WASHINGTON, May IA deci-
sion by the interstate commerce COM
mission of vital interest to the entire
country, the general railroad rate or
der, is expected within the next few
days.
It is understood that the delay in
announcing a decision on railroad
freight rates has been caused by the
attitude assumed by few of the mem
bers of the commission. 1t has been
unofficially reported that four mem
bers recently stood for a reduction in
rates on certain commodities, four
were for no reduction of any kind,
and three favored reduced rates for
all classes of freight.
1t has been reported that the inter
state commerce commission, is of the
opinion that it cannot legally compel
reductions to an extent which will sat
isfy certain sections of the public and
business interests.
The president, it is said, was recent
ly advised to that effect and many be
lieve it had much to do with the presi
dents decision to call a meeting OF
Is leading railroad executives at the
White House next Saturday. At that
meeting the rate question will be thor
oughly discussed.

ers numbering more than six thousand
in Cincinnati have received sanction
of the general executive board of the
International Boot and Shoe Workers
Union to go on strike next Saturday,
in protest against a ten per cent re-
duction in wages All factories in the
city are affected with the exception OF
two, where agreement has been reach
ed for the continuance of the present
wage scale.
Charles L. Baine, general secretary
treasurer of the International union
declared last night that 1--WE were con
vinced the proper thing to do was to
sanction the strike"
William H. Tateman, secretary OF
the Manufacturers association here
said members of his association would
make no further concessions, as they
felt they had gone the limit and that
had the ten per cent reduction been
accepted it would still leave Cincin
natl with a comparatively high wage
in a competitive industry. The manu-
facturers last February filed demand
with the shoe workers union demand
ing a thirty-five per cent cut but this
later was cut down to ten per cent

CHILE-PERU PARLEY
is REPORTED FACED
BY SEvEREST TEST
CRv Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, May 17.-The Chill
ean-Peruvian conference today was
brought suddenly face TO face with
what many diplomatic observers re-
garded as its severest test.
The recognized crucial issue of the
entire controversy involving the valid
ity of the Ancon-treaty provision for a
plebiscite in Tacna-Arica, came to the
fore Unexpectedly through the decision
of Chile to propose immediate discus
sion of a method by which that provi
sion could be fulfilled
Peru's plenipotentiaries manifestly
disappeared at the direction thus given
the negotiations at the very outset re
served comment but indicated that
when their reply was made, it would
be far from an unconditional accep
tance of the Chilean view. 1t was re
called that in its last formal express
sion on the subject, contained in g
note sent to Chile on December 81 last
Peru declared that something more
than a plebiscite" would be necessary
now to decide the sovereignty of Tao
na-Arica, and that the plebiscite pro
vision had been invalidated by failure
to hold the election in 1894 the date
fixed by the treaty.
Use Harding's Words
Chile on the other hand, used as
the point of departure for her pro
posal, the words of President Hard
ing's invitation for the Washington
conference as repeated by Secretary
Hughes Monday in his address of wei
come. The purpose of the Washing
ton negotiations was defined in the
presidents note as to discuss treaties
arising out of the unfulfilled provi
sions Of the treaty.
AS a consequence of the sudden
prominence given this difference ot
views between the two governments
optimism over the success of the di
rect negotiations here was not really
diminished, and there was a cores
ponding increase in speculation ovel
the possible mediatory steps by some
outside government. Privately, ever
some of the delegates themselves were
discussing the comparative feasibility
of the various forms of arbitration
which have been suggested informally
In all these discussions indications
pointed to the United States as the
probable arbitrator, should that form
of settlement be agreed upon. Ii
some quarters it was suggested alsC
that Argentina and Brazil might joiI
with the Washington government il
making up an arbitration court.

new YORK MAN HUNT
ENDS IN ARREST OF
-FOUR MEN IN LOFT

NEW YORK, May E-Four men
were arrested in a loft building at
Twentieth street and Fifth avenue to-
day after the police had searched
more than line nours for burglars.
All traffic was diverted from the block
and solid Gordon of officials was
maintained about it.
1t was the most spectacular man
hunt in New York in years.
Detectives crossed roofs into a
fourth story window of the building.
Suddenly they were attacked in the
dark. They returned the fire. Two
men were caught on the fourth floor.
Two others sliding down the creased
elevator cables were overpowered in
/ the basement.
| The men were believed to have been
seeking $4,000 reported to be stored
| every Tuesday night in a safe in the
building. The building is protected
| by burglar alarm.
The detectives received tip more
than two weeks ago that crooks were
planning a raid on textile concerns in
the block They allowed the robbers
| plenty of time to bore through side
of the building, hoping to catch the
! ban red-handed.
Smashing into the building in which
| the crooks were working against the
adjacent wall, the detectives found on
| the top floor a tunnel partly bored in
to the wall and complete burglar out
fit, including dynamite, nitroglycerin
! and storage batteries with wires at
! tached for setting off the blast. Near
| the spot where the dynamite had been
! inserted were bloodstains, indicating
| that one of the crooks had hurt his
| hand in the boring process.
! In the three minutes that elapsed
! from the time the police smashed into
the ground floor, the crooks had dis
appeared No trace of the band could
| be picked up for several hours. Sew
| eral thousand people watched the po
| lice at work with flashlights and gas
! torches, securing every building in the
! block from cellar to roof. To add to
! the excitement a false alarm accident
! ally was turned in and fire apparatus
| brought to the scene.
When there came the fusillade
! which preceded the capture of the
quartet the crowds scurried to safety
not knowing when bullets might come
their way.

