Great Britain Sulci to Sustain United
States in Support of
Points.
Washington, Nov. 17.—-Heads of
the delegations of the nine powers
participating in discussion of Far
Kastern questions at a meeting to-
day decided to proceed first with the
consideration of problems relating to
China before entering upon Far
Eastern questions. The other ques-
tions, it was decided, will be taken
up in the order listed by the tenta-
tive agenda suggested some time ago
by the American government.
Washington, Nov. 17.-—Secretary
Hughes today called a meeting of the
American armament delegates for
2:30 o'clock. The purpose of the
meeting was not announced, but it
was understood to be for discussion
of the plans of delegation heads for
dealing with Pacific and Far Eastern
questions.
Preliminary reconnoitering gave
way to more direct negotiation today
in the endeavors of the armament
conference to find a solution for the
problems of the Far East.
Sitting as a special committee on
the Far Eastern situation, the heads
of the nine delegations went into con-
ference to outline the respective poli-
cies by which each will be guided and
to work out a plan of procedure that
will give each of these policies a fair
show.
Discuss China.
The ten points presented yesterday
by China with the general packing of
the United States, formed the basis
of today's exchanges which were de-
signed to develop step by step the
attitude of the nine delegations. No
one expected this process to go very
far at today's meeting, although the
discussion of a program was consid-
ered certain to draw out the opinions
of the powers as to the relative im-
portance of the topics before them.
The opinion of the American dele-
gation, which appeared to have con-
siderable support among the repres-
entatives of the other powers was
that the Far Eastern negotiations
need not be complicated by the sub-
committee to deal with especial sub-
jects. The Aimerican delegation re-
quiring prolonged scrutiny of experts.
They would be glad to see the big
nine, or the full conference go di-
rectly to work without parceling out
branches of the task to any more
sub-committees than are absolutely
essential.
Britain Favors Them.
Known to have the moral support
of the United States, the ten princi-
ples at least, so far as they stand for
actual practice of the open door pol-
icy, and for abolishment of "spheres
of influence" in the Far East, also are
declared on the highest authority to
have the support of Great Britain.
By the same authority it was said
the conference would proceed to con-
sideration of Far Tastern questions at
once on the basis of the proposal sub-
mitted by the Chines delegations, the
various principles set out in the plan
to be referred to experts who will ex-
amine them and submit their reports
to the full confertnce at the earliest
practical moment.
Japan Is Fearful.
Japan would heartily subscribe to
many of the points presented by the
China delegation, it was stated by
spokesmen for her delegation, but
other points raised doubtful ques-
tions which might be answered only j
after mature consideration. Chief ,
among the latter they regarded the'
proposal that the powers conclude no
treaties affecting China without con-
sulting her, the Japanese considering
this might directly affect the Anglo-
Japanese alliance.
It was declared to be the British
view however, that the alliance was
not directly involved in the Chinese
proposal, although it may later be
drawn into the discussion. As di-
rectly affecting their individual na-
tional interests, the Japanese also ap-
pear to attach great importance to
the proposal that all existing com-
mitments relating to China should be
"examined with a view to determin-
ing their scope and validity."
Delayed for Japan.
The Chinese proposal was favor-
ably commented upon by both the
French and Italian delegations as
forming a suitable basis for discus-
sion of the whole Far Eastern ques-
tion, although lacking deflniteness
except as to principle.
Admiral Baron Kato, on behalf of
the Japanese delegation later asked
and received from the heads of thw
nine participating powers a delay of
several days to allow examination of
the proposals.
Armistice Day
Program Good
Stigler Defeats
Haskell 40 to 7
A .i.nistice Day last Friday was ob-|
. crved in Stigler by citizens from all
over the county.
The big parade in the morning
started the program and it wa one
of the largest of its kind ever held;
hen'. Several nice floats were in the'
parade and ex-soldiers, school child-
ren, autos, civilians, and in fact ev-j
erybody took part. The procession |
formed at Central School Building, j
came east to Third street, and was
joined at the Methodist church by
the pupils from Boone School. The
parade then came down Third street
to Main, thence east to the Hut on
the Court House Square.
An address of welcome was deliv-
ered by H. M. Moore, mayor, folltw-
ing which William G. Stigler deliv-
ered an address of welcome on behalf
of the Munn-Dunlap Post.
The main speaker of the day was
Ex-Congressman W. W. Hastings,
who was introduced by Attorney Ben
Belew. Mr. Hastings delivered one
of the best addresses we have ever
heard asd in his talk ably reviewed
what congress did during the war
and during which time he was con-
gressman.
In the afternoon the visiting sol-
diers and other people were treated
with a good football game at the
fair grounds between Sltgler and
Haskell.
The fireworks display in the ev-
ening was a fitting close for the day's
celebration, being the best the people
of Stigler have had the pleasure of
seeing.

