It's a tough one to hold and i whoever gets it will have a lot of ' sleepless nights.” I Torrio, brought here on a government subpoena to appear at the Capone income tax fraud trial, spoke through uneven teeth with trace of a lisp, a man of 5o or 60 with hair beginning to gray, a smooth-shaven ruddy face and a certain gravity of manner, Torrio would not be taken for a former gang big shot with about as much power as Capone attained. He looks more like a family man with a delicatessen business, or a lumber yard, or some office job. Only his pin-point eyes disturb picture of him. "As a mutter of fact,” he said, "Cm living off my investments. 1 made plenty of money and I saved it. Now I'm letting the money work for me. ”1 pay my income tax every year. During the last five years, my tax has ranged from SBOO to $3,000." Torrio fled Chicago six years ago latter gunmen shot him down in a gang feud. He said he had not been in contact witli Capone in that time until he came here unIder subpoena before the trial startled. He was asked his definition of a i racketeer. ' "He’s a guy who is kickt I around iby the police,” said Torrio. "He spends his money like a tinhorn I gambler an dhe usually dies of lead poisoning.

JAPAN ORDERS U. S._FROM MEET FORM PAGE ONE) Shitb-hara and Premier Wakatsuki failed to overcome. 1 he reported stand of the army still one of the most powerful influences in Japan, further complicated the Japanese position. Although the government refused to sanction a Chinese proposal at Geneva that a League of Nations commission investigate conditions in Manchuria, several government leaders advocated that the League appoint a commission to study China. 1 wo arguments were advanced in favor of the commission. It was claimed the League would lealize from a commission’s report the basic nature of China's irresponsibility.” Some quarters maintained the appointment of a commission would benefit Japan in its effect on the I’hinese delegates at Geneva. They held that the Chinese, realizing that a general study showing China's weaknesses" would make her position before the league more difficult. would hasten a direct sinoJapanese settlement. 1 here was no indication, however that Japan had altered from her original position of not allowing a commission to make a general study in Manchuria and opposing any intervention by a third party Washington. Oct. 15—<U.R>—Japan s refusal to assent to American participation in the league of nations council deliberations over the Manchurian crisis threw a grave obstacle today into efforts of world powers to prevent war ini the orient. “This puts us right back where we were," one state department official said. In view of Japan's attitude it was uncertain here whether SecreI tary of State Stimson would | further press his effort to place an | American representative in the league of nations council meeting Just what course this government now will pursue was in doubt at the moment. Along with his policy of seeking close co-operation with the league, Stimson has been working privately through diplomatic channels on l-oth Japan and China to persuade them against formal hostilities and trying to bring about a settlement peaceably. Developments in Tokio indicated these effort* also have been received with little fn’Wtr 1W the’ Japanese government. While details of Stimson's direct communications ' with Tokio have been withheld, Tokio dispatches indicated they had contained strong statements. Stimson's attempt to function intimately with the league was centered on the hope of obtaining a united front by world powers in bringing joint pressure on Japan and China through the Kellogg anti-war * ict. Under it botb nations have pledged themselves not to resort to war to settle disputes. Tokio indicated antagonism to tile unprecedented statement which Secretary Stimson sent to the league a few days ago urging it to exercis# all possible pressure in the Manchurian situation. Japan is insisting upon negotiating directly with China without intervention by outside powers. Stimson took the position that inasmuch as the league council had already undertaken consideration of the Manchurian crisis, the I United States, though not a memi her of the league, should do j everything possible to bolster up [ its efforts. China regards Manchuria as her I "promised land" where millions of famished are finding a chance to I spread out and live, while Japan I regards it as her economic Hint erland. a feeder empire to supply food, fertilizer, coal and iron for the crowded island of Nippon. It is a huge pioneer agricultural country as big as Montana, North Dakota. Minnesota ami Wisconsin nr.d much the same sort of country. Chinese are moving there at the rate of 1,000,01)0 a year in a migration like that of the Ameri can west after the civil war. Japan attempted to colonize the region after gaining an economic loothold as a result of the Russo Japanese war but Japanese dislik 'd lite extremes of heat and ■ cold. They suffered from hard competition against the Chinese farmers with a lower standard of living. So China is now taking the soil while Japan is seeking economic Control. Manchuria, as the National Geographic Society describes it would fit roughly inside a line running 1 i>m New York City, through Buffalo and to Lake Superior; then down through Des Moines and St. Louis to New Orleans, northeastward to Norfolk and lack to NewYork. Chicago would lie in the heart of the tooth's crown and Atlanta in the center of the root. The present trouble is in the root of the tooth. Czarist Russia, before the beginning of the cen- i lurv. obtained a treaty with China j to run a short-cut railroad across the middle of Manchuria to reach Pacific forts from Siberia. One line runs east from Harbin to | Vladivostok, 900 miles like the

