JAPAN KEEPS FIRE OF WRATH AT Ul ALIVE Immigration Ban Still Is Sore Subject Among Tokio Leaders. WOUND REMAINS OPEN Aged Statesman, Friend of America, Says Stand Is Unjust. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-How&rd Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—The ban on Japanese immigration, established five years ago, is far from being a dead issue, despite what appears to be the growing impression on Capitol hill. That the subject should be discussed before the Institute of Pacific Relations, now in session in Kyoto, Japan, with a full delegation of Americans in attendance, was inevitable. In a significant message to the gathering from Viscount Shibusawa, whose illness prevents him from being present, he said: “The controversy arising from American immigration legislation in 1924 is not closed. The wound inflicted so needlessly on our national honor still is open and will remain open until the matter is settled rightly. “I think it is necessary to make this plain statement,” the aged viscount explained, “because there seems to be an impresison in America that the incident is as good as forgotten in Japan.” Friend of America Viscount Ei-Ichi Shibusawa, “grand old man" of Japan, is nearing his ninetieth birthday. His body is bending under its weight of years, but his mind is as keen as ever. He has the reputation of being one of the best friends America has in the Far East and he has visited this country, where he was feted greatly, a number of times, notably in 1902, 1910 and 1915. Like Secretary Andrew Mellon, the viscount is a business man, banker and multi-millionaire, but served his country as a high official of the treasury during the early years of the restoration. The very anti-thesis of a jingo, having devoted many of his best years to creating a more friendly sentiment in his country for the United States, his words well may be taken at their face value. The Japanese feel they should be placed on a quota basis like other people. They contend that under the existing quota law only about 150 of them could be admitted every year, and that this number is so infinitesimally small compared with our enormous population, or even with the large number of other nationals admitted annually that it could not possibly have any visible effect on our standard of living, or on any of our social, economic or other institutions.

Japanese Watch and Walt Officially the attitude of the Japanese government Is one of watchful waiting. For the moment no diplomatic moves with a view to reopening the question are contemplated. What is ardently hoped, however, is that the government at Washington will, of its own accord, see fit to treat Japan as it is treating other advanced civilizations and thus remove what every Japanese feels to be a standing reflection on his race. Upon leaving America fo* the Orient last summer. I asked one of the most prominent members of the senate foreign relations committee If he felt congress might take such step. In substance his reply was: “I certainly see no signs of such a thing at present. Anyway, it seems to me that if possible the whole matter should be left lust where it is.” This is the attitude to which Viscount Shibusawa referred in his message to the Institute of Pacific Relations. Matter Not Forgotten This writer is in position to state that if the i. in on Japanese immigration has been forgotten in this country, such is emphatically not the case in Japan. During a sixweeks tour pf that country earlier in the year. I found this question uppermost whenever Japanese and Americans met. Everybody wanted to know if anything was to be done about it, any time soon. Eventually, unless the United States of its own volition finds a satisfactory solution, this issue, directly touching the national honor, as the Japanese view it, will bob up again to make fresh trouble between the two countries.

EVERSON SATISFIED Pastor Defends War Job Decision

COP'S BULLETS HALT JOBBERY Bars Pried on North Side Pharmacy Windows. A motor police detail interrupted a safe robbery in the Barnhart pharmacy, 39 East Thirty-fourth street early today, and fired four shots at a burglar who fled. Roy Nelson, 25, Annex hotel, 343% West Washington street, and Albert Carter, 23, Zanesville, 0., arrested in the vicinity less than an hour later, were held today on vagrancy charges under fligh bond, for questioning as suspects. Patrolling the north side, Motor Policemen James Graham and Dap Cummins drove in the rear of the pharmacy about 3:30. They noted that the bars on a rear window had been pried apart. Graham guarded the rear of the store, while Cummins talked toward the front. One man leaped through the front door, and fled toward Shortridge high school. Cummins fired four times, and the man fell twice. Police squads searching the neighborhood later found Nelson hiding in a shed in the rear of 3131 North Meridian street. Carter; whom Cummins identified as his target in the escape, was picked up at Twentyninth and Illinois streets by A. M. McQuat, Southport, a merchant policeman. Nothing was taken from the drug store, a check-up revealed. The outer door of the safe, which was unlocked, had been opened, and the yeggs were trying to pry open the inner door when frightened away.

