DRASTIC RELIEF MEASURES MAY FORESTALL PANIC IN JAPAN

FORGER,PAROLED, LOSES IN EFFORT TO OEFYJUSTICE Freed From Prison to 'Make Good,’ Violator Must Return, A trail of alleged bad checks will eend#Claire Stevenson. 22, a fugitive from Indiana courts, back to finish a five-year sentence on charges of forgery at the Washington Federal Prison at McNeal Island, Wash., following his capture here and a review of his case today. Stevenson was paroled from the Washington prison some time ago. according to police. On July 2 he was arrested after disobeying a traffic officer’s signal here and interrupting Motorpoliceman Hiram Fisner’s chase after a stolen automobile. An investigation found that he had been sentenced from Richmond on a forgery charge, had served time at Leavenworth, was on parole from the Washington prison and that forgery charges were pending against him in Richmond and Greencastle. When Greencastle and Richmond officers came here to attend his trial, it was found he had been released on recognizance by Judge Pro Tem. Walter Pritchard on advice of City Attorney Ralph Jones. Jones, police say, admitted he did not know the man, but phone advice from someone alleging he was a friend of Jones indicated Stevenson was ’'all right." On July 6, Captain Hagen of Ft. Benjamin Harrison had under surveillance Claire Squires, enlisted at the fort, whom he suspected of passing a bad check. The officer identified Squires as Stevenson at police headquarters here and Federal officers took Stevenson into custody. He will be taken back to McXeal Island immediately, police said.

Sort of a Modern Sis Hopkins Causes Fun Panic on New Bill at Palace

By WALTER P. HICKMAN. J““-| LAPSTICK" comedy wins again Q I Meaning that Katie Williams I I as Miss Perkins with her flapper "pigtail” and her gosh darned expression. caused a fun panic when I saw the new week-end show at the Palace last night. Miss Williams rather reminds me of Sis Hopkins, but done in an original way. The act opens with the ‘‘gal’’ down on the farm remarkin’ that the ‘‘igrence’’ of her dad alarmed her finer nature. "Os all the, thing® I hate In life is igrence.” she allows. Then our rural bashful vampire stages a made to order dream. It Is during the dream that Miss Williams has the natural comedy services of Harry Keene. Their comedy is hoakum. tons of It. but the way a modem vaudeville audience receives their efforts is more proof that slapstick comedy done by comedy artists of ability will register with telling effect. They close with a burlesque hulahulu dance. That completes the panic. Lew Seymour, with the assistance of four girls, presents at least an original manner of handling the sketch idea on the vaudeville stage. The scene is set In a lawyer’s office which looks more like a musical com edy act than a real office. That is the idea. The girls, after a comedy attempt, go in for songs and dances. The girls are smartly dressed. The Lovenberg Sisters and Sim Neary close the show with a dance revue. The chief feature of the act is the rope work of Neary. Song and melody Is contributed by Eddie Furman and Olive Evans. Mike Roaer and Jack Dean open the show.

STRICKEN TOKIO FACING LOOTING (Confirmed From Page 1) are expected to make similar transfers. There is 'considerable discussion, however, as to whether such changes should Interfere with the temporary moratorium considered by tho government last night. It is suggested such a moratorium should be extended to' Include the entire country. The financial situation Is calm. There has been no sign of panic. People even went to the banks in Tokio and drew out small sums of less than 100 yen. Most of the capital’s banking Institutions and many of those in Yokohama found first reports of property damage had been somewhat exaggerated and their specie and books were safe. The prince regent of Japan, who was to have been married in November, Is reported to have expressed a desire to postpone his wedding, because of the disaster. It is too soon to estimate the damage to the various industries but reports so far indicate that the spinning industry has been immense and that it will be tremendously difficult for it to recover. Damage to the silk industry was not great. Fifty thousand bales were burned at Yokohama but this merely 10 per cent of the whole production. There Is now less anxiety about a food shortage for stocks of rice and other provisions are ample. If these can be moved into the devastated areas In time, Japan may be spared further horrors. The general staffs and intelligence departments have moved to Osaka.

