Of what was done here much must await the test of time and experience,' but in two directions the achievement was cleared and seems certain to endure. By a political treaty it has cleared up the situation in the western Pacific, so far as it effects the United States, Great Britain and Japan. By a naval treaty we have abolished competition and limited naval strength as between these three nations for a period of fifteen years. The fact that France signed the Pacific treaty and France and Italy the naval agreement does not have equal significance, although tooth circumstances are of a certain value. What is most important is that the three great naval ipoweiis have larranged their political Interests and regulated their naval programs in such fashion that the possibility of war is removed and the expense of competitive building abolished. Successful in dealing with American questions, the Washington conference has only partially succeeded in matters affecting the mainland of Asia and has frankly and undeniably failed wherever issues raised here, were related to present ' European problems as yet unsettled and differencedT b tween - European countries which remain acute.- In the case of China the Washing, ton conference (obtained substantial advantages in the matter of Shantung although not quite an unconditional Japanese surrender. It adopted a dumber of interesting resolutions, which, if faithfully translated into ac- tion, will have great benefit for the! Ohinese; but it did not and could notj persuade Japan to retire from Man-- i thuria lor in any complete fashion reease China from its grasp, and the same was equally true in the matter f Siberia. j Diplomatically speaking, the greats rnccess has been Japanese. In return lor very moderate sacrifices In the natter of Shantung sacrifices which, ad heed already forecast, even to Mr. Wilson in Paris Japan1 etains, subject only to formal protest y the United States, her position both) n Siberia and Manchuria. 7 In return for an agreement not :o ortify further some Islands which arer inlmpqrtant and others which are already securely fortified, she has from the United States pledges if nonfortification which make It y for the United tSatfes to its fleet In a military fashion the Hawaiian Islands. e For the alliance, vhlch was no longer of value, Japan las obtained a four-powtreaty ahich adds greatly to her prestige as i world power, Insures her against attack or challenge from the United Rates and leaves her with hands free o deal with both China and Siberia as the muy hereafter choose. Save as the United States might ally itself with Britain and make use of British naval uses, there would be in the future no ray tocf American intervention in the Anglo-Japanes- e.

All the powers of the federal government will be exercised to probe the Knickerbocker theatre catastrophe, which cost the lives of many a few days ago, It was learned Tuesday at the department ef justice. If the investigation shows faulty or cheap construction and lax building Inspection methods, those responsible will be charged with criminal negligence and relentlessly prosecuted. Attorney General Daugherty has determined. Congress, the executive departments and the district government have joined in comprehensive inquiry Into every phase of the disaster. . ' Police Tuesday claimed that a careful checkup had decreased the death list to ninety-fivthat several errors and duplications had been discovered. Sixty-tw- o Of the 144 injured still are In the hospitals. Six of the best army and navy construction engineers will Investigate the construction of the theatre for the departmen of justice. Reports are current that concrete In the walls and roof was in a crumbly, state and that reinforcements were lacking. The report of the army-nav- y experts will be placed before a federal grand jury here, which already has started an Investigation of the case. A coroners jury has been impaneled and will start its Inquiry within a few days.' Local building inspectors have made preliminary .tests. The prevailing opinion of engineers, such as Colonel Charles Keller, district commissioner, IS that the weight of the snow on the roof would not have caused the roof to cave in with deadty-effec- t if . there had not been some fundamental defect In construction, j Meanwhile the senate was expected to adopt a resolution of Senator Cap. per, Kansas, which calls for an inquiry by the senate dlstriot committee particularly Into reports that a ring of profiteering contractors, in league with local building inspectors, has been putting up cheap and dangerous buildings here. The demand for a complete Investigation is most Insistent over the stunned and saddened city which Tuesday burled ten of the dead. Meanwhile the work of razing the remaining walls of the theatre has started. The work is progressing slowly because of the danger of a collapse, which would bury workmen.

British success has- - lain in two In exchanging the alliance for. the reaty, which to all British minds is t symbol of close association In the ,uture between the two great Engiisli-ipeakln- g nations in the world, and in iddition Britain has avoided a naval jompetition with the United States vhich promised either bankruptcy or iltimate resignation of supremacy up-t- ti the blue waters which Britain has . . rnled so long. t Anglo-Jap-me- four-pow- er mm-lste- Was Passenger on First 8hlp.

