problematical.
Tho Lincoln Motor Co. Is Della

1921, on the suit OF William III. Muir
ply, Judge Arthur II. Tuttle OF De-
troit. where the plant and physical
property are located. appointed the
Detroit Trust Co. receiver OF the as
sets In that district. on November 10.

subject 10 tho order Nof that court.
When these facts were presented to

unless hereafter otherwise ordered

time. II is understood. was that the
Michigan order would be amended so
AS TO give both courts Jurisdiction
over the proceeds OF the sale. but this
has not been done. hence the action of
Judge Morris in vacating the order
of sale he made. A copy OF the action

the Far Eastern situation again today

The famous "twenty-one demands"
was the immediate business before
the Far Eastern committee and at the
same time a sub COMMITTEES met to
try for a compromise on the Chinese
Eastern railway problem.
Meantime, a possibility developed
that the Far Eastern decisions might
be put into three treaties instead of
two, bringing the total number of
covenants to result from the negotia-
tons here to nine. The question is
not yet definitely decided, but some
conference leaders want to write a
treaty on the four Root principles and
the open door, another on customs
arrangements in China and a third
to cover other Far Eastern resolu-
tions adopted by the conference.
In the Far Eastern committee. ar
rangements were made for speeches

ton, 1t was said. might be in shape
in time for submission today to the
heads of delegatlops.

this afternoon that every effort was
