TREATY RIGHTS
Asks Withdrawal of Foreign

By Pact; Consideration
Goes Over Until Today.

Washington, Nov. 2s (by the

for the withdrawal of foreign
troops, not sanctioned by treaty,
from Chinese territory, was pre-
sented before the Far Eastern

Coupled with the Chinese pro-
posal was a request for the re-
moval of unauthorized police sta"
tions and telegraph and wireless
installations.
The Chinese delegation. 1t is
understood, based its argument
virtually on that presented at
Versailles by the Chinese peace
delegation, but included data COW
ering events of the past two years.
DR.. Alfred Sze said China con-
fined its request to encroachments
on her sovereignty not sanctioned
by treaty. When the proper place
on the agenda was reached, he
added, the delegation was expect
ed to make it's plea for the re-

HARRINGTON IS
BEING HELD ON
MPEN|CH CASE
Lucy Harrington Arrested at
Chilli in Connection With
Eugene KempeniCh Death
Mystery.

Lucy Harrington was arrested at
Chilli about midnight Sunday in
connection with the death of Eu-
gene Kempenich, who was found
dead at his home at Peralta on Oc-
tober 7, with bullet wound
through his chest. The arrest was
made by Deputy Sheriff Charles
Banghart, Sheriff Tondre, of Los
Lunas, and Ben Williams, a private
detective from Ell Paso, who has
been chasing clews regarding the
death, which he believes to have
been murder instead of suicide,
as many officials in this part of the
state have been led to believe.
Working On a theory of Private
Detective Williams which involves
Mr.. Harrington. Deputy Sheriff
Banghart and others in the city
have been shadowing Harrington
for some time. AS far as could be
learned yesterday, any motive
which Harrington might have for
committing such crime is remote
to the farthest degree, coming from
a crime committed some time ago
in which 1t Is thought Kempenich
for the conviction of the
man charged with it, who was a
friend or relative of Harrington's.
Several other arrests are ex-
pected with a short time, all Of
them, 1t Is understood coming
from the clew which the private
detective is following. Mr. Will
Jams, 1t Is reported, was employed
after the death of Eugene
kempenich by relatives of the de-
ceased.
The officers arrived in Albuquer-
que with their prisoner and imme-
diately went on to Los Lunas, where
he was placed in the county Jail
pending further investigation.
Eugene Kempenich, who was
state highway commissioner at the
time of his death. was found on the
morning of october on the floor
Of his bedroom at his Peralta home.
He was lying on his back and a
bullet was found to have passed
completely through his chest. His
revolver was lying under his right
hand. Examination of the revol-
yer proved puzzling, to such an ex-
tent that some people claimed 1t
had been fired recently and others
that 1t had not been fired Tor
months.
The entire death was shrowded
IN mystery and many officials wno
have been connected with the case
are still undecided as to how the
tragedy occurred.

FLEET LIMITING
PLAN Of HUGHES
IS WITHOUT ANY
TECHNICAL FLAW
American Basic Offer Of a
1858" Naval Ratio Has
Stood Every Test Applied
By the Experts.
FULL COMMITTEE TO
HEAR REPORT TODAY
Analysis Of the Major EIe-
nnentS Of the Proposals
Have Been Completed;
U, S. Officials Hopeful,
(By The Associated Prcss.)

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Definite
steps toward principles of Secre-
tary Hughes proposals for q naval
building holiday and naval limita-
ton thereafter may result tomor-
row from the meeting of the full
committee of naval experts to
which the task of detailed eXamin-
alton of the plan was referred.
The experts have completed their
analysis of the major elements of
the plan and it can be said author
itatiyely for the American group.
that no technical flaw in the
Hughes proposals has been re-
vealed.
American Basic Offer.
The American basic offer of
"5-5-3" naval ratio between Great
Britain the United States and
Japan, has stood, in American opin-
ion, every test of fact applied by
the experts. 1t embodied no mis-
takes or errors of calculations. And
it is tonight, as it was the day Sec
retary Hughes announced 1t, the
hub of the whole matter.
The American experts are ex-
peeted to report that the basis or
the fact underlying the American
plan was as stated. What action
British or Japanese experts may
take is not known. Tho report,
however, will clear the way for
action by the conference on the
principles.
American officials are very hope
full that the utterances of A. j.
Balfour for the British group, and
of Admiral Kato for the Japanese,
in replying to Secretary Hughes,
will prove to have been acceptances
Of the principles of the American
proposal. They were widely con-
strued in that way at the time, but,
necessarily, whatever was then said
was subject to an agreement as to
the fact upon which the plan was
predicated, In the American view,
these facts have been sustained.
Naval experts were still asking
and answering questions today. but
there are understood to have had TO
do with the subsidiary elements OF
the plan. The capital ship figures
were apparently beyond the stage
of technical discussion and ready
for translation into formal agree
ment at an early date. All ele-
ments of the scheme hinge on that
factor.
Next in interest to the "5-5-3"
ratio proposal has stood the discus
sion as to the status Of the Japan
ese battleship Mitsu. There was
authoritative indication in Ameri--
can circles that this was regarded
as of secondary importance, pro-
vided any proposal for retention or
the Mitsu did not alter the "5-e-S
relative standing as between the
United States and Japan.
1t was suggested informally that
IL Japan was bent on keeping the
Mitsu, she might possibly negotiate
an agreement to do so by offering
to scrap instead, one of the four
battle cruisers she would retain
under the American plan.
