By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 12.—'Two blocks from Oak and Milton streets, famous “death corner” of Little Italy’s gang and mafia slayings, a 16-year-old Negro today resisted for five hours the machine guns and tear bombs of 100 police, who besieged his brick barricade. Not until fourteen bullets from the guns of the invading poli e squads had found their mark did the youth '•'..se the sniping fire which wounded eight of Chicago’s veteran detectives. The Negro youth, Ernest Whithurst, was being sought for questioning in the breaking of a store window near his home. He evaded two detectives who called at his home at 2:30 a. m., opened fire on them from behind a door and began a battle which called forth every available riot squad on the north side. After five hours’ firing, John Stege, deputy police commissioner, who had taken charge of the police forces, and Sergeant Thomas Conley gained entrance to the youth’s barricaded room and rendered

The Lithuanian premier gave the council detailed information regarding the failure of the recent conference between the Polish and Lithuanian delegates at Koenigsberg, Germany, to settle the dispute. Members of the council were so visibly impressed by the vastness of the demand which Voldemaras made, that everyone remained awake during the discussion—a courtesy which has not been paid the minister during several other discussions of the subject.
