WILSON TO REMAIN
SILENT ON TREATIES
TRAItf ROBBER'S WIFE GREETS HIM IN PRISON
Sets Lead For Friends As To
New Pact
(Special to The Star.)
WASHINGTON, Dec 14 JPormer
President Wilson has let it be known
that he desires his friends in the sen
ate to withhold any final opinion on
the armament conference agreements
until they are all on the table. He has
indicated that snap judgment would
be unwise and improper at this time..
His mind is open on the subject. " It
was strongly suggested to the friends j
of the ex-president that they follow his .
example and refrain form passing
judgment until every detail available
is before them.
This is underatpod to mean that Air.
"Wilson would not follow the course of
Senator Lodge on the Versailles treaty
and begin to create prejudice against
those who frame the limitation of
armament conference treaties.
Senator Glass, of Virginia, who cast
the deciding vote making Senator Un
derwood leader of the senate, is now
ready to support some other man for
that important post. If-, Mr. Under
wood Is ousted, Senator Simmons will
be asked to take his place. The Demo
crats did not want Mr. Underwood to
accept the place on the armament con
ference delegation. They think that it
ties his hands. The storm now gather
ing in the Democrat camp may pass
over without much of a blow, but it
looks rather angry now.
" Mr. Wilson's attitude ma-y allay the
troubled feelings of Democrat senators.

Saturday when it adopted a resolution
today agreeing that no new bills would
be Introduced in that body after the
morning, and the senate has turned
down a bunch of proposals from Its
members to cbeck the flow of roll call
bills but it will be ready to adjourn as
soon as the "house finishes its w9rk.
The senate has been making better
time than the house, and its work is
"up to date," the flurry of Monday
night is passing and what Senator
Mendenhall. of Guiltoro, terms "torn
folery" is being checked, so that only
the constitutional convention bill re
mains before the general assembly
now a a possible trouble maker.
Fo- instance, the senate bill reduc
ing the rersonal property tax exemp
tion from 5300 to $100 has been kill
ed, failing to survive a house com

Near bill to abolish the state de
primary did not get anv-where with
i-srnnr. the women and the
farmers aeainst it. The new ejectment
bill, over which senate battled last
night, is doomed even if Senator Long
succeeds in getting it through the sen
ate upon reconsideration. House mem
bers and some of the senators declare
the lower body has been proving a
"stop watch" for the upper body dur
ing the session, referring in these re
marks to the exemption bill and the
ejectment bill.
Representative Connor, of Wilson,
introduced in the house this morn
ing a bill amending the mandamus
section of the public school law pro
viding for a jury trial in all legal
battles over the rate of taxes coun
ties must levy for the operation of
schools for the ix months term. The
bill will go through with the educa
tional bill, validating previous school
tax rates and raising the maximum
authorized rate from 30 to 3a cents
thereby insuring in the opinion of
Representatives, positive settlement of
school disputes and acting as a bar
rier against possible future difficulties.
Heretofore, disputes of this character
were heard before the superior court,
judge in chambers, going from him
directly to the supreme court.
The house put a stop to efforts to
have the daisy adopted as the official
state flower, a bill introduced by Rep
resentative Ross containing- this pro
vision having been defeated on a viva
voce vote.
On hearing that her husband, Roy Gardner, train robber and escaped
convict, had been recaptured, Mrs. Dollj- Gardner hurried from her home
in San Francisco to greet Gardner in the prison at Phoenix Ariz. The
bars prevented any more intimate greeting than a handclasp between
Gardner and his faithful wife. The photo shows Gardner, his wife and
United States Marshal Joe Dilliam.

Lloyd George Reports
LONDON, Dec. 14. (By the Asso
ciated Press). Contrasted strikingly
with Britain's roj-al pomp and splen
dor displayed in the house of Lords
at noon today was the scene in the
house of commons a few hours later
when, without ceremony, but with evi
dent consciousness of power and in
fluence, tho members heard the prime
minister render an account of his
stewardship and the government's part
in the Irish settlement.
For an hour and three quarters Mr.
Lloyd George spoke to crowded benches
and jammed galleries. The only-touch
of color in the ancient legislative
chamber was the brilliant red coated
uniform of Col. Sir Samuel Hoara,
who moved the reply to the speech
from the throne.
Tell of Procenre
It was not an oration like that of
October 31, when the premier, having
been challenged presented to the coun
try the alternatives of war or negotia
tions with Ireland, and won the day
by a '"decision overwhelming favoring
the government's policy; his role today
was of one simply narrating the prob
.lems faced by the delegates, with a
description of the way they were hand
led. Early in his address he silenced
those inclined to interrupt him. When
an Ulster member Interrogated . him
on "allegiance," Mr. Lloyd George hav
ing said that the status of Ireland
was that of a free state, with alle
giance to the king, he turned and fac
ed the Ulsterite, and declared empha
tically: "Yes, allegiance to the king,
and swearing allegiance to the king.-'
He then asked the member to refrain
from interruptions as his task of ex
position was difficult and one wh'h
he disliked.
The prime minister was deeply im.
preasive as he came near the end, when
in slow tones and solemn manner he
drew a pieture yof the British Imperial
war cabinet, at which a vacant chair
was waiting for Ireland, and looked

"Contrary to popular belief, there -is
no city of Hong Konc," continues the
bulletin. "That well known name .be
longs to an island of 32 square miles
extent which lies off the south coast
of China, and has been applied as well
to the wonderful harbor between the
island and the mainland. The city of
half a million inhabitants which is the
capital of the island and the colony is
officially Victoria. But the name is
seldom heard. To the islanders the
beautiful terraced town is merely 'the
city.
Social Slfmb Are Hill Climb
"The city reveals the stratification
due to wealth and social position in a
striking way. Aside from a cable tram
way which carries the visitor to 'The
Peak, 1,200 feet above the gelatine
pond harbor with its toy ships from

"But evenihere there;, are too many
homes to make any group distinctive
and it is the governor's summer villa
high up on a small plateau near the
top of the peak from which wireless
signals are sent that is the real height
of social Alps. Around the island
there runs a fine motor road 22 miles
long, which carries the visitor away
from the world-famed harbor and its
booming salutes. Ten square miles of
excellent anchorage make this the
parking place for many a typhoon
tossed ship in the storm season and
sampans bob about on the water in a
way that reveals the ancestry of the
present boatsmen and reminds one of
the time when this splendid city and
port was an almost barren island with
tiny fishing villages strung along its
shores. Recently there has been de

there alone. When sharing his house
with the Eastlakes, the witness said,
they appeared to get along harmoniously.
