points brought from the Japanese the expression that they contained many propositions to which Japan would heartily subscribe but that 1t in- cluded others, which, If not opposed. would necessitate a longer exarnina- ton. The paragraph asking the powers not to conclude treaties af- fecting China without consulting . China was regarded by the Japenese as a reference to the Anglo Japanese examination of them to fix their scope and validity is regarded by Japan as opening a wide subject af- fectinS Great Britain and also France.
 The question of administrative freedom is declared in Japanese cir cles to affect particularly England alliance. and they felt it might also be construed as an allusion to the
 ii-Lansing agreement and the Root-Takahira accord of 1908. What seems to puzzle Japanese
 most is the declaration that China S
 rights as a neutral are to be re- spected. This is interpreted by some
 as meaning China wishes to have the powers guarantee her neutrality. l Others share the Japanese argument | that order in commitments and en- agreements means a central authority | in China to regulate them and the whole situation goes back to ques- | ton of building up an orderly China | able to exercise her prerogatiVes as state

Wheat Quotations Take Lofty Turn
 In Days Trading
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Decided up- turns in wheat took place today ow- ing more or less to a rise in foreign exchange. The close. although un- settled. was SIS to 27s net higher, with December 1.06A to 1-O6 4s ana May 1.09ss to 1.0915. Corn gained A to 1BQ114, and oats 5s to 4 q ts. Provisions varied from unchanged to 15 cents decline.
 With sterling exchange quoted above $4 % for the first time this year, wheat had an upward slant ex- cept about the middle of the session, when large selling orders from the east forced a temporary sharp set back. Strong commission houses absorbed the offerings, however, and news favored the bulls, advlces tell ing of better export demand at the gulf and of Germany taking Hour at the Atlantic seaboard. Gossip was also current that a powerful banking interest was working on a loan to Germany.
 Active demand from the east to- gether with scantiness of receipts here gave a lift to the corn market.
 Oats sympathized with the advance of other cereals.
 Provisions at first were firm, re- flecting the action of hogs ana gram, but packers selling of lard brought about something of a reaction.

AMERICA HAs NJ
 PLAN ID L|MI I
 FORCES IF LAND

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. The United States does not contemplate offering any definite program for limitation of land forces during the conference and so far as the Amer ican delegates have been able to ascertain, no foreign delegation has prepared army proposals.
 The question of army reductions will be preached by Premier Briand of France. He has intimated France would urge an army for herself suf- ficient for protection against near neighbors, and the whole question of armies is then expected to be re- ferred to the committee of the whole. The United States has no proposals for army limitation, it was said on authority today, as she has nothing to offer on her own behalf, the American army already being as small as is consistent with national safety and domestic needs. Great Britain, it was said, was in a simi- lar position.
 It was said neither the United States nor Great Britain were in a position to offer any concessions nor were they desirous of suggesting, on their own initiative, limits of armies for the others. The American group IS lully pfepdFeu, however 10 Qeal with the land force question when it develops, having data relating to every army of considerable size.
 There was much speculation among conferees whether France would propose or hint at reported desires for definite assurances from America and Great Britain for protection against German aggression, in con- sideration for an agreement to make radical reduction fin her army If so, there was high authority for the statement that she would be doomed to disappointment. The American position was said to be against any treaty, compact or agreement, assur- ing France that America would go to her aid in case of outside aggression
 nAhis position the American dele. gates were said to have received as- surances of support from Great Britain and Canada also was said tC be ready to adhere to the American ! view

