One. restates the purposes for which the conference was convened, empha sizes the urgency of the need for allaying industrial unrest, and makes a plea for further work on the part of the conferees. . Session Very Short The morning session of the con ference lasted only a few minutes and the afternoon meeting, during which quick action wasl obtained, was not convened until 5 o'clock. The entire day was devoted to group meetings in an attempt to devise another declaration on col lective bargaining, satisfactory to all elements. After more than three days of almost continuous sessions, the employers were unable to agree upon another statement and fell back upon the Wheeler substitute. Members of the public group at tempted' to effect a compromise by the substitution of the words "as sociation of their own choosing" or "trade and labor unions" in the clause of the group resolution guar anteeing workers the right to or ganize, and the five labor representa tives on the general committee of IS spent two hours in joint meeting with the public explaining labor's objection to the change. This amendment was introduced by Mr, Chadbourne, but the public group alone voted , favorably. Gompers Explain. When the original Russell-Endi-cott resolution came up for discus sion in the conference, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, declared that the withdrawal of the support of the public group, was due to an inter pretation of 'the words "trade and labor unions" by one member of the group who is allied with organized labor and that the phrase excludes all but American Federation of. Labor organizations. It was said that the reference; was to J. J. For rester, alternate for B. M. lewell. acting president of the railway em ployes' department of the federa tion. COUNT TERAUCHI, FORMER PREMIER OF JAPAN, DIES Field Marshal Accomplished Many Notable Achievements ' During Tenure In Office. .J'okio, Oct" 21. (By The Asso ciated Press.) Field Marshal Count Seiki Terauchi, former premier of Japan, died today. One of the most famous warrior statesmen of modern Japan, field Marshal Seiki Terauchi s notable achievements included his solution of the problem of national defense for Japan and his success in annex ing Korea and the assimilation of the Korean people into the Japanese empire during his administration as Kovernor general of that colony. The results he attained in Korea had marked him as a commanding figure and one to be reckoned with in shaping the destinies of the Japa nese empire. Count Terauchi was a member of the famous Choshu clan, from which have sprung renowned leaders of the Japanese army. He was born on February 5, 1852, at Nagato, and was the son of a samurai. He dis tinguished himself, as a young sol dier of the Imperial's Guards regi ment, in putting down Sai go's re bellion, 'in which service he was wounded in the .right arm, as a re sult of which that arm thereafter was useless. Although outdone by more brill iant soldiers, Count Terauchi won distinction as a military administra tor and wop promotion as major general and appointment as the president of the Japanese military staff college.

Drys Win Ontario By Large Majority; Conservatives Beaten "Toronto, Ont, Oct' 21. -Incomplete returns from yesterday's elec tion, in which . Sir William Hearst, premier of the province, and the conservative government, have been swamped, indicate that Ontario has gone "dry" by an overwhelming maj-jority. Throughout the province, especial ly in the rural districts, the prohibi tion wave has rolled high. The vot ing was 3 to 1 in favor of it in some districts. The defeat of the Hearst conserva tive was, according to the Mail and Empire, due 'mainly to the large vote polled by the united farmers and labor candidates, who took. 43 and 12 seats, respectively. The lib erals, notwithstanding their winning of five seats in Toronto, will stand apparently as they were before in the last legislature. The largest single party in the new house will be" the farmers. By alliance with either of the old parties and the labor party it should com mand a good working majority. Capt.

( Had No Actual Wording. In their conference today the democratic leaders did not have be fore them the actual wording of the reservations, as agreed on by the majority, but they had been told that the four generally regarded as most important, relating to with drawal, domestic questions, the Monroe doctrine and article 10 fol lowed almost word for word" the language of those put into the sen ate record by benator McCumber. Most of the argument therefore, was over these four as presented by th Vnrth HalfAta ..naenr In all. seven reservations were in the McCumber series, the other three relating to . Shantung and equal votes in the league.' Mr. Mc Cumber was one of the seven on inal "mild reservationists," who, un der the leadership of Senator Mc Nary, republican, Oresron. asreed last July to a definite program. He said the plan he presented was. the outgrowth of conferences between this group and republicans who fa vored stronger reservations. Taft's Reservations. It was revealed that the McCum ber draft of the article 10 reserva tion, which has been the trouble some point in all negotiations for an agreement, follows very closely a draft which former President Taft recently suggested to Senators Mc Cumber, Kellogg, republican, Minne sota; McNary and Colt, Rhode Isl and, republicans, and which they submitted to Republican Leader Lodge. The text of the new Taft reservation, together with one drawn by him regarding voting powers in the league, became pub lic tonight for the first time. Former President Taft's suggest ed reservations are as follows: "The United States assumes no obligation under the provisions of article 10 to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any other country or to interfere in controversies between other na tions, whether members of the league or not, or under any article of the treaty for any purpose to em ploy the military and naval forces of the United States except as in any particular case, the congress, which, under the constitution, has the sole, power to declare war and to au-' thorize the employment of the mili tary and naval forces of the United States, shall by act or joint resolu tion so specifically determine. Can't Have Representative. "The senate advises and consents to the treaty with the understand ing and reservation as part of the instrument of ratification that under article one of the covenant of the league of nations no self-governing dominion or colony of the British empire, of France, of Italy, of Japan, of the United States or of any other nation, whose representative is al ways a member of the council, can have a representative on the coun cil: and with the further understand ing and reservation that the exclu sion of the parties to the dispute in article 15 from the council or as sembly when bearing such dispute, includes both the mother country and her self-governing dominions or colonies, .members of the league, when either such mother country or dominion or colony is a party to the dispute."

George Matthews set off from the suburb of Hounslow today for an airplane flight to Australia, in an effort to win the prize of 10,000 offered by the commonwealth government for the feat.
