BRITISH FLEET LEADER WARNS JAP COMMANDER Warns Embassy And Warships To Stay At Nanking Despite Threats (O .pyright 1937 by United Press) , Shanghai. Sept. 21 —(UP) —ViceAdmiral Sir Charles Littla. commander in chief of the British fleet lias warned the Japanese high command that the British embassy and British warships will stay at Nanking despite Japanese threaten to , destroy the city, it was understood today. - Admiral Litt'e sent bis warning to vice admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander in chief of Japanese Naval forces, who had warned foreigners. and Chinese non-c-mbatants. to get out of the capital, it was said. At the same time, the Japanese notified British authorities that the deadline for travel on the Hankow- i Canton Railway ia Sept. 24, after which Japan will not assume responsibility for foreign lives lost in Japanese bombing. A Japanese spokesman hinted. r.~>on afterward, that the death raids of Japanese planes on Nanking' might be postponed because foreigners had not been given suffi cient time to flee. But heavy rains in the Shanghai area, whence most Japanese raiding planes wou'd go, gave hope anyway of respite for the city, apparently ■ doomed to destruction. The rain was so severe that it | seemed the massed air raids on Nanking, due to start at noon, must be postponed. A Japanese spokesman, however, warned that the raid might come at any hour. He announced that from now on Japanese planes would not only bomb military and government I bases but other sections of Nanking to which ,he alleged. Chinese headquarters had been removed for safety. Japanese troops here, reflecting the anger that caused the order f.xr the mass bombardment of Nanking began a series of attacks in force despite the rain. They struck in the Ixitien. Liuhang and Kiangwan sectors of the front that extends northward from Changhai. Preoccupied as peapie were witn the prospect that Nanking might be destroyed, hanghai bad troubles of its own. Twenty new cases of cholera, 91 new suspects and sseven death since yesterday weer reported by the municipal council. But the threat of disease was secondary to the threat of hunger and (CONTINTTISD ON PAGE FOUR) o—; MUST OBSERVE TRAFFIC LICHT Chief Os Police Warns Violations Not To Be Tolerated — Chief of Police Sephus Melchi today issued a warning to all traffic light violators. He stated that .he had received numerous reports of these violations. One of the favorite methods of avoiding lights, which will not be tolerated, he stated is that es using a filling station driveway to avoid ! the ine-rsectlon light. He stated that the lights were, after careful observation, timed to more efficiently handle the traffic I on respective approaches and that all drivers are expected to obey the signals when using those streets. Since caution lights on red-to-green have been eliminated in some , instances, drivers are expected to wait for the green light before starting across an intersection, he said. " A spirit of cooperation on the part of each driver in obeying all traffice signals will make the city , streets much safer and reduce city accidents to a minimum," Chief Melichi stated.

TAX LEVIES IN ADAMS COUNTY ARE CERTIFIED Six Os 18 Taxing Units In County Over Tax Limitation Six of the 18 taxing units in the ' county were certified to the state today by the county tax adjustment board as being over the maximum levies allowed in the 1937 statute.

The tax limitation law sets the maximum for total levies in incorporated towns and cities at $2 and for units outside of incorporated towns and cities at $1.25 on the $101). The total levies affected by the law excludes those to raise funds for principal and interest on debts and judgments, and levies for the i county welfare department. The 1938 levy for Decatur as approved by the hoard is $2.47 as compared to $2.74 in 1937. Levies affected by the limitation law tn Dectur total $2.16 The Geneva rate is the highest in the county, amounting to $3.28 as compared to $3.98 in 193". Rates affected by the law amount to $2.73. Berne levies total $2.76 as compared to $2.95 in 1937 and the rates affected by the law amount to $2.44. The Wabash township levy is $2.08 a«i compared to $2.33 in 1937. The rates affected- by the law amount to $1.53. The St. Mary’s township levy is $1.79 as compared to $1.84 in 1937. The rate affected by the law totals $1.60. The Jefferson township levy is $1.83 as compared to $2.01 in 1937. The rate affected by the law totals $1.46.

Colmery, his eyes red from lack of sleep and his voice hoarse from two days of speech-making, sat with his party in the reviewing stands.

Mounted police and special Legion details, colorfully ttdniformed. stood guard at intersections. It was the climax of the legion’s 19th annual convention which started Monday and will* close Thursday night. The motorcycle escort of New York City police led the parade, forming a column a block long. All of them, nearly 100, were legionnaires. The motorcycle police started I the parade at 9 a. m. Legion officials, revising earlier estimates, said they "would b? lucky” if the last of the ten divi- ! sions had completed the parade 20 hours later. Following the motorcycle police came row after row of horse policemen, a dozen abreast, their mounts marching heads high. Then the New York City police post band, headed by a squad of officers who gave a smart sword ' salute to the commander and fol- ! lowed by hundreds of foot police i turned eyes left as they passed I the stand.

