He was in his 84th year. Field Marshal Prince Aritomo Yamagata was one of the most famous soldiers and statesmen in Japan. He was one of the last of the genro, the group of elder statesmen who have been the personal advisers of the throne and he wielded special power because it was he who built up and became supreme head of the Japanese army as it is known today. He was frequently called the Japanese Moltke. Prince Yamagata was bom April 22, 1838, the son of a samurai of Choshu, and he became one of the ablest captains of the Choshu clan in resisting the invasion of the Shogunate army in 186G. He threw himself heart and soul into the great movement for the overthrow of the Shogunate which had eclipsed the power of the Mikado for so many years, and when the latter was restored to the throne, Yamagata rose rapidly through imperial favor and his re markable ability as a leader. Following a mission to Europe for the purpose of studying the French and German military systems, he was appointed vice minister of war and in that capacity succeeded in having the Prussian system of conscription, with certain modifications, adopted in Japan. Another of his incidental achievements was the abolition of the sword-wearing habit of the samurai classes. It was a difficult task and a dangerous one to combat that tradition, but he succeeded in getting an imperial edict of abolition, and was forceful enough to have it obeyed. Shortly afterward, however, the edict OPPOSITION TO WATER POWER TAX Representatives of many cotton mills and hydro-electric plants in South Carolina appeared before the senate finance committee at an open hearing yesterday afternoon in opposition to the hydro-electric water power tax. A number of speakers were against the bill in principle, claiming that it would restrain the development of industries in the state and work a hardship on South Carolina. A majority of the speakers were representatives of cotton mills, who bought power rathev-than developed it. The bill has already passed the house and is to be reported out by the senate finance committee within a day or two. It provides for onethird of a mill tax on every kilowatt hour produced from water in South Carolina. This tax, although seeming small, will mean a burden to some of the plants, it was declared. Practically all those appearing characterized the tax as wrong in principle. P. Barron Grier of Greenwood was the first speaker and he led in the after discussions before the finance committee. Among the other speakers were B. E. Geer of Greenville, W. E. Beattie of Greenville, A. F. McKissick of Greenville, Emslie Nicholson of Union, H. B. Jennings of Union, G. F. Norris of Greenville, Zach Wright of Newberry and John M. Kinard of Newberry. Among those here for the hearing in addition to the speakers were R. E. Ligon of Anderson, T. J. Charles of Conestee, James H. Morgan of Greenville, David Cardwell of Greenville, Leroy Springs of Lancaster, Bishop Isom of Spartanburg and William Pevrin of Greenville.?The State.

EFFORT BY LEWIS TO JOIN UNIONS Indianapolis, Feb. 1.?Renewal of efforts to form un alliance of coal miners and railroad workers, the two largest labor groups in the United States, was sought today by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, for the avowed purpose of bringing 2,000,000 workers together "in resistance to proposed attacks on wage scales." In letters sent to officers of 16 railroad unions, Mr. I^ewis invited the railroad men to confer with the miners' officials "at the earliest possible date." Besides the invitation, Mr. .Lewis issued a formal statement asserting that the railroad men were facing efforts "to enforce further unwarranted wage cuts on them" and that "certain interests are seeking ' wage reductions in the coal indus- try." "In order to cope with this situation and to successfully combat this frenzied hysteria," the statement added, "the mine workers are willing to pol their interests with the railroad organizations and stand with them in resistance to the prposed attacks on wage scales." At least 2,000,000 workers would be joined together bj*. the alliance, Mr. Lewis said. He placed the membership of the railroad unions at .1,500,000 to 1,750,000. GEN.

