Washington, Dec. 2S.-The draft Of
an agreement providing for an up
ward revision Of the Chinese customs
tariff drawn UP by Chairman Under
wood and presented yesterday to the
subcommittee of the Washington con-
ference dealing with this question.
was adopted in principle today, but
in somewhat changed form. At
another session, the draft is expected
formally to be agreed to after it has
been put in final shape. Two or
three days will be required, it was
said, to put into writing the many
intricate and involved details.
In effect, China will be granted a
five per cent ad yalorem rate, it was
surtax, as soon as a new ad valorem
schedule can be worked out by tariff
experts which would bring the pres
ent nominal five per cent tariff up to
the effective figure.
This cannot be done. however, it
was explained by a Chinese delegate
tonight, in time to make the new
ate with the surtax effective by Jan

In addition, the subcommittee
agreed there SHOULD be periodic re-
vision OF the tariff schedule on the
basis Of the seven and one-half rate in
order that the ad valorem basis be
kept up to date. A future conference,
1t was added, would be provided for
out a plan for the adjustment of the
Likin (Chinese internal tax) so that
a twelve and one-half per cent tariff
might be permitted in China.

GREAT INCREASE
In AVIATION
Civilian Flying in Middle
west Becomes Much
More General.

Chicago, Dec. ga great increase
in civilian flying in the middle west
ern and southwestern states is report
ed by Representative of the aeronau-
teal. chamber of commerce of Amer
lea, who has just completed an extern
sive tour, several, thousand miles Of
which were traversed by airplane.
Approximately a score of flying
meets have been held at various points
throughout the United States during
the past year, but the larger and
more significant of these were in IL
linois, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Indi-
ana and Texas.
Many Planes Entered. y.
Most Of the flying meets were con-
Quoted under the initiative or patron
age of the various chambers Of COM
merce. At these vents more than
800 planes were entered, flying ap-
proximately SOC, 900 miles. and carry
ing, during the various brief exhibit
ton periods around $1,000 passengers.
Half a million people witnessed the
tournaments, the largest Of which
were the American Legion meet at
Kansas City, Mo-. and the Pulitzer
trophy ace at Omaha. Neb.
1t is estimated by the ~aeronautical
chamber Of commerce. that probably
one-half Of the twelve hundred air
craft believed to be in commercial
operation in the United States are to
be found in the Mississippi, Ohio and
Missouri river valleys Colorado, Mon
tana, the Dakotas, Oklahoma and
Texas.
The west is the big immediate field

for civilian flying" in the opinion of
the aeronautical chamber of com
merce representative. New trans
p%ortation is desired. Vast distances,
comparatively Inadequate highway ia
cilities fo{ motor transport and with
railways in many sections restricted
principally to the main trunk lines,
permit exceptional opportunities for
convincing demonstration OF aerial
efficiency. Ranchers, oil men, physi-
clans, travelling statesmen for the great
distributing houses, and an increasing
number of big executives who want
to save time in travelling and yet feel
1t necessary to travel to keep in direct
touch with their affairs, are employ
ing airplanes in their daily work. The
lack of federal regularity law-and
the consequent lack of proper termin-
al facilities, signalling Inc meteorolo-
gical services-has been a severe ham
dicap, but this is about to be removed
by legislation recommended by the
president. The fact is that these
meets have proven c~onclusively that
the general public is beginning to ac-
cept the airplane for what it is worth
to recognize in it a medium of eff
cient nj speedy transport"

