Native Uprising Again
Is Looming In
India
BY international News Service

CALCUTTA, Aug. 12.-lndlan
Swarajists appear to be strength
ening for a new fight against
England, due to their dis
pleasure with the attitude which
has been adopted by Lord
Birkenhead.
Lord Birkenhead, the Swara-
lists feel, has ignored their of
fer of cooperation in bringing
about remedy for the unrest
in India.
Gandhi wrote a letter to
Pandit MotiIal Nehru, leader of
the Swarajists stating that he
believed, in view of Lord Bir-
kenhead's attitude, that the
power of the party must be
increased. Gandhi proposes to
ask the All-India Congress Com
mittee to place the whole ma
chinery of the Congress at the
disposal of Nehru.
Nehru responding to Gandhi,
declare that it is the duty of
Swarajists to go ahead and to
prepare India to challenge ir-
responsibility and insolent au-
,hority. "

Beach Confesses Graft
By international News Service


CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Police de-
tails patroling Chicago's China
town were on the alert today to
prevent an outbreak of war be-
tween On Leong and Hip Sing
tongs, threatened as a result of
the cleanup of twelve opium
dens by Federal officials Monday
night.
The opium "joints' were raided
and a hundred distributors and
users of narcotics arrested fol-
lowing the seizure of Colonel
Gray Beach, head of the local
narcotic bureau, and three of his
agents on charges of trafficking
in dope.
Situation Becomes Critical
All opium smoking resorts closed
were in territory controlled by the
powerful and wealthy On Leong
Tong.
The fact that no Hip Sing resort
was raided has inspired On Leong
leaders to charge that Hip Sing
men elaborated with the Govern
ment in arranging the raids.

from punishment of it's own viola

STORY
Jealousy Cited as Motive for
Mary Price accusing Him
of Attack

Jealousy over the attention that
he had been paying to another girl
is the only possible motive that
Mary Price could have in accusing
him of attacking her last Satur-
day night in Silver Spring, Nd,
Robert S. Parkhurst, twenty-five
year cd son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Parkhurst, declared in his
cell at the Rockville jail today.
Young Parkhurst, in an inter-
view with a Washington Times
reporter, told of his relations with
the sixteen-year-old Price girl, and
related a clear and consistent
story of his whereabouts Satur-
day night.
Known Her Several Weeks
He has known the young girl for
several weeks, he says, and had
visited her on numerous occasions
and has twice taken her to see his
parents at Berwyn, Md.
The youth is not bitter toward
the girl for accusing him, but he
does not understand her motive,
he says, unless it Is jealousy of
another girl friend of his or the
result of & slight quarrel.
Before God, am Innocent" he
declares over and over. II am no
saint, but / wouldn't harm a girl"
He came to Silver Spring in
February of this year, and has
lived with the family of j. A. Van
Horn, on Ridge avenue, working
for Mr.. Van Horn part of the time,
and elsewhere as a plasterer. The
entire Van Horn family is intense
ly loyal to him, sure of his in
and some believe that his
warm friendship for Oslo Van Horn,
of his host and hostess,
may have piqued Mary Price.
Tells of His Whereabouts
Parkhurst today gave to a Wash
ington Times reporter the following
story of his movements Saturday
night:
Il got home from watching the
Khan parade about supper time. Mr..
and Mrs. Van Horn were at the
house. / stayed there until after
8 o'clock, when Willie Atkins, a
friend who lives aSross the street,
and / got into my flivver and we
rode into Washington. Here we
had some soft drinks. Then we rode
back to the District Line, at Geor-
gia avenue, where there was a
carnival going on. We got there
at nearly 10 o'clock. Soon we sepa
rated; I don't know where Bill
went. danced a little: then when
saw my girl friend going off in
machine with a man, / got
in my flivver and followed them ON
their ride. / got back home at al
most midnight"
This story is corroborated by the
Van Horn family, by Willie Atkins
and by A. A. Fuchsman, who dis
penses soft drinks in a buffet
lunch, at 1900 Georgia avenue. The
latter told Washington Times re-
porter that Parkhurst and com
panion, wearing raincoats, had
some sofa drinks in his place Sat
,lrday night about o'clock. Park
hurst. and the Van Horn family,
had already said the two youths
wore raincoats on their ride. The

ion after the attack wore no rain.

