JAPAN’S CLAIM TO MANCHURIA GETS SETBACK Lytton Report to Geneva Is Strong Indictment of Nippon Troops Use. OUTLINE 10 CONDITIONS Military Force Withdrawal Urged; Big Test of ‘New Diplomacy.’ By Time* special WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—The “new diplomacy" of the post-war era today faced one of its greatest tests. Western powers, including the United States, awaited the reaction of Japan and China to a neutral plan for safeguarding peace in the iar east and maintaining China’s sovereignty. The plan lay in the report of the Lytton commission to the League of Nations. The plan called for concessions on both sides—Japanese withdrawal of troops from Manchuria, China’s recognition of Japan’s special rights and interests in the “three eastern provinces." Preliminary American reaction was that the report afforded a broad, comprehensive plan for settling the far eastern dispute. Observers wondered, however, whether * Japan would accept it. State Secretary Stlmson, handed copy of the document early Sunday, studied it closely. He discussed it with Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck, chief of the department’s far eastern division. The secretary was expected to offer some comment later today. Stimson, Hoover Confer Stimson spent most of today 'in Intensive study of the report. He conferred with President Hoover late in the morning, although he said the conference had nothing to do with foreign affairs. Serious obstacles were seen by observers here to putting the plan for an autonomous Manchurian state, free of Japanese troops, into execution. Japan has indicated that it is in Manchuria to stay. Further, it claims a treaty right to maintain about 16,000 troops in the South Manchurian railway zone. It was doubted whether Japan would surrender this right, even though a strong native gendarmerie were established to protect Japanese investments, estimated at about $1,000,000,000. Also, observers wondered whether Japan, having recognized the Manchurian government of Henry Pu-Yi, would turn its back on that regime and assent to the creation of anew state. Holds China Blameless Refusing point blank to recognize Japanese domination over Manchuria, and emphasizing China's right to suzerainty over that region, the Lytton commission's 150,000word document holds China blameless. Japan, the commission says, does have certain rights and interests there. The report contained a strong , Indictment of Japan's military campaign in Manchuria, and argued withdrawal of her armed forces (Turn to Page 21 WALKER RACING BACK: MAY RUN FOR MAYOR Exhausted by Train Dash From Spain to Paris; Dapper Style Lost.

