League of Nations Council. TO maintain
his opposition to participation by an
unofficial American observer in the
Councils deliberations on the Sino-
Japanese troubles in Manchuria.
Kenkichi will continue to base his
stand on the claim that such partici-
patton by a non-member of the League
is contrary to the League covenant, as
interpreted by the highest Japanese
legal opinion. This is the announced
attitude of Premier Wakatsuki. with
Foreign Minister Shidehara concurring.
The foreign Office issued this official
statement: The japanese government
appreciates and does not doubt the eff
forts of the United States Government
to maintain world peace, but it is I'M
precedented to grant permission to a
non-member of the League to attend
the Councils sessions and participate
in its deliberations, and such measure
is not provided in the articles of the
League covenant An invitation to an
American representative would force a
change in the composition OF the Coun-
Gil and violate the covenant
The Leagues recognition of such an
invitation as a routine procedure sub
ject to voting is doubted, and the Japa-
nese government Will request the
League to reconsider this point. Mr..

aspect of the situation"
The government is anxiously await
ing the reaction of the United States to
this stand. Observers here believe the
Wakatsuki cabinets position was I'M
doubtedly forced upon it by the military
clique which is still debating Japan S
policy in Manchuria and has tied the

STAPLES INQUIRY
| NEARS COMPLETION
Committee of Lawyers Hopes
to Finish Probe of Grand
Jury Charges Next Week.

The Special Committee of lawyers
appointed by the District Commissioners
to investigate the grand jury's charges
against the Police Department in the
Staples case, 1t was learned today, ex-
poets to complete its work by the mid
die of next week.
In an effort to finish the inquiry as
soon as possible the committee has been
working on an average Of seven hours
a day, holding many night sessions in
the ONCE of Henry p. Blair, chairman.
OF more than a score OF witnesses all
but several are said to have been ques-
toned, providing the investigators with
virtually a complete picture of the
Staples case and the subsequent action
of the July grand jury in attacking the
Police Department.
Schenck Remains Adamant.
Former Policeman Frederick A.
Schenck is one of the several witnesses
who have not yet testified, and he re-
mains adamant in his refusal not to be
questioned unless witnesses are present
The committee, 1t is understood. will
make no further effort to interview him
unless he changes his attitude.
Schenck is regarded as the principal
witness because 1t was his testimony
before the July grand jury which re-
report charging that former Policeman
Staples was victim of frame up"
and recommending his reinstatement
and punishment Of those responsible for
his dismissal.
The committee, however. is said to
feel that Schenck's testimony Is not
absolutely essential, since it has in its
possession a stenographic report of the
statements he made at the trial of
0ddiftAy1
has the story of Schencks subsequent
confession of his part in the alleged
"frame-up" of Staples, drawn from
| members Of the grand jury who already
have been questioned.
witnesses Given Free Hand.
The committee, 1t is understood, has
made no attempt to restrict the wit
| nesses it has called, but on the con-
! trary has permitted them to tell every
thing they know. Naturally this pro-
cedure has prolonged the investigation
somewhat, but will preclude. 1t is be-
lieved, the probability of charge that
| the committee did not make an ex-
haustive inquiry.
Several of the witnesses already have
let it become known that they were
ure and were satisfied that the find-
ings of the committee would be fair
and impartial These include Former
Policeman Staples and Robert j. Allen,
also a former policeman.
Staples declared he was particularly
impressed with the thoroughness of
the inquiry, and said he expected "a
fair deal"
AS soon as the committee completes
the investigation it will submit a re-
port to the Commissioners containing
its findings. The Commissioners then
will determine whether there Is basis
| for prosecution of any of the police
officers involved in the investigation of
the Staples case three years ago, which
| led to his dismissal from the force.

PRATT ASKS PUBLIC
TO Defer JUDGMENT
Police Head Urges Fairness Pend
ing Trial of Men Accused
of Brutality.

The public should suspend judgment
as to the innocence or guilt of the Is
policemen indicted by the grand Jury
today on brutality charges pending the
outcome of the trial of these officers,
Maj. Henry G Pratt, superintendent of
police, declared today.
There are two sides to every story
Maj. Pratt pointed out, and the grand
jury based It's action on only one side
evidence gathered by the Department
of Justice and other investigators. The
officers involved In the various third
degree cases, he said, likely will have a
defense, which may result in their
vindication.
Maj. Pratt made it clear that he was
not endeavoring to support the police
men charged with brutality, but merely
desired that the public give them the
same benefit as the law-regard them
as innocent until proven guilty.
