csc troops quartered along the line
of the Shantung railway, and others
are within the debated territory of
South Manchuria.
Thus the negotiations 70 touch
upon the Manchurlan and Shantung
controversies for the first time, al
though it is considered likely that
the real issues of these two problems
will be put over for discussion when
the conference takes up, in the very
near future, the specific subject of
railway leases. Along with the for
eign troop question, which for the
present does not deal with forces
like the legation guards at Pekin

Will ask for a consideration Of the
status of certain foreign telegraph
and wireless systems which they de-
clare exist in China without her con-
sent. The general subjected is
reached after a round-table discus
sion 70 so 70 a subcommittee.
In Japanese quarters il was Mon
day night thought that the Toxic
government was ready TO withdraw
it's troops from the areas not cover
ed by treaty stipulauons, as soon as
China could insure the safety Of
Japanese nationals, and property
within those zones.
See Withdrawal Favored.
Since the Japanese forces are
more widely affected than those Of
any other nation by the Chinese re-
quest. the attitude of the Japanese
delegates was taken as forecasting
at least a declaration Of principle
favorable to withdrawal.
Although the foreign governments
are 10 have a year of grace in which
20 prepare for withdrawal OF their
postal systems from China, one feat
ure of the agreement is expected
10 become effective as soon as the
conference confirms formally the
sanction voted by the delegates to-
day in committee Of the whole. This
section refers to the introduction Of
contraband into Chinese territory
through the foreign mails and gives
Chinese customs authority the right
to search all mail matter they sus-
pect.
No explanation Of the search
clause was contained in the official
announcement Of the agreement, but
it was understood 20 have been in
serted after the Chinese had charged
that large quantities OF opium were
being carried through Canada in the
foreign post in contravention of the
anti-Opium laws.

ORPHEUM

Another good show, was the YER
dict OF MONDAY afternoon Orpheum
patrons as they left the vaudeville
theateer after yesterdays matinee.
A bin minus anything spectacular,
but allied with producing
occasions delighted everybody.
The first act, another one Of those
showings IN which an artist gives
various pictures through the patch
ing Of cloth went over big. The
Watts and Ringold Offering. entitled
the "Blushing Bride and Groom, d"
produced more noise than any OF the
other acts. but seemed 10 lack the
necessary push and GO 20 make
IL up 20 standard.
George Howard, a clever banjo
player and Kittie Ross. a delightful
singer, were the reason for the sue
cess Of the third act on the program.
Fred Walker. the only individuaiist
on the bill. was by far the cleverest
performer on the bill. He had plenty
of originality and certainly made the
most of it. He was forced 10 give
two encores before the audience per-
mitted him 10 leave the stage for
good.
What The Boat Brought In also
went over with a slam TWO good
singers. one Of them a pretty girl and
some new style acting can be given
as the reasons. They were also fore
ed 10 render an encore.
II is a pity that the Zip. Yiu, Zap
bankers" are the closing actors.
Their little sketch entitled "A Day
In Camp" is delightful In 1t the
audience is given a little sarcastic
jester, some fine singing and few
clever clever acrobatic stunts. There
is nothing else 10 be desired.

EXPLAINS ACTION
TO JUDGE OMACHT
IN MOKWA RELEASE
Jellison Faces City Court Say
ing Act Was Premature
Tells Reasons.

Premature action IN ordering
Mokwa's release without bail was
admitted by Pros. Floyd +. Jellison,
who by order OF Judge George ".
Omacht faced the city court Mon
day afternoon and explained his rea-
son for ordering Sheriff Lew Duck
TO release Joseph J. Mokwa. local
attorney, who had been committed
10 the county jail last Friday in lieu
OF $1,000 bonds. Mokwa had been
arrested the previous Wednesday on
a bench warrant following his fail
ure 10 appear in court 10 answer
10 charges Of passing a fraudulent
check.
"Mr. Prosecutor" announced the
court. when a defendant has been
committed 10 Jail by order Of this
court and the city clerk has issued
a mlttimus in continuous holding
the defendant in lieu OF bonds. the
prosecutor has no authority 10 or
der his release"
Il believe I followed the usual
custom" explained the prosecutor,
answering the court, who had in
voked an afternoon session of the
city court TO hear the prosecutor
state his reasons for ordering Mok-
was release. &C. Lewinski. a law
partner Of Mokwa's, accompanied by
the latter's wife, came 10 my Office
Friday and presented me with a
check sufficient in amount 10 cover
Mokwa's bad checks"
Made Checks Good.
Although the proper thing then
admitted the prosecutor, would
probably have been for me to await
a session of this court and then dis
miss the case on motion of the state,
Lewinski and Mrs. Mokwa prevailed
upon me TO release Mokwa from
jail inasmuch as such action could
be expected when the bad checks
were made good"
Continuing, the prosecutor said:
Mrs Mokwa told me that Mokwa's
three children by a former wife
needed their father and explained
further that Mokwa, on his release
from custody, was prepared 10 go
to Gary or Hammond and start up
his law practice in one of those
cities, leaving South Bend. The need
of the children, however, influenced
me in having him released last Fri
day"
The court previously had sum
moned Sheriff Duck before him and
that official showed a written order
from the prosecutor. Attaching on
blame TO the sheriff In this instance,
Judge Omacht explained 10 Duck
that in the future he should not rec
ognize orders presented by the pros
ecutor If such orders dealt with
prisoners held in jail by order of
the city court.
The judge had obtained his in
formation earlier in the day that
MOkwa had been released from Gus
today without bonds. A man claim
ing TO have been one Of Mokwa's
had check victims wanted a warrant
sworn out for Mokwa's rearrest, de-
claring that the attorney had been
released Friday from jail and was
at liberty without bail. The court
thereupon summonded the sheriff
and later demanded of Pros. Jelli-
son an explanation for his action.

charge Of tro-glycerine and obtain
ed 81 loot. They overlooked be-
tween $50 and $40 in the safe.
The robbery marked the second
safe-blowing job within the past 10
days. and the feature of the rObber-
les is that the victims were com
petitors in business. The Indian
Refining Co.'S Offices on Circle av.
was the scene Of a successful burg
larry OF the same nature the night Of
Nov. Il. when by the use OF nitro
gylcerine a half-ton safe was blown
opened and IN addition TO $50 in cur
rency about SIS in revenue and post
age stamps were stolen.
Police Double Efforts
AS the result Of the city's crime
wave. during which stores have been
burglarized. citizens held up and
robbed. safes blown. 10 say nothing
OF the usual run of petty misdemean-
ors. the police will double their eff
forts 20 stop the epidemic. The first
move, according 10 orders OF Chief Of
Police Peter Kline. is 20 rid the city
OF undesirables. A free ticket 10
other chimes will be dealt out to
suspicious characters.
The safe-blowers on both burglar
les worked similarly. according 10
police who are conducting an in
vestlgation. showing themselves TO
be professionals IN that they left no
marks behind by which their identity
might be traced. That the two Jobs
were done by the same gang is view
ed by local investigators as almost
certain.