WOMAN BATTLES TO KEEP HER PETS

Police Report Hatchet Was Hurled at Employe of Dog Pound. Defying a criminal court order, police said, Mrs. Marilyn Suzanna Krauss today refused to surrender her half dozen pet dogs to dog pound authorities, hurled a hatchet at a pound employe who demanded them, and announced sjie would shoot any one who attempted their removal from her home at 3445 Capitol avenue, according to the police report. Mindful of the recital of Mrs. Krauss’ tribulations he has heard in j criminal court in the last few day’s, Judge James A. Collins ordered no drastic steps for the pets’ removal. He left to Sergeant Thomas Bledsoe, Indianapolis Human Society officer, dog pound authorities, and police the problem of transferring the canines to the pound. Sergeant Bledsoe, Dr. Elizabeth Conger, superintendent of the dog pound; Mrs. Nora Schlegel, pound deputy, and George Ardtise, 19, Negro, driver of the dog catcher’s truck, comprised the delegation which called on Mrs. Krauss this morning to get her dogs. Neighbors’ complaints had brought a nuisance conviction in municipal court, affirmed by criminal court. The capture of one dog and her litter of twelve pups in the garage was effected quietly enough, but as Ardtise attempted to enter the back door of Mrs. Krauss’ dwelling he

Key to Murder Provided by Feathered Detective MURDER had been committed. Behind the slayer lay a tangled trail of evidence that only confused the Investigators and caused suspicion to rest at various times on all the boarders in the Rhodes house. But there had been a witness to the crime—a feathered nemesis whose seemingly inconsequential utterances set a sharp-thinking youpg detective on the right path and ran a devilishly clever criminal to earth. He was indeed an avenging parrot, this pet of the lonely woman who was murdered in the Rhodes house, and from him the most fascinating mystery serial of the year takes its title. Read “The Avenging Parrot,” which started in the Pink’Edition of The Times Tuesday. It will be published only in the Pinks.

Maj. Gen. W. G. Everson

BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—Pastor Emeritus William Graham Everson of the Muncie (Ind.) First Baptist church is a majorgeneral now and smilingly admits he probably will be called a hypocrite, and worse, for leaving the pulpit to become chief of the militia bureau of the war department. “A fellow wrote to me the other day that I would go to hell for this,” Everson related. “Maybe he's right. If he is, I am sure I won’t be traveling a lonesome road.” "If we ever have another war,” he continued, “I think the churches will be to blame for it. The discord, friction and misunderstanding in the world ought to be the food for pretty careful thought; and it is the mission of the ahui'chcs to remedy that situation. “Os course, support of a war in great national emergencies is a legitimate activity for a preacher. But when a fellow loses his head, ho is sunk. A pulpit shouldn’t be a hurrah station. I look at this duty as chief of the militia bureau as an opportunity for service. If I can play to the game and command respect here, I think I will do an indirect service to religion.” a a a EVERSON Is a fighter. He was a private in the Spanish-Amer-ican war and subsequently has held every enlisted grade and commissioned rank up to major-general. During the war he was colonel of the Three Hundred Thirty-second Infantry, Eighty-third division, and organized the American sector along the Piave battle front in Italy. He commanded American occupationary troops in Austria and the Balkans after the war. He was a national guard and reserve briga-dier-general when ordered to Washington. When he offered his resignation to the church in Muncie, the congregation would have none of it and elevated him pastor emeritus. His, pride therein is considerable. Everson just has taken his oath of office in succession to MajorGeneral Creed C. Hammond, whose four-year term as chief expired last summer.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1929

INDICTED MAN SUPPORTED IN MAYOR]! RACE East Chicago Situation Among Unusual Ones in Indiana. CANDIDATE BY PARDON Prisoner Coolidge Freed Seeks Highest Gary Office. Voters in Indiana cities and towns will go to the polls Tuesday to elect municipal officials with unusual situations prevailing at some points. One of these situations is in East Chicago, where Mayor Raleigh P. Hale, facing a federal indictment charging conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws, remains on the Republican ballot as a candidate for re-election. Among developments In the campaign is announcement of Frank Callahan, former mayor, that he is aligned with the forces supporting Hale. Roswell O. Johnson, Republican candidate for mayor of Gary, was pardoned by President Coolidge after being convicted of plotting dry law violation. It is predicted he will defeat Emmet N. White, his Democratic opponent. Mayor Quit Race

