CHINESE RETIRE WITHIN WALL

JAPANESE ADVANCE NOW HALTED

BOTH SIDES TO CONFER AT KALGAN

According to the United Press, Chinese troops have retired to position inside the Great Wall and the Japanese, who yesterday were at grips with the garrison forces of Kuyuan and Tushikow, had taken up posts outside the ancient buttress against barbarians.

Central News, the Chinese agency, reports further shelling of Chinese positions and bombing by Japanese planes. These reports are not confirmed by foreign press services.

Commenting on the Charhar situation, the Times, according to Reuter, says that while the incident was small in itself, it indicates the inability of Japanese diplomacy to prevent the soldiers of the nation taking whatever action they deem appropriate..

HAUPTMANN'S DEFENCE

ACQUITTAL MOVE A FAILURE

ACCUSED TAKES STAND: SURPRISE WITNESS

Flemington, Jan. 24.

The Hauptmann trial promises to produce more sensations and surprises. With Hauptmann, charged with the Lindbergh baby murder, on the stand in his own defence, and his counsel promising to bring for- ward a surprise witness who was the last person in contact with the "real kidnapper," the closing stages of the case will be highly dramatic.

The case for the prosecution was concluded to-day, Immediately the State had closed, Mr. Edward Reilly, leading the defence, demanded directed verdict of acquittal.

Mr. Reilly argued that there was no evidence that the court had jurisdiction in the case and he claimed there was no tittle of proof that the accused was present at the scene of the crime when it was committed. There was no evidence that accused had participated in the kidnapping, and certainly nothing to show that he had had anything to do with the death of the child.
