Clemenceau Asserts
World Needs Pact to
Bring General Peace

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Georges
Clemenceau, the Tiger today brought
his fight for France to the cradle of
American liberty
The 81 year old French war pre-
mier is now on the last lap of his
strenuous campaign to return America
to the counseIs of Europe and to the
side of France.
He is undoubtedly feeling the strain
of his impassioned pleas for his coun-
try, but he is passing it off with in
.dignant growls through his white
moustache.
Tiger Encouraged.
When the special car bethlehem"
owned by Charles M. Schwab. the
steel magnate, who loaned it to Glenn
enceau for the latter's American tour,
arrived in Philadelphia before dawn
this morning, the Tiger, who has
slept late when he is still in bed at
5 o'clock, seemed undismayed at his
apparent failure in Washington to Sc
cure any favorable response from the
government to his appeal.
The Tiger, however, seemed to be
greatly encouraged by President Hard
ing's statement in his message TO
congress yesterday that he hoped
pacts to preserve peace, similar to
the four power Pacific treaty of the
Washington Arms conference would
be established in other parts of the
world
Clemenceau strongly endorsed this
statement in his speech yesterday,
declaring there was more need for
such a pact in Europe than in the Pa
cific.
Clemenceau will speak here today
at the academy of music. The address
will be under the auspices of the Phil
adelphia Forum.
Help Spread independence.
CIemenceau urged that America
come back to Europe and help spread
independence throughout the world.
He was given a long ovation as he
appeared in platform of the Academy
of Music. The academy, profusely
decorated with the Stars and Stripes
and the French tri-color was packed.
The Tiger professed himself as
overwhelmed" by his reception.
81 have no mission" he began, 81
only came to tell you what l think. "
He said he had found, shortly after
he landed in New York that the
charges of militarism and imperialism
had not been believed.
Here / am in the glorious city o.
the immortal William Penn" he con-
tinued "a city of peace And yet

HAMMER MURDERESS
REPORTED FLEEING TO
SOME MEXICAN PORT
(Bv United Press)

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 9.-Clara
Phillips, only condemned murderess
to break Jail in the history of Cali
fornia, had apparently made good her
escape today.
A hundred trails followed by the
authorities proved fruitless.
"Tips" and clews as to her where
abouts continued to pour in and were
traced down. but authorities admitted
Clara probably was not in this coun-
trv. Somewhere in the wild vastness
of Mexico the hammer murderess"
has run to "hole" in the hiding place
arranged by those who aided in her
escape, some officials believed.
Fleeing to Port
Others advanced the theory that
Clara was fleeing by motor or air
plane to some Mexican port where
her passage to a foreign country was
arranged on some tramp steamer. or
sailing vessel
Authorities were investigating the
report she was seen in Juarez, Mexico,
across the border from FL Pase, yes
terday. Madelynne Obenchain, Clara's
friend, who was released from prison
on the day that Clara made her spec
tacular escape, was questioned again.
Authorities declared dozen saws
were found in the Jail.
Clara has forfeited the right to an
appeal which was pending when she
fled. Judge Houser, who tried her,
granted a motion to take no recogni-
ton Of the appeal because of the es-
cape.
If Clara is caught she will be sent
Immediately TO San Quentin peniten'
tiary.

INCREASED VALUE
OF FARM PRODUCTS
BETTERS SITUATION
1Rv Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The gen
eral agricultural situation in the
United States has improved slightly,
as indicated by the monthly agricul-
tural review of the department of ag-
riculture. Cotton, grain and livestock
products prices, as well as prices on
things farmers have to buy, have
risen slowly, the October price index
on 10 farm products being 110 COM
pared with 100 for 1913.
"This has put a little money into
the pockets of some farmers, put
heart into many more, and has done
both for those who carry farm prod
ucts through the channels of trade, y
the review says.
The prices the farmer pays for 9TH
er than food products, according to
the wholesale price index, have risen
to 169 compared with 100 in 1913.
Thus a unit of farm products will
purchase 35 per cent less of other
commodities than it would in 1918.
Note Transitory Movement
November figures indicate an alb
normal movement of population from
farms TO town.
Agricultural conditions in the east
are relatively poor. Potato, apple, hay
and truck growers are thoroughly dis
couraged, the report says. Some poul
try men are doing fairly well, but
most dairymen are having all they can
do to break even.
The cotton belt shows the best gen.
eral recovery of any region as a whole
Cotton is very poor in many years but
those having cotton to sell feel fairly
good at present prices. General bust
ness has been much stimulated
Farmers in the corn belt are some
what encouraged at the rise in grain
prices. A heavy fall run of hogs tC
market, as well as heavy movements
of feeder cattle and sheep to farms is
reported. Winter grains show gooC
stands.
Car Shortage Hampers
Wheat belt shippers have been ham
pered by an almost unprecedented
shortage of freight cars. Winter
wheat stands are reported generally
fairly good. Sheep men in the range
country feel fairly good at sheep, lamt
and wool prices, and the outlook fol
next year is generally considered good
Pacific coast shippers have been ham
pered by car shortage Apple growers
have been hard hit by the low prices
in eastern markets.

