three Of the organizations dictators

that checks of the insult holding con-
Germ, the Middle West Utilities Co.,
were juggled to cover up the fact that
funds of the organization were used
to protect Martin insults private bro

Bank Paid Brokers.
The evidence, according to Swanson,
shows that, instead Of the Middle West
Co. making direct payments to Jackson
Bros. & Bossel Co. Martin insults
brokers. the money was first forwarded
to bank after some arrangement was
made in conference. Then the bank
sent its own checks to the brokerage
firm with instruction that the money
be applied to Martin insults trading
account.
In this way. Swanson said. the In

utility company funds in stock trading.
Two specific instances OF such practices

ing the payment of $4,000.

tarily"

ASKS |. c. c. TO VOID
STATES RAIL LAW
Examiner U rges Invaldation OF
Pennsylvania Long and Short
Haul Provision.

BY the Associated Press
Howard Hosrner, an examiner today
recommended that the Interstate Com
merce Commission declare imperative
the long and short haul freight pro-
vision in the Pennsylvania State Con-
stitution
He found that railroads are being
forced to haul freight at lower. rates
within Pennsylve mia than between in
terstate points o. similar distances
Inserted in 1873.
The provision was inserted in the
Constitution in 1873. when Pennsyl-
vania's last basic law was adopted.
This particular constitutional pro-
vision" said the examiner, lis vestige
Of form of railroad regulation which
f1ourished in 1873 when the Pennsyl-
vania Constitution was adopted, but has
long since outlived whatever usefulness
it may have had half century or more
age"
He said the attitude OF the shippers
of the State is that the provision is not
necessary and the process of repeating
the provision already has been set In
motion.
Approved by One Legislature.
Under Pennsylvania law, constitu-
tional amendments must pass two sue
cessive Legislatures and then be sub
mitted to popular vote. A proposition
to repeal the long and short haul pro-
vision has been approved by one Legis-
lature.
He also said that three of the State
Supreme Court justices. including the
chief justice, are of the view that the
provision should be held inapplicable tc
present conditions.
This is the first time in the al
most half century the Interstate Com
merce Commission has been in exist
ence that a State regulation brought
into issue is a constitutional provision.

stand When the alternate was called.
the court discovered there was an error
and that he should have named juror
IS instead of a. He was .Weintraub,
broker of 1235 Park avenue
Weintraub denied the assertion that
he had said any of the witnesses were
living. He said he did comment that
some of the witnesses were funny and
that he did make comments on some
of the attorneys.
The other jurors were then called to
the stand and asked if they had heard
Weintraub making any comments on
the evidence The first five had not.
Judge Coleman himself questioned all
Of the witnesses. Moore sat in the
witness box with his eyes glued to the

At this point Moore decided he want

me-" said the court.
In a cracked, nervous voice, Moore
swore that Weintraub told him and
other jurors that the witnesses were
lying.
All of the other jurors had contra

juror No. 13 is unjustified," Judge Cole
man said when Moore finished his tes-
tifying. He is completely exonerated." !"
To juror 7. Mr.. Moore, l find his

moment it was not evil or mercenary.
1t was in direct violation Of my detailed
instructions to you A l0-year old

improper 1t wasted two weeks Of the

Great injury has been done to the
defendant and to the Government. 1t
necessitates the defendant standing trial
again.
Il will adjourn at this time and give
you opportunity to see If you desire
counsel.
There must be warning to all
jurors" shouted the court, that in