custom he had reported at the post O.Iice 10 get the mail for the Santa fe train to Los Angeles which leaves here at s o'clock in the afternoon and which he accompanies as mail clerk. He took the mail to the train on truck and unloaded it in the mail car, being assisted by the driver of the truck. He then took off his gun and threw 1t on table in the end of the car, preliminary to changing to his working clothes. He then locked the door to the car on the south side, and saw that the small door between the mail and express divisions of the car was closed.
 Then. as is his custom. he went to the mail box at the corner of the station platform and returned with a handful of letters from it. Entering the car, he walked toward the east end when he was met by ''the party in the mask who ordered him to throw up his hands. At this point in the testimony Gardner appeared deeply interested in the words of the witness and leaned forward as if to catch very intonation of the speaker.
 '.The party in the mask had a re- volver. Inderlied said. Attorney Flynn then asked for the gun, and when Assistant U. S. Attorney Holub started to leave the table the first laugh of the hearing was raised when he asked Flynn:
 replied:
 If there's nothing in it."
 GrappIes With Masked Man
 Continuing his story, Inderlied said that 'the party in the mask forced him to the west end of the car, keep ing the revolver pointed at his stomach and with the other hand cuffing the letters from the mail box out of his hand. sInderlied said that he refused to raise his hands, and when he hSd been forced to the end of the car the party in the mask told him s'to lie down on his belly.'
 Inderlied said he hesitated, and "the party in the mask" then grabbed him by the back of the neck and forced him down. When the hand was removed from his neck and he started to rise. he saw his assailants s right hand with the gun opposite his face, and seized it by the wrist, with his other hand grabbing the hair at the back of the assailant's head. They wrestled, he said. and during the scuffle Gardner managed to shift the gun from his right hand, still held DY l0QcIAtu. tO HIS lcAlt W6CA C0PoAl the clerk grabbed his left hand. and they fell.
 Inderlied was on top, he said, and when they fell his assailant said:
 'T'll split it with you.'
 Later, he said, the robber said:
 "You1l get the money, all right, but I saved your life.'
 Wooden Bullets In Gun
 1nderlied said that during the scuf- f1e he continually called for help. When assistance came he took the revolver from Gardner's hand and kept it until yesterday morning. when he turned it over to agents of the de- pertinent of justice. The gun, which was made an exhibit in the case, was loaded, Inderlied said, with five shells, three of which carried lead bullets and two of which carried false bullets of wood and containing shot. The five cartridges also were made exhibits.
 The government rested here, and Gardner began his cross examination of the witness. After asking In- tierlied If the latter had had possess

JAPAN ANXIOUS
 TO PUT ALL HER
 CARDS LIN TABLE
[Republlcan A. p. Leased wIre1


 WASHINGTON. Nov. I6-As many public sessions as possible are de- sired by the Japanese in the discus sion of Pacific and Far Eastern ques- tlons, Japanese delegates declared to- day. They added that the Japanese would welcome open discussions be- cause they wanted the world to ex- anime Japanese policies in the Far East.
 It was intimated Japan would like to adhere to her attitude voiced at Tokio recently, that questions affect ing particular states be left as far as possible to direct settlement between those states and that no efforts be made to discuss the past in connec- tion with the general examination of the situatian in the Far East.
 Japan Admits Errors
 Japan stood ready, her spokes- men insisted, to admit her faults. but if the conference were to plunge into history. she feels it would prove endless and probably stir up i'll feel ing. Such an examination they point out would logically include conditions under which Great Britain occupied Hong Kong and Wei-Hai-Wei and France Indio- China, not to mention the spheres of influence of those countries in the Yangtse valley and Yunnan provice, respectively.
 Japan does not expect to raise the Chinese territory and apparently does not expect other coutries will 1 question her right to the leased ter | ritory of South Manchuria which | came to her in the war with Russia 1 Her delegates appear to regard thi: | lease of 99 years as being in practice | perpetual. Its renewal within a few | years under the 1915 treaty witt l China, it is understood will be in. 1 sisted on by Japan, and any attemp to dispossess her would be regarded by the Japanese as an attack on hel rights.
 It was also intimated that the Jap. anese are opposed to the idea of al

China, they point out. has not even yet accepted the financial consortium agreement under which the powers were jointly to loan money to her Japan. it was said. could not make loans without guarantees and was not disposed to enforce guarantees on China.

Sure It's Gardner

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 16-The bandit captured at Phoenix, Ariz, last night is Roy Gardner, according to telegrams received today by railway mail service officials and postoffice inspectors from Phoenix.
