KALGAN, Chahar Province, China,
June 21.-The bloodlesS advance of
Japanese influences into Chahar and
inner Mongolia threatened today, in
the opinion Of foreigners, to choke of
the last remaining link between China
and its former dependency Of outer
Mongolia.
Responsible foreign travellers as
serted mission" of IL Japanese mill
tary men has been established 200
miles west of the Manchukuan border
and directly on the centuries-old cara
van trail between Kalgan and Urga,
capital of outer Mongolia.
Increased Japanese activity in inner
Mongolia has stimulated military pre-
paredness in this area and the popu-
lation of the little frontier settlement
has jumped from 200 to 1000, includ-
ing Mongol troops and few Russian
advisers.
Restrictions against caravans seek
ing to cross the border from China
have become increasingly severe.
Of1cials of the trading concern,
"Wostwag," which monopolizes the
enormous caravan traffic under an
agreement with the outer Mongolian
government, said the future of this
international commerce was highly
uncertain.
The acting manager here, German
named Fischbein, said japanese au-
thorities were becoming increasingly
interested in his company's activities.

HOUGHTON LAKE, Mich, June
21.-Robert B. Goodman, one of the
largest timber operators in Wisconsin,
suggested to the Central States For
estry Conference last night public
ownership of all timber lands suitable
for forestry in the Great Lakes States.
Goodman declared that private
ownership of timber lands had proved
wasteful and undeserving.
THE unrestrained right to the de-
structive harvesting of these forests
should never have passed into the
hands Of private interests" he said.
Goodman said there was no founda-
ton for the belief that there was even
a scarcity of timber, let alone a timber
famine.

out today to bar all minors from the
court room as the State prepared 10
introduce the confessions Of three
burlesque dancers on trial with Will
liam Lee Ferris for the murder Of
Howard Carter Dickinson, New York
lawyer.
The order against minors was Is
sued by Judge John A. Boyne after
the prosecution revealed in a state
ment credited to Ferris the details Of
a strip poker" party that allegedly
paved the way for the plot to Kill
Dickinson for his money in q lonely
park on June ~.
Confession by Dancers.
Today's disclosures, Prosecutor
Duncan C. McCrea said, will be taken
from the confessions Of the dancers,
Loretta and Florence jackson. and
Jean Miller.
His previous announcements quoted
the Jackson sisters as describing how
one of them smiled at the staid New
York counsellor in a hotel dining
room, accepted his offer Of round
of drinks and then arranged parties.
Dickson was pictured as the loser
at the strip poker" party in the Fer
ris statement given to the jury Fri
day. 1t also brought out the details
of how Ferris talked with the Jack
sor siSterS about trolling" the law
yer on the assumption that his
appearance and connections indicated
he had plenty of money in his pocket
The Ferris statement read Friday
quoted Ferris as telling his party
girl" companions: I'VE will go for a
ride in the country and on the way
back We will stop. get him out Of the
car and shoot him."
Unaware Of Plotting"
Jean Miller did not come into the
plot until the night Dickinson started
on his fatal ride into Rouge Park
and defense attorneys contend she
knew nothing of the reputed plan TO
kill him
The Ferris statement quoted the
defendant as saying he told Mrs.
Miller that he was going to use q gun
on Dickinson and that her reply was
Il will stick with you"
If the prosecution completes the
direct case early today the defense
plans to send Ferris TO the witness

Clark wasn't sure whether Lange

him from the jail while the cells were
searched.
Twelve other prisoners were in the
Jail at the time, but they were all on

MUENSTER, Germany. August s.
A Catholc priest, Hans Budenbrock,
faced retrial today on a charge of
sighting Nazi leadership although he
was acquitted of the accusation by a
local court three months ago.
Budenbrock, in a sermon in Aug

AT all events the morality of the
Old Testament stands higher than
that of many who nowadays claim
leadership"
The public prosecutor carried the
case to the Supreme Court, for the
purpose of determining whether the
sermon referred to present leaders
instead of those liquidated in the
blood purge" of last year as the
priest claimed.
