offered New Guinea if she would
take her hands of China.
DR.. Jones, who spoke before the
tWo-day conference of the National
Council for Prevention of War, being
concluded today at the Friends
Meeting House, 2lll Florida avenue
NV. said such step would have
three advantages. First, he said, il
would permit Japan to save face;
second, it would permit a peaceful
settlement of the dispute with
China, and, third, it might detach
Japan from the A,is powers.
New Guinea, the speaker said, is
second in size as an island only to
Australia. with approximately 6OO,-
900 natives
DR.. Jones pointed out that a
monetary settlement to Australia

to cost Of war in the Pacific.

New Railway Coach
Without Sidesway
Makes lis Debut

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. Nov 15-An al
most noiseleSS railway car. whose
floor stays level-and consequently
its passengers-even when it takes
the sharper curves at high speeds
has just made its debut
In appearance conventional, ex-
cept for oblong windows, the coach
is radically different in its method
of suspension. Instead of resting on
fat springs, as do railroad cars now
this car is hung on its trucks by four
huge coil springs.
These springs virtually eliminate
sidesway, which only trainmen and
dining walters are able to counteract
gracefully, and absorb much of the
vibration picked up from the road
bed. The suspension, being under
instead of over the center of gravity
is hailed by railroad officials as a
potent safety factor
Receives Final Test.
The first of these new cars will be
delivered to the Sante Fe today
Hooked on behind two regular
coaches and a fast engine yester-
day. the car was given its final test
run at speeds as high as 81 miles an
hour.
The coil springs sit in rubber
sockets on the trucks. They squig-
gle around like jelly, permitting the
car to ride smoothly even on the
toughest road beds. They also help
reduce the noise of railroad move
ment. but the entire car has beer
soundproofed so that even the noise
of passing over cross tracks ano
switches become barely audible
within the car.

Court Weighs Claim
OF Double Jeopardy in
Policeman S Staying
Counsel for Accused
Contends New Law
Clouds Indictment
"A. P. Wirephotos.

District Court Justice F. DiCkin-
son Let's today weighed the Ques-
ton of whether to try Willie Bull
lock. colored again on charge Of
flrst-degree murder. Bullock re-
Gently was reindicted on the accusa-
ton that he fatally shot Policeman
George w. Shinault on August n
1882 The United States Court of
Appeals recently granted him a new
trial and now the defense contends
that he is placed in double jeopardy
and that the matter has been closed
by the law, hence he should not be
tried at all.
The appellate court held that
there was insufficient time for pre-
meditation and deliberation, as
shown by the evidence. to bring the
case within the first-degree murder
category and accordingly reversed it
and remanded it for a new trial.
The Government subsequently had
Bullock reindicted, but this time
under the theory that he killed the
policeman while committing the
felony with a dangerous weapon,
while placing a pistol in the mouth
of the defendants common law wife.
This is deemed sufficient to dis
pense with the necessity of proving
premeditation and elaboration.
Asks Trial on Issue.
T. Emmett Mckenzie, defense
counsel, asked Justice Let's to order
a jury trial on the factual question
of whether Bullock is facing double
jeopardy, contending that the Gov
ernment will have to use the same
evidence in the second case. The
defense also argues that Congress,
in changing the first degree murder
law last July to provide that no
purposeful killing need be shown in
certain enumerated crimes, by i'm
plication repealed the old law under
which Bullock was indicted. To try
Bullock under the new murder law,
Mr.. Mckenzie argues, would be to
violate his constitutional rights by
bringing in an ex post facto situa-
ton. trying him under a law passed
since the crime was committed.
Bullock was reputedly a fugitive
from justice for seven years and
was tried in July. 1899. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie charged that by changing
the language of the indictment. the
Government hopes that it will be
easier to send this man to the elec-
trio chair"

On behalf of the Government,
Assistant United States ATTORNEYS
Charles B. Murray and Dennis Nc
Carthy advised Justice Let's that
there is no double jeopardy in the
case and that Bullock should be

Mr.. Mccarthy declared that both
indictments were drawn under the
old statute for murder. He asserted
that the first and second indict-
ments charge two separate offenses
and will require different proof. He
