Japan joined with the other powers today In an ex pression of ympathy for the national aspirations of China, but added a post script reft retting any tendency toward a detailed examination by the arma , ment conference Into "innumerable minor matters" In the far east. In a statement omitting mention of specific points of controversy between the two oountrles, the Japanese dele gation Informed the conference that their government claimed no "special rights and privileges" In the procure ment of raw materials from China, harbored no "policy of territorial ag grandisement" at China's expense, and was ready to Join In any readjustment of extra territorial rights which ap peared "fair and satisfactory." To enter upon an examination of details, however, " the statement -declared, would be an attempt likely to result In "undue protraction of the discussions a reiteration of the ob jection Japan, has expressed repeated ly against re-opening the many, con troversies In the far east.

In turn, Great Britain, Prance, Italy, xhe Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal expressed in broad terms their desire . for the emancipation of China through commercial liberty and preserved ter ritorial Integrity, a general position already having the adherenoe of the United States. Then the committee ad journed until Monday, when the dis cussion of principles Is to give way to . a more detailed consideration of China's declaration of rights. The session of the committee was the only formal action of the confer ence during the day, although all the national groups eonferrtd Informally among themselves, and there was a conference lata In the afternoon be tween Secretary Hughes, Arthur J Balfour and Admiral Baron Katd, re spective heads of the American, British and Japanese delegations. All three declined to talk about the meeting but the Inference was drawn that they had met to consider further plana of pro cedure for the naval armaments nego tiations In which the three govern ments are the chief participants. Meantime the naval problem, refer red several days ago to a committee of experts, showed evidence of having de - veloped to the point where the naval establishments of France and Italy soon would be assigned a tentative status beside those of the three strong powers In the reduction plan. It war. emphasised, however, that any sug gested ratio the committee might con sider would be carefully reviewed by the delegates themselves before any national policies were laid down.' On Monday the conference will turn Its attention for the moment on the question of land armaments and at an open plenary session will hear from Premier Brland, the French viewpoint regarding the maintenance of armies It is not expected, however, that de tails of the question will be taken up until later, perhaps not before the naval armaments and tar eastern ques ions are near solution.

Tty the Japanese spokesman China's troubles were attributed largely to In ternal causes with which it was de clared the Toklo government had no desire to Interfore, much as It desired to see China's peace and unity, "firmly established." Emphasis was laid on the lndependenoe of Japan upon a sup ply of raw materials from China, but Baron Kato Insisted that the rule of equal opportunity for everyone must be preserved. The statement, generally considered as merely a reiteration of the prin ciples to which Japan has subscribed in the past, caused no surprise, among the delegates because of the previous ly lndioated Intention of the Japanese to avoid dlsousslon of detailed sub jects until the negotiations are more advanced. This Intention, and Japan's desire not te opes, up ''closed Incident" was further revealed In Baron Kato's closing words: "The Japanese delegation under stands that the principal object of the conference ts to establish In common acoord policies and principles which are to guide the future actions of the nations here represented.

