Lilioukalani's Friend
Dies at Age Of 81

Honolulu, H. T., Dec. 31.-An-
other of the few remaining links
which bind Hawaii to it's glorious
past been severed by the death OF
Mrs. Wakeke Ululani Heleuhe, for
thirty years a retainer and close
personal friend of the late Queen
Lilioukalani.
Mrs. Heleluhe, who was nearing
her eighty-first birthday, belonged
to the old gentry of Hawaii. She
was with Queen Lii, as the late
m o n a r C h was affectionately
known, when she was a princess,
through her yeals as ruling mon
arch of Hawaii, and, still faithful,
through her declining years fol-
lowing the disruption of the mon
archy and the subsequent annexa-
tion of Hawaii to the United
States. She at one time accom-
panied the late queen to Washing
ton.

Vicar Stokes Own
Church Furnaces

London, Dec. 31.-Probably the
only vicar in London who stokes
his own church furnaces is the
Rev. E. A. G. Torey of st. Anne's.
Hoxton, the poorest parish in Lon
don.
Each member of his congrega-
tion does something, and even
when the new curate arrived he
had to do his bit in the stoke-hole
before he was eligible to heap
Goals of fire on his congregation.
The wages bill of st. Anne's is
under 5000 year-less than is
spent on candles in many another
church.
The choir gets four cents each
per service, and the organ blower
Is, something of a plutocrat, be-
cause he gets fifteen cents.

Miller Winner
Of Main Bout
In Arrrlory Ring


Giving his opponent trouncing
in the first round, making him
lead off in all the rest and stag
| ing come back in the last two,
Carl Miller of Eugene, lao pounds,
won the ten-round bout from Dat
tling Syverson in the main event
at the smoker held in the ar,nory
last night.
Syverson was rushed off his feet
in the first round but showed
gameness coming back in the sec
ond, leading to his opponent IN
nearly every round following, but
failing to land hard punches. Mil
Ter showed headwork, though as a
boxer his opponent gave evidence
of more class.
In the preliminaries, Dan Healy,
116 pounds, of Salem, managed to
get draw in the six round bout
with Jack DAILY, 11S pounds, from
Great Falls. DAILY was aggressive
and with more punch could have
easily put his opponent down for
the count.
Perhaps the best bout of the
evening was the four-round scrap
between Kid Kream of Chemawa
and Buck Smith, a soldier, who
took lot Of hammering with
much approval from the specta-
tors.
In the second round of the
Bayes Manning preliminary,
Bayes sent his opponent down for
the count with little difficulty,
and would have given a stronger
exhibition with a better man in
the ring.
The Fox ''tata," II and II years
of age was the best curtain raisers
seen for some time in the local
ring. All friendship ceased when
the two bothers faced each other
inside the ropes and began to slug,
their ability being equally good in
this respect, as such was the de-
cision of Referee Overdorf.
The bouts were some OF the best
staged in Salem and another is
promised for January %.

Naval Ii m j t a t ion
Work of Delegates
Practically Complete;
Root Plan Shaping

Washington, Dec. 31.--(By As
sociated Press. 1.-The end of the
naval limitation work of the arms
conference was definitely in sight
today as the naval experts of the
powers turned to the task of work
ing out detailed agreements on the
program now virtually disposed of
by the full naval committee which
was in adjournment today until
next week. At the same time the
Root subcommittee took up today
the drafting Of the Root proposal,
agreed to in substance by all the
powers, to reaffirm existing
rules of naval warfare against
merchant craft and declare their
application to submarines and in
vite adherence of all nations.
Agreement by the naval COM
mittee yesterday on aggregate ton
mage limitations for aircraft car
riers left for disposition on the
limitation program only the pro
posal to limit future auxiliary
craft craft to 10000 tons and their
armament to guns of not more
than eight inches. Approval was
given this proposal by all delega-
tions but the French, who deferred
formal answer pending advices
from Paris, which are expected to
permit the committee to complete
the naval limitation agreement
next week. 1t will then take up
also the second Root proposal tol
prohibit entirely the use of sub
marines against merchant craft,
instructions regarding which are
now awaited by both the French
and Japanese.

