The southern depression has crossed
the Florida peninsula and is now cen
tered off the coast southeast of Jack
sonville. It has caused light to mod
erate rains from western Louisiana
eastward to the Atlantic coast and
moderate to heavy rains in central
Florida. There have also been light to
moderate rains in the State of Wash
ington, but elsewhere throughout the
country fair weather has prevailed.
The northwestern depression has in
creased in intensity, its center being
now over the upper Lakes. . Its move
ment, has been attended by warmer
weather in the Plains and north Atlan
tic States and somewhat warmer in
tlie Lake region. The temperature has
fallen tn the central Gulf States and
thence northeastward to the Carolina
and Virginia coasts.
High pressure continues from the
Plateau region southeastward to the
west Gulf coast. Killing frosts are re
ported from centi'al Texas.
This "high" will extend eastward,
and under its influence the weather in
this vicinity will contimie fair over
Sunday, with no decided change in
temperature.

of the four Powers us
Washington. Dec. 1 0. (Bv the Asso
ciated Press) The Washington confer
ence was prepared to announce to the
world today its fiist major achievement
the four-power agreement designed
to preserve peace in the Pacific and
providing in direct terms, it is under
stood, for abrogation of the Anglo
Japanese alliance.
The conference was called to hold its
fourth plenarv session at 11 a. m. to
receive the declaration of the United
States, Great Britain, France and Japan
of their acceptance of the agreement
binding them not to go to war over dis
putes arising in connection with the
Pacific islands until elase of a definite
period giving opportunity for peace
ful discussion and settlement. The dele
gates were hurriedly summoned to
meet in plenary session by Chairman
Hughes after his meeting with delega
tion spokesmen last night, on receipt
from Paris of the French acceptance of
the proposal.
FRANCE JOINS IN
Final developments in connection
with the agreement came rapidly, the
treaty draft being quickly whipped in
to final, form as to details after receipt
of the French acceptance in principle

viously announced
which called for a meeting of the Far
Eastern committee at the time later
fixed for the plenary session. The
treaty text is brief in its provision for
abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese al
liance and for a "cooling off process
should war be threatened over questions
of the Pacific islands.
While the question of naval ratio,
according to some of the foreign dele
gation spokesmen, was not to be taken
up, at least directly, at the plenary ses
sion, its relation to the four-power
agreement was regarded as vital and
there was seen to be a rapid clearing
of the way in the treaty development
for final agreement on the naval prob
lem. Another vital "influence in this
direction was seen in the strong intima
tions today that an informal under
standing at least, had been reached be

Washington, Dec. 10. Commissioner
Burke, of Indian Affairs, announced to
day through his annual report, that
he had found it unwise to continue
the recognition of Indians of one-half
or less Indian blood as competent
without further proof.
Nearly a million acres of land, the
commissioner stated, allotted to In
dians during the year ending last
June 30, and 1,700 patents in fee
were issued to competent Indians. In
this connection. Mr. Burke in his re
port said it would be the purpose of
the bureau, under his administration,
so far as possible, to test the . appli
cant tor a patent in fee by actual ac
complishments on his land, or in some
occupation, before granting full title to
his property.
The commissioner announced a re
vision of the course of study for In
dian schools; enlarged supervision by
a corp3 of experienced school men,
and a program of co-operation calcula
ted not onlj to strengthen the Govern
ment day and boarding schools, but to
extend largely the attendance of In
dian children in the public schools.
The report showed greatly reduced
appropriations for suppression of the
liquor traffic among the Indians, con
sequent upon the passage of national
prohibitory measures, but said much
work still was necessary, chie'fly
against bootleggers and moonshiners.
Much credit was given by the Com
missioner to the labors of the Chris
tian missionaries, who now number
more than 600. He added that their
work was a most fortunate aid to Fed
eral administration.

Philadelphia, Dec. 10. That his six-year-old
son may attend school, Edwin
F. Dost is literally giving his life's
blood. The son, Edwin George Wash
ington Dost, is suffering from a strange
malady that prevents his blood from
congealing and physicians are unwil
ling to vaccinate him for fear he will i
bleed to death at the slightest scratch:
Unless he is vaccinated he cannot at
tend school.
In efforts to make the boy's blood
normal, physicians have transfused one
pint of his father's blood into his veins.
The transfusions will continue, the
father says, as Ion as is necessary to
put his son in shape to undergo the
vaccination.
