HOURLY TEMPERATURES
By United Press

BU United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Proceeding
on the theory that into each life
some mud must fall, counsel for
Edward West Browning announced
today that 100 witnesses had been
subpoenaed to blackwash the blonde,
Frances Peaches) Heenan Browning
when trial of their separation suit
is resumed Monday at White Plains.
But the entire 100 won't Be
called to testify" siad Francis C.
Dale, one of the Browning attorneys.
"Only about twenty, including Mr..
Browning himself. Our witnesses
not only will prove that our client
was misrepresented by his wife and
mother-in-law, but will establish
that Peaches married him for his
money"
The charge az lddigging is one
of the major counts in Browning's
case, Dale said. He promised to re-
veal that the 16-year-old wife was
a "forty-niner, who looked upon her
husband as promising pay dirt"
One of those close to the princi-
pals who will not be called is WI
liam Heenan, automobile salesman Of
Hampstead, L. l., and father OF
Browning's bride. Since 1918 Hee,
nan and his own wife have been
divorced.

COOLIDGE STANDS PAT
Refuses to Consider More Liberal
Chinese Policy.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Pres-
sure for a more liberal policy to-
ward China failed to move the Ad-
ministration today.
Despite the cool reception in
Peking of Secretary of State
Kellogg's statement Of policy, and
demands of the Chinese minister
here for unconditional termination
of all unequal treaties" President
Coolidge is unwilling to go farther
in meeting the Chinese Nationalists.
He is however, ready to discuss
Chinese tariff autonomy and con-
ditional gradual abolition Of foreign
extraterritoriality when the warning
factions agree on delegates.
At the same time the Presidents
attitude has stiffened regarding pro-
lection Of American lives and
property in Shanghai. He has fatty
rejected requests Of Senator Borah
and others for evacuation of the 1000
Americans from that city. He ex-
poets native Shanghai authorities to
prevent anti-American riots and he
is prepared to use the twenty-five
American war vessels and marines In
those waters to supplement such
protection if necessary, according to
the White House.
Withdrawal of Americans from
China would unjustly deprive them
of legal property and pursuits and
would injure China, which is depend
ent upon foreign commercial in
stitutions at Shanghai and else
where, in the Presidents opinion.

FUSS ENDS WITH
JUDGE E'SLEAV|NG

BIZ United Press
SYDNEY, Jan. 29.-During a re-
cent sitting of the high court of Aus
tralia, the supreme judicial body in
this country, in Melbourne, a judge
walked off the bench. following dis
agreement with another judge. The
matter being heard was an appeal
from the decision of a state court
concerning the eviction of a Chinese
gardener from leased land, which
was used by the Chinese for growing
tomatoes.
Justice Higgins asked a question
concerning the length of time it took
tomatoes to ripen when Justice
Starke interposed that the subject of
the question was elementary and
was delaying the business of the
court. Higgins again asked the
question, and Starke Immediately OBJ
jected. Higgins once more asked the
question, but Starfke again objected.
Thereupon Higgins rose from his
seat and left the court.
Immediately the chief Justice. Sir
Adrian Knox, consulted with his col
leagues and adjourned court. Next
day the court resumed, without any
mention of the incident, which has
apparently settled behind closed
doors. Legal experts here declare
that such an incident is unpre-
cedented in the Australian high
court.

SHANGHAI, n. 29.-The Canton
ese armies today were pushing
toward Hangchow, strategic point in
their northward march upon Shang-
hal, and the lines Of Marshal Sun
Chuan-Fang, defender of the great
trade port, were being drawn for
the decisive battle.
Fearful that Marshal Suns
forces, believed to be inferior nu-
merically and in equipment to the
invaders, will crumble before the as
sault that will determine Shanghai's
fate, foreigners were making prepa-
rations for a hasty exodus from the
capital.
The main body Of the Cantonese
is now 100 miles south of Hangchow,
but an advance point has been es-
tablished at Chuchow, further
north Two divisions of troops, far
ahead of the main body, have al
ready menaced the advance posts of
the defending armies.
Confident of victory, the Cantonese
have made preparations for a tri-
umphal march into the Shanghai,

safety. Marshal Sun, representative

ATTACK ON JEWS
Republican Leaders in
House Assert Desire to
Avoid Religious Tilt.
Times WdshinGtOB BHreGR,


