Substitute
For League
Proposed
Association of Nations a Ad
vocated by Harding Likely
To Be Launched Pur
ing Arms Conference.
Would Include Germany
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
I hlrafo Trlhune-Onnha Ha IaMl Wlro,
.Washington, Nov. 25. An asso
ciation of nations.destined to super
sede the existing league of nations
as a stabilizer of world peace, is
likely to he formed in Washington
before the adjournment of the con
ference on the limitation of arma
ments. President Harding, it was authori
tatively stated today, contemplates
the founding of such an association
of nations for annual conference as
llir lneiral anrl nrnhahlr rpuult ft
he deliberations now m progress.
this conclave achieves success in
le effort to bring about an agrec
rnt to reduce and limit naval arms,
The president would have the
other nations invited to send dele
ga'cs to Washington before the con
ference adjourns, to sanction the
agreement on reduction of arma
ments and to participate in the for
mation of the association of na
tions. Would Include Germany.
Aiffong such other nations invited
to Washington, the president would
include Germany and the other for
eign enemy countries, which have
been excluded from the league oi
nations. t&-
The project the president has in
mind is the association of nations for
conference on the preservation of
nare. limitation of armament anrl
other world .problems for which he
contended in his election campaign
as a more practicable way of seek
ing to minimize the possibility of
war than that rcoresented by the
Wilson league of nations. He has'
never lost sight of that object since
his inauguration and he believed
from the start that the outcome of
the conference on the limitation of
armaments would test the feasibili
ty of his plan.
Since the foreign delegates
reached Washington the plenipoten
tiaries of a ... number of powers
have volunteered the suggestion to
the administration that this would
1 be an appropriate occasion for the
organization o the association of
nations advocated by Mr. Hard-
I ingr. They were led to make this
! V suggestion, it was said, by tli pros
pect of the success of this confer
ence in effecting a reduction of
armaments and fey the conclusion
s jJiat the method adopted by 'Mr.
x super government scheme of the
league . of nations.
Only Hope to' Include U. S.
In addition, it is surmised, the
foreign delegates had reached the
conclusion that there is no hope
of drawing the United States into
the league of nations and that an
association ot nations ot tne cnarac
ter proposed by Mr. Harding is
. the onlv international organization
for dealing with world affairs in
which the American government
would be disposed to participate.
The allies .doubtless would like to
bring before a future conference of
an association of nations, the ques
tion of inter-cancellation of war
debts and other financial problems

If the present conference succeeds
in hrincrmfr about a reduction OI

a more practicable process for" deal

Japanese Cabinet
Favors 70 Per Cent
Navy Strength Ratio
iTokio. Nov. . 25. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) A ; cabinet council,
held yesterday, according to the
newspapers, resulted in a decision to
instruct- the Japanese delegates to
the Washington conference to do
their utmost to maintain a 70 per
cent ratio-with regard to naval arma
ment. . -.
It appears to have been the atti
tude of the ministers that less than
a 70 per cent fatio would be insuf
ficient for the national defense.
The'Asahi Shimbun says it also
was decided by the ministers to in
struct the delegates to press the
auestion of dismantling Pacific for
tifications, alleging that these fortifi
cations cannot be considered apart
from the question of naval reduction.

