 Meanwhile, a momentous confer cnce of Chinese military and civil authorities gathered in the offices of Mayor Wu Tch-Chen in the na- l two area. It seems 10 me they have decided on a desperate eTort to bring nome semblanca of unity out of the chaos in government and meet the Japanese with solid front.

 General ChianE kuanH-Nai, Of the Chinese military command de- lending the city, was one of the prominent army leaders present nt the conference that convened shortly after 1t was reported tho Chinese army might consider with drawing If tho wealthy Chinese bankers and merchants inside tho settlement paid them. The sum mentioned in these rumors for their word not to attack the settle mcnt was $10.000,000 Shanghai dollars (roughly $2,500.0o0 in U. s. currency).
 The conference was in constant communication with Shanghai bankers, as well as members of the Loyang government" clique still ht Ranking. They wired Wang Chin-Wci, left wing leader. who is residing aboard railway conch nt Pukow, across from Ranking on the north bank of the Yangtze river. He is nominally head of the executive Yuan and thus chief executive of the present Bsmblance of government, and is known AS Il radical.
 Persons in the conference at Mayor Wu's offices represented every shade of political opinion, from extreme conservative to scmi- CommunistI.
 The Loyhng government issued T mandate appointing Marshal Fcng Yu-HpihnR. Christian gen cral' of varied career, home min ister, and made Wang Ching Wei also minister of railways in addi- ton to his other posts.

 It is a generally accepted fact that former State Chairman Walsh of Meriden will be the head of the Connecticut faction. It is also agreed that Connecticut will not send a united Roosevelt delegation to the national convention. This means that promises made by Ma tlonaI Committeeman Archibald McNcil to Kooscvclt of a solid Con- necticut delegation are about to be found bagelcBs. Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, pr F.. G. Dolan of Man chester and Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone of New Haven have also Benged the loss of Connecticut as q solid unit for Roosevelt, 1t is understood.
 Ex- Chairman Walsh said to-day: "All the people of Connecticut wanted was contained in MT Smiths statement to day, following his an- nouncement of yesterday. We do, not expect him to make canvass for delegates; we'll take care of that. His position is plain enough to his friends" MT Walsh also stressed the fact that Governor Cross is not q candidate for gover- nor with the usual headquarters, money canvass and 50 forth. but he will be "caIled upon" to lead the party once moro in the fall convcn- ton.

 rant two weeks ago, Attorney Gager quoted from the statutes of the state wherein 1t reads that q person under 1G, accused of q crime as serious as the one in ques- tion, is taken into custody, he must Do considered a juvenile and be dealt with in q juvenile court.
 Judge Peasley states in his de- cision that the general assembly has no judicial power in stating whether or not a person may be found guilty of a serious crime.
 The decision reads: "The deter minatlon of whether or not a per- son capable of committing q crime and whether or not such person has in fact committed q crime, is n judicial act and the Judicial power of the state is vested by the Constitution of Connecticut in the supreme court of errors, the supe- rior court and such inferior courts as the general assembly shall from time to time ordain and establish.
 "The general assembly might very well establish q rule of evi- dence that h person under 1S years of ago would be primn facic pre- surned to be incapable of commit ting the crime of rnpe, but when It undertakes to prescribe q rule of law that no person under tho age of 16 years may be found guilty of this crime. 1t therefore attempts to exercise Judicial power and no judicial power is vested by the constitution in the general as- sembly.
 'Tnsofar, then. as the general as- sembly attempted to conclusivcIy determine the nge under which crime could not be committed 1t acted outside of It's legislative sphere.
 "The superior court therefore has Jurisdiction to try any person accused of the crime of rape. The motion to auash is denied. Tho demurrer to the plea to the jurls- diction is sustained"
 The demurrer to the pleas ns to JurisdictiOn was filed by States At- torncy Lawrence l.. Lewis who ar- gued that the superior court has Jurlsd1ction when q crime as seri- ous as rape or murder is com mitted. The motion to auagh the charge against Ebert was filed by Attorney Gager.
 It js not expected that Ebert l will be brought to court for several weeks yet. inhsmuch AS 1t Is un- derstood that there might be an ap- peal taken by Attorney Gager on Judge PenBley's decision.

 Heavy losses were reported on both sides. The Chinese advanced through the shell holes and bIackened ruins of Chapel, just over the border of the international settle ment. Their artillery fire flung countless shells into the fringes of the foreign area. Many landed well within the boundary during a day of re- newed terror.
 I tried to get an accurate list of casualties from both sides but headquarters re- fused to give out the figures. There is no doubt the dead and wounded ran high, but responsible authorities re- fused to accept obviously wild estimates heard on all sides. You can get new figures of that sort hourly.
 At 7:45 p. m. (6:45 a. m. EST), the fighting waned on the Chapel sector. It ended q day of the most severe bat ting in the fortnight of the fight for Shanghai.
