anglo Japanese alliance.
 me real purpose or tne treaty is runningly masked by fine phrases, Senator Reed declared. It is verbal photograph of Elihu Root, but not withstanding its sugar coating, 1t is nothing more or less than quad- rilpIa alliance between Great Britain IaDan. France and the United States by which they mutually bind each other to exert their joint power for the control of the Pacific and for the maintenance of the rights of each 'ir their insular possessions and insulal dominions in the region of the Pa cific ocean,
