CHANGES AIDE CAPTIVE.
Manchurian Leaders i'm DissensiOn at
Other Points, Say Reports.

Minister MacMurray at Peking
transmitted to the State Department
today reports current there that
Yang YuTing, the chief of staff of
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian
war lord, had been placed in con-
finement at Mukden by order of Gen.
Kuo Sung Ling of the Manchurian
forces.
The message added that there was
diSsension among the Manchurian
commanders at other points and some
lighting within the Manchurian ranks,
but did not serve to give officials
here any clear view of the extent
of which Chang's hold on the Man
churian situation had been shaken
by the revolt among his generals.
In some quarters the report from
Mukden of the arrest of Chalg's S
chief of staff was taken as an ex-
PLANTATION of the previous unofficial
report that Chang himself had been
imprisoned by the revolters.
Revolt Not Explained.
No word has reached Washington
from any official source which would
explain the sudden revolt against the
Manchurian war lord. 1t seems clear,
however, that the whole political sit
uation in China has been greatly COM
,plicated by the new outbreak. Min
lister MacMurray has been unable to
indicate what the probable effect will
be on the customs conference in
Peking.
An actual clash between Manchu-
rian factions occurred in Chang
Wang-Tao and Changli, Minister Mac
Murray's dispatch indicated, adding
that the Manchurian chieftain at
Tientsin. Ii Ching-Lin, had declared
his independence of Chang.
Railway traffic in the Tientsin area
to the north has been crippled by the
revolt.

Contention of State.
The former holdings of the Hohen-
zollerns, according to the contention
of the Prussian state, came to them
by virtue of their being kings and
therefore with the abolition of the
monarchy reverted to the state. The
judges before whom cases have been
heard have rejected this contention.
1t is said to be the purpose of the
Prussian minister of finance next
week to introduce in the Prussian diet
bill acknowledging the claims of the
Hohenzollerns. Enraged, the Demo-
Gratis, Communists and Socialists
threaten to fight and to place the en-
tire question of a settlement with the
HohenZollerns in the Reichstag by in

whether If an agreement was reached

the stability Of Germanys exchange.

bER[|NER'S AUTO
FOUND BY ROADSIDE
Discovery Near EIIiCott City
Gives Police First Clue to
Elusive Bandit.

Finding of the automobile OF Henry
A Berliner, 2s41 Tilden street, in
which the elusive bandit made his
escape after robbing the Berliner
home and holding up the Dupont
Delicatessen Store Tuesday afternoon
gave the puzzled Police Department
one clue today which may lead to his
early capture. The car was found on
the Columbia pike just on the out
skirts of Ellicott City, Md, and its
identification definitely was estab-
lished by the District license tags.
Almost simultaneously with finding
of Mr.. Berliner's stolen machine the
Montgomery county police arrested
Private David A. Way. stationed at
Walter Reed Hospital, as, he was al
legged to have attempted to enter
Dudley'S drug store. in Takoma Park,
Md. Efforts of the Metropolitan police
to implicate the soldier with the series
of daring hold-ups and robberies in
Washington, however, have been flu
tile.
Police Start Search.
Mr.. Berliner's automobile was found
by Julius W-oSch. chief of police of
Ellicott City, and, as soon as the
identity of ats owner was learned,
notified Inspector Clifford Grant, chief
of the Washington detective bureau
Sat the request of Inspector Grant the
entire Maryland Police Department
inaugurated n systematic search for
the bandit.
The fact that the machine was
abandoned near ElIicott City leads
police to believe that the man board
ed an electric car there and Went to
Baltimore, where he may be hiding.
The Baltimore police have pledged
their cooperation in 'ferreting" him
out if he is still in that city
AS soon as word reached Washing
ton that the Berliner car had been
found Inspector Grant sent Fred Sand

company with Frank Alligood and

Effect Would Be Adverse.

feet, no doubt" admitted the general,
but l couldn't say to what extent II
would have endangered the safety OF
all the islands,
Mr.. Reid then had the witness point
out that the Island of Molakai is locat-
ed close TO other islands OF the Ha-
waiian group, and then demanded If
the witness still insisted that the oc-
cupation of Moiakai would not have
resulted in the occupation of the whole
group. Gen. Eltinge replied that un-
doubtedly all OF them would be more
or less affeeeed, and in response to a
question: he admitted that Govern
ment property at Pearl Harbor would
be made liable to attacks from the air.
Gen. Eltinge was followed on the
stand by Maj. Balm, who was assistant
TO the senior umpire In the Hawaiian
maneuvers. He detailed his connection
with drawing up the naneuver prob
lem and then was subjected to a grill
ing ssexamination by Mr.. Reid.
Defense counsel developed that on
Mai. Bain's visit to the islands in
1925 he made an inspection Of the
air torce on the islands, but did not
go into any particulars.
Admits Study Brief.
The major also admitted he would
not be able to determine whether a
plane was in good or bad condition,
and confessed most of his information
had been CLEANED from conversation
with air officers.
The effect of Mr.. Reid's examination
caused considerable comment in the
courtroom on what appeared to have
been a mere perfunctory visit, follow
ing which lengthy report was pub
lished on conditions the ma jor found.
The prosecution. however. came to
the defense of its witness and cleared
up this impression by bringing out the
fact that the major was allotted only
10 days between boats while en- route
to the Philippines, and his inspection
did not call for aircraft maneuYers or
other minor details

ton to deny, disprove and break down
the truth Of the testimony offered by
Col Mitchell and his defense witnesses
were buffeted about from pillar to post
at the morning session and little, II
ANYTHING was accomplished.
Reid Attack Ruthless.
The cause of it all was the constant
sniping at the prosecutions procedure
by Mr.. Reid, who ruthlessly attacked
virtually every question Maj. Wilby,
the direct examiner, endeavored to ask
Brig. Gen. Eltinge.
Lengthy argument, some of con-
siderable temperature, usually ensued
the rapid fire objections of the de-
fense, and in the majority of cases
they were sustained by the court.

HOW HELP NAVAL pEsERTERs?

Men who rarely desert from the
navy in time of war or when their
ships are on the move but do run
away when held up in port would
seem worthy of some effort to set
right, So thinks Secretary of the
Navy Wilbur, who believes it pos
sible to help many of them to become
respectable and self-respecting citi-
zens. He is said to favor a reform
atory where this class Of prisoners
may be segregated, an institution
like that at Portsmouth, N. III. and
possibly located there. He is now
said to be ascertaining the cost of
converting the Portsmouth naval
prison into an institution suitable TO
the purpose he has in mind.
Under the Secretarys direction 467
of these deserters were asked to
state why they enlisted and why
they deserted. Classification Of the
mental qualifications of these 467 de-
serters showed only 81 of superior
Intelligence, 22S of average intelli-
gence", .163 ."inferior" and "15 very
inferior" OF their replies hardly any
two are alike and little appeared to
show they did not like the service
when there was something going on.
Some, as might be expected, acted
on the impulse of the moment, some
were deserters because of fancied in
jury or prejudice but the greater
part Of them intended when they left
to leave the service permanently.
1t may be that not much may be
done with those of superior intelli-
gence." They knew better than to
suppose they could get away" with
desertion: their superior intelligence
is not well in hand it seems. Those
of average intelligence" ought to
be capable Of lasting improvement if
properly treated.
