PACT To DODGE
ALLIED TREATY
NOW PROPOSED
White House SeeksSep-
arate Arbitration
With Germany.
$4,000, 600 Loan to Ii
IBERIA Also Arranged
at Conference.

Washington. Jan. 24.-(By The AS
sociated Pressl A new treaty be-
tween the United States and Germany
to create commission for arbitration
of private damage claims growing out
Of the world war probably will be me-
gotiated under Il decision reported to
have been reached Tuesday night at
the White House between President
Harding, Secretary Hughes and repub-
lican leaders Of the senate and house.
Another new administration policy
said to have been agreed upon. was for
q loan Of $1,000, 900 to Liberia.
The Genoa economic conference, the
treaties resulting from the armament
conference, and other international
problems, it was said. were not dis
cussed at the conference.
Wish to Escape Versailles TangIe
Under the treaty of Berlin. by which
the United States concluded peace
with Germany, the United States re-
serves the right to participate with the
allies in arbitral commission already
established abroad for the adjudication
Of war claims. The question of the
United States joining this commission
was said to have been thoroughly can
yassed by the president with Secretary
Hughes and the senate and house lead
ers, many Of whom are members of
the committees dealing with foreign re-
lati0ns. If America was to participate
in the established arbitration commits
sion under the treaty of Versailles, it
was said that action within three
weeks would be necessary. Because
of the recognized hostility of many re-
publican senators to particirat ton in
engagements of the Versailles treaty,
the concensus of opinion at the CON
ference was said to have been that ac-
ton under the treaty Of Berlin would
be impracticable.
Liberian Loan Moral Obligation
Secretary Hughes was said to have
the opinion, with concur
renee of the congressional leaders, that
of new treaty with the
German government to set up the war
claims arbitration commission would be
a simpler solution.
The Liberian loan question was said
to involve merely renewal of the
S., 100000 loan agreement made during
the war The loan never was consum-
mated and the money expired with the
of the peace status The
president and his advisers were said
to take the view, however, that there
was an impelling moral obligation to
make the loan new, in payment Of
war expenditures made by Liberia.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-(By The Associ-

shop rules recently promulgated by
the railroad labor board which cut
time -and-half pay for extra work from
the shopmen's wages, was ordered
Tuesday by the committee of 100, act
ing for the six railway shop crafts.
In circular issued to the 100000
shop workers, the committee ordered
new disputes instituted with the rail-
these rules and, failing an agreement,
the disputes were orderd taken to
the labor board.
Sundays and Holidays Crux
Of the seven rejected rules, the
greatest dissatisfaction centered on rule
6. providing straight time for reg
ulariy assigned work on Sundays and
holidays. This work previously was
paid for at time and one half. The
committee proposed q substitute rule
reinstating time -and-o half.
The boards new rules covering en-
ployes assigned to emergency road
work and to fill temporary vacancies
at outlying points also were rejected
by the committee because they took
away certain pay provisions contained
in the old national agreement.
Object to Physical Exams
The union committee directed insti-
tuition of dispute stl reinstate time
and-one- half and double time to cover
all time spent on emergency assign
ments. Similar provisions will be asked

Soviets End Career
Of Monk Preying on
Women's Credulity

RevaI, Esthonia, Jan. 24.-Rus-
sian soviet authorities, according
to Petrograd newspapers, have
ended abruptly the career Of a
monk, who, claiming to be a sec
ond Messiah, attempted to follow
in the footsteps of the notorious
Russian monk, Rasputin.
The monk, Vladimir Tarabayev
founded at Novaiadervnia, near
Petrograd. a church of his own.
He claimed wonderful healing pow
ers and the creduIous fIocked to his
cell.
As the number of his followers,
chiefly women, grew, Tarabayev,
according to soviet officials, select
ed among them a number whom he
called his ANGELS" who occupied
his house with him.
He was sentenced to three years

CARDINAL MERCER
AMONG FOREIGNERS
PROPOSED FOR POPE
Belgian Will Get Less Than 2e
Votes Required; N0n-Ital-
ian Prelate Dies.