FRANCE READY
TO CONFER ON
DEBTS TO U. S.
Informs American War Debt
Funding Commission 1t is
Ready to Send Special Mis-
sion to America.
PICK REPRESENTATIVES
(Bv Assnciated Press)

PARIS, May 1.-THE French gov
ernment has informed the American
war debt funding commission that it
is ready to send a special mission to
the United States to confer regarding
the payment of the French debt.
Finance Minister De Lasteyrie rec
commended to the cabinet today that
a special mission, headed by Jean Par
mentier, administrator of the ministry
of finance, be sent to the United
States to confer with the debt fund
ing commission over the payment OF
the principal and interest of the
American war advances to France.
Premier Poincare accordingly handed
a note to Ambassador Herrick to this
effect, asking the commission to noti-
fly the French government when it
would be most convenient to take up
the question
Need Direct Contact
M. De Lasteyrie, after a careful
study of the situation, decided that a
direct contact was necessary for a
satisfactory understanding of the sit
uation. The ministry has been busy
in preparing data since the receipt of
the recent note from the American
debt funding commission, saying it
would be glad to receive the French
governments observation on what it
had to offer concerning the payment
of the interest on the debt and the
amortization on the capital, and on M.
De Lasteyrie's recommendation Pre-
mier Poincare decided to send NJ. Par
mentier to Washington with several
treasury experts.
NJ. Parmentier is considered the
best equipped man in the ministry for
such negotiations. He will, it is said,
make full and frank statement of the
situation of Frances finances and
then ask the debt funding commits
sion for a specific declaration of wha;
1t expects from France.
The French budget for 1923 makes
no provision for the payment of either
interest or capital on the French deby
to the United States.

churia and Outer and Inner Mongolia
for the moment transcends all other
issues in China because of Gen. Chang
Tso-Lin's defiance of the Peking gov
ernment and his avowed intention of
establishing an independent empire in
those provinces.
The presence of large bodies of Gen.

General WI has urged the Peking

ers not to have relations with Chang,
whom he desires to prevent from OBJ
| tanning any foreign aid or negotiating
any concessions in Manchuria and it is
understood that Foreign Minister Yen
will inform the legations shortly that
China will~not recognize any agree
ment concluded without the consent
of Peking.
Notification Lacking.
The government announces that it
has not yet received notification of
Chang Tso-Lin's declaration of inde-
pendence and the legations are en-
deavoring to ascertain whether the
proclamation was personally sanction
ed by the Manchurian general
Copies of declaration purported to
have been signed by Chang have been
-Azs..
1t is addressed to "all the foreign min
listers in Peking and all the foreign
consuls in Tientsin." Failure of its
receipts by the Peking government is
attributed in some quarters to WI
Pei-Fu's control of the telegraph lines
The first paragraph of the declara
ton refers to President Hsu-Shih
Chang's mandate in dismissing Chang
as inspector-general of Manchuria and
continues: "Esi Shih-Chang request
ed me to give up three eastern pro
vinces, the District of Johol, the dis
trict Chahar and Inner and Outer Mon
golia. These regions henceforth shall
not be regarded as part of the terri
tory of the Chinese republic"
Another provision is that Chang
alone shall have power to make trea
ties for the regions named.

GENEVA, May 1.-THE council for
the League of Nations decided today
to hold a special meeting not later
than July Is to consider the question
of approving the British mandate for
Palestine. The decision was taken on
request of the Earl of Balfour. He
first asked for a meeting within six
weeks to act on the mandate, but
Leon Bourgeois, for France, and Mar
quis Imperili. for Italy. objected.
Lord Balfour in a speech before the
council said Great Britain was great
ly disappointed that the present ses-
sion had failed to register the leagues
consent to the terms of the mandate
which the allied powers had long ago
agreed upon. 1t has been the opposi-
ton of the French and Italian repre-
sentatives which has blocked the
measure, while the vatican is reported
to have expressed fears that religious
interests in the Holy Land would not
be safeguarded under the terms pre-
viously laid down.
Lord Balfour told the council that
those who hoped and those who feared
that the Palestine mandate was placed
in jeopardy by the opposition mani.
tested were mistaken.
In some quarters, he continued, II
was feared that the British mandate
might affect some religious organiZa
Itions unfavorably. Great Britain was
amazed, he said, that such a baseless
view should be expressed over the
| transfer of Palestine from a Moham
medan to a Christian power.