APPROVAL GIVEN TWO TREATIES j Washington, Feb. 1.?The Washing-j ton negotiations for limitation of; armament l'enched their consumma-1 tion today when a plenary session ol ; the arms conference rave definite public approval to the two treaties limit- j ing navies and restricting the use of new agencies of warfare. One of the covenants thus sealed after 11 weeks of debate establishes a fixed ratio of capital ship strength be-i tween the five great powers, and thej other pledges them against unrestrict- j ed submarine warfare and use of poi- j son gas. Within a day or two the' plenipotentiaries of the United States.) Great Britain, Japan, France and I Italy will formally affix their signatures. i, At the same session the Far Eastern wing of the conference moved for- , ward toward completion of its tasks by announcing officially the terms of the Shantung settlement and by giving final approval to nine of the resolutions adopted in committee in regard to Chinese problems. The agreement on Shnntung already has been put into a draft treaty between Japan and China and the other Far Eastern j settlements are to be embodied in at I least two general conventions which will come before the conference I shortly. As soon as Japan's intention to withdraw from Shantung had been definitely stated, the British announe1 formally for the first time that | their government was ready to hand back to China the lease hold of WeiHai-Wei. The French let it be known I A t .1. A 1 % x < 1 1 ronignt, nowever, mat rnoy expected to treat directly with China over possible retirements from their leased territory at Kwangchow Wan, a decision which appeared to cloud the prospect of any general conference -agreement regarding the Chinese leased territories. ^ Two other conference projects, ode relating to the Chinese Eastern railway and- the other to the prohibition rof importation of arms into China nliso encountered serious obstacles &J$n the committee **ork of the deleas resumed late today. The 'Japanese fnade Some* technical objections to the Chinese Eastern proposal which, coupled with Chinese and French opposition to some features, resulted in appointment of a Japan-j ese-French-Chinese subcommittee* to consider a compromise. The Italians and Japanese presented such pertinent resolution that it was virtually decided not to press it for adoption. The five power naval limitation treaty, whose text was made public for the first time with its submission to today's plenary session, contained; no surprises and was approved by the conference without general discussion. Its terns, which had been completely forecast by published accounts of the I negotiations, provide for a 5-5-3-1-6?\ 1-0 capital ship ratio for the United States, Great Britain. Japan, France and Italy, respectively, imposes various restrictions on the size and arma ment of other types of ware-raft, and establishes a fortifications "status quo" in the Pacific. In the separate submarine and poison gas treaty an attempt is made to outlaw submarines as commerce de-; stroyers and to prohibit chamical war- j fare altogether. The language of the, convention follows almost exactly the terms of the Root resolutions adopted by the armaments committee several: weeks ago. Secretary Hughes presented the naval limitation treaty to the conference, and in a speech of 10 min-i utes explained its provisions and do-' clared it preserved without vital change the American limitation proposal laid before the opening meeting of the conference by him on No-' vember 12. lie was folowed by Albert Sarraut, head of the French del-' egation, who disclaimed for his country the militaristic purposes, he said, had been attributed to it during the Washington negotiations, and then the roll of'the five powers was called and unanimous approval of the treaty given by nods of the head all around the; table.

Arbuckle, accused of i manslaughter in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe, went to the jury at 3:42 p. m. today after : a trial covering three weeks. It was 1 his second trial on the charge, the ( first having resulted in a jury disagreement. 1 Mrs. Estelle Baumeister, one of the two alternate jurors who were ex- 1 ( used when the jury retired, said thut j1 in her opinion Arbuckle is not guilty, j Henry Ottenberg, the other alternate, j declined to express an opinion, al- j though he congratulated the defense | * on its showing. j1 The defense sprung a surprise by'' announcing it would submit the case j to the jury without arguments. This 1 action so accelerated the case that j the jury was able to begin dcliberat- j ing a day earlier than had been antic-1 ipated. The announcement came at the end; of the first argument of the prosecu- j tion made by Milton T. U'Ren, as-. sistant district attorney. It had the ! effect of shutting off further argu-. ment by he prosecuion as under the | lay such further argument could. only be a rebuttal of the final defense j summing up. Arbuckle, jovial and apparently care free most of the day, was visibly nervous when the jury retired. A throng was drawn to the court i room for the final arguments and the j police guard had its hands full for, 4 1... 4*. w* 4!.?n ": 4L- i_:_l 1 1 me 11(1117 since inu cruti openeu. i Today's session saw the conclusion of the prosecution's rebuttal testimony. Three minor witnesses testified. The defense announced it would make no sur-rebuttal and U'Ren then began the sole closing argument. He attacked in detail the testimony given by Arbuckle in the first trial of the case, holding that no proper explanation had been given as to what transpired in Arbuckle's room in the Hotel St. Francis when the contedian is supposed to have fatally attacked Miss Rappe. There we? a moment of excite^ * o'clock .when the jury came bactc to the court room, not, however, to deliver the verdict as many suspected, but to have some of the testimony read to it again. UNION MAN ON THE JOB Vigilance and a keen sense of hearing on the part of J. C. Nornian, a guard at the state penitentiary, brought to naught the efforts of two white men to escape from the confines of the prison Tuesday night about midnight, and yesterday the men were safe in their cells after their attempt to make a getaway. The guard while on his rounds heard an unusual noise and on investigation it was found that nno set of hnra to the cells had been forced loose, a vise from the chair factory having been used as a lever. The outer bars of the cell had not been attacked when the guard heard the noise. The men vork in the chair factory at the state 1 prison during the day and in some! way had smuggled into their cells a \ ise used in the factory. This device was used in forcing together the inner bars of the cell. One of the men was Wade H.
