It was explained that there; will be a full and free discussion of this very point as soon as the committee of naval experts have reached conclusions on the various subjects submitted to them. It can be stated that the Ameri- can delegation is absolutely op. posed to the arming of merchant vessels If the second and third ftoot resolutions now under dis- < usston are adopted. So far as the American government is concerned it is anxious that ruthless subma¬ rine warfare shall be outlawed for all time and that It shall be agreed that hereafter no submarine will be permitted to be used as commerce d<y>troyer*. Delegation headquarter* said last night that the various subjects af¬ fecting China, the Pacific and the Par East will be reached by the middle of next week. It is expected that Messrs. Hughes and Balfour will arrange a settlement of the Shantung problem through media¬ tion. While both the Chinee and Japanese delegations have foaisted that they will make no concessions. American and British circles feel thaf there must be a way tut and that it is certain to be fount* by the leaders of the two principal delegations- Meanwhile there will be very little discussion of conference prob¬ lems over the holiday. The com¬ mittee on draft is working out the detailed language of the treaty on n*ral limitation. *fhe expert com¬ mittee Is passing upon outstanding questions such as defining tonnage . measurements. However by the middle of next week there will be completed pro- srrams to pass upon and it seems certain last night that at least two plenary sessions can be expected during the week TRAINS STALLED UNDER EAST RIVER NEW TORK Dec. 31.Hundreds of people spent two hours under the East River this afternoon when : two Long Island Railroad trains were staMed in the tube.

To Halt Japan Charges Bandits Are Incited; To Revolt and Slaughter By Tokyo. Protest against the reported cap¬ ture of Khabarovsk and activities of Japanese troops in Chita was made'' to Secretary of State Hughes by representatives ot the Far East¬ ern republic here last night. In a letter to Secretary Hughes they declared The Russian popu¬ lation of the Far East is being slaughtered by bandits organized and incited by the Japanese mili¬ tary command." The letter stated that "reaction¬ ary bands crossed the neutral zone and captured Khabarovsk while Ja¬ panese soldiers occupied Tsltsikar, a railroad center on the Chinese eastern railroad, to establish a base from which the armed band of Sem- enov and other reactionary Rus¬ sian leaders could operate." $11,679 SUBSCRIBED FOR DISTRICT POOR ... e The Associated Charities reported last night that ten of its fourteen Christmas opportunities had beea fully subscribed, with total receipts of fll.fTt.S5.

Starr visited the office of The Washington Herald last night and In behalf of the other prisoners'at the workhouse lodged a complaint about the alleged backward meth- oda in vogue there. "Since former Superintendent Charles C. Koitor left." Starr de¬ clared. "the workhoui-e has gone to pieces as far as morale is con¬ cerned I have served nearly fif¬ teen months out of my two-year sentence, and I have been In a po¬ sition to notice a great change at the workhouse since the new man¬ agement took charge. Mr. Foster believed in trying to make a man see the light.not by force or 111 treatment, but by teaching him his duty to society and his fellow man and setting an example himself. "Ever since the new superintend¬ ent, William H. Mover. took charge." Starr declared, "the plare .as far as doing any real good to the prisoners is concerned, has gone to rack and ruin. Poor food, brutality, carelessness Indifference and abuse from guards, all help to make a prisoner worse when he goes out than when he came in. "I do not believe." Starr declared. "It is an exaggeration to say that as compared to the Foster regime, the workhouse now might Just as well be a prison of the Middle Ages, where brute fierce and ig¬ norance governed prisoners. "This business of forever damn¬ ing a man because he has gone wrong once is not at all calculated to do anybody any good. In the language of the prisoners now at the w ork house, 'the plica has gone to Hades' and probably will con¬ tinue In that direction until some¬ body higher up becomes informed and changes things. "For my part." Starr stated. "P» on the straight rofcd from now on I have had my medicine and dwa't like it a bit. But I do believe- even if I were a Jailbird.that there Is a right and wro^g way to treat a lawbreaker 4f iswbreaklng is to be stopped or at le&at kept down to a minimum."

Admiral Baron Kato. head of the Japaneae delegation, declared the confidence, even though it may fall in some of its objectives, has inaug¬ urated a forward movement which is "irresistible and triumphant." The French delegation, through Albert Sarraut, expressed the hope that the new year will usher in a "will to peace" and better under¬ standing between all peoplea Cabinet members.

Out of this' *,efory .of Beatles have sprang upall the alienations of territory, leasesspheres of influence and the acqui¬sition of monopolistic rights by for-eijrn nations in China.The Chinese argument for confer¬

PARDONED MANRAPS ABUSES ATD.C. WORKHOUSE
Former Policeman StarrSays New Regime Dif-
. ferent From Foster's.
Henry Arthur 8tarr. former po¬liceman. who wa> sent to the Dis¬trict workhouse »t Occoquaa. Va..or. October r». 1M».- to t-we
jreara on charges of embexalementwii pardoned yesterday by Presi¬dent Harding and releaaed from theinstitution.
Starr visited the office of TheWashington Herald last night andIn behalf of the other prisoners'atthe workhouse lodged a complaintabout the alleged backward meth-oda in vogue there.
"Since former SuperintendentCharles C. Koitor left." Starr de¬clared. "the workhoui-e has gone topieces as far as morale is con¬cerned I have served nearly fif¬teen months out of my two-yearsentence, and I have been In a po¬sition to notice a great change atthe workhouse since the new man¬agement took charge. Mr. Fosterbelieved in trying to make a mansee the light.not by force or 111treatment, but by teaching him hisduty to society and his fellow manand setting an example himself."Ever since the new superintend¬
ent, William H. Mover. tookcharge." Starr declared, "the plare.as far as doing any real good tothe prisoners is concerned, hasgone to rack and ruin. Poor food,brutality, carelessness Indifferenceand abuse from guards, all help tomake a prisoner worse when hegoes out than when he came in."I do not believe." Starr declared."It is an exaggeration to say thatas compared to the Foster regime,the workhouse now might Just aswell be a prison of the MiddleAges, where brute fierce and ig¬norance governed prisoners."This business of forever damn¬ing a man because he has gonewrong once is not at all calculatedto do anybody any good. In thelanguage of the prisoners now atthe w ork house, 'the plica has goneto Hades' and probably will con¬tinue In that direction until some¬body higher up becomes informedand changes things."For my part." Starr stated. "P»
on the straight rofcd from now onI have had my medicine and dwa'tlike it a bit. But I do believe-even if I were a Jailbird.thatthere Is a right and wro^g way totreat a lawbreaker 4f iswbreaklngis to be stopped or at le&at keptdown to a minimum."
