EXPLANATION OFFERED
Japan Denies That Recent Move at Geneva Has Been Influenced By Immigration Problems.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Tokio, Sept. 30.-Japanese insist ence on an amendment to the pro- posed protocol of arbitration and se- curity, now before the League of Nations Is based wholly upon the legal not the immigration phase of the question, and differences to the contrary are far fetched, according to official views obtained here to- day. Apparent indifference on the part of newspapers and officials and the manner in which the press avoided any previous reference to the subject, were the most remark able characteristics of Japap's re- ception of the announcements of Japanese delegates at Geneva.

OWENS ATTEMPTS
 TO BREAK JAIL
Alleged AK Man Plots Daring Escape, But
 Plans Miscarry

If Frank Owens, the alleged ax- wielder waiting trial in the county jail, had been a little less precipitous in carrying out his cleverly laid plans of escape he would probably be free, according to jail authorities.
 It all happened Friday morning when jailers heard heavy thud under Owens window. There was rush of jail attaches while some ran to warn the warden that something was up and others to the death cell where Owens was confined. The cell was found empty and the barred window was out. It had fallen into a passaseway lead" ing to the court yard. Deputies im- mediately surrounded the jail, and in moment Owens was seen crouching on the roof, casting hurried slahces about him apparently searching for an expedient and concealed path to free dom.
 When Owens heard the shouts of we'll shoot to kill if you don't get back in quick" and saw that c break through the cordon of armed men was suicide, he decided that his game was up, and slowly and suddenly returned to his prison.
 In preparing for the escape Owens had slowly scraped away the concrete which held the grating in position. us- ing the sharp point of the handle of his drinking cup that he had broken off. He stripped his bed and took a bar from the frame to pay the grat- ing from its solid foundation. This done. he was ready to make his get away at dark, by merely lifting the window from it's place. He had pried the window

COUNTY CONTEST
 OFFICIALLY ENDS
Waldrop Is 16-Vote Win ner-NO Further
 @ Controversy

". J. Waldorf was officially named fifth member of the board of revenue by majority of 16 votes over W. B Copeland, his contestant, at a meeting of the county democratic executive com mittee Friday afternoon, called to pass on the report of the special sub-commit tee which has been conducting the re count of the votes for board of revenue in the May 13 primary.
 The report of the subcommittee composed of R. F. Lovelady, chairman Arthur Barton and w. E. Hargrove contained the recapitulation of theil count of the votes for each member oI the board, and submitted 9 question able ballots which had been left out of the count. These ballots might have given Copeland the victory, but Hugo Black, acting for him, refused to con. test again.
 The number of votes credited to Waldorf was 9,479, and to Copeland 9,463. Four other leading candidates received votes as follows Edmondson, 16,6SS; Batson, 14,345; Reed, 1929 Lewis, 9,S97.
 The cost of the recount, said to be about $1,00O, is borne by Copeland Of this amount S630 will be paid the subcommittee who conducted the re- count, and the remainder is for sup plies they used.