Pennsylvania railroad from Chicago to New York. Russians still control this road with Chinese holding an interest. Russia also built a line branching south front Harbin to Port Arthur, a yeararound warm water port. It is like the Illinois Central from Chicago to New Orleans. Japan took Hie lower part of this road after the Russo-Japanese war. She modernized it with American pulljnans and American locomotives. Leasing the lower tip of Manchuria she built Dairen, a new commercial port near Port Arthur, which harjdles more commerce than any American harbor except New York. It is the route which drops from the upper empire must take to reach the sea at the New Orleans of Manchuria. Japan has the right by treaty to guard this road with 16,000 troops. Pracically a full complement is maintained now. China's grievance is that Japan has advanced her troops out from this road. She demands they be pulled back inside the railway zone. Japan refuses until she is convinced Japanese citizens in the outside area will be protected. o GOVERNMENT IN SPAIN CHANGES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) freed from prison by the revolt' which overthrew former King Alonso and became first piovisionall president of the republic, resigned because he thought the constitution al assembly sanctioned too serve I measures in restricting the activi ties of religious orders. A devout Catholic. Alcala Zamora pleaded for even further modifica- 1

tions of Article 24 of the new constitution, which dissolved the Jesuit order, provided for nationalizaof their property, and barred religious orders from teaching, commerce, or industry. Miguel Maura, minister of the interior, resigned with Alcala Zamora. Azana formed a cabinet and received a vote of confidence within three hours. Further developments from the separation of church and state were problematical. Deputies from the Basque and Navarre countries, where almost every family has a member or relative connected with a religious order, clashed with so- < iallists during the closing stages of the debate. There were several demonstrations in Madrid by Anti-Clerical elements. Police dispersed the meet-1 ings without incident. Only one new member was in-1 eluded in the new cabinet. He was" Jose Giralt, minister of marine. Retention of members of the old government indicated that Azana contemplated carrying out the original program of the first republican ministry but with a firm hand l in religious matters. The press featured Azana's re- j marks during the debate, in which ' : he said "Spain is no longer Catholic.” Some newspapers asked what i right the state had to prevent parj ents from sending their childret to , Catholic schools and pointed out } I the danger of turning hundreds of! i thousands of scholars into the streets. , Alcala' Zamora told the United I j Press he was satisified because he had obeyed his own convictions and I that he could achieve more for revision of the constitution as a ' member of the constitutional assent- 1

bly than at its president. Manuel Azana told the assembly he claimed no talent for complex political work but believed his government strong enough to complete the work of drafting more than half of the remaining 128 clauses of the constitution and electing a constitutional president. Several deputies said the expulsion of Jesuits would "mark the start of a civil war” and that abolition of religious teaching would cause "a spiritual civil war” FIVE KILLERS DIE TONIGHT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) three of the men by Governor Louis L. Emmerson and a review was de- ; nied a fourth by the state supreme I court. M arden Daven Moneypenny of I the county jail begged without suc- ! cess for clemency for Bell. He said Bell had saved the lives of himself and other jail officials by exposing a plot of William Lenhardt, another slayer, to shoot his way out of jail. I Lenhardt subsequently was electroI cuted. It was Bell who “confessed" to 1 participating in the murder of Allred J. Lingle, newspaper reporter and said Patas was killed tor refus-j ing to pay for the killing. The con- | session” was disregarded. COURTHOUSE Frank Hower was arrested Wednesday on a charge of public intoxication. Bond was fixed at Clyde Daugherty was arrested on a charge of assault and battery and his bond was set

at S2OO. He was scheduled to have a hearing late this afternoon. Judge D. B. Erwin has been named special judge in the case of Robert L. Romey vs. City of Fort Wayne, to test the validity of a zoning ordinance. Judge Erwin will hear the case November 11. Insanity proceedings have been started against Christine Adler, and the court appointed Dr. J. M. Miller and Dr. C. H. Branch as examiners.
