In regard to this, also, acceptances still are await Ing from other governments. It Is possible the delegates instructions will be sufficiently complete, however, To permit meeting of the naval com mittee of the whole tomorrow.
 The Chinese, moving to break their deadlock with the Japanese over Shantung. took steps toward more direct employment of the proffered good offices' of Secretary Hughes and Arthur J. Balfour. the respect i've heads of the American and Brit ish delegations, was approached per- sonally by the Chinese representa- tives, and in some quarters definite results are expected within a few days.
 Following the example of the Americans, the British group indi- eated that it will have no objection to the Japanese proposal to clarify further the score of the new four power Pacific treaty so that It will not apply to the principal islands of the Japanese empire. A definite dec- laration on the subject to be approved " N%aS AONA pOMtIS IS uIl- derstood to be in preparation.
 Meantime work on two important collateral features of the conference, involving technical details of the ma val settlement and revision of the Chinese tariff system, moved for ward in subcommittees with a prom ise of early conclusion. The maya! experts subcommittee spent all day clearing away the remaining loose ends of the naval agreement, and the tariff subcommittee is understood, at session late in the day, to have reached a virtual decision regarding the readtustment of China's tariff schedule.
 Before the meeting of the tariff body it's chairman. Senator Underwood of the American delegation, con- ferred at length with Albert Sarraut, head of the French group, and they are said to have discussed the e-par- tieular interest of France in the new Chinese fiscal arrangement, arising out of conditions along the border of French Indo-China. The entire sub ject of the open door Is understood to have been reviewed by the tw ) delegates with the result that the work of the subcommittee was facili- tated materially.

PLAN OF FINANCING
 ANNOUNCED IN NEW vOuK

l
 New York, January 3.--A plan ot rev financing by the newly organ ized National Power and Light com pany, intended to rehabilitate trolley and electric light concerns in siS southern cities controlled by the American Cities company and end
 ceivership for three of them. was an- nounced today.
 Absorption by the new organiza- tion of the controlling company's . and per cent collateral trust bonds on which there had been defaults two years ago, is a feature of the plan.
 Three of the companies affected and which are now in receivership are the Birmingham, Railway, Light and Power company; Memphis Street Railway company, and New Orleans Railway and Light company. It was agreed by the committee of the Amer ican Cities company, which decided on the plan, that the affairs of the New Orleans company should be left in control of the Chase National bank of New York.
 Other Companies | The other companies involved In the refnancing are the Houston Light ing and Power company, Knoxville Railway and Light company and the Little Rock Railway and Electric company. Under the agreement sub ject to the approval of the bond owners of the American Cities com pany, they will receive in exchange for their present holdings new bonds and common and preferred stock in the National Power and Light com pany in the proportion of 55 per cent in 50-year per cent income bonds ot the National Power and Light com pany, organized under the laws of New Jersey; 25 per cent in cumulative preferred stock and 35 per cent in common stock. The stock is to have a par value of s100 for the purpose of applying the percentage, but in real ity is to be issued without par value. American Cities preferred stock holders will be entitled for every 20 shares, to purchase block of the new companys securities consisting of $1O0 bond and seven shares of common stock for s242.50.
 With approval of the bondholders, 1t is planned to rehabilitate the properties with the assistance of the Electric Bond and Share company, which, with Isidore Newman & Son. has agreed to purchase $2,O0O,OOO or the proposed blocks of securities.
 Newman to Supervise
 The Electric Bond and Share com pany will have charge of further su- pervision, development, financing and engineering projects connected with the National Power and Light com pany. For a limited time the prop critics will be supervised by J. K. Newman. chairman of the committee which drafted the reorganization scheme. and William M. Flock, presi- dent of the Memphis Gas and Electric company.
 The committee concluded that the Memphis street car company's prop erty would be improved if operated in combination with the properties of the Memphis Gas and Electric com pany. mortgages of which are being foreclosed.
 The new company has contracted to buy the bonds secured by these mortgages now in default, paying 55 per cent of the principal in its 50-

HARRISON LOSES FIRST ROUND IN FIGHT FOR
 DANCING AT EAST LAKE
(ContInued from Page One)

dancing hall at East Lake She de- | clared it would be reflection on Commissioner Harrison to say he could not regulate the hall as well as other dance halls operated in the | city. There is no law against danc- ing, she declared, and it should be allowed there if 1t Is permitted any where in the city. There are hun dreds of boys and girls who. do not belong to the various social clubs and cannot dance there and they would enjoy the dance hall at East Lake. Mrs. Echols said she did not think it was rlght for the commission to legislate against them. In part, she said as follows:
 Young people, and older ones. are dancing in Birmingham, and if 1t is respectable and right and according to the law made and provided for a young lady to go to the Country club in a limousine and dance for hours without any criticism on the part of the city authorities, then 1t is just as right and just as respectable for a girl who has waited on tables in a restaurant or stood behind a counter or pounded the keys of a typewriter all day to go to East Lake and dance. The possession of money does not al- ways guarantee that its owners are better morally than the people who work for their daily bread, but it does open many avenues of pleasure to them which are denied to the man and woman of small means"
 of dancing is immoral, let us
 stop 1t by nII means-in every
 section of the city, and let us be-
 gin at once to see that there is
 no dancing at the Southern club.

 T am opposed to the redIieht dis trlct, because l do not believe thar Vlclous conditions are helped bv al towing immortality to flourish in any one section and forbidding it in an other. I believe the same rule an plies to dancing. I can see no rea- son Tor confining dancing to certain dlstrlcts and places which can only De frequentel by people of means. I say again, if it is wrong let us stop It, ana let us be courageous enough to stop it among those citizens who are of social and financial importance Tn our city, the records of whose dances are written up in detail In our social columns. These are the people who should be made to set an example to those who are of less i'm portance in the community.