Moore quoted Weintraub as saying
why dent the witness tell the truth?
We all know that Senator Davis

they're all the same"
Who said that, Weintraub?" the

Moore pointed to Weintraub
Another time" he continued, "Wein-

Moore told the court he did not want

OPINION DIFFERS
0NLYTT0N REPORT
Hope for Settlement Seen.
While Other Quarters Con-
denim Findings.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, october 3-Ths British
government declined to comment even
informally through the press today re-
garding the Lytton Commission report
On the Far East.
Rarely have the spokesmen Of Down
ing street been SO reticent regarding an
international situation. but 1t was
stated at the foreign Office that while
Sir John Simon. the foreign secretary
remains in Geneva his intentions re-
garding expression Of the British view
point are not known here. Sir John Is
attending the disarmament negotiations
and the League deliberations.
Expected to Accept Report.
One unofficial view was that Great
Britain naturally will accept the report
inasmuch as Lord Lytton, British
peer. was chairman OF the commission
and that this government will back the
League in trying to make the report
effective
The official reticence here, it was
thought. probably is due in part to op-
posing views of powerful sections OF
public opinion regarding Manchuria as
voiced in the press.
Most papers praised what they said
was the exhaustive and thorough CHAR
acter Of the report. but there was con-
siderable skepticism about the League
Of Nations ability to act on its recon-
mendations.
The Times raised question OF doubt
over whether Japan would be able 10
stand the strain of its undertaking IN
Manchuria and predicted the possibility
that the Japanese people eventually
would share the commissions conclu-
sion that disregard of the feelings OF
the Manchurians would not ultimately
serve the permanent interests OF Japan.
The Telegraph said if solution had
to wait on the results Of international
cooperation in the reconstruction OF
China. it would wait 'long enough
Government Condemned.
The liberal News-C Chronicle. however,
condemned the British government for
handling the Manchurian question
feebly and failing to take line which
might have joined Great Britain and
the United States in a definite policy
which the other powers would have ac-
cepted and Japan respected"
Most of all, 1t said. 1t is important
that this country and the United States
keep step"
The Daily Mail indicated strong SYM
pathy with Japan and said: Britain
doesn't mean to be involved in any anti
Japanese proceedings"
"Japan's presence in MAnchuria," 1t
added. lis as salutary as that OF Great
Britain In India
The Labor Herald said the report es-
tablished that Japan is guilty of a
great international crime and that the
excuses made for it are baseless and
invalid"
The Manchester Guardian said the
recognition Of Manchukuo by Japan
need not and must not be allowed to
achieve what was its principal aims,
namely, the defeat OF the Lytton re-
port"
Armed force. 1t said. remains the final
arbiter If all other machinery fails. but
such a method should be resisted at all
costs, for the repercussion would be felt
in the West no less than in the East.

BY GEN. NoBUYOsHI MuTo.

Supreme Japanese Military and Diplomats
Representative in Manchuria.
MUKDEN. October 8 CP).-Irrespec-
tive of the findings OF the Lytton Com
mission. Japan vii pursue its already
established policies in Manchuria
In cooperation with the government
of Manchukuo We shall preserve the
peace in Manchuria No third party
viii be allowed to alter this high resolve.
We will willingly cooperate with the
League of Nations for the attainment
of world peace, but TO change the pres
ent status Of Manchukuo would only
disturb the peace of the Orient.
The Lytton report contains many un-
fortunate misunderstanding and mis-
conceptions.
Declared Self-Defense.
Japan's action in Manchuria. on Sep
tember l8 last year the date of the
outbreak of hostilities at Mukden). was
in self-defense. Our action must not
be judged by third disinterested party
The allegation by the Lytton Com
mission that there is no spontaneous
independence movement in Manchuria
can be based only on willful propaganda
by the old militaristic regime.
1t is totally wrong for the commits
sion to say that the presence of the
Japanese army in Manchuria and the
activities of Japanese civil and military
authorities constituted the decisive
cause by which Manchukuo was estab-
lished.
Held Free VIII Of People.
Manchukuo was organized by the free
will of the people whose minos nat
urally were set at ease by the presence
of the Japanese army
The report rightly says that restora-
ton of Manchuria to the status it had
before the entrance of the Japanese
army would only create fresh trouble
BY the same reasoning We can say
that restoration Of Manchuria to the
status it had prior to March l twhen
Manchukuo declared its independence
will lead to nothing but fresh disturb
ances.
I repeat that neither the League OF
Nations nor any other power can
change our determination to pursue our
established aims in Manchuria.