HOOVER FIGHTING HEAVY ODDS, SET FOR TRIP TO lOWA

Political Tide Running 2 to 1 Against Him, G. 0. P. Paper’s Poll Shows. BY LEO R. SACK Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Facing a public reversal for the first time since 1914 when he challenged the world’s attention as chairman of the commission for Belgian relief, Herbert Hoover is leaving the White House for lowa today, in an effort to stem the political tide which his advisors inform him is running heavily against him. He will speak in Des Moines Tuesday evening, but unlike during a campaign trip to lowa four years ago, he is not traveling today as a conquering hero. The world was at his feet when he spoke at his birthplace in West Branch in August, 1928. * It was a gala day. Happy farmers and their wives, enthusiastic politicians and their followers had come from all of lowa and from adjoining states to see and hear the town boy, whom Republicans and liberals alike hailed as the world’s first citizen. Roosevelt Leads Poll Senator Smith W. Brookhart, then in the heydey of his political power, and courted by the regular Republican organization, introduced him as the "greatest friend the farmer ever had or ever would have.” In the subsequent campaign the enthusiastic Brookhart made 200 speeches before farm audiences. Mr. Hoover carried lowa by a majority of 253,882 over A1 Smith. But no such enthusiasm awaits Mr. Hoover in Des Moines Tuesday, j nor does he return to his native j state in such a happy humor. He is aware that a poll conducted by the very orthodox Republican Des Moines Register shows that ; Roosevelt is running nearly two to; one ahead of him- in lowa. Party Leaders Fearful He knows also that party lead-. ers are fearful that embittered I farmers may stage a hostile demonstration, and that to prevent any such untoward incident the national guard will be called out to assist the police. Republican leaders are counting on Mr. Hoover’s Des Moines speech as the turning point in their campaign. They are hopeful that he will be able to rehabiliate himself, and convince western farmers that he still is their "greatest friend.” Mr. Hoover’s future campaigning will depend upon the outcome of the Des Moines speech. Adverse to participating in what he regards as an “unseemly” campaign he realizes, nevertheless, that the Republican plight is desperate and that, unlike 1928, he has no Borah, no Hughes, no Brookhart, no Mabel Willebrandt, no Bishop Cannon and a score of other oratrical headliners to campaign for him. Other Speeches Urged He knows that the efforts af Sec- : retaries Ogden Mills, Patrick Hurley j and Arthur M. Hyde have not been j as successful as anticipated. He is aware, too. that, unlike 1928, the religious issue is not making hundreds of thousands of votes for him in doubtful states. His friends have told him that several speeches in the east and in the Ohio-Michigan-Illinois-Indiana sector are necessary to persuade the unemployed that a continuation of Republican administration is neces- I sary for business rehabilitation. CITY RULING SET ASIDE Man Is Freed on Charge of Disturbing Religious Meeting Here. Appeal from a lower court conviction on a charge of interfering with a religious meeting proved! successful today for Charles H., Krause Sr., of 674 East drive, Wood- j ruff Place. Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker discharged Krause when evidence j at his trial failed to show he had 1 disturbed the meeting. Krause was fined $45 in municipal j court three last week for interfer- i ing with a meeting at Market and Illinois streets. CITIZENS’ AID ASKEDi Public Can Help by Holding Drivers in Bus Wrecks, Says Mayr. Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr. today issued a plea for co-opera-tion from all citizens in the state to aid in apprehending automobile drivers involved in school bus crashes. • He pointed out that recently a man from Illinois was allowed to continue on his way after a school bus crash in which two children were killed at Remington. Thus could have been prevented by the crowd which gathered Mayr asserted and urged that all such persons be held for state or local police authorities.

1,000 DELEGATES OPEN NATIONAL PRISON CONVENTION HERE

Medical care, diet and discipline of prison inmates were discussed; by speakers today at the opening session of the five-day annual convention of the American Prison Association, which began at 9:30 in the Claypool with nearly a thousand delegates present. Dr. Amos T. Baker, director of the classification clinic. Sing Sing prison. New York, presided. The morning session was devoted to the problems of introducing offenders to institutional routine, with Miss Elizabeth Munger, superintendent of the state farm for women at Niantic. Conn., taking a prominent part as the only woman on the program.

“Careful, considerate treatment. from the first day of incarceration tends to engender in the prisoner a feeling of confidence and good will! which later effects favorably his at- i titude and conduct,” Miss Munger; asserted. Describing the routine adopted;

Politics Today Bj United Pres* President Hoover was ready to head west on his first campaign trip today as his Democratic rival returned to Albany, N ,Y„ from a long tour to the Pacific coast. Mr. Hoover will speak Tuesday night at Des Moines, la., center of the farm belt battleground. Republican leaders at Chicago urged former President Calvin Coolidge also to take the stump in the middle west. Governor Roosevelt, returning to Albany declared he was confident he had “brought home the bacon.” He planned to begin a tour of the south next Sunday or Monday. Roosevelt expected to join with former Governor Alfred E. Smith in urging the New York Democratic convention, meeting in Albany today, to nominate Lieutenant Governor Herbert Lehman for Governor. New York Republicans met at Buffalo. Nomination of Colonel William J. Donovan was assured when Trubee Davidson, assistant secretary of war, withdrew.

