| liberations and another session of the

delegations on, the Shantung question
were the only scheduled activities on
the arms conference program for the

ends tomorrow.
With negotiations on the naval ratio
question still awaiting definite state
ment of the position of the japanese
government speculation eentered to-
day on the question of what extent, if
at all, political considerations may
have entered into the naval question
as referred to Toxic by Admiral Baron
kato following Fridays conference Of
the naval "big three"
In estimating that II might be a
week before he could receive full re-
ply from his government, Baron Kato
declared in a statement last night that
the naval question involved issues of
'far-reaching effect upon the national
and international life of JAPAN" which
should be brought 20 the full knowl-
edge of the Japanese government be-
fore definite action is taken.
The possibility of political issues be-
coming more and more involved in the
naval phase Of the negotiations was
definitely connected in some quarters
to-day with the increased attention
which some Of the conference delega-
tions are known TO be giving to the sug-
gestion of three or four power agree
ment to replace the Anglo-Japanese al
lance While there has been no for
NAL presentation of the plan in any
form to the conference. there are indi-
cations that the japanese delegates and
perhaps the British as well, may be
king II up prospectively with the
naval ratio question in consulting on
the latter with their governments The
American delegates are known to ad-
here to their expectation that the nav
al issue viii be settled without predi-
cation on any political Heterogeneous.

BECAME RICHER BY $1,000

Boston, Dee. 8.--William G.
Webster of Newburyport came
here to-day seeking market
for chunk of ambergris which
he had found on the beach at
Plum island, near the mouth Of
the Merrimacls river. Ambergris,
a waxy secretion from the sperm
whale, is used in making per-
fumes and is scarce. The chunk
found by Webster weighs about
two and one-half pounds. Ex-
perts who appraised it declared
its value to be from ST. 200 to
$1,000 It Is found usually only
in warmer waters.
A whale was observed off
Plum island beach about two
months ago and 1t il believed
probable the ambergris in ques-
tion came from this whale.

CITY NAY CUT WOOD
ON WILLI4MSTOWN LOT
Toboggan Chute on Trow Hill Seems
to Be Assured--Police Chief Re-
ports 10 Arrests in November.

Those super flies in the toboggan
chute ointment of the Board of Trade
winter sports committee, Nelson ant
Camp streets, appear removed at last
Exit injunctions, petitions, threats
speculation and explanations and en-
ter permit from city council to ths
committee to cross the streets with the
proposed slide provided the flow of wa.
ter in the cutters is cared for, that
necessary precautions against accident
be taken and that there are no legal
! objections to the project.
| Petitions from the Board of Trade
and from the landowners in the vicin-
| ity of the two streets were read to the
council, and Secretary I. w. Bradley
and Arthur L. Averill from the board
were present and explained what they
desired. Mr. Bradley said the commit
tee would station men at each street
where the slide win cross, to prevent
accidents. He said that after an ex-
haustive investigation the committee
had decided that Trow hill was the
best site for the chute and that as per-
mission had been received from all
landowners to install the slide the only
obstacle was the fact that the two
streets must be crossed. An adverse
opinion from the city attorney is the
only possible obstacle now standing in
the way and it is not probable that
anything illegal will be found in the
plan.
The report uf Chief Of Police James
w. Sullivan for November was read
and showed that 10 arrests were made.
Permits were granted TO DIR. II. ii.
Reid to build small addition TO a
garage on Abbott avenue and to keep
horse at the same place.
The question of what should be done
to the Williamstown woodlot, owned
by the city, was brought up and, upon
advice of Alderman Mccarthy, the
matter was turned over to Water SUI
perintendent s. L. Ruggles to be dis
cussed with the water committee of

all continents are restored to stable
order and normal relationship
Turning to domestic problems, the
president urgently recommended early
enactment of the permanent tariH and

announced that later on he would make
some recommendation about renewed
consideration of the tax program, in.
volving further reductions and the
abolition of "hindering burdens He
