self to the town as James Francis Horton. He came originally with one, L. H. Bell of Stamford. They were giving up their valuable time simply to make Norfolk prosperous industrial center. They were soon taken into the fold and in a few weeks time they knew Everybody.
 ''It is too long a story to tell about the preparations which were made to launch the Norfolk Manu- featuring Company. They painted glowing pictures of what the com pany would do for the town and for the surrounding community. AS town treasurer and librarian J was offered the chance of a life time on the ground floor. I had no reason at that time to doubt Horton's sin cerity. I had never met a man quite like him before. The biggest people in town received him and he was soon established as tour res pected fellow townsman"---a man sent to us by kind Providence who would lead us out of the darkness into prosperity.
 q was worth at that time about five or six thousand dollars. l re- member one night I went to the Wangum Hotel in Norfolk, where the big people of tn town had gathered. Horton was there, the center of at tention, rubbing his smooth palms greeting all with his beaming smile: Everything looked rosy. He wanted me to become an officer and direc- tor in the company. Everybody Tn town knows this. Let them LOOK back at it onw and think.
 ..sI put everything I had into the eononanv. Horton said l could make no mistake. The ching was sure to DO. We would be rolling in wealth in no time. He began to canvass the community and his ability to- gather in stock subscriptions was amazing, The first thing he did was to tcli me that he had the solid backing cI the Citv Bank and Trust Company ot Hartford, He said that MT 'Holt and MT Allen would do anything for hln' Ha had carte blanche in the bank ba said. I took his word for 1t. There were a lot of people in the town o1g' o,or than was who took his word who took it after I had been sent or inc rock, who even boasted him t"l member of the house of representa- lives and who put him on the schoo hoard. Here is another thing WI can all look back to just now' an( think about, now that excitement all over.

Bunk" Says MIR. Hanihara
Japan's attitude in giving up all her
rights in Shantung, including her
leasehold on the district of Kiao-chau
but excluding 80 per cent control of
the railway, was explained tonight by
Mr.. Hanihara. He described as Chunk"
any idea that Japanese overrun Shan
tung::
had one put oven en- you," continued
Mr.. Hanihara, who said he employed
slang to make himself understood.
"The actual condition is this: There
is north and south railway which
crosses the province, section Of the
main line from Peking to Marking. A
part Of that is operated by the Chinese
and asection by British interests. From
that main road runs a line eastward
to the port of Tsingtao, on Kinaochau
Bay. That line, 2S9 miles long, is now
held by the Japanese.
Policing it and stationed at the ter
minals we have 2,70O men guarding
the line. You pay us q great compli-
ment by saying that this force holds
the province with its 40000,000 Chinese
in subjection. If we were really so
brave and so capable. we should not
have TO strive for 70 or any other
proportionate navy for defense.
"The leased territory of Kiachau
overs an area Of 200 square miles,
which Is less than one-half of per cent
of the area of the province. We took

only did we take nothing from our
neighbor, but we actually offered to re-
store the port to her and to give her
q half right in the former German
railway.
Holds Offer Is Generous
eve consider that for the cost that
we paid in blood and money we had
some right to compensation, but we
planned that the compensation should
come from the Germans only. What
we have intended is that those mining
rights, which the Germans held, and
a half share in the railway that runs
from the port to the provincial capital
should be our compensation. Our way
of thinking may be peculiar, but we
doubt whether Englishmen or Ameri-
cans, placed as we arc in the Far East
in absolute need of raw materials and
markets for our manufactures, would
have made SO generous an offer to
China.
However, we are glad that through
the good offices Of Mr.. Hughes and

conversations with our friends with a
view to an early settlement, fair and
satisfactory to the parties concerned.
We, Japanese and Chinese, have got to
live together in the Far East, and we,
for our part, have nothing but friendly
feelings toward the Chinese. We are
willing to make serious effort to
come to an nmicablo understanding
with them. hut we do not want the
railway or the mines to fall to func-
ton. If they do those Chinese In
Shantung who live by means Of these
enterprises would suffer equally with
the Japanese, who would be deprived
of raw materials and of markets.
We have already agreed to withdra "
our 2,700 guards as soon az the Chinese
provide guards to protect the line. We
have agreed to hand back Kiaochau to
China, If she will open it and other
places along the railway for the trade
and commerce Of all foreigners, not
for Japanese alone.
owe have agreed in the general CON
ference to the policy of the open dool,
which we Japanese have not every
where obtained nor enjoyed up to the
present.
Dispute Declared Not Vital
"Thc other matters in dispute in this
question of Shani f,g are of absolutel
insignificant Importance. The Chimes

