RUSSIA WANTS PEACE, BUT READY FOR WAR, WARNING IN SPEECH BY RED PREMIER Soviet Interests in Manchuria Must Be Guarded, Parliament Is Told; Geneva League Is Attacked for ‘Failures.’ My I'nifrtt I‘rrnn MOSCOW’, Jan. 24.—Stern warning that Soviet Russia stands for peace, hut is ready for war, if necessary, to defend its interests, was issued Monday night by Premier Viacheslav Molotoff in his address at the opening of parliament.

The premier scathingly attacked the League of Nations for its ‘'recent failures,” referring to Manchuria and the Chinese - Japanese crisis in which Russia still has high interest, particularly in view of her railroad holdings in north Manchuria. “Wo stand for the protection of our interests and a policy of neutrality and none-interfcrence in the affairs of Manchuria and other countries," Molotoff said. “'Wc consider the Japanese refusal to negotiate a non-aggression pact as temporary.” The premier, so-called as chairman of the Council of Peoples’ Commissars, spoke to the central executive committee of the Soviet Union, corresponding to the Soviet parliament, much in the same terms as Josef Stalin, Communist dictator, discussed foreign relations in his recent address. The Soviet government still owns a half-interest with the Manchurian authorities in the Chinese Eastern railway, with headquarters in Harbin, Manchuria. This area, in the northern part of Manchuria, long has been regarded as Russia's “sphere of influence" in that troubled section of Asia. Molotoff sarcastically flayed the policy of the United States against recognition, with the open hint that America’s excuses for non-recogni-tion were meaningless.

Negotiate for Time Ry 1 niird Press , PEIPING, Jan. 24.—Indefinite? postponement of the Japanese drive on Jehol province was believed likely today as result of reports from both sides favoring direct negotiations looking toward pacific settlement of the crisis. High Chinese officials were frank in admitting that as a result of the apparent failure at Geneva to settle the Manchurian problem the government was swinging toward direct negotiations with Tokio.

TENURE REPEAL BILL SURVIVES SENATE TILT CTOcs to Second Reading After Spirited Clash; Vote Is 35-11. Reported from committee "without recommendation,” the bill providing for repeal of the teacher tenure law survived a senate battle today and advanced to second reading. The voet was 35 to 11. Effort to indefinitely postpone the measure was checkmated in the grounds that it can be amended so that tenure can be made optional in cities having a population of 20.000 or more. This was suggested by Senator Walter S. Chambers (Dcm.. Newcastle), who argued in favor of advancing the bill. Chambers said he contemplated offering the amendment later, following consultation with supporters and opponents' of the repeal bill. Charges that Democrats were breaking faith with the Indiana State Teachers Association were made and denied in a brisk debate precipitated by a motion to kill the bill offered by Senator T. W. Druley (Dcm., Bastonh and supported by Senator Jacob Weiss iDem., Indianapolis). BANDIT KILLS OFFICER Patrolman Fatally Shot as He Interrupts Kansas City Holdup.

IRISH RIVALS WAR AT POLLS De Valera’s Fate in Hands of Free State: Bitter Battles Reported. BY GEORGE MACDONAGH United Press Stall Correspondent DUBLIN, Jan. 24. Violence marked the balloting in the Irish Free State's general election tGday. Members of Eamon De Valera's Fianna Fail clashed with followers of William T. Cosgrave at Dakley, a few miles outside of Dublin. Revolver shots were fired, but no casualties were reported. The lord mayor of Dublin, en route to a voting booth, was waylaid by a group of young hotheads in Gardiner street. He defended himself with his fists until civic guards arrived. The figting at Dakley was started by systematic tearing down of Cosgravcite posters by Fianna Fail supporters, who also painted over signs and slogans reading “Vote for Cosgrave." At 2 p. m. it was estimated more than one-fourth of the electorate had voted. An unexpectedly large number of aged persons voted. Riots and street fights featured the end of the campaign. Cosgrave had a narrow escape when Republicans broke up a meeting at Tralee. Most members of the cabinet and prominent politicians were reported to have carried revolvers. First results will be known Wednesday, but a decisive trend was not expected before Thursday. Many young persons qualified to vote for the first time are fired with nationalistic ideals and speak Gaelic better than their elders. They have always supported De Valera, whose romantic career appeals to their imagination and patriotic zeal. Both parties concentrated their campaign forces on farmers, Cosgrave claiming that De Valera ruined their markets by bringing on a tariff war with England, and De Valera emphasizing his pledge to retain the land annuities paid by Cosgrave to the British crown.

