AGREEMENT ORA WV UP
WITNESSES APPEAR
FOR ALL DEFENDANTS
In the Cape Cod Assault Case, Dr.. Ed
ward G. DeWolf Being
on the Stand.

New Bedford, Mass, Dec. 7.Ths
ross-examination Of John Dies, one Of
the three defendants in the Cape Cod
assault case, was completed in court
this morning and his attorney, William
Il. Lewis, announced that he had no
more testimony to offer. John L. Shee-
han, counsel for. Joseph Andrews,
called DIR. Edward 6. DeWolf of NAL
den as his first witness, and examined
him as to Miss Buffers condition as
manifested during the time she was on
the stand, and on the condition which
would probably have resulted from the
experience she is alleged to have un
dergone last August.
District Attorney Kenney subjected
Dies to stiff cross examination but
the prisoner insisted that he had not
been in an automobile the night of the
assault and had not seen Miss Butler.
In resting his case, Mr.. Lewis said:
THAT is all care to put in now for
the defendant Dies, except as ! may
avail myself of witnesses put on by the
other defendants. With this qualifca
tion-I'd like to have the benefit Of
hearing the testimony first and if +
think it favorable, accepting it, and if
not, rejecting It,"
4 don't think you ought to hear the
evidence first said Judge Lummus,
but join in the offering Of the wit
lesses. That is the fair way. You may
,lect to stop and have no further evi.
lence in the Dies case unless the dis
rict attorney rebuts, or you may con-
inuev
Frankly, your honor has me in di-
said Mr.. Lewis, Il don't know
What to do
'Then why not accept the sugges-
ion of the courtfp asked the imdge.
1t was finally agreed that witnesses
would be applied to the cases of all
hree defendants, unless otherwise
tated before they took the stand
With this understanding DIR. Edward
!. DeWolf Of Maiden was called by
lr Shcehan as the first witness for
andrews.

PLAN DRAWN
AND CABLED
TO TOXIC
Japan Is Asked to Re-
nounce the Anglo-Japan-
ese Alliance in Case the
New Agreement is Ac-
cepted BY Powers Con-
cerned

Washington, D. c., Dec. Z by tn
Associated Press. THE four-powe
agreement being considered by tn
United States, Great Britain, Japal
and France, il was learned to-day from
official american sources would be al
agreement for joint consultation OF
any matters affecting interests of thos'
nations in the Pacific islands and no
an alliance or technical entente.
The agreement is in process OF be
ing reduced to treaty form, it is stated
ana If accepted is to be submitted L
ha Senate.
The proposed undertaking is desig-
rated to do away with the Anglo
japanese alliance and proposals have
aane to Japan for rcnunciation Of that
alliance if the new agreement should
be contaminated.
As now under negotiation the agree
ment is to be limited to the Pacific
Islands. Under the tentative propos-
ais each of the powers would agree
war on any differences that might
arise relating to thise islands.
The agreement, American officials
said, would not deal with Notifications
in the Pacific nor with questions relat-
ing to the Island of Yop. Neither
would ii deal with any matters affect
ing China but only those relating to
islands of the Pacific.
The questions at issue between the
United States and Japan relating to
cable facilities and other matters af-
fecting the Island of Yap, are to be
dealt with in separate treaty, which
was said to be naer completion.
! The proposed four-power agreement
ITO deal with the Pacific islands is said
to. have already been given approval
in principle by British representatives
at the Washington conference. The
substance of the proposed treaty also,
it was said, has been cabled to Toxic
and Paris. The formal responses of
the British, Japanese and French gov
ernments still remain to be received,
however.
Official confirmation that the sug-
gestion for a new international con-
cert has taken definite form was Civ
en- to-day by the British. Details were
not revleased, but an authorized Brit
ish spokesman said that certain sug-
gestions were formulated and tele-
graphed to London" after the confer
ence last week between Secretary
Hughes, Arthur J. Balfour and Ad-
mrial Baron kato.
The British spokesman added that
it might fairly be inferred that If
these proposals should find general
acceptance they would have the effect
of terminating the Anglo-Japanese al
lance, for which there would be no
further use.
Although no similar official state
ment has been made by the Japa-
nese, II Is known that the tentative
was cabled also TO Toxic,
and the delay in receiving a more df-
mite statement of position from the |
japanese capital is attributed gener-
ally TO questions raisel by hits new |
phase Of the negotiations rather than
TO indecision over the naval ratio.
