ing the truth,” found him guilty, but withheld judgment. Two charges of reckless driving which grew out of an accident that injured a man critically yesterday were continued until Oct. 15. Defendants were Bishop Gregory, 26, of 1123 Sharon Ave. held under $200 bond on a charge of reckless driving, and Miss Bernice Jackson, 16, of 1046 Alton Ave., held under $300 bond on charges of reckless driving and failure to have a driver's license. Blinded by Dust, Claim

Miss Jackson's auto is alleged to have struck Bonnie Morphis, 31, of R. R. 12, Box 529, as he was driv=ing a team of horses down the Franklin Road a mile south of State Road 67. Witnesses told deputy sheriffs that Miss Jackson’s car was racing with Gregory's. She said she was blinded by the dust. Mr. Morphis is in City Hospital with a fractured left ankle and head injuries. One of Mr. Morphis’ horses was killed and the other injured in the crash. George W. Freyn, 76, of West Newton, was in fair condition in City Hospital following an accident in which the car he was driving south on Miley Ave. crashed into a Big Four passenger train. Mr. Freyn suffered head and left leg injuries, physicians reported. A police patrol wagon was damaged last night when struck by a freight interurban at Capitol Ave. and Washington St. No one was

-injured.

Woman Hit by Train

Miss Melva Schott, 20, of R. R. 4, Box 393 Sunshine Gardens , was knocked down by a Belt Railroad freight train at the Madison Ave. crossing while on her way to work today but was injured only slightly. Miss Schott said she knew the train was approaching, but thought “it would clear her.” She was knocked into the weeds beside the tracks. She was given first aid by police and went on to work. Mrs. Emma Armstrong, 26, of 800 Bates St., was injured slightly when the car in which she was riding with her husband was in a collision with one driven by Ben VanHorn, 36, of 2142 S. New Jersey St. The accident occurred one-half mile north of the Southport Road on State Road 37. She was treated at City Hospital and sent home.

State Police Arrests Bring $1154 Fines

Times Special LAFAYETTE, Sept. 24.—Traffic violators occupied much of State Police officers’ time at the West Lafayette Barracks last month. According to-a report made public today by Sergt. Charles ®W. Biltz, officers arrested 310 persons who were fined $1154. Court costs totaled $1036.85.

, Eleven arrests were for felonies

ists were arrested for violating traf- |

fic laws, 47 for speeding, 48 for reckless driving and “running” stop signs, and 83 for having improper lights on their cars. The policemen patrolled 42,057 miles of highways in the 10 counties of the district during the month.

Indiana Begins Drive On Fraudulent Licenses

Drunken drivers and financially irresponsible motorists who get their licenses fraudulently today were the object of a state-wide campaign. Benjamin Friedman, financial division director, State Treasury Department, announced that a checkup is being made of drivers’ licenses. It has been discovered, he said, that many persons on the State's suspended list have gone to com=munities where they were not known and obtained licenses. Mr. Friedman said many of the suspended drivers were guilty of perjury since the license applications were signed under oath. Violators are to be prosecuted for perjury in the counties where they got the licenses, he said. Penalty for perjury is a prison sentence of one to 10 years, Mr. Friedman pointed out.

Many Drunken Drivers

There now are approximately 5500 drivers on the State's suspended list, and each one is being checked, he said. “A large percentage of the persons we are after have been convicted of drunken driving,” Mr. Friedman said. “The department feels they are not fit persons to operate automobiles and they should not be permitted on highways until they are entitled to licenses.” The other type of drivers who have fraudulently obtained licenses are those who have violated the laws on financial responsibility. Mr. Friedman explained that these motorists have not paid court judgments assessed against them as a result of accidents.

U.S. Navy Protection Ordered ~~ For All Americans in China

(Continued from Page One)

naval forces will at times be exposed to danger but said: “These risks must be accepted.” * “Most American citizens now in China are engaged in businesses or professions which are their only means of livelihood,” the Navy announcement said. “These persons are unwilling to leave until their businesses have been destroyed or they are forced to leave due to actual physical danger.

Risks to Be Accepted

“Until such time comes, our naval forces cannot be withdrawn without

failure in our duty, @nd without bringing great discredit on the United States Navy. “In giving assistance and protection our naval forces may at times be exposed to danger which will in most cases be slight, but in any case these risks must be accepted.” Pending Japan’s reply to the State Department's vigorous” note of protest over Japanese bombings, officials were reluctant to commit this Government to any specific course of action. Secretary of State Hull said this Government had not been approached by either France or Great Britain on the question of a conference of world powers to discuss the war in China. There appeared no doubt, how-

ever, that the question had been

discussed in diplomatic circles here,

‘with particular attention to possi-

ble invocation of the Nine-Power Treaty of 1922. Opposition to invocation of the

treaty appeared to center around two arguments: 1. That such action might appear to commit the United States to act in concert with other nations in China, contrary to the State Department’s determination that this country should pursue an independent course. 2. That invocation of the treaty could not stop the hostilities. The treaty was signed by the United States, Belgium, Great Britain, China, France, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands and Portugal. It calls for “full and frank communications” among the signatories “whenever any situation arises which, in the opinion of any one of them, involves the application of the stipulations of the treaty.”

Chiang Asks U. S.. To Act in War ’

NANKING, Sept. 24 (U. P.).—Intervention by the United States in the Japanese-Chinese war was urged today by Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, head of the Nanking Central

Government, and Dr. Wang Chunghui, his foreign minister. In separate interviews, they urged a revision of the present United States policy to save China and save the entire world from ‘political anarchy. Both statesmen directed atention to the obligations of the United States under the Nine-Power treaty, which binds Washington to insure the territorial and political integrity of China.

DENHARDT CASE

DETAILS TODAY

Story Reasonable, Plausible, “And True, Their Lawyer Says.

BULLETIN SHELBYVILLE, Ky. Sepf. 24 (U. P.) —Atty. Gen. Hubert Meredith said “the whole legal system of Kentucky is on trial,” as he took personal charge today of the prosecution of three brothers accused of killing Brig. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt. Attorney General Meredith said he believed the outcome of the case against the Garrs would answer the question of whether Kentuckians “can take the law in their own hands.”

SHELBYVILLE, Ky., Sept. 24 (U. P.).—The Garr brothers will tell today why they assassinated Brig. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt, accused

torney, J. Ballard Clark, announced. “They'll tell a story that anybody “Tt will be reasonable, plausible and true.” The Garrs, Dr. E. S., Roy and Jack, have been in jail since Monday night, when they assassinated the former Lieutenant Governor on the street at Shelbyville, 11 hours before he was to go on trial a second time on a charge of murdering Verna Garr Taylor, his financee. They will testify, Mr. Clark said, at their examining trial today. The trial is expected to include rehearing of the Garrs’ petition for release on bond. The Garrs hoped to obtain release under bond of $25,000—same amount under which Gen. Denhardt was freed when the jury at his first trial failed to agree on a verdict.

Hints Self-Defense Plea

Mr. Clark, who indicated the brothers will plead - self-defense, denied the Garrs came to Shelbyville with intent to kill Gen. Denhardt. Gen. Denhardt had come to Shelbyville to confer with his attorneys. He went out at 10 p. m. with Attorney Rodes K. Myers. As they were returning to the hotel, Mr. Myers and Gen. Denhardt encountered the Garrs. Mr. Myers said Gen. Denhardt ran for his hotel and was shot as he struggled to open its door. Gen. Denhardt was buried with full military honors at Bowling Green yesterday.
