 "Shantung has sent tens of thous- ands of it's citizens to Europe, to help win the war;" said the statement. "Many lives were sacrificed. Now the reward for this service is to turn Shantung's economic and political rights over to Japan.
 "The Shantung settlement has rais- ed new issue in the far East. Japan is satisfied with the clause and will attempt to carry it out but the Chi nese people will never acquiesce,"

I0WAN CONVICTED
 OF BEATING HIS
 MOTHER TO DEATH
Body is Thrown into Elevator Shaft After Woman Slain
 With Iron Bar.

Mont Ayr, Iowa, July 19.-The jury in the case of Roy Emerson of Crescent, Iowa, charged with beating his mother to death with an iron brace and throwing her body down an elevator shaft, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second de- gree. The case went to the jury at 6 a. n1.. yesterday
 Mrs. Kate Emerson, mother of the defendant, was found dead at the bot ton of an elevator shaft in the Emer son undertaking establishment in Creston May 6. The body was badly mangled and mutilated. Both legs were broken, her lips were cut, one eye was discolored and her arm bore marks on the front and one on the back as if she had been tightly grip ped by someone.
 At first it was generally considered that Mrs. Emerson has committed sui eide. Discovery of blood spots near the shaft, and iron brace with red stains on it and other evidence, led however, to the arrest of her son, Roy Emerson on a charge of murder.
 Sentence will not be imposed upon Emerson for several days it is under stood. The maximum penalty for second degree murder in Iowa is life imprisonment.

These he obtained In Germany by
means Of circulars which he sent to

had brought them down the Ohio

vineyards languished and became uu
productive. The money loss was
heavy.
And the Germans. finding their oc-
