CANDIDATE OF WAR PARTY NAMED JAPANESE PREMIER; PRESSURE SWAYS EMPEROR Logical Appointee Shunted to Side, With Militarists in Saddle; Saito Succeeds Slain Inukai. CLASH WITH SOVIET SEEMS NEARER Empire Headed Back to Feudalism, With Army and Navy Clique Seizing Reins at Tokio. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrippi-Hnoard fnrelia Editor WASHINGTON, May 23.—With war between Russia and Japan believed to be in the balance, the military camarilla of Nippon has acted to give itself virtually dictatorial powers. Such is the meaning: of the army and navy clique’s dogged and successful insistence upon their own men being selected to head the new government in place of Premier Inukai, assassinated by a “death band” of young army and navy hotheads a week ago Sunday.

Under all the ordinary rules of the game, Kisaburo Suzuki, president of the Seiyukai, or dominant party, should have succeeded the murdered premier. But pressure was brought to bear against the civilian and Admiral Viscount Salto was named today by Emperor Hirohito Instead. Ruled by “Big Stick” Thus, while the world anxiously awaits the frequently predicted clash between Japan and Soviet Russia over Manchuria, the party of the big stick has obtained for itself a free hand at Tokio. The civilian element within the government now is only a shadow. The empire has gone back to feudalism, to a dictatorship of the clans or Satsuma and Choshiu—the army and the navy. Amazing though it seems to outsiders, the Japanese militarists are demanding farm relief and fewer favors for the moneyed class. In western lands, the generals and the admirals devote themselves to bigger and better armies and navies. Congressmen from agricultural districts usually are the exclusive champions of the farmer, and it is left mostly to the Communists to denounce capitalism. Yet in Japan the general staff appears to be doing all these, and more. Would Form Autarchy Aim of the militarists in Nippon, however, is the formation of an autarchy—complete nationalization of the country’s economics and finances to make itself absolutely self-contained. To accomplish this, as the general staff secs it, the Japanese farmer as well as industrialist must be able to make himself self-supporting within the boundaries of the empire. Accordingly, part of Asia must be brought under the flag of the rising sun, cost what it may. Korea, annexed in 1910. does not fill the bill. South Manchuria, taken over from Russia in 1905, is not enough. All Manchuria, eastern Inner Mongolia and— many Japanese claim—the Maritime provinces of Siberia, belonging to Russia, are necessary to make Japan self-sup-porting and sufficient unto herself. The appalling danger to which this program exposes the world is clear. Already the Japanese army is fighting inside the Russian zone in northern Manchuria, astride the Chinese eastern railway, jointly the property of China and the Soviet Union. Ready for Conflict And at Vladivostok. Russia's eastern seaport and railway terminus, a big force of defenders is waiting, while all along the trans-Siberian line everything is reported to be in readiness to rush reinforcements. What will happen, of course, only a handful of people know. It depends upon four main factors. First, what is in the minds of the Japanese general staff. Second, just how far France and Great Britain, in particular, and some of the other European nations in general will go with Japan just now in support of an attempt to crush Soviet Russia. Third, the extent of China's chaos and. fourth, the attitude of the United States. World problems, like politics, make strange bedfellows. The Interest of China, Russia, and the Jnited States are almost identical, yet Russia and China are not speaking, and the United States does not recognize the Soviet Union. Historically, the European powers would welcome, at least in principle, the dismemberment, of China, but America, Russia and China stand to benefit by exactly the reverse. TAX LIMIT PLANKS URGED BY REALTORS Board Asks Both Farties to Push $1.50 Tax. Both major political parties parties will be asked by the Indianapolis Real Estate Board to include planks in their platforms limiting real estate taxes to 51.50 on each SIOO of assessed valuation, the directors of the organization have announced. A resolution will be given to the Marion county delegations to both conventions which will ask the parties to "assume their proper and necessary responsibility to the peo pie" and include the $1.50 tax pledge. The statement also points out the urgent necessity for equalization of the tax burden. PHILIPPINE TRADE GAINS Huge Increase Noted Since V. S. Acquired Islands in 1898. Bit United Press WASHINGTON.

