Celebrates His SO
Birth Anniversary
fRepubllcan "a. h. Leased Wlrel

LONDON, Jan. 17-PremiIr LLOYD
George celebrated his 59th birthday.
He was inundated with congratula-
tions but spent most of the day pre-
pairing a speech for delivery Saturday
before a coalition liberal conference,
when he is expected to make a party
pronouncement.
A week ago II was assumed this
would take the form of announcing
the dissolution of parliament in Feb
ruary, but the political experts now
for the most part, agree that the fall
of the BRAND cabinet, entailing dis
arrangement of the results hoped for
from the Cannes meeting, has in
duced the premier to abandon his
idea of early elections.
Nevertheless. party activity this
week is at white heat. The uniouist
revolt against the premier is una
bated, in the determination TO op-
pose elections until the power of veto
has been restored to the house of
lords.
A large meeting OF the so-called
unionist reconstructionists today
unanimously adopted a resolution to
this effect.
Arizona republican., 1922-01-18

The American resolution would
bind the United States, Great Britain,
Japan, France, Italy, Belgium, Por-
tugal and Holland not to seek special
spheres of influence in China nor Sc
cure concessions or monopolies which
would abridge the principle of equal
economic and commercial opportun-
ity.
China would agree to co Operate in
maintaining that equality, and the
nine powers collectively would au-
thorize establishment of a board of
reference to review present and fu-
ture concessions to determine wheth-
er they conflict with the open door
thus defined.
Except for another inconclusive
session Of the Shantung negotiations
and informal exchanges among the
"big five regarding the Pacific for
tifications agreement, the meeting of
the Far Eastern committee constitut-
ed the total of conference activities.
At the Shantung conversations the
question of mines was discussed with
no apparent progress and the fortifi-
cations problem remained unsolved
tonight despite receipt by the Japa-
nese of partial Instructions from To-
kio.
1t was around the proposal for an
inquiry into concessions now estab-
lished in China as we'll as those pro-
posed in the future that most of the
debate in the Far Eastern committee
centered. BY some delegates 1t was
understood such an inquiry might
open up the whole question Of Japa-
nese holdings in Manchuria, while in
other quarters it was suggested that
the resolution might, by indirection,
lead to review by the board Of the
famous "21 demands" controversy.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-That Abyssinia
Is the last hope Of open slavery; that
IN its capital, Adds Adeba, there are
more slaves than free men and that
the British legation there is full of
slaves owned by legation servants,
are assertions made by two CORE
spondents of the Westminster Ga
zette, who lately have been in
Abyssinia. The newspaper today
publishes the first article by the
correspondents, detailing conditions
in Abyssinia.
The correspondents assert that of
the slaves alleged to be in the Brit
ish legation many are British sub
jects, having been captured by slave
traders in British territory. They
declare that not only are the slaves
who enter the legation compound not
instantly set free but that if they
have escaped from their owners the
latter can enter the compound to
recapture them.
The article declares France, Great
Britain and Italy, having bound
themselves under the arms conven-
tiop of 1919, not to supply munitions
to the Abyssinians, it is now only
America which is importing, or
seeking to import, arms into Abys-
sinia--arms destined to assist the
slave traders.
AT present, the article continues,
there is a iarge consignment of
American cartridges and automatic
rifles at Jibuti "a French port on
the Gulf of Aden) awaiting the con-
sent of the French authorities for
its transport into the interior and it
is believed that the French, not be-
ing much in love with the convention
Of 1919, and fearing an incident"
with the American government.
which probably knows nothing about
affairs, may shortly give their con-
sent.
The correspondents describe con-
ditions in Abyssinia as anarchy.
Rrigands abound. There is no sani-
tation. Travelling in the interi e is
dangerous, but any trader who dares
to tell of conditions would be black
listed and probably expelled.
In an editorial the newspaper sug-
gests that the British foreign of
fices has preferred to say as little
as possible about alleged scandalous
conditions, and calls for the aban-
donment of the 'hush policy" and for
the full light of publicity to be thrown
on them both in England and the
United States.
The editorial adds that 1t is un-
fortunate the United States did not
sign the 1919 convention, but we feel
sure the state department at Wash
ington, once it realizes the fact, will
not delay in making it's attitude
clear"

SENATE VO 7 { s
To GIVE F A R NJ
MEN PLACE ON
RESERVE BOARD
Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ

LhcpupilCdH ~ r. Lcdec0 WlreI
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE first
step to bring about farmer represen-
tation Of the federal reserve board
was taken today by the senate in the
passage of the Kellogg Smith com
promise bill increasing the boards
appointive membership from five to
six and providing that the agricul-
tural interests shall have a spokes-
man among them.
The vote was SO to .. Seven OF
those who opposed the proposition
were Republicans and two Democrats.
They were: Pomerene of Ohio and
Williams Of Mississippi, Democrats;
Brandegee, Connecticut; Calder of
New York; Edge of New York;
Keyes, New Hampshire; Mclean,
Connecticut; Moses, New Hampshire.
and Wadsworth, New York, Repub-
licans.
BY the bill, which constitutes an
amendment to the federal reserve
act, the limited designation Of the law
is wiped out and instead of the spe
cific provision for the naming of two
bankers to the board, the statute, If
agreed to by the house, will direct
the president, in making appoint
ments, TO have due regard to a fair
representation of the financial, agri-
cultural, industrial and commercial
interests and geographical divisions
OF the country. The measure also
provides that hereafter no federal
reserve bank may enter into con-
tract for banking homes If their cost
is to exceed $250,000 unless the con-
sent of congress is first given.
There were many attempts TO
change the compromise, but all save
the amendment restricting construc-
ton, by Senator Harris, Democrat of
Georgia, were killed. The agreement
on the compromise, which bore the
approval not only OF all the agricul-
turaI bloc leaders in the senate but
that of President Harding, held
throughout.
Senator Smith, Democrat Of South
Carolina, who first offered the pro-
vision as to farmer representation,
withdrew his amendment and called
upon his Democratic colleagues to
support the substitute, which he de-
clared to be adequate.
While the senate was moving slow
Iy toward a vote, word was received
that Mr.. Harding would observe the
intent of the legislation and would
name the farmer member. He had
previously indicated disapproval of
the original proposal and the COM
promise measure resulted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-After
presentation of testimony by way of
denial, war department records. sub
mitted today to the senate committee
investigating charges that American
soldiers had been hanged without
trial in France, showed that on the
bodies of two men dug up in the
cemetery at Bazoilles ropes and black
caps in which they were put to death
had not been removed.
Edwin T.. Lamb of Hartford, Conn,
colonel overseas, testified that IN
the case of one of the men the body
was placed quickly in coffin, and so
far as he recalled the rope and cap
were not removed. But in both cases,
other witnesses declared, they were
removed before the bodies were pre-
pared for shipment home.

Illegal executions led to the investi-

MONTREAL, Jan. 17.-Coroner
Mcmahon today called Rev. Adelard
Delorme as a witness at the ad-
adjourned Inquest into the death Of
his half brother, Raol Delorme, an
Ottawa student, who was found shot
to death January 6.
The priest was questioned con-
corning his purchase Of a revolver
and as to the manner in which his
wrist had been injured. He ex-
planned he had fallen to the side
walk on the day the body had been
found.
The coroner explained questioning
of the priest had been precipitated
by a newspaper interview he had
given. The interview quoted the
priest as expressing regret that ru-
mors had been spread connecting his
name with the case and ridiculing the
ideas that life insurance carried by
his half brother could have been
motive for the crime,
