Killing Him.
Little' Kock. Ark., Dec. 10. Tom
Slaughter's body was found today
by posscmcn who had been searching
for it f
. Little Roik, Ark., Dec. 10. (By
A. P.) The last escape of Tom
MaiiRhter, notorious band, with a
"jecord of nearly a score of breaks
' lor freedom from southwestern jails
it ' and prisons led to his death in the
Saline-county hills at the hands of
i one of the convicts he liberated, ac
; , cording to the story on which Sheriff
J. J. Crowe's posses early today
: were basing their search for Slaugh
ter s. body.
Awaiting Daylight.
, ' The posses were awaiting daylight
t to start on the trail from the point
v where Slaughter and his companions
..' abandoned their bullet riddled auto
;i mobile yesterday, and fled into the
' woods.
J J. C. Howard, who surrendered
; - .with five others of the seven who
J accepted Slaughter's offer of free
' dom told officials he shot Slaughter
' in the back and had intended to
. shoot him from the moment the
; party made their escape.
The note, Howard says he left in
i ' the prison, bearing the same state-
ment could not be found early today
; Beside the body of Slaughter, ac
cording to Howard's story, lay a
-. dying negro, wounded in a fight
; with the authorities of Benton, who
i were watching for the fleeing pris
' oners.
- Prison authorities today were en
deavoring to trace the source of the
I..': pistol which gave Slaughter the
chance to effect his six-hour dom
ination of the penitentiary, disarm.
"ti guards, lock the warden and his
. -, family into the death cell, secure
; ..civilian attire and an automobile 'or
;., the, escape and offer freedom to all
the convicts who wished to join him
U Bad Record.
Howard, the man who slew
-' Slaughter, is 35 years old. He was
received at '-.the penitentiary last
March to serve three years for
y. forgery on a conviction in Garland
county circuit court. Howard, it is
i. said, cotnes of a well known family.
' ' He was a railroad man in Hot
" .Springs and the charge on which he
was convicted was that of fraudulent
v.; ly drawing travel pay from the rail-
road by means of forged passes.
Shortly after Howard was received
.-. at the prison he was made a trusty
and assigned to- -the commissary.
1 Some time later- however, when
.-;.'goods taken from the commissary
!. were believed to have been stolen by
5 him, his ' status as trusty was' re
:' voked. Prison authorities, said . that
"' his record was not a, good one.
Slaying bf Bandit Like
S Betrayal of Jesse James
t St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 10. (By A.
Y P.) The shooting ; of the bandit,
Slaughter, by Howard,1 the man to
' whom Slaughter had given a chance
'', for liberty,'. parallels somewhat' the
;'5"' death of Jesst James, the southwest's
best known outlaw. James, however,
was shot by a relative and old friend,
while. Howard, it is understood, was
-. not a . former associate of Slaughter.
. With the gradual scattering of the
"James boys' band through relentless
; activities of police and state authori
; ties,' Jesse James retired to his home
' at St.; Joseph, where for a time he
remained undisturbed.
Bob Ford, cousin of Jesse and one
. of the band most intimate with the
y feared leader, was persuaded by the
v authorities, it is said, to .shoot down
;the. bandit for the promise of im
' munity and the larg rwards offered.
;.' While in apparent friendly con
versation with the outlaw leader,
. Ford shot Jess in the back as the lat
" ter was standing on a chair to ad
. just a picture hanging on the wall.

y to be repaid. No motion picture
company or organization has con-
tnbuted a single cent to Arbuckle's
aetense.
Figures Confirmed,
: I carried these fieures to Mr.
' Schenck. who arrived in San Fran
cisco this morning with Miss Tal-
,' madge and lie confirmed them, point
by point. I carried them to Mr.
McNab, with the exception of the
matter of his fee. JSut .he brought
. mat tip nimselt.
"While I do not care to go into
actual figures," he said, "I can tell
you that I took this case after con
sidering it for 10 days, because I be-
came personally interested m Ar
buckle. Without seeming egotistical.
I can say that I teel I have arrived
at that period of life and professional
standing where I can take the-cases
that appeal, to me. This one did
and my fee is decidedly smaller than
" many persons might suppose.
Mr. bchenck was emphatic in
stating his position in the case.
Personal Matter.
