from the District Jail this afternoon
under reduced bond of $50 1000.
Means was freed after a two-day
argument over the amount and charac-

tor, in District Supreme Court, cut the
bond in half over the objection of
United States Attorney Leo A Rover,
but granted the request of the latter
that more than one bondsman be held
responsible for the full amount.

Means refused TO answer any ques-

he hoped now to get in touch with the

The news that Means was coming into
court to make bond drew quite a gal

Rover had asked for four bonds

concurred in the courts suggestion that
two be provided.

TOXIC, May 1.-THE japanese gov

troops from Shanghai, ending with an
unexpected suddenness a situation
which for four months has threatened
the peace of the world.
The announcement was made by a
government spokesman at midday. He
said the cabinet made the decision at a

The matter was laid before Emperor
Hirohito this afternoon and approved
by him. after which the general staff
telegraphed orders to Gen. Shirakawa,
japanese Army commander at Shang-
hal to hold all army forces there in
readiness to return to Japan. The
spokesman said the movement was ex-
pected to be completed within a month.
From then on, the spokesman said,
Japan expected the United States and
other powers interested in Shanghai to
see to it that the terms of the recently
signed truce agreement were observed
by China.
The troops would be held in readiness
to return should a genuine emergency"
demand it, he emphasized, but he added
that the government in the future
would probably be slow to decide such
an emergency existed and would not
consider minor infractions of the truce
by the Chinese reason for dispatching
troops.
THE decision is due to the japanese
governments desire to conform to world
opinion" he said "and to prove that
Japan had no territorial or other ul-
terror motives in sending the troops to
Shanghai"

HOOVER LAUNCHES
SENATE PROGRAM
FOR ECONOMY BILL
BIPARTISAN Breakfast Pro-

RiddIed by House.
BY the Associated Press.


At bipartisan White House break
fast with members of the new Senate
Economy Committee, President Hoover
today set under way new money-sav-
ing program in the Senate along the
same lines as that riddled by the House.
The drive specifically is aimed at a
goal of saving 100000, 900 or more
through reduced appropriations and
governmental consultations.
Many of the items of the original
House economy bill were discussed, in
cluding the five-day week and payless
furlough plan for Federal employees.
Secretary of the Treasury Mills was
appointed spokesman for the group
breakfasting with the President, a role
he has assumed following all of the
series Of recent White House confer
enceS.
Asked what had happened, he stated
slowly. apparently picking HIS words
with care: e>s~s---
I'VE discussed economy along the
lines Of seeing how, through an omni-
bus economy bill, reductions in appro-
prtations and authority for govern
mental consultations, savings of $780,
100000 or more can be effected for the
fiscal year 1888"

portico, as he spoke. nodding in affr-

work with the committee which began

the White House.

gestions to the senators and left the

improvement projects which the high
way department had planned to execute
with the $288, 900 will necessarily be de-
layed for at least a year, unless the
Senate restores the items.
A strange phase of the cut is that
the $288, 900 was not figured in the re-
auctions the House ordered to offset the
$4,000, 900 decrease in the Federal con-
tribution. AS result the S288, 900

TARIFF MEASURE

Flexible Clauses.

President Hoover today vetoed the
Democratic tariff bill, which would
have altered the flexible provision
by removing from the Chief Execu-

change import duty rates.

The measure does several things op-

them it restores to Congress the power
