BRADFORD | WASHINGTON, June 4.—Vital In terests of the United States are/ bound up in the deliberations to be gin this month in London at the con: ference of the heads of the British | dominions with Premier Lioyd Gorge, | high officials of this government be- lieved today. Outside of the strictly American | interest involved, it is also believed the future of the whole world will| be affected in some degree by the de liberations and decision of the im- perial conference, | The questions affecting vital Amer ican interests which are expected to [come up at the imperial conference jare: 1. Whether the AngioJapanese al- Nance, a defensive pact to ruarantee the interests of Great Britain and apan in the Far Esat, obligating both nations to come to the aid of each other in case of a conflict be tween one of these contracting | parties and a third power, is to be lrenewed before it automatically ex |pires July 13 next. | 3. Whether a major British fleet lis to be created in the Pacific for | the benefit of such of the dominions as Australia, New Zealand and Can- lada. “At present Great Britain only | maintains a battle cruiser squadron in the Pacific. fHE SEATTLE “It’s All Bunk,” Says LONDON MEET) University Man Who Breaks Ps BY MINNIE NELSON “Forget me, it's all bunk, stuff the newspapers are printin, I've done nothing wonderful,” was the plea late last night of Michael John Nolan, 43-year-old federal board student at the University of Wash- ington, declared by Instructor Wil Maan R. Wilson of the psychology de partment to have one of the 50 most driillant minds in the United States. Nolan recently astounded the uni versity psychology department, who gave him the army Alpha intelligence test, by making 212, a perfect score, & feat unequaled, so far as university psychologists know, by any of the severad million men who took the test during the war. Moreover, of the 17 minutes of working time al- lowed in the test, he used only 13 to upset the record. The best previous record was 2 made by a Yale pro- fessor while an army officer, The highest score made previously by @ university student was 206. The average college student scores about 134 and the average soldier about 65. COULD GET DOCTOR'S D REE IN THREE MONTHS “If Alpha had been made enough harder,” declared Instructor Wilson, “Nolan could have approached 200. The Alpha test is the regular army test used to pick officer material, It tests the power of sustained thought probably more than speed. In other tests given Nolan he has done quite 3. The broad question of policy as to whether there can be any under |standing or “working entente” be tween the United Statés and Great Britain to police the waters of the world, Great Britain to take care of the Atlantic ocean with the British Atlantic fleet and America the Pa- cifle with the new fleet proposed to be constituted on that coast. 4. Disarmament: Great Britain must first consult her dominions be fore she can announce her policy toward this question, it is believed. Committee Reports Favorably on Bil WASHINGTON, June 4.—-The sen ate agricultural committee today ordered a favorable report on the Norris packer control bill as a sub stitute for the Haugen bill, which has passed the house. The Norris bill provides for a live stock commissioner, while the house measure places the livestock indus: try under the secretary of agricul- ture. Next to k. C. Smith Bidg.