"It is a personal matter betweeit
Arbuckle and myself, he said. 1
have done what was necessary for
him because I have been his friend
for. many years. It is only what I
would expect my friends to do for
me under similar circumstances. I
hare taken no notes from Roscoe
because they would be worthless if
he died. It he lives he will repay
me. As far as I know, no other
person has helped Arbuckle with
. cent, with the exception of a 10-
year-old boy, who sent him a 25-
', cent piece in a letter. Our position
was stated frankly to Mr. McNab.
He asked for time to consider it and
spent a great deal of that time talk
ing with Roscoe. When he told us
he was willing to take the case I
was surprised at the fee he asked.
I considered it rery low for a man
of his. eminence in his profession."

which I am sure is full of meaning
and importance to Hie wuilds peace.
ARTICLE I.
I he iiigli contacting parties
agree n between themselves to re
spect their rights in relation to the!
insular possessions and insular do
minions in the regions of the l'a
cifie ocean.
"'If there should develop between
any of the high contracting partie
controversy arising out of any l'a
cific question and involving their
said rights which is not satisfac
torily settled by diplomacy and I
likely to sfTert the harmonious accord
now happily subsisting between them
they shall invite the high-contracting
parties to a joint conference, to
which the whole subject will be re
ferred for consideration and adjust
ment. '
ARTICLE II.
"'If the-said rights are threatened
by the aggressive action of any oth
er power, the high contracting par
ties shall communicate with cue an
other fully and frankly in order to
arrive at an understanding as to the
most efficient measures to be taken,
jointly and separately, to- meet the
exigencies of the particular- situa
tion. . ... . .
Irr Force 10 Years. ,
ARTICL&I1I.
"This agreement shall remain in
force for 10 years from the time A
shall take effect and after the ex
piration of said period it shall con
tinue to be in force subject to the
right of any of the high contracting
parties to tcimmate it upon U
months notice. , ,
ARTICLE IV. ;
"'This agreement shall be ratified
as soon as possible in accordance
with the constitutional methods of
the high contracting parties and
shall take effect on the deposit of
ratifications which shall take piare
at Washington, and thereupon the
agreement between Great Britain
and Japan, which was concluded at
London on July lo, 1911, shall ter
minate.
The. treaty has not been signed
formally, but has been initialed by
representatives ot the four powers as
affirmed. ' '
Mandated Islands.
"The signing Of this treaty," said
Senator Lodge continuing, "is on he
part of the United States subject to
the making of a covenant ' with
Japan concerning the status of the
Island of Yap and what are termed
die mandated islands in the Pacific
ocean, north of the equator, ihe nego
nations in regard to which are al
most concluded, and also to the re
servations with respect to what are
termed the mandated islands in the
Pacific ocean, south of the equator.
"It should also be observed that
the controversies to-which the pro
posed treaties refer do 'not embrace
questions, which, according to prin
ciples of international law, b'e ex
clusively within the domestic juris
diction of the respective powers.
' "The conference will perceive that
I spoke correctly when I referred to
the terms of the treaty it simple. To
put It In a few word, the treaty pro
vidi-ith.it the four signatory powers
will agree as between tliruitcives lo
respect their insular possessions and
dominions in. ihe region ''' '
eilic and that if any 'controversy
should arise as to such rights ll the
high contracting-parties 'shall be in
vited to a joint confrrenre looking
to the adjustment of ouch contro
vert. In Case' of Attrcsiion.
"They agree to take similar action
in the case of aggrestion by any out
power upon thee insular oiri.ioiii
or dominions. The agreement is to
remain in force for 10 ycrs and
after ratification under the constitu
tional methods of the high contract
ing parties the existing sgreement
between ureat ' uritain and Japan,
which was concluded at London on
July 13, 1911, shall terminate. And
that is all. Kach signer is bound to
respect the rights of the others and
before taking action in any contro
versy to consult with them. There
is no provisions for the use of force
to carry out any of the terms of the
agreement and no military or naval
sanction lurks anywhere in the back
ground or under cover of these plain
and direct clauses. '
"The world has just passed through
a war, the very memory, ot which
makes us shudder. We all believe
deep in our hearts that this hideous
destruction .of life, this suffering and
ruin . which still beset us must not
be permitted to come again if we'
can prevent it. If the nations of the
earth are still in the innermost re
cesses ot their consciousness plan
ning or. dreaming of coming wars
and longing for conquests, no treat
ies of partition and no alliance can
stay them; but if, as I firmly hope,
the world lias learned a frightful
lesson from the awful experiences of
the great war of 1914, then our sur
est appeal in order to prevent wars
in the future must be to the hearts.
the sympathies, the reason and the
higher impulses of mankind.