Big Wheat Stocks
Held for Advance

Winnipeg, Dec. 31.-More than
25,OOO,OO0 bushels of wheat are
today in store at the Canadian
head Of the lakes. AT least half of
this amount is owned by producers
who are holding it for higher
prices. At this time a year ago
there was only 100000 BUSH
els in store.
Shipments to the Pacific coast
are expected to increase in the
near future, and this is expected
to relieve the congestion at the
head of the lakes. Japan and Chi
ma are said to be willing to buy
large consignments of wheat and
flour if cargo space across the Pa
cific can be secured.

NEW ENGLAND FKlopuCE.

It is an old story but certainly one which he is justified in repeating when ex-Governor Coolidge points to the fact that Massachusetts has the land and the brains and ought to produce g much larger proportion of the food that 1t con- sumes, laying stress upon dairyins, poui+ try and apple raising.
 Census reports show that the people have been drifting to the cities, attracted of course by the war time wages in the industries and while those conditions do not prevail today it is not surprising if the urban population in Massachusetts and Connecticut should continuei to be larger than the rural population, but in spite of the attractions of the cities the population in the rural districts of Con- necticut has undergone an increase of IS per cent. This is not in proportion te the gain made by Commentaries whole but it is . gain nevertheless and means that Connecticut is that much better pre- pared to meet the farming requirements than it was ten years ago reeafdiess et the war drain, and with the reaajust, ments that are taking place 1t may ua- dergo still larger increases
 NndL MasSdcnuHettA IOrh1eH E0Ve49f0i believes would be beneficial to that ststl applies equally well to Connecticut. Witt the increase in population there are largel demands to be filled and there is the ep portunity for increasing production to tn. point where the farmers of Connection can supply Connecticut needs instead Q having so much produce brought her from elsewhere ,
 There is much farmland in Connecti cut that is not utilized to the extent tha it can or should be. There are good req sons why 1t should be lifted from a ley state of production to high one anl there are not a few opportunities of con verting what Is not much better thai waste land into producing acres. Ther is the demand for farm products, ther should be a preference for Connection grown produce and fruit and the systeF of good roads which is being naintafne and increased adds greatly to the nnarkei ing of such goods. New England ha been frequently urged to produce mor for its own requirements, and the aAvie can stand frequent repetitions

ONLY ITSELF TO BLAME.

. One of the important questions in Francs today is the attitude that is going to be shown toward Germany. There are those who stand firm for the terms of the treaty, and all things taken into con- sideration 1t is only what might be ex- pectsd. There are others who look with favor upon Tenieney. and it can be appre- ciated that tais number might be larger had the acts of Germany been such as to warrant it or had it been endeavoring to live up to the terms of peace.
 France foet4d the bill at the conclusion of the previous war. It has suffered as never bAfore Es the result of the present war and it is only natural that it should expect Germany to toe the mark.
 Germany has persisted in a policy which was inaugurated before the. treaty was signed cf pleading to be relieved of certain penalties. Its requests have been respected in some particulars. That they would have been granted in more is not improbable had Germany manifested its appreciation by endeavering to live up to the requirements in other particulars Germany by it's attitude has hurt itself and made it more difficult for France tc relieve some Of the recognized heavy bur. I dens
 When Germany puts forth the plea that 1 it is impossible for it to Keep certain agreements such as the disarming 0. large forces which 1t still maintains, thu | refusal to destroy war material and indi cates disposition to do as it pleases re
 gArdiess of the terms of the treaty, i l isn't helping it's case in any respect
 whereas q different attitude would b.

 faith and gone about the fulfillment 0 the treaty terms so as to give the i'm
 pression that 1t was doing it's utmos
 even though it was impossible to accom-
 nlish it would have made a far differen
 impression. As 1t is 1t Is reaping the re
 suit of its sowing, its defaults are nc
 easily overlooked and mere and nor
 does it invite the position taken vb
 France against 1eniency. Germany be

If the. senate follows the lead of the house hteFe will De the, shutting off of immigration for . period of a year with time thus allowed for perfecting permanent immigration bill The exclusion of all aliens even for such period is opposed and there is among others, a bill which calls for the creation of a federal immigration board which would be made up of five members of the cabinet and a sixth named by the president for the purpose of studying the immigration situation and making report two years from ths time it was created. The idea would bt Ito have this board permanent in ordei ,that;it may keep in touch with the ques 'tion as new conditions develop and othel problems arise.