THEATRES

The Lois Howell Players scored
in their presentation of The Break
ing Point" at the Crescent Theatre
yesterday afternoon and last night.
This play has not been given it's New
York presentation as yet, and will
not be seer in that city until some
time next fall. In offering this play
to the theatre-loving public of this
city the Lois Howell Players are
standing by the standard they set
upon their arrival here Of only pro-
ducing the best and latest plays on
the Crescent stage.
y Those who saw yesterdays per-
Torrance were loud in their praise
of not only the play but also the
work done by the actors. The play
itself tells a story that is only too
often found true in life. that of a
son of a wealthy man who falls in
love with an actress, resulting in the
mans family doing everything in
their power t o break the match, thus
resulting in unhappiness for all. The
play is one of the best ever produced
in this city and ones time is well
spent in attending the performance.
On Monday the management of
the Crescent will present one of the
latest film releases. THE Rockies
Return" This is a great picture,
starring Douglas Mclean.

At The Strand.

Anita Stewart. the moving picture
actress, has a solution to the prob
lem as to what is going to become
of the good children of bad parents.
Above all, she thinks there is no
reason why an innocent child should
emulate an erring parent and she is
of the opinion that the all-too-com-
mon tendency in this direction can
be corrected in a simple way.
"A girl feels the effect of evil par
entage more than a boy does and
therefore she needs the most atten-
tion," Miss Stewart says. I'm a
majority of cases the child Is herself
able to cope with the situation she
faces. but in order to make the
salvation unanimous and to throw
additional safeguards around evei-
the safest. I would suggest a law
which would actually and unerringly
record and keep close tabs on every
child of every parent whose reputa-
ton is in any way questionable. 1t
has always been the habit to rather
supinely tolerate wellknown bad
families, leaving the offspring to
their own fate without any helping
hands being offered. I say this is all
wrong and should be effectively recti-
fed by nothing short of rigid law.
a law which Is enforced without ex-
ception.
GAS a result of playing the part
of a girl who has an evil mother
and studying her deep feelings
thoroughly, I can appreciate the
~predicament such an unfortunate is
forced into, and I know the natural
impulse often Is to give up the battle
as useless against such overwhelming
odds. In this case the girl had been
living in a convent and her innocence
was untarnished, giving her unusual
strength to combat life's alternating
currents but had she been given the
further protection of actual law
applicable to her case. she would
have been spared many hours of
untold misery. Meanwhile the. girls
who are not so blessed with good
ness would be saved absolutely by
such a law"

Bruises on Girls Body
Refute Suicide Theory
Sweetheart Accused of Murder
After His Stained Shoes Fit
Tracks Near Death Spot

DURAND, Mich, April 2.-Informa-
ton that refuted the suicide theory
in the mysterious death of Lucy Whit
tum, whose body was found near her
home Thursday, has been obtained by
officers investigating the case, Sheriff
Sproul of Shiawassee County an
nounced tonight.
"The girl was not a suicide; she was
murdered" the Sheriff declared.
A more thorough examination of the
girls body to-day, according to the
Sheriff, revealed bruise on the tenn
pie, apparently caused by blunt In
strument, and similar marks on her
side.
Neither Of these bruises, it was said,
were present when the young woman
left her home Wednesday afternoon to
meet her sweetheart, Forrest Higgins,
with whom she planned to elope.
Higgins is held in the county Jail at
CQrunna on a charge Of murder. He
is to be arraigned Monday.
Shoes Higgins admitted he wore

ficers to-day and fitted into footprints
near the spot where the girls body
was found. The Sheriff announced
they fit perfectly.
The shoes, together with pair Of
gloves, have been sent to the State
Chemist to determine whether peculiar
marks upon them were caused by an
acid similar to that which had burned
the face of Miss Whittum, and which,
authorities declare, caused her death.