Good Pickup By Unitee! Press NEW YORK. May 23.—Joseph Edward Tracy thought up a fine racket, based on the universal knowledge that a uniform is always appealing to some young women. Arraying himself in an army • officer's uniform, he made the acquaintance of girls in Battery park, and invited them, one at a time, to be his guest on a 15-cent sea trip, as far as the Statue of Liberty and back. Taken by his manners and clothing for an officer and a gentleman, the girls always were happy with their escort. Suspicion was aroused, however. when Joseph didn't know how to return the salutes of such privates as he met. and the law caught up with him. The peculiar part of this tale Is that Joseph conducted himself properly all the time. “Aw. I just like to wear a uniform.” Joseph explained. “I never meant no harm.”

AW, OLD SPINACH! Worse Than Pain, Says Codona

► 1 ™L MTT - :

BY JOSEPH MITCHELL Time* Staff WrlUr NEW YORK, May 20.—‘The spinach has been worse than the pain,” said smiling Clara Codona, the pink-tighted “Queen of the Flying Trapeze,” who has been lying in j a plaster cast in Polyclinic hospital for twenty-nine days. “The doctor ordered me to eat i spinach,” she said today. "And I said to hell with it. Then I told him I would stay in the cast an extra week if I didn't have to eat ! spinach, but he said spinach gives calcium and is good for busted bones. So, all the time lam eatI ing spinach. It is extremely painful.” , April 15. early in the morning. Codona was practicing a lofty trap art in Madison Square Garde a, when a rope snapped in the midst of a swan drop, and she was hurled to the timbers below, with nothing to break her fall. Her pelvic arch was fractured and her hips were : wrenched. Means Lots of Pain “Just a tough break,” said the reckless, brown-eyed aerialist. “It does not mean I end my career or anything tragic like that. It means a lot of pain and the loss of a year's work with Ringling Brothers and 1 Barnum & Bailey. It means I got I to take a lot of exercise and get in shape for next season. It means I got to go to California and stay in the iun. “It means I got to take a rest when I don't want one. And, more ! than anything else, it means I got !to eat spinach. But. no matter, people have been kind. The nurses f are nice. I am at home in a hospital. And yesterday my divorced husband, the great Alfredo Codona, came to see me and brought me a bouquet. Such nice flowers! ‘He has had tough breaks. His second wife. Lillian Lcitzel, died in a fall. Then, when the circus was I at the Garden, Alfredo ruptured a 1 muscle and was out for two weeks. “What a Dream!” “Oh. well, nurse gave me a steak with the spinach today. What a steak! And I’ve been lying here for weeks, dreaming I am married to a millionaire. I have been buying automobiles and yachts and circuses and hospitals and dresses and new tights. What a dream!" Codona said she had her first accident when she was doubling for Janet Gaynor in ‘‘The Four Devils." A wrenched shoulder. Then one night the rope on one of the traps I was too long and she had to break j her wrist to keep from breaking her neck. “No matter, I saved my neck.” She has had her teeth knocked out in Mexico, four South American 1 countries and Germany. It makes her laugh to think about it. When she played in the cinema "Variety," doubling for Lya de Putti, she was blinded by the lights and had to ! leap from the catch to the pedestal j instinctively. She said it is a nice feeling to be flying blind through j the air. "Now,” she said, reaching for two hand rings a nurse has rigged above | her bed. “I just be still and dream of steaks and millionaires."

Winged Death Youth, Who ‘Couldn’t Be a Flier,’ Kills Self on Plane Ride.

By United Press CHICAGO, May 23.—1n an airplane high above the city—a brief taste of the life for which he longed—Ernest Lengyel, 17, shot himself to death because he believed he could not satisfy his ambition to become an aviator.

Just before the pilot was ready to land his craft, Lengyel drew a sawed-off ,32-calibcr rifle and shot himself fatally in the head. Dally, seeing what had occurred, landed his plane as rapidly as passible. The youth was taken to a hospital and died two hours later. A note in his pocket read: “I was too overanxious to wait for better times. After trying the army and the navy and they rejecting me, which was my only chance to get into aviation, I tried for a job at the airport—tried to learn that way. - “I wanted to die happy. That’s why I did It in a plane." His parents said he had been rejected from military service because of an eye defect.

EVIDENCE OF INDIAN CULTURE DISCOVERED Aborigines, With a Penchant for Engraving, Lived In West. By Unitee! Press VERNAL, Utah, May 23.—Indelible evidences o? primitive Indian culture existing in what i* now Utah, 1.000 to 1.500 years ago, were left behind by aborigines with a penchant for engraving. These petroglyphs, according to Dr. Julian H. Steward, were engraved on stone. One particularly rare specimen, in bas-relief, shows a Pueblo Indian's god. During this early period, the early American Indians existed m nly on corn. They fashioned clay fetishes as offerings to their god;. The main theme of their religious exhortations was better crops. Dr. Steward said Utah was a treasure trove for the anthropologist because Indians, who inhabited this section, left traces of their civilization that have endured.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LUDLOW VOTES A6AINST BEER BILLIN[HOUSE Representative Says He Fears Measure Perils Constitution. By Times Special WASHINGTON. May 23.—Representative Louis Ludlow of the old j Seventh Indiana district today cast his vote against the O'Connor bill, on the house roll call. Six Indiana representatives voted for the bill and five against it. Immediately after the vote Representative Ludlow handed out a lengthy, tortuous and contradictory statement, calculated to enlist the sympathies of both wets and drys. He said he voted against the beer bill because it “would imperil the Constitution,” and likewise because :if passed, the courts immediately : would declare it unconstitutional. He asserted no good could be accomplished y passing the bill in the house, because it was “foredoomed to failure in the senate. - ' Wouldn't Give Real Beer Then he found fault with the measure because, ii passed, it would • not provide “real beer." He also criticised it on the grounds that it was ‘likely to bring unjustifiable ; discredit on the anti-prohibition 1 cause.” He concluded by admonishing the wets to confine their modification attempts to “orderly processes." suggesting that the only proper way to handle the question was by submitting the eighteenth amendment back to the states for repeal or change. This suggestion is in direct contradiction to Ludlow's vote a few months ago against the Beck-Lin-i thicum resubmission resolution. Looks to His Oath Excerpts from Ludlow's statement follow: “I could not vote for this bill without violating my oath of office—the oath I took when I solemnly swore I would support and defend the Constitution of the United States. “The pending bill, erroneously ; heralded as a measure to restore the manufacture and sale of realj beer in the United States, is misleading and a delusion. No matter from what standpoint it may be considered. “Those who expect real beer as a result of it, never will realize their expectation. If beer manufactured pursuant to It is intoxicating in any degree, the United States supreme court will hold the act unconstitutional, and if It is not intoxicating, the persons who expect real beer and pay the tax specified will not get what they pay for and will be entitled to feel that they are victims of a bunco game." “The purpose of this measure is to j break down and nullify the Consti- ; tution insofar as it applies to the I manufacture and sale of beer, I think this would be an exceedingly dangerous precedent." Crowe Gives Reason Representative Crowe gave the following reasons for voting to bring the beer bill out on the floor for debate: "Beer, with 2.75 per cent alcoholic j content is presumed not to be intoxicating, and congress has the right to determine what is and what is not intoxicating. “The estimated revenue of $500,000.000 is needed badly by the treas- j j ury, which has a tremendous deficit, j despite the great effort to secure ! more taxes, cut expenses and bal- ! ance the budget. “Manufacture of beer would provide jobs for several hundred thousand unemployed, and would consume millions of bushels of surplus grain now glutting the markets and cause the price of grain to rise. Would Raise Millions “This will not affect my district or state under its bone dry law," i Crowe said, “but it will pave the way for a referendum vote of the state, or a vote of the state legislature. “This bill probably would raise $500,000,000 a year, taxes which would be collected only from the states which already have laws per- ; initting the sale of 2.75 per cent beer. “It would help relieve the burden of taxation in states such as Indiana. Indiana would benefit by this tax, but the people of the state j would not contribute anything to it j until and unless they decide to repeal their own state law.” "I am opposed to any measure which would lay down the bars and j take away the strength of the prohibition law of the country, without offering a substitute. | “But in the face of the lack of I enforcement of the eighteenth 1 1 amendment, I believe the enact- 1 ment of this bill, legalizing this I beverage and permitting its man- , ufacture in a wholesome and legitimate manner, would go a long way toward solving our present condition. “In these times of stress, when every one is overburdened with taxation, it would help relieve a great load from the taxpayers, help create employment for thousands, cause a great demand for grain, and, therefore, be of general good to the country.” POLES TAX PASTIMES Funds Raised Are Used to Help Support Red Cross. i By United Press WASHINGTON. May 23.—Funds for the Polish Red Crogs are now being secured through an admission j tax on all public amusements and | pastimes, according to word from i Consul Stewart E. McMillin, Warsaw.

