HOLD-UP MEN MAKE MISTAKE, ROBMOTORMAN Carelessly Overlook sl7 in Hurried Frisking of Victim. Two masked men held-up and robbed Frank Moore, <523 Arch street, a motorman on the Brightwood street car line, last night at Thirtieth street and Brightwood avenue. Moore got off of the street car at the end of the line and walked to the rear of a store. Two men, who evidently thought he was the conductor, covered him with a revolver and relieved him of 60 gents. However, they overlooked sl7 in paper money in Moore's pockets. This is the third hold-up in this neighborhood in the last two months. Once before a street car man was held up and robbed at Thirtieth street and Brightwood avenue. George Shewing, negro, 1521 Myron avenue, saw a white man being held up and robbed bv a negro, at Central avenue and Fifteenth street. Chewing started in the direction of the hold-up and the white man ran. The negro bandit turned the revolver on Chewing and forced him to hold up his hands. Ch-wing said the hold-up man searched hie pockets, but failed to find any money and told him to "beat it.” Later A. J. Clemens. 171i Hall l’lace, telephoned to the police that he was the man held up and robbed by a negro at Fifteenth street and Central avenue. The negro took some papers and a knife from Clemen's pocket. A would-be burglar tossed a brick through the rear window of Abe Tavel's pawn shop, 319 Indiana avenue, late last night. Mrs Minnie Carothere. who lives over the pawn shop, opened the window and the burglar ran without entering the store. The Rev. Ira Hendon, 1505 Cornell avenue, reported to the police that a thief had entered the Corinthian Baptist Church, Fulton and North streets, and carried away two curtains worth $22, light bulls worth $6 and a silver set valued at sls. George Hare, employed in an engine room of a factory at ontcalm and Eighteenth streets, reported to the police that a thief stole his purse from the pocket of bis coat in the engine room. The purse contained SB4, two Liberty bonds, j each for SSO, and a check for $24. Burglars entered the X. Koch confee- j tionary store, 811 West Washington street, and carried away candy valued ' at $26. A burglar broke a window in the home of Harry ills, 5041 Kenwood avenue, entered the house and ransacked each room, rs. ills told the police nothing was stolen.

BANDITS HOLD 4 AMERICANS Mexicans Release Victims Without Obtaining $5,000 Demanded. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Four AmerI leans were captured by Mexican bandits at Santa Eulalia, near Chihuahua on the night of Nov. 9 and held two hours, tho State Department announced today. Th e captured Americans were Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Butts and Willard Benham, employes of the American Smelting & Refining Cos., and Miss Mary Long, daughter of a former American consul. | A demand of $5,000 ransom was made, I but the Americans were released within I two hours without payment of the ranj som. The matter was taken up by American officials with the Mexican authorities. The some bandits on the same night captured Oscar Trevino, a Mexican mine owner, and exacted a ransom of $5,000. U. S. FORCED . INTO ROLE OF EAST UMPIRE (Continued From Page One.) promise ‘‘principles.” The most important thing, American officials said today, w.rs that the whole conference is now on record as having agreed to something which can be used as a starting line for the real work. The Immediate business In hand was the discussion of the four general principles proposed by Ellhu Root and accepted without reservation by all of the powers and the manner In which these principles are to be applied to existing Chinese problems. The principles pledge the powers (1) to respect the territorial and administrative Integrity of China; (2) to give Clr.na full and unhampered opportunity to work out her own government; (3) to respect the open door and equal economic opportunity for all, and (4) to refrain from taking advantage of present chaotic conditions In China to seek special privileges. The four principles are considerably broader and more general than were the ten principles proposed by China herself last week and the Chinese accepted Root's program with some disappointment. They had been hopeful that the powers would accept China's own program for her rehabilitation, and some confusion exists In the minds of tho Chinese delegates ns to just what Boot's substitution means. They accepted, however, without protest. Acceptance of tho Root principles brings the statesmen squarely up against the task of determining just what con-