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Repub-
lican leaders of the House will not
permit consideration of the resolu-
ton of Representative Sol Bloom of
New York, to appoint a committee
to investigate charges made by
Henry Ford against Jewish bankers.
Ford alleged in a statement that
"the international Jew is in direct
control of all financial centers of
Government, including the Federal
reserve system"
Bloom in his resolution contended
that this statement, ''if true, pre-
sents grave charges concerning the
operation of Government, the ac-
tivities of the Federal reserve sys.
TEN and the Jewish people"
House leaders say they do not take
Ford's charges seriously.
But" they informed Bloom, ''if
such an investigation is authorized
the charges Immediately are digni-
fled by attention from the Federal
Government, and the House of Rep
resentatives will become the scene of
a violent religious debate"
There are ten members of Con-
gress of the Jewish faith. They are
divided on the question of taking no.
tce of the Ford allegation. Accord.
ing to Mrs. Julius Kahn of San Fran
cisco, who succeeded her husband
after he had served a quarter of a
century, 'the best thing to do is to
ignore such charges, which on their
face are SO palpably false and abb
surd."
Investigation disclosed there is not
Jew connected with the Federal
reserve board in Washington, as a
member or executive official. Among
the officials and directors of the
twelve Federal reserve banks there
are only two persons known to be of
the Jewish faith.

Holds Child From Window
Until Firemen Stage
Ladder Rescue.

Trapped by smoke in the second
story Of her home at S08 N. Belle
Vieu Pl., Mrs. Alice Richardson,
%, saved her 2,year.old son, Jack,
from suffocation early today by
holding the child from a window
While she screamed for help.
Firemen carried the nearly.sl-
focated mother and baby down a..
ladder when they arrived.
The fire broke out in the living
room of the Richardson's part of the
double house in which they live
shortly after midnight.
Alone In Home
Mrs. Richardson was alone with
her baby. The husband, Jack NJ.
Richardson, is employed at night at
Kingan's packing plant.
Shortly after midnight, she said,
she fixed the fire in a stove in the
living room.
At 2 a. m. she was awakened by
a dense cloud of smoke in her bed
room on the second floor. She picked
up the baby, in bed with her, and
unsuccessfully attempted to open a
window in the bedroom.
Heat from the stove had fired fur
niture in the living room and the
entire house was filed with heavy
smoke from burning wood and
leather.
Fighting her way to the bathroom
she succeeded in opening a window.
For fifteen minutes she alternated
between holding the child out of the
window and leaning out herself as
she screamed for help.
Firemen Called
Mr.. and Mrs e. II. Green, in the
other half of the double house. heard
her screams and called the fire de-
partment. Residents on Addison St,
back of the house, hearing the
screams, believed a woman was be-
ing attacked in the alley and called
police.
Firemen found the front door
locked on the inside and were forced
to break open window to enter and
extinguish the flames.
Mrs. Richardson's blonde hair was
black and her face covered with
CRIME when Firemen David Sprin-
kle, James Quarters and William
Ginger, all of Engine House IS,
carried her and the baby, still in
their night clothes, down a ladder
and took them to the Green home,
where they were revived.
Furniture Destroyed
A player plano and a davenport
were destroyed and all the contents
of the living room in the Richard
son home charred. Damage was esti-
mated at $1,000 by Mrs. Richardson.
The loss is covered by insurance.
1T seemed as if 1 held my baby
out the window for an age," Mrs.
Richardson said.
Neighbors estimated it was fifteen
minutes.
