ENGLAND AGREES WITH
THE OPEN DOOR Poi4i.h

washington, Nov. 16 (by tip'
Associated Press. -Four features
81 the british viewpoint on Chinaa
nronosals on the Far Eastern ques-
ton were emphasized tonight by
the highest authorities:
Great Britain reiterates that snt
"a in full agreement with the ope
door policy. , - ,r-
fluence" as antiquated ana uh-
suitable to modern conditions
Th Panama canal is not re
garded as a specific question ana
will not be urged on the considera-
tion of the conference.
The Anglo japanese alliance IS
not regarded by the British as III
rectlv involved in the Chinese pro
nosals for settlement of the fai
Eastern question, although 1t may
ha drawn into the discussion later
BY the same authority, II wa
said, consideration of Far Easter''
questions will proceed at once
npon the basis Of the propositions
submitted today by the Chinese
delegates. Topics set out in tn"
Chinese plan will be referred to eX-
While the British viewpoint Is
that the Anglo-Japanese alliance Is
not directly involved in any or the
Chinese propositions submitted to-
day, the British would welcome an
agreement between the great pow
ers or even one limited to Amer
lea, Japan and Great Britain tc
rcolace it, This is founded on the
feeling that there is need for som
co-operatiye action to regulate con-
ditions in the Far East in the IN
terest of peace and prosperity.
No proposition concerning read
justment OF foreign Indebtedness
TO the United States resulting from
the war will be advanced by the
British delegates. Evidence that
the subject is not in contempla
tion for consideration is afforded
by the fact that there are no finan
cial experts attached to the Brit
ish representation. In fact, there
is every evidence that the British
. instructions contemplate a stricl
adherence to the agenda proposed
by the United States.
It is known that the French
delegation is of the same mind.

PROBLEM Of FAR
EAST IS BEFORE
THE COMM|TTE
FOR DISCUSSION
Chinese Delegates Lead the
Way and Present a Basis
for Consideration Repre-
Senting Their Views,
SYMPATHY OF AMERICA
Is AT ONCE MANIFEST
British Support Their Posi-
ton in Many Respects
Positions Of Others Not
So Clearly Defined,

Washington. Nov. 16 (by the AS
sociated Press) The Washington
conference today turned to consid-
Grafton of Far Eastern questions
with almost the same momentum
with which it tackled naval arma-
ments.
It was the Chinese delegates who
led the way this time. In the COM
mittee of nine, at which all nations
participating were represented
they produced a basis for discus
sion which represents their views
The open sympathy OF the Unit
ed States with their position was
at once manifest. British support
ed it in many respects. The posi-
tions OF the others were not Sc
clearly defined. although members
OF the Japanese delegation nave
given expression of approval, IN
part at least. Of China's dill OF
rights"
What China Wants.
In brief China wants guarantees
for territorial integrity and politl-
cal and administrative independ-
ence; she proposes the open door
for all in all parts of the country
she wants all spheres of influence
relinquished; she wants no treaties
made affecting her without being
consulted.
The full extent of China's posi-
ton is much broader than this, pu'
these are the essentials. The las'
feature may be construed as al
fecting the Anglo-Japanese all
snce, although the British take an
opposite view. -,
Todays session of the big nine
was occupied with the presentation
Of China's views. Immediately
, afterward it became known they
commanded the moral support OF
the United States. The British
viewpoints were made known a III.
tle later. The Japanese did no'
state their reaction but previous
announcements by some or theli
representatives have put them "
line with some parts OF emma
proposals. .o ,sfa,rs

while the committee of admlrais

BURCH MENTALLY
.UNBAL ANCE D, IS
LAWYERS CLAIM
Says Accused Slayer of
Kennedy Told Him a
Weird Story Of Attempt
of His Wife to Kill Him.