stitutes the China of today. Rigid, application of the third principle would deny, for instance, Japan’s claims to “special interests”' in Shantung, Manchuria and Mongolia, three “lost” provipces which the Chinese came to Washington in frank hopes of getting back. THIRD PRINCIPLE BRINGS I P QUESTION. The third principle pledges the powers “to use their influence for the purpose of effectually establishing and maintaining the principle of equal opportunity for the commerce and industry of all nations throughout the territory of China.” The question that arises under the Interpretation of this principle Is whether the China of fifty years ago or the China of today is to he taken as a basis for consideration. The map of China has changed much in fifty years, as the i powers kept “nibbling” at her territory through outright annexation and tho less bold, but equally efficacious method of “spheres of influence.” There is season to believe the Root proposals are a part of the Hughes program for the settlement of Far Eastern matters. NAVAIi EXPERTS ALSO IN SESSION. The real work has started on adjustment of China's intricate and complicated affairs, with the acceptance by the powers of the Root program as the foundation on which to build. While the principal delegates went at the Chinese problem, the naval experts continued their technical discussion of the ship program. Beyond the general statement that “progress Is being made,” there is no indication that the opposition of Japan being relegated to a poor third In the naval strength of the world, Is in any way disappearing. a CITY PLANS TO ACQUIRE BLOCK AS PLAZA SITE (Continued From Page One.) be started at once since a twenty-nine day publication period is required before bids may lie received.

Developments today Indicated that the fight to force Marlon County’s participation in the creation of a World War memorial plaza will bo waged furiously during the next few days. Former service men, led by the Service Men s Club, are laying plans for a monster mass meeting In Tomlinson Hall Friday night to protest against the action of Carlin D. Shank and Harry 1).

The meeting today of the city plan commission is also attracting considerable attention, for the plaza project, is expected to come before it in some form. Mayor-elect Shank has said that he would be willing to abide by the decisio i of this commission and for that reason Its deliberations will have an Interest for both the opponents and proponents of the memorial project. At a meeting last night Judge Arthur R. Robinson, J. Frank Cantwell, chairman' of the Marlon County council of the American Legion, and Walter Myers were appointed a committee to arrange the program for the mass meeting. A large number of organizations, Including the American War Mothers, American Legion, the Legion Auxiliary, composed of wives, sisters and motheis of former soldiers, and the Service Club will participate in the demonstration.

BONDING PLAN UNWISE. The condition primarily is the result of the unwise bonding plan provided by law until recent years. The old plan was that whenever the city saw something it wanted to buy and did not have the ready cash available it would issue long term bonds and then trust to luck that some way of paying for the securities when they fall due would be found. That was something for a future generation to worry about, any-

way, apparently was the philosophy of the old-time town fathers. Since that time, however, the folly of such a plan became so apparent that the law was changed so that a sinking fund now is provided in which money can be accumulated every year for the retirement of the Issues whenever they fall due. The bond issues for the parks cited above do not happen to be a responsible ity of the board of park commissioners, since they were made before the park board became a separate financial unit from the general city departments.

have to be paid out of the genera! city sinking fund. The present administration has made some provision in its tax levies for the past two years to build this fund up to a point in 1924 where it will meet the moss grown Garfield issue as well as about $1,000,000 worth of other issues falling due in that year. The park department now issues its own bonds and provides for retiring them in its own sinking fund. Another improvement over the old bonding plan is that issues are made to mature serially so that interest charges decrease as the principal is cut down every year.

In some respects, human experience is like railroading. Every moment of the business and social day the block signals are giving right of way to keenness and alertness —while the slow and the heavy must wait' n the sidetrack for their chance to r ve forward. The ability to “go through” and to “get there” depends much on the poise of body, brain and nerves that comes with correct diet and proper nourishment. That’s why so many choose GrapeNuts for breakfast and lunch. Served with cream or milk it is completely nourishing, partly pre-digested, and it supplies the vital mineral salts to necessary to full nutrition. Grape-Nuts has a rich, delightful flavor, is ready to serve on the instant —and is distinctly the food for mental and physical alertness and speed. At all grocers. "There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts
