substantial recessions were forced in

YACHT IS

RACE
Fog Fails to Hide Craft From
Eyes of Customs
Men.

NEW YORK. Sept. SIN the
cold gray dawn of Perth Amboy'
N. J., as the mists We're slowly
rising from the Raritan river, none
but a piercing pair Of eyes could
have discerned the 60-foot yacht,
Elinor, furtivcly swishing up
stream headed for the west bank
at a point opposite Tottenville.
Unfortunately for the captain and
his crew of three, not one but
two pairs of piercing eyes were on
the lookout. Inspector Joseph ].
Murphy, Of the United States Gus
toms Office, was peering through
speed boat Gadfly was Chief En-
gineer Harry Kraft, experimenting
his normal vision with highpower
field glasses.
Yacht Is Seized After Race.
The Gadfly called to the Eleanor
to stop. She put on speed instead,
but her best time was not enough
and she was overtaken. Neither
Capt. William F1agg, of Jersey
City, nor his crew-Robert Wester-
field, also Of Jersey City; William
Smith, Of Staten Island, and Louis
Rosen, Of Newark-made any effort
to resist arrest.
Amy liquor aboard?" inquired
Inspector Murphy as he set foot
on the yacht.
Liquor" exclaimed the captain
Indignantly.
Liquor" echoed the crew in
credulously.
On the deck, in spite OF the pro-
tests, were found a score Of cases
containing brandy and rum. In the
hold were many moro cases of
Scotch and numerous more cases
Of wine. Under the seats in the
pantry where the life preservers
should have been, and dangling
over one side were still more cases.
Haul Totals 1000 Cases.
There were 1000 cases IN all.
and a valuation of 100000 was set
on them. The Eleanor was lowed
to the city wharf and moored while
Captain Flagg and the crew were
locked up in the Perth Amboy
Jail charged with violation Of the

GEORGIA SLAYER
To FILE PLEA
FOR TRIAL
Aged Man Faces Death and
Son Life Term for Admitted
Killing of Kin.
By II. C. SHERILL,
International News Service.

NEWMAN, Ga, Sept. S.-An aged
man, J. w. Minter, gray and
broken, today sat in a grim prison
cell of Coweta county jail, awaiting
death. Near him was his youngest
son, Grady, who soon will begin
serving a life term in prison. These
were the prices juries demanded for
the murder Of Willard Trouton,
world war veteran and the elder
Mfnter's son-in-law, after two OF
the shortest trials in the history OF
Georgia criminal hearings.
The same jail holds as prisoners
another of the Minter boys, Jeff,
and two of the doomed mems sons
in-law. Leon Goodrum and Floyd
Weldon, along with Walter Felt
man, a friend Of the Minter family.
These four will be tried for the
same murder next week.
Because Trouton beat" his wife,
the sextet held a death council
during the first few days of August,
kidnapped their victim from Newman
streets on the night Of August 10
and threw him still alive into a
watery grave, according to confes.
sions made in court by the two
convicted men. HIS badly mutildted
body, tied securely and weighted
down with heavy rocks, was found
In Line creek three days later by a
negro woman who was fishing.
Trials for the remaining four men
will begin Wednesday. If they ara
as swiftly disposed Of as the first
two, they will have been completed
one week from today.
The aged Minter went on trial
Thursday morning. Thursday night
he knew he was doomed to die.
The youngest son was called on the
stand Yesterday morning. Long be.
tore the sun set last night he was
told ne must spend the remainder
or his days behind prison bars.
just couldn't stand to see my
daughter mistreated any longer" fs
the way Trouton's father.in-law ex-
plains the murder. II knew that
was one sure way to protect her."
Mrs. Trouton had left her nus.
band and was living with her i'm
mediate family at the time of the
murder. TrOuton was attempting to
effect a reconciliation.
Both of the convicted M,nters
nave announced they will file mo-
tons for new trial.

a few months ago. is still stand
ing and that the Imperial Hotel
survived the shock.
II, however. the high buildings
did collapse, 1t is clear that Tokyo
and her American engineering ad-
visers should be very careful in
urging reconstruction along Ameri-
can lines. On the other hand, this
is the greatest fire disaster the city
has suffered since gas and cleo
tricity were introduced. It is
highly probable that drastic steps
will now be taken to limit the use
of wood for buildings, especially
in the business districts. Light
steel and concrete will doubtless
prove to be the favorite material.
The city planning commission
may restrict construction in the
lowlands, which may have been the
center Of the worst destruction.
There is no reason why Tokyo
should be congested on the low.
lands around the head Of Tokyo
bay. Tokyo Is not like Manhat-
tan, hemmed in by wide rivers.
Lack Of TRANSPORTATION.
One reason for congestion is the
lack Of adequate means Of trans.
portation. Tokyo depends entirely
on the steam railways and electric
railways running into the suburbs
and street railways. Tokyo has no
rapid transit system, either ele-
waited or subway.
From what has been said It is
evident that the reconstruction in
Tokyo will present many trouble
some problems. Unless they have
persisted in the disaster there are
many capable engineers in Tokyo
who will take up the work in the
light Of bitter experience Of the
past few days. There was opened
last November the new office of
the building department to control
building in TOKYO. Expert mum.
cipal engineers familiar with
Western practices were then max.
ing careful studies of fire and
earthquake hazards. A new build.
ing code on the most approved
lines had been promulgated. The
city. had been districted with
reference to hazards and minute
provisions had been made with
respect to height. materials, etc
This code forbade the erection Of
new buildings more than one hun
dred feet high, and there was then
some grumbling about govern
ment interference" Perhaps there
will be less now.

UNEMPLOYMENT
IS CHIEF EVIL
IN ENGLAND
Extreme Measures Likely to
Be Applied This Winter
to Solve Problem.
By LUTHER A. HUSTON,
international News Service.


LONDON, Sept. S.-The spectre OF
gaunt hordes Of hunger-marchers-
members Of England's vast army Of
unemployed--is haunting the holi-
days of British ministers.
With Parliament adjourned until
early in November, the Government
Is technically ''at ease" after many
strenuous months, but it 10 known
that many responsible officials and
many members Of Parliament are
giving anxious thought to the forth
coming winter and the unemploy-
ment that Is certain to present one
OF the most pressing domestic pro-
blems the Government will face.
When Parliament reconvenes it 10
certain that strong pressure will be
brought to bear, particularly by the
Labor Party, for the adoption of a
definite program for alienation Of
unemployment.
In Dire Straits.
England Is facing for the fourth
time a winter in which exceptional
measures for the relief Of those who
are out Of work will be necessary.
In the opinion of many British
leaders the measures taken by
Premier Stanley Baldwin's Govern
ment to alleviate unemployment will
be a test of the strength Of the
present ministry. -
Just as settlement of the Ruhr
situation is the outstanding problem
Of the Governments foreign policy
so unemployment has become the
paramount domestic question.
During the winter of 1928 there
were more than 100000 men and
women out of work in the British
Isles. For long months the "out OF
works" marched from city to city,
tramped the streets of London and
clamored at the doors of the Govern.
ment for relief. Vast sums were ex-
pended by the Government and by
private agencies in relief work, but
the measures taken were inadequate
to the demands Of the situation. At
the present time, statistics show,
there are still 1,185,000 unemployed
in the United Kingdom.
Plan Public Works.
In the closing days Of the last ses-
sion of Parliament Sir Montagu Bar
low, the Minister Of Labor, brought
forth tentative relief plans involving
chiefly the expenditure OF huge sums
in public works. Sir Montagu said
the Government already had sane
toned construction schemes involv-
ing an expenditure of approximately
$3.50 900 900.
Government work Of every de-
scription is to be accelerated, Sir
Montagu said, and every possible
inducement given to private enter
prise to inaugurate expansion
schemes. The railways, for instance,
, which have reserve funds aggre-
eating 10000, 900, are to be urged
to undertake all possible develop
Ement work.
AS encouragement to private en-
terprise the Government has under.
taken to bear so per cent Of the
interest charges for five years on all
revenue-producing schemes and SIS
per cent of the interest on all non
revenue-producing development work.

tempt to murder the Rev. u. s. John
son, a Baptist minister, who was

He could not identify any member
of the mob. When the crew of an
interurban car found him, he had
wriggled off the tracks, but was still