One of the most significant is
the law relating to ownership of
real estate. Although the govern
ment retains as cornerstone of
communism state ownership OF
land, buildings may now be prIva tely
owned FOR a period corresponding
to the normal lifetime of a land
lord.
The new law not only permits a
builder to own a stone building
of his own construction for sixty
years, or a wooden one for forty
years. but exempts both from all
taxes for the first ten years. The
owner is merely required to pay a,
nominal rent for the ground, and

ALPENA, Mich, Aug. 12.-
Bills for beer and wine used in
the household of Congressman
Frank D. Scott, from 1917 up

by his wife in their divorce suit

Scott 'to drag my skirts through

want to look at me-"
"Have you been able to continue

Tried for Various Positions
Mrs. SCOTS profession is that of
nursing, but she related also un.
successful attempts to gain en-
ployment with real estate firms,
department stores and hotels. She
has been receiving $50 a month
alimony since last December Ex-
cept for the aid of her friends, this
was her sole means of support, she
said.
At the close of yesterdays ses-
sion, Mrs. SCOTS counsel read into
the record letters showing that
Scott had told his friends in Wash
ington that he had arranged so that
there would be no publicity, once
the case got into the Michigan
Jurisdiction.
Judge Is Ired
Judge limerick interrupted the
reading and said sharply:
II want it understood at this
point, regardless of all the publicity
shat has gone before, that no one,
he he a Congressman or any one
else in official life. can arrange
with the officials of Alpena county
to have any matter whatever with

I have allowed everything shown
here to go into the records"
Mrs. SCOTS side of the case,
wherein she is fighting the suit
with cross bill, is expected to end
today.

LICENSE COLLECTION
FALLS OFF HEAVILY
Reduction in Price of Tags to 81
Cause of Decrease in
Revenues.

Collections by the District govern
ment for miscellaneous licenses fell
off heavily during the last fiscal year.
due principally to enactment of the
law which reduced automobile tags to
fiat price OF 81. This reduction was
made because of the gasoline tax i'm
posed on motorists, but the income
from the gas tax does not show up in
the report of the license Office.
In his annual report to the Commits
sioners yesterday Wade I'll. Coombs
superintendent. said license fees last
year aggregated S372 ,707.97. For the
previous fiscal year the total collected
was 579,094.59. a total decrease for
the past year of S206. 6.3S2.62. Prior TO
last year auto tags cost So, So and so,
according TO horsepower. The in
auguration of the gas tax. however,
netted the city about 100000 a year
which is used on street paving.
Mr.. Coombs reported 112,155 auto
dobile tags issued during the last
fiscal year, an increase of 1875 over
the preceding year. This figure, how
ever. does not represent the actual
number of machines in the city. since
a car must have new tags each time it
changes hands, and there is a frequent
turnover of used cars.

THOMPSON MURDER
TRIAL IS DELAYED

BY the Associated Press,

by the Associated Press
MANILA, August AFTER reading
the confession in which Lieut.. J. s.
Thompson admitted killing Miss
Audrey Burleigh last April, the court
martial which is trying the officer on
a charge of murder adjourned until
September to await further deposi-
tions from the United States regard
ing his sanity. An Army medical
board has declared Thompson sane.
In the confession, made to the mill
tary authorities at Fort Mckinley the
day after the killing, Thompson de-
clared he was engaged to Miss Bur
leigh, but his pay as Il second lieu
tenant was not sufficient to support a
wife. He said he could not live with
out Miss Burleigh, and. therefore, de
cided to kill her. The girls cOntem-
plated early departure for the United
States had also disturbed his peace of
mind
Thompson said he intended 10 com
nit suicide after killing Miss Burleigh
but that in the excitement he enptied
his revolver while shooting her. He
said he intended obtaining more am
munition at his quarters at Fort
Mckinley but that he changed his
mind and surrendered.
Before adjournment the court mar
tial admitted into evidence supple
mentary report from the medical board
which examined Thompson during the
last few days The report confirmed
the previous finding, holding Thomp-
son to be sane.
