Saito and Hull Confer.
Ambassador Hirosi Saito of Japan
conferred late yesterday with Hull, but
said he did not protest against the
State Departments condemnation. He
explained he called on his own initia-
tive to clear up certain points.
The denunciation, he declared, was
not likely to strain American-Japanese
relations. Instead, he added, recent
developments have Clarified the at
mosphere," and thus have been call
culated to bring about better under
standing between the two nations.
Suggestions abroad that the United
States act as host to the nine-power
conference in Washington met mixed
reception, although there was no Of
fetal comment.
Some observers said the administra.
ton would not favor holding the par
ley here because of the undesired en-
phasis 1t might give to American par
ticipation in general peace effort.
Others, however. said the suggestion
might be we'll received because Wash
ington is both the birthplace and the
depository of the treaty, adopted is
years ago.

Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium,
the Netherlands, Portugal, Japan and
China.
Conversations Kept Secret.
This ard other preliminary details
of the conference, including decision
as to whether 1ive additional adherents
will be invited, are being worked out
in strict secrecy through diplomatic
conversations between Washington.
London, Paris and capitals of the other
powers involved.
Bulking large in these conferences is
the question of specific program.
The nine-power treaty provides NO
machinery for inflicting penalties on
its violators. Thus, the group even
tually must decide whether it shall
embark on q definite course of action
designed to call Japan to account or
merely enunciate statement Of policy
with possible recommendations to the
League Of Nations.
Speculation on Boycott.
Speculation in some quarters that
the conference might be asked to de-
clare an economic boycott against Ja-
pan brought no ofiicial indication that
the United States would be prepared
to consent to any such extreme action.
On the other hand, there was no spe-
cific sign it would not.

DEALER
IS DENIED WRIT
Emanuel RosensWeig Loses
Appeal in Case InvoIv-
ing Tax Stamps.

Tried three times and convicted
twice. Emanuel Rosensweig, one-time
proprietor Of the Sun Liquor Co., was
denied a writ Of error by the Court
of Appeals today on a charge OF fail
ing to affix District Alcohol Beverage
Control Board tax stamps to approxi-
mately 1000 gallons of taxable liquor.
The motion for writ was made by
Attorney Alvin Newmyer, following
the latest conviction by jury before
Judge Edward M. Curran in Police
Court. The point raised was that the
liquor, which was stored in the base
ment OF the liquor company's building
was not actually on the licensed
premises"
Assistant Corporation Counsel
George D. Nelson, who prosecuted
all the cases, filed objections to the
granting Of the writ, claiming the
entire premises of a licensed liquor
dealer come under the provisions of
the control board. In rendering it's
decision. the higher court sustained
Nelson's objections.
The case has been before the Po-
lice Court for the last two years and
is the only one of its kind ever
brought to trial here
1t was tried the first time before
Judge John P. Mcmahon, the jury
being unable to reach a verdict In
the second trial, before Judge Walter
]. Casey, Rosensweig was convicted,
but filed motion for new trial and
the verdict was set aside and a new
trial granted. The same objection
which was the basis of the filing of
the writ of error was the one under
which the new trial was granted
that the basement was not part OF
the licensed premises.
The A. B. C. Board hailed today's
action by the appellate court since
it more definitely fixes the jurisdic-
ton of that body in the requirements
for the affixing of tax stamps. Ros-
ensweig had contended the liquor did
not become taxable until it reached
the sales floor He lost his license
as result of the case.

ment wants any definite action that
might finally be agreed on to be
taken by the world group of nations
as whole rather than by the nine
powers alone.
Senator Borah, Republican, Of
Idaho was quoted by friends as hav-
ing said last night at a dinner party
In Boise that he did not believe,
under the circumstances now obtain
ing, a conference under the nine
power treaty will be conducive to
peace"
When We condemn one of the
sigAatories of treaty as having vio-
lated the treaty" the friends quoted
him, 'it is useless to talk of a con-

conference should precede the
prejudicing and the condemnation"

At his press conference held shortly
after his arrival from Hyde Park, the
President was asked to implement a
reference in his Chicago speech to a
Quarantine" of warning nations
what effect if any the speech would
have on the neutrality act, and
whether Washington would be selected
as the site for the nine-power confer
ence.
He said the latter was an "if" ques-
ton, and he had nothing to- add to
what he said at his press conference
in Hyde Park Wednesday morning
He added in response to another
question that he had no information
other than what he saw in the
newspapers concerning a contem-
plated visit to the White House by
former Premier Blum of France.

