BERLIN. November 27.-Hans Luth-
er, president of the Reichsbank, address,
ing the League of German Industrial
lists today, re-emphasized Germany's
recognition Of her signature to the
Young plan and asserted that all her
private obligations would be met.
He expressed the opinion, however,
that growing insight into the dangers
Of the present solution Of the repara-
tons problem to the worlds economy
would lead to changes of some features
of the reparations arrangements.
Even the most passionate champions
Of revision of the Young plan," he said,
understand clearly that no German
desire for revision can be directed
against prompt payment of debts which
are of private character or where the
creditors are private persons.
Whatever may happen to the So
called moratorium or revision, Ger
many will fulfill her private obliga-
tionS regularly when due"

MAIL DRIVER TELLS
NEW HOLD-UP STORY
Now Admits "Jumpy Nerves"
Caused Him to Fire From
Truck Seat.

Arthur Saunders, colored, mail truck
driver, who last night reported that
bandits had attempted to hold him up
in Anacostia while driving back with
a truck load of airmail from Boiling
Field, admitted to headquarters detec-
tives today that it was case of jumpy
nerves and not armed robbers" which
caused him to fire a shot from his
drivers seat.
Detectives H. K. Wilson and Richard
j. Cox declared today that Saunders
told them under questioning that it
was his first trip to Boiling Field and
he was afraid some one would try to
rob him Of the mail.
AS he came to the railroad tracks on
Howard road, Saunders said, an au-
tomob1le containing three colored men
passed him going In the same direc-
ton. It was after dusk and Saunders,
startled by the approach Of the other
machine, pulled his gun and fired at
random on the off-chance the men
meant to waylay him, he said.
Bullet In Own Truck.
The bullet sped harmlessly into the
side of Saunders truck away from the
other machine, lodging there. The three
men, Saunders said, did not show any
guns or even slow their machine, but
disappeared down Howard road.
Wishing to explain the bullet in his
truck, Saunders said he went to No. IL
precinct and reported an attempted
hold-up." He gave detailed descrip-
tionS Of the three robbers" and look
outs were sent to the precincts. They
were recalled this morning.
After an investigation, Post ONCE
inspectors said this morning it was
entirely possible" that Saunders had
acted hastily. They learned that moth
ing was missing from the several sacks
of mail in the truck, including one of
registered mail, and then turned the
case over to the local police.
First Report Reviewed.
Saunders, in his first report, said
that three colored men appeared on
foot with drawn guns in his path as
he was crossing the tracks on Howard
road. He drew his gun, he said, and
hred one shot which scared his "assail-
ants" on.
The mail had just been landed in an
atrplane from New York. Post Once
authorities could place no estimate on
its value.

Smith CO. M|STR|AL
MOTION IS STUDIED
Justice Hitz to Rule Tomor-

Proceed.

While the District Supreme Court was
in recess today, Associate Justice Will
liam Hitz was considering a motion for
a mistrial in the $5,000,00o F. H. Smith
Co. conspiracy case.
The mistrial was demanded yester-
day by Wilton j. Lambert and his as
sociate. Frank G. Raichle of defense
counsel. after Fred K. Schultz of 4
Adams street, a prospective juror,
startled the crowd jamming the court
room by declaring in the presence of
the IL other tentative talesman:
1T seems to me that all of the de-
PENDANTS are guilty"
Raichle characterized Schultzs re-
mark as "ill-advised and uncalled- for I"
THE end and AIM" he added, "of all
criminal trials ought to be to secure a
fair trial for the defendant. The very
essence of criminal procedure ought to
be to choose unbiased men and women
to serve on jurtes.
Wants Continuance.
"AlI we have done here in the past
three days seems to be mere mockery
II juror may be permitted TO express
his belief of the guilt Of the defendants
In the presence of IL other jurors. This
case should be continued until the next
term Of court in order that the de-
PENDANTS may obtain a fair trial"
Nugent Dodds, special assistant to
the Attorney General, voiced vigorous
opposition to the granting of the mo-
ton. He suggested the court might
instruct the tentative jurors to disre-
gard the statement Schultz had made
or ask If the remark had prejudiced
them, excusing any who answered in
the affirmative.
Justice Hitz announced he would
read the cases cited by opposing counsel
and other law on the subject before
announcing his ruling. He excused
Schultz permanently and permitted the
other tentative jurors to return to their
homes for Thanksgiving. He warned
them to avoid discussing the case.

any team in the county TO compete.
Other counties will have had their own
preliminaries in their respective coun-

final Judging contest for champion
teams from each county.
Heretofore there has been no limit
of teams from any county. Now each
county is limited to two competing
senior teams and two competing junior
teams in any class. Last year there
were about $50 In the contests.
The Fair officials have granted ad-
ditional space this year to accommodate
