FORMS PROPOSED
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Out OF
the maze Of rumors and reports of
alliances, agreements, ententes and
understandings with which Washing
ton has been filed for a week past,
came today the positive declaration
from an official source thac the ad-
ministration is contemplating l.o re
alignment of powers here that by
any chance can be termed an "al
lance" or an "entente."
1t is not denied that suggestions have
been made to the American delegation
that both Great Britain and Japan would
welcome the scrapping Of the Anglo.
japanese alliance and the substitution OF
tri-partite agreement TO take it's place
Such suggestions have been made but
the talking has mostly been done by Brit
ish and japanese sources.
What the American delegation has in
mind, and what probably will be brought
TO completion out of the present confer
ence, Is not an alliance" or an ZEN
eente' 1t was said, but a series of treaties
or notes, confirming the decisions that
are reached here, all Of which will be
submitted 10 the United States Senate fol-
approval or ratification.
According TO the Informant Il has not
yet been decided just what form the flnal
action OF the conference will be put into
that Is, whether It will be treaties. proto-

STRIKE FLOPS.'
BUT PRICES OF

Workmen of North America opened. Of

panies gave out statements that 90 per
cent of their employees were at work.
The crisis in the strike was expected TO
come today when union representatives
were expected to attempt TO get other
employees to desert the plants.
Despite the claims Of the packers, who
declare the walkout, so far as Chicago
is concerned, has been failure. pack
ing house salesmen are asking prices
from TO cents higher for pork. City
food authorities declare this advance IN
pork is unwarranted.
Conflicting claims as to the number OF
men involved in the strike here came
from opposing camps. The packers assert
only a few hundred men are on strike
Union leaders declare more than twelve
thOusapd men are ont here.
According TO Dennis Lane, secretary OF
the union. 10000 walked out in cities out

STATE HOLDS ACT
WAS DELIBERATE.
The State, In building up its case
against her, contends that she deliberately
shot her husband, after Kirofr had found
her IN her own bedroom with u strange
man. The State has failed to introduce
any witness who actually saw a strange
man enter the kiroff home on the night
Of the tragedy.
The State attaches much importance to
the fact that Detective Sergeant Lewis
Fossati found a Serbian stick pin on the
bed following the tragedy. The State
by witnesses showed that Carl Kiroff
was n Bulgarian and not a Serbian and
that the two countries were at odds dur
ing the World War The pin was de-
scribed as having a Serbian flag on II
and the State contends that Kirof told
the detectives that he never owned such
a pin and never saw It before.
Attorney Wetter has intimated in
questions Put to the witnesses OF the
State that Carl had won the Serbian pin
and a watch with a Serbian emblem on
1t In ''craps" game. Deny Dumcofr, a
Bulgarian, 52O Goodlet avenue, and 7. g..
PopcheE, 561 West Washington street,
both of whom were born In the same
town In Turkey with Carl Kiroff, testi-
fed that Kiroff never associated with
Serbians and that they never had seen
him wear such pin nor never heard
that Carl had won 1t In a dice game.

MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Dec. 0.-Mrs.
Nellie Kiroff. 20, 2s21 West Michigan
street, Indianapolis, charged with the
child, took the witness stand here today
to tell the jury OF eleven Morgan County
farmers and one business man of the
tragedy on July 10, last which caused
the death of Carl Kiroff. her husband.
Dressed in a blue middle blouse and
blue skirt, and wearing a brown turban
similar to those worn by schoolgirls,
Mrs. Kirof faced the ordeal
The contention of Paul Wetter, coun-
sci for the defense and pauper attorney
for Marion County, Is that Nellie Kiroff,
married Carl Kiroff did not intend to
kill her husband, but feared that her hus-
band would assault her. He will con-
tend that she accidentally pulled the
trigger and sent Carl Kirof to his grave.
DEFENDANT SOON
TO BECOME MOTHER.
In his opening statement to the Jury
Mr.. Wetter argued that Mrs. Kirof soon
would become a mother; that there was
no evidence introduced by the State to
show that she had planned the murder
Of her husband, and that the State has
failed to prove that a strange man was
In the bedroom with Mrs. Kiroff when
Kiroff returned shortly after IL O'clock
on the night of the tragedy.