GOV. ROOSEVELT ARRIVES HOME ‘Guess I Brought the Bacon,’ He Tells Admirers. By United Press ALBANY, N. Y.. Oct. 3.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt came home today from a presidential campaign tour to line up with his old friend and rival, Alfred E. Smith, in a fight to force Tammany Hall to nominate Herbert H. Lehman for Governor. Roosevelt was confident he will be elected in November. “How did it go, Governor,” a spectator shouted as his train pulled into the Union station. “Well, I guess I brought home the bacon,” he said. Lehman, a Jew, is Roosevelt’s Lieutenant-Governor. He has supported, financially and otherwise, many campaigns in which Smith was the spearhead. Howeve*, he supported Roosevelt against Smith in Chicago, contrary to Tammany Hall orders. Mayor Joseph W. McKee of New York did the same. Tammany is opposing Lehman and urging the nomination of John Boyd Thacher of Albany as punishment for Lehman’s action at Chicago, despite the fact Smith also wants Lehman nominated. 7,000 RETURN TO JOBS Brighter Conditions Are Predicted by Dclco-Remy Officials.

CHURCHES MAY BE WIPED OUT, MEXICO WARNS Buildings'to Be Turned Into Schools and Factories, President Hints. INCENSED AT VATICAN Nation’s Chief Is Wrathful After Blast Delivered by Pope Pius. BY JOHN R. MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Oct. 3.—Conversion of Catholic churches in Mexico into “schools and factories for the welfare of the proletariat,” was threatened by President Abelardo Rodriguez today, if the “arrogant and defiant attitude” of the Vatican, which he accused of "falsehoods,” continues. A presidential statement attacking the encyclical issued by Pope Pius XI accusing the Mexican government of persecuting the church said that “falsehood against the country has been characteristic of the papacy.” “Cost Nation so Much’,’ “Replying to open incitement to the clergy to provoke agitation, I declare that at the least manifestation of disorder, the government will proceed with the utmost -energy to settle definitely this dispute which has cost the nation so much blood and socrifice,” the statement said. “I am respectful of the liberty of belief which the republic's constitution establishes, but I am unable to tolerate that those who do not even know how to honor their own religion should employ the nation’s gods for a campaign of hostility against the government. “I, therefore, am resolved that if the arrogant and defint attitude of the recent encyclical continues, churches will be converted into schools and factories for the welfare of the proletariat classes of the country.” Final Showdown Near The reference to the church employing the nation’s goods is explained by nationalization of all church buildings, which the church has occupied in recenty ears, subject to eviction wherever the government desires. The government was not surprised at the publication of the encyclical , the statement said, “since proceedings filled with falsehoods against the country have been characteristic of the papac.” The encyclical was expected to precipitate the final showdown in the church and state controversy which the government hoped to settle by the agreement of 1929 in which the late Dwight W. Morrow acted as unofficial mediator. leagueTaid lauds MANCHURIAN REPORT Move Will Add to Body’s Prestige, City Church Group Told. “The three outstanding problems facing civilization next winter are economic conditions, disarmament and the Far Eastern crisis, and a failure to solve any one of the three might be enough to destroy civilization,” asserted Clark M. Eichelberger, head of the midwest office of the League of Nations in Chicago, speaking at a union meeting of north side churches at the Broadway Evangelical church Sunday night. He predicted that the Lytton report will add immeasurably to the prestige of the league. Hourly Temperatures 6a. m 58 10 a. m 70 7a. m 60 llr. m 73 Ba. m! 64 12 (noon).. 75 9 a. m 67 1 p. m 77

the Insull utilities moved ahead rapidly with indications from State’s Attorney John A. Swanson that a county grand jury, at least, would be studying the many-sided picture shortly. Chief interest centered on the efforts of both investigations to obtain the voluntary 7 return to America of the Insulls—Samuel Sr. and Samuel Jr. from France, and the brother, Martin J. from Canada. Swanson has asked each to come to Chicago to aid in clarifying complicated dealings which preceded the billion dollar crash. Thus far no response has met his requests. Swanson, handicapped by lack of funds to carry on an extensive inquiry. expressed determination to start extradition proceedings against the Insull brothers if necessary.

