The correspondence over Yap as given out by the state department shows that the proposals that the be applied to Yap was first made in a note from this government on December 6 Had japan agreed to this, the Wilson administration might reluctantly have agreed to the Japanese mandate. Japan, however, rejected it. New Secretary of State Hughes has taken the position that Yap is one of the territories taken from Germany; that the United States as one of the victors must have a choice in disposal of such territories and tiiat she has had no voice in the Yap matter. Hughes wilt not recede from this stand, which disposes of all compromise proposals. Hughes, it is known, has been assured of the support iu his stand.

The American position is strengthened by the fact that the allies want America to participate in some of the features of the treaty of Versailles, the German reparations question being one. This government will net participate, however, until the contentions of the Hughes mandate note are met. ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY IS I VEX TUBES TO MOVE METAL ES.

Finney and Sawyer performed an autopsy on the remains of Mrs. Miartifl and they told the jury in their testimony of the condition in which they found the body. It has been the contention of the defendant that deceased had stated that she had brought about an abortion and that her condition was such, following her own act, that an operation was necessary. The two witnesses mentioned testified that there had been a removal of the pelvic organs but that there was no indication of inflammation about the parts which remained. Nor were there adhesions or any sign of disease.

It was stated by Dr. Finney that the removal of the organs which had been taken away would tend to destroy all evidence of any illegal operation which might have been performed, while Dr. Sawyer said that the wound had been sewed up in- a rough manner as tho it had been done hurriedly or as tho the patient hail died while on the operating table. The defense called as Its first witness August Brandeen, a Waverly chant who had known Mrs. Martin for a great many years.

He testified that he saw her on the date of her death going to the railway station. She was apparently badly run down and seemed to drag herself along rather than walk as she had done in the past. She was not like herself, he said. Like testimony was given by I. W.

Dotson and wife, neighbors of Mrs. Martin, who had known her for twenty years. Dr. G. A DesJardien, brother of the defendant and the one who administered the anesthetic for the operation is said to railroad tickets and started east, but he left the train at Omaha and at Creston, Iowa, she received a telegram from him saying that he waa compelled to return to Fillmore county to complete his contract of carrying the mail.

She alleges that be wrote her of his intention of beginning a divorce action and says further that he has been guilty of frequent acts of infidelity with a Mrs. Christiansen. She says that he has property and a good income and asks that she be given a decree with provision for the maintenance of herself and children.

State Sheriff Hyers received a telegram fruxu Sheriff Morse of FYirt who asked if this department had any record of a Cadillac Coupe.

The state dejwtment wired the sheriff at Fort Morgan, CoL, that coupe was stolen from tho wife of the famous wrestler, Frank Goich at Humboldt, and among other ihings contained in the car was a $1. 000 fur cape, raincoat and sweater. Mr. Hyers sal dihat if evervbodji would report their cars personalty to -he state department when their auto mobiles were stolen, the chance would be very small for the thief to get away vith the car as we have a thorn system in all of the adjoining states which coopt-rat 1 with Nebraska department.
