WORLD FINDS DOOR BARRED IN MANCHURIA Japan Works With Feverish Haste to Tighten Grip on Conquered Area. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Serlnos-Howard Foreirn Editor WASHINGTON, March 16.—Reports received here indicate that Japan is proceeding full steam ahead to cash in on her conquesi of Manchuria—in fact, if not in law, locking, barring and bolting the “open door.” Arriving “on the spot”—to use the League of Nations’ phrase—exactly six moftths after Japan’s seizure of the territory, the league’s commission of inquiry finds itself face to face with a fait accompli. General Jonjo, Japan's “big stick” in Manchuria, has completed the installation of four puppet governors at the head of Fengtien, Kirin, Hei-lung-Kiang and Jehol, China’s four eastern provinces; likewise a puppet “dictator” at Changchun, new capital of the whole region. Speed Up Seizure After its remarkable delay, therefore, the commission's arrival coincides with Japan's amazing though veiled bid for world recognition for her new “independent” state of Manchouquo, as she now calls the territory chiseled out of China. The political and economic organization of this thinly camouflaged, but none the less real, part of the Japanese empire, it is stated on good authority, is proceeding at a feverish pace. Mortgages on Chinese farms, according to the above source, are be- j ing foreclosed wholesale by Japanese banks. New lines of railway are being rushed to completion. Anew outlet for north Manchurian products, via the port of Seishin. Korea, only about 100 miles from Vladivostok, is to be connected by rail with Kirin and Harbin. Mineral and timber concessions are being opened, public utilities expanded and the management of Chinese-owned railways taken over. “Absorbed” by Japan The Chinese officials who for years blocked Japan in Manchuria have been run out of the country, and General Hon jo’s native puppets apparently are helping him to make up for lost time. At Harbin there have been two electric light and power plants, one owned and operated by the Chinese, one by the Japanese. The Chinese did all the business. Since the turn of affairs, however, the Japanese have absorbed the Chinese plant and now have a monopoly. Dispatches from Mukden state that the Japanese are making plans to take care of from 300,000 to 500,000 Japanese immigrants in the next year. While the claim that Japanese farmers can not compete with Chinese and Koreans, is true, so long as the work is done by hand, it is not true where machinery is used. And Manchuria is ideal for cultivation and harvesting by tractor. Revolt Is Reported By United Press TOKIO, March 16. —Reports of further fighting by Chinese revolting against the new independent state of Manchuria reached here today, as reorganization of the cabinet of Premier Inukai was delayed. Hie war office ridiculed rumors spread by a native news agency that a Japanese airplane had been shot down over Soviet territory on the Manchurian frontier. Resignation of Home Minister Tukugoro Nakahashi was accepted. The premier agreed to fill the office himself temporarily. He abandoned attempts to reorganize the government, however, after Overseas Minister Toyosuke Hata declined to succeed to the ministry of justice. While reports were received of the evacuation of Japanese women and children from Manchouli, foreign sources reported Soviet military activity on the Manchurian frontier. Cancellation of regular traffic on part of the Ussuri railroad to clear the way for movement of military forces was reported.

Ethel Barrymore MARKET STUDY IS CONTINUED Angle Parking May Be Given Trial for 90 Days. Definite recommendations for improvements at city market are expected to be formulated by Mayor j Reginald H. Sullivan's city market study committee next Tuesday, The committee tentatively decided on several points at its meeting Tuesday, including a ninetyday trial of angle parking on Market street side of the market and establishment of a checking room on Alabama street at Wabash street. A recommendation that laws and rules governing the market be enforced strictly is expected to be made. This would mean abolishing outside stands, except to care for overflow, and -would require releasing of stands to the highest bidder each December.