Anderson has witnessed some unusual political moves in the last few weeks, including resignation from the Republican ticket of F. M. Williams, candidate for re-election as mayor. He took that step after all other candidates deserted him, going over to a Citizens ticket. After he quit, the ticket was made the Republican slate. Its candidate for mayor is A. P. Priest. Henry Quigley, Republican, Is conceded victory in the mayoralty race at Kokomo, which normally returns a majority of 1,000 over the Democrats. However, there is a strong campaign on for control of the city council so that defeat of James P. Davis, Democratic candidate for mayor, will not necessarily mean complete rout of his party. George Dale, militant editor, who is the Democratic candidate for mayor of Muncie, is providing the fireworks for the campaign there, which is remarkable in that charges are being made to the effect that Earl Randolph, Republican city chairman, is favorable to Dale, while Wilbur Sims, the Democratic leader, is friendly to Robert Barnes, Republican candidate for mayor. Quiet at Evansville

J. Stuart Hopkin§, Republican candidate for mayor of Evansville by virtue of his defeat in the spring primary of Mayor Herbert Males and his cohorts, and Frank W. Griese, his Democratic opponent, have conducted comparatively quiet campaigns. Politicians are predicting a light vote. Michigan City is politically "up in the air,” due mostly to the decision by the Indiana supreme court that the city manager law by which it had been governed is unconstitutional. The latest development is a ruling by the state board of election commissioners that the filing by Republican candidates w'as illegal. The list was given the city clerk under the manager form. The state board says it should have been given the clerk who took office after the federal form was restored following the court decision. One of the quietest campaigns in history is being carried on at Ft. Wayne. William J. Hosey, three times mayor, is the Democratic candidate for the office, and is opposed by Jacob Bill, Republican, and James T. Johnson, independent. Normally, Ft. Wayne is Republican by about 3,000 margin. Klan Issue Raised Among the hotly contested town elections, tne one at Dublin is outstanding, the klan issue being in the spotlight. Three members of the present anti-klan board of trustees may be replaced by those of other views, as only one, Robert Lingenfelder, is seeking re-election. One town, Gimco, in Madison county, will hold its first election Tuesday, having been only recently incorporated. It has only seven voters, and four offices are to be filled". Another new town in the same county, Aladdin, W’ill hold its second election. There is but one ticket in each. Summitville’s election will be the ultimate in harmony. There is but one ticket, the Democratic.

Socialist Candidate Will Poll Enormous Vote; La Guardia Is Goat. • BY GILBERT SWAN, NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Oct, 30.—New York’s famous “late” mayor also will be its next mayor. As usual, he will set a style for silk braided afternoon coats; he will arrive late at all social functions; his wise cracks will be passed along from Maine to California, and his most casual repartee will belong to the wit of the year. In a word, he will be Jimmy Walker. Yet when James J. Walker takes office again, it will be after a campaign in many ways unique in American politics. The ghost of a murdered Rothstein, king of the gamblers, has haunted the campaign. And a murder mystery as a political ingredient is something for the detective story writers to think about by w r ay of novelty. Graft Is Charged Then, too, Manhattan’s chief park has been invaded by a cover charge night club, with prices far above the common purse. Many hints of “sell-out” and “graft” Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for almost everything up to the presidency—will run up a vote which will break all records. It will, according to the best prophets, be the voice of more than 100,000 persons who are not interested in wise cracks, or opening nights at theater, or styles in clothing, or receptions for visiting heroes. It will be proof that New York has a vast, solid citizenry which goes home nights and turns on its radio. It will be a great vote of protest, for it will drown out even the well-known Republican ballot. La Guardia in Bad The chief opposing candidate to Walker has been the Republican congressman, Fiorello La Guardia. La Guardia has opened several freshly covered graves, all containing skeletons. But he ran against Manhattan indifference, plus what may prove to be a bit of discipline from his own party. La Guardia has not been a regular Republican. Once, when he was spurned by his own party, he turned socialistic candidate and won. Whereafter he was taken back into the fold, only to go insurgent on more than one occasion. By turning him over to the none too tender mercies of New York’s Tammany, the party may expect to make him a better boy. Then, as a further cog in the machinery, has been candidate Richard Enright, one-time police commissioner of the city. Both Enright and La Guardia have been asking for weeks—“ Why was the Rothstein murder mystery never solved?”

