QUAKE KILLS 12, INJURES SCORES IN CUBAN CITY Many Building’s Damaged by Severe Earth Shocks in Santiago; Flight From Homes Saves Many. * CATASTROPHE STRIKES IN NIGHT Thousands, Aroused in Darkness, Stampede, Terror Stricken, Through Streets; Relief Is Rushed. BY CARLOS PERERA United Pres* Staff Correspondent (CoDsrflght. 1932. by United Press* SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Feb. 3.—A series of earth phocks terrorized this tropical community early today and paused damage to many of the buildings in the city.

GLEANERS WAGE WAR ONPRICES Scale Boosted by Twenty Plant Owners. A price war among the city’s 300 cleaning shops, smouldering since fiteps to organize independent shop owners into a union were begun, flared up again today with some of ]the shops raising prices. The newest phase of the price war arose when a group of cleaning plant owners, operating a number of retail shops, raised r<p_ail prices, at the same time increasing their wholesale price to independent phop owners who do not own cleaning plants, independents said. Most of the plant-owning retailers increased retail prices from the former rate of 50 cents to 75 c%nts for suits, cash and carry, and from 60 to 85 cents, delivered, it was understood. Not all plant ownqjfs, however, increased prices, including those who had not decreased their prices below $1 during the price-cutting war. No change in prices was made by the 110 members of the new Retail Cleaners & Dyers union, according to union officials. Union membership is limited to operators not owning their plants. The wholesale price hike, according to T. A. Robinson, union secretary, was made to force the small cleaners to Increase prices and to “weaken the union.” “Fortunately,” he said, “there are enough wholesalers here sympathetic with the aims of the union who did not increase fheir prices to Us, that we were able to avoid an increase in retail prices. “We are waiting until we reach pur goal of 175 members before we attempt to raise prices to a fair level,” said Ralph C. Worley, an pffleial of the union. Chicago Dry Chief to Hawaii fly United Press WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.—Colonel J. F. J.

The shocks also were felt at Guantanamo, Baracoa, Holguin, and Bayamo, but little damage was reported and only a few persons were injured. Santiago was quiet in sleep when the first shock rocked the city at 1:30 a. m. The half-dressed population of the city rushed to the street, muttering prayers for safety. They milled in the streets, clogging all traffic, watching buildings crumble. At every half hour until dawn, the temblors continued in lessening degree, causing new consternation. Many Buildings Damaged Darkness added to the disorder as power plants were damaged. Dawn, however, brought decreased fears and officials started checking on the damage. First survey showed 75 per cent of the buildings had been damaged. Among these was the maternity hospital. Alothers and new-born babies were caught within the falling debris. Many patients were helpless and unable to leave the institution. The wails of the babies could be heard as the roar of the collapsing building continued. None was believed killed there, however, although some were injured. For hours the populace streamed nervously through the streets. It was this quick turnout when the first roar from the underground came, which lessened the casualties, officials said. First work of officials was to check up on the city’s power facilities. The water power was not affected and substations of the Cuban Electric Company were undamaged, although much of the lighting system was damaged. Reports Are Exaggerated “The earthquake centered around Santiago and caused considerable damage, although press reports are exaggerated,” the manager of the local power company said, referring to reports which had placed the death list in exceedingly high figures. Buildings in the main part of the city received the worst damage. These included the railroad station, the San Carlos Club, the Regent hotel, the city jail as well as the maternity hospital. Several prisoners in the jail escaped amid the confusion, W'hile there was great excitement among other prisoners trapped within the 1 building. Guests at the Regent hotel 1 were thrown from their beds. None of the staff connected with I the American consulate was injured. Relief expeditions started today for here from Havana. Several army planes were dispatched with medical supplies and food, while : Secretary of Public Works Onetti also was ordered to come here from Havana.

VENUE CHANGE REFUSED; VEHLING TRIAL TUESDAY

Coroner Fred W. Vehling will be tried by a criminal court jury Tuesday on a charge of bribe solicitation despite protests of his attorneys that they had not asked for trial by jury. The ruling was made today by Fred C. Gause, special judge, who issued a call for 100 veniremen after overruling the defense motion for a change of venue from the county. Gause set the trial hour at 9:30. In overruling the venue change motion, the court held that in r. community as large as Indianapolis, prejudice gained from reading newspapers would have no effect on a jury’s decision. “If this were a small community that situation might apply,” Gause said. “There will be no trouble because of newspapers in this city and

Fall must remain in prison eighty-six more days. 1 The former secretary of the interior, sentenced to a year and a day in prison for his part in the oil lease scandal, today was denied a parole.

no trouble to get a jury to try the case. There is no more danger here than in an adjoining county where Indianapolis newspapers are read.” As Gause directed drawing veniremen, Fred Barrett, defense counsel, said the defense had not asked for a jury trial, but had waived this right. Records show a jury trial was requested. “If you don’t ask for a jury trial, I will,” Gause interrupted and completed his order for prospective jurors. Barrett complained that Vehling’s case has had “wide publicity” and the names of grand jury witnesses were published. “We did not ask for the venue change for the purpose of delay,” he told the court. “We are ready for trial.”

