TOKYO. Dec. 1S.-Bunki Aikawa

when police learned he was seeking
United States Ambassador Edgar A.
Bancroft.
Aikawa, twenty-five, son OF a

police arrested and searched him
they found he was carrying a

After an investigation it was
claimed by police that Aikawa had
tried to buy a bomb previously.
Ambassador Bancroft was not in
the vicinity of the old compound and
was not menaced in any way.
Aikawa was turned over to alien

him to be insane.
In demanding an interview with
Ambassador Bancroft, Aikawa de-

This statement is similar to that

Two-Mile Limit

The trial Of Emmett Putnam,

Under this law, man in Viz

From the outset Of the trial,
which opened at 10 o'clock in
Judge Samuel G. Brent's court,
it was clear that Crandal Mackey,
Putnam's lawyer, was determined
to wage a bitter fight in behalf
of the man who is accused by

he was both drunk and sober.

The charges against the employee
were denounced today as a red
herring" by Senator, Ashurst (Dem)
of Arizona. a leader in the fight to
enact the postal pay bill.
1T is significant that great ex-
ploitation is made Of the matter at

to me like some one is drawing a
red herring across the real issue.
1t is ridiculous to presume that a
Senate employe can influence the
votes of Senators. If a crime has
been committed, let the guilty man
be arrested at once. There should
be no further delay"
