This Week

Washington, Jan. 29.--(By A. P.)--
| Further instructions from Toxic to the
| Japanese delegation brought final
| agreement on the five-power naval
, treaty one step nearer today whit
moves were developing that seemed to
insure a final decision in the Shan
tung controversy within few days.
The exact nature of the Toxic COM
munication was not disclosed but It
was understood to accept, with enc
Or two reservations. the language CO
the Notifications article, the only por-
ton of the naval treaty remaining In
complete. The Japanese government
for listing by name the Pacifi islands
which are not to be further fortified.
but the reply Is in such form that some
further discussion will be necessary.
In the Shantung negotiations there
appeared no outward change in the
situation although there was evidence
that increasing pressure was being
brought to bear for a settlement The
prediction was that day or two more
ing acceptance of the settlement plan
supported by President Harding.
Another factor of delay to the pro-
gress of the conference was partially
overcome during the day when the
Italians received instructions from
Rome approving the proposal to pro-
hibt importations Of arms and ammu-
milton into China. The Netherlands
delegation also is waiting for word
from home on the subject.
BY some of the delegates it was
predicted that both the naval and the
Far Eastern committees might meet
tomorrow, the former to discuss the
Notifications article and the latter to
take action upon the arms export res
olution. 1t alsoSis possible that the
Japanese ana Chinese may come to-
gether before tomorrow night to at?
tempt to clear away the last remaining
Gissgreements over Shantung.
Two of the conference treaties. the
four-power Pacific convention and the
five power naval pact, are virtually
complete. The Japanese and Chinese
experts are at work on the proposed
Shantung treaty. most of which re-
mains to be written. and at the same
time the zap treaty between the mutt
ed States and Japan is nearing COM
pletion. Much remains to be done on
the six-power agreement to allocate
the former German cables in the Pa
ciflc, while a particularly difficult sit
uation has developed in the framing of
the nine-power Far Eastern agree
ment.
In their Far Eastern deliberations
the delegates have adopted II reso:u
tons relating to China and at least two
more, relating to arms Importation
and othe Chinese eastern railway.
are in prospect.
Difficulty is presented In regard to
the resolutions adopted regarding SUBJ
marines and poison gas. They are not
in the naval treaty and so far no sep
arate treaty to cover them has been
proposed.
In view Of the decision to have an
other conference in the near future on
rules of warfare. it Is being proposed
in some circles merely to leave the
submarine and poison gas agreements
to be passed on in their present form
as representing the viewpoint Of the
powers.

Over Hundred Hurt

The list Of injured totalled 134 to-
night and of these IA were recorded
as having sustained serious hurts.
Caught beneath the falling beams
which had been designed to act as
traverse support for the roof, scores
were taken to hospitals suffering
with broken limbs or severe internal
injuries. Many syore given imme-
date medical attention at improvised
: stations hastily erected near the
! scene Of the disaster.
The knickerbocker, one of the
| newest and largest of the Capitol's
motion picture houses. was rated as
| one of the most exclusive. drawing
its patronage from the northwest
| residential section in the vicinity of
upper Connecticut avenue.
Family groups predominated in the
audience which gathered last night
to watch the showing OF a rollicking
comedy and it was upon these that
the roof, backed by tons of wet snow,
descended with barely a whispered
warning. In the entire audience but
| one person was found who had be-
come aware Of impending doom in
time to reach an exit. A number of
others worked their way to safety
through scant openings in the wreck
age.
Exploration of the ruins went
on unchecked after dark, but those
in charge believed few additional
bodies would be found. Without
regard to their own risk, soldiers,
marines. sailors. police, firemen and
citizens volunteers had fought their
way beneath the wreckage over prac-
tically the whole floor space of the
auditorium.
The exact number in tho theatre
when the steel and concrete span of
the roof buckled AMI fell under it's
three foot load of snow probably
never will be known.
The stories of perhaps a hundred
who got out uninjured have been re-
ported. These accounts for few
