Near Scene of Murder Of
Grocer Fail to Tally With
Those of Negro.

Failure OF his finger prints TO tally
found near the scene of the murder
of c. Ruben, 20, 62S North Seven
teenth street, Saturday night, caused
the release yesterday OF Frank
Lucas, negro, 220 Sotah Thirteenth

by the police, according to Chief OF
Detectives Van Deusen.
Fifty other negroes, taken in a
cleanup drive by detectives working
on the murder, will also be released,
the chief said, with orders to leave
Omaha or face vagrancy charges.
Perfect Finger Prints.
Perfect finger prints were found
on the razor which police believe

throat. They do not tally with those
taken from the negroes arrested for

Neither do they tally with prints
taken from the dead man. Bertillon

Statements OF Lucas in a negro
cafe that he had closed a grocery
store about midnight Saturday were
investigated by detectives, who
learned he had made the statement
concerning a grocery store at Thir-

the scene of the murder, when ne
was intoxicated.
He had entered the store to buy
pop, it was learned, and the store
was closed by the proprietors them
selves as soon as he left. So
Eight detectives, assigned to solve
the murder, are still working on the
case with no clue except the finger
prints on the razor.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Every vessel
entering New York Harbor from for
eign ports will be met hereafter by a
reception committee" detailed from
the customs headquarters, which will
make a thorough search for contra
band liquor before the passengers are

This line of action has been decided

suit of the recent ~uncovering of an
alleged whiskey ring in which emA
ployes Of steamships and passengers,
working with bootleggers on land,
were smuggling quantities of liquor
into the country. Their activities
were made possible, it is said, by the
lapse of time Of from n to two days
between the vessels arrival and the
search by customs officials.
Yesterday the gang plank of the
steamer Papland of the Red Star line
was barely down before "hootch
squad" was on board the vessel and
were at work searching the ship from
the captains cabin to the smallest
compartment. No ~contraband liquor
was found.

NO REFERENCE
TO SHANTUNG
ATCONFERENCE
Believed Introduction Of the
Question: Would Stir Up
Trouble.
(By The Associated Press.)

Al rhtrSD ~ <ASSOSlbSSu i 1885, uea -'h-
Washington, NOV. 2s.-WM the
celebrated Shuntung question which
has SO stirred public opinion in both
the Occident and Orient ind, it's way
F, mo the Washington conference?
This question occupies a proml-
nent place in the thought and talk of
Tie delegates, though open references
to it are naSst, guarded. IN some quar-
ters a desire Is shown to avoid 1t If
possible on the ground that the sub
ject is liablessto revive old controver-
sizes and Interrupt the hitherto har-
monious trend of the conference.
The Chinese view is that the Shan
tung question occupies an important
place on the. program they have
drawn up for submission to the con-
ference. The. Japanese standpoint IS
that it is quite unnecessary to discuss
the Shantungs matter because Japan
stands readyStto open direct negotia-
tons with China for the restoration
of the leased territory of Kiauchaui
in Shantung,,l and the withdrawal Of
troops along:tthe railroad on -condi-
tons which Japan considers reason
able. IS ~ MH' '
The Chinese opinion on this as ex-
pressed here Is that public opinion in
China is clamoring. for some settle
ment at the conference OF h Sham
tung controversy. -
Membersro of the Chinese delegation
say that the Chinese people do net
want either the Shantung question or
that iof ,the%51915 treaty settled IN
either Picking or Toxic. The Chinese,
accord ng to members Of the delega-
ton here, would distrust any such
settlement, and believe that only
the knowledge and: participation
of the world powers. would a per-
minent, equitable solution b 9 found.
The Washington conference affords
such an opportunity. according TO
Wellington koo,Ga member of the
Chinese delegation. who said China
will press before the conference for
the unfettered return of Shantung
, and abrogat or Of tho ~ demands,
matte chess board in the corridors
outside the conference itself, it was
declared, the two questions %undoubt-
cdly will be carried before the present
meeting. y -
In some far eastern circles the sug-
gestion is put. forward that If japan
would take the initiative to bring
about annulTnent of at least certain
parts of the 1915 treaty, known as
help salm agitation in China concern
ing Shantung and make for more
umicable relations between Japan and
China: @
Already Japanese spokesman have
suggested that they are prepared to
discuss in the conference the 1915
agreement from the standpoint OF
whether 1t is in contradiction to the
principle of the ."open door" and have
allowed it to be understood by infer
ehce that If it can be shown that any
clauses Of the treaty are in violation
of this doctrine Japan would be ready
to bring about their annulment. Such
a contingency is believed to mean,
however, that Japan would insist upon
a new arrangement with China
clearly fixing he fright to the renewal
Of the lease of the South Mnchuria
railway which soon expires.