“Experience has taught us the! inadvisability of confining newly j admitted prisoners in close proximity to old offenders,” she declared, pointing out that establishment of the routine has resulted i in disciplinary problems being reduced. Dr. J. L. McCartney, head of the classificiation clinic, New York State reformatory at Elmira, N.

‘MINE CHILDREN' GO ON STRIKE i Refuse to Go to School in Coal-Buying Protest. By United Press KINCAID, 111., Oct. 3.—Kincaid high school pupils went on strike today in sympathy with their fathers, most of whom have walked out in protest against reduced mine wages. More than 150 of the school's 180 pupils remained away from the classes, saying they were striking in protest against use in the high school of coal bought from mines paying a lower wage scale than demanded by the miners. Principal T. S. McLamarrah declared that classes will be held as usual, although he admitted attendance will be scant. There was no attempt at picketing by pupils. They simply remained in their homes with the announced approval of their parents. Kincaid, small mining community with a population of less than 2,000, mostly miners, is in Christian county, where virtual military rule has been in force since Sept. 18. One of four large Christian county mines has been reopened at Langleyville under protection of troops and coal dug from the Langleyville mine has been used at the high school for heating, against which the students are protesting. SEARCH CANYONS FOR BODIES OF STORM DEAD More Than Score Feared Killed in California Cloudburst. | By United Press TEHACHAPI. Cal., Oct. 3.—Bodies of more than a score of persons believed certain victims of a cloudburst which turned the deep, rocky canyons of the Tehachapi divide into raging torrents, were sought under clearing skies today. A renewal of the storm, fearsome in intensity, but failing to repeat the damage of Friday’s rain when four and one-half inches fell in an hour, hindered work Sunday. Cruelly mangled, the bodies of seven dead rested today in Bakersfield mortuaries. Four others were known to be dead, and ten were listed definitely as missing. Material damage was estimated at nearly two million dollars. RAIN IS OITWAY~HERE Temperature Drop Also Is Forecast by U. S. Weather Bureau.

MISTRIAL IS DECLARED IN CASE OF SENATOR DAVIS IN COURT ON LOTTERY CHARGE Federal Judge Takes Step After Defense Counsel Gives Information About Two Men in Jury Box. HALT PROCEEDINGS DRAMATICALLY Move May Be Made to*Adjourn Further Hearing Until After Election; Praise Defendant’s Action. BY SANDOR S. KLEIN United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—The trial of Senator James J. Davis of Pennsylvania, accused of violating - the federal lottery laws, ended today in a mistrial. The mistrial was declared after Charles J. Margiotti, chief of defense counsel, had given Federal Judge Frank J. Coleman information concerning one juror and an alternate juror. The juror, Henry J. Moore, a fraternal brother of Margiotti, told the defense counsel that the alternate, Abe H. Wenitraub, had made remarks to the juriy in recess which were prejudicial to the defense.

Weintraub vigorously denied the charge, and other jury members denied hearing such remarks. Judge Coleman said the preponderance of testimony exonerated Weintraub. “As to Juror 7, Mr. Moore, I find

BONHAM GIVEN NEW REPRIEVE Doomed Killer Again Will Appeal for Mercy. By United Press SPRINGFIELD. 111., Oct. 3 Howard C. Bonham. Evansville, Ind., under sentence at Chicago to die in the electric chair for the murder of Paul Tulipan, restaurant man, was granted a reprieve to Nov. 4 by Governor L. L. Emmerson here today. The reprieve, it is understood, is to enable Bonham, who was a marine orderly to the late President Warren G. Harding aboard the Mayflower, to have a second hearing before the state board of pardons and paroles on a communtation plea. The board refused a commutation after a hearing earlier in the year. Bonham, also known as a “model” chauffeur to Major-General John A. Le Jeune, former commander of the United States marine corps, was convicted of the murder charge last October. He appealed to the state supreme court, which upheld the conviction. Recently Bonham sought to evade the death penalty by filing a petition with a Cook county court declaring he is insane. At a sanity hearing, however, he was adjudged sane. HOOVERVILLE PLANS TO BUILD ‘SHANTY’ CHURCH Spirit of Religion Filters Into Settlement of Evicted Families. The spirit of religion has filtered into "Hooverville,” shanty settlement of evicted families on White river, south ot Washington street. With announcement today by the Rev.