Rate of rise of rivers and streams in the inundated section of the state decreased appreciably Monday night, permitting opening of several main highways which had been closed, blocking traffic and making driving conditions hazardous. One death by drowning occurred at Gosport Monday. Special bulletin issued by the state highway commission said State Road 35 is submerged near Palmyra, but state trucks are pulling traffic through. State Road 46 still was closed between Bloomington and Nashville, as is the highway near Medora. Water is receding from Road 62 between Leavenworth and Corydon, according to the bulletin.

TECHNOCRACY IS REPUDIATED BY JLUMBIA Howard Scott Disavowed by University: Support Is Withdrawn. (Continued from Page One) will not even pose for a photograph. Records reveal that between 1918 and 1924 he was dismissed from three different jobs. Later he was for a time a manufacturer of floor wax. Persons who knew him best knew him only as one of the many loquacious habitues of the candle-lit gathering places of New Yorks Bohemia—Greenwich Village. Well-Known in Bohemian Life To this day his closest associates have no idea where he came from. For twelve years Howard Scott was a familiar figure in the village and talked to everybody who would listen, of the day when engineers would lead the nation to anew scientific social order. Greenwich Villagers thought of him either as a fanatic with an obsession or a genius with a vision. In his Greenwich Village days Scott built up legends about himself, and allowed them to carry over, unchecked, into the present year. Os the scores of villagers who knew Howard Scott most of them came to believe that: He was born in Virginia and educated abroad. His father was chief engineer in charge of construction of the Bagdad railroad. Howard went to various technical schools; had a Jesuit priest as a private tutor; graduated from a German university, and at an early age held a responsible position in the German dye industry. Later was in charge of a chemical plant in Russia; went to Canada just before the outbreak of the war, and there built two munitions plants, and served as a chemical engineer in the manufacture of explosives. Trouble at Muscle Shoals Available engineering books dealing with the Bagdad railroad mention numerous engineers, but do not mention anyone, by the name of Scott. As to the German university, Scott has admitted he has no degrees. As to the munition plants, Canadian authorities declare they never heard of him. The first authentic record of Scott in this country is contained in the report of a government investigation into the building of nitrate plant No. 2 at Muscle Shoals. A Republican majority repbrt to the house mentions Scott as one of many alleged incompetents. It says: "... This led to foremen being placed in charge of work of which they had no knowledge. To. illustrate, a man named Howard Scott was foreman in a part of the cement work On one occasion, against the protest of other experienced foremen, he grouted a large crusher with fire clay ...” Mistake of Ignorance Dr. Walter Landis, mow chief technician for the American Cyanamid Company, for which Scott worked at Muscle Shoals in 1918, rembers the incident. He explains that “grouting" is the imbedding of anchor bolts which in turn hold down the bed plates of large machines. Since fire clay looks like cement, he assumes that Scott’s error must have been due to ignorance. But had the mistake not been discovered, he decalres, the machines certainly would have jumped off their foundations. Founded Group Technocracy The incident attracted widespread attention and even was called sabotage by Muscle Shoals critics. But Scott apparently retained the confidence of the Cyanamid company, for he was given the job of re-designing a carbide plant. He was supplied with an office and some draughtsmen. But when officials looked in some weeks later and discovered, according to Dr. Landis, that nothing had been done, Scott was discharged. Shortly afterward Greenwich Village got its first glimpse of the tall man with a scarred lip and a sardonic grin. He set himself up as a consulting engineer, and in 1920 w-as employed by the T. W. W. to make several industrial surveys, supplying data which the Wobblies intended to use as propaganda. There is no evidence that Scott belonged to the

