Law Partner Doesn't Believe
cabIed Report That Ambassa-

NOW ON WAY TO U. S.

Stevens Heckschcr. law partner Of
Roland Morris, of this city. does not
believe the report cablpd from Toxic
that Mr.. Morris intends to resign as
American ambassador to Japan.
Mr. Norris. accompanied by his wife.
has sailed for home.
When told of the report that Mr..
Morris was Every much disappointed
over the turn of events in Siberia" in
that he had not been notified by our
government of the withdrawal Of Ameri-
can troops there, Mr.. Heckscher re-
piled:
~ have not heard from Mr.. Morris
for more than a month. but in that last
letter he said nothing at all Of any un =
pleasantness. Accordingly I can neither
affirm nor deny the report. but it is my
personal opinion that it is not ac
curate.'
According to the cable Mr.. Morris
will offer his resignation as soon as he
has made personal report to the sec
retary of state. A desire to take part
in the presidential campaign in Phila =
delphia is given as Mr.. Morris's reason
for hurrying action in the acceptance OF
his resignation.
Mr.. Morris. the cable continues. was
first disappointed in the refusal given
his recommendation that the late die
tator. Admiral Kolchak. be SUPPORTED
by this country. The final straw cam,
when the American troops were with
drawn from Siberia without consulting
him.
Although he is supposed to be the
American spokesman in the East. he
first learned of the order to Major Gen
eral Graves to remove his troops from
the Japanese Government, it Is de-
clared.

A grating noise reached the ears of

he was making his last round early
this morning.
The noise came from "a rear office

cautiously. but as he drew near it the
noise ceased. A few, minutes later it
started again louder than ever.

to himself. He concluded there must
be at least four of them. They were
evidently heavily armed. too. Under
the conditions he did the best thing
possible. Going to a telephone in an
extreme end of the store he called de-
tective headquarters at City Hall.
''There's gang Of safe blowers at
Evans's drug store. 1106 Chestnut

Four strenuous sleuths, all experts on

the men drew their revOlvers as they
preached the store. They met the
watchman at the front door. After n
council of war it was decided to send
two men to the rear. while two would
attack the enemy from the front. ..