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1932

DEB TELLS OF HER LOVE FOR SLAJNYOUTH Rose Allen Is Called by State to Link Murder to Her Brother. SHOWS FRATERNITY PIN Society Bud Emotionless at Trial; Donaldson, Attorney Clash. By United Press NORRISTOWN, Pa., Feb. 3.—The state of Pennsylvania today called the beautiful 19-year-old debutante, Rose Allen, to the stand to testify against her brother, Edward H. B. Allen, charged with murdering her suitor, Francis A. Donaldson 111, because he objected to their marriage. Under the eyes of a dozen members of Philadelphia exclusive society to which she belongs and which was background to her love tragedy, the girl came forward with head high and eyes steady and sat in the witness chair. She was dressed entirely in black, accentuating her pallor. Her brown eyes Hashed over the courtroom, then fell to her hands which she held crossed in her lap. Her testimony was devoted to a chronological recital of the hap-* penings during the afternoon and evening preceding the tragedy. In only two instances was her testimony damaging to her brother. She said that Eddie had threatened “to blow Francis’ head off,” and that he kept a gun in his locker at his club.

Clashes With Atiomey She followed Francis A. Donaldson Sr., father of her dead suitor, who had identified the bloody garments in which Francis died. He acidly .reprimanded William T. Connor, defense attorney, who made a suggestion regarding the manner of his testimony, with “I am taking my instructions from the court.” The defense did not cross-exam-ine him. Edward watched his sister closely. Never once did she show that she was aware of his presence. It was an intense, dramatic moment. Horace Allen, the elderly, broken father sat slumped, his eyes on the floor. “Will you stata-whether you were engaged to Francis A. Donaldson on Nov. 9?” District Attorney Nase asked. “I was.” Her voice was a low monotone, entirely lifeless. “When did you become engaged to him?” The defense objected and was sustained. “Show the jury the pin Francis gave you.” Displays Her Pin Rose stood and displayed the fraternity pin she wore on her coat. She was self possessed, well poised. Rose was interrogated closely by District Attorney Nase about a purported conversation she had with her brother in the kitchen of the Allen apartment. When she left the kitchen, Edward followed her into her bedroom, she testified. “Eddie said he would see me at a party the next night. ‘Don’t forget to tell Francis what I said,' Eddie said.” “What had Eddie told you?” Nase asked. “To tell Francis to stay away from our apartment.” “Where was Edward when he told you you should anonunce your engagement before Jan. 1?” he asked. The girl moistened her lips. “In my bedroom.” “When I left the apartment, Eddie and father still were eating in the dining room,” she continued. “Did they speak to you as you passed through?” Went to the Bellevue “Edward did. I then went to a hotel to wait for Francis. He waited about five minutes in the lobby when he came. We got into his car and went to the Bellevue,” Rose said. “What time of the evening did you give Edward’s message to Francis?” the prosecution asked. “On the way in. When we got to the hotel we went to the room I had engaged. Twenty minutes later Albert G. Lucas, a friend of Francis, came into the room. “We decided that Francis and Lucas should go to Green Hill farms. (The apartment house where the Allens lived.) They left the hotel together.” “That was the last time you saw Francis alive?” “Yes,” she replied without emotion. Nase turned the witness over to the defense for cross-examination. Court then was recessed for luncheon. Leaving the stand she passed near her brother. “Hello, Eddie,” she whispered. BARE GASOLINE RACKET Virginia Officials Find Pump That Drains Instead of Fills.

