FARLEY REACHES CRISIS Progress Toward Agree ment Is Halted By
 Wrangles
lRy AssOciated Press.l

GENEVA, Nov. 15.-Charges and embittered today's ses- sion of the International Opium con- ference on the Far Eastern opium pro- blems and although the conference should have finished it's work tonight, so that a report on it's conclusions might be presented to the general con- ference to open Monday, it seemed as far from agreement as when the ses- sions began a fortnight ago.
 China charged that if the great pow CTS had not adopted effective meas ures to reduce opium smoking in the Far East, such as rationing and the they did not wish to do so.
 England charged Japan with attack ing the British government during the discussion over the Japanese proposal that countries exporting opium should recognized the import certificates issued by other countries, when the documents declare that the opium is for legitimate purposes. Sir Malcolm Delevingne, speaking for Great Britain, disclosed that private negotiations concerning exportation and trans-shipment of opium have been going on between London and Tokio, and he expressed that Japanese should raise the question at Geneva.
 Replying, the Japanese delegate in- dicated Japan had broken off these negotiations preferring to bring the question before the conference. The de- bate became so heated it looked for a time as If the conference would be disrupted. NJ. Sugimura announced Japan would never sign an opium con- vention unless it was built on good faith, and he refused to vote on the question of whether the next meeting of the conference should be held tomor- row or Monday, saying: T shall not vote because have said my last word"

position of the shoals. It is understood that in the session approaching, he will remain fixed by his guns. His posi- tion is not dissimilar from that of the ''monopolists."
 Tonight Senator Oscar w. Under wood declared that an offer, previous ly hinted at as possibility and an approximation in points of excellence of the Ford offer, had not materialized to his knowledge.
 The senator has not been able to in- terview the secretary of war respecting the Muscle Shoals plans of the admin istration. Early next week, however, he will do so, he said. It is not be- lieved that the administration will make any suggestion unless it be repetition of the Presidents recommendation that a commission for further study be raised by congress. Senator Under wood and associates, it is known, would not accept such q recommendation.

WAR PROFITEERS| PUT UNDER BAN BY ANTAGONISTS
Only Officeholders Who Oppose Strife To Be
 Supported

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 15.-Con- scription in wartime of wealth and la bor as well as human life is demanded in a report submitted here today to the board of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church. by the commission which was appointed at the general con- ference in Springfield last May to for mulate plans for world peace.
 "Methodism is set to place as great an odium on war profiteers as is placed upon slackers," the report states. ."We hold the cause of peace dearer than party allegiance and shall tolerate no dilatory or evasive attitudes on the part of those who represent us in legislative halls. Methodism calls upon all her people to support for public office only those who are pledged to secure the out lawry of war.
 To Make Call Effective
 "The bishops are determined to make effective Methodism's creed on peace, which declares that war is not inevit- able; it is the supreme enemy of man. kind and its continuance is the suicide of civilization. Methodism is grimly determined to outlaw the whole war system. They dare to remind the gov ernments which ignore the Christian conscience of men in time of peace that they cannot justly claim the lives of men in time of war. Methodism has set herself to create both the will to peace and the conditions of peace. Meth odism declares that selfish nationalism, economic imperialism and militarism must cease"
 Bishop Thomas Henderson of Gin cinnati, asserted that the board of bish- ops is in favor of calling an interna- tional conference looking toward the limitation armaments and world peace.
 Bishop Mcdowell, chairman of the commission on world peace appointed by the last general conference, reported that the commission was in correspond ence with representative leaders of oth- CT churches seeking suggestions on a proposed peace conference of all the Christian forces of America and the rest of the world. Such world con- ference was authorized by the last gen eral conference when the commission on world peace was appointed under the instruction that it consider the best plans and methods for making the i'm pact of the worldwide religious senti- ment against the evils of war.
 Conferences Set
 Assignments of bishops were made for the spring conferences, and the dates set These included: Atlanta confer ence, Rome, Ga, December 3, Bishop E. G. Richardson; florida conference, Jacksonville, June 2S, Bishop E. G. Richardson; Gulf conference, Welsh, La., December 3, Bishop Ernest L.. Waldorf.

Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Report to the effect that an offer for Muscle Shoals approximating the withdrawn offer of Henry Ford would develop from the visit next week of the H. linois Manufacturers association to the North Alabama plants, is discounted here today.
 The proposed visit is regarded of no unusual significance, although the pres ence of Senator William B. Mckinley, multi-millionaire power magnate, sug- gested possibilities. It is understood that the trip is based on a desire of the manufacturers to form trade alliances in the south, and while doing so to enjoy vacation.

 While the movement still is in a pre- liminary stage and those responsible for it profess inability to say where Dit may lead, no secret is made of the hope that it may result ultimately in the creation as, separate and distinct branch of the military service of re serve women's army corps to be formed through voluntary enlistment.
 Chiefs Urge Move
 Recommendations that such a corps be created already have been made by the commission on training camp activi- ties by war college committees and by the chiefs of several war department branches. These prompted the distri- button among all commanding generals ',of corps areas of a questionnaire ask 6ng information for use by the general staff and upon which the study it IS making may take definite form.

WHERE OUR MONEY GOES

The tax. mill levy has steadily
increased in Colorado during the
past ten years from 1,30 in 1913 to
i.4S today-nearly three and one
half times as much. In the mean
time the valuation of state tax
able property has increased from
sl,306 .307 to only $f,54S,6l7 ,s97
or about 90 per cent. while the
bonded Indebtedness is now near
ly three times as great Collections
however, are nearly four and half
times as much. due to the big in
crease in Miscellaneous collections
like the newer ear and oil taxes.
The money for these taxes comes
mainly from seven sOurces-nearly
80 pier cent of it, as follows: on
each dollar Highway Commission
OPS. Gasoline tax etc. 1894 Land
sales etc. .0604. Sec. of State etc
0745 State roads etc .0s0S Sale of
Highway Bonds 1874. General tax.
es from counties 1896.
Where does the money go? Out
of each dollar the Highway Com
mission gets BAL which is about
the total of the county taxes paid
to the state Educational institu-
lions get 1856. .1136 is remitted to
cities and counties Charity and
relief Institutions of the state get
,0592 Educational buildings get
05l5 Military ranges and armories
get 04l5 and tho purchase of bonds
and interests eat up .0369 These
seven items total nearly the so per
cent received by the seven sources
of income previously mentioned.
1t is significant that the small
est expenditure listed for the dis
bursement OF state money is for
printing viz. 0005 on the dollar
or $4,000 in all for the past year.
