EKINS t’nitrd Pres* Stilt Correspondent PEIPING. Jan. 11. Japanese troops, tanks, armored trains, airplanes. artillery and cavalry were prepared today for an invasion of Jehol province, with the capital, Cheng-Te-Fu, as their goal. While unusually cold weather retarded fighting between Japanese . and Chinese at the strategic pass; through the Great Wall at Chio- | menkou, the chips of the telegraph | administration at Cheng-Te-Fu advised Chinese officials here that i 10,000 .Japanese were massing for a drive on the capital. The Japanese were consolidating their positions along the great wall, trying to close the pass at Chiomenkuo. Thus, anew front was created with the Great Wall, scene of invasions and repulsions for centuries, running between the JapaChinese positions. Encircling Jehol Province The Chinese dug in between Chiotnenkuo and Shihmenchai, despite the Japanese statement that they did not intend to operate inside the Great Wall. Meanwhile, the encircling movement of Jehol province continued on the eastern and southern frontiers, with the Japanese troops along the great wall expected to hold their positions and prevent Chinese from attacking the forces moving on Jehol. Soong Hung-Chun, chief of the Jehol telegraph administration* reported Japanese military activity on all highways leading to Cheng-Te-Fu. He reported that Japanese troops, fully equipped, were assembled at Kailu, Chaoyang, Suichung and at other points between Shanhaikwan and the Jehol capital. Fighting Easts All Day Chiomenkou, a strategic gate in the Great Wall, was the scene Tuesday of the latest Japanese offensive in the Manchurian struggle. Fighting lasted all day, with Chinese regulars opposing the Japanese attack. The area round Shanhaikwan remained quiet except for the troop movements. The fighting occurred to the northwest of the city. The Chinese protest against the Japanese occupation of Shanhaikwan was received today by the American legation and other diplomatic headquarters. The Chinese claimed that the invasion was unfair under existing treaties, and said the Nanking government could not be responsible for the results of Chinese defensive measures in the fact of invasion. Mount Guns Atop Church The American legation was informed by the Japanese embassy that the Tokio government would make an immediate investigation of the status of the Methodist mission, church, school, and parsonage at Shanhaikwan. Methodist missionaries here said that the pastor at Shanhaikwan reported that the Japanese mounted machine guns on the roof of the church, and used classrooms for stables.

Slur at His Wife Draws Gov. Pinchot Into Hot Row With Legislator

Appears on Senate Floor to Demand Member Be Disciplined. By l nifffl Prt'B* HARRISBURG. Pa.. Jan. 11.— Governor Gifford Pmchot unexpectedly appeared on the floor of the senate today and demanded that body discipline Senator George L. Reed, of Dauphin county, for the reference that Reed made to Mrs. Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, wife of the governor, in an attack on the administration Monday night. “I cannot properly horsewhip a senator, however much I may desire to, and however much the senator may desire it,” the governor declared. Members of the senate were startled by the sudden, unneralded appearance of the chief executive. They sat quietly while the Governor, white-faced and with tightly drawn lips, denounced ’“this cowardly system of striking at me through a woman.” The Governor charged a ‘dastardly attack” instigated by “men high in the Republican organization.” No one could recall a similar occasion in the past when a chief executive of the commonwealth had appeared before the senate to demand disciplinary measures. No action was taken by the senate. ’ Senator Reed, in his attack on the administration from the floor of the senate, referred to an automobile accident in which Mrs. Pinchot is alleged to have figured in Newark, N. J., in 1931. The senator said there had been gossip about Mrs. Pinchot's sobriety.

Hunt Two Hired Killers’ of Handsome Bandmaster Weird Drama of Deceit and Death Is Unfolded Day by Day in Chicago Police Investigation. By United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 11.—A weird drama of deceit and death unfolds day by day in Chicago as the Schildhauer murder case advances through successive high points of suspense. No stranger cast of characters ever were assembled for a mystery thriller than those who played parts in the everyday life of Bandmaster Edwin O. Schildhauer and his comely wife.

Now, thirty-two days after his bullet-riddled body was found in a desolate area in Cicero, where killers flung it from an automobile, the mystery deepens and the atmosphere of the case grows increasingly bizarre. It is a slaying unique because out of a multiplicity of minor motives, none powerful enough to explain why anyone should take Schildhauer’s life has been aisclosed. The death revolver has never been found. Arrests Expected Soon Today Captain John Stege, whose dogged inquiry has disclosed rnost of the wierd aspects of the case, announced he had received information indicating the bandmaster was slain by two hired killers. “We hope to arrest fhem shortly,” he said. Mrs. Frances Schildhauer, pretty widow of the slain bandmaster, is being submitted to questioning that will determine whether a man act charge is filed against her. She appeared, with her attorney, her mother and a friend, at the office of Melvin Purvis, chief of the federal bureau of investigation, to tell about a trip to Memphis with Carl Bradberry, former deputy sheriff with whom she has admitted having intimate association. The hitman equation of the murder probe resolves into a puzzle of morals and manners. The people concerned seem like characters who stepped off some stage just before the climax of a play. They are: CAPTAIN SCHILDHAUER. a strapping six-footer, handsome, with a shock of wavy hair. At 28, he was leader of the band in the big Austin high school, a popular figure in school and neighborhood circles. He was a favorite with the high school girls, and his wife charged, with the wives of his friends.. Suspicious Blind Father MRS.