Ballerina of the Royal Opera, of Buda-
pest arrived in New York on her first
trip to America, stayed there two
weeks and moved on without doing
anything but. sightseeing and learning
to speak some English. It was left for
her c%ountrymen in Cleveland to dis
cover her and bring her forth into
the limelight. When it was discovered.
by the thousands of Hungarians in
Cleveland that the great Pally Anna
was visiting in their midst they rose
up en- mas and asked, begged, plead
ed and demanded that she dance for
them "just once"
After meeting the famous little
dancer one knows that she could new
er say no. to such a request, and so
she consented to dance for one week.
The H%ungarians of Cleveland are
happy and Pally Anna is. more than
happy. In her little dressing

from the old world and new friends

but the relations between the United
States and Japan, ChonosukeI Yada.
consul-general Of Japan here, told the
Hawaii Laborers' association, former
" the Japanese Federation of Labor,
at the annual convention. according
to the translation of his address made
by Nippu Jill, Japanese language
newspaper.
Consul General Yada reiterated his
disapproval Of the activities of Japa-
nese strike leaders who called the
sugar plantation strike here a year
ago and urged the laborers to exert
their utmost efforts to increase the
sugar production of tho islands.
No Concessions.
II am in sympathy with labor but
am opposed to any attempt to pro-
mote the interest of labor by taking
a hostile attitude toward capitalists"
Consul Yada vas quoted as saying,
IF you had not struck last year you
might have been able to get better
concessions from the planters now,
when they have reduced your wages.
IN hawaii the employer is ASoA
and the Employed is Japanese. The
conditions are such that you cannot
get advantageous concessions through
Waging industrial warfare.
ANY blunderous conduct on your
part will incur the resentment of the
planters and naturally there will be
race prejudice and i'll feeling between
Americans and Japanese. The plan
tation strike last year is directly re-
sponsib1e for the partial success OF
the plan to import Chinese coolies in
to the territory.
Appreciate the American civiliza-

cludcd. Think Of the times and the
changes they are undergoing; open
your ayes and read the japanese
newspapers carefully if you cannot

America for a six months rest and
visit.
Should this vivasious little dancer
decide to accept some of the offers
made her and appear on the American
stage some dancers already here may
have to look to their laurels. Pally
Anna has appeared in all the capitals
of Europe and before crowned heads,
which is n of the greatest achieve
ments of foreign artists.
1.-THE successful dancer" she said
in her English which she has picked
up on board ship and during her three
weeks in America, must dance not
only with the feet as do most of your
American dancers, blu she must dance
with the head and. with fire and pas
sion. She must dance with intelligence
to be artistic. American audiences
are satisfied with feet dancing. and
so they must be educated to the 9TH
err" -.
Mile. Pally Anna Is naive and child
like In her admiration of America and
all things American. Her one longing
desire is to see California, "the great
California" as she expresses it. She
speaks with animation of New York's
buildings, our women, and the movies.
Pally Anna is a great artist who is a
real person and ii she decides to stay
after her six months are up American
audiences will like her genuineness.

DETROIT POOR
MAY u R WALNUT
AND MAHOGANY

: Detroit, Mich, Dec. 29.-Dozens of
mahogany, walnut and lakewood bars,
tables and fixtures from saloons raid
ed in the Detroit district since the adj
vent Of prohibition, a display of high
~ polished and costly wood valued at
upwards of $500, 900. may be chopped
into firewood and distributed among
Detrolt's poor. OF these bars and
tables, over which thousands of
elbows have been crooked and that in
years past have been made to glisten
by constant application of towels in
the hands of white aproned attend
ants may be converted into benches
for august Judges or into pulpits be-
hind which clergymen will stand and
voice the arguments for a saloonless
world.
While state and city prohibition
forces are making up their minds
which course to pursue in disposal of
the valuable. store>o of wood, rats and
mice are playing havoc with the bars
and tables, that have been dumped in
a heap near n of the city's police
stations.
Take Fixtures.
Under a state law prohibition off,
Gals confiscate the fixtures in any es-
Enlistment found to be dispensing
liquors. Lacking a place to store
these articles the officials have piled
them in a vacant place outdoors, thus
creating what the police call the city's
mahogany dump"
Judge William M. Heston of Re-
corder's court has decreed the coIlec-
ton he cut into fire wood and given
to the poor. Others propose the wa
ter soaked pile be salvaged and that
the wood be used to make pulpits ana
Judges benches.
For display purposes the wood ia
worth a fortune but for irewood 1t IL
no better than the more plebian va
%rteties. City officials say that to cut
the bars into stove wood would cost
more than 1t would be worth for that
purpose. Therefore the proposal OF
Judge .Heston will not be put into ef.
feet. for a time, at least.

