MARCHERS DEPART
WITH THREAT TO
RETURN IN SPRING
All OF Motley Demonstrators
Leave Footsore and Resent
full Over Failure.

Footsore and resentful over Washing
toms reception, the army of $500 un-
employed demonstrators retreated today
to the far-flung regions whence it
came, threatening to return again in
the Spring with force superior In
strength to any the Police Department

noon all of them had sputtered fare

the tension of an overworked police
force was relaxed.
Instead OF II trucks and cars which
brought the demonstrators to Washing

home in. Some of the drivers who left
yesterday without passengers said they

Breakfast this morning was the last
free meal prepared for the marchers
and last nights lodging was the last
housing available. Likewise, their un-
successful program had been completed
and there was nothing left for them
to do but return home.
None Remain in Capital.
Contrary to expectations none of the
demonstrators remained in Washing
ton to augment its ranks of unem-
pioyed. All who came here, police
learned, were elected delegates to the
unemployment convention and must 20

LEM IS LEADING
CULBERTSON Its
Each Side Is Convinced Its
System Is Superior After
Opening Tilt.
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 8.-Sidney
S. Lenz and his partner, Oswald
Jacoby, playing the "offlcial' system,
were 1,715 points In the lead today in
their 15o-rubber contract bridge match
against Mr.. and Mrs. Ely Culbertson
and the Culbertson system.
Lenz and Jacoby made the greater
score in each of three rubbers played
in the initial session, which lasted 2
hours and 48 minutes, ending at 1885
am. today. In each of the first two
rubbers they won bonus for taking
two games. In the third rubber the
Culbertsons took two games and with
it rubber bonus, yet because of sets
given them, the point total of their
opponents increased. Even after the
Culbertsons themselves were perplexed,
experts agreed that technically under
the rules the winner of rubber is the
one with the greater score, regardless
OF who takes two games.
Each Holds to Own System.
Each side remained convinced to-
day that its system was the better.
Culbertson said Lenz and Jacoby had
"dreadnaughts" in card holdings and
that If the cards were reversed the
Culbertsons would have made more
than 1000 points. Lenz insisted that
If he and Jacoby had played the Gull
bertsons' cards the proponents of the
official system" would be plus just
the same.
Each side found support in individual
hands for It's theories of bidding. Cul-
bertson was especially critical of the
failure of his opponents to bid more.
Lenz answered that in some cases
doubling by his side would have driven
the Culbertsons to other suits and sue
cessful contracts instead Of sets on in
ferior bids. Lenz was amazed at the
Culbertsons' slowness of play.
All agreed on one thing-that there
was nothing sensational in handling of

HEAD OF CUBAN JUNTA
DERIDES PEACE MOVES
DR.. Domingo Mendez Capote Says
Understanding With Machado
Impossible.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, December 8.--Dr. Do
mingo Mendez Capote, head of the Gu.
ban Revolutionary Junta in New York,
yesterday decided what he termed the
"cordiality conferences" now being held
in Cuba between representatives Of the
Machado administration and leaders Of
the August revolution.
DR.. Mendez Capote, vice president of
the Cuban republic from 1902 to 1906,
is here to confer with other supporters
of the revolution.
Asserting that the Revolutionary
Junta in New York is visited with pow
ers from all Cuban factions opposing
the Machado government, DR.. Mendez
Capote said:
THE cordiality conferences now be-
ing held in Havana are most amusing
considering that the administration has
not constituted any authorized delega-
ton thereto. None Of the attendants to
the so-called cordiality talks represent
any one but themselves"
The Junta leader said the Cuban peo-
pie are determined to reach an under
standing as to their government but
tnat there is no possible understanding
with Machado."

PLAN FOR NEUTRAL
ZONE IN CH|NCHOW
AREA ABANDONED
League, Finding Agreement
on Terms Impossible, May
Back Status Quo.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 8.-The League of
Nations Council today appeared vir-
tually to have abandoned the plan to
establish an official neutral zone be-
tween the Chinese and japanese ar
mics in the Chinchow area since agree-
ment on its terms has been found i'm
possible
American Ambassador Charles q.
Dawes made an appointment to confer
with Chairman Aristide BRAND at The
Quai D'Orsay this afternoon or this
evening, to bring the American Gov
ernment into FUN understanding with
the final details of the resolution.
The resolution, which may be
ready for final adoption tomorrow, is
likely to recognize the status quo and
to express the hope that both sides
will refrain from disturbing the COM
parative peace which now exists in
Southern Manchuria.
In view of the council the neutral
zone already exists In fact, the Chinese
are left in possession of Chinchow and
the Japanese have promised not to at
tack that city.
Some Anxiety Felt.
The japanese, however, have not
withdrawn their demand that Chinchow
be evacuated and the possible results of
this demand are causing some anxiety
in international quarters.
The committee drafting the Coun-
cils resolution consulted DR.. Alfred SEE,
the Chinese delegate, today and gave
tentative approval to the inclusion by
Aristide BRAND In his preliminary dec
laration of some reference to bandits in
Manchuria and measures for sup
pressing their activities. Yesterdays
plan to permit a Japanese reservation
On that matter has been dropped, for
neutral members of the Council would
not let it pass without formal reserva-
tions Of their own.
Membership Unsettled.
AS 1t is now formulated, the resolution
provides for commission of inquiry in
Manchuria with five or six members. 1t
seems likely that the members will in
clude German, an Italian, an English
man, Frenchman and an American
There has been some talk of including
representative OF a smaller neutral
state.
What authority the resolution will
give the commission to report on the
the progress of the evacuation Is still a
matter for speculation, but members of
the Council said they hoped this and
other details would be arranged in time
for final public meeting tomorrow or
Thursday.

Just what the old phrase, "dress-

dramatic hit, High Stakes" at the
Capitol Theatre.
Miss Murray, long celebrated as
one of the screens most brilliant

Dressing to kill men," she de-
clared, means dressing to paralyze
their resistance, bowl them over, at

But. dressing to kill women Is q
higher and difficult art. It is calcu-