My dreams was one of advancement in my profession and a home with a devoted wife and happy children. Wanted Her Lite Apart “But Marjorie was not a home girl. She wanted a life apart from mine. Perhaps she was a better teacher than I. She wouldn't aid in making my home comfortable. "So we gradually drifted apart. It was intolerable. For a while I thought I would kill myself. But to get out of the picture that way would have meant she would have a second husband. At least I thought she would. "We had loved each other, and I couldn’t stand to think of her marrying again. Why? Because there can be only one love; the second would be only a business proposition. Unwashed Dishes In Sink “Every night, I would return home to find the house dirty, and a sink full of unwashed dishes. I swallowed by resentment, but I brooded. There was no quarrel pending the shooting, I simply decided that the only way out was to kill her. “I drove her out into the country in our automobile. I went out there to kill her. “I stopped the automobile, and before she knew what I was doing, I drew the gun and shot her twice. She slumped over in the seat, looked at me for the last time and said Oh. papa ’ ” States Attorney Carson Perdunn concluded presentation of the state's evidence with the oral confession.

Details of the beer control bill, designed to yield approximately $7,000,000 in revenue, prepare Indiana for federal action against the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act, and provide a bar to the return to the open saloon. Approximately twenty representatives will sponsor its introduction in the house. Monopoly Is Attacked While the senate today received a concurrent resolution memoralizing congress to modify the Volstead act, opposition developed to the proposed beer bill. This is based largely on the bill’s provisions granting monopolies on manufacture and sale of beer, rather than to return of the beverage. It was summed up tersely by Senator Chester A. Perkins (Dem., South Bend), who has been a wet advocate throughout a long legislative career. “We do not want to repeal one prohibitory law and merely substitute another,” Perkins said. “That is what this beer bill does. It looks to me like just another racket.” The modification resolution, addressed to congress, was presented by Senator Fred A. Egan (Dem., Gary). It points out that there is a public demand for a change in the law and that modification was pledged in both major party platforms. Cites Aid to Industry “Return of well-regulated liquor traffic will impart the much needed impetus to the paralyzed industrial’ life of the natim, afford employment for hundreds of deserving workmen, and supply the impulse essential to terminate the intolerable industrial depression,” it states. It would act to suppress bootlegging and organized crime and put the “ill-gotten gains of gangsters” into the treasury, the resolution declared. Senator Jacob Weiss (Dem., Indianapolis), a leader of the wets, declared he would offer an amendment to the resolution advocating 3.2 per cent beer by volume and outright repeal of the Volstead act. Provides for Control Prepared by Weiss and a number of administration leaders, the proposed beer control measure calls for appointment of a state beer controller, provides for a limit of fifteen breweries and limits jobbers to one to each county. It also limits dealers to one to each 20,000 population, prohibits home brew and draft beer, and limits public consumption to one quart to a person served at bona fide eating places. Sole right to import beers from outside the state would be reserved for manufacturers, thus forestalling renewal of the brewery fights of preprohibition days. The bill provides for a levy of 10 cents a gallon, to be paid by the brewer. Licenses are fixed at $5,000 a year for manufacturers; $2,500 for wholesalers; SSOO for retailers; S3OO for hotels for each accommodation of fifty persons or fraction thereof, and SIOO a year for dining cars and boats. No Limit in Home No limitation would be placed on persons ordering beer for consumption in the home. Habitual drunkards and minors would be prohibited from purchasing beer. Public drunkenness penalty is fixed at a fine of SIOO, plus six months’ imprisonment, and penalties for violation of other provisions of the act range from $lO to SI,OOO. Penalties for home brewing range from $lO to SI,OOO. Strict requirements are provided for restaurant and hotel sale. Restaurants must be equipped to serve fifty full meals at any time and hoteis must have accommodations for fifty persons—twenty-five rooms and equipment for twentyfive meals at any time. Clubs must have been in existence at least three years prior to application to dispense beer and names of members must be registered. Repeal of the Wnght bone dry law, Indiana’s own enforcement statute, will take all liquor violations out of state courts and place them in the district federal court, unless new state legislation is enacted. At present, aside from some city ordinances covering liquor, the Wright law is the only statute under which liquor offenders can be prosecuted.