Peace Proposal Spumed by Japan; Invaders Are Hurled Back by Chinese

Defenders Repulse Savage Attack on Trenches in Native Quarter. U. S. ADMIRAL ON SCENE Taylor Arrives on Flagship as Fray Rages With Renewed Fury. BY H. R. EKINS United Press Staff Correspondent (Coovrleht. 1932, bv United Press* SHANGHAI, Feb. 3.—The Chinese held off the Japanese attack and drove them back today in a fierce battle at the Hongkew border of the international settlement. A similar battle went on in the neraby Chapei native quarter and Chinese forts at Woosung, twenty miles from the city, were heavily bombarded by Japanese warships. Despite withering machine gun, artillery and rifle fire and aerial bombing, the Chinese, without leaving their own trenches, drove the Chinese back with their nine fieid pieces a quarter mile from the rifle range on the Hongkew border of the settlement. Japanese Admit Repulse The Japanese admitted they had again failed to dislodge the Chinese from the North station, on the Chapei border of the settlement. Japanese casualties were announced officially at four killed and twenty-two seriously wounded. Headquarters of the Nineteenth Chinese route army announced officially today that the guns of the Woosung forts had sunk a Japanese destroyer and forced others to with r draw, seriously crippled. Admiral Koichi Shiosawa, Japanese naval commander, promptly denied the Chinese claim. Chapei in Flames While an impressive demonstration and attack by fifteen Japanese airplanes failed to alter the military situation, the bombers for the second consecutive week wrought havoc to private property and noncombatants in the Chinese city. Tonight the skies were reddened as new fires in Chapei blazed along a three-mile front between Hongkew and Chapei, the result of incendiary bombs dropped this afternoon. The Chinese also resorted to incendiarism, setting fire to two Japanese factories outside the settlement. After a day of hostilities and terror, however, the arrival of Rear Admiral Montgomery M. Taylor was a definitely stabilizing factor, and Edwin S. Cunningham, the United States consul-general, and others were optimistic over the settlement’s position. Chinese civilians assumed the attitude, “Everything’s all right, now the American admiral is here.” Conferring With Officials Taylor remained aboard his flagship, the Houston, where he conferred with Cunningham, Colonel R. S. Hooker, commanding the marines, and other settlement officials. The first concrete result of the conference was the announcement by Hooker that the Japanese marines, which for several weeks have been billeted on the Gordon road, within the American sector of the settlement, would be withdrawn Thursday. Hooker said the evacuation would begin at 6 p. m. central time today. The British will Snish taking over tonight at midnight (Shanghai time) and the Japanese will retire to the central barracks in the marine sector, where full evacuation will take place.

CHINA READY TO ACCEPT ANGLO-U. S. PEACE PACT

By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 3—The state department today announced receipt of a “favorable” reply from the Chinese government to the British-American proposals for peace in the far east. Officials would not reveal details of the reply, which was communicated from Nanking, but it was understood the Chinese answer was full acceptance of the five-point peace program. Japan’s response has not yet been received. The government, however, took cognizance of ~>ress reports that Tokio would accept all but the fifth point of the British-American program which was communicated to Tokio and Nanking yesterday. This last point provides for the

PREMIER DEFENDS COURSE OF JAPAN

any bombs were dropped on the Chinese city of Shanghai or on the international settlement. The whole counter-attack was directed exclusively against the attacking Chinese army. It is to be observed that the concerted measures for defense, which included the allotment of one sector to Japanese forces, were the outcome of a situation rapidly growing worse.

LEAGUE GIVEN NEWAMBITION Anglo-American Action Is Spur to Peace Hopes. BY SAMUEL DASHIEL United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Feb. 3.—Action of Great Britain and the United States through the League of Nations council to prevent war in the far east, has increased hope of the League of Nations for actual achievement by the world disarmament conference. The United States, although not a member of the league, gave the league anew lease on life by using it as a channel for to end the conflict between China and Japan. The adherence of France, Italy and Germany to the Anglo-Ameri-can representatives to Tokio and Nanking made it possible for the league to claim the achievement of clarifying the French and Italian positions in the far east, hitherto undisclosed. The league members particularly stressed the fact that the announcement of Anglo-American action was made through the league council and not separate! ’ at Washington and London.

MERCURY TO DROP 20-Degree Slide Due for City, Says Forecaster; Dropping 7 degrees in six hours today, the mercury was scheduled to slide to 22 tonight.

settlement of all Japanese-Chinese issues in the spirit of the Kellogg pact and the League of Nations resolution of Dec. 9, providing for a neutral investigation of conditions in Manchuria. Failure of Japan to accept the fifth point, it was believed, will not wreck the peace program. Although neutral officials are eager to see a complete settlement of all Japanese-Chinese troubles, their first concern is to mitigate the perilous situation at Shanghai, now threatening thousands of foreigners. Officials here said that before any positive reaction to the Japanese response could be stated there must be consultation between British and American statesmen. The program of peace was drawn up by officials of both countries.

