moral persuasion of warnings
and admonitions to American
foreign traders.
Government reports compiled
since the embargo and the various
warnings were issued by the Presi-

Italy of oil, particularly, have in
creased heavily, and that exports of
copper, trucks, tractors, scrap iron

extent.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 16-Ten thou
sand japanese troops were concen-
trated today at Chin-C Chow.
Three thousand japanese soldiers
arrived yesterday at Shanhaikwan,
where the Great Wall comes dow
to the sea, northeast of Tientsin.
simultaneously the japanese de-
stroyer, Tsuti arrived at Tangku,
down-river port of Tientsin.
These extensive movements in the
Tientsin-Peiping area have added
greatly to the nervousness of the
Chinese, both because of sino-Jap-
anese tension and because of the
persistence of reports that an au-
tonomy movement is about to be
launched in North China. Chinese
loyal to the Marking government
have declared openly that this
movement was being fostered by
Japan, preliminary to cutting of
the five northern provinces of China
much as Manchuria was separated.

Pfaff Associate TestifieS
Credit Tales Led to
Firms Downfall.
RESUMES STORY TODAY
Closing of New York and
Chicago Brokerage Houses
Also Blamed.

Myron M. Hughel, once presl-
dent of Pfaff 81 Hughel, stepped to
the witness stand again today in
Federal Court to resume his story
of events leading to the firms fail
ure last April.
In his two hours on the stand
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Hughel
traced his firms difficulties, which
he said, began with credit restric-
tons in the fall of 1884 caused BIZ
closing of large New York and
Chicago brokerage concern. subse-
quent efforts to arrange for other
credit connections and rumorS
about the condition of Pfaff 81
Hughel which he said led to the
bankruptcy.
On Trial on Six Counts
With Walter P. Pfaff, Mr..
Hughel is on trial on six counts of
a mail fraud indictment.
Pfaf e. Hughel losses in the clos
ing of the New York and Chicago
firm were about 100000, Mi.
Hughel said, and efforts 20 establish
other credit connections caused fur
Their losses.
Shortly before the BANKRUPTCY
realizing they were unable to meet
demands Pfaff 81 Hughel opened
2 No. 2 account at the Indiana Ma
tlonal Bank to protect accounts of
all new customers. The bank agreed
to hold funds in the new account
inviOlate, Mr.. Hughel said. Most
creditors had agreed to be patient
he declared.
Tells Corporation History
In the first hour on the stand
Mr.. Hughel gave a brief history of
the corporation, went minutely
into the mechanics of sales and
trades, discussed the debtcr-credi-
tor relationship as applied to in
vestment house dealings with
customers and told of the Pfaf g.
Hughel banking and credit con-
nectionS.
He spoke slowly, choosing his
words with care, and addressed the
jury directly.
Earlier in the day T. P. Burke,
president of T. P. Burke e. Co, Inc,
told Of a meeting on the day pre-
Ceding the bankruptcy attended by
himself and officers of Pfaf &
Hughel. Plans were made, he said.
whereby officers and statesmen of
Pfaf e. Hughel were to work out
of the T. P. Burke Offices as sales
men with SO per cent of the net
profits of the merged efforts to go
into fund to pay Pfaff & Hughel
creditors.
Events Baked Plan
Subsequent developments made
the arrangement impossible, Mr..
Burke said.
Also appearing for the defense
yesterday were several character
witnesses and a number of former
customers who said their dealings
with Pfaff e. Hughel had been sat
isfactory.
Val Nolan, United States district
attorney, objected to the testimony
of satisfied customers.
These men are not charged with
defrauding all their customers" he
said. 1T is no defense against a
bank burglary charge to show that
there were some banks that the de
tendant did not burglarize Il is ito
defense in a murder case to show
there were some people that the de-
PENDANT did not murder.
Judge Baltzell overruled the OBJ
lection but asked the defense to
limit such witnesses to a reasonable
number.
Indications were that the defense
would close early next week.
