Yap Issue to Be
; Settled Outside
Arms Conference
Negotiations Between United
States ami Japan .Will Not
; Be Disturbed by Wash-
s' ington Conclave.
t By GRAFTON WILCOX.
I Washington, Dec. 9. Like Shan
"tun, the Vap issue Is to be settled
outside the international arm con
ference and agreement thereon may
:oon be announccl.
Negotiation between the United
.Slate and Japan, which have been
'progressing for many month, are
not to be disturbed by the Washing
ton conclave, although it may be that
'a settlement can be reached and re
ported to the conference as a matter
of welcome information to add to the
expected series of far eastern adjust
ment being undertaken here.
The differences over Yap and es
tablishment of American calle rights
on the island have been on ths verge
of settlement for some time.. In fact,
there were reports from Tokio last
night quoting Tokichi Tanaka, act
iiig vice minister for foreign affairs,
as stating that agreement already
i-lias been reached on general outlines
,'aitd that the only differences remain
' ing for readjustment concern minor
details. In official quarters here
there is substantial verification of
this.
Slaughter Flees From
Death Cell in Arkansas
(Continued J'rom rase One.)
1 ting; a guard to open his cell door
; about 9:30 o'clock last night. He
, held up this guard and another stand
ing nearby, took their pistols and
. then forced them to go ahead of him
to the stockade, where their presence
admitted them and permitted him to
- overpower the one guard on duty
there. Slaughter then opened the
; cells and offered all the prisoners lib-
erty. Only six took advantage of
the offer and two of the guards were
locked up.
T Takes Guard to Office.
,. He next took one guard to the
' office of the prison with him and took
possession of it, turning the guards
Ton duty there over to the men who
elected to escape with him. Next
hc went to the hospital and forced
f.gi nurse to precede him outside the
' Malls to the apartments occupied by
.Warden E. II. Dempsey and his fam
. ily. The nurse awakened them and
7 Slaughte rthen forced them to ac
company him to the death cell, where
t they were locked up. He told them
lie would not harm them and later
brought them a pot of coffee with
' cream, sugar and cups.
.r f Slaughter .then, threw the gates of
the prison wide open and leisurely
?- jset about outfitting himself and com
; panions with civilian clothing from
' the commissary.
-r'' At 2:30 a. ni. Warden Dempsey
rsaid he heard an automobile leaving
and with the aid of prisoners above,
' who cut a hole through the floor, at
his direction, he escaped from the
; death cell and spread the alarm.
U Slaughter had taken an automobile
' belonging , to Mr. Dempsey and
J Stripped all the tires from a roadster
belonging to Edward Dempsey, son
j of the warden.
v Slaughter is 26 years old. He told
$ sn Associated Press correspondent
j'at the time of his first incarceration
," In the penitentiary here that he was
reared in southern Arkansas and'
! when 14 years old, was convicted of
fa charge of grand larceny and sent
!i to the reform school. He served his
term and then drifted into Oklahoma.
Since that time he has participated in
numerous bank robberies in Ar
i' kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri
' and elsewhere. He escaped twice
i. from the Texas penitentiary and his
' term in Texas was unexpired when
he killed Deputy Sheriff Brown in
Hot Springs, a little over a year ago.
I " x Admits Many Robberies.
;f j Slaughter denied a killing credited
t 'to him in Pennsylvania, but admitted
he had taken part in many robberies.
The desperado, who had been con
v sidered one of the most dangerous in
; the Arkansas penal institution, made
'' an unsuccessful but spectacular at-
tempt to escape from the prison farm
'! at Tucker when he killed the trusty
guard in September. Slaughter had
obtained a rifle from the outside and
on Sunday morning when the men
- were gathered in a bath house he
opened fire on the guards outside.
He kissed Bliss Adkisson, a trusty
guard, serving a sentence for mur-
.dcr committed when a posse raided
a band of draft evaders of whom
Adkisson was one.. He also wounded
ether guards. He finally was forced
Mo surrender wheii a guard in hiding
took him unawares.
Cell Searched Daily. -He
often has boasted that he
V would never go to the electric chair.
'. At Hot Springs he and his cell mate
were searched daily for weapons.
After a jury returned a verdict of
- life imprisonment he turned over to
." the guards, who included a company
of national guardsmen, a handful of
" hack saws, remarikng that if the
"sentence had been death he never
f would have staved in jail over night.