by international forces, and in accordance with this scheme a particular sector was alloted to the Japanese. The Japanese navy proceeded to carry out this international duty by landing a force of marines. These men immediately were -subjected to a galling fire by Chinese troops. In the execution of their international duty the Japanese returned the fire. It is believed that soldiers of no other country would or could have done otherwise; certainly American troops would not have been deterred by Chinese bullets from the execution of their appointed and' accepted duty. The Chinese forces which attacked them being in great strength, and proceeding to attack and destroy the Japanese residential quarter of Shanghai with its 30,000 Japanese inhabitants, the only possible mode of warding them off was the employment by our navy of aircraft and artillery. i It is entirely untrue to say that

The tension between Japanese and Chinese forces in Shanghai in the presence of overwhelming Chinese forces outside the city sadly resulted in a crescendo of riots and j atrocities, and Japanese went about ! in terror of their lives. It must be clearly understood that there are two cities in Shanghai, the international settlement, internationally governed, and the Chinese municipality. The international authorities, to restore order and security, took the concerted measures alluded to above, and on Jan. 28 proclaimed a state of siege. Says Pact Was Violated The Chinese city presented a more difficult situation, but on Jan. 28, the mayor gave definite assurances for the future to the Japanese consul-general which were regarded as satisfactory. It was in the early hours of Jan. 29 that, despite these assurances, Japanese marines were without any provocation attacked in force. Strict instructions had been issued to the Japanese authorities, civil and military, to limit to a minimum the necessary measures of self-defense, and co-operate with the consular and naval authorities of the other powers in all possible ways for protection of important interests of foreign residents in Shanghai. So that, if all parties interested refrain from panic, there is every prospect of the conflict’s being localized and brought to a prompt termination. I am glad to have this opportunity of making known the essential and undeniable facts. The whole problem presents enormous difficulties which demand for their solution forbearance and fairness through comprehension of the basic details by all concerned. Calls Boycott Unfair. The boycott continues universal throughout Shind, enforced by terrorists and exercised by the party in control, with the countenance and tacit encouragement of the government. It can not be called a spontaneous, popular movement and Japan feels it is contrary to*her treaty on commerce which stipulates for freedom of trade; and contrary aLo to peaceful friendly relations. It is driving thousands of Japanese out of business and out of China. I am sure a candid examination of the facts will convince any one that in the Shanghai case her forces could not have acted otherwise than they did with ’ue regard to their international duty.

Borah Disagrees By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee today held that Premier Inukai’s statement to the United Press explaining the Japanese position on Shanghai was inadequate. He held particularly that further explanation was needed for the premier’s claim that Japanese did not bomb the Chinese city of Shanghai. The White House, state department and members of Borah’s committee studied the Inukai statement closely, the government itself refraining from comment in a delicate situation.

Allied Efforts Blocked by Tokio Attitude on Conquered District. SCORNS KELLOGG PACT Demands Withdrawal of Chinese Forces From Shanghai Area. BY MILES W. VAUGHN United Press Staff Correspondent (Copvrlght. 1932. bv United Press* TOKIO, Feb. 3—Japan today rejected the fifth provision in the identic American and British notes designed to restore peace in China. The provision called for settlement of all outstanding controversies in China in the spirit of the Kellogg pact outlawing war. And such settlement would have meant loss of Japanese gains in Manchuria. The rejection, based on the fact that Manchurian troubles would be included by the provision, threatened to block efforts of world powers, led by America and Britain, to stop the warfare in Shanghai which threatens the peace of the world. Accepted Conditionally The first four identic proposals in the notes were conditionally acceptable, the United Press was informed officially. Japan, however, reserved the right to protect Japanese nationals with Japanese troops, it was emphasized. The government feels that the immediate and most pressing problem is to secure withdrawal of the Chinese forces to a safe distance from Shanghai, to prevent further clashes with Japanese forces there. It was felt that the negotiations for peace should envisage the creation of permanent neutral zones around all the principal Chinese ports, thus eliminating in future the menace of attack on these cities by Chinese. Clings to Manchuria Foreign Minister Kenkichi Yoshizawa drew up identic replies to the British and American notes. The flat rejection of the fifth point indicated Japan has no intention of giving up Manchuria. The article in question, the last of five conditions outling peace moves, said: “Upon acceptance of these conditions, prompt advances to be made in negotiations to settle all outstanding controversies between the two nations in the spirit of the pact of Paris and the resolution of the League of Nations of Dec. 9, without prior demand or reservation and with the aid of neutral observers or participants.” W. Cameron Forbes, United States ambassador, and Sir Francis Lindley, British envoy, presented the identic notes. Copies were transmitted to the foreign office in Nanking at the same hour. The Stock Exchange opened again today, with prices slightly improved. The Yokohama Silk Exchange, however, was not functioning, due to unsettled conditions in Shanghai.