Washington, Jan. 24-(By The AS
sociated Press. AS result of the
death of Cardinal Almaraz Santos
archbishop of Toledo, Spain, which oc-
Cured one day after the death Of the
pope, it is said the nom Italian cardinals
who will enter the next conclave will
be reduced to 20, as against 81 Italians
1t is considered probable here that
Cardinal O'Connell, who is said to be-
long to the group supporting the cleo
ton of Cardinal Merry del Val, will not
arrive in Rome before the proclama-
ton of the new pope, nor will Cardinal
Dougherty, of Philadelphia, who is
said to favor Cardinal Gasparri.
SIS Expected to Participate
Other cardinals who, it is believed,
probably will not participate in the
opening Of the conclave are Begin,
archbishop of Quebec; Cavalcanti. arch
bishop of Rio de Janeiro; and Frisco,
archbishop of Naples. In such an
event there will be but 55 cardinals
present February 2.
The most popular foreign candidate
now, it is considered will be Cardinal
MERCER, but he is expected here to
receive only the votes Of the five
French cardinals. two English, two
Poles, one Canadian, one Portuguese,
one Czecho- -Slovak, and perhaps half
the Italians, making less than % votes.
The only possibility of returning
now, after several centuries y a
non Italian pope, it is believed lies in
the selection of Cardinal Merry del
Val. who, because of his long sojourn
in Rome, is considered as an Italian.
Yet his election is considered improb-
able.
Austria's Veto Gone
The question whether the pope will
be chosen from among the older gen
Grafton of cardinals or the younger
element also is prominent. The sacred
college is composed Of six cardinals
between the ages Of 80 and 80; 19 be-
tween 70 and so; 23 between 60 and
70. and IA between so and 60.
The disappearance from the scene
of the Austrian ambassador will be
another feature of the conclave.
Austria from time immemorial claim
ed, and in 1903 exercised against
Rampolla, the right of veto. The right
Of veto was officially abolished by
Pope Plus X

Washington, Jan. 24-Some sign
of differences appeared in the nationa
agricultural conference, opened Mon
ing, when it got down to work on de
tails. Tuesday afternoon, and commit
tees held their first meetings. A mo
ton by J. s. Wannamaker, of Soutl
Carolina, for appointment of commit
tee on resolutions, was defeated on th.
ground that the committees alread,
appointed were expected to consider
resolutions.
Cut and Dried, He Says
Mr.. Wannamaker issued a statemen
attacking the conference and declared
about all the farmers and farm lead
crs have to do is to shake hands with
the president, meet some official dig
nitaries, partake of little ice cream
and then go home
Selection of the committees has
been made in such manner he said
''as to suggest that those responsible
for such selection are either totally
ignorant Of the qualifications of the
delegates or have lent themselves tc
a cut and dried scheme to prevent the
forward looking farmer representatives
from gaining any good whatever out
of the conference.
"He was confident" he continued
'that it was the purpose of those re-
sponsible for the conference to destroy
the farm bloc"
.'The presidents address," he con-
tainued, indicated very clearly that
such was the purpose
Commodity Loans Plan
The committees in organizing pro-
yided. in many cases, for distributing
Tho suhjects before them to subcom-
mittees.
One question in which the delegates
as whole are interested is that Of
commodity financing. One member Of
the committee on agricultural credit
and insurance, which has this subject
under consideration, suggested that a
plan probably could be worked out to
provide for commodity loans running
from six months to three years. His
proposition would proyide for the
warehousing, grading and inspection of
commodities. Endorsement by their To-
cal banks of commodity paper present
ed by the farmers and the handling of
this paper through the federal farm
loan bank system, which would either
discount it through the federal reserve
system or RESERVE ueDcusuies hsolASt
the loans in the form Of certificates of
Indebtedness to be sold on the open
market.
How Stockmen Would Fare
The committee also has at its dis
posal the report of the joint congress
sional agricultural inquiry commission.
an intermediate form Of
credits which would gtrs the agricul-
tural producers working capital.
Livestock producers, under one plan.
would have their paper discounted by
the local banks and rediscounted by
the farm loan banks through the fed
eral reserve system. On other COM
modities, one plan would have loans
made direct to farmers through CO.
loan associations, the COM
modities being covered by proper ware
house receipts.
Like Henry Ford's Proposal
Proposals already put forward in
the conference to indorse Henry Ford's
offer for MUSCLE Shoals and compile
