also claims Bowling confessed he had
been hired by the defense 10 obtain
manufactured testimony to make it
appear that Prosecutor Heney, Rudolph

CHINA IS ALARMED
At JAPAN'S STAND

PEKIN, April 2-Government officials
here are clearly becoming alarmed over
Japan's attitude in Manchuria and her
refusal TO submit to The Hague tribu-
nal both the Manchurian and Fakumen
Railway differences.
The statement I'm the Yokohama Ko-
kumin, the official organ of the Japa-
nes1 government, that unless China.
vvithdraws her demand for arbitration,
japan will continue her present activi-
ties in Manchuria, is taken to mean
that Japan has little thought OF recog-
nizins China's authority in Manchuria
1t is feared that no matter what repre-
sentations are brought TO bear upon
Japan, she Will hold out against the
proposed arbitration.
The Japanese demand for proof of
China'S sovereignty over the Pratus
Islands, where hundreds of Japanese
are colonizing. is another feature of
the strained relations that China con-

ship masters toward common seamen

the suit OF the Seamen's Union against
Captain Gum, of the British ship

alleged, were never paid TO several
Chinese sailors who were landed in
New York last July.
The suit grows out of the revela-

Gum made at the inquest in New York
over two Chinese sailors OF the Stray
tiere. who were drowned in attempting

10 swim from the ship TO the shore to
escape mistreatment.
The suit is said 70 be the forerunner
of criminal action against Captain
Gum, and the inquiry that is expected
to result will. it is believed, develop
an international scandal. The Sea-
mems Union alleges that the masters
of such ships as the Straytiere engage
Coolie seamen and men terribly mis-
treat them, besides cheating them out
of their wages.
The laws governing the merchant
marine service, the union declares, not

 Every effort was made, particularly on the part of the attending physicians to suppress publicity of the occurrence in spite of the fact that it was evident that the arrest of Mrs. Beck would take place as soon as she was in condi' ton to be removed to the county jail It was not until several hours after the occurrence that more than meager de tails could be learned.
