consider the proposal when 1t is pre-
sented in definite written form.
The Chinese insisted, however, that
evacuation of Manchuria by Japanese
troops be made a condition Of any in
vestigation. The Japanese spokesman
said his government was ready to
Withdraw It's troops as soon as 1t is
assured that japanese nationals IN
Manchuria r safe.
The conflict over evacuation OF
Manchurta was not removed, but con-
ciliatory expressions by both the
Chinese and Japanese spokesman
created a more hopeful atmosphere
and gave rise to a belief In some quar-
tiers that an agreement soon may be
reached.
Tokyo had reports from Mukden
Manchuria, that $4,000 Chinese troops
are concentrating in the region OF
Chinchow and authoritative circles
gave this as one reason why the
japanese government considered q
truce, based upon troop Withdrawals
as "unthinkable."

TO DECIDE WHETHER
0STER CAN APPEAL
Man Serving Term for Second
Degree Murder Attempts
To Get New Trial

A hearing to determine whether
Jacob Oster, serving a 25-year prison
sentence for second-degree murder,
Is entitled to appeal his case has been
set for Sept. 8 before the state SUI
preme court.
He was convicted July I. 1880, in
Emmons county district court and has
been serving his sentence since that
date.
Arthur Atkins, Napoleon, special
assistant attorney general who aided
In the prosecutor Of Oster, filed with
the court an order to dismiss the ap-
peal on the grounds that more than q
year has elapsed since the date Of
Judgment and more than six months
have elapsed since date Of service Of
notice Of appeal. The court issued
an order for hearing to have Oster
show cause why the appeal should not
be dismissed.
Oster was charged with killing John
Peterson near Hazelton March "a.
Oster claimed he shot Peterson be-
cause the latter had alienated his
wife's affections. +.
Mrs. Oster, who had obtained a d..
vorce from her husband q month be-
fore the killing, was working as
Peterson's housekeeper when the
shooting occurred. A few days before
the trial opened she remarked Oster.
She was the only witness to the
shooting, but could not be called by
the state to testify because she was
the wife Of the defendant.
The state had asked for . first
degree murder conviction, but the
Jury, after IA hours elaboration, re-
turned . verdict for second-degree
murder.

FINANCIAL PROGRAM
B~olstsred by $500, 900, 900
Credit From United States
and French Bankers

London, Aug. 29.-R-Bolstered by
q $400. 000, 900 credit from bankers Of
the United States and France, the
national government Saturday placed
in the hands Of committees its parlia-
mentary program for restoring Brit
ih finances to the right side Of the
ledger.
the United States and France. the
technical means to be used In bal
ancing the budget and the other was
concerned with the procedure to be
used in pushing the measures though
the house Of commons. Both will re-
port to the cabinet Monday when
Prime Minister Macdonald returns
from Scotland to begin his task anew.
At the same time the government
put into effect the first of q number
Of drastic curtailments in expendi-
lures. The salaries Of 100000 civil
service employees wer cut to effect an
annual saving Of $4,000 900. The
royal investigating commission had
~counseled against such reductions
but the government decided to leave
no stone unturned to achieve econo-
mics.
It was evident from Fridays events
that the entire Conservative party and
most of the Liberals would line up In
the commons behind the government
and that the whole weight Of the
Laborites, with the exception OF a
small group Of right-wingers, would
form the opposition. ,
The governments majority will
range between 40 and SIS votes, an
adequate though not comfortable
margin in normal times. However,
IN view Of the mixed team that Mac
Donald Is driving, Issues may be
raised that will tax the loyalty Of the
Conservatives and Liberals.
The extraordinary r~eticence of the
treasury and the Bank Of England
regarding the Franco-American credit
led some critics to demand that these
institutions take the nation into full
er confidence.
Other quarters saw in the treasury's
statement on the loan the hope and
even the belief in official circles that
it would not be necessary for Great
Britain actually tn use the full credit
and that the mere knowledge of its
existence would have a profound ef-
feet in restoring confidence in sterl-
ing on the markets of the world.
Macdonald has been expelled from
the Hampstead Labor Party "for join
ing an anti-Socialist government
formed for the purpose Of forcing
through parliament anti = working
class legislation."