Irish Peace
Blocked by
Sinn Fein
Sir James Craig Tells Lloyd
George I)e Valera Follow,
ers Refuse to Own Al
legance of King.
May End Negotiations
By The Aunrtalr4 I'm.
London, Nov. 25. What is feared
to he the last scene in the effort
to bring peace to Ireland was en
acted today when Prime Minister
Lloyd George and Sir James Craig
met in the former's oiiicial residence,
where the imperial premier told the
head ot the northern government
that Sinn Fein Ireland had not con
sented to own allegiance to the
king, a prerequisite to Ulster's agree
ment to enter' an all-Ireland parlia
ment.
The Sinn Fein delegates are con
sulting with numbers of the Dail
cabinet in Dublin on the crisis thus
brought about. ' while Sir James
packed his bag and returned to
Hcliast, where he will report to mC
parliament next Tuesday and possi
bly disclose the cause of virtual
breakdown of the Irish negotiations.
The official correspondence that
has passed between the various dele
gations also may be published at
the same time in London.
Will Continue Efforts. '
Week-end efforts, meanwhile, will
be made by the peacemakers in an
attempt to persuade the Sinn Fein to
modify its attitude on the question
of allegiance to the king. The Dail
tireann members have taken the
oath of allegiance to the Irish re
public and thus far they have refused
to substitute for it recognition, with
in Ireland, of King George. The
furthest concessions from the Sinn
Fein has been their willingness to
recognize the kins as the formal
president of the community of free
nations, which Ireland might choose
voluntarily to join, but even this
was not definitely promised. .
Lord Chancellor Birkenhad and
Attorney General Hewart, law of
ficers of the crown, have ransacked
the constitutions of all the British
dominions to find any precedent for
the only kind of relationship with
the British crown that Sinn Fein
will consider, but nothing -can be
found.
One Prospect Remains.
The only prospect for peace now
is said to rest on Sinn Fein's con
ceding allegiance to the crown and
the influence of the advocates of
moderation has been invoked in a
filial effort to change its positi6n.
The question is being put as - to
whether the point involved is worth
renewed warfare, for a . breakdown
of the negotiations on that issue, it
is believed, would be followed, eith
er before or after the general elec
tion, by the handing over ' o Ire
land to military rule and the dis
placement of the civilian officials iri
Dublin castle, to whose influence is
attributed the previous failure of mil
itary measures.
All along the Sinn Fein delegates
have held the belief that no matter
what the result of the negotiations
might be, the British 4eople would
oppose the employment of the mili
tary, and in this they have the sup
port ' of former Premier . Asquith,
who, at a meeting of the Liberal
federation today, said the liberal
party had not receeded from any
pledge given against the forcible co
ercion of the Ulster minority. At
the same time he asked all liberals
to assent to the proposition- that
it- was equally true that they were
not going to be parties, at the in
stance or for the sake of a corner
of Ulster, .to coercion of the great
mass of Irish people. r

San Francisco, Nov. 25. Dr. M.
E. Rumwell will be placed on the
witness stand today in the Roscoe
C. (Fatty) Arbuckle manslaughter
trial to testify .that Miss Virginia
Rappe exonerated Arbuckle for her
fatal injuries, h was announced by
Gavin McNab, the defendant's chief
counsel.
Dr. Rumwell was the first physi
cian to give any detailed attention
to Miss Rappe after the Arbuckle
party." According to McNab, Dr.
Rumwell will testify that when he
asked her the cause of her injury
she replied: "I guess I was a little
bit intoxicated," '
Interviewed Miss Rappe.
Dr.' Rumwell. according to Mc
Nab, interviewed Miss Rappe on the
cause of her injuries while she was in
full possession of her faculties, and
she did not mention Arbuckle as
being in any way responsible for
such injuries.
Dr. Lloyd Bryan, Saa Francisco,
a defense medical expert, was the
first witness today. He was followed
by Dr. George Franklin Shiels of
San Francisco.
Both physicians testified that blad
der rupture of the nature suffered bjj
Miss Rappe might, under certain
conditions, be caused spontaneously.
The prosecution contends that, it
was caused by external force ap
plied by Arbuckle. Dr. Shiels illus
trated on the blackboard how alco
holism or hysteria may cause such
injuries.
Difference of Opinion.
The reaction, of shock from a cold
bath might produce the injuries re
ferred to, he said. Miss Rappe was
given such a bath at the time she
is alleged to have been injured.
Under cross' examination he ad
mitted that there is a sharp differ
ence of opinion among authorities
as to the causes of bladder rupture.
"Old fashioned Anglo-Saxon mod
esty was given by Dr. Shiels as a
contributing cause of the type of
bladder rupture suffered by Miss
Rappe. "However, the bladder is a
most ' remarkably resistent organ.
he said, and the modesty which con
tributed to bladder injuries was giv
ing way to new conditions calling
for more attention to personal health.
The jar of a railroad train or
automobile might cause' rupture of
an over-distended bladder, he said.