Bv Bcienee. Seri ire MEXICO CITY'. May 23.—Little hope that the recent treasure tomb discovery at Monte Alban will be followed by a series of similar revelations of Mexican gold and jewels I is held out by Mrs. Zelia Nuttall. American archoeologlst resident here. The Monte Alban treasure is a fortunate discovery which may never be repeated. Mrs. Nuttall declares. There is much historical evidence that, in the days of Spanish conquest in Mexico, the Spaniards forced and bribed Indians to open their ancestors' tombs. Systematic looting of Indian graves was the rule after the Spanish conquest. The Bpanish king granted concessions for the exploiting of native tombs in Mexico, and levied taxes on their yield. An idea of the quantities of gold salvaged from Indian tombs is given by the chronicler Bernal Diaz in one incident. He told of a hurricane at Vera Cruz in the year 1529, in which 100.000 pesos of funeral gold were sunk.

May 23.—The principle on which the Rev. Harold F. Davidson, rector of Stiffkey, operated in his “rescue work" among girls was that of "never giving any one money for nothing." the rector testified today in his trial on charges of immorality. Mr. Davidson said he often invented jobs for girls but kept his secret “that they would not think they were sponging on my generosity." He said he had spoken to at least 500 girls in the last decade and had helped 200 of them “by advice." Sometimes, he testified, he had girls type letters or do other clerical work to make tjiem feel they were earning his aid. but would tear up the letters after they had left. Denies Immoral Aims “I want to call 481 of them to get the evidence of two unknown women whom I want examined, so they may state the conversation I had with them,'' he said. “Have you ever spoken to any of these hundreds for immoral purposes?” he was asked. “Never,” he replied emphatically. The rector testified that Rose Ellis, one of the women with whom he is accused of being familiar, had 1 told him that detectives on behalf of ecclesiastical authorities gave her 40 shillings, and asked her to visit him and encourage him to spend more time with his wife. He told her, he said: “You are twenty up on Judas. He j got twenty pieces of silver; you got forty.” A commotion was caused at the trial shortly after the lunch interval when Roland Oliver, counsel for the bishop of Norwich, who is j conducting the prosecution, suggested during cross-examination of Daivdson that a certain “Mr. G." 1 was a .swindler and that Davidson had to some extent acted with him. Denies Family Starved Oliver sought to show that the rector showned barbara Harris, one of his girl friends, and others, with j gifts “while his wife and four children were starving at Stiffkey, and without coal." Davidson admitted he gave Miss Harris a skirt, blouse and watch, but said his family was provided with fuel and coal, even if he did owe bills for months in the village. Previously, Davidson had admitted his girl acquaintances might have numbered as high as 1,000. HAWLEY IS DEFEATED IN RACE FOR CONGRESS James TV. Mott Has Edge Over Veteran in Oregon. By Unitee!
