anywhere in the Yaller Banks to be

Japanese Seek Control
Of Chinese Eastern Road

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Evidence Of
Japanese desire for complete domina-
ton of the Chinese Eastern Railway,
now administered by an inter-Alled
commission, was reported to the Chinese
government in a recent memorandum by
commission of inquiry sent to Man
churia and Siberia. copy received to-
day in diplomatic circles is dated July
28, 1920, and shows it was prepared by
commission of three counsellors to the
Chinese government, consisting of an
American, French and British represen-
tative.
The commission declared that from
evidence collected as to bandit raids in
the vicinity of the railroad, which spans
the Chinese province of Manchuria, it
was "plain that certain bands were
armed with Japanese guns" ana "that
n foreign influence is exercised in favor
of the bandits for the evident purpose
of destroying Chinese authority"
Commenting on Japan's announce
ment of her intention Of evacuating the
trans -Baikal, the commission said that
the technical inter-Allied Bureau Of
Harbin was taking measures to hasten
the withdrawal Of the Japanese troops.
"It is impossible" the memorandum
continued, "to foresee whether the Jap
anese will evacuate all the territory to
the west of Harbin and will retire to
Japan all the troops thus withdrawn, or
whether they will maintain part of
these troops either in northern or south
ern Manchuria.
at is indispensable to clear the coun-
try along the Chinese Eastern Railway
of the brigands who infest it, but it
ought to be added that after the evi-
dence given by the local authorities, this
danger is bound to disappear as soon as
the Japanese have evacuated the region"

cases. They declare they saw Mrs
Salomone take several bolts of cloth
from ORE of the cases. These she
handed to her four sons. The children
carried them to the loft of the barn,
1t is said. from which they were trans
ferred to the attic of the house. After
watching the partial unpacking of one
case the detectives forced the door and
placed Mrs. Salomonc and her children
under arrest.
Acted In Spirit Of Revenge
When questioned by. the police Mrs.
Salomone admitted that she had no
reason for stealing the goods. She
said, according to the police, that she
did it in sort of spirit Of revenge.
Somebody robbed us of stuff worth
$4,000 some time ago." Mrs. Salomone
is reported to have told the police,
"and I thought that this would be a
good way to get even. Once | started,
it was so easy that just went on"
In the house the police found mer-
chandise of every description, includ-
ing drygoods of all kinds, typewriters,
household appliances and many miscel-
laneous articles. The two patrol
wagons which were sent from the Ham,
ilton Avenue station made several trips
before all of the goods were removed.
The police estimated the value of the
goods at $4,000.

was made upon its probable origin in
India, from which country it first came
to the western world as present from

Glancing from the diamond to the

DIR. Hyde's Wife
Sues for Divorce,
Charging Cruelty
Stood BY Kansas City Doc
tor During His Three
Trials for Murder Of Her
Uncle, Colonel Swope
speclal Dispatch to The Tribune

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 2.IMrs.
Frances Swope Hyde to-day filed suit
for divorce against DR.. b. Clark Hyde,
alleging extreme cruelty and violence.
She asks the custody Of their two chill
dren, a son, six years old, and daughr
ter, four, saying that she is financially
able to care for them. while her hus-
band is not The petition also asks for
u restraining order to prevent DIR.
Hyde from interfering or intruding at
Mrs. Hyde's home.
The Hydes were married June 21,
1905, and lived together until August
!, 1920, the petition says. 1t continues:
"The defendant disregarded the
duties of husband, and has been
guilty of repeated and constant acts
of cruelty and violence toward the
plaintiff Of such nature to endanger
her life, and has applied opprobrious
epithets to her and to her friends in
the presence of their children.
"He has by studied words and CON
duct tried to estrange her children
and herr friends from her and has ex-
hibited a sullen, morose and cruel dis
position and demeanor devoid of any
sentiments of affection, which has
caused the plaintiff to be in constant
fear for the welfare OF the lives of
herself and her children. He has per
sisted in that conduct until her health
has been undermined and her nervous
system broken down, and he has offered
such indignties to her as to render
her condition intolerable."
Neither Dr.. Hyde nor Mrs. Hyde was
at home to-day. Neighbors said DR..
Hyde left for Washington two weeks
ago Mrs. Hyde, who has been away
since early in July, returned last week,
spent few hours at the house and
left to make her home with a friend.
Mrs. Hyde was Miss Frances Swope,
niece of Colonel Thomas H. Swope.
Colonel Swope died mysteriously Oc-
tober 3. 1909. In quick succession five
members Of the Swope household died.

year. After running fast half mile
in training at New York track as a
two year-old his owner was offered
$4,000 for him and refused. Since
then the horse has been a disappoint-
ment. In races where he had been
backed heavily he fell or had to be
pulled up. But the Hope diamond yes
terday broke the spell, say the Sir Oil

too, say the delivers into the occult,
the reputed evil power of the exotic
stone has been broken forever.
The diamond is valued at S300,000
Its dazzling blue rays were first seen
in the western world at the Court of
Louis XIV of France. 1t was later
among the crown jewels of Louis Ky
and his queen consort. Again it
adorned the corsage Of Marie An
toinette In the dark days of the
Reign of Terror it was lost sight of
but reappeared in the last century as
the property Of the English banker,
Henry Philip Hope, from whom it took
the name it has borne since.
From him it passed on to Lord Fran
els Hope, who married in 1894 May
Yohe, then a popular actress. Later
Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey coveted
the jewel and paid, according to re
port, 100000 for it, How it made its
way back to France is mystery, but
some time later it reappeared in that
country in the hands of French syn
dicate, who placed it on sale through
the Cartier firm, from whom Mr.. Nc
Lean bought it.
