EX-P0L|CE: CLERK. PUT UNDER ARREST.
Charles F. Howell To Answer Mobile Indictment Following
 Federal Liquor Probe

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 31.-(Special Leased Wire.)--Charfes F. Howell, former clerk of the Mobile police de- partment, who was dismissed from the police roll by the city commission last June following admission that he fired pistol at another man in the crowded dance at Monroe Park, was arrested Saturday at Columbus, Ohio, and will be brought back to Mobile to answer two federal indict- ments, charging conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act. A tele- gram stating that Howell had been arrested was received at the office of the United States district attorney here today. Howell, at times, was acting chief of police.
 Howell is charged in one indict- ment with conspiring with former Chief of Police 'Shaughnessy and Mrs. Tom Brennan, and in the other with conspi-ing with John ytcEvoy. according to federal authorities.
 JOHNSON RELEASED
 Holding that matters had been brought out in the hearing before him, which would warrant thorough investigation by city and state authorities, but that there was no nrobable cause for the holding of the defendant on a federal charge, United States Commissioner J. l. Burgett this morning discharged Robert A. Johnson, charged with conspiring l.. violate the national prohibition law. The hearing of the case was held Saturday. but decision was reserved until this morning so that the com might make a study of the law with reference to the conten- tion of the defense that the case was not one in which the federal court had jurisdiction.
 Johnson was charged jointly with P. J. O'Shaughnessy former chief of police. The former city official waived examination when arraigned and was bound over to the next fed- eral grand jury. The discharge of Johnson today does not necessarily mean, according to federal officials, that the O'Shaughnessy case or even the Johnson charge will not be in vestigated by the next federal grand jury.

 insitis Epidemic in Japan

By The Associated Press.
 Tokio. Aug. 27.-seyeral of the most eminent physicians have left hurriedly for the western provinces where a new epidemic. resembling spinal meningitis is reported to be raging, causing nearly 900 deaths in recent weeks.

 The provinces affected are Ksga- wa, Tokushima, Okayama and Toyel- ma, on the island of Shikoku.
 Dispatches from the provinces in- dicate that the epidemic has spread throughout western Hondu, the main island of Japan, as we'll as through out Shikoku. Besides fresh out breaks in Tokushima and Kagawa prefectures. where it originated, the following districts have been added to the affected list: Magma, where it is estimated there have been a hundred cases with death rate of eighty per cent; Ishikawa, aS cases;