By The Ansortatrfl Treui.
. Walseuhurg, Colo., Nov. 25. An
nouncement today by officials of the
Oakdale mine at Oakview, near
here, that one section of the mine
will be closed because of lack of or
ders, was characterized by John Mc
Lennan, district president of the
United Mine Workers, as "just an
effort on the part of the company
to get rid of some of the union men
they don't want." Twenty-one men
are employed in the affected section,
according to' Superintendent Mc
Lcary.of the mine. .. .
The list of 'men affected includes
several brought to military head
quarters for examination in connection-
with the -shooting affray of a
week ago at Oakview, it was said.
The Oakdale mine is owned by the
Oakdale Coal company and is not
affected by the miners' strike.
' ' Barrage of Bread. ,
That the wives of striking miners
at the Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany's ,IdcaL mine, near here,' laid
down a barrage of bread against
men who tried to enter the mine to
report for work the first day of the
strike was revealed here today,
when Col. Patrick Hamrock, state
adjutant general in command of the
military, conducted an investigation
of a complaint made by union of
ficials that the' wife of a miner had
been struck by a ranger on patrol
duty at the mine.
It was developed at the hearing
that the accused ranger had struck
the woman lightly with a stick, but
that he had done so only after she
had refused, to obey his order to
move on.- The ranger said the alter
cation arose when the crowd of
miners' wives had used up all their
bread ammunition and had begun
throwing stones.
Family Evicted.
The first case of eviction of a
striking miner from a company
house was brought to the attention
of the authorities today when the
family of Gabriel Gonzales moved
their furniture from the camp at
Ideal to Walsenburg. Inquiry estab
lished the fact, it was announced at
Colonel Hanirock's headquarters
that the wife of Gonzales was one
of the women who participated in
the bread-throwing incident at Ideal
mine the first day of the strike.
The mine superintendent stated
that the Gonzales family had, been
asked to move because both Gon
zales and his wife, always had been
a source of trouble.

Emperor Yoshihito was in bad phy
ical condition. A dispatch to a Hon
olulu newspaper in May of last yea.
icported that he had suffered a men
tal and physical breakdown.
Early last month a rumor that he
was dead circulated in Tokio, and the
imperial household in denying it at
that time stated that he was so ill it
was feared that he could not recover.
The emperor's physical and mental
condition had become aggravated
was said, and the difficulty he had
experienced in walking and holding
conversation had been augmented,
while his memory and capacity for
attention had declined.
Yoshihito Made Emperor.
Yoshihito became emperor upon
the death of his father. Emperor
Mutushilo, on July 30, 1912. The
formal coronation, however, did not
occur until November 10, 1915. He
was born at Kioto, August 31, 1879,
and was married in 1900 to Princess '
Sadako, daughter of Prince Nujo.
There are three other children of
the imperial pair besides Prince Hir
ohito Prince Yasuhito, born in 1902:
Prince Nobuhito, born in 1905, and
Prince Takahito, born in December,
1915.
Made Crown Prince.
Crown Prince Michi-No-Miya of
Japan was born April 29, 1901, and
was proclaimed heir apparent in 1912
when his father became emperor at
the death of Mutsuhito and was
formally consecrated as crown
prince in 1916. Prince Michi, as
he is called, is a major of infantry

Will Escape Paying
State Taxes This Year
Lincoln, ; Nov. 25. (Special.)
The contemplated action of the state
board of equalization in placing from
$10,000,000 to $20,000,000 on the state
assessment list by taxing hospitals;
Y. M. C. A.s, schools and colleges,
has been temporarily postponed. ,
Under resolutions adopted by the
board today there will be no attempt
to add these institutions to the- tax
list this year. Whether they will
be put on next year is not known.
A law passed by the last legisla
ture authorized the state to tax all
institutions that were not purely
charitable or . religious. There was
much doubt as to whether the law
became effective this year or next
year.
The, board cited the heads of sev
eral hundred institutions heretofore
tax free to appear and tell why they
shouldn't be taxed under the new
law. Persons interested in many of
these instituitons entered strenuous
objections to the new law.