THE LANGDON CASE,

From such Investigations and inquiries as have been made both by American and Japanese authorities 1t is indicated that the attack that was made u6oh Lieutenant Langdon in Vladivostek by a Japanese sentry was without provocat ation So far as can be learned there doAsn't appear to have been any motive behind it but possibly one of those unfortunate cases which can be attributed to igner- ance. ... -
 Not only is the loss of fife cause fer deep regret but it comes at a most unfor- tunate time in view of the questions that are before the two nations. Indications, however, point to the fact that it will be amicably adjusted without having any bearing upon other subjects, although it will give an added reason for those in Japan who are urging the withdrawal of the Japanese forces from Siberia te strengthen their appeal.
 If we can judge from the steps which have been taken by Japan that govern. ment is not little disturbed by ths tragedy. It recognizes the interpretation that can be placed upon it and it has hastened to bring out the facts ih tht case even to admitting that the attacl was unprovoked, declaring that it sin cerely regrets 1t and stating that 1t vii meet the indemnity that is to be expect ed under such circumstances.
 Thus faz there isn't anything to in dicate but what there will be a. settle mcnt of the case without the involve ment of any, other matters. There is fl fact nothing shown thus far to intimat even that other questions involved be tween tho nations are in any way cor, cerncd, except that it gives ah cpportu nifty to direct incr sased attention to tn fact that. such an occurrence might nc have happened had Japan not been nair, taining such a large military force a that point in Siberia. In addition to tn adjustment of the case between the ns tons this is one of fhe things on whic the eyes of many nations will be can tered. Japan has. however. insisted ut on taking it's time in withdrawing froi Siberia and there Is no certainty that
 will permit this affair to char 20 il plans

THE rnomsrr1ox AMENDMENT.

While governor after governor is call ing for the proper cooperation on the part of the state in the enforcement of the prohibition 9Inendment, even to the point of enaeting the necessary legisla- ton thGt will eliminate any doubt as to the part the state authorities should play, thera are those who are working in op- position both to the amendment and to the Volsteaa act under which the amend nient is enforced.
 That the governors are right in insist ing that every federal law should be en- torccd and that this prohibition law is . federal law and therefore should be re- spected and enforced the same as all oth- or national laws. cannot fail to be re- sar6ed as sound doctrine. Inasmuch as the prohibition amendment has been ob- tained in the manner stipulated by law 1t Is not an obligation placed upon one part of the country and not upon other portions, and it is not meant for one or few states in distinction from the rest Everything should therefore be done to facilitate it's operation the same as was tho case with the suffrage amendment and others.
 Those who continue to fight the amend. ment and strive to bring about its re peal may get much support but they la
 bor in behalf of cause that has never been accomplished. That their greates
 and most successful effort will be de | voted to securing change in the Vol
 stead law seems probable. That is {
 matter which rests with congress. Tn,
 national legislators can change the pro
 visions of the enforcement act and hav
 the authority to say whether the aleeholi
 content shall be restricted to one-half o
 one per cent or allew 1t to be increases
 so that beer and light wines can be sold
 Whether congress is ready to make sucI 2 change is another question but stron fight will doubtless be made for it, and i is obvious that such a modification 0 the law, or AS some may regard 1t sue letting down of the bars, can be nor
 reasonably expected than the successfr
 outcome of the task of trying to get a amendment repealed which means goin through much the same process as va done in obtaining 1t.
