WILSON ACTION
0NF0UR-P0WER.
DEAL EXPECTED
Signs of Revamping De-
cision as to Main Jap
Islands to Suit Toxic.
Mediation by u. S. and
Britain Suggested as
Shantung Solution.

Washington, Dec. 29.-(By The AS
sociated Press)-Joseph. P. Tumulty,
secretary to President Wilson in the
last administration, was closeted Thurs
day for an hour with Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho.
Mr.. Borah declined to talk of the
meeting but it was ascertained, how
ever, that the Pacific agreement was
discussed at some length. The Idaho
senator said that he had enjoyed
Joe's visit very much
The conference attracted wide at
tention and gave impetus to speculation
as to what attitude may be taken by
the former president.
Thus far, no intimation Of Mr.. Will
sons opinion of the treaty or other
conference issues has figured in con-
ference circles. 1t is known, how
ever, that he has taken a keen inter
est in all that has transpired. and
some of his friends are said to believe
that he may in some way make his
position known before very long.
Japs Suggest Mediation
All the other naval and far eastern
discussions before the arms conference
remained at standstill during the day
except for an intimation from the Jap
anese that only mediation by the Unit
ed States and Great Britain could save
the Shantung negotiations from final
deadlock 1t was declared both for
the Japanese and Chinese that their
governments had gone as far as pos
sible toward a compromise, and hope of
settlement was seen only in the pos
sibility that some new element could be
injected into the conversations.
In regard to the generally considered
settled conference problem-the new
four power Pacific treaty-there are
signs of revived discussion among the
delegates, because of the suggestion of
Japan that some action be taken to
clarity the scope of the agreement in
its relation to the major islands of the
japanese empire. Baron Shidehara of
the japanese delegation, after a dis
cussion of the subject with Secretary
Hughes, took the Japanese request to
Arthur ]. Balfour, head of the British,
and it was said, afterward, that some
definite Qualification scheme might be
brought forward formally in the near
future.
May Interpret Pact by Notes
In view of the difference of opinion
of the treaty's scope between President
Harding and the American delegates,
the Japanese think there at least
should be an exchange of formal notes
among the four powers, setting forth
the meaning of the pact beyond dis
pute. They are said to desire that the
main japanese group of islands be not
included under the treaty, but, on the
other hand, the British desire that Aus
tralia and New Zealand shall be within
It's scope.
Although the senate is not in session.
schoes Of the proposed fight on ratifi-
cation Of the four power agreement
continue to reach the delegates. In
.ormal statement, Thursday, Senator
King, democrat, Utah, referred to the
,reaty and set forth summary of what
le called the monumental failures" of
he Washington negotiations.

Must Deal With Air Warfare.
A dispute over phraseology blocked
formal adoption of an affirmatory res
olntion, and the subject was laid aside
for consideration by special sub-com-
mittee on drafting. The naval commit
teen itself then began what promised
to be a prolonged debate over the
American proposal to prohibit use of
submarines against merchant vessels
altogether.
Meantime, the SUBJ committee on air
craft decided to abandon any effort to
limit the airplane strength of the pow
ers and to recommend, instead, that
an attempt be made to agree on re-
strictions that would make air war
fare conform with considerations of
humanity, Even such regulations
however, were SAID to be considered by
subcommittee members as difficult of
formation.
Capital Ship Ghost Rising.
There were indications that the
naval experts of the various powers
were far from an agreement on the
proposal that airplane carriers be linn
tied, and all the foreign delegations
were waiting on further instructions as
to the American proposal TO establish
10000 tons as the maximum size for
any auxiliary warship.
There also was halt on remaining
details of the capital ship agreement
itself, proposed meeting of experts to
work out a replacement chart being
postponed until later in the week.

only to the purchase of the American
Brass company by the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company, came official
confirmation Thursday of the deal that
will bring the zinc concentrates of the
Butte Superior mine at Butte to Great
Falls for treatment. When the pur-
chase of the brass concern was still in
tentative stage, this transaction was
well advanced and would have, with

zinc possible at present prices through
the elimination of freight charges to
points to which the mine previously
shipped.

Charles Booking, manager of the
Butte Superior, in statement at
Butte. said that Butte Superior in the
past has shipped its zinc concentrates
in various directions to different mar
kets. but for the present will ship its
entire output of concentrate to the

announcement of the Anaconda com
paay stated that the management ex-
poets to purchase sufficient zinc con-
centrates to produce from 100000 to
I 100000 pounds of zinc a month at
the Great Falls plant.
The ore now in sight for the local
zinc plant will furnish employment for
between 800 and 400 men in that de-
partment of the reduction works, and
nearly 80 men have been placed on
the payroll there since the deal with
the Butte Superior was completed.

Washington. Dec 29.-(By The AS
soeiated Press "A resolution by
Elihu Root, reaffirming existing rules
of naval warfare for surface craft and
strict application of this code to sub
marines operating against merchant
craft was accepted in principle Thurs

Mr.. Roots second proposal, that a
new rule of international law be initi-

Der of the American delegation and

other delegations still are to be heard

In the form in which the first pro
