The interviewer said the township school issued a $7800 bond issue to pay its debts and that local bankers would not purchase the bonds.

RADICALS ARRESTED AFTER CUBAN BLAST

By United Press

HAVANA, Sept. 21.—Cuban police rounded up scores, of anarchists and other radicals today in an attempt to discover the rrorists who exploded a truck of dynamite in front of the newspaper, El Pais, killing four persons, injuring 20 and damaging buildings within a radius of 10 blocks. The explosion occurred early Sunday. Later police found an automobile containing 1200 sticks of dynamite in front of the plant of the newspaper, Diario Dela Marina. Both papers were sympathetic with Spanish rebels and it was widely believed that the terror was connected with the Spanish civil war. Police, however, declined to confirm that theory. In a series of raids lasting all day and last night, police rounded up more than 100 anarchists and 12 members of the Spanish socialist circle in Havana. Further arrests are expected. The United Press was told that documents discovered during the raids convinced police the explosion was planned by anarchists.

Japan Sends Troops Into Chinese City

By United Press TOKYO, Sept. 21.—The navy department announced today that it had ordered Japanese marines to land at Hankow in China to protect life and property of Japanese nationals. “The navy fears,” said the announcement, “that it may be ‘ forced to resort to some defensive measures in the near future.” This action resulted from the alleged murder of a Japanese by a Chinese in Hankow, latest of a series of several such incidents, and the consequent embitterment of JapaneseChinese relations. Two Japanese destroyers were en route to Hankow, important industrial city in Hupeh province on the Yangtze River. The navy department said that the sincerity of the Nanking government in wanting to end anti-Japanese. feeling in China was not dependable and hence the protective measures were taken. The order recalled the world« shaking weeks in 1932 when Japanese ships anchored off. Shanghai and threw shells into the Chinese quarter of that city following an attack on Japanese there.