WILL STAND NO EVASION Acceptance of Details Will Fol low the Acceptance In Prin ciple of Plan. EASTERN SHADOW FADING Fear Of Trouble With Japan Over Far Eastern settlement Is Dispelled Brland And His Land Arma ment ThrNrit Step. r Daltr Nesa Bureau and felecraph OftVe. 628 AIM Bidldlnt (By Lund Win) " By FRANK H. BIMOKDS. (Coprrilbt. 1021. by tin MeClure Nempiper Brndleste) Washington, Nov. 16. At the close of the first week of the Washington conference how shall one summarize the progress of events? Briefly, thus: We are still measurably under the empire of the first session. Mr. Hughes' swift, startling and decisive declaration seven days ago still supplies the main motive power of the session. In the nature of things two questions were to be answered. First, what of the limitation of armaments, and, second, what ef the far east? As to the former, wa have a program already accepted by tha great powers and despite all the present haggling. protesting, suggesting, in the end Mr. Hughes' program la going to be ac cepted substantially as it was pre sented. All tbe confusion of rumor and of roorback does not In the least affect the main situation. Each great power has special Interests and special con cerns in the- matter of sea security. Each Is .presenting Its case. Modifica tions and amendments of the Hughes program In detail are not only possible but probable, but such amendments as would transform the proportions and measurably restore competition will In the1 end disappear. So far as the naval phase Is concerned we have had a week of Reeling out on all sides, hut this process has followed an acceptance in Principle and everyone knows that in the end there will be an acceptance In detail. ' Vital Questions Answered. As to the far east, several vital questions have been answered. Had the United States assumed to write or In dlcated a desire to dictate the terms of a far eastern settlement war with Japan was at least an eventuality. The shadow of this possibility overhung the first .days of the conference. It has been disBlpated. We know that Mr. Hughes will not risk real and valuable Progress In the way of limitation of - rm u to , necessarily vague po)mil or nrlnolpl(1, upon Japan. juit aa it la now certain that we I shall have a reduction of naval I strength, so It Is now clear that we h ,. h . . ,n . shall have no break over the far east and that measurably we shall proceed by unanimous consent to establish those points on which agreement Is possible and to postpone for future discussion those Issues on which im mediate agreement Is not possible. In sum, the first week of the con Terence' has demonstrated that the whole world Is ready to accept a pro gram of naval limitations, such as Mr. Hughes, with daring courage, pre sented to the conference on the first day. By contrast, all the talk of modi fication and change In the relative strength la "small beer " Mr. Wilson used to talk of appealing- to the peoples of the world over the heads of their statesmen. Mr. Hughes spoke dlreotly to the people of every coun try In the world and their response will dictate ultimate substantial ceptance by their governments of the Hughes program. And 'In the same' seven''flays' Tt' TiaS been demonstrated that the problems of the far oast will not Imperil the success of the conference or be per mltted to menace the peace of the world. We are to have definite agree ment In the matter of the limitation of armaments on aea, and we are to have mutual understanding In con fllctlng points of view In the far east which will banish the nightmare of collision and open the way to adjust i ment ment. n" the P"n of France on land, arid I t(r M BrUnd llM,r, u e rcason to hope that Prince Tokagawa or Baron Kato will Illuminate us as to Japanese problems as she sees them In the far east. Equally sympathetic attention Is assured to both. As I have said he fore, the result of the Washington conference promises to be neatly wrap ped In appropriate parcels ready for Insertion In the Christmas stockings of the expectant world.

The bids for paving will run around J2C.0OO per mile, and with grading, hardly In excess of $30,000; probably less.

Plans for the Haw river bridge are understood to be well advanced, but the bridge draftsmen have been busy lately with mlnof bridges that will be built along with the road them selves, and are necessary to the pro cess of road construction. The Haw river contract will - probably be lot about the first of the year. Nothing has been done as to the big Spencer bridge. The Tallassee Power company contemplates building a -dam- below, and It is necessary to ascertain where Us water llns will be. - - There remain two more projects to be bid on, one to be surveyed, on the Central highway In this dlstrlot. Gull ford line to Thomasvllle survey has been completed, and the notes are In Raleigh. This Is under four miles. The Thomasvllle to Lexington survey will be made soon, when engineers from the Greensboro office go on the super vision of the -Lexlngton-yarikln river Job, Bpare time from supervision being devoted to the survey. The commission requires that bond should be made within 10 days after contracts are awarded, and actual work should start within SO days there after. It Is understood that the El-Uott-Sholos company hit off more than It wlKhes to chew. These people may ask to be relieved of one of the throe projects, -and the commission may award It to some other concern at the same price. ' It Is expected, however, that equipment and forces will shortly be placed for paving the eastern proj ect, where grading Is already well ad vanced, on a separate contract, and that work of grading will bogln in a few weeks on the other two.

Stopping Naval Building Having Important Moral Effect. TO OPPOSE THE JAPANESE British Supposed to Be Against Japan's Request For 10-7 Ratio.