Glee Club Members in a Rare Musical Dish as phenomenally, He could do the work for a doctor's degree in three months if he exerted himself.” He passed perfectly an information test of 60 questions in one minute and ten seconds. The test included the meanings of such words as the fol lowing: Agertum, architrave, cham- fer, cleistogumous, Elohim, gambit, guimpe, intaglio, metacarpal, mitosis, nada, pomology, Rococo and Simony. Nolan was the only man to know the meaning of the word guimpe, and when asked how he knew he replied simply, “Store windows.” Nolan has no fads as to studying, saying that he believes one time is as good as another, altho he does be- lieve that it ts better to read an artl- cle quickly six times than once slowly. Members of the psychology depart- ment agree that Nolan's success is not due merely to a wonderful mem- ory. Nolan believes that his memory, altho tenacious, works rather slowly. For example, he says that recently in memorizing Childe Harold's “Ptl- gtimage” he was one of the last ones in the class to complete the two stan sas assigned. His remarkable ability to reason is shown in his aptitude for mathematics and the excellent work he has done in differential cal- culus. Nolan here again denies that his ability is remarkable, saying that his work in addition and subtraction needs to be checked, altho he can multtply and dtvide more accurately. Nolan recently pointed out to a member of the philosophy depart- ante! yych Record ment a fallacy concerning the measurement of space made by Ray- mond Poincare, great French mathe: matician, and quoted as fact by A. 8. Edington, prominent English mathematician, in his book on Bin- mite ‘a theory Nolan was able to answer all but four of the questions in Edison's Intelligence exam and considera the list pretty good. “ie believes that a student in engineering should be able to answer at least 50 per cent of the questions, admitting that those en rolled in liberal arts would have much greater difficulty, Nolan was born in Wexford, Ire- land, where he received nine years’ training in the elementary and high schools. Afterwards, at the age of 16, he left for the United States, where he became a citizen, During the Spanish-American war he served in the regular army, subsequently working at railroad construction and Umber cruising until his enlistment in the world war, SERVED TWO YEARS IN CAD DIAN FORCES orving under the Canadian and British forces for two yea Nolan was assigned to the engineering corps and for eight months did sur. veying in France and England. Later he did aerodrome, defense and rail road work. It was while tunnelling under the trenches that Nolan received the in- juries that have impaired his health Altho he has no organic injuries, Nolan is still suffering from shell shock.» Nolan talks reluctantly of his part in the war, saying this “war stuff gives him a pain and war is just a dirty business.” Discharged from the hospital in September, 1919, Nolan, inspired by the engineers he had seen at work in Europe, asked for vocational training and secured it. He entered the University of Washington Jan uary 2, 1920, and by February 2 had acquired freshman standing. In the 16 months that have intervened No: lan has made 165 credits, or over twice as much as the average stu dent receives in a like period of time. Nolan is a typical Irishman ant speaks in @ rich brogue. His com plexion is ruddy and he wears a black mustache. He is a fine phys ical specimen, with a chest like a barrel. When given his physical ex amination the physician marveled at his powerful physique, declaring it one in thousands, His own test to determine his physical condition ix to crush a Brazil nut to a pulp in his left band. As to his future Nolan fs laying no definite plans, It all depends upon his ability to continue his train ing and his health, he says. He is, to use his own expression, “et up with civil engineering,” and hopes to do practical work along that line. Nolan is @ member of the Ameri can Legion. Girl Reporter Is First in City to See Mr. Mahoney BY MARGERY LINDSAY I saw James ©. Mahoney this morning. Afterwards 1 was told that I was the first reporter in the city te see him since his imprison. ment in the city jail It happened purely by accident. I am a coed in the school of journalism at the Uni- versity of Washington, and I was assigned to the police court as my beat for the University edition of ‘The Star. The men in the court thought I should be taken for a visit thru the police station, So I saw Mahoney. He was sitting in his cef, a bright square room with two bunks. His | partially bald head, fringed with red brown hair, attracted my attention. | His face is round and his eyes a faded blue. He was sitting on the edge of a bunk In his shirt sleeves, with his head resting on his hands. His navy blue sult coat was thrown carelessly on the bunk across from him. He appeared matiafied and/ quiet, looking up now and then, as if entirely obvious to a stranger's presence, “He is one of our best inmates. He never asks for anything or com- plains about his situation,” said Sergeant G. E. McKnight. Mahoney FEDERAL BOARD HAS PAYROLL OF $22,000 MONTHLY A monthly payroll of approxi- mately $22,000 is maintained by athe federal board for vecational training for 210 disabled war vet erans at the University of Wash- ington, This money is apportioned at the rate of $100 for single and $135 for married men, with added provision for dependents, ‘The ages of the trainees range from 19 to 56 years, is off by himself with no other pris- oners around. No one is allowed to talk to him. His food is good. Today he had corn beef and cabbage for dinner at noon. And for dessert, a good old fashioned apple pie with a demi. tasse. If Mahoney were working, such as some of the prisoners are doing, he would be given sugar in his coffee, but the sweets only go to those that work. ‘There were very few people in the Jail, as this is the slow time for “business,” but on chilly nights the bunks in a clean, narrow room are all filled with men who have no place to go. Here they may have @ shower and a warm place to sleep. Bureau of Missing - Relatives or h to help in reuniting those who have been separated.
