spect the open door, and creating an
international body OF reference al
China to mediate differences that may

policy.
Japan and France. however, COM

resolution by objecting to article 4.

with power to consider existing cem-

would have given China her long

the twenty-one demands under which
Japan frightened her grip on Man
churia and Mongolia.
Demands Chief Issue.
The twenty-one demands which
were forced on China in 1915 at the
point of an ultimatum now are exist
ent in the shape of concessions to the
japanese in Manchuria and Mongolia.
Thus a convenient method is afforded
! the Chinese to appeal against the con-

sions" whenever they may so desire.
While heartily approving the prin-
| ciple of the resolution the Chinese
nevertheless are proceeding cautious
| ly. In some Chinese quarters. the fear
was expressed today that the Hughes
resolutions was merely a convenient
way to relieve the Washington con-
ference of considering the twenty-o one
demands and placing responsibility on
some future board of reference.
Japs Can Block All.
| It was also pointed out in Chinese
quarters that the board could do
nothing except by the, consent Of all
powers concerned. and thus japan
could lock anything at any

President E. w. Jeffrey of the Peo-
pies Exchange bank of Elmdale.
Chase county, died today in a Newton
hospital as a result of self inflicted
wounds and poison which, he ha d
taken in recent effort to commit

minority members of the house COM
mittee on banks and banking. For a
number of years he had been engaged
in the banking business in Elmdale
and was rated as one of the successful
business men of Chase county
Recently Jeffrey was reported to
have invested heavily in motor COM
pany which met with consider Bile
loss. He then speculated in the wool
manufacturing business and was COM
PEELED to take a big loss on this in
Vestment.
The Elmdale bank is not involved
in Jeffrey's private trouble. according
to statements today by Frank H. Fos-
ter. state bank commissioner Investi-
cations by the state department have
shown the bank to be in good condi-
ton. altho examination will continue
as to certain securities.
1t was reported today that Jeffrey
had made rather extensive loans to
the American Wool Manufa curing
company OF which he was cashier. Ex-
act amount of these loans or values of

Los Angeles, Jan. 1S.-Of much sig

prosecution will probably seek a jury
of women and the defense one of men.
the panel from which the jurors to try
Mrs. Madalynn Obenchain. charged
with the murder of J. Bolton Ken
nedy will be chosen today showed
that it is composed of fifty-eight men
and fifty-three women.
Becau use the men outnumber the
women on the jury panel, it was con-
ceded that Mrs. Obenchain now has a
better chance to have more men than
women on the jury to decide her fate.