GEN.DENHARDT IS KILLED ON EVE OF TRIAL Three Garr Brothers Charged With Murder Os Gen. Denhardt — Shelbyville, Ky„ Sept, 21 —(U.R) —The three Garr brothers of Oldham county, members of Kentuvky’s blue gruss aristocracy, today were charged with killing Brigadier General Henry 11. Denhardt. 61. eleven hours before he was to have gone on trial for .the second time, accused of murdering Mrs. Verna Garr Taylor, their I sister. A joint murder warrant was i ! filed against Dr. E. S. Carr, Roy Garr and Jack Garr by Coleman Wright, Shelby county attorney, at almost the hour that Gen. Den hardt., iron man of Kentucky mili- ! tary circles, was to have gone on trial again at nearby New Castle on charges of shooting to death the I beautiful 40-year-old widow’ to i whom he was engaged, last Nov. 7. It was made clear in the broth- ' ers’ behalf that they were ready | to take the consequences of murder—if murder is proved. Roy I Garr claimed that he had fired all the shots. Witnesses said that Dr. E. S. Garr, a shell-shocked world war veteran and a veterinarian, had fired, too. Jack Garr. ! the third brother of the ancient i family of the Kentucky blue grass I country, was with them but was not armed. J. Ballard Clark, the attorney whom the brothers had hired to assist the commonwealth prosecute Denhardt, atWtounced that his clients probably would be charged with murder today. "How will they plead?” he was ‘ asked. "Self defense." "What Is the basis for that plea ; —did General Denhardt attack or ■ threaten the brothers’" “That will be the line,” Clark' replied. , The brothers were in Shelby county jail, courteous, smiling, but ■ uncommunicaxive. They had vol- ! untarily surrendered themselves 1 and their weapons to Patrolman , Jeff Tracy. At the moment that 1 he received two pistols whose barrels still were hot. Tracy asked them if they had killed General Denhardt. They replied, Tracy 1 said, that they had. The assassinations culminated a mystery and a tragedy in this blue i grass country celebrated for its hot-headed sons, it beautiful women. and its fast horses. It also fulfilled a prophesy of Denhardt and of his attorneys. Several times, while the countryside in which hundreds are related to the : ancient Garr family has been agitated by the fate of Mrs. Taylor, they had alleged that the Garr brothers had threatened Denhardt’s life. Mrs. Taylor, a widow and 40 but still so lovely that she was called "the most beautiful woman in Henry and Oldham counties." fell in love with the 61-year-old weal(CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) FILE SUIT ON STOCKHOLDERS Stockholders Os American Security Company i Named In Suit The American Security Company ; of Fort Wayne has filed suit in the Henry county circuit court in be- ’ half .".f all creditors of the defunct i American Security Company of De- ' catur, alleging that the stock was • ' given them as bonus stock and that I they paid nothing on the stock they . received, and asking for judgment • i against each of the stockholders for the amount of bonus st"ck held by i !them and unpaid for to date. - The total amount asked for in ! the complaint is $27,100.

Maxim Litvinov Denounces Italy, Germany, Japan As Aggressors Before League Assembly. PICTURES WAR Rome, Sept. 21— (U.R) —ltaly agreed tonight to join Britain and France in discussing joint action against naval "piracy" in the Mediterranean, thus paving the way to lessening of the tension in the Mediterranean. Geneva. Sept. 21 4U.R) Maxim Litvinov of Soviet Russia today denounced Italy. Germany and Japan as aggressor nations and demanded that the league of nations aid Loyalist Spain and China at once and effectively. He spoke contemptuously of efforts to placate the “aggressor” nations. The Russian foreign commissar shouted: "Between aggression and nonaggression, between peace and war, there can be no synthesis . . . parrots in high places should be told that nonsense repeated day by day does not cease to lie nonsense.” Litvinov’s reference to "parrot nonsense" was to the assertion of the totalitarian nations that they were perpetrating their aggressions under the slogan of anticommunism. "That slogan merely covers a yearning for tin. copper or trade advantages,” Litvinov said. "That ! slogan now has been extended to i cover "similar regimes" to communistic ones in China and cer- ■ tain European countries. That must be stopped. “The league can afford both Spain and China more extensive aid than those countries are modestly asking” The "modest" aid which China and Loyalist Spain Mk is that the league denounce Japan, in China's behalf, and Italy and Germany in the Loyalists' behalf, as aggres- ; sors. That would bind the league i in principle to consider penalties ! against all three powerful “totalitarian” nations I Litvinov pictured for the assentI bly delegates war in Spain, piracyon the Mediterranean and war in China in rejecting the theory that aggression could be combatted by cooperation with the aggressors.
