NEW YORK, Jan. 14.--"she has
been very cruel to me-" the man
whom Lita Grey Chaplin is accusing
OF infidelity. cruelty and dozens Of
other startling abuses, sat in his
drawing room on this train early to-
day, and. as he idly Tipped a deck
of cards In game Of solitaire
talked to me for over two hours.

That's why say she's cruel

He pushed the cards away from

Isadora was not divorced. Sophia

INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION PROPOSED
BY CANTONESE FOREIGN MINISTER TO
INVESTIGATE The NANKINC INCIDENT
Eugene Chen Replies 10 Re-
cent Five-power Note De-
manding Reparations and
Apologies For Outrages
Which Followed Capture Of
Yangtze City BY Cantonese
Troops

Hankow, April lo.-CP) An inter
national commission to investigate
the Marking incident is proposed
by Eugene Chen. the Cantonese for
elgn minister, in his replies to the
recent fiye-power note demanding
rcparations and apologies Tor Che
outrages which followed the capture
Of the Yangtze city by the Cantonese
army. The replies were handed to
the consuls Of the five powers--thc
United States, Great Britain, France,
Japan and ltaly-last night.
While not admitting that national
ist troops were responsible for the
Marking outrages, Chen emphasizes
that such incidents will occur us long
as unequal treaties exist.
In the reply to the United States,
he says the Cantonese government
will make reparation for all damage
done to the American consulate al
Marking and that as for personal in
Juries to Americans it is ready to
make "all reasonable necessary rep
aration' except where there is abso-
lutte proof that the injuries were
caused by the British and AMERICAN
naval bombardment," or by the "nor-
thern rebels"
His Reply to the L. 5.
The reply to the United States says
that:
1.-THE nationalist government. as the
responsible governing body, does not
countenance the use Of any form Of
violence or agitation against foreign
lives and property. Indeed, the pro-
lection of foreign lives and property y
has been repeatedly. declared set
tied policy of the nationalist govern
ment. The proper authorities Of the
Nationalist army will. of course, be
instructed to give not only writ.
ten undertaking in this sense. but tC
see that effective measures are taken
to afford proper protection for for
eign lives and property.
The nationalist government, how.
ever, would be lacking in candor il
it failed to regard and emphasize tha,
the best guarantees for the effective
protection of American and other for
eign lives and property lies in re.
moval of the fundamental cause OF
the present trouble between nation
alist China and the powers, who con-
tinue to sustain the unequal treaties
Treaties Cause Chief Danger
ut is these inequitable treaties
which constitute the chief danger to
foreign lives and property in China
and the danger will persist a. long

OPEN SEASON
ON DEER BEING
CONSIDERED
Game and Fish Board Ma,
Recommend Same to Gov
ernor Following Survey

North Dakota nimrods may have
an opportunity to hunt deer in their
native state if plans considered by
the state game and fish commission
at q recent meeting here are carrie |
out.
The idea is to declare short open
season on deer in those sections of
the state where thoy are especially
numerous, issue a special hunting
license at fee Of $40 or SIS each
and limit the hunters to one deer
each.
The plan was made possible by a
law passed at the last Legislative scs-
sion which gives the governor. the
right to open or close seasons on
game upon recommendation of the
fish and game commission. The law
virtually makes the governor and
fish and game board the arbitcrs Of
all matters relating to hunting.
Similar laws in other states have
operated to maintain a nice adjust
mcnt between the game supply and
the demands Of hunters and have
enabled state officials to keep certain
species of game from almost total
destruction during certain seasons.
Legislators here felt it would be
wise to adopt the same system.
Survey Is Planned
Whether an open season is de-
clared on deer will depend on sur
vcy to be made this spring by the
game wardens. If deer are found to
be as plentiful As reported, the action
will be taken.
The area opened to deer hunters
probably will be that portion of the
state lying west Of the Missouri river
and parts of counties bordering the
river on the east. Farmers in these
districts say that deer are SO plenti-
full that they are damaging their
crops. One report received by the
fish and game commission was that
II deer were seen in one herd last
week in Williams county.
II an open season on deer is de-
clared, members Of the commission
made it plain, every game warden in
the state will be concentrated in the
open area during the season to pre-
vent violations of the regulations
which would be prescribed by the
governor upon recommendation Of
the commission. Final decision in
the matter probably will be made in
the fall.
