Bii United Pres a SHANGHAI, April 15.—'The nationalist government has replied to the identic notes of America, Britain, Jajan, Frnace and Italy protesting the Nanking riots by failing to agree to any of the powers' demands. The reply proposed that an international commission be appointed to revise unequal treaties and investigate the Nanking affair. “Defenseless'’ In five different but similar notes handed representatives of the powers at Hankow yesterday, Eugene Chen, foreign minister of the nationalist government, refused to admit responsibility of the nationalist for attacks on foreign citizens and consulates at Nanking. He furtl er called attention iti 'he British and American notes to the bombardment of "defenseless Nanking,” by gunboats of those nation I .'. In the British and French notes he referred similarly to the bombardment of “defenseless Shameen,” by gunboats of those nations. The powers had demanded reparation for foreign lives lost and property damaged at Nanking. Almost Defiant As predicted by the United Press Wednesday. Chen’s replies to Britain and the United States were firm and almost defiant and his note to Japan was more conciliatory. The chief difference lay in Chen’s reminder of the bombardment of "defenseless Nanking" and “defenseless Shameen.” British and American authorities said the Nanking bombardment was ordered only when the natives got completely out of hand and was necessary to have the lives of foreigners besieged by unruly Chinese at Socony Hill. Such incidents as the Nanking bombardment will continue ns long ns tho unequal treaties exist, Chen said in proposing revision of those treaties, which were drawn up to protect foreign lives and interests after tho Boxer rebellion.

REBELLION LOOMS IN STORM WAKE Morocco Tribes Know Spaniards isolated. Bn Lniled Press MADRID, April 15.—Revolt in Spanish Morocco was feared today as an aftermath of the Mediterranean storm which swept the Spanish and northern African coasts for forty-eight hours. At least forty ships were sunk or damaged and the total loss was conservatively estimated at $<80,000,000. It was said to have been the worst storm in the history of northern Africa. Danger of revolt lay in interruption of communication witli interior military posts. The posts are garrisoned by natives under Spanish officers. The knowledge that aid could be called without delay keeps the natives from turning upon the few 1 Spanish officers ordinarily, but now, with communication disrupted, no reinforcements could be summoned for days. iSAYS DEPUTY GOT RING Youth Confesses Theft of $2,000 Diamond Here; Claims Frame-Up.

Three-Piece Ensemble The female of the species may be deadlier than the male, but the male this Easter is going to be just as loud. The latest Parisian innovation shosvn in men’s wear is a charming three piece ensemble, comprised of coat, vest and trousers. During the winter months, four piece ensembles, of the same general design, hut including an extra pair of trousers, gained in popular approval. According to latest Parisian authorities, however, it is getting rather warm for two pairs. Pocket-flaps are being left off the newer coats, according to suit salesmen, but pocket-flasks will be as popular as ever, according to drugstore clerks. Sleeveless Vests Trousers will be a little narrower than they have been, but they will still flap rather nastily in the wind. Chapped ankles, caused by drafts coming up the legs thereof, will continue to vex the wearer. Vests will be sleeveless, the best authorities agree, red neckties will not be worn with Tuxedos at the best social gatherings, and tan styles will not be worn by the elite with evening dress. False faces are not a necessary part of the well-dressed man’s Easter attire, but they may be worn if thought necessary. Socks of every sort may be worn, unless high shoes are preferred. Belts and suspenders are not necessary in the same costume—either one should suffice to keep one up well in the Easter parade.

Given a negative reply, he looked the keys over, and, sighting an auto key, said, “Don’t kid me, boy, I can tell.” Taking the keys, the two ran from the store. A moment later Bonner ran from the store and saw the two driving away in his Ford, auto, which had been parked at Villa and Southeastern Aves. Girl, 20, Is Missing Mrs. Anna Akers, 908 E.

Following refusal of Senator Simeon Fess of to accept a place on the committee. Republican leaders in Washington held a hasty conference, at which it is understood Senator James E. Watson of Indiana recommended to Dawes in Chicago by long-distance telephone that his younger colleague be named Goff’s successor. Opposed Probe Like Fess, Robinson on the Senate floor openly opposed continuance e s the committee. Robinson, however, went much further than the Ohio Senator by engaging in a verbal combat with Senator James H. Reed, which has gone down in history as the bitterest personal clash between Senators in the Sixty-Ninth Congress, an encounter in which the youthful Indiana Senator took the initiative in trying to take the measure of the veteran Missouri statesman. but which, in the consensus of opinion of a great majority of listeners, resulted in his receiving a trimming from the Democratic orator. Fess Sees Coolidge Senator Fess held a long conference with President Coolidge at the White House today after which he said the President had expressed great concern over his refusal to serve. “I told the President that had I felt the investigation would be limited to Pennsylvania and Illinois, I might have accepted, but that others of the committee would want to push investigations in other States and then it would have been too late for me to withdraw,” Fess said. Fess said he also pointed out that his acceptance of the Dawes appointment would have been inconsistent with advice he had given Senator Keyes, New Hampshire, as a member of the Senate audit committee, not to approve vouchers for the proposed expense of the Reed probe.

Study, Spelling Champs, Study!
This is written for the grade spelling champions of eighty-one city schools, their teachers and principals. It has to do with future competition in general and the building spelling contests in particular. It may deal with the zone and State bees which are to follow in the spelling program, sponsored in Indianapolis and in Indiana by The Times. It is a friendly warning that the building bees will be keenly contested, and a friendly tip to prepare for them. It is a suggestion to devote unlimited time to the study of the words of the McCall speller. It is a reminder to include among them the words that are easy to spell, as well as those that offer, confusion. It is a bit of kindly advice to the boys and girls, champions of the eighth grade, to spell over quite often, within the next two the speller's columns devoted to sixth and seventh grades, as well weeks, the words that are listed on the fifth grade pages and in as their own.

COOLIDGE STATUS WILL BE SOUGHT BY SENATOR FESS Ohionan Will Again Announce Desire for Reelection of President, Bu United Press WASHINGTON, April 15.—The movement to crystallize Republican sentiment for the renomination of President Coolidge well in advance of tho convention next year, will take a decided turn into the open over the coming week-end. Senator Fess of Ohio, one of the chief engineers of the movement, will issue a statement tomorrow declaring again for the renominatiou of Coolidge and in it wiH answer objections on the ‘third term” score. This statement will he put forth as a “feeler,” and coming fi’eni Fess will bear a peculiarly official tinge. Seeks to Check Ixnvden Fess recently has called at the White House often. For a year he has been talking another term for Coolidge and getting others to talk it. Tiie pronouncements for another trm issued in the last few weeks by official visitors to the White House bear witness of the movement. He has taken a most active part in trying to head off the boom of former Governor Lowden of Illinois by formulating a compromise farm relief program. The plan is to have western farm Republicans bring this program forward, with the Administration giving its acquiescence. Play Waiting Game The reaction in the next few months to such feelers as the Fess pronouncement and such active efforts as the compromsio farm relief program will show how the wind blows. Otter supposed candidates for the nomination, except Lowden and Senatic Borah of Idaho, have kept very quiet recently, waiting to see what happens. If the Coolidge movement becomes general they will have to get on the band wagon, and in time to be on hand for the minor prizes handed out to the faithful at (lie finish, jfr Much may depencfaipon Coolidge’s success with the next Congress, unless the sentiment for him is so strong by that time he will stand out above anything Congress may do. The Senate may be Democraticin policy—at least anti-Administra-tion forces will control—so that the blame for any failings might be shifted easily.
