By GLENN BABB TOKYO, Dec. 6.—Prepared un- der direction of the Japanese Gen- eral Staff, a map just published delimits for the first time the boundaries of that product of Ja- pan’s military occupation of Man- churia, the state of Manchukuo. When The Associated Press ask- ed Lieutenant-General Sadao Ar-' aki, Minister of War, to define the area of the new state the General produced a copy of this map, say- ing: “This will answer your ques- tions. In brief, Manchukuo in- cludes the former provinces of Fengtien, Kirin, Heilungkiang and Jehol.” In thus mentioning Jehol as part of the new state Gen. Araki car- ried its boundaries outside of what the Chinese considered Manchuria. Furthermore the map showed that the territory claimed for Manchu- { | “kuo had been split into five pro- vinces, the four named by him and a section in the northwest called Khingan, after the moun- tain range that runs through it. This new province contains areas || formerly under the nominal juris- diction of Fengtien and Hellung- iang provinces.

GIVEN TO JURY AT NOON TODAY Government and Defense Counsel Engage in Heated Debate Late this afternoon, the Mat- thews' jury returned a verdict finding the defendant, Cliff Matthews, guilty of transport- ing contraband liquor, and not guilty of the sale of -it. The Cliff Matthews' case, start- ed yesterday morning in the Unit- ed States district court before Judge Justin W. Harding, went to the jury at noon today, and at 2:30 p. m. no verdict had been reported. ‘. The defendant, a taxicab operat- or, was accused of having trans- ported and sold two gallons of moonshine whiskey on June 10, last to one Marie Vallorie, who was one of the Government’s main witnesses, testifying she had pur- chased the whiskey from Matthews. Alleged Was Framed He contended this testimony was false and said he was hauling her as a passenger when his auto- mobile was halted by officers. The woman, he declared, had two pack- ages with her when she entered his cab and he didn't know what either of them contained. Mrs. Mary Hammer, called by the defense, testified that Miss Vallorie, some time after the ar- rest of Matthews told her that she had not bought the whiskey from him but from some other man. Two other defense witness- es testified they saw Miss Vall- orie engaged Matthews’ taxi on the evening of June 10 and that she had some packages at the time.
