China Threatened

SHANGHAI-The Picking govern
ment's latest order making the Chl-

life tenure was the subject OF com
ment in various circles here.
The fixing of the term nominally
at ten years would not have been
regarded as significant but for the
additional provision that it might
be indefinitely extended by a two
thirds vote of the senate.
Inasmuch as President Yuan Shl
Kai admittedly is in complete control
of the legislative branch of the gov

that he has no intention of relinQulsh-
ing his grip until death ends it, and
that he probably will do all in his

Maddocks Is Fined
In Municipal Court

Having been found guilty of as
sault on the person of Bion A. Dodge
the encounter taking place last
Wednesday morning on Front street
near the n. c. hardware store. Roy
Z. Maddocks was fined 500 in the
municipal court last Wednesday aft
ernoon. The complainant in the case
was Dodge who alleged that he had
been struck twice in the face by
Maddocks. and the court found that
the allegations We're substantiated
by the evidence.
Dodge testified that he was walk
ing toward the post office on TIE
met MaddockS. who crossed to his
side of the walk in order that he
might strike the blow. Maddocks'
testimony was directly contradc-
tory. Dodge's testimony however
was substantiated by that OF Claus
Johnson who stated that he saw at
least one blOW struck. All OF the
testimony was to the effect that
not a word was said until after the
encounter. when some strong Ian
euage was used. Testifying in his own
defense, Maddocks also said that
Dodge pulled billy on him, made
like a poke and filled with some
thing heavy like lead
II IS said that the encounter is
the result of several years of bad
blood between the men, who We're
formerly partners. One strange CO.
incidence Of Dodee's connection with
the affair. is the fact that he had
= fistlc encounter with Edward G.
Morrisey just one year previous to
a day.