Banks Recover and Start Payments— Bureau Place Dead at 50,000 in Tokio and Yokohama — Moratorium Is Considered. UNITED PRESS. Relief measures on an unprecedented scale are under way in Japan. The resourcefulness and organizing ability of the Japanese nation is hastening the return of the stricken areas around Tokio and Yokohama to a semblance of order. With the casualties for Tokio and Yokohama placed'around fifty thousand dead and an unknown number injured, by the Yokohama relief bureau, two-thirds of Tokio and practically all of Yokohama razed, the threat of disease and starvation urged the military and civilian forces working in the devastated area to redouble efforts. 5

Cholera is reported in dispatches from Kobe to have broken out in I okohama, probably due to survivors drinking muddy water. Most of the city’s water mains are broken by Saturday’s quake. Japan's financial organizations are oxpected to survive the disaster. A temporary moratorium may be declared but banks already are making payments. Accomplishments of the nation thus far m meeting the crisis include: Tokio Banks Opening Tokio banks are opening amid black ened ruins and the stench of hundreds of corpses, w hich sanitary corps of the Army are working desperately night and day to clear away. Pears of a possible panic throughout Japan have been dispersed by this prompt action. Postal service in Tokio has been partially restored. The Japanese cabinet is meeting twice daily and Is rapidly systematizing relief work, for which it is utilizing the army, navy and all the national resources. Citizens are forbidden to carry weapons anywhere in the devastated regions. Homes for refugees are being inaugurated in Tokio, as well as in other cities of Japan, to which thousand have fled. Shipping companies are furnishing free passage to America and to Shanghai to facilitate foreigners if they desire this. The municipalities of Osaka and Kobe have been so successful in organizing relief they apparently have solved the problem of feeding the tremendous I ’.flux of refugees. "Mountains" of provisions, clothing and other needed articles are being amassed to be transported to Tokio and Yokohama as soon as practicable. The military are reported everywhere to have the situation well In hand. * A report from Kobe says the banks are paying on demand amounts un der 100 yen (SSO) and larger amounts only after previous notification. The vaults and books of the Bank of Japan were saved from destruction and the bank announces it has 2,320,000,000 yen in specie. Moratorium Considered. The government Is still considering the proposal of the Osaka chairman of commerce proposal for a moratorium. Meanwhile discussions are under way as to the advisability of extending

such a moratorium to the regions that escaped devastation In the calamity. The money market is quiet: there is a Strained undertone but absolutely no indication of a panic. The Bank of Japan announced it was ready to devote its resources, spared by the quake, to stabilization.

COUNCIL 10 PASS BUDGET TONIGHT; PEACEISSIGNED Test Vote Indicates That Measure Will Brave Opposition Soas, City council will meet in special session at 9:30 tonight to pass a budget ordinance which they rejected Monday night. Test vote today showed the council could suspend the rules and pass it. Decision to untangle the situation in which a $1,035 levy was passed and the 1923 budget of 94.7 cents was continued followed appeal of James Ogden, city attorney, that Inactivity would put the old levy of 94.7 cents into effect. Ogden based his opinion on a 1919 tax law, and unanimous decision of the State tax board. Councilmen King, Claycombe, Bramblett, Ray, Clauer and Buchanan promised this morning in caucus at the office of City Controller Joseph L. Hogue that they would -vote to suspend the rujes and to pass the ordinance. Councilman Thompson was not present. Councilmen Wise and Bernd are out of the city. The new 1919 law provides that the city has until Sept. 15 to certify the budget. Ogden also had a communication from the State tax board holding that the council had no power to raise the tax levy from $1.02 to $1,035 to take care of a sanitary board request. Councilmen, however, will make every effort to save the sanitary board levy in order to permit operation of the setvage disposal plant. It Is understood that the legal department will hold that the $1,035 levy can be passed and unless an appeal is carried to the State tax board, will go into effect. Mayor Shank was present at the meeting and adoption of the budget to facilitate city operatiqn.
