TOKYO ENDS TALK
Declines Any Assistance
In Settle m ent of
Shantung Issue.
PEKING ENJOYS
STILL HOPEFUL
Other Powers EndeavOr
To Find Compromise
For Deadlock.

The probability OF settling the
Shantung railway questions at this
conference is extremely remote. in
the opinion OF both the Japanese
and Chinese delegates expressed
last night.
The Japanese have definitely de-
clined to invite the good offices of
Messrs Hughes and Balfour in an
effort to arrive at an adjustment.
The most recent instructions from
the foreign office at Tokyo expIic-
lilly prohibit the delegation IN
Washington accepting the good
offices Of the American and British
delegates. or modifying in any way
the proposal which the Chinese DEL
egation already has rejected.
The negotiations between the
Japanese and Chinese have been
| called off indefinitely and may not
be resumed at Washington, IL was
indicated by the spokesman for the
Japanese

the Japanese explain that the rail-
way is their exclusive property. le-
gally acquired. and while they ap-
preciate the spirit in which Messrs.
Hughes and Balfour rendered their
service. they must hold to the po-
sition that the Japanese dip!o-
mats are amply equipped 10 deal
with the Shantung situation with
out the assistance OF disinterested
powers.
The next move. IL any is made,
must come in the acceptance by
the Chinese government of the
japanese proposal, or in the nature
| Of further concessions from the
foreign ONCE at Tokyo. which
would make it possible to reopen
| negotiations. It was explained by
| the japanese. Their instructions
are so explicit. it was stated. that
any possible concessions from
| Tokyo must he voluntary. as the
| delegation here has received what
| it considered the final word and
will not submit any request for ad-
ditional instructions.
Chinese SuHI Hopeful.
The Chinese delegates expressed
"a ray of hope" that something
might occur to change the situa-
| tion and stated that they are eN-
| ploring other avenues" II Is
known that representatives oi
other powers are exhibiting a kind
Iy though active interest and have
not abandoned the effort to bring
the divergent viewpoints of the
two governments nearer into line.
One OF the proposals advanced is
an international financial arrange
ment whereby the japanese would
control so per cent of the stock
and the British and the United
States IS per cent each. providing
for the transfer OF the title of the
line to the Chinese after a period
Of years. This plan calls for Brit
ish and American railway experts
taking the place of the japanese
traffic manager and chief account
ant.
This plan, il was definitely
learned. cannot be entertained by
Japan for the same reason that
the good Offices of Messrs. Hughes
and Balfour were declined, that is
the property belongs to the Japa-
nesc and they must state the terms
on which they will dispose of il.

Club here tonight.
I'VE cannot hold the increase in

Mr.. Wallace. but they contribute
very much to these troubles.
"I would 20 further and say chat

between the prices the farmer re-
ceives for his crops and the freight
rates he pays, botn on what he sells

High freight rates are no longer
justified in view OF the decline in
prices of commodities, Mr.. Wallace
argued. He urged an adjustment Of
rates to correspond with the ad-
justment that has occurred in farm
prices.
"If there are obstacles in the way
of such adjustment, some way must
be found to remove them" he said.
Deficits must be met by reductions

advances in rates."

He had no hesitanCy, however, in
admitting that he had taken money
from a Mrs. w. II. Arnold, whose
complaint was made the basis of the
grand jury's indictment. He simply
said that he had been unable to pay
her money back.
Lindsay refused to share the blame
with anyone and told his inquisitors
that his wife knew nothing OF his
peculiar operations until she read OF
them in the newspapers. He did say,
though, that she had been making
weekly payments to some Of his
"clients."
Lindsay began his confession with
an air of nOnchalance. He ended it

