 published in dispatches from Pc
 king are being pressed on China
 by Japan as a result of the recent
 clash of Chinese and Japanese troops at Cheng Chiatung. It be- came known here tonight that the
 situation is much more serious

 of inner Mongolia.
 U. S. Alarmed
 Officials here view the develop
 ment with real anxiety, fearing another China-Japanese crisis which might involve the interests of the United States.
 The Cheng Chiatung incident. tri' vial in itself, but coming on top of the relations ever since Japan took over Kiaochow from Germany,  has been closely watched since Japan hastened to send 10000 soldiers to the disturbed district and her cabinet an nounced that a satisfactory outcome depended on China Reports from Pc king show alarm there. The prompt and unanimous acceptance of the new cabinet announced today is believed to have been result of Japanese and Chinese financial problems.

 One moment, Miss Keenan. You say that Miss Page would become sane, and then would lapse into de- particular incident-or ask you anya strange qscstions?"
 "Yes. Once she said, He acts fun ny for a man who has just put on a successful play Then suddenly she sat up and grabbed me and cried, Was 1t blood or-wns 1t just n red necktie-T saw it.

Next time she opened her eyes, she asked if knew whether James Pollock was dead or if she had dreamed 1t. and I said so far ns I knew James was about the llvest thing I'd ever bumped against in this old town. Then she sighed like kid and went to sleep, but when she woke up she seemed to know he was dead"
 Did she make any other mention of the man with the red tier"
 No. When I asked her, she said 1t was blur but 1t would come back to her--she was sure of that. Someone else would have seen 1t too"
 That is all-" began Langdon, and broke off in astonishment. There was Il commotion in the back of the room and Il man stood up, raising one hand as if about to speak. His face was ashy, his jaw dropped. Then as sud denly as he had arisen he dropped back out of siITt into his chair.

SYNOPSIS.

Mary Page, actress, is accused of the murder of James Pollock and is defended by her lover, Philip Langdon- Pollock was intoxicated. At Mary's trial she ad- mits she had the revolver. Her maid testifies that Mary threatened Pollock with it previously, and Mary's leading man duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis appeared from the scene of the crime is mystery. Brandon tells of a strange hand print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further evidence shows that horror of drink pro- duces temporary insanity in Mary. The defense is "repressed psychosis." Wit nesses describe Mary's flight from her in toxicated father and her fathers suicide. Nurse Walton describes the Kidnapping Of Mary by Pollock and Amy Barton tells of Mary's struggles to become an actress and Pollocks pursuit of her. There is evidence that Daniels, Marys manager, threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the stand and again goes insane when po- liceman offers her whisky. Daniels testi- fies that Pollock threatened to kill Mary and Langdon and actually attempted to kill the latter

IN THE ALLEY

H WITNESS room, like an ocean,
 A liner, begets strange friend
 ships in it's enforced inti- A A macy, and also has this in common with the great ships, that those who come on deck only toward the close of a stormy passage, find themselves unreasonably ostracized by their fellow passengers who have been daily sharing the excitement of the voyage. Thus the three newcomers among the witnesses in the trial of Mary Page were left sitting primly on a bench close to the door while the in- congruous but friendly group of those who had already testified stood near the window.
 The trio themselves were oddly con- glomerate-a burly man in what were obviously his best clothes, with a col lar size too small and buxom wom- an whose flushed face looked out from under a marvellous purple bonnet. Her hands were encased in very large white cotton gloves and she held back her skirts progressively from contact with the short and elaborate gown of the over-dressed, tired-looking woman whose face was pasty with powder and hard with rouge.
 All of the witnesses, for that matter, from the little bell-hop to Mrs. Page herself, surveyed this last conner with disapproval; and Amy declared sue cinctly that if "Mr. Langdon put THAT on the witness stand-it would be GOOD NIGHTr'
 Lsangdon, however, greeted her with a warmth that more than overbal- anced their chilliness, and his welcome to the other man and woman was equally enthusiastic. To him, the pres ence of these three was triumph. It meant that he had succeeded where the police had failed, and that he had still another surprise to spring upon the jury in this most astounding trial.
 Some hint of all this crept into his tone lending it new, almost boyish note, when, at the beginning of the days proceedings, he rose and said:
 "Your Honor, and Gentlemen of the Jury: Ever since the beginning of this trial one point has remained a mys- Stery. The state has admitted it's in- ability to offer evidence on this moot ed subject, and therefore I crave the indulgence of the court to digress from direct proceedings this morning, to show you where and how Mary Page spent those hours between the death

 "No." She smiled little. half whim- sically. half bitterly. Ut ain't etiquette to ask names under the circumstances. but said as it was the first time. the best thing to do was to say nothing till she had n lawyer to do the talking for her"

Cut out the water works, he says angrily, and get into this seat, unless you want the bulls to pull you in
 What did he mean by this seat ? Could you see?'
 Yes, sor. The rope that the man had let down had sort of q swing at the end of it, and he made the girl sit in that then he whistled again and the other man pulled her up and she disap- peared in a winder.''
 What did the man doT'
 "He waited till she was gone, then he went on down the street and round the corner. Then I saw Denny comin up the other way and I went to meet him, and I found he'd been watchin' too. That was why I couldn't see him when I come TO the gate"
 "That is all. thank you, Miss O'Neill," said Langdon; but the Judge leaned forward with an arresting gesture.
 And having seen all this" he said harshly, didn't you read the papers the next morning? Didn't you sec that a girl was missing, or connect her ill any way with the occurrences you had witneSsed?'
 Well, I ain't sayin' but what 1 had my suspicious" she admitted readily.
 'Then why didn't you tell someOne:"
 "Huh!" she retorted. And let that ould divil of a Mrs. Watson know 1 was meetin' Denny and maybe givin' him bite. and lose me job? I guess notr'