Chicago, Nov. 16.--C. S. McNett
of Evanston, friend and former le-
gal adviser of the family Of Arthur
'C. Burch, held at Los Angeles for
murder, today signed a deposition
in support of the claim that Burch
is insane, in which he says Burch
told him weird story in Febru-
ary, 1920 of an attempt by Mrs.
Allie Quayle Burch to kill him.
Mrs. Burch, the daughter of Bish-
op Quayle, recently obtained a d.
Vorce.
The deposition says Burch
claimed his wife had attempted to
murder him in bed and had then
talked with what she thought was
his spirit in an effort to get his
impressions of the future life. Mr..
McNetts statement says he drew
up a divorce bill on the strength
of this story, at Burch's request
but after talking to Mrs. Burch
dismissed the matter as the product
of a diseased brain.
"Ycss, i am Dead"
"In February, 1920, Burch came
10 me-" the statement said, land
told me his wife, Mrs. Allie Quayle
Burch, had tried to kill him. He
said he was lying in bed when ne
felt a hand close on his throat, He
placed his own hand beneath this
and his wife squeezed his hand
then and not his throat. Finally
she asked are you dead"
.Burch said he replied; yes l
am dead
Mrs. Burch is then supposed to
have asked: 80,
"'How does 1t feel to be deadT
"Burch replied that it wasn't so
bad
Then Mrs. Burch felt her hus--
bands heart. 1t was beating. All
this according to Burch. She told
him You are not dead, you are
warm and your heart is beating.
Buch replied he was dead but
hadn't got cold yet
"You'rc Not Dead Mt AL"
"Then Mrs. Burch is supposed to
have said: We'll, l am going down
stairs and get the shears and XIII
YOUR father and mother Burch
said he thought the farce had gone
far enough. He jumped out OF bed
and his wife exclaimed: why, you
have been fooling me-Youre not
dead at ALL"
Mr.. McNett said he was con-
WINGED that Burch was insane nj
the time he made the statement,
and that nothing of the sort hao
occurred.

AMERICAN PROPOSALS
AREN'T FAR REACHING
ENOUGH, SAYS FORD

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 16.--Amerl-
can proposals for the naval reduc-
ton represented step in the right
direction but are not far reaching
enough, Henry Ford declared here
today. He added. however. that
th> Hughes proposals will tend
not only I'd restore public confi-
d . ce but will raise public expecta-
tions that further steps will be
taken toward ultimate disarma-
ment."
1t is his view that the material
that goes into the construction OF
battleships and other implements
of naval warfare could be more
adyantageously devoted to the
manufacture of agricultural imple-
n.ents and other peace time neces-
stiles.

THE "PRINCE"

Principal Jackson was very popu-
lar among the students Of Victor
High. He was known as the man
who believed in the square deal,
and many were his students that
accepted him as their ideal to pat
tern after.
So, when he, in a stern voice, re-
quested that Sam Stevens and Slim
Perkins accompany him 70 his Of
flee, Sam felt sure that they would
get full justice.
Now then, Sam, tell me just
what happened today" The three
were seated in Mr.. Jackson's priv
ate office, behind closed door. On
one side of the principals desk sat
Slim.
On the other side sat Sam Stew
ems. There was a contrast between
the two boys. While Sam was not
what is sometimes called model
youth, he was or the type you like
to meet. Slim was not-but Slim
had his good points. He merely
had allowed the bad to predomin-
ate.
At Mr. Jackson's suggestion that
Sam tell of the days occurrences
which meant the fight, of course
Slim whinced slightly. He realized
that If Sam told the truth it would
mean more trouble for Slim Perk-
ins was in no position to take on
any more such affairs. He already
had more trouble than he could
handle
Sam also realized this. There
fore, he was in Quandry. Should
he tell the truth or should he not?
He didn't want to peach" and yet
he didn't want to deliberately lie.
Mr.. Jackson, he thought to himself,
wouldn't lie
That's it-what would Mr.. Jack
son do under the same circum-
stances?

Two days later they found them
selves in New Mexico in sight of

tains, and Star said that by three
o'clock they would be at Las Vegas,
where their journey was to end.
"And I shan't be sorry, for my legs

They were met at Las Vegas by
Mr.. Wilder, who had been very
much worried about them. since he
heard of the wreck they had been
in. But his fears were laid at rest
when he saw them. for both had
come through in fine shape and had
stood the trip splendidly.
The next morning Billy was tied
to a wagon filled with groceries
and provisions for Mr.. Wilder's

while Star with his master on his
