S2OO.OOO OF BANDIT LOOT
 UNREVEALED
fBy the Associated Press)

Pine Bluff, Ark, Dec. 12.-Tom Slaughter's share in the loot of nu, merous bank robberies in which he participated, said to amount to about S2O0,OO0, stuffed in an automobile tire IS buried somewhere in northern Texas, according to A. w. Mills, local agent for the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company.
 Mills stated today that Slaughter told him and Rev. w. B. Hogg, Meth odist minister of Little Rock, that this amount of money had been hid den by him, and Mills said he had an appointment to talk with Slaugh- ter at the penitentiary tomorrow when Slaughter had promised to re- veal to him the exact hiding place of the money and enable him to restore 1t to it's rightful owners.
 Mills thinks it probable now that the secret of the location of Slaugh- ter's loot died with him when he was killed in Saline county by Jack How ard.

YAP ISLANDS ROW SETTLED
 HUGHESSAYS
tBy the AssocYated Preas>

Washington, Dec. 12.-Secretary of States Hughes today informed the arms conference committee on Far Eastern affairs that the long contro- versy between Japan and the United States over the Yap Islands has been settled.
 Terms of the settlement will be announced later today, Secretary Hughes stated to the committed
 American opposition to Japanese mandatories in the Far East is not confined to the Island of Yap but, as indicated on February 21, 1921, in the note of former Secretary of State Colby to the league of nations, to all of the islands in the Pacific Ocean north of the equator which formerly belonged to Germany These gems of the oriental seas," of which Yap is one, aggregate 127 and are comprised in four groups, namely the Carolines with 62, the Marshall with 32, the Marianne Cor Ladrone) with 25 and the Pelew with eight. They form kind of strategic semi circle around the Philippines.
 While chief interest in the discus sions of the allied communications conference, which began in Washing ton on October 8, 1920, to determine the allocation of these islands, has centered in Yap by reason of it's inn portance as a cable station, the prob lem of Yap is overshadowed by the larger international aspect of the control of all the 127 islands.
 The contention of the United States department of state has been that Yap should be "internationaized'. The allied communications conference, attended by representatives of the five allied powers, becoming dead locked in February, 1921, the ques- tions were referred to the foreign relations committee of the United States senate Before the senate took any action, the arms conference was summoned by President Harding, and settlement of the Yap question by common consent was left to the inter- national gathering.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-"Lucky Tommy OConner, gun man and killer, who was to have gone to the death cell in the Cook county jail today to await execution next Thursday, made a sensational escape from jail last night, and today 5000 police and dep- uty sheriffs are combing the county for him.
 Chief of Police Fitzmorris today declared his belief that the jail break was framed" with jail officials since OConnor did not use the gun snug gled in to him by a supposed confed- crate. As a result, Chief Fitzmor- ris ordered his men to bring the fu- gitive in, dead or alive.

Misled by Headlines
litor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: wish to suggest that the use
Of prominent names in headings in
newspapers is in many cases mislead-
ing.
have frequently seen the name
Wilson used in headings, when upon
reading the text. I found that Score
tary Wilson or some other Wilson was
the man referred to. Not long ago
found in New York financial paper
this heading: Harding Defends Fed
eral Reserve Rediscount Policies" OF
course Governor Harding was referred
to, but would not many, perhaps the
majority Of readers, think that the
President had taken hand in this
controversy?
1t is unfortunate, but the fact re-
mains that about all the news a large
number of busy or careless people get
is from newspaper headlines, and
believe that when merely the surname
is given in the headline it should al
ways refer to the man of that name
most prominently before the public q,
that time. l.. P. BENNETT.

The Offense of Debs-
John Spargo Supports Appeal for Pardon in All Such
Cases as His
Cases as His

To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Literally and by definition Mr.
Debs is criminal, Of course. So far
Richard Marlowe in his reply to my re-
cent letter Is right. Yet close to mil
lion American citizens voted to make
Mr.. Dcbs President of the United States
we'll knowing the fact of his imprison-
ment and the nature Of his offense.
take it that no one believes that this
would have occurred if Mr.. Debs had
been convicted of arson, burglary,
forgery or any ordinary crime.
1t is recognized that the offense for
which he was tried, convicted and i'm
prisoned was not one involving moral
turpitude or degradation, but simply
the conflict Of an individual judgment
and conscience with public statutes
passed for emergency purposes only,
which would not be tolerated in normal
times.
What Mr.. Debs thinks Of the Estates
manship" (God save the mark!D of
Lenine and Trotzky. or Of the United
States Supreme Court is as irrelevant
as what he thinks Of President Har-
ding's Cabinet or the League Of Ma
tions. We have had great statesmen
and patriots whose criticims Of the Su-
preme Court were quite as severe as
that of Mr.. Debs.
1t is Just as we'll to keep the issue
clear. Mr.. Debs opposed our entrance
into the war, just as many others did
| When war with Germany was declared
Mr.. Debs continued to express his OPP
position and to demand the negotiation
of peace. He condemned I'll war. He
declared that "capitalst interests" had
forced US into the war. He was wrong
mistaken both as to the facts and in
his judgment.
1t has not even been charged that
he was in league with, that he was
in the pay of or that he favored the
enemy. 1t has not even been charged
that alone or acting with others he
sought by the destruction Of railway
bridges, munition plants and the like or
by promoting instructions and riots
to prevent the carrying out of our
military plans. His opposition to war
and his offense consisted solely in the
making of public addresses.
1t is argued that had his appeal to
the people been successful we should
have been defeated, and the Allied
cause would have been lost. That is
true, but what is the use of overlooking
the significance of the "if"? The an
swer to the objection is that if there
had been the least possibility of such a
result we never would have gone to war
at all.
Our entrance into the war presup-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-04-17

