NOTHING INDICATES CHANGE IN FA EAST PARLEY,' In the Far Eastern discussions, today's deliberations contributed no surface indications of progress, de spite an appeal by the Chinese to Secretary Hughes and Arthur J. Balfour to suggest a way out of the Chinese-Japanese deadlock on Shantung. The Chinese delegates saw the respective heads of the -American and British, delegations separately, and opinion was divid ed afterward as to the prospects. Facing a situation that both de scribed as delicate, it was appar ent tho two parties to tho contro versy could not even agree en a method by which a mediation could be attempted. The Chinese wanted to avail themselves of the offer of "good offices" made by Messrs Balfour and Hughes, but the Japanese took tho position that such a step would be valueless un less China was prepared to make concessions she hitherto has re fused to consider. A solution hinges on the method of payment to be arranged for i.'hlniw purchase of tho Tslngtao Tslnanfu railroad, and both aides say they have gone as far as they can toward a compromise. In American quarters, however, the opinion is expressed that the dif ference is so small as to make a final disagreement unthinkable. v it is considered certain mat Mr. Balfour and Secretary Hughes, in their roles as mediators, will use every reasonable means to bring the two groups together, for there lias been a tendency In many quar ters to regard settlement of the long debated Shantung problem as an Integral element in the solution f the remaining questions of the far east. These questions are to come in , for Intensive discussion (luring the coming week, and the delegates all appear to believe that ! lie air would be cleared appreci ably if Shantung wore out of the way. i TAJKE ANOTHER WEEK TAE ANOTHER WEEK. The general Millet is that with the armament negotiations ended, 'ne far eastern side of the confer nee could be wound up, iii another eek or ten days.

TOM SAYS Declares Threat Made on Political Career if New berry Sustained. TRAMMELLSCORES NEWBERRY CLAIMS Declares Testimony in His Behalf Is "Too Full of Holes." WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. Senate debate on the Newberry case came to a dramatic climax today when Senator Townsend, of Mich igan, speaking In behalf of his col league, declared that certain In terests had threatened hispolitical life if he voted to .sustain tho right of Senator Newberry to his soat over the contest Initiated by Hen ry Ford. Senator Townsend frankly de clared that If he consulted only his political future ho might be tempt ed to bo silent on the whole ques tion of tho F ord -Newberry coB test. With great feeling he de clared ho could not and would not lake the easier path, for in so do ing he would stultify himself and do violence to his own conscience and courage. Time and again the Michigan ,seator was Interrupted as ha at- tacKea tne enemies or :sewDcrry who, he said, wero "trying to de prive him of his seat out of ani mosity and hatred." He charac terized Henry Ford as a pacifist who had been thrown Into the po litical ring by President Wilson and asserted that while too much money had been spent in tho Mlehi igan campaign for NeVberry's good, the ciwnce of no poor man was hurt because all of tho candi dates In the three cornered pri mary were millionaires. Describing Senator Newberry as the "peer of any man In this chamber," Senator Townsend an nounced that bis colleague would appear on tho floor Monday to speak for himself, ready to submit to reasonable questioning, but that he would not subject himself to cross '-examination, or heckling. ' "Ah, i don't doubt," he declared "that this good mau whs is this moment a senator wouio. give every dollar he has if he has never en tered the campaign. He has suf fered the tortures of hell: he has been villlfled and accused, and blamed, and Its all the worse, be cause l am convinced It s a polltl ca.1 Job." Turning to members on tho democratic side. Senator Townsend told them that there must have been a time when some of therm, like Newberry had suffered from tne foolish acts of their friends, Senatqr Trammell, democrat, Florida, engaged in exchanges with Mr. Townsend and these colloquies entered Senator Spencer, republi can, Missouri, who is leading tho first of November the fight tor Newberry and Senator Walsh democrat, Montana, a strong op ponent or tne. Michigan senator, Senators Spenfter and Walsh. sparred frequently over legal phas es pr the Newjierry case and at times the scene partook of the na ture of a courtroom rather than an executive body because of extended technical arguments. Senator Trammell later spoke for 30 minutes in denunciation pf mo claims ror retention by New berry of his seat, devoting his time largely to a review of the evldenee In the court trial and senate Inves tigation. He declared much of the testimony was so full of holes was ridiculous to claim it was true. s Pisouasfng the expenditures in the Michigan primary, Mr. Tram- mell asserted that throughout the court and committee records alike ran a thread of money, monev everywhere, money from beginning to ena. "This money was not used." he continued, "for legitimate purposes but to do the very things which were forbidden by the Michigan statutes. The - senator from Mli sourl. Mr. Spencer, says there was nothing wrong in manner or mori als. If there was nothing wronir in the Michigan case, then the flood gates must be opened.