Policeman ‘Off Job,’So Judge Releases Autoist

Sheaffer Disputes Chief’s Order to Be ‘On Duty 24 Hours a Day.’ Because patrolman Nolan Hill was off duty and not in uniform Saturday night when he arrested William P. Sanders of the Methodist hospital, following a traffic accident at Sixteenth and Delaware streets, five charges against Sanders were dismissed Monday afternoon by Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer. According to Hill’s report to police headquarters, Sanders’ car struck the rear of an automobile driven by Miss Frances Beik, 3825 Winthrop avenue, a teacher at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music. Miss Beik told Hill she was traveling east on Sixteenth street and had stopped for a traffic signal when Sanders drove into her car from the rear, according to the police report. Hill, on his way home, clad in uniform trousers, puttees and a leather jacket, stopped at the scene and questioned Sanders, who is alleged to have disputed Hill's authority. . Charges of drunkenness, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, reckless driving, improper lights and resisting an officer were placed against Sanders. In court Monday, Sanders entered a plea of not guilty to the traffic charges. When questioned by Jacob Steinmetz, deputy prosecutor, regarding his plea on the charge of resisting an officer. Sanders replied: I. W. W., or was in sympathy with it. He founded the Technical Alliance, parent organization of technocracy, in 1920. Stuart Chase and Thorstein Veblen, economists, were members. The late Charles P. Steinmetz showed some interest in the movement, but never allied himself openly with it. Other members of the alliance say it languished and died because of Scott’s disinclination to work. In May, 1924, Sullivan Jones, then chief engineer of the New York state department of architecture, and an early member of the technical alliance, gave Scott a provisional appointment as director of operating and planning research. In July he took a civil service examination for the job and passed with a grade of 80 per cent. Couldn’t Concentrate Nine months later he was discharged because of inability to concentrate on the broader aspects of the work. During his service for the state he developed a formula for floor wax, and later began the manufacture of floor wax under the name of the Duron Chemical Products Company. Scott rented an abandoned power house in Pompton Lakes, N. J., and there operated a mixing plant with the air of two or three employes. Scott personally demonstrated the wax to several large concerns in New York and at one time sold several hundred gallons weekly. Kept Sage Role Between bursts of energy as a floor-wax entrepreneur, Scott kept up his role of scientific sage of Bohemia. The Chief Technocrat now lives in part of an old four-story house in the Chelsea district of Manhattan, and divides his time between conferences, lectures, the mid-town office of his organization, and the quarters loaned to it at Columbia university.

“I don’t know how to plead. I don't know if he is an officer." After Sheaffer learned that Hill had not been in full uniform, the dismissal followed. In talking to newspaper men later. Sheaffer declared that police officers can not make arrests unless they are in uniform and cited a state statute limiting powers of peace officers. When asked regarding the incident, Chief Mike Morrissey said policemen were instructed "to be on duty twenty-four hours a day.’’

FINLY H. GRAY FLAILSBANKERS Congressman-Elect Appears Before Legislature to Plead for Inflation. Charge that a “secret bankers' agreement to deflate currency" brought the United States to its present economic plight was made to a joint session of the legislature today by Congressman-Elect Fmly H. Gray of the Tenth district. The deflation was put across in collusion with the federal government through the federal reserve system and nothing state legislators can do will effect a cure, he told them. Answer to the problem lies with the national congress through federal aid and currency inflation, he contended. “State legislatures are without power to give relief from the tax burden," he declared. “While the evils and abuses of public waste and extravagance and increasing governmental costs and expenses are responsible for some part of this rising, crushing, multiplying tax burden, the greater part of the tax burden results from the fall of values, and the wage scales. From the failure of earnings and income. comes the destruction of the tax-paying pewer of the people.”
