SHANTUNG CASE
 HOLDS SPOTLIGHT
 AT ARMS FARLEY
Naval Treaty Is Virtually CompIeted-Reply Expect ed From Tokio on Pa
 cific Notifications
By AssooInted Presa

Washington, January 13.-With the naval treaty virtually completed, the arms delegates are preparing to turn the conference spotlight on Shantung, apparently in the hope that a settlement of that controversy may make it easier to go ahead with other troublesome problems of the far east.
 It now is the expectation in confer ence circles that during the next few days. and probably until de- cision is reached. the shantung nego- tiations will have right of way while discussion of other far eastern sub 1ects remains at standstill.
 So far the Shantung exchanges have taken place between the Jap anese and Chinese alone with Ameri- can and British observers present, but the next phase of the conference program is expected at least 70 con centrate upon the problem the friend ly interest Of all the governments represented here.
 At their meeting today the Jap anese and Chinese groups reached all agreement for opening up the entire Kiaochow leased territory to for elgn trade, and tomorrow they are to take up others of the collateral questions involved in restoration or the leasehold to China. Their ses- stons are expected to las, throughout the day. and form the only item ap- bearing on tomorrow's conference program.
 Few Details
 In the naval negotiations only a few details considered more or less perfunctory remain to be arranged. An agreement has been reached re- garding methods of scrapping. under which discarded battleships may be converted in some eases into airplano carriers and training ships, and a ifinal agreement relating to Pacific Qualifications awaits a reply expect ed hourly from Tokio.
 If present plans develop the final draft of tha naval treaty will be laid next week and will be publicly an nounced at pIenary session of the conference a few days later One possible element Ot delay a concluding the naval convention was eliminated today wheu tue French delegation received instructions from President Millerand to go ahead witt. its conference duties regardless O. the cabinet crisis at Paris. Albert Surraut head of the French here. indicated that he interpreted the message as giving him full power to sign the treaty unless some unex- pected question of req importance appears in the negotiations

SENATE BODY IS COMPETENCE NEW
 TARIFF MEASURE
Receives Recommendations for the Protection of Farm Products Duty on Short
 Staple Cotton
By Assoeinted Press

Washington, January 13.-Final discussion of the basis of assessing the import duties which are to be written into the new tariff bill was started today by republican members of the Senate finance committee,
 They hope to reach a decision on this. the most important and diff cult phase of the whole tariff prob lem, before the end of next week, and then the actual work of con- structing the rates will be under taken, The hope now is that the bill can be reported to the Senate around March 1.
 Besides discussing the American valuation plan and various substi- tutes with members of the tariff com mission and the court of customs ap- peals, the committeeman received from the Senate republlcan-farmer- tariff bloc recommendations as to rates on farm products. These in cluded suggested duty of , cents a pound on short staple cotton, which always has been on the free list, and a rate of 22 cents pound on wool. on the basis of the secured conten;; as against the 25 cents proposed in the Fordney bill. Rates at increases over those in the Fordney bill on wheat oats and many other prod ucts also were urged.
 Shoot Amendment
 In entering upon their discussion of the basis of assessing dutes. the committee members had in confer encc with them Thomas c. Marvi;. and William Burgess of the tariff commission and Judge Marion De- vries. a member of the court If GUS toms appeals. They indorsed the plan outlined in an amendment pro posed yesterday by Senator Smoor of Utah assessing duties on the basis of the selling price or the imported ar ticle in the American market rather than on the value of the comparable article produced in the United States the Fordney bill proposal
 Besides discussing this proposal at some length, the committeeman went into general discussion of the American valuation plan as written into the Fordney bill and severa substitutes for it which have been proposed. Ii was said that the dis cussion did not develop any definite trend of opinion among senators for any one plan. It was learned. how ever. that several senators arc lean ing to the proposal in the latest Shoot amendment.

A STRANGE CASE

a young man arrived in the city
Monday from Holhrook who was
suffering from lapse of memory
and who is in need of sympathy. He
cannot tell where his home is and
has told several different tales. He
states that his name is Chas Card
well and all that he can remember
is that he is member of the Elks
belonging to No. 62S and he thinks
it is located at Oklahoma City. He
further states he is member of
the American Legion. Both of these
orders are in communication with
various lodges. The Elks have no
No. 62S lodge at Oklahoma City but
the lodge of this number is located
at Milford, Mass. At this writing
his relatives or friends have not
been located. He further states that
he was injured while making a
transcontinental trip with an un-
known couple in a Ford car He
was furnishing the gasoline and
driving the car They experienced
trouble at Holbrook and while he
was attempting to repair the car
the man of the party drove into him
and injured his and since that time
he has suffered a lapse of memory
and cannot recall his home. They
placed him on the train and bought
him a ticket to this city. He car
ries three insurance policies and it
is hoped to shortly be able to clear
up the mystery and if possible ap-
prehend the guilty parties who in
jured the young fellow

is it possible that Legionnairs are

expenditure of $15OO.0O, which in
American money is a big sum- OF
course, good people, please do not
gasp for air; you see most of the
Legionnairs are used to making their
budget in Francs and Marks.
we expect to give the public some
kind of program even though we
cannot do all we planned for.
The Legion decided that a com
mittee of members will interview the
business people, laying the general
outline before them and see if we
could not give all joyful good time
kiddies and all. Remember you
should not go elsewhere for the 4th !:
stay at home, bring your friends
here from other towns; boost for
your own home and talk about it al,
much as you can.
We regret that our notice last
week concerning the state bonus of
