and all such or future claims not so
made known are TO be deemed null
and void. The rights, privileges, i'm
munities and commitments, now known
or to be declared are to be examined
with a view to determining their
scope and validity and, If valid, to
harmOnizing them with one another
and with the principles declared by
their conference.
SO. Immediately or as soon as cir
cumstances will permit, existing lin
ltations upon China's political juris-
dictiOnal and administrative freedom
Of action are TO be removed.
sc. Reasonable, definite terms of
duration are to be attached to China's
present commitments which are with
out time limits.
az. In the Interpretation of inStru-
ments granting special rights or prin-
ciples, the well-established principle of
construction that such grants shall be

China as Neutral.
IS. China's rights as a neutral are
to be fully respected in future wars to
which she is not a party.
'9. Provision is to be made for
peaceful settlement of international
disputes in the Pacific and the Far
East.
40. Provision is to be made for the
future conference to be held from time
to time for the discussion of interna-
tiOnal questions relative TO the Pa
cific and the Far East, as a basis for
the determination Of common policies
of the signatory powers in relation
thereto"
The proposals were accompanied by
the following general statement:
Plea to Powers
"China is anxious to play her part
not only in maintaining peace, but in
promoting the material advancement
and the cultural development of all
the nations. She wishes to make her
vast natural resources available to all
peoples who need them, and in re-
turn to receive the benefits of free
and equal intercourse with them. In
order that she may do this, it is nee
essary that she should have every pos
sible opportunity to develop her po-
iitical institutions in accordance with
the genius and needs of her own peo-
pie.
"China is now contending with GER
tain difficult problems which necessar-
lily arise, when any country makes a
radical change in her form of govern
ment.
"These problems she will be able to
solve if given the opportunity to do
so. This means not only that she
should be freed from the danger or
threat of foreign aggression, but that,
so far as circumstances will possibly
permit, she be relieved from limita-
tionS which now deprive her autOnOm-
Gus administrative action and prevent
her from securing adequate public rev.
enues."

der the Jurisdiction of the Forest Pre-
serve Board.
About a year ago the Preserve
Board sought to obtain 5000 acres of
the Skokie land and had purchased a
considerable part of it when some of
the owners refused to sell their hold
ings. The board then sought to obtain
the property by condemnation proceed

taking possession Of the land After
hearing twenty-nine objectors to the
petition Judge Righeimer ruled it out
of court.
The board intends to build a golf
course, create an artificial lake on the

the charge against him.
Throughout the entire day the game
of battledOre and shuttlecock went on,
Gavin McNab for the defense and
Milton U'Ren for the prosecution toss
ing the prospective jurors back and
forth between them and seeking by
shrewd questions to learn the state
of mind of the men and women whose
names came from the big box on Judge
Louderback's desk.
In speaking of the now famous
party at the st. Francis hotel, McNab
has at last evolved a term that suits
him, concerning the participants. He
calls them "convisial persons" and
asks the jurors If the fact that 'liquor
was present in what may prove to be
q technical violation of the VOlStead
act'' will prove handicap to them In
trying the defendant for manslaughter.
ArbuckIe's Chair in Eclipse.
U'Ren has certain trenchant phrases
which he delights in using. One of them
relates to Arbuckle's abrupt descent
from his throne of fame" and every
time he says it he turns slightly in
his chair as if to see the fat defendant
suuirm. Thus far he has been disap-
pointed. Roscoe doesn't like the term
but bears up under it with equanimity.
The chair on which he sits is at all
times in a state of total eclipse. Per
haps he doesn't dare squirm.
One woman, who had declared her
self to have an open mind, was ques-
toned about certain remarks she is
alleged to have made to a friend in
which she said she thought Arbuckle
innocent She denied the impeach-
ment and said she wanted to be on
the Arbuckle jury ''in order to have a
chance to hear such wonderful lawyers

1t was subtle but it didn't work.
The state challenged her and she lost

Judge George F. Rush on Monday
ruled that the Municipal pier leases
granted by the City of Chicago to the
Pageant of Progress were void in over
ruling the demurrer filed by the Off
cials of the Pageant to bill for an
accounting of the $350,000 profits in
which Attorney Samuel Grossman, as
a taxpayer, asks that the money be
turned over to the city treasury.
In his ruling, however, the court
held that the bill of complaint did not
set up cause to justify the appoint
ment of a receiver. He gave Mr.. Gross
man ten days to amend his bill, and
stated that it was the opinion of the
court that the leases to the Municipal
pier were void.

afternoon chat with a group of his
political allies.

them, they will be scattering the load

The mayor was careful to declare
that he does not necessarily stand
against subways if they are planned,
constructed, and operated by trustees
elected under his transportation plan.
Under that plan," he asserted, "a
trustee can run on a subway platform.
on a monorail platform, or on any
other sort of a traction platform, and

Chicago advocates of municipal own
ership of public utilities are happy
over the fact that the United States
Supreme Court has upheld the right
of the city of Springfield, ILL.,, to op-
crate its municipal gas plant and sell
its product without compliance with
the law requiring a report to the Illi-
nOis state public utilities commission.
The. city's power to operate it's gas
plant without compliance with the
state law was attacked by the Spring
field Gas and Electric Company in an
appeal to the Supreme Court
The lower courts in Illinois held
that by the terms of the state law mu-
nicipal corporations owning and oper
ating such plants were exempt from
the law and from the supervision OF
the state public utilities commission.

thrills are number due to rescue

For example, silk rescues girl
from a ruffin's insults by throwing the
ruffin off a speeding train. He res
cues this same girl later from bunch
of city thugs in a cafe. He rescues the
heroine from a big rattlesnake on his
ranch by his accurate long distance
aim with a rifle. He rescues her again
in the city when she falls before a
stampeding steer at the stockyards.
And he saves from death in city park
little girl who is hanging head down
on her runaway pony. Also he is kept
tolerably busy rescuing himself from
his enemies.
When Mix isn't rescuing somebody

FIRST COPIES OF LET
.FR BUCK REACH CITY

Filled with the thrill of track and
arena, breathing the atmosphere of
the Old West and telling the story OF
pendleton's own Roundup, Colonel
Charles Wellington Furlong's book,
Let 'er Buck" arrived in Pendleton
today a thousand copies strong.
From the slogan and the picture of
Bill Mahaffey on IL which decorates
the cover of the volume, to the last
printed page, the book holds the fas-
cination and appeal Characteristic of
the great outdoor show of the West.
1t is a narrative history which will de-
light Americans. The action and pep
of the Roundup have not been lost
in the telling and the book is indeed
the official story of the western pas
sion play.
Fifty excellent illustrations, taken
amid the rush and dash of the
Roundup are used. Aiding much to
their realism are the essays which
Colonel Furlong has written and
which tell briefly the story of the pic
lures.
Names of scores of Pendleton citi-
zens and of Roundup performers are
found in the pages both in text and in
pictures. The late Sheriff T'ilman d.
Taylor who met his tragic death a
year ago, is the topic for one chapter.
The shipment received today has
been distributed among local business
men. Additional volumes will arrive
here later.