I'AULINE FREDERICK
IN "MADAME X"
Fate is oftimes the cruelest of
jesters. Jacqueline Floriot's piteous
life story bears vivid evidence of this.
Turned from her home and family by
her remorseless husband, a deputy
attorney of Paris, she is unable to
escape the dread shadow of a fate
that crosses her baffled footsteps with
ever increasing menace. Fate, in
the guise of hei' husband's unjust
luspicions, denies her the right to
gee her son; fate places in her hands
the weapon which destroys a black-
mailer who would ruin the career of
her husband, now a ju)dge; and fate
brings her before the bar of justice
where her husband presides and also
places her light for ljfe in the hands
of her son—counsel for the defence.
And having played trumps to the last
fate plays its joker, the highest card
of all—death. Pauline Frederick in
the role of Jacqueline Floriot brings
an emotional art to the screen more
intensiled than any ever displayed by
this popular star. You may have

play—most everyone has, now see

The Haskell High School eleven
went down in defeat before the
speedy onslaught of the Stigler High
"house-movers" here Friday 40 to'7,
before an Armistice Day crowd of
1500 people. i
The invaders were completely out- .
classed in every department of the
game, although both teams were nea*
equal in weight. The Stigler line
was invincible and our speedy back- j
line displayed all phases of the foot- t
ball yame. Haskell could only make
Kains occaslonaly around end or with 1
a fake buck or pass. Their only scor- j
Ing came in the first quarter by re- |
ceiving one of her own punts on the
5-yard line.
Stigler continued its winning gsume
until the final whistle blew, making
i he majority of touchdowns on
stiaight football, although the aerial
atidck was used.

Pittsburg, Kan., Nov. 17.—Alex-
ander M. Howat, for 20 years a fig-
ure in labor controversies In the
Kansas coal fields, is no longer a
member of the United Mine Workers
of America.
The Kansas leader today stood au-
tomatically and permanently expelled
from the organization, with rein-
statement possible only through ac-
tion by the executive board of the in-
ternational union. Expelled with
him were those officials of his admin-
istration who recently were deposed
on order of John L. Lewis, president
of the international union, and who
have kept the suspended administra-
lon alone several weeks in defiance
to the international.
Howat and August Dorehy, the de-
posed vice president, are in jail at
Columbus, where they are servini
ntrfnces of six /months each for vio-
latli g the state industrial court law
by calling strikes in an Uictust. / re-
garded as essential to the pub'-c wet
fare.
Expulsions of the officer was defin-
itely announced late last night by
Van A. Bittners of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
special representative of the interna-
ional unions, sent here by President*
Lewis to take charge of the Kansas
district affairs.
Bittners' announcement followed
one he made earlier in the night that
he would proceed immediately to sus-
pend from membership approximately
t,000 Kansas miners, who have fail-
ed to obey the terms of an order of
the international to end the present
strike in Kansas and go back to
work. The strike was called volus-
tarily by the men September 3 in
protest against the incarceration of
Howat and Dorchy. The imen sus-
pended for failure to obey the back-
to-work order may obtain reinstate-
ment by payisg fees of $10 each to
the union treasury, as provided by
the organization's constitution.

Insurgent Leader Declares "ItomU

Effective.
Washington, Nov. 17.—President
Harding today informed republican
house conferees on the revenue bill
that a maximum surtax of 40 per
cent would be agreeable to the ad-
ministration.
The president's views were ex-
pressed at an interview at the White
House with Chairman Fordney of the
house ways and means committee,
and Representative Longworth, of
Ohio, who, with Mr. Fordney and
Representative Green, of Iowa, made
up the republican house conferees.
The bill as passed by the house, pro-
vided for a maximum Income surtax
of 32 per cent, but the senate pro-
vided a maximum of 50 per cent and
what virtually amounted to a dead-
lock, ensued.
Arrangements were made at the
conference for the president to send
a letter to Chairman Fordney, setting
forth his views. Mr. Harding was
represented as favoring the 32 per
cent maximum but agreeable to thfc
40 per cent compromise in view of
the legislative situation.
Representative Dickinson, of Iowa,
leader of the "insurgent" republicans,
said he did not think the president's
velws expressed at thas late hour
would have "appreciable efTect upon
the outcome of the surtax fight."
"I rather expected something of
this sort," said Mr. Dickinson.
"Of course the president's view
should be given consideration, but 1
don't think the bombshell coming at
this late hour, after the matter has
been left to drag along, will have the
expected result."
The house conferees were sum-
j moned to the White House after Rep-
resentative Mondell, of Wyoming, the
j republican leader, had laid before the
, present the present situation in the
house with respect to the surtax. The
intervention of the executive • was
sought a few hours before the time
set for the house to vot on the sen-
ate amendment.
Insist on 50 Per Cent.
The visit of Representative Mon-
dell to the president was said to have
followed conferences between regular
j republican leaders and spokesmen for
• the "insurgents" on the imajority side
iat which the latter were understood
I to have refused to recede frorti their
demands for a 50 per dent maximum
rate. .
Both the leaders of the "insurg-
ents" ahd the democrats had claimed
there was a majority in the house for
the adoption of the senate amend-
ment.
The president's biews as set forth
in the letter to Representative Ford-
ney will be presented to the house
later in the day when the senate am-
endment is taken up under a rule
calling for a straight*out vote on the
fifty per cent imaximum.