NEW YORK, Feb. PSI was
q Wall Street sucker-that's all.
I'm flat broke now"
That was the first statement
that Alfred Z. Lindsay, 1.-THE
Ladies' Broker" made today when
he was brought back from Phila-
delphia, where ne had been hiding
under an assumed name, and lock-
ed up in the Tombs on charge Of
grand larceny.
Women Accuse Him.
While Lindsey claims that he was
q Sucker" there are many fashion.
able New York. women who have told
the district attorneys office that
they also were in the sucker class
when they gave him money to in
vest in the mythical Domino Club
that was supposed to manipulate the
stock market from the RitZ-Carlton
Hotel.
Among these women is Mrs. Lillian
N. Duke, divorced wife of James Il.
Duke, multi millionaire tobacco
king, who says that she contributed
several hundred thousand of the al
most a million dollars that Lindsay
gathered from trusting clients dur
ing his regime as Ladies' Broker.
Lindsay admits that he handled
Mrs. Dukes money, but says that he
had Invested il" for her and that 1t
had been lost in legitimate specula-
ton.
Although Lindsay had been stop
ping under the name of "A. X.
Brooks" in little hotel in OVerbrook,
Pa, since the turn in the stock mar
ket caused him to flee, he made
brave show of repentance and de-
clared to the district attorneys as
sistants:
II don't want to go down as COM
mon, ordinary skunk. All money
that I may owe clients I'll pay back
IL l ever get out of this jam alive"
He said that he would sell his home
Mt Nyack, n. Y, and devote the pro
ceeds to his women creditors who
were left holding the empty bag
few days ago.
Lindsay frankly admitted that he
had specialized in handling of funds
for trusting society women since
1918. He said that Mrs. Duke was
the first woman from whom he re-
ceived large sums of money. lie de-
Clined, however, to state exactly how
much he had procured from the
former wife of the tobacco king. he
admitted knowing all the women who
had complained against him and CON
fessed that he had received money
from each one.
Lindsay" the assistant district
attorney prodded. these women say
that when you took their money you
told them that you were in pool
with George f. Baker, Thomas w.
Lamont, Percy Rockefeller and

Londsay fumbled with his tie a
moment, then slowly answered.:
They are mistaken about that
statement"

He then strengthened his denial by
declaring that he had never claimed
friendship with any of the financiers
mentioned.

XII KLUX KHAN IN
PUBLIC HERE FOR
THE FIRST TIME
Four Gowned and Hooded
Figures Enter Crowded
Tabernacle Last Night
And Present 500 To
Evangelist

Members of the Ku Klux Klan clad
in the robes and hoods of that or
ganization, made a sudden public
appearance among a large crowd IN
Phoenix last night and as suddenly
disappeared.
The Rev. Jerry Jeter, evangelist,
was drawing a cartoon at the big
Community tabernacle near Second
avenue and Van Buren street with
his back to an audience that en-
tirely filled the large building.
Quietly the door was opened and four
masked, cloaked and hooded figures
made their appearance. Before many
in the audience were aware OF their
entrance they were slowly pacing
down the middle aisle toward the
platform.
1t wasn't many seconds before
every eye in the tabernacle, except
the evangelist who continued draw
ing a cartoon, was on the strange
figures clad in the unusual garments
and hoods. There wasn't a move nor
sound except the report of two
flashlights as cameras took pictures
Of the crowd and the strange visitors,
Mount Platform
In the death like stiffness the four
goWned and hooded figures advanced
to the platform. Mounting the plat
form and raising their arms, the four
figures awaited the evangelist VINO
then turned and stared in amaze
ment as he was handed an envelope
by one of the four.
The four strangely clad and hooded
figures then turned and as slowly re-
traced their way back down the mid
die aisle. opened the door and dis
appeared. During their leaving, the
big audience had been as deathly
silent as before.
The Rev. Mr.. Jeter then opened the
envelope which had been given him
and read the letter it contained TO
the audience. 1t was as follows:
Rev. Jeter Reads Letter

Seeing Eye has looked upon you ana

community and has found II gooo'
We know that you stand Tor Law,

We know you are fearless in your as
saults on Sin and all the fniquitous
degrading devices OF the Devil.
Because you are making such a
brave fight upon immortality In this
community, because you represent
the very things for which our or
ganization was created and for when
il strives, because you are 100 per
cent American, we wish to aid you
in your great work.
"The Ku Klux Klan stands for

forcement, upholding of the Consti-