posed and required a solidarity of pub
lie opinion against which the protests
of Mr.. Debs and his associates could
not avail. At the worst they could
never have enlisted on their side moro
than a minority relatively insignfi-
can't numerically, however troublesome
they might be.
Precisely because the offense for
which he was convicted involved his
conscience, it is manifestly absurd to
expect repentance from Mr.. Debs
Here, as throughout the entire discus
sion of the case, it is necessary to dis
tinguish between the crime Of Mr.. Dcbs
and ordinary crime. l submit that
those of us who supported the war and
cheerfully and loyalty bore our part
in it can we'll afford to take a generous
view of the case, make full allowance
for the great moral and spiritual diff
culties by which some Of our fellow
citizens were overwhelmed and give our
support to the appeal for pardon in all
such cases as those Of Mr.. Debs.

publican side upon the basis Of The
League Of Nations with the Lodge res
ervations. Tho last vestige Of oppo
sition to this conclusion must yielc
when 1t is remembered that its adop-
ton was tho one outstanding and tow.
erinsly conspicuous act Of the party
dwarfing into insignificance all others
since the termination of the war,
In so far as that issue influenced the
voters and contributed to his Gland
slide" majority, we may rightly claim,
from President Harding as fair
recognition Of that vote consideration
for the League Of Nations qualified by
those reservations, or such modifca-
ton Of them as changed conditions
may require.
But since Senator Harding in his
campaign speeches somewhat differ
emily defined his position with respect
to the League of Nations, we may con-
slider our entry with those reserva-
lions not so distinct an issue and not
an unqualified issue in respect to the
question of peace, and look to his pub
lie utterances, though without doubt
the party record was the determining
factor with most voters.
It is sufficient for the purposes of
this letter to say that whenever he re-
ferred to a possible new association Of
nations Its inseparablc companion in
all his utterances was revision OF the
existing league "if 1t has been so. en-
twined and interviewer into the peace
OF Europe that its good must be pre-
served" And the full, though not Of
ten-seen, text Of his much maligned
Des Moines speech shows that to be
no exception.
The question would thus seem to be:
Has the league become, so entwined
and interviewer? If the answer is
yes, then there would naturally follow
this other question: Will the nations
Of Europe consent to revision or res
ervations that will offer such safe
guards to American independence as
will satisfy our people?
IF the answer is no, then the cam
paign promises Of President Harding
must lead to some other effective union
Of nations for the preservation Of world
peace. Pro-league Republicans care
little whether it be known as league
or association-or international court
with teeth in it," as Senator Harding
promises-if only it achieves the end
Of world peace and international JUS
tice.

The League Problem
Forgetting Our Soldiers
A Word on Ouija
Liquor Law Modification
Objects Of the Self-Deteminaton League of Lberv-
Light Wines and Beer
70 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We, the undersigned, members
of tho executive committee Of the Self
Determination League of Liberty, in
view of the misinformation relative to
tho objects of this league, desire to
make our position perfectly plain in
regard to our opposition to the Vol
stead liquor enforcement law.
While we favor a modification of this
law we are not in sympathy with any
movement having for its object re-
turn to the old conditions governing
the manufacture and sale of spirituous
liquors.
We are not insensible of the fact
that prohibition, so called, has it's
merits, and we would like to have its
virtues retained without infringing
upon the rights of the people where
the moderate and sensible use Of light
wines and beer is concerned.
We are not so sure that it would be
altogether desirable to repeal the
Eighteenth Amendment. We believe
and hope that this amendment will
remain in the Constitution until the
latter has been revised and its incon:
gruities and inconsistencies eliminated
What the differentiation League
Of Liberty hopes to accomplish is this:
Relegate to the several states by
Congressional action the rightful
power to determine what is and what
is not an intoxicating beverage, which
applies solely to light wines and beer;
the alcoholic content of same not to
exceed IL per cent for wines and not
over Az per cent for beer.
The sale of light wines and beer to

Hartford's Round Table
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May we, the members Of the
Round Table, business men, meeting
daily, except Saturday and Sunday,
Tor lunch in the main dining room OF
the Hartford Club, extend through
The Tribune an invitation to the Right
Rev. Charles D. Williams, Bishop Of
Michigan, to lunch with us any day
or days when it is convenient?
After reading a report Of his sermon
OF Sunday in yesterdays. Tribune we
feel that he would find us, and we
him, congenial.
1t is our custom to discuss all mat
tiers on which we are profoundly
ignorant with the greatest freedom,
and ON those matters on which any
member is informed his reticence is
expected and respected.
AS starter, we are agreed that we
respect the clergy in the field In which
they belong, but we will not admit
their leadership in business, nor in
economics, politics, sociology or edu-
z.
spect, in a limited way, even II
neither OF us has attempted to define
the field in which the other belongs.
AS we are mostly lawyers, insurance
men and bankers, we may even talk
freely on open shop, and the Bishops
attitude opens up lively possibilities
OF debate. We shall respect any ret
lcence of the Bishop on such subjects
as the function of the Church or
theological matters which NAV como
up from time to time. On the other
hand, he is practically assured Of
monologue when he attempts to o,s-
cuss the field in which we Jointly or
severally belong.
