Seizes Officers Gun in
Off Moment; Fires
Into His Head.

New York, Jan. I9.-PatroIman
Otto w. Motz was morta!ly
wounded Thursday by Frank
WhaIey, negro, who was being
detained, pending an examination
as to his sanity. The shooting
took place in the back room of
the West l23rd street police sta
tion.
Motz, who had wife and two
children, died within an hour. He
was shot with his own gun.
Patroiman John Hagstrand
Ieaped at the negro as he stood
over MOTIFS body. The maniacal
negro wheeled about, pressed the
weapon against Hagstrand's abdo-
men and pulled the trigger, but the
gun misfired.
The negro, who later gave the
name of Frank WhaIey, was sub
dued after terrific fight, in
which half a score of policemen
beat him down.
Whaley had been taken to the
police station on complaint of
tenants in Harlem apartment
house that he was annoying and
threatening them. He had been
left in the rear room to await the
arrival of an ambulance surgeon
who was to examine him.
Patrolman Motz then came In
with a misdemeanor offender and
retired to the rear room to rest
before returning to his beat. He
removed his heavy top coat, ex-
posing his holster and gun. AS
Motz turned his back, the negro
rushed at him, snatched the re-
vo!ver and fired. The bullet en-
tered the patroIman's temple.
Motz was % years old.
After two hours examination
Assistant District Attorney Di-
neen said he was convinced
WhaIey was shamming insanity
and was trying to "biuff his way
through" after 2 homicide charge
had been placed against him.

ALL CHINESE CARDS
ORDERED LAID UPON
TABLE BY FARLEY
Showdown of Commitments Sc
quel to Adoption of r. r.
Resolutions.

Washington. Jan. fb.-(By The AS
sociated Press) The Far Eastern
committee of the Washington confer
ence Thursday recorded a mutual
pledge against the discriminatory rail-
road practices in China and then gave
general approval to a proposal that the
whole multitude of treaties and under
standings relating to China's interests
be published to the world.
The suggestion for showdown of
all Chinese commitments, which came
from the American delegation, was
promptly supported by the Chinese and
received tentative Endorsement by the
British, Japanese and French. A
formal resolution embodying the de-
cision Is to be considered at meeting
of the committee Friday, but the pub
ication probably will not be before the
conference ends.
Most of the plenipotentiaries declar-
ed that virtually all such agreements
had been made public. The japanese
suggested it might be difficult to make
the list complete because of engage
ments of various private individuals
and corporations of which the govern
ments had no knowledge. The resolu
tion is expected to provide that each
government make known whatever in
formation it has regarding the separate
agreements entrd into by its nationals.

Reinsch Sees Tangle
in Pacific Treaty if
u. S. Not Watchful

Washington, Jan. 19.-The wisdom
of American participation in the four
power treaty adopted at the Washing
ton conference to preserve peace in
the Pacific can be judged only by the
results obtained. in its disposal of re-
naming questions in the far east, Dr.
Paul S. Reinsch. former minister to
China. declared in an address here be-
fore the National Popular Government
league.
While he believed, DIR. Reinsch said,
that it should be possible for the Unit
I'll States to keep strictly within the
written terms" of the Pacific treaty
without further contingent obiga-
tions,' he warned that its provision
for joint consultation, should the rights
to insular possessions in the Pacific
be attacked from without, might easily
become source of entanglements."
'"Ihe only possible source of outside
nttack upon the Pacific islands, the
speaker said, would be a strengthened
and united Russia and China. Such
possibility is very remote but should
1t arise, the United States would un-
doubtedly desire not to be committed
beforehand"
DIR. Rcinsch asserted he did not be-
iieve the American people sufficiently
realized that the future Of democracy
In eastern Asia is at stake.

TEMPERATURE ABOVE 100

Rome, Jan. 19.-By The Associated
Press) The physicians in attendance
upon Pope Benedict after their even
ing visit. described the bronchial af-
fection from which the pope is suffer
ing as taking the usual course. The
temperature was slightly more than
100, little higher than in the morning.
The vatican appears to feel that the
pope's illness is not grave.
Monsignor Migone celebrated mass
Thursday in an apartment adjoining the
pope's bedroom. The door Of the sick
room remained open SO that the pom
tiff might hear. Many diplomats Wis
tied the vatican, seeking news; all Of
them were received in the ante cham
Der, none being permitted to disturb
the patient.
It is said that the pope contracted
be had celebrated mass in Matilde
chapel in the presence Of the college
Of propaganda. He received visitors
and attended to his usual pontifical du-
ties until Tuesday He has suffered
from coughing spells, due to irritation
Of the bronchi, and has shown con-
siderable restlessness.
Notwithstanding the optimism, there
Is no assurance that the attack has
been checked. All that could be said
Mt the vatican was that the physicians
hoped to prevent the spread of the
disease and avoid complications.
The pontiff will be forced to remain
In bed five or six days, it is said at the
vatican. The cold has settled in the
bronchial tubes.
His holiness is eating very little and
has been ordered to remain quiet. Car
dinal Gasparri and other vatican pre-
lates are constantly near him.
Pope Benedict has never known what
it is to be really i'll and it is difficult
for him to remain in bed. He kept
on conducting the affairs Of the church
after the first symptoms of illness ap-
peared until Cardinal Gasparri's urg-
ings were successful in inducing him
to take to his bed.

Freight Rates Higher
Than Coal Says Mine
Group Leader at Quiz

Washington, Jan. 19.-Claims of the
coal industry for decreased railroad
rates were presented to the inter
state commerce commission Thursday
]. D. A. Morrow, vice president of
the National Coal association and rep
resentative of the largest broup of coal
mine operators, declared his organiza-
ton would not attempt to say what
railroad earnings would stand in the
way of freight reductions, but asserted
that If any were granted they should
be accorded to coal first and to the
largest degree.
Mr.. Morrow estimated that freight
on coal had increased as much as 200
per cent since 1914 and that the pres
ent average cost of transporting ton
from the mines to the consumer was
$2.74, while the price Of the product
itself at the mine was $2.14.
