LEAGUE WILL TRY
 NEGOTIATIONS
 IN JAPAN CRISIS
Wants China and Japan to Come Into Consultation Japan Rejects All Proposals
By SAMUEL DAsHIELL

(UnlteU freSS StaM COrreSKDOnueHt)
 Geneva, Oct 19- UP)-The League of Nations council to-day instructed its president, Aristide Briand, to undertake direct nego- tiations with Japan and China for settlement of the Manchurian dis pute.
 League leaders regarded the sit- uation as very much improved.
 Briand was instructed to under take direct negotiations after a secret meeting of twelve member nations of the council and the American observer, Prentiss Gill; bert, the Chinese and Japanese representative were not present.
 It was understood that the coun- cil sought to revise the settlement formula in a manner acceptable to China and Japan and without further public discussions and acrimonious debates.
 Kenkichi Yoshazawa, Japanese delegate. gave the press details of an alleged campaign for the for nation of anti-Japanese associa- tions in Manchuria and the sever ance Of economic relations between China and Japan. He charged that Japanese were prevented from fol- lowing any peaceful occupation and that they often were unable to secure food.
 Yoshizawa said that Japanese store houses were footed. He charged that an effigy of the Jap anese emperor was exhibited with its head downward, along with an executioner's knife.
 The Japanese delegate gave the council a summary of alleged anti Japanese measures in China, prin- cipally in the Yangtze region. The summary stated:
 "Stimulated by nationalist party Chinese authorities, anti-Japanese agitation has reached disquieting proportions for reasons easily im- aginable. The Chinese are seeking to avoid loss of life but are au- thorizing and. encouraging meas ures reaching to fragrant acts of hostility and violating the letter and spirit of international treat ieSv

 been started in view of the serious

New Haven, Conn, Oct 19.-Rare and valuable additions to original materials for the study of history and it's contemporary illustration have just been given to the Sterling Memorial Library at Yale, the uni- versity announced to-day. These consist of broadsides of three proc lamations connected with the re- storation of the Stuarts to the throne of England, and deal with the discovery and apprehension Of the men responsible for the death of Charles I. Two of these broaj- sides were given to the university by a member of the Class of 1899, who prefers to remain anonymous. the third by James B. Keogh, Yale B. A. 1885, of New York city.
 There is peculiar local interest in these items, for the proclama- tions, issued by Charles II, are con- cerned with the fate of two Regi- cides, Generals Edward Whalley and William Goffe who found for six months refuge in New Hd- ven, and of third, Colonel John Dixwell, who lived here for several years. Moreover it was President Ezra Stiles of Yale who, more than a hundred years later published his

Autoist Who Hit Supernumerary Cop
 Fined $25, Costs
Nordhill Nauges of Naugatuck Loses Case in City Court This Morning Figured in Spectacular Mixup on South Main Street

costs. It was also intimated that civil suit will follow.
 Attorney Hummell obtained a conviction notwithstanding the ab- sence of two of the states most important witnesses, including Patrolman John Donahue, a spec tator of the accident. Attorney Martin Gormley of Naugatuck de- tended Nauges and attempted to explain that the rate of speed as testified was far from being wild and reckless" as claimed by the states representative.
 Supernumerary Policeman Men zelle was badly shaken up and bruised as the result of his experi- ence. He spent two days at St Mary's hospital and appeared in court to-day exhibiting marks about the face and head.
 On the evening of October 7th Officer Menzelle was directing traf- fic on South Main street, Q short distance south of City Corners. A few minutes previous before he suffered injuries a serious crash occurred near this intersection. Miss Madeline c. Dillon of 51 AL bion street was painfully hurt when a car. in which she was a passengc~ and operated by Frank E. Hoffman of 54 Gaffney Place crashed into the rear end of a parked truck. She was rushed to the hospital. With autos parked on both sides of South Main street and scores of curious spectators passing from one side of the road to the other Officer Menzelle at- tempted to straighten out the traf- fic jam. He was standing in the center of the street when he was side-swiped by Nauges' car. He was tossed to one side of the highway and temporarily stunned. Nauges continued on for a distance ot nearly 200 feet before coming to a standstill. He claimed that he was unable to pull to one side because of the number of cars parked on both sides of the street.
 State witnesses placed Nauges speed at 25 miles an hour. The ac. cused admitted that he was trav. cling between 15 and 20 miles. He and his sister and a Miss Mildred Allen of Naugatuck were on their way to the dance pavilion at Ham. ilton Park. Nauges admitted that he saw the numerous cars parked and observed people running back and forth on the street and re. duced the speed of his machine. He did not observe the officer unti within a few feet of him and unti Miss Allen shouted Look out fol the cop"
 Prosecuting Attorney Hummel attacked the defense's evidence and stated that as the young mar admitted on his own accord tha he knew something had happened by the number of parked cars ant the number of people about tn, scene that he should have exer cised greater caution. Under tn, circumstances which existed at tn, time he claimed that Nauges wa guilty of reckless driving. Twent, miles an hour or thirty-five mile an hour is not excessive ordinaril, the prosecuting attorney admitted but in this particular case. 1t wa nothing short of a fragrant disre gard of the rights of pedestrians. Attorney Gormley pleaded fo leniency for the young man, stat ing that he had a splendid reputa tion in Naugatuck and had nevel been arrested before.

Japan Is Defiant

Tokio, Oct 19-UP)-The Jap- anese government to-day instructed its representative at Geneva Ken kichi Hoshizawa. to reject pro- posals madle by the League of Ma tions council for settlement of the Manchurian dispute.
 The government considered re- quests for assurances that Japan would withdraw troops from Man. churia within three weeks and be- gin direct negotiations with China in one week as "still indicating suspicion of Japan's motives, which Is intolerable."
 It was understood that Japan would make no concessions at Geneva and would insist that her soldiers acted in self defense in Manchuria. Any attempt of the league to employ an economic boy colt was regarded as certain to cause Japan's resignation from the league council.