WASHINGTON. Jan. .7 Henry Ford, In the clew of war depart ment officials, occupies the position of first importance among those bidding for lease, purchase, com pletion and operation ot the Mus cle Shoals, Ala., nitrate and power project a. Secretary Weeks announced to day after a conference with C. C. Tinkler, president of the Construc tion Company of North America, of San Francisco, who sought an agreement by which his company would complete construction work and operate the plants on a semi governmental basis, that the Ford offer was tho only comprehensive scheme before tiltn for completion of the project and manufacture of fertilizer by private enterprise. Both.the Tinkler proposal and that recently submitted by Freder ick E. Engstrum,of Wilmington, N. C, It was said, related almost entirely to construction work on the dams and other plants and In volved the government In future management of them as well as In paying for the work to be dono. The virtual placing of the two offers in the class of contract bids rather than lease and operation proposals brought Mr. Ford's plan again to the forefront of the trans action and removed in the minds of war department officials what ever Idea had existed that the Tinkler and Kngstrum plans were of a competitive sort as compared to that ot the Detroit manufac turer. It was recalled that when Mr. Weeks first announced his desire to dispose ot the Muscle Shoals property to a reputable private ln- terest who would guarantee to op crate them to the country's ad vantage, he was prompted prln cipaUy by the motive of making them serviceable to the nation, guaranteeing their operation rr.her than letting them slam! dead still, and without asking con grers for the millions necessary for government construction and man agement.

Collins Makes Appeal for Accommodation Between the Two Parties so Public Order May Be Pro- : vided for in the New Free State. DUBLIN, Ireland. Jan. 7. (By the Associated Press.) The treaty creating the Irish Free State was ratified to night by the Dail Eireann. By a majority of seven votes, 64 to 57, the dail gave its approval to the document signed by its delegates at London. Coincidentally, Eamonn De Vajera announced his res ignation from the presidency of the Irish republic. Tho news was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and the patient crowds, which had waited for hours outside the university building in anticipation of a decision, burst into cheering, even before the official figures were an nounced. Ratification of the treaty came after a day of intense ex citement and heated controversy. Although the result was aa had been expected, the majority in favor of the agree ment was greater than had been counted on almost up to the last minute. A tense, strained silence prevailed while the vote was : being taken, and a gasp of relief went up from the sup-t" porters of tho treaty when the result was announced. A' dramatic scene ensued when De Valera stood up and in broken voice, which vibrated with emotion, declared that "the republic" must be carried on. 'V , Eventually he broke down so completely th.lt he was unable to proceed. The Dail Eireann, with one aucord, ap plauded and cheered him. , , , SITUATION APPEARS CHAOTIC The situation at the adjournment of the dall appeared to remain chaotic. The dall will meet on Monday and there Is no disposition revealed by De Valera and hts fol lowers to abandon the factional 1 struggle. The future control of the Irish republican army Is tonight the sub ject wf anxious speculation, as Charles Burgess, who strongly op posed the treaty, Is the minister of defense. 80 far as the public Is concerned, Dublin seems delighted over ratification, Arthur Grilltth and his colleagues on emerging from the parliament were wildly cheered and the city tonight Is in jubilant spirits. On the announcement of the fig ures, De Valera rose and declared that tJtlfi. Irish people had establish ed a republic, and until the Irish, people In a regular manner dises tablished the republic it constitu tionally went on. This would be a sovereign body in the nation which tho nation looked for supreme government. It was the executive until the people disestablished It. Nobody was disposed to chal lenge (his proposition, for the gen eral opinion all along had been that during the transition period Ire land mtint keep her representative assembly until the treaty was eon verted Into an act of parliament and the Irish would have an op portunity to erect a legislature of the tree state jo replace the dall. Michael Collins In quiet tones followed De Vulera. He said he did not regard the result In any spirit of triumph. He claimed that the men representing the dall who would be responnlble for taking over frouj the r.rltlsh, government control of the Irish administration should get "n, fulr chance. In ev Get Status Same As Canada; Provisional Government Next The new regime for Ireland has now been approved both by (he British parliament and by the dial eireann.

Ireland shall be known officially as tun Irish Free State, w th a parliament having powers for gov ernment of the country and an executive responslblle to that par liament. A provisional government is to be set up to function until an Irish parliament and a government of the Irish Free State shall le con stituted, but not longer than I" months at the oiKslde. The treaty stlpulaies that a rep resentative of the crown shall lie appointed for Ireland In the same manner as tho governor-general of Canada. Ireland Is given control over all governmental affairs and is en titled to an army which shall, how ever, not bo larger in proportion to Ireland's population than the British army Is lo the population of Great brltaln. One of tho Hrt steps by virtue ot ratification by the dail, will be withdrawal of the Urltieh forces from Ireland.

(This was greet pd with cheers.) t Mr. Collins declared that Ds Val era held the same place In his heart as ever. Then followed a violent apeeeh by Mary MacSwIney denouncing the result as worse than the be trayal ot Ireland in the days ot Castierea (.Viscount Castlereagh, tnarquia of Londonderry, who aa ehiet secretary for Ireland In 1T8, was instrumental in carrying tht union In 1800.) (Mr. pe Valera rose again, sup posedly to reply to Mr. Collins ovexture. However, he took ng no-: tlee of It and merely appealed t all his own supporters in the dall to raoet him at the mansion house tomorrow afternoon.
