Detectives Trail Girls Seen Climbing
Hotel Fire Escape; Find 2 Sneaking In

Detectives TalIey and Weber, re-
spectiveIy, explained their business
and demanded an immediate sur
render.
The door opened slightly and the
pretty, but flushed faces of two girls
appeared and fiaunted a hearty laugh
at the officers of the law, and the
amazed night clerk.
The clerk found his voice and made
explanations all around, quite apollo
getically.
"You see. we're with a party of
New York State high school students,
and we were ordered to be in tonight
by midnight. We overstayed the time
limit and were afraid to come in the
regular way" one of the girls eX-
planned.
"I thought nobody saw u.s." said the
other.
Detective Talley poked Detective
Weber in the ribs.
And we were hurrying to get in
before anybody woke up" added the
first.
Detectives Talley and Weber both
raised their eyebrows, took hitches IN
| their respective belts and excused
themselves as hastily as possible, to
continue their cruising.

BANKS ARE REASSURED
ON LOANS TO VETERANS

Banks were reassured by Director
Hines Of the Veterans Bureau, in an
official statement last night, that
there is enough money in the Treas
ury to pay all claims Of banks which
made loans to the veterans.
Some apprehension had spread
among the banks. it was learned, fol-
lowing a recent decision by Controller
General McCarl, which held that the
Veterans Bureau could not make
loans direct to the men by borrowing
from the adjusted service certificate
fund. This same fund, however, is
available for paying claims Of banks,
which have made loans to veterans
on their bonus loans.
The activities of the Veterans Bu-
reau itself funding direct to veterans
comes from another trust fund in
the Treasury known as the United
States Government life insurance
fund.

ARMS SUPERVISION
is REJECTED BY u. S.
By the Associated Press.


GENEVA, Switzerland, April 10
The United States can accept no su-
pervision by the League of Nations
III carrying out the provisions of any
general disarmament treaty, Hugh
Gibson announced at today's session
Of the preparatory disarmament COM
mission.
II the members of the League de-
sire machinery for international con-
troll. however. he added, the United
States is ready TO cooperate in the
conclusion of such treaty, provided
the control does not apply to the
United States.
Mr.. Gibson said the fact that the
United States was not a member of
the league was not the prime reason
for her inability to accept League
supervision, but a conviction that
such control was impracticable and
liable TO foment i'll will and sus-
picion. The United States believed
the treaty should be based on good
faith, like the Washington treaty,
which had been loyalty executed.
NJ. Paul-Boncour Of France, reply
ing, recognized the basis for the
American stand. He, therefore, ac-
cepted the suggestion that interna-
tional supervision be applied to
League members only.

Death Threats Barred.

"Some of us were told both by these
soldiers themselves and also by Chi
nese friends who helped us find places
Of concealment that we surely would
be killed.
ut is our conviction that the firing
OF the naval vessels prevented the
murder of many foreigners caught in
the city. 1t was Immediately after
the shelling began by the American
and British ships that bugles were
sounded and the soldiers ceased the
systematic work Of destruction, dem
onstrating that they were under con-
troll of higher military officers These
are all incontroVertible facts,
1T now seems the allestablished
opinion. both of Chinese and foreign
, ers. that those responsible tor these
outrages were Of the Communist wing
of the Nationalist government, which
is dominated and directed by Russian
bolshevist advisers.
"They are enemies not only of the

make impossible the realization Of an
orderly, unified government.
I'VE have always been of the deep
est sympathy with the genuine Chi.
nese national aims, and despite the

we passed we maintain this sym

uuences to China and TO the world If

JUDGE GIVES TALK
ON CHINESE ISSUES
Women's Council Told of
Jurist'S Experiences
in Orient.

The present situation in China
with all the armed forces there, by no
means marks an unprecedented con-
dition. declared Judge Charles S.
Lobingier, former Judge of the United
States Court of China, in an address
before the Business Women's Council
of Washington, in the lecture room of
the Church of the Covenant last night.
Although the present crisis has at
tracted worldwide attention, the
speaker indicated that it is mild in
comparison with the Tai-Ping upris-
ing occurring about the time of the
Civil War-when 20000,000 people
were killed. The part played by an
American. Gen. Frederick 7. Ward,
during that uprising. in which the lat
ter led forces to victory and saved
the Emperor of China, was related
by the speaker
Going to China as a sailor, Judge
Lobingier continued, Gen. Ward
joined Chinese forces as a member of
a gunboat crew and was gradually
promoted until he was given command
of a large army.
Says Chinese Unchanged.
Refraining from making but the one
direct reference to the present Chinese
crisis, the speaker told of an indus
on in China, but declared that the
essential characteristics of the Chinese
have not changed, are not changing
and will not change in the future.
Judge Lobingier said American mis-
sionaries have done more to gain
prestige for this country in China
than has any other force or body of
people In this connection he named
former Washington resident. Peter
Parker. whom he described as "the
first medical missionary in the world, y
and said the latter was instrumental
i'm getting the Chinese Emperor of
many years ago TO sign the edict of
tolerance. Regarding religion. he con-
tinued. the Chinese do not object TO
inconsistency. adding that individual
Cinnamon are often affiliated with
several religions.
Many Dialects Used.
1Te spes ker told Of the many differ.
srE Chinese dialects. which. he said.
hare prevented the development Of
. naSE0nal.sTn in China in past years.
He described face" or good stand
ing. as one Of the priced possessions
Of the Chinese and told Of one of the
ways Of losing it. On the Chinese
New Year eve a Chinese viii go to
the home of a man owing him money
and stay until midnight he. said, in
hopes OF being paid. At midnight,
however, the visiting Chinaman will
leave, whether or not he has received
the money, but in case he has not the
man that owed him will have ''lost
face" and will no longer have credit,
Judge Lobingier said.
Judge Lobingier was judge Of the
United States Court of China from
1914 to 1924, the coust having juris-
| diction over all Americans in that
country.
Following Judge Lobingier's ad-
| dress, a Bible class was conducted
with members of the council by Rev.
William A. Eisenberger assistant
| pastor of the Church of the Covenant,
after which an illustrated address on

SINCLAIR APPEAL
UP IN COURT TODAY
Oil Case Argument Before
Supreme Bench-LocaI
Hearing Tomorrow.

By the Associated Press.
The appeal of Harry f. Sinclair,
to set aside the decision Of the Circuit
Court of Appeals cancelling his lease
and contract on the Teapot Dome
Naval oil reserve. made while Albert
B. Fall was Secretary of the Interior,
was called for argument today in the
Supreme Court.
In combating the decision rendered
by Judge Kenyon of the Federal
Circuit Court of Appeals, cancelling
the lease on the ground Of fraud, coun-
sci for Sinclair contend that both the
FEDERAL District and Circuit Courts
found 1t was made to protect the re-
serve from drainage and that it was
authorized by law.
They hold this removed the case
from the controlling effect OF the Su-
preme Court decision in the case, can
ceiling the z. L. Doheny leases on the
Elk Hills naval reserve in California.
The single question before the Supreme
Court. they insist, is whether the
Government had established fraud and
corruption.
Special counsel for the Government
contends that the case was controlled
by the Doheny decision, and that the
lease. contrary to the findings OF the
lower courts, was invalid because 1t
was made without authority OF law,
as we'll as by fraud and corruption.