ACTION NEEDED
ON PREPARATION
SAYSPOINCARE
No Definite Proposal
Reported Reached
CBy Associated Press)


LONDON, Dec. 9.-The conference
OF allied premiers held a two-hour ses-
sion this afternoon, adjourning for
luncheon shortly before 2 D. m. The
heads of all four delegations - Brit
ish, French, Italian and Belgian-ad-
dressed the gathering, Premier Poin-
care of France holding the floor the
longest.
While Premier Poincare was report
ed not to have reached the point OF
definite proposals, he declared the rep
arations question had arrived at
stage where something radical must
be done. He came prepared, he said,
to discuss with the others, what action
should be taken.
Frances great, interest, he insisted,
must be recognized.
Delegates Present.
Those present besides the premiers
were the finance ministers of Great
Britain, France and Belgium, Count
de Saint Aulaire, the French ambas-
sador, former Minister Jaspar of Bel
gium, and the Italian members of thu
reparatfons commission.
M. Poincare appeared perturbed
when he left his hotel for the confer
ence, having just made denial of a.
charge that France intends to annex
the Rhine regions. He was in good
spirits, however, when he returned,
from which the French attaches drew
inference that the conference was GO
ing we'll
The French premier, it is apparent,
is prepared to examine all proposals
for settlement of the German account,
but he is determined to exact guaran-
tees. He will not look upon failure to
reach an agreement as a collapse of
the entente, believing that the link
between Great Britain and France
would remain unbroken with France
temporarily acting alone.
Await Statement
A statement of the positions to be
| taken by Britain and Italy in the week
end of conversations was eagerly
awaited. Premier Mussolini, arriving
here last night, gave no intimation of
his views on the reparations question.
Mr.. Bonar Law, it is believed, may pre-
sent no program, preferring that the
British government should maintain a
receptive attitude.
The arrival of the new German pro
posals, which were reported yesterday
to be on the way from Berlin, was also
awaited with interest. Unofficial adj
vices said that Chancellor Cuno's sug-
gestions included provision for exten-
sion of the moratorium granted condi-
tionally upon the recent payment Of
treasury notes to Belgium. The exten-
sion, the German government is held
to believe, should go beyond the Brus-
sells conference on the ground that the
future of the reparations question
hinged on the outcome of that gather
ing.

Untermyer Declares Not
Hearing Held on 8 Lock
wood Measures, With Op-
position Directed at One
From n stoN Correspondent


ALBANY. April 10-Governor Miller
expressed doubt at the hearing to day
on the eight housing bills ~ to the
consttutionalty of the measure re
garded by Senator Charles c. Lock
wood and Samuel Untermyer as the
most important of the lot-the bill per-
mitting insurance companies to invest
up to 10 per cent Of their assets in
apartment houses where the monthly
rental shall not exceed 50 room.
Mr.. Untermyer. after spending the
better part of the four hours arguing
/ tho validity Of the bill and setting
forth the good which would come of
it's enactment, declared he was con
been removed
Question of Daration Of Emergency
The Governor raised the question
that one clause in the measure might
be construed to mean that the insur-
ance companies could continue TO build
these low-priced houses beyond the
housing emergency as fixed by the
Legislature.
'The statute said Mr.. Untermyer,
determines that the housing emergency
shall end in February, 1924"
"But this bill" retorted the Governor.
"specities until March /, 1924, or so
housing conditions mentioned in GER
tain acts of the Legislature shall con-
tinue.'
(which contcmplates." replied Mr..
Untermyer, that if the Legislature in
1924 should enact that the emergency
has not ended it should then conclude
by solemn fat or resolution to De ap-
proved by your eXcellency."
"Or some other excellency," said the
Governor, laughing.
We'll as a good Democrat, | hope
not" said Mr.. Untermyer. But it was
only intended and was expressly in
March i, 1924. unless the Legislature
shall extend the time for reasons which
might tten appear to it sufficient"
Are you clear that that would be
the construction ?" inquired the Gov
ernor.
How Emergency Was Determined
THAT is the construction we had in
mind in drawing the bill and | can
conceive of no other,' answered Mr..
Untermyer, "because the housing cmer-
gency was thing that was originally
determined by the Legislature when it
passed the tax exemption law and the
other laws based upon the dctermina-
tion that there was housing cmer-
gency."
Senator Lockwood concurred in all
that Mr.. Untermyer said, and they
were supported by other members of
the Lockwood committee, who told the
Governor that no low-priced apart
ments had been built in New York