Rothstein Case to Fore Their intimation, of course, was that the gambler’s associations hit too close to officialdom. A city magistrate was shown to have held a $20,000 note from the slain gambler, which had been duly repaid. A friend of the administration, who went into bankruptcy only to reappear as an official of the park Casino, was mentioned as having owed a healthy sum. For months it has been hinted that police and officials borrowed money from the gambler. But the majority Is little bothered by the ghost of Rothstein or the club glitter of a public park. They want New York to be gay, and to be gay one must be able to forget easily. And Jimmy Walker has been and remains a sort of symbol of Metropolitan sophistication debonair, wise, snappily dressed and capaole of handling his wit in the best and worst of company.

KILLED WIFE TO ‘SAVEHER SOUL’ Religious Fanatic Calmly Tells of Strangling. B’i United Press NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Oct. 30. —George St. Claii\ 22, strangled his 18-year-old wife because he feared she might sometime stray from the Christian life, he testified at his trial here Tuesday. He also told how, while shopping with her, he purchased the shovel with which he intended to bury her. “I met my wife, June, at a revival,” he said, “and married her because she was a Christian and lived as God wanted her to. We said grace at each meal. “At breakfast one morning, the idea occurred to me to kill her for fear she might stray from the Christian life. This plan was strengthened by the fact that I soon lost my job and was unable to care for her. "I feel no remorse,” he concluded. “I believe I sent my wife and her unborn baby right into heaven.” The defense intends to use St. Clair’s testimony to prove him insane. The state will use it as the basis for a death penalty plea. WRIT SOUS ARE SET School Ticket Cases to Be Argued Thursday. Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin will hear arguments at 2 p. m.

GLOSSBRENNER 1$ BERATED AS EDUCATION FOE ‘Children Go to School Too Long,’ Statement Laid to Candidate. 'TAX MONEY WASTED’ Members of Board Assail Chamber of Commerce for Stand. Charges that Allred M. Glossbrenner, Republican candidate for mayor, stated publicly two months ago that “children are permitted to go to school too long, instead of going to work in industry, thus wasting the taxpayers’ money,” were made at the school board meeting Tuesday night. The charge was made by Theodore F. Vonnegut, the only school board member not seeking re-election, when about thirty-five patrons of School 20, at 1125 Spruce street, appeared to demand anew school building. Glossbrenner and the Chamber of Commerce civic affairs committee were berated soundly by board members in explaining why they could not fulfill the new school request. Hits Chamber Stand Following assurance by Mrs. Lillian V. Sedwick that the school “had been” on the building program for 1930, President Charles W. Kern declared: “For several years the board has attempted to build grade schools from direct taxation, instead of by bond issues, which usually cost 100 per cent extra for interest, but each year the chamber civic affairs committee has insisted that the tax board eliminate from the budget items for new buildings. Now we are near our bonded debt limit.” “Yes. and the present Republican candidate for mayor, Mr. Glossbrenner, was the one who came to us this year and presented the chamber’s demands that all buildings be cut out of the budget,” Vonnegut interjected. 1 “Children Should Work” “He said children should go to work instead of going to school so long, to save taxpayers’ money; that we ought to put the schools on double shifts, and criticised us for attempting to provide school buildings for them. That's something you didn't know.” After nearly an hour, in which Kern and Vonnegut, prompted at times by other board members, “campaigned” for the entire board, one member of the delegation remarked : “Maybe we would better go to the Chamber of Commerce and ask for anew school.” The board adopted a resolution to pay $7,000 cash for the Washington township school, in recently annexed territory, and to assume $43,000 bonded indebtedness outstanding. It adopted another resolution authorizing transfer of $34,915 from the special fund to the new Shortridge building fund, to pay for various heating and ventilating, plumbing, and other items in the construction over and above the amount of the bond issue. It was explained the amount had been taken from the special fund several months ago without formality of a transfer resolution.
