CHIEF PROBLEHI AT !EI ABOLITION OF EXTRA TERRITO RIAL RIGHTS IN CHINA IS TACITLY AGREED TO. ro CUT OUT FOREIGN COURTS FEAR VETO POWER OF VINO Th» British Govsrnm«nt Regards This Difficulty as Fundamental, It la Asaarted by High Authorltiea. Senator Lodge of the American Dele gation to Present the Principe In the Form of a Resolution. Washington. —• Abolition of extra territorial rights in China, by which various powers maintain their own courts for trial of their own nationals, was agreed to in principle by the powdirs represented in the Washington coaference on Pacific and Far Eastern affairs. The Chinese delegation presented to the committee a statement strongly arglng the abolishment of the extra territorial rights and sympathetic re sponses were said to have been voiced by the representatives of the other powers. Belief was generally expressed, how- ever, that the rights could not be given up immediately in view of con ditions, but that the abolition should come as promptly as compatible with the present situation and progress of China. The committee, upon reachlnc the general agreement, authorized the ap pointment of a sub-committee headed by Senator I>odge. of the American delegation, to present the principle In the concrete form of a resolution The sub-committee also will work oat the details of the surrender bv the powers of their rights Thts'task will Include the consideration of a ■amber of treaties and for that, reason the time required for Its accomplish meet was problematical London.—The negotiations for an Irish settlement are feared to be near ing an unfavorable end, according to a high authority und there is appre hension that next week may witness their collapse unless more favorable circumstances, not now forseen, shall develop. It Is stated that Ulster is no longer presenting the sole obstacle, but that the Sinn Fein has refused to accept allegiance to the King, although wil ling to take the oath to an Irish con stitution. Furthermore, and equally-jroportant, It is added, the Sinn Fein will not agree to a veto of Irish legislation by the British crown. ’ * The Sinn Fein idea is said to be a completely independent Irish state, although loosely connected with the other states in the empire. Acts of j parliament creating British dominions : give the King the power of vetoing all legislation, but, by constitutional usage, this veto is now never exer cised. The Sinn Fein, however, is declared to have made known Its be lief that a similar veto power regard ing Ireland would constantly be used at the will of the British cabinet. The government regards this diffi culty as fundamental. It is asserted. PRESIDENT GOES TO CAPITOL AND SIGNS BILLS PASSED DURING CLOSING HOURS.

Washington.—The first, and special, session of the sixty-seventh Congress ended after President Harding had visited the capitbl and signed meas ures enacted in the closing hour-:;. The house. was the first to close up shop, adjourning sine die at 4:01, and at 4:37 o'clock the senate quit. Chief among the measures signed by Mr. Harding were the tax revision and maternity bills. After finally disposing of the tax bill, the senate turned to clean up some five hundred odd presidential nominations. But It did not complete the job. Nearly half of the number were left to die under the law. Most of those upon which no action was taken were minor postmastership appoint ments. It was understood that at tempts. to put through the last minute negotiations had been blocked largely through charges of several senators that an effort was being made to “rail road'* the appointments. Meanwhile, the house was marking time, awaiting announcement that the President had signed the tax and ma ternity bills and had no other commu nications and when so Informed ad journed. Washington.—The purchase of an Island in the Bahama group 45 miles off the Florida coast by a group ol American capitalists who propose to transform It into a great liquor and gambling resort is reported here. The Island is known as the Grand Bahama. It Is the largest and most northern island in the group, , being 70 miles long and four miles in aver age width. It has been a British colo nial possession. Upon this newly acquired territory, far removed from the prohibition laws of any country, the purchasers plan to erect establishments for the manufacture and sale of intoxi cants of all kinds, to create a gamb ling resort outrlvalling Monte Carlo itself, and to build race tracks where unrestricted racing .will be held, a stadium for prize fighters, together with sumptuous hotels and all other j conveniences for the comfort and entertainment of their patrons. Four large steamships, each ac commodating 1,500 passengers, are fo ply between Palm Beach and the islcnd, according to the plans of the promoters, and especially built aero planes also are to be provided to con vey patrons from the mainland.
