 25 Persons Shot.
 The Rev. W. II. Foote, Canadian Presbyterian Missionary at Yong i jpng, names several villages in which the homes, schools or churches of Christian natives were burned and say5 that in one of them 25 people were shot and the bodies burned. Those cases he dclares are absolutely authentic," the premises having been inspected by four mis- s;onaries and Q custom official.
 Quoting Koreans as his authority, he says that 23 persons were shot and seven burned to death in their own houses at Cheng San; that 80 were shot at tn Tong Ja and that these were all Christian villages.
 Atrocities Charged.
 Miss Emma N. Paletrope, of On tario, a member of the Canadian Presbyterian Mission at Yongiung, tells in her statement of the eXecu- tion of five men from the village Of Suchilgo who, she says were led by the Japanese soldiers to the top of a hill about three miles from Iongtung and there put to death.
 In the Top of the hill" she de clare9, there is quite Q large hol- tow not visible from the road or village. The victims were made to sit at the bottom of this where they were slashed at with swords If is reported by an eye witnesses tEat two swords were broken and then the awful work was finished with bayonet1. Then the loose earth was pulled down from the sides of the hollow to cover the mutilated bodies"

STOCKHOLM. March 1S.--Reports
that the Russian naval fortress of

Advices would seem to indicate that
communists within the fortress and

place. The garrison, numbering ap-
proximately Is 000 is declared to have

MAY DRAW ANOTHER
into MURDER NET

WARSAW, March 1s.-While the
funeral Of Leroy Lovett, 19 years old,
for whose mysterious death Virgil
Decker, aged 1S, IS being held in the
kosciusko county Jail here was being
held today at his home in Elkhart,
county authorities were marshalling
the evidence which they will submit to
grand jury to be called to meet in
special session next Monday.
The authorities were working to
round out the story of Lovetts death,
which they said when completed prob
ably would involve another person.
Their express opinion was that they
would develop a murder plot that ex-
tended over a period of two or three
months and that, as planned, 1t was
wholly complete but that when it was
executed. it was bungled.

DiUert Immigrants to Farms,
Policy Announced by Husband
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU


WASHINGTON, March 1S-A pol
icy to divert immigrants from the in
dustrial centers to the agricultural
districts is announced by William w.
Husband, the new commissioner gen
eral Of immigration. 1t is his idea
to coordinate agencies of the depart
ments of interior, agriculture and labor
to place newly arrived aliens on small
farms throughout the country. HuS-
bands policy has received the indorse-
ment of his superior, Secretary of
Labor Davis.
Coincident with the announcement
of the new immigration policy of the
department of labor is the action of
Frederick A. Wallis, immigrant COM
missioner at New York, in making
public some startling facts connected
with the immigration service in the
metropolis.
Wallis asserts that when he assum-
ed his duties he found that detention
rooms had not been cleaned for four
months; that the floors were covered
with filth and that children we're play
ing around in it; that diseased aliens
slip through the guards by the hun
dreds because of lack of facilities and
working force to prevent it; that re-
Gently two men, lepers, were on the
point of being passed when the skin
odor of one of them attracted a
physicians attention; that hundreds of
stowaways get ashore and disappear.
Most of them are Reds" or criminals
Bring Pressure.
Much pressure is being brought to
bear on members of congress for the
reenactment of the immigration meas.

