Fleeing Bandits
Abandon Car on
Hazel Dell Road
All Indentification Marks Re.
moved-Bank Robbers Be.
lieved To Have Fled
Northward.

The Ford car, abandoned on the
Hazel Deli road, two and one-half
miles from the River-tosRiver road,
has been definitely determined to
have been used by the fleeing BAN
dts who robbed the Weston bank.
1t has been recognized and fully
identified by persons who saw the
car when the bandits left it with the
engine running near the bank. 1t will
be brought to Council Bluffs to-
day and further systematic search
of car records will be made to trace
it. g.. ...-..-..
The license plates and all identifi-
cation marks had been removed,
but the engine and other numbers
had not been disturbed. The location
of its original owner may throw
considerable light upon the identity
of the bandits. The officers believe
the car was stolen somewhere near
by. Scraps of paper and money
wrappings usd by tn bank and
found in the car make it certain it
was used by the bandits.
The car was found not far from
the Joe Pilling farm and about halt
way to the Hazel Dell church: Fairly
good roads lead from the point to
the Lincoln highway. No one has
been found who saw the car in the
vicinity of the point of abandon
ment, but it has been definitely de-
termined that it was left there be-
fore 10 Wednesday morning. It is
believed the bandits passed the Car
ner farm and turned north on the
Hazel Dell road. Nothing was found
to indicate the bandits had another
car waiting, and the officers believe
they walked across the country
toward Crescent or Honey Creek.
Deputy Sheriff Kost, finger print
expert, went to Weston yesterday
to search for finger prints, but the
vault doors had been handled by
many persons and the mission was

the opinion of some of those inter-
ested in the outcome of the confer
ence, the operations of the subma-
rine undoubtedly will be discussed
and proposals for an agreement as
to the use of this tremendously pow
erful instrumentality of warfare
may be suggested. ~r -
As to the scope of the confer
ence, the president asserts that it is
not the purpose of the United States
to attempt to define it in relation to
the Pacific and Far East, leaving
this to exchanges between the pow.
crs before the conference meets.
But he is emphatic in asserting
that there should be common under
standings reached on matters which
"have been and are" of information
al concern. 1t is assumed here that
this is intended to include such dis
putes as that over Shantung and Yap
which Japan hopes to have eliminat-
ed as matters either already settled
or of concern to not more than two
powers.
Plan Open Sessions.
Agitation for open sessions of the
conference is embarrassing the ad-
ministration somewhat, although it is
the purpose of the president and
Secretary Hughes to exert their in
luence to assure publicity of the &C
tions of the conference. The presi-
dent believes that the conference will
of course, make its own rules gov
erning publicity. .
There will be some open sessions
undoubtedly, but to throw all the ses-
sions open to the public, in the opin-
ion of the administration, would tend
to defeat the very purpose of the
conference. Assurances are given
that instrumentalities will be provid-
ed for making public the news Of
the conference upon which the pub
lie may depend for reliable informa'
ton.
The administration realizes that the
motive power behind the conference
| is public opinion and this public
opinion must be recognized as the
deliberations proceed.

Paris dispatch to Reuters late this
afternoon. The dispatch said this

that no meeting of the supreme
council would be held tomorrow
forenoon. Premier Brands call for
the cabinet meeting was issued I'M
mediately after a conference with
Premier Lloyd George late this
afternoon over the Silesian question.
1t was stated in French quarters
during the afternoon that difference
in the French and British viewpoint
as to the final drawing of the Silesian
boundary line had developed and
that the conference of the heads OF
the two governments and their ad-
visers this morning had not brought
about definite results.
Decide to Postpone Meet.
On this account it had been de-
cided, it was asserted in French quar-
ters, to postpone the evening council
meeting to allow the premiers OF
the governments to continue their
conferences.
Discussions on the Silesian boun-
dary were not participated in by
Ambassador Harvey and Baron
Hayashi, the Japanese ambassador
to England. The conferences this
afternoon were held in Mr.. Lloyd
Georges hotel.
The council agreed yesterday that
committee should be appointed to
study the best means of bringing
about allied cooperation in sending
relief to famine-stricken districts OF
Russia without recognition of the
soviet government, the question be-
ing described by Prime Minister
Lloyd George as a Humanitarian,
