FIVE THOUSAND FRENCH VOTERS
 SUPPORT LANDRU

PARIS, -(P)-Nearly 5000 voters in and near Paris cast their ballots in the recent election for Henri Landru, for member of the chamber of deputies. Landru has long been held by the police and accused Of being responsible for the disappear, ance of 13 women to whom nc Is alleged to have promised marriage.
 His witticisms have made him very popular with the Parislan public and this accounts for the fact that 5000 persons erased the names of candi- dates registered at the ministry of the interior and wrote LandTus narne on the ballot.
 Landru was called before Judge Bonin on election day for eXamina- tion as to the whereabouts of the Widow Collomb who was registered on the ballot list as his flancee num- Der '.

IN HAWAII; CRIME
 IS DECREASING

WASHINGTON (P) Continued prosperity in Hawaii was noted in the annual report recently of Gov ernor c. J, Mccarthy. Exports of all kinds, including sugar and other foodstuffs, were valued at $83,343,- GAS, while imports were $10,922,921, a decrease of $955,4O7 compared with the year before.
 Enforcement of the prohibition act has resulted in a marked decrease in crime Governor Mccarthy said, but there is a large quantity of illicit liquor manufactured, and the federal authorities are endeavorlng to stamp out this traffic" Utilization of stills made of galvanized iron has poisoned the liquor in some cases, the report stated. Jail sentences instead of money fines were suggested as a check on the traffic
 Seventy corporations, includ- ing mercantile, agriculture, banking and savings and loans concerns were incorporated during the year. Twen- ty-six banks are in operation in the islands. Their total deposits are $35,- 349, ,134.
 Additional appropriations to i'm prove the harbors are needed, the report said, so as to provide adequate facilities for the increasing number of trans-Pacific liners stopping at the islands. Concrete piers, varying from 600 to $50 feet long are un- der construction by the United States engineer service and the necessary shops for making repairs to vessels also have been provided.

 The army flyers in six De Hayiland and four bombing machines with twelve De Haviland and four bombers in reserve. are to continue all winter cross country work. general map mak- ing. course charting and reporting .fhips in distress at sea The latter feature will be accomplished by means of wireless equipment installed in the patrol planes The radio also will be used in case the flyers need to summon assistance
 Colonel Miller said the flyers Were giving an excellent demonstration of how an army airplane and pilot may be utilized to advantage in time of peace An observer accompanies each De Haviland plane Each machine. he said, has an increased gas carry ing capacity. The first aero squadron was organized and trained at Kelly field, Texas, shortly after the out break of the war and was later sent overseas where it saw much active service Army flyers have long been doing Mexican border patrol work but fl Is the first time, the colonel said that they have been employed in similar active service elsewhere.
 Extension of the service to include mapping of aerial routes on the At lantiC seabOard and later the middle Atlantic states, Is said to be iu con templation. At present while one third of the first aero squadron per sonnel is out on patrol work the other two-third9 are resting All flights are nonstop between the home field and the destination, thus putting the pilots under system as rigorous in point of training as they experienced during the war. Aviation experts have att,i- buted the efficiency of American pilots In France to the fact that they were compelled to fly at regular intervals and, consequently, did not have time to forget their training.

JAP GOVERNOR
 USES METHODS
 OF OLDEN DAYS

K0TO, Japan,-(P)-Charges of torture of accused persons who figure in a pending bribery scandal which involves, among others, Jushiro Kiuchi, the former governor of Kioto prefecture have evoked much criti- cism turnout the country. The case centres around the charge that MT. Kiuchi bribed members of the pre- fectural council In order to carry out certain administration projects.
 Altho the court report says kiuchi admitted bribery, he later denied this.
 Kiuchi testified that the public prosecutor could not listen to truth ful statement of the facts of the case, and extorted false testimony from him under threats Other accused persons, who were formerly high of flcials of the KiotO perfectual govern ment, have deposed to the same effect.
 Another defendant declared that he  was examined by a public proCurator day and night for nine months and that he was placed many times in a pig box because he refused to make the statements the procurator de manded. The pig box" is a small disciplinary contrivance which is just large enough to contain a human person, sitting down. The accused said: q became very ill, but was examined regardless of my condition. This was nothing more than torture. Finally, as they threatened to keep me in the "box" until l confessed I said I had accepted a bribe, which Is not true"
 An investigation has been started.

DESIRE
 SECURE FORMER
 CERMAN LINERS

RIO DE JANEIBO- LPD-One of the first duties of AleXandre Conty, the first French ambassador 10 Brazil, will be to secure for France. elthar by purchase or proIongation of the leasing contract already existing, the use of a large part of the German shipping seized in Brazilian ports dur ing the war
 Considerable discussion has been going on in the Brazilian press as 10 the final ownership of the formerly German vessels taken over and leased to France In some quarters it had been asserted that all German ships, no matter where seized would be divided approximately among the various allied powers which partici- pated in the war
 The official view here. however, is that Brazilian ownership of vessels seized in Brazilian waters is estab- lished both by the leasing contract with France, which describes the ships specifically as ships belonging to the Lloyd Brasileiro" Brazilian govern men merchant fecD, and by the Yer, sailles treaty, which vests the owner ship of vessels seized in allied ports to the respective countries in which the seizures were made
 A local paper however, has asked, ITO whom do the ships now actually belong?" and called upon the govern ment 10 explain
 In reply the government stated that while the peace conference did con- slider dividing all such ships among the allies, the United States opposed the idea, France, the statement said. opposed a general clause giving such ships to the nations which seized them but, as there was no special agreement regarding the ships seized in Brazil, the ownership of these yes sels is determined by the clause in the Versailles treaty giving the ships seized in allied ports to the countries sezing the vessels The official state ment further admits that an offer of sale for some of the ships was made last June. It is said that cer- tain negotiations were set on foot looking to a renewal of the leasing contract with France, but that these were not completed owing to the absence of the French minister. In the meantime, however, the leasing of the ships was being continued and with the arrival of the new French ambassador the negotiations would be resumed and, it was hoped, com pleted at an early date.
 Ambassador Conty stated in an in terview upon his arrival that the question of the ex-German ships was one of the first points he would dis cuss with the Brazilian government He expressed confidently that one of the various proposals he would make regarding the ships would be accept able to Brazil.
