Felix was burned to death on hi

were found on the bed, the arms o.
the women encircling the babies. The

BELIEVED JAPAN WILL
AGREE TO A GENERAL
DISCUSSION OF Terms
Growing Confidence In
Final Agreement For
Disarming
(By Associated Press)

Washington, July 21.-Renewed
confidence that Japan will consent to
a conference was evident in official
circles here tonight after another in
formal exchange of views between
the Japanese and American govern
ments.
During the day the Japanese am
lbassador called on Secretary Hughes
| at the state department and they are
understood to have discussed at
length the situation resulting from
Japan's reluctance to have the far
eastern question subjected to debate
in the disarmament negotiations. 1t
was indicated afterwards that the
mutual exchange was regarded as
helpful by both sides and that the
conversations soon might reach a
stage making possible more for
NAL diplomatic correspondence on the
subject.
Must Hove Frank Discussion
There was every evidence that the
American government remained un-
shaken in its belief that to definite
! ly eliminate any subject from the
scope of the conference before hand
might prove serious barrier to the
disarmament discussion itself. On the
other hand it was indicated that Am
erican officials had no desire to for.
mulate a list of the questions that il
thinks should be discussed and woulC
be quite content if the Toxic govern,
ment simply agreed to come into the
conference with an open mind as tt
consideration of anything final t.
a disarmament agreement.
Those in charge of the preliminary
negotiations here have heard with
much interest the suggestion tina
some of the troubles of the confer
ence might be obviated if such ques
tions as the disposition of the Paciti,
Island of Yap and the control o
Shantung peninsula were settled be
fore the delegates assemble. Although
official comment is lacking it is main
tained that such development woul'
be highly pleasing to American of
fcials and that some steps may b.
taken to speed the questions towart
solution.
To Resume Yap Negotiations
1t is is considered entirely likel.
, that to this end negotiations regard
: ing zap, over which Japan wa
awarded mandate by the league o
! nations, may be actively resumed il
the near future.
In the case of Shantung the indi
: Gated view of the state department
. has been that any dispute over SOY
! ererinty should be a subject of ne
; gotiations between Japan and Chira
; Reports have reached here that Toki
/ is ready to undertake such a negotia
, tion and it would occasion no surpris
in well informed circles if China wer
encouraged to take SIMILAR attitude

(Ry Associated Pressl

Washington, July 21.-The repub-
lican protective tariff bill estimated
by Chairman Fordney to raise $780,
100000 in revenue annually was pas
sed tonight by the house by vote of
289 to 127-precisely the vote by
which a democratic motion for eli
mination of it's American valuation
provision was defeated.
Seven Republicans voted against
the measure, while the same number
of democrats supported it.
Oil, hides, cotton and asphalt
stood up against determined fight
to tax them and remained on the free
list. The Longworth dye embargo,
first of the five contested schedules
to go before the house proper for a
separate vote and backed by most
of the republican members of the
ways and means committee, was
thrown out.
Forming and holding a flying
wedge and aided by republicans not
satisfied with all the bills provisions
the democratic minority made the
most of its chances and won on each.
The ways and means committee lost
out on three of the five amendments
laid before the house-Assss
There was not much chance of i'm
posing duty on hides and cotton af-
ter the house in committee of the

carrying compensatory rates on their

oil amendment was reached there was
such a shout of nos that a roll cali
was not demanded. A moment later
Chairman Fordney trying to make
himself heard above the din which
prevailed during three hours of vot-
ing, announced that sentiment in the
committee of the whole against tax
ing asphalt had been so overwhelm-
ing thxat it was not worth while to
go through the form of calling the

ON BOARD THE DESTROYER
LEARY EN- ROUTE TO NORFOLK,
Va, July 21.-The ability of the air.
plane to destroy the capital ship was
demonstrated today off the Virginia
capes.
Army bombers Launching projec-
tiles weighingF one ton sank the
former German battles Ostfriesland,
$4,000 ton heavily armored ship
in axactly 25 minutes after they
opened their. attack at 1912 p. m.
from an altitude of approximately
ZOO feet. Two bombs which landed
overheard within a few yards of the
port quarter gave the ship her death
blows.
Seven of the. one ton weapons were
dropped by as many army planes
which came from Langley Field, Va,
80 miles away, but Immediately af-
ter the two had exploded near the
port quarter the vessel began to set
tie by the stern. Those bombs were
launched by Separate planes within
minute Of each other, the first at
1926 and within five minutes the
fship's quartstdeck was. slightly
iawasf and Sic began to list to port.
Big Hulk Turns One
AS the water rushing in through
rents torn in the hull by the 1900
pounds Of INT which the bombs
carried, flooded compartment after
compartment, the big hulk went over
gradually until she had turned bot
tom up. She was then badly down
by the stern and as she started the
final plunge the bow rose high out
of the sea to disappear slowly.
Thus the end came to a once great
ship Of the German navy which took
an important part with the German
first battle squadron in the battle of
Jutland and reached home safely af-
ter having struck a mine laid by the
attacking British grand fleet. Naval
men and many other of the thousands
assembled on half score of warcraft
viewed the end of the big ship al
most in awe, but the army men anC
particularly the aviators were highly
elated. Many of them regarded thi'
as proof Of the claim of Brigadie1