Alice Longworth Uij United Press WASHINGTON, March 16. Senator Frederic Collin Walcott (Rep.. Conn.), reputed to be President Herbert Hoover’s closest senate confidante, is so forgetful he invited Ethel Barrymore, Alice Roosevelt Longworth and others to lunch—then forgot to appear himself. The incident, which happened ten days ago, but is not generally known, came during the Barrymore appearance here in her play, “The School for Scandal.” The luncheon was at the senate restaurant. That lapse of memory has helped the gentlman from Connecticut clinch the title as the senate’s most forgetful man. Once he gave a dinner for a Polish dignitary in New York. Sixteen distinguished guests assembled, but no host. He was found finally at his desk in Hartford, Conn., too late to reach his own party. But Walcott never forgets his friendship with Mr. Hoover. The administration assigned him the valuable privilege of sponsoring the reconstruction finance corporation bill. He is the unqualified White House spokesman in the banking and currency committee, although Majority Leader James E. Watson is a member, too. When Mr. Hoover wanted bear raiders punished, he called Walcott, not Watson, to his office. Ethel Berrymore is in Indianapolis today, appearing in the drama, “School for Scandal.” Woman Is Hurt in Crash Hip injuries were incurred by Mrs. Mabel Myers, 7900 East Washington street, when an automobile in which she was riding collided with another driven by E. Clay, 31, of 3925 Winthrop avenue, at Twenty-eighth street and Shriver avenue, Tuesday afternoon.

THE INDTSNAPOLTS TIMES

‘HOUSE WORK’ IRKS FIREMAN; ASKSJVORCE Judge Denies Decree; Now Washes Dishes Only Every Other Day at Station. Fighting fires, doing “housework” at the engine house and then returning home to find dishes stacked and floors to be mopped brought about the marital revolt of Otto H. Rugenstein, city fireman, he said. But today Rugenstein had scored only a 50 per cent victory. He has escaped the housework at home by moving to the engine house, but he failed to get a divorce. Denial of the decree was ruled by Superior Judge John W. Kern, who decided neither Rogenstein nor his wife could obtain a divorce in his court. So, today, while Rugenstein did his “housework” at the engine house, Rugenstein had to make up his mind whether to try again the avenue of escape the law is supposed to provide. Rugenstein testified he had to

Wife ‘Found It? By United Press LAWTON, Okla., March 16. —Want ad in News-Review: “Found—Lady's leather purse in my car. Owner may have same by calling at my office, identifying the property and paying for this ad. If she will explain to my wife that I had nothing to do with its being there, I will pay for this ad.”

wash dishes, sweep and perform other household duties on orders of his wife. If Rugenstein had been in any other occupation, perhaps it might not have seemed such a serious situation. Under the fire department rules, with each fireman having alternate days off and on duty, the “on” days are devoted to working around the engine house in addition to battling flames. Rugenstein charged his wife “lived beyond our means and insisted on running up bills that jeopardized my position.” Mrs. Rugenstein charged him with desertion and failure to provide. Mrs. Rugenstein demanded $5,000 alimony, $25 weekly support and $250 attorney’s fees, while her husband’s original complaint sought only a divorce. Neighbors testified he “did practically all the housework.”

EARLY MORNINO FLAMES CAUSE IMOOMMAGE Park Avenue Duplex Scene of Fire Originating in Attic. Loss estimated at nearly SB,OOO resulted this morning in a fire which damaged a duplex at 16461648 Park avenue and caused minor damage to similar buildings at 1642-1644 and 1652-1654 Park avenue. The heavy damaged was in the duplex owned by Arthur Webb, who occupied the downstairs apartment. Mrs. Irene Riddle and E. H. Latch, a roomer, occupied the remainder of the building. Mrs. Riddle discovered the fire after noticing a cloud of smoke so heavy that she barely could see the adjoining house. She opened a door leading to the attic, and a burst of flame and heat was so strong that she was hurled against a wall. She awoke Latch and seizing her bulldog, Buddy Boy, fled down a rear stairway. Webb estimates damage to the

building he owned and to furniture at $5,000, fully covered by insurance. Mrs. Riddle, who had no insurance, stated her loss might reach SI,OOO. The duplex to the north, owned by W. L. Baker, 2167 North Meridian street, was damaged slightly as were household goods of C. H. Smith, who occupied part of it, the remainder being vacant. Damage is believed to be about $1,500. Dr. Roy Denny was the only tenant in the building south of the Webb duplex. A side of the former structure was scorched. BAR VOTING MACHINES Court Halts Redistricting Move in Elkhart County. By United Press GOSHEN, Ind.. March 16.—Voting machines will not be used in Elkhart county primaries this year because of a court decision continuing a restraining order against redistricting the county.