Cleveland Humane System
Shows How Indianapolis

A picture Of what the Indianapolis Hu-
name Society might be accomplishing
in the prevention of cruelty to animals
and in the Advancement of child welfare
were it not in the control of reactionaries
led by DR., c. A. Pfafflin, chairman of the
executive committee, is contained In a
report upon the work done by the Cleve-
land Humane Society and the Cleveland
Animal Protective League gathered by
John c. Pitts, deputy poundmaster OF
the city dog pound, in a recent visit to
the ohio metropolis.
Mr., Pitts was sent to Cleveland by the
progressive group which is to reorganize
the Indianapolis Humane Society along
lines which will be of some real benefit
to the community. The report is OF
especial interest in view of the fact that
the present officers of the society are
seeking an appropriation of $1,000 from
the community chest.

One Of the points in Mr.. Pitts report
Of great interest to Indianapolis is that

The mayor refused TO deliver the money
and the ringleaders threatened to help
themselves.
All available police were rushed to the
danger spots and more than one hundred

All the principal streets are under po.

over the possibility that the Communist

the National road today with a bullet
wound in his left side. He died before

Hagerstown, Md, which led them to be-
leve he had written her that he intended

is in direct contrast to the attitude of
the controlling forces in the local society.
The reactionary group has endeavored

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The House

not to frame the 1923 Army appropria-

limitation of armament had reached a
final agreement upon the reduction of

congressional circles to indicate a belief
that an understanding looking to de-

.KATO RESENTS
JAPAN
SEEKS TERMS
Charge of Bargaining
Contrary to Facts,
He Says.
DELAY ESSENTIAL
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelnhia Public Ledzer.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Japan Bit
teriy resents the innuendos that she
is sparring for time and haggling for
better terms at the conference. Ad-
miral Baron Kato, chief Of the Nip
ponese delegation, in a terse per-
sonal statement, resented such "un-
worthy imputations. He declared
they are not leveled on any authority
within the conference" and cate
gorically branded them as contrary
to the facts"
The period Of delay now in force at
Japan's instigation is due exclusively,
Admiral Kato claims, to the necessity
of exhaustive communication with the
Toxic government. Asked how long an
interval might be expected to elapse be-
fore Japan's decisions on the naval ra-
ito and other critical issues. the Ad-
miral hazarded the guess that "a week
at the outside" would suffice.
BREATHING SPACE DUE TO
AMERICAN CONNIVANCE.
The writer has reason to believe the
breathing space allotted Japan is Of
di- t American connivance. The Sei-Yu-
KaI political party, now in control Of
the Toxic government, is having hard
shedding. Bye-electiOns have gone against
it in recent times. Premier Hara's as
sassination pulled one Of its chief props
away. Not only are questions Of vital
importance to present-day Japan and
future generations of her people at stake,
hnf ha raoIiffcQI forfnnae oP fha nrUap-
ization to which Baron Kato is respon-
sible hang in the balance. He has to
make good" at Washington to save his
party, as well as to safeguard the sa-
cred interests OF Japan.
The men at the head Of affairs in the
United States understand Baron Kato's
position. They are not going to crowd
him. He is Being given time to fortify
it. The respite is granted in full con-
viction that things thus win work out
Oest for all concerned.
STATEMENT OF
BARON KATO.
The text of Baron Kato's statement
follows:
THE question of limitation Of naval
armaments involves issues of far-reach-
ing effect upon the national and inter
national life of Japan and on the policies
of great powers for decades to come and
perhaps permanently. These issues
should be brought to the full knowledge
and consideration of the Japanese gov
ernmont before definite action is taken.
Unfortunately there are at present seri-
Gus delays on the cables, and naturally
the consultation with Toxic on such i'm
pOrtant problems can not be completed
in too short a space of time.
In any case. I am, as 1 always have
been, firmly convinced the conference