Hishtower, an itinerant baker, in the sixty odd hours since he led a party Of six at midnight Wednesday through the fog to the windswept. shallow, sand cliff grave which gave forth the body of the murdered priest of Colma, the Rev. Patrick E. Heslin.

 His strongest point, the alibi of his movements on the night of August ?, when the priest was called forth upon an errand of mercy but to meet a most violent death, crumbled to&ay when Miss Doris Shirley appeared at policeh eadquarters voluntarily and denied Hightower's statement that she had accompanied him to San Jose in the machine which he rented that fateful evening.

BOOzE RUNNERS TRY FUR RECORD
Huge Quantities of Intoxi- cants Are Shipped From
 Canada Yesterday r.

WINDSOR, Ont. Aug. l3.-Canadi. an rum runners seemed to be trying to establish a record today after word was received here that Michigan state police, armed with rifles, had been mobilized to prevent them landing liquor manufactured in Ontario.
 Beer was hauled to the piers in both Sandwich and Walkerville, truck load after truckload, and 1t was esti- mated by waterfront observers that nearly dozen boats had pulled out every hour since s o'clock this morn ing
 The hustle along the piers continu- ed even when unconfirmed reports were received that, Michigan state po- lice, embarking in three motor boats, had run two liquor laden craft ashore near Ecorse, and seized their cargoes.
 At the present moment, it is report ed the smugglers are concentrating on nine per cent beer, manufactured legally in Ontario plants under re- cent Windsor court decision that to brew for export was perfectly proper under the Ontario temperance act. Shipments of whiskey from Waterloo in wholesale lots, is planned to begin next Monday.
 Reports were current today that not only had beer been shipped this week to Detroit by water, but that more than a dozen carloads, camouflaged as hay, had entered that city by rail. These reports. had it while the cen ters of the icars, near the side doors, had been filled with hay, case upon case of beer had been stacked in the ends.
 According to waterfront gossip. the rum runners had increased their eff forts to get liquor across the border to satisfy demands of Michigan road houses wyhich were reported to be expecting an unusual weekend trade. Word was received here that these resorts were charging, sixty cents a bottle for beer According to infor- nation at hand here, some Canadian liquor has got as far as Toledo and Port Huron.

Craig Says North Ireland is Satisfied With Present

ACCEPTANCE IS URGED
General Shuts Writes Sim Fein Leaders to Favor
 British Proposals

LONDON, Aug. 13.-(By The Asso- ciated Press.)-Official light on the status of the Irish negotiations was given by the government for the first tune today in the form of letter written by General Jan C. Shuts. the South African premier, to Eamonn de Valera, the Irish Republican leader. This letter. which is dated August 4. reveals that Premier Lloyd George offered the 26 Sim Fein counties complete dominion status, subject to certain strategic safeguards It is also known by the text of the letter that Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre- mier, has refused to negotiate with De Valera, and that Ulster is stand ing firm for retaining her present government
 General Shuts. however. urged the Republican leader to accept dominion status and leave Ulster to join the south in her own time, as he believed that through the successful running of the Irish state and the pull of eco homie and peaceful forces Ulster eventually would be brought into line
 Lloyd Georges secretary gave the letter to the newspapers this after noon after long cabinet meeting.
 General Shuts. in the course of his letter, said:
 "1 believe it is in the interests of Ulster to come in. and that the force of the community of interest will over period of years, become so grea, and compelling that Ulster will, her self. deside to join the Irish state. Not only will she not consent now to come in, but even if she does. the Irish state will, l fear. start under such handicap of internal friction and discordance that the result may well be failure once more.
 'The humble acceptance of facts is often the only way of finally over coming them. It proved so in the case of South Africa, where ultimate unity was only realized through sey eral stages, and the process of years. and where the republic as an ideal for which we made unheard of sacri- fices. had ultimately to give way to another form of freedom.