Additional building material of any kind is solicited, Dininger said.

and the world’s greatest coffee port, Santos, was blockaded, causing an enormous increase in world coffee prices. The federal drive against the rebels during the last week crushed the opposition on all fronts. Peace overtures were held two days ago. The government was in a sufficiently strong position to demand complete surrender. Unconfirmed reports from Sao Paulo said General Klinger, who surrendered with his staff, is under arrest. Provisional President Getulio Vargas had promised amnesty early in the fighting to all rebels, who would lay down their arms. The attitude of the government is not expected to be severe. Vargas came into power when a revolution ousted President Washington Luis and prevented Presi-dent-elect Julio Prestes from taking office. Vargas promised to call elections, but delayed action. Both armies were well equipped with modern fighting machinery Both sides used airplanes extensively. The revolt cost the country millions in loss of business and commerce. y

his conduct improper,” the judge said. “I find the motive not evil or mercenary. It was a ivolation of my instructions to the jurors. It was a violation of a principle that any 10-year-old boy could understand.” Court then adjourned, the judge withholding a decision on action | against Moore until 10:30 a. m. Tuesday, to ‘‘give - ou time to coni suit with counsel.” May Seek Adjournment Moore was plaeed in his own cusJ tody until Tuesday. The trial was halted dramatically at the opening of the third week of the hearing in which the political future of Puddler Jim Davis, dominant figure in the Loyal Order of Moose and candidate for re-election to the senate, was at stake. Davis was given a separate hearing on the lottery charges to speed up his case, and permit a decision before the election. It was learned the defense plans to seek an adjournament of the trial until after the election, which would mean Davis would go before his constituents without a decision on the lottery charges. If the adjournament is not granted, the case probably will be on the calendar before next Monday. Judge Coleman excused all jurors j except Moore and Weintraub, and j called Margiotti to the witness I stand to tell his story. The judge praised Margiotti and Senator Davis, who participated with his counsel in the action which resulted in the mistrial. Story Told by Attorney Margiotti told how he received a telephone call from a “person who wanted to come to my hotel room” last Friday night. “I asked him who he was,” the attorney said. He told me he was a brother knight. He didn’t tell me he was a juror The man was juror No. 7.” “He ( juror No. 7i told me he was i not there to talk about the case,” t Margiotti continued. “‘I must tell you Juror No. 13,’ he said. ‘Juror 13 is putting in the poison against your side at every opportunity. In the corridors during recesses he tells other jurors that witnesses on your side are lying. “ ‘When the Catholic priest went on the stand he said he was no better than the others. I think you ought to have someone watching him.’ ” SPANKS 20-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER: CENSURED “Do It Again and I’ll Send You to Jail,” Stepfather Warned.

Magadelen Padgett, 20. of 1808 North Illinois streeet, the stepdaughter, testified her stepfather, who weighs 215 pounds, had whipped her. “I only turned her across my knee and gave her a spanking,” the defendant asserted. “Do that again and I’ll send you to jail,” the judge threatened.

Oct. 3.—Threatened by epidemics and maddened dogs, inhabitants of the Chalcidici peninsula who survived the recent earthquake lived in fear today that the entire peninsula would sink into the sea. Earthquake shocks continued, and caused extensive damage to the historic monasteries of the slopes of the holy mountain, Mt. Athc. Dogs, driven mad by thirst, attacked many distressed survivors.