Such an appeal we make today
by this agreement among four great
nations. We rely upon their good
faith to carry out the terms of this
Instrument, knowing that by so do
ing they will prevent war should
controversy ever arise among them.
If this .spirit prevails and rules we
can have no better support than the
faith of the nations. For one I de
voutly believe the spirit of the world
is such that we can trust to the good
faith and the high purposes which
the treaty 1 have laid bctore you
embodies and enshrines. Agree
ments of this . kind I know have
often been made before only to fail.
But there has been a far-reaching
change in the mental condition of
men and women everywhere, That
which reallv counts is the intention
of the nations who make the agree
ment. In this hour or trial and
darkness which has followed the
war' with Germany the spirit of the
world is no longer the same. If we
enter upon this, agreement, which
ests only upon the will and honor
of those who sign it, we at least
make the great experiment and ap
nea! to the men and women of the
nation to help us sustain it in spirit
and in truth."

Work of Famous
Surgeon Watched
By Omaha Nurse
MUi Kate Keinpcr, in Army
Service Here, Saw Doctor
Lorenz When In
Chicago. '
When Dr. Adolf Lorenz, famous
"bloodless surgeon" of Vienna, was
in America on his first visit 18 years
ago an Omaha nurse saw him "op
erate" at Cook county hospital, km
ewe). This nurse is Miss Kate
Kemper, chief nurse in the examin
ing surgeon's office at the Army
building, Fifteenth and Dodge streets.
Mist Kcmptr was in training at
that time and as Dr. Lorens was be
ing hailed by the scientific world
as a new wonacr, an me nurses m
training were given permission to
watrh him.
"When it became known that the
famous surgeon was to operate in
L'hlcaao. parents of crippled chil
dren waited breathlessly for the day
this great nian would come. The
hospital faces on Harrison street
and on that day. until after Dr.
Lorenz had gone, there was no traf
fic on that street,, because it was
jammed with parents and crippled
children.
Many Turned Away.
"There were so many nurses, and
Dr. I.orem only remained at the
hospital three hours, that w lisd
to so into the operating room in re
lays. Thousands of mothers with
crippled children were turned away,
. "When it came my turn to enter
the operating room Dr. f-ofeni's pa
tient was a utile boy. lie hid been
anathctid in another room ind
was placed before th surgeon uu-
ton scions.
"Dr. Loreni was a big, powerful
man and he picked up the little boy
and began to manipulate his bones
and muscles. The little one had been
suffering front congenital hip dislo
cation. Dr. Lorriu worked with the
muscles and bones and in a short time
I heard a snap as the hip bone went
into n ace.
"i'iio little boy was later placed
in a cast and remained there for six
months before he was taken out.
"r'rotu what I learned of the sur
geon, he worked on children not
older than 6 years and by skillful
manipulation of bone and muscle cor
rectcd many conditions. His work
was purelv corrective, he tued no
knife in his operations. After he
had finished with his patients he
had them placed in casts, where they
remained for six months or more."
Miss Kemper would make no state
ment reeardinr criticisms hurled at
Dr. Lorenz by surgeons of the United
States.

Halting of Strikes Is
Considered by Davis
(CoallnuM IXm IIm.
that down deep in his hcait every
American employer and every
American workman wanted to get
on In peace.
"When we have industrial war
fare," he said, "it is not from will
ful 'cuttedncss,' it is on account of
some deep-seated misunderstanding
in nearly every cue tn warring
parties are only too glad to make
and keep peace. The difficulty is
only in arriving at the necessary
mutual understanding. Our special
men will be able to sumily that
needed comprehension to the fullest
measure and I cannot help thinking
that thev soon will come to be wcl
come fixtures in our Industrial sys
tern."
Personal Contact Lost.
The labor secretary pointed on
that the men he had In mind would
also be able to keep the managers
of great manufacturing enterprises
reminded of the trials, the weak
nesses, the struggles and ambition
of the man who tolls at- the loom or
the rolls, or in the mines, or in any
capacity in the country's great in
dustries. ,
"It is one of the calamities of the
modern Industrial problem that the
old intimate, personal contact be
tween manager and men has oeen
lost," said Secretary Davis. "In
these special conciliators I see a
way to re-establish at least some
thing of that lost aud valusbles
sociation. In fact, I can see no