The state guard was called out on
.another occasion just about a year
ago to guard the penitentiary here
.when a plot which he had instigated
--for a wholesale delivery of prisoners
;T was uncovered.

Dail Is Expected to
Ratify Free State
(ContlBur4 From Ff Oa.)
Arthur Griffith promise that the
southern unionists should have a
full share of representation in the
first chamber of the all-Ireland
parliament set up under the peace
agreement also has been approved,
the correspondents say.
Will Not Affect Plan.
The best opinion here i that the
split among the Dail leaders will not
affect the plans for the opening of
parliament. The agreement whs
made between the British govern
ment and plenipotentiaries repre
senting the Dail Eireann and it will
be placed before the House of Commons-
and the House of Lords m
the king's speech. Then after Prime
Minister Lloyd George in the lower
house and Lord Birkenhead in the
upper chamber have explained and
supported the agreement, a brief ad
journment will be taken to await the
vote of the Dail Eireann, which
meets the same day next Wednes
day. Strong Supporter.
De Valcra will have strong sup
porters in the Dail for the rejection
of the agreement and for the demand
for an Irish republic from Austin
Stack, Charles Burgess, Desmond
Fitzgerald, Liam Mellowes, Coun
tess Markicwicz and all the out-and-out
republicans, it is believed. Gov
ernment circles in London, however,
remain convinced that Arthur Grif
fith, Michael Collins and their sup
porters will win the day as it is felt
that the moderates will follow this
group.
The spilt in the Dail cabinet will
not interfere in the release of the
prisoners in Irish internment camps
according to the Irish office. Those
from the Bally Kinler camp will be
given their liberty today.
Irish Press Supports '
Free State Agreement
Dublin, Dec. 9. (By A. P.) Com
menting on the statement of Eamon
De Valera, opposing the Irish agree
ment, the Irish Independent today
says:
"In connection with this develop
ment, the outstanding fact is that on
September 14, last, the Dail Eireann
appointed five plenipotentiaries to
represent Ireland at a conference
with representatives of the British
government to discuss the Anglo
Irish problem and if possible arrive
at a settlement.
"With skill and ability these pleni
potentiaries discharged the enerois
miss:on entrusted to them.
"We submit that in the circum
stances the nation is in honor bound
to uphold their action."
"We do not know whether the
country will or will not be asked to
make the momentous choice between
peace and war by means of a refer
endum or general election," says the
Irish Times. If she rejects the treaty
she will forfeit the sympathies of the
whole world.
"Will Ireland now, in an impulse
of pride and, folly defy the world and
turn her back upon her last and
greatest oportunity? God forbid!"
The Freeman s Journal, comment
ing on the split in the Dail Eireann
cabinet says:
"The men who represented Ire
land in the conference demand and
we cordially support their demand,
that the Irish people who desired
and trusted in the appointment of
these gentlemen as the spokesmen qf
the nation should now" support them
to the fullest extent."

Borrowers Now
Sought by Banks
With Idle Cash
Swollen Reserves Aiding Busi
ness to Recover Rapidly
Farmers Feel Benefits
Of Rate Cuts.
By W. H. ATKINS.
Washington, Dec. 9. Bankers
with i lot of idle cash are hunting
borrowers.
The fact is the money chests of
the banks are swollen with large re
serves, steadily accumulating, and
growing bigger each week. Busi
ness and industry are getting their
figurative necks above water, and out
of the muddy cross-currents of credit
dangers that loomed several months
ago.
The Federal Reserve board' ap
proval of further cuts in the redis
count rates in eight of the 1- re
serve banks will bring still lower
commercial rates at banks. Money
conditions are easier now than at any
time in several years, especially when
war inflation sent rates soaring in a
mad wave of speculation and money
juggling for profit returns on a big
scale.
The farmers and small business
men all over the United States are
experiencing some of the wholesome
benefits from the rate drops just ef
fected. Still other rate cuts in other
reserve banks, and further drops in
the bank districts wherein cuts have
just been announced, will serve to
make even lighter the credit burdens
borne by the agricultural and other
vital industries.
The government's fiscal experts
figure the country is getting back
rapidly to normal financially, though
it has far to go perhaps in some
lines before stabilization in prices is
reached. Is is evident that credit
