PRINCESS FINDS
 HER CAREER OVER
Moro Girl, College Graduate,
 Finally Captured

Manila, Feb. 7.-LP-The adven- ture of Princess Tarhata Kiram, vivacious niece of the Sultan of Sulu and fourth and favorite wife of the rebellious Datu Tahil, and who recently frustrated the military plans of a whole regiment of the Philippine constabulary, has come to an inglorious end.
 A dispatch to the Manila Bulle- tin from Zamboanga today said the daring Moro princess, abandoned by her husband, footsore. exhausted, contrite and alone. was picked up on the slopes of Mount Maligay, Jolo Island, and turned over to the au- thorities by another Moro chief.
 Tahil, high Moro dignitary who recently rebelled and defied the Philippine government by immuring himself in fort on Jola Island with 200 followers, now is hiding in the Kolo jungles, hated and hunted. He is wanted by the constabulary forces for sedition and his recent flier in revolutionary activity. coupled with his desertion of the princess, Is said to have turned the sentiment of his people against him.

Secretary Kellogg has in- formed the military leaders in China's warfare in proposing that the international settlement of the great port be excluded from the fighting zone.
 He emphasized this point in the second open invitation to be trans- mitted by the United States to. the war lords of the north and south in China since the internecine strife in that country recently became the subject of international concern.
 The proposal the text of which was made public last night here, as- serted the fate of American interests in Shanghai lis the occasion of great anxiety to the American goven- ment." and suggested that the inter- national settlement be neutralized in the present struggle SO that "Ameri- can citizens and other foreigners may receive adequate protection"

that conference delegates be agreed upon for new equalization treaty discussions and is awaiting a reply which foreign Minister Chen at Han kow said he soon would make to that offer. If the promised "com- ment" is delayed long enough by Chen. observers here believe the Shanghai exclusion proposal may possibly be dealt with at the same time. No answer has been received from the Peking government.
 That "show of force is unneces- sary and likely to cause trouble and danger to all interests, in dealing with the Chinese situation is the be- lief of 147 American missionaries gathered at Nanking. They have taken this view in cablegram to the Federal Council of Churches, copies of which have been sent to Chairman Borah of the senate for eign relations committee, and Chair man Porter of the house foreign re- lations committed.
 The missionaries endorsed the Porter resolution approved by the house committee calling upon Secre- tary of State Kellogg to propose the negotiation of new treaties with China through Chinese Minister Sze in Washington.

On returning to the Moro kingdom she retained the mannerisms Of the west-wore short skirts and bobbed hair and became the first fiapper of Moro land. But the call of tradition and the infiu- ence of the tropics wore away the veneer of a strange civilization and Tahils harem.
 As bride of only few weeks she followed Tahil when he rebelled and entered his fertilization. The regi- ment of constabulary which had been sent to put down the rebellion stopped short when within attacking distance. for the attack might have meant death or injury to the prin- cess. Harm to Moro royalty would have brought down the wrath of the whole Mohammedan tribe, which even when at peace with the govern ment is none too friendly.
 For several days the might and will of the militia was baked. Then Tahil and the princess and a few followers fled from the fort, leav- ing the majority of the rebels to the military. The. constabulary attacked, killing several women and capturing others.
