EXPLANATION
OF JAPSTAND
Copies of Statements
Relative to Sending
Troops to China In
Officials Hands

GENEVA, May 15.-CPl-Japan has
officially sent to the League Of Ma
tions two documents outlining why
Japanese troops we're sent to Shang-
tung, China.
The document received today came
from NJ. Sato, Japanese minister in
Paris who directs Japanese activi.
ties at the League OF Nations. In
covering letter, Sato explained to
Sir Eric Drummond, the league sec
retsry. that at the time Of the Shang-
tung trouble the Japanese foreign
minister made two declarations ex-
planning the reasons which led Japan
to take action. Hence. Sato said. he
desired to transmit these 70 the
League Of Nations for its informa-
tion.
The Importance of Sato's COM
munication with its enclosures is
felt here to lie in the fact that
Japan has now officially recognized
that the league is entitled to re-
ceive explanations in the matter. The
foreign minister's declarations en-
closed included the statement made
on April 20 explaining the necessity
Of dispatching 5000 troops to Shang-
tung but emphasizing that this
should in no wise be interpreted as
an act inimicable to the Chinese
Another document was the govern
mental declaration Of May 9 stating
that the situation in the district OF
Tsinan had so increased IN gravity
that the existing japanese forces
there were deemed insufficient fol-
the protection of Japanese residents
Of Shangtung, the railway having
been destroyed at several places
making the maintenance Of communi
cation between Tsinan and Tsintac
impossible.
This declaration continues by an
nouncing the dispatch Of an army d.
vision 70 Shangtung, five othel
companies 70 Tientsin and the deci
sion 70 send an additional number
Of cruisers and destroyers TO China
and stating that the sole purpose
of these movements was for the pro.
lection of Japanese lives and prop
erty and that these forces would >,
withdrawn as the occasion permits.

ROBBERY seen
AS MOTIVE In
Twin KILLING
Victims Were Beaten
To Death; Found By
Nephew z Days AZ
ter Crime

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 15.-tP)-
The bodies of two aged women, beat
en- to death as they lay in bed, where
discovered today at their cottage
home on Maple street. A trunk had
been pried open and officers advanced
the theory that robbery had been the
motive. The dead are Mrs. Belle
Holmes, 20, and Miss Kate Satter-
white, 72.
DR.. Roy L. Carter, coroner, said the
condition Of the bodies indicated the
two women were slain Sunday night.
Neighbors saw them last on Sunday
evening when they attended church
services at a nearby chapel. Post
mortem examinations will be conduct
ed.
The two women lived by themselves
The bodies were discovered by
Clarence b. Stephens, a nephew
about 40 years old. He was question
ed by police but not taken into Gus
tody.
Stephens told the officers that his
mother, Mrs. Ella Stephens, a sister
of the slain women, had been i'll for
some time and that il had been his
custom to call by the home of his
aunts each morning and drive Mrs.
Holmes to his house to attend her.
On Monday morning, he said, he had
found the door locked and had
thought that his two aunts had gone
to church. This morning, however,
when he again was unable to gain ad-
mittance he became suspicious and
broke into the house.
The bodies Of the women were
found in separate beds, both badly
beaten about the head and face.
A broken glass in a rear room of
the house added weight TO the rob-
berry theory. The women were not
wealthy but relatives explained the
fact that they had lived together for
some time without working might
have given rise to the belief that
they had considerable means. Mrs.
Holmes received a pension of $50
monthly as q widow of a union vet
eran Of the Civil war. An automobile
tire tool, stained with what was be-
lieved TO be blood, hammer, an axe
and several other heavy instruments
were found in the house.
After discovering the bodies,
Stephens drove to the home of an
uncle, Harry Satterwhite, on South
Brook street, and together the two
men notified the police.

Aid MEASURE
BECOMESLAW
Bill Signed BY Presi-
dent Ends First Of
Three Major Prob
lens In Congress

WASHINGTON, May 15-CRp-Pres-
ident Coolidge today signed the Mis-
sissippi river flood control bill.
BY affixing his signature to the
measure, Mr.. Coolidge placed upon
the statute books mn act which en-
barks the federal government upon
the tremendous task of curbing the
flod waters of the Mississippi-prob-
ably one Of the greatest engineering
undertakings ever attempted in his
tory.
The same stroke OF the presidents
pen also completed the first Of what
are regarded as the three major prob
lens up TO the present congress. The
other two, farm relief and tax redue-
tion, still are pending in legislative
form at the capitol.
The new flood control law was
framed jointly by Senator Jones,
chairman Of the senate commerce
committee and Chairman Reid of the
house flood control committee and
calls for the expenditure by the fed
eral treasury OF $325, 100000.
The engineering plan for the work
proposes the strengthening Of the
levees along the Mississippi river and
the building Of three floodways and
a spillway at outlets to carry off
from the main stream the excess
flood waters into the Gulf Of Mexico.
Upon the federal government il
placed the entire expense Of the flood
control work with the exception or
the furnishing of the levee founda-
tions on the main river to be borne
by the Mississippi Valley states; but
this cost TO the states Is estimated
only mt about $5OO,000.

using both airplanes and railway
trains, which il is hoped will even
tually link New York and the Pa

Colonel Charles "A. Lindbergh, ap-

with a commercial project but said
he was interested in all programs
that would aid aviation.
The plans call for the eastern

Pennsylvania railroad. Overtures
have been made to .he Goeing Air

The new service will be controlled