He explained he had drawn $1000 from the bank and given It to two men he met In Pershing square as surety that he would act in good faith In helping them give $300,-90- 0 to the poor. They took the $1000, he said, and left him the sack. - Automobiles Selling for One Cent Davenport, la.

Cardinal Achilla Rattl, archbishop of Milan, was proclaimed elected pope In succession to the late Benedict XV Monday morning. He has taken the name of $lus XI. The thousands waiting In front of St Peters for the wisp of smoke which wpiuld tell of the election of a new pope or the failure of the sacred college to reach a dicision, gave a mighty shout at 11:33 oclock when a thin wisp of smoke came from the chimney leading from the Slstlne dhapel. It was then known that the Catholic church had once more a duly elected pontiff. s As sdon as the vote for Cardinal BJatti. had been vertifled'. Cardinal Vannutelli, as dean of the sacred college, arose and proceeded to the throne of the chosen one, accompanied on either side by Cardinals Logue and Bisleti, respectively deans of the cardinal priests and the cardinal deacons. He was asked in Latin by Cardinal Vannutelli, in accordance with custom, if he accepted the election to be supreme pontiff, and the new pope answered with the formal Since it is the will of God, I must two-third- e, em-ilo- lilng9. - WASHINGTON THEATRE WRECK TO BE PROBED BY, FED.

In a ispeech that Rathenau had obtained 40 pep cen reduction In the reparations obllga tlons imposed at Versailles. For a long time I have been saying that the reduction amounted to abou SO per cent This time, however, it li not a Frenchman taking but a Ger man in high authority. This reduction simply means thai the French taxpayer must pay whai the Germans avoid. The Gennai press chooses this moment to accus France of crucifying Germany, a re mark which does not need comment The approaching elections in Eng land bring Internal politics to the for in that country, with unfortunate et fects upon the foreign policy. Davie Lloyd George seeks a platform whict will enable him to get a majority similar to the one In 1918. His plat, form then was hang the kalsSfr and make Germany pay to the uttermost farthing. Let me merely observe that If Lloyc George is as faithless to the new Europe as he was to the old, it may b a long time before the recontructloi iq accomplished. Moreover, without naming him, Lloyd George has made a sharp speech against Premier Poincaire. There h no doubt that M. Polncaires personality arouses in England, especially in downing street, mixed setiments. In 1920 Lloyd George complained against Poincaire, then the head of the repar-ationcommission, conducting an antiallied campaign in reviews ano newspapers. Again he officially protested, in October, 1921, against Poin. caires publishing of secret peace do uments. There is no confidence ot sympathy between Poincaire and Lloyd George. Their controversy at to the relative merits of the modern conference as against the old diplomacy Is not particularly interesting, since It concerns only the former, But the controversy foreshadows disquieting disagreement about essen. tials. When Premier Poincaire asked Ditto take a portfolio In his cabinet, J told ' him that, while I approved his purposes, I did not think he could achieve them, because of his controversial activities for the last two anu a half years. This alluded not only to the fact that he constantly approv. ed the acts of Premiers Millerand and Briand, whom he now combats, but also to his personal situation relative to British circles. What is happening now confirms my fears. As to American opinion, It seems hard to follow. The American presi urges France not to abstain from the effort for world solidarity represented by the Genoa conference, but appui. entlv the American government will refuse to participate in the same - s of salaries . A general readjustment of state employees will toe found in the pay checks for January. The list has been the subject of several conferences and of much discussion. Landholders under drainage district No. 4, comprising about 8000 acres of . and between ilpanlsh Fork and Pay-so- n, met with the county commissioners in a session at which they petitioned the boara to dissolve the district At the minting It was pointed out that a large amount of the land does not warrant the heavy expense of the project. Pleas of not guilty were entered by This is more than twice the number of the bakers of Salt Lake are charged with formining a combination to control bread prices. After entering the pleas attorneys representing the various bakeries indicated that they would seek separate trials and hearings, each claiming that the bakery he represented was differently situated than the others in the cases. The city commission of Salt Lake took under advisement a request from William H. Bywater, chief of the fire department, asking for the passage of an ordinance abolishing shingle roofs. More than of the fires during the last year were caused from spvks alighting on shingle roofs, the fire chief said in a communication to the commissioners. one-four- th .