DAVIDSON NPR0BERS.
CALL SERVICE MEM
Police Plan to Question SOL
diers and Marines in Death
of Attorney.

Police today planned to question
several soldiers and marines men,
toned in the notes of Elmer j. David
son, So, United States Chamber of
Commerce attorney, who was shot
and stabbed to death Sunday night
by an unknown assailant.
The service men named are sta
toned at Fort Belvoir and Quantico,
IN the general vicinity of the lonely
grove where Davidson's body was
found early Monday, sprawled under
a tree beside the Whitewater road in
stafford County, a mile or so from
the Washington-Fredericksburg high
way.
Davidson, who had been recognized
driving on the highway by several
persons shortly prior to his death.
had Jotted down the names of the
men in shorthand. along with infor-
nation as to places they might be
found in Washington.
Took Long Rides at Night.
The middle-aged bachelor had been
IN the habit of taking long rides at
night in his high-powered roadster.
He was almost invariably alone when
he left his home at 555 Randolph
street.
During recent weeks Davidson. in
vestigators said, had drawn numerous
small checks, cashing them himself
and filling out the stubs in his check
BOOK in shorthand. The checks ranged
srom s5 to $50.
Ine legal research expert was known
as man of modest tastes who spent
little money on himself. Yet during
September he ca'hed checks totalinp
Sis, presumably for personal ex-
penses.
Detectives here believe Davidson
might have been the victim of a cheap
snake down" racket in the final weeks
OF his life. Sergt. j. E. McDermott of
the Virginia State police and Sergt.
Clyde N. Strange of the Washington
homicide squad spent yesterday ques-
tloning men who might have known
Davidson after business hours.
Sergt. McDermott said today, how
ever, I'm afraid we learned very little
IN addition to what We already knew
investigators are convinced David
son was seen shortly prior to his
death by the proprietor of a lunch
stand on the highway near Dumfries
"here he stopped to buy cigarettes for
an unknown person in his car.
Cigarettes Found in Car.
A package of cigarettes was found
IN Davidson's automobile, although
investigators were told the attorney
smoked only cigars. The lunch stand
proprietor could not say if the person
VINO remained in the car was a man
or woman, although he heard a reply
When the man called to ask what
brand of cigarettes to buy.
The key to the whole mystery police
believe, lies with the driver of a Penn
sylvania car who stopped and picked
up the supposed murderer at Triangle,
va. Sunday night after the suspect
had crashed Davidsons roadster off
the highway while fleeing the scene
OF the killing.
Police have broadcast an appeal for
the Pennsylvania motorist to come
forward with description of the sus-
pect, and details of his movements
after he was picked up. Investigators
so far have been unable to uncover
any information as to the identity of
the motorist other than the fact
fairly we'll substantiated-that his car
bore Pennsylvania tags.

Daring Young Man

Dr. High, who organized the Good Neighbor' League for the Democratic party during the cam paign, said in his article that many old line Democrats, especially pre- valent in the south, must be shaken out of the party while the New Deal-minded younger followers take over under the Roosevelt banner.
 Naturally MT. Roosevelt could scarcely allow that to go unchal- lenged as something he had told pr. High over friendly cup of coffee.
 Yet it is easy to imagine many of Dr. Highs earnest followers sus- pecting the President was forced by these very same old-time Demo- crats to sort of repudiate pr. High for the sake of peace, regardless of how near the truth he may have been.

 Dr. High likely will go right on advance scouting as he has since very early after the war. He is well liked and highly admired among the secular groups who read him most, and more than one Sunday school teacher has told his charges that unless they stop taking those late Saturday night joyrides up the river they won't grow up to be like Stanley High.