Aim Bullrtltw IB, 1Kd Win) By C. W. OII.BKI1T. (roprrlftu, 1921, bi rhtlaarlftbla rublte Lrdter.) Washington, Nov. 19. The support which the British government Is giv ing the American program Is an Im portant factor In Its expected success. The stopping of naval construction In England is having an Important moral effect upon the conference. In ceasing construction Great Britain has gone a stop further than has the United Statos, which has only reduced build ing to a minimum. , . Then, too. It Is the general under standing here that the English delega tion will support tbe Americans with out reserve against the Japanese In their request that Japan be allowed a navy 70 per cent as strong as that of England and the United States. Again the stressing by the British this morning of their willingness to abandon their spheres of Influenoe In China for some kind of International understanding there will have an Im portant effect In furthering the Amer ican Idea of equality of opportunity for all nations In the Celestial kingdom. Abnnelonlna; "UpherssJ BrltlshSpubllclty this morning called emphatlo' attention to the statement made hy Mr. Harmsworth under secre tary of foreign affairs that the policy of spheres of Influenoe In China had been superseded by one of Interna tional co-operation and this policy would be a subject for further discus sion at the conference. It was further said definitely and on authority that British, government would waive Its claims to Its spheres of Influence If an International agreement could ' be reached. This puts both the French and the English on the side of giving the -Chinese the utmost possibilities of self development and affording the freest opportunities to all for trading In China Only Japan of the more Im portant nations now haa not offered to abandon her spheres of Influence. Japan's soelUaa -an. this jeapaet as somewhat more difficult than that of the other powers. Her chief spheres of influence are Manchuria and Mon golia These two provlnoea are vastly more essential to tha future of Japan than is the Yangtse valley, England's greatest sphere of Influence to Eng land, And the disposition of the pow ers here Is to let Japan maintain a preferred position In Manchuria and Mongolln,,whlch are not a part of his toric China, and which have much of the time for many years been out of her possession. ,Wlth regard td their request for a larger navy the Japanese delegates are In difficulties. On the one hand la the military party In japan who will make an Issue of It if they do not make a fight to retain the great battleship, the Mutsu, practically complete and one of the most p6werful Instruments of war afloat. Under the Hughes plan It would be scrapped. On the other hand Is the rising pop ular party, which Is anti-mllltarlstlc. The strength of the popular movement In Japan Is Illustrated In what has happened between the Japanese dele gates here and the correspondents of the Japanese newspapers here. The published account that Baron Kato easily suppressed criticisms by the correspondents of his attitude in ask ing for an Increased naval allowance for Japanese are by no meahs true. ' Kato Criticised By Japs. He asked the correspondents to sup port the Japanese position. In return they demanded to know the reasons why a 60. per cent navy was not ade quate to Japan. He gave them a long and confidential session with the Jap anese naval experts. After thoir session the oorrespond onts of the more popular newspapers, such as the Asahl of Toklo and Osaka with 1,000,000 circulation. Were uncon vinced and began cabling to 'Japan their crKlcism of Kato's position. American newspaper correspondents hardly went further than that at Paris. This action of the Japanese corre spondents signifies the big change that is taking place In Japan. Baron Kato thus has not only the American government and the British government firmly against him but he has a rising tide of popular opinion at home In opposition. He may save the Mutsu by offering to scrap her equiv alent In other capital ships allowed In the HukIi'" Plan, or he may gain an Increase In purely defensive ships such as light cruisers. The Americans are rather indifferent .. alwtH defensive cruisers. Tliey are firm upon capital ships. The ratio adopted by Mr. Hughes was the actual ratio of ships really in operation In the navies of the three great sea powers upn the date of the assembling of the conference Novem ber 12. It will hardly be modified. NINE-YEAR-OLD BOY IS KILLED BY NEGRO BOY Monroe Mriimrr shot Near fjanford. Sheriff snd 1'osse Are Hunting. For the sure. , -Heeriat w bell ,Sl.) . Knnford. Nov. 19.

