TOKIO FESTIVAL OVER. LINDY TO HOP FOR CHINA U. S. Flying Couple Will Rest for Few Days at Ambassador’s Home. BY MILES VAUGHN* United Press Start Correspondent TOKIO, Aug. 31.—Japan’s official tribute to Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindberg, a six-day program of receptions and banquets, was to end tonight with a dinner in their honor hy Premier Rejiro Wakatsuki. Tuesday the family flying team that made the first aerial vacation trip from the United States to Japan will be free to do as they please. The Lindberghs decided to visit the summer villa of Ambassador W. Cameron Forbes at Karuizawa. Colonel Lindbergh addressed military and civilian aviators this morning. This afternoon he had photographs taken as the model for a bronze statue. Sunday the commoners of Tokio paid formal honors to their distinguished visitors. A great crowd at Hibiya park cheered the Lindberghs and heard the colonel predict that eventually air travel between the United States and Japan would be common. The affair was a noisy, gaudy demonstration on the part of the Tokio populace and the way in which the Lindberghs entered the spirit of the occasion won them a great reception. Police had a difficult time clearing the way through immense crowds. A peasant girl, blind in one eye and carrying one baby on her back and another in her arms, walked alongside the car throughout the parade. Mrs. Lindbergh smiled at her often. At the park, the stadium was banked with children waving Japanese and American flags and shouting their greeting. Lindbergh told the United Press he expected to decide today on the route he and his wife will follow to China. He has not decided if they would visit the Philippines. “No importance should be attached to my inquiries regarding routes across Siberia,” he said.

GANG BULLET WOUNDS GIRL Gotham Shooting Is Third in Recent Weeks. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—For the third time in recent weeks gangsters sniping at an enemy across a street crowded with women and children have wounded an innocent bystander. The latest victim is Jennie Ballantino, 18, shot in the wrist by a wild bullet from the customary “big black sedan.” The shooting occurred Sunday night in the crowded “Red Hook” section of Brooklyn, shortly after police obtained anew clew in their search for Vincent Coll, racketeer wanted for questioning in connection with the “child massacre'’ five weeks ago.

Miss Ballantino was on her way to a movie with friends when the stray bullet lodged in her wrist. She was not badly hurt. Scores of children ran to the shelter of doorways as the gunmen fired from their car at Joseph Santora, 45, former boss longshoreman who had complained to police that racketeers had tried to extort money from him.

HOGSTON DENIES SEEKING PARDON OF STEPHENSON Threatens Libel Action in Reply to South Bend Paper’s Charges. State Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hogston today vehemently denied reports emanating from South Bend, charging emissaries from his office are circulating the D. C. Stephenson pardon petition in both South Bend and Mishawaka. The South Bend News-Times carried a story Sunday saying that it had been learned that headquarters for the petitioners was in Hogston’s office. Informed of this today, Hogston asserted that he will demand retraction of the story or bring a libel suit. Never Saw Petition “I have never seen one of the Stephenson petitions and my office would not take part in circulating a petition for this or any other purpose,” he declared. According to the South Bend story, the petitions were brought there by representatives of the state fire marshal and about 3,000 signatures obtained. It was pointed out that Hogston and his aid, Rollie Granger, were active in the Ku-Klux Klan in Indiana in the palmy days when the Klux captured the Republican party. Activity Is Charged “Activity of the fire marshal’s office for Stephenson is known to meet the opposition of leading Republicans of the state who would prefer that agitation for his release be postponed until after the next election,” the story stated. Granger has been listed numerous times in data given the supreme court, by Stephenson as one of the alleged plotters against his (Stephenson’s) life should he take the witness stand in his own defense at the Noblesville murder trial.
