TOXIC, Japan, April 19.-~Baron Ia

engaged today in forming a new cab
met to succeed the Wakatsuki minis
try, which resigned after the prlvy
council had rejected the government
decision to give substantial assistance
to the Bank of Taiwan, Ltd, known
also as the Bank of Formosa. lie an
nounced his decision to accept the
task this morning. His appointment
apparently was anticipated by the
market. Stocks opened buoyantly,
rising later TO 10 points.
General optimism was manifested,
the belief being expressed that Baron
Tanaka would adopt more positive
policies. both as concerns China ana
domestic affairs.
The difficulties of the Bank of Tai
wan do not seem TO be causing the
commotion which was expected IN
Toxic, this being attributed in imam
cial circles to the action of the Bank
of Japan in rendering financial aid
in the emergency.
Reports gathered by the newspaper
Asahi, however, indicate that uneasi-
ness is spreading over the country, all
the banks studying methods to cope
with the situation. No runs on banks
have been reported. One bank near
Kyoto closed, but it is a small insti-
tuition.
The Bank of Taiwan, which main
tained branches throughout Japan,
China, India, England and the United
States, has assets at the present time
totaling 10000, 900 yen and liabilities
amounting to the same figure. 1t is

MATCHMAKER SLAIN
IN DESERTED SHACK
Tragedy Near Cleveland Gives
Evidence of Struggle-Robbery
Is Believed Motive.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, April ia lonely
deserted shack near here was the
starting point today in a search for
slayers of John c. Compton, 80, Cleve-
land matchmaker, found dead last
night when an anonymous telephone
call told of his death.
Robbery was believed to have been
the motive for the Staying. The house
in which the body was found was de-
serted, the furniture overturned and
indications of struggle led investiga.
tors to believe he was lured to the
building and then killed. His cloth
ing had been rified.
Compton had been missing since
Saturday. Joseph Posski. farmer, said
he saw Compton standing in the door
way of the house early yesterday and
that he heard loud talking. About
1890 am, he said, he saw the man
who lives in the house drive away
with his wife and son. They had not
returned today and were sought for
questioning.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 19.-Near
the spot where the Stars and Stripes
was first unfurled in Washington,
Long Jim, last of a great Indian war
chief family, is making his stand
against civilization.
The wilderness home of the war
chief of the Chelan, Methow and
Okanogan Indians, has changed little
since the first visit of Astor fur
traders in 1911. Virtually the only
concession Long Jim has made to ad.
vancing civilization has been the edu.
cation. in the white mans schools, of
his daughter, Princess Jessie Jim. She
was proclaimed Princess America ii
at the national Indian congress here
last July and later an honor guest at
Atlantic City.
Long Jim took his present home
along the Okanogan River on the Col
vile reservation after years of bitter
struggle against early settlers and
United States Indian agents. The old
chief desired to live and die on the
land of his fathers at the mouth of
Lake Chelan, in north central Wash
ington.

OLD CHIEF UNCOMpROMISING
IN FIGHT AGAINST WHITE MAN

One Of his great fights ended when
Indian agents put him in jail for nine
weeks for refusal to give UP tribal
lands on Lake Cheian to white men.
Long Jim was released when courts
ruled he was entitled to a square
mile of his tribal holdings. But hav.
ing controlled vast territory from
the Cascade Mountains-to the Colum-
bia River, he refused to accept the
allotment.
Bitter against the white man, he
left the ancient Indian home and
moved to an old camp ground on the
reservation, so miles east. He paid
his cousin, Columbia Jim, to move and
leave him in solitary possession of the
wild tract. He still refuses to accept

The World and All
"FvE GoT A
By Charles p. Driscoll

The gambler is the worlds most unreflecting OPP
timist. He always believes that his luck is about TO
turn. He will certainly have better luck than his op-
ponent tomorrow or next day.
The simplest form Of gambling is playing your op-
timism against the immutable law OF averages. Sup
pose Jones and Smith bet even money on the flip OF
a coin. The proceeding is absurd on its face, for it
is absolutely known beforehand that a fairly tossed
coin will land heads up half Of the time and tails IN
the other half. Provided. Of course, that 1t is tossed
often enough. The chances are exactly equally divid-
ed Upon what, then, does Jones base his belief that
he may win more often than Smith? Why. upon a
primitive superstition that tells him that he is a bet
ter man than Smith, and that therefore his luck will be
betteri Smith is intoxicated with the same feeling of
superiority over Jones. and thinks tina of course luek
will favor the better man.
When gambling gets a little more complicated than
that. each bettor thinks he knows something about
gambling that IS unknown TO all the others. This
thought, too, is based upon childish superstitions.

THE MERCHANT MARINES FUTURE

Mr.. Coolidge's desire 10 sell the ships Of the mer-
chant marine is based on sound considerations. He
wants TO get the government out Of the shipping busi-
ness. Although it is reported that a majority Of con-
gress Is opposed to the Coolidge policy. there is gen
erai acceptance Of the idea that the government should
no. own and operate the merchant fleet any longer
than IA necessary. The objective all along has been
20 transfer the merchant fleet TO private ownership as
soon as practicable and when terms could be made with
private ship owners that viii assure the maintenance
OF established trade routes, and an adequate merchant
marine TO supplement the navy.
Possibly nine out Of 10 real Americans who have
~svsr any thought 70 this matter would like 70 see the

retire from the shipping business. But nine out OF 10