1900 PERSONS SIGN
HOME RULE PETITIONS;
SENTIMENT IS STRONG

Over 1900 signatures have been
placed on petitions for a city manager
form of government in Richmond, ac-
cording to reports turned in to Ben
jamin Johnson, Jr., head of the
citizens committee that undertook the
circulation OF petitions for a new
form of government for Richmond
Two wards have not reported.
This number of signers assures
an election to determine whether
the city manager form of govern
ment shall be adopted here or whether
the present system of mayor and coun-
Gil shall continue. This election prob
ably will. be held early in June if the
remaining steps are carried through
without a hitch
Reports from ward chairmen over
the city indicate that the obtaining of
signatures has been a comparatively
easy matter. Two wards had not re-
ported at noon Friday and with their
report it is expected that the number
of signers will number over the 1000
lnark.
To Carry on Work.
Leaders in the movement state that
the work of obtaining signatures will
not be discontinued today but will be
carried on in an effort to obtain at
least 5000 signatures to the petition.
The most encouraging thing in the
outlook for city manager form of gov
eminent fer Richmond is the general
interest that has been taken in the
movement by all organizations and in
terests of the city, those chiefly inter
ested state. A spontaneous demand
for some change seems to have come
with the passage of the bill by the
state legislature which gives city the
option of deciding the form OF govern
ment it shall employ in its city affairs.
lnte rest Large
The fact that the bill is only one
week old and that already an election
is assured is pointed to as indicative
of the interest manifested in Rich
mond.
The petitions that have now been
signed will be presented to the city
clerk on April 9. which is 80 days after
the signing of the bill, and is in ac-
cord with the statute.
An educational campaign setting
: forth the plan Of government known
as the city, manager form will be
started in the city, leaders in the
movement state. Every effort will be
, made to inform all voters as to the
function of the plan.

.STRIKE Sentiment
| GROWS AMONG UNIONS
IN PACKING PLANTS
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, March 1S.-Official re-
suit of the strike vote taken Wednes-
day by packing house employees in
many middlewest cities were to be an
nounced today at headquarters of the
Amalagamated order of Meat cutters
and Butchers workmen. In few
cities union leaders said the vote had
not been complete but unofficial re-
ports indicated almost unanimous
sentiment in favor of strike unless
the packers wage reduction and rear
rangement of working hours was sus-
pended pending arbitration.
Reports of almost unanimous strike
votes were received from Cleveland,
Fort Worth and Cedar Rapids.
Tabulation of the vote taken at the
Chicago stock yards last night showed
1927 votes favoring strike out of
the first 14,S19 votes counted. At
Omaha, 6,S41 votes were cast 5,109 of
them favoring a strike. Only two of
the first 100 ballots counted at Kansas
City were against a strike.
Forced to Shut Down.
A staement by six of the smaller
packers made public today through the
American Institute of meat packers,
announced that most of them have
been forced to shut down their plants
to avert further losses due to material
cost sand wage rates under the war
time agreements.
PACKERS can stand very little more
hammering," said James S. Ager, of
the William Davies packing company.
IF the larger packers should be per-
suaded to make any unfavorable re-
vision of the wage reduction they have
just effected it would artificially peg
up the wage rate of all Chicago pack
ing houses to point at which many
establishments probably would be
compelled to remain closed indefin-
itely."
Lane Favors Delberation
A telegram from Dennis Lane, sec
retary-treasurer Of the butchers work
men to Secretary Davis Of the depart
ment Of labor, charged that the pack.
ers were attempting to stampede the
employees into a runaway strike.

quest the representatives of the pack

their clients request that they stop

(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Presi-
dent Harding had under advisement
today an appeal from western senators
and representatives that he place an
immediate embargo on the importa-
ton of a number of farm commodities
including wool, hides, meats and but
ter, represented as most keenly affect
ed by foreign competition.
When the request was made in con-
ference late yesterday President Hard
ing after being told that many pro-
ducers in those lines faced ruin unless
relief was forthcts ming, indicated that
he desired to confer with certain mem
bers of his cabinet before acting on
the appeal. Other products on the
proposed embargo list were lemons,
cottonseed oil and long staple cotton.
Adhering to its program for rushing

gress an anti-dumping bill together

With the committee also still hold
ing firmly to the view that a perman.
ent tariff bill should have priority over
tax revision on the legislative pro-
gram, it was intimated by Chairman
Fordney that the actual work of writ
ing the tariff measure might be begun
late today. Meanwhile there had been
no intimation as to whether President
Harding who expects to confer in a
day or two with western members OF
the committee favoring tariff priority
had approved the program agreed up
on at the recent conference between
Republicans Of the house committee
and the senate finance committee.
At the treasury department although
although Secretary Mellon publicly has
expressed no views on the question OF
priority for tariff or revenue revision
officials already have begun the formu
lation of tax revision policy.
A detailed survey of revenue sources
and the extent to which each might
be drawn upon for federal income is
under way in order to have all neces
sary tax data ready for early submis
sion to congressional committees