DETAILS TASK OF EXPERTS (Xr Aauelatrt Men I Washington, Nov. 1. Beoretary Hughes and his associates of the Amer ican delegation have no Intention of Unwesnlai lira- e 4tie naval experts the formulation of any policies to guide American aotlon In naval or other questions pertaining to the armament eonferenoe. 'It waf made plain today that tha function of the experts was strictly that of developing the facts. Determin ation of policies upon those facts Is the reserved right of the civilians who make up the American delegation. Emphasis in this connection was laid today on the undeslrabillty of divert ing attention from the main Issue of the American naval proposals, the capital ship ratio plan.. All questions of proportions of auxiliary craft, the place of submarines in the scheme of curtailment and similar Items are look ed upon by the American delegation as of secondary lmportanoa For this reason the American atti tude of. resolute adherence to the "6-6- ratio" of'yie American capital ship plan has been emphasised. It Is this main issue which is still to be met together with the 10-year building holiday and a substantial immediate re duction in tonnage already afloat. The announced Intention of the Japanese delegation to seek an alteration of the ratio, however. Is he only known stumbling block to this first, vital agreement so far as can be seen. How far the work of the experts has cleared the way for that understand ing It Is difficult, to say at the end of the first full week of eonferenoe deliberations. The workings of the ex ports remain a mysterious, little known processto the world at large. In connoction with the Japanese at titude, the Impression appeared to gain ground today that Admiral Haron Kato. in announcing his purpose to seek a slightly higher tonnage ratio for Ja pan was prompted to some extent by considerations involving home politics. It was hardly to be eipectod, sums of ficers said In comment, that he could accept out of hand a definite relega tion of Japan to -the short end of the "6-6-8 ratio", proposal without a fight Japan was said always to have looked toward a ratio ef 76 to 100 In naval strength as comparod to the United States. How far Baron Kato Is prepared to press that fight, however, and whether he does not already stand committed to the American program of maintain ing a naval status quo between the two powers on a reduced scale, re mains to be seen. There Is nothing to Indicate that succees of the conference has Ih any way been jeopardized by tarwtsje -yet-ta hw. by tha , JapMum delegates.

Leaders of the flenubllcans In the house who bolted on the surtax amend ment said today that while some Ke publlcans were opposed to the action of the conferees in striking out sen ste amendments providing for Increas ed Inheritance taxes and for making Income tax returns available to Con gress, there would be no organised opposition to the bill, Cnpnrstlna Tax 11 1-3 Per Cent In winding up their work on ths measure today, the house and senate managers fixed the corporation Income tax rate at IS snd one-half per cent, the figure In the original house bill. This Increases the present rate by two and one half per cent, but is two and one half per cent below the figure agreed upon by the senate. In lltfu of the Wadsworth amend ments taxing Industrial alcohol and beer, wine and whiskey used for med If I rial purposes, the conferees agreed to the original house provision relat ing to liquor taxes. This retains the present tax of 12.20 a gallon on dis tilled spirits, with a provision for, am additional ' tat of Jl.tO a gallon en such spirits diverted for beverage purposes. This tax would be "paid by the person responsible tor suoh di version." The conferees retained the senate amendment repealing the normal ex emption of (2.000 allowed corpora tions, but the repeal would not apply In tha. case of corporations having net Incomes of (25,000 or less. The Walsh amendment proposing a tax rrtnglng from one per cent to ti per cent, on gifts of property by per sons was eliminated, This was design ed, according to Its author, to prevent evasion of the surtax by wealthy In dividuals dividing their property among their relatives. A new provision for taxing gain from the sale of capital assets was written Into the bill. It Is limited to Individuals and provides that If the taxpayer elects to make a separate return for the taxation of his Income from the sale of capital assets, he shall pay a tax on the gain at the corpora tion Income rale of 12 1-2 per cent on the total of the gain. The Lenroot amendment excluding stock of corpor ations from capital assets to be so trealed was eliminated. Tax On Konatala Symps. The managers retained the senate amendment Imposing a tax of five o-nts a gallon on fountain syrups used In the manufacture of carbonated beverages prepared for sale In closed containers. This l in addition to a tax of two cents a gallon on such be verages. In reducing the proposed corporation income tux rate the conferees reduced by (l.lo.uoiuii'O the estimated return from the "bill.

Some estimates were that from (160, 000.000 to COO.000,000 had been cut from the Ijlll. which, as It passed the senate, wh designed to y i Alrt approx imately 13, :ion, 000,000, or sltKhtly less than the trttal treasury officials told the senate flnanrs committee In Hep. lember would be necessary fr this fiscal veur. " OiHlrman I'enrose, of the senate managers, however, said the bill as finally amended by the conferees was "entirely adequate" for the Immediate revenue needs of the government, but he would make no estimate as lo the total yield RICHARD HARE KILLED ON BILTMORE ESTATE !tfiKtr Phot toy Inttnonn Protia k'rom Auftimolrlle llr Mml Or dered Them lo I . ivf l',ia(e, rftiHviil to lixili Nmw ) AnhevlMr, Nov.
