BRYAN DEFINES J. s. POSITION
 IN THE FAR EAST
This Government Has No Thought of Surrendering
 Any Treaty. Rights.

Washington, May 6.-Secretary Bryan tonight issued the following statement on the position of the United States toward the pending negotiations between Japan and China:
 ''En order that there may be no mis- understanding of the position of the United States in reference to the ne- gotations cending between Japan and China, the following announce ment is made:
 "At the beginning of negotiations; the Japanese government confidenti- ally informed this government of the matters which were under discussion, and accompanied the information with the assurance that Japan had no intention of interfering with either the political independence or territorial integrity of China, and that nothing that she proposed would discriminate against other. powers having treaties with China. or inter- fere with the "open door" policy tel which all the leading nations are committed.
 "This government has not only had no thought of surrendering any of it's treaty rights with China, but it has never been asked by either Japan or China to make any surrender of the rights. There is no abatement of it's interest in the welfare and progress of China, and Its sole interest in the present negotiations is that they may be concluded in a manner satisfac- tory to both nations, and that the terms of the agreement will not only contribute to the prosperity of both Of these great Oriental empires, but maintain that cordial relationship so essential to the future of both and to the peace of the world"

THE HAND BRAKE
 IS NOT LAWFUL
Federal Court of Appeals Holds Dangerous Appli
 ance Has Been OutlaWed.

Washington, May 6.-Experts of the interstate commerce commission say the decision of the United States cir cult court at Richmond, Va, on hand brakes, is the most important in years
 The court of appeals at Richmond affirmed decision of the district court, construing the safety appliance act so as to make it unlawful for a railroad to require brakemen to use common hand brakes to control the speed of trains.
 If supported by the supreme court, say the experts. it will result in cut ting down accidents now laid to the hand brake, which last year killed 5S6 men and injured 10,536. It may force railroads, especially on heavy grades, to cut down the length of their trains

Three Men Dropped from Department Roll Last
 Night by Chief Stewart.
CITY HASN'T CASH
 TO PAY THE MEN
Reduction Of Force Made Necessary Because Police Court Caisir Reyp. nues Are Insufficient tO Meet
 $10O Payroll.

Effective at o'clock last night, the Pine Bluff police department was re- duced by the letting out of three men, which makes the present organization of the department remain as follows
 Chief of Police Frank Stewart in charge, Even Parnel as outside man and C. c. Culpepper as inside man, during the day time.
 Assistant Chief of Police w. D. Fiveash, in charge, George Graves as outside man and Pat Henry as inside man, at night.
 Depot Policemen Boyd and Meeks remain on duty, in the daytime and at night. respectively, as heretofore.
 The three men let out are Desk Sergeants w. H. Westbrook and Pat Francis, and Roundsman Rube Miller
 Heretofore, the police department has been formed as follows:
 Chief Stewart, Officer Parnell a depot officer and beat man, on duty in the day time, with a desk SCI geant in the office
 Assistant Chief Fiveash, depot officer, a beat man, two roundsmen and desk sergeant at night
 The reduction in force, therefore means that Pine Bluff now has two night roundsmen less, while the day force is also reduced by beat man E Under the new organization, the in- side man is expected to give more aid to outside work than has been ren- dered by the desk sergeant in the past.
 It is expected that under the reor- ganization, the salaries of the mem- bers of the department will be paid each month, the receipts in the past being barely enough to meet the pay roll with prospects of reduction in receipts in the near future.
 Change Is Startling.
 Only a very few persons knew such "a radical change in the makeup oi the police department was being con- sidered by the authorities. and the announcement, when it was made at z o'clock last night, to the members of the department, came as shock. It was a shock also to those Pine Bluffians who learned of it during the night
 "There was nothing else we could do," said Chief Frank Stewart last night. eff necessary, the department will be still further reduced. It is not impossible the police department will yet be reduced so. that it will con- sist of day marshal and night mar shal only. Time alone can tell"

 The change in the makeup or the department was caused by financial conditions only, it was stated last night. It was arranged some time ago that the police would receive the.r salaries in cash, if the cash receipts of the department were sufficient in amount. During April. the cash re- ceipts of the police department topped the payroll by just $20. The two months immediately preceding. how

NEGRO MAID SAYS CARAVAN ATTORNEY
 OFFERED BRLbE
Accused Woman Weakens as Prosecutor Brings Out
 Damaging Testimony.

Mlnecla, \. Y., May 6.-Mrs. Flor ence Conkln Carman, the Freeport woman accused of murdering Mrs. Louise D. Bailey last June, began her defense today under gloomy circum- stances. It was the worst day she has experienced either in this, her second trial, or her first last October.
 She started forth to establish her innocence under terrific fire. She saw her loyal relatives shrink and become confused by District Attorney Smiths cross questining. She heard the diffident Celia Coleman, the negro maid Tn her home when Mrs. Bailey was killed, say that the detec- tive hired by her attorney offered $500 of Mrs. Carman's money if she, Celia, would repudiate her story of accusation and alleged confession.
 She sat in an. unlovely daZe, while the negro girls cousin, George Toomer, told of overhearing the bribe offer and of hearing from Celia's own lips on July 2-two days after the murder-the same story that Celi3 told at the first trial and again on Wednesday.
 she, paled and became ashen when Smith grew more savage as he cross examined the witnesses produced by her chief counsel. George Morton Levy. Unlike Smith. Levy produced nothing new. He called the accused wcman's mother, father, sister, little daughter, niece and nephew, but the sum total cf their testimony was oi the alibi variety.
 Dr, and Mrs. Carman will take the stand tomorrow.
