For th present Japan not make any formal move for will ex- change of ratifications between herself, the United States and Great Britain of the naval limitations treaty signed at the Washington conference. The foreign office points out that should the suggeston for ths plan be adopted and ratfications exchanged between the three principal signatories without waiting for formal approval by France and Italy, it would necessitate amendment of the pact, which it is explained here, would be a serious matter. Japan for the moment is resting on 3ier oars, having ratified all the Washington agreements, and she is waiting lor Fresident Harding to fix a date for exchange of ratifications. The admiralty, however, is likely to press the cabinet to obtain early consum-mato- n of the treaties for financial reasons. Since receipt of the Associated Press dispatch from Washington to the effect that the administration there would give serious consideration to any request for triple ratification, the vernacular press has adopted a similar attitude and is pointing out that the delay is subjecting Japan to heavy expense in maintaining ships which are destined for the scrap heap, besides, postponing her plan j for gen" - . - ' - , eral retrenchment." ALLIES ADJOURN EARLY SESSION No Agreement Between French and British Premier Tendon. The allied premiers who have been discussing the German reparations question here since last Monday adjourned Monday without reaching any agreement or making arrangements for another meeting. Premier Poincaire of France and Mr. Lloyd George, the British prime minister were as far apart as ever in their views of the situation when the heads of the various delegations met. They separated after a discussion of f hours without findtwo and ing common ground. French officials at 'that time said they thought an agreement was impossible and that the conference would dissolve without having reached .an understanding. The French and British premiers parted with the intention of reflecting on the situation until Tuesday. Each appeared reluctant to break up the 'conference, but neither was inclined to yield. one-hal- A TWENTY-EIGH- T THOUSAND SACK , VUMEU COUPLE MILES WE HAD" FOR OUft lb WESTERN LINES MAIl-A- NP WESTERN PACIFIC AND PACIFIC SERIOUSLY DICAPPED New Figures Are Furnished on Casualties Through Hongkong Chamber of Commmerce; v Heap of Ruin Five Die" From Eating Cake arsenic murder Viscount Northcliffe Is Dead Pittsburg.

From All Part of ARE HIT BY STRIKE NOW Mexico Pithy News Notes HIKE ARE REPORTED TO HAVE L08T LIVES IN CHINESE STORM - Swa-toHongkong. Typhoon-strickea mangled and miserable caricature of the port of a week ago, doggedly goes about the first ghastly task that falls to the survivors of the storm burial of the dead. Bodies of 28,000 have been recovered, a death toll that triples former estimates and cuts in half the former population of the native city. These figures were given in a circular issued by the Swatow .chamber of commerce from its branch in Hongkong. Bude coffins have been hammered together with lumber salvaged from the wreck of the city. But these cannot be knocked together fast enough to dispose of bodies which are a sanitary menace to the health of the living. Gunnysacks and mattress bags have been made into crude shrouds. Graves are hurriedly dug in the alluvial flats on which the port was built, that bodies may be interred as they are recovered from the wreckage. Shortage of food may prove another menace. British in Hongkong already have sent $10,000 for relief to the British consul at Swatow. Rice is being shipped from the British colony to the typhoon survivors. The Swatow Municipality Charitable association has organized a relief fund to which subscriptions are being sought Benevolent societies in Hongkong are uniting in relief measures for the sufferers. Other cities in China are expected to heed the plea of stricken Swatow, , , , t Bandits making grim capital of the citys disaster are reported to have raided homes and robbed pedestrians in the native section. Ghouls sought to loot the dead but were promptly stopped by native police. Swatow is a heap of ruins. The tital wave which swept the road along the harbor while the storm was at its height completed the devastation which the storm starred. Water front buildings, crumpled before the assault of the water, lie in tangled nondescript piles. Three steamers caught in the storm were piled on the benach. Smaller craft, demolished when they sought shelter in Swatow harbor, added to the tangle on the water front that swirls with the tide. NUMBER 4.1 UTAH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19. 1922. R member WAY ' t SJLf . San Francisco. The Atchison, Topeka and- Santa Fe lines continues the worst sufferers in the matter of marooned trains as a result of the walkouts of transportation brotherhood men which have tied up one transcontinental line and two lines running from Salt Lake City to the Pacific coast. The' Santa Fe lines had nineteen trains held up, the Western Pacific one and the Union Pacific nine. This does not include trains cancelled before their departure from terminals or emptied of passengers and annulled at points along the line. The Western Pacific's one train was at Stockton, Calif., and most of those aboard had returned the comparatively short distance to San Francisco or had gone on to their destinations by other routes, railroad officials said. All traffic on this line has been Indefinitely suspended. The six trains held up at Las Vegas, Xev., and other points on the Union Pacific's line across the desert from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles Saturday were run Into terminals Sunday through special arrangement between the brotherhood men and the railroad, to save the passengers from suffering. Of the Santa Fes trains, six were at Albuquerque, N. M., and had about 1000 passengers aboard. Others were at Seligman, Williams and Ash Fork, Ariz. The number of passengers at each-was- :' Seligman, 297;- Williams, 188 ; Ash Fork, 236. The railroad is feeding these passengers at its eating houses. Thirty brotherhood men, members of the night switching crew at Roseville, Calif., walked out shortly after starting their shift, the Southern Pacific lines announced here Sunday. It may be necessary to declare an embargo on fruit shipments if the walkout spreads, railroad officials said. Roseville is the icing point for all Pacific fruit cars. Without switching crews, fruit cars cannot be iced at that place, and all shipments east through Oregon and Utah may be Indefinitely suspended, it was said. This town virtually is the neck of the bottle for traffic bound east by way of Ogden. One report had it that the walkout was attended by ringing of bells throughout the town and that crowds gathered In the streets as though for a celebration. The Southern Pacific only Saturday night lifted one embargo on perishable freight to and from the Ogden gateway. ' - STRIKERS OBJECT; SANTA FE MEN .s.

Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers declared at Cleveland that the walkout of trainmen on the E.

I am telling them that wherever their lives are endangered by guards they should go home and stay there. Troops remained on guard in Joliet and the E. J. & E., outer belt line of the Chicago district was tied np in a traffic knot by the suspension of work by the trainmen. Disorders in connection with the strike as important developments approached were few and widely scattered." An explanation by S. M. Felton, chairman of the western committee on public relations of the Association of railway executives, of the railroad view of President Hardings proposals and the position of leaders of the shopmens strike, made public, said that a large majority of the public had been misled regarding the stand of union leaders and that there is considerable confusion over the presi dents proposal with respect to the senioity questions. With respect to seniority, there still seems to be confusion in many peoples minds as to exactly what the president originally proposed. .He proposed simply that the employees who struck be taken back with the same seniority rights that they had before they struck. This meant that strikers who formerly had seniority over employees who stayed at work would recover their seniority over these men and that they would be given seniority over all new men who have been employed since the strike began. This would mean that practically every employee who was low on the seniority list and stayed at work, would be put back in his former position on the seniority list where he would be given , regular employment San Francisco. Paralysis of the entire western territory of the Sante Fe system was the prospect facing officials of that railway Friday as a result of the sudden walkout Thursday of members of the big four brotherhoods, the engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen, on several far wescern divisions. The union men explained jjiat their .action was taken 'ask protest against armed guards on railway property and against the alleged condition of certain equipment. Members of the brotherhoods said they would no longer move trains through points where armed guards were stationed, Several passenger trains, Including the eastbound California limited, deserted by their crews, were stalled at points in Arizona or southeastern California. Some were stranded in scorehingly hot desert spots. A wrecking crew was assigned to remove a locomotive which had been run into a turn table pit at San Bernardino, blocking entrance to the round Bouse. At Los Angeles, it was said that further conferences were possible between brotherhood reprsentatives and officials of the Santa Fe. After word reached Los Angeles of trains being held up at Needles, Barstow and Bakersfield, Calif., I. L. general manager of the Sante Fe coast lines, whose trains were affected by this sudden sequel to the shopmen's strike, met general chairman of the conductors, firemen, engineers, trainmen and the joint association of engineers and trainmen in conference. At its conclusion Mr. Hibbard stated that unless conditions were changed, Santa Fe officials would advise passengers not to take trains likely to be held up. Brotherhood repre3en-tatixe- s indicated there was little they could do until they had communicated with their executives in the east and had learned the exact situation at western railway points affected. Mr. Hibbard said he had told brotherhood officials that if they would promise there would be no disorders, such as had been reported from Needles, the Sante Fe would remove its armed guards from company property.

W. Irving third assistant postmaster general, replied Sunday to criticisms reported in some quarters to the proposed changes in designs of postage stamps which the postmaster general now has under Mr. Glover in a forconsideration. mal statement said the new impression seems to prevail that the new issue of stamps was proposed because of a desire of stamp collectors for new designs, when, on the contrary, changes were under consideration in the designs entirely because the best interests of the service warrant it. Chicago Has Plenty of Food A survey of the food situation in Chicago shows that with the exception of milk, vegetables and fruit, listed as perishable commodities, the city is in no immediate danger of a food shortage in the event of a 'railroad tieup. At the same time Russell J. Poole, , secretary of the council committee on living costs, issued a statement to the effect that Chicago was well stocked with foods, declaring that any attempts to raise prices, should the strike materialize, would be plain profiteering. .Chicago. Engines and Round House Burn Portland, Maine. 'Fifteen locomotives of the Maine Central, Boston & Maine, and Portland Terminal company, and a roundhouse were destroyed in a fire here Sunday. The damage was estimated at $1,000,000. The police said they suspected incendiarism. Just before the fire was discovered by deputy sheriffs on guard two explosions were heard. Salt Lake. Adverse effects of the lailroad situation are beginning to make themselves felt in the state road situation with particular reference to the two big jobs of construction work now under way in Carbon and Juab counties, respectively. Heretofoi e the supplies of sand and gravel for the cement surfacing, which are being imported into both counties fiom Salt Lake county, and chiefly from the state gravel pit at Mount, have been kept moving, and thirteen more cars of these aggregates on the way. However, greater difficulty has been experienced in the shipment of cement, the greater portion of the supply of which comes through Ogden from the Ogden and Union Portland cement plants at Baker and Devils Slide, respectively. Efforts were being made to obtain cement from the Utah Portland Cement companys plant in Salt Lake. This plant furnishes about 23 per cent of the supply.
