Chicago, Oct. B CP-A federal dry agent, Thomas Ryan, was shot down in a federal court room yes- terday in the presence of 40 per- sons, yet who shot him. or why, re- mained a mystery.
 Ryan himself thought for a sec ond it was a joke: that someone had exploded a firecracker in the small room in which United States Con- missioner Edwin Walker was hold ing court. Then he felt the bullet, which struck him in the shoulder, cried I'm shot," and slumped to

the floor. He was seriously. though not fatally wounded.
 In the moment of excitement that followed. at least six men left the court room. Then the doors were locked.
 No assailant could be found. It was . bullet from a 25 calibre auto matic that had wounded Ryan. but no such weapon. nor even an empty cartridge of any sort was found among officials and spectators. The suggestion was later made that the bullet could have been fired from . fountain pen" gun, but no search for such a weapon was made.
 Shot Fired #....
 Ryan had risen from his chair to be sworn as a witness in a liquor hearing when the shot was fired.
 It was established that the shot could not have been fired from out side the room. The investigation was followed by a reenactment of the court room scene. and gave rise to the theory that the wounding of Ryan might have been a mistake. Some thought that Policeman Mi- chael Shannon. who was to have been the next witness. was the in- tender victim.
 District Attorney George Johnson called it a "cold blooded attempt at murder" and ruled out the belief that the shooting was a mistake or accidental.
 It was recalled that Policeman shannon had killed Olivio Colombo in a raid on October II.
 Nick Beemsterboer was arrested in connection with the raid, and 1t was during a hearing of his case that Ryan was shot. Most of the police present. however. were in- clined to doubt the theory that the bullet was meant for Shannon.
 Dismantlcs Stills
 The bullet taking an upward course entered his back. was de- fected by a rib and lodged in his right shoulder.
 Ryan said he knew of no enemies he might have. He was 55 years old, and has specialized in dis mantling stills for the federal prohi- bition squad.

Selective Emigration
Favored bv Japanese

If the view of one Japanese ofacial
represents the policy Of the government
respecting emigration of its great sur
plus population, Japan would deem it
vital to maintain strong ties, spiritual
as well as commercial, with the. trans
planted group of Nipponese., -Overpcp-
ulation is vexing the japanese authori-
ties and experts see only emigration In
great numbers as the solution. But,
more important than even large scale
departures. according to that same of
ficial. is the benefits to be expected
by Japan.
We are endeavoring to send out a
certain class of people who will be
capable of cultivating japanese markets
and supplying raw materials for the
people back home" says JitsuEo Ka-
wanishi, vocational director of the home
ministry. The emigration of a few,
well equipped with capital. well trained
and verSed in the conditions they will
face abroad and in good physical con-
dition, will be of much more value than
the indiScriminate dispatch of great
hordes."
While emigration is being encouraged
notably to Brazil), Kawanishi believes
this cannot solve the problem. He
says: Social workers often dwell upon
the seriousness of the population prob
lem as they compare the numbers of
emigrants with the annual increase of
population. It Is true that the increase
OF population gives the government no
little worry. but statistics are likely to
be misused by social workers and

l. LENBY of Jerusalem. What
romance there is in that name
i And as the. years roll on 1t will
loom larger and larger in the
pages of history. For where Occur de
Lion failed, Allenby succeeded. Many
Americans have long hoped for the
opportunity to see the liberator of the
Holy Land, and at last he has come to
our shores. 1t is fortunate. too, that
his visit is at a time when wave Of
renewed interest in the World War is
sweeping over America.
Ten years ago the so-called "side
show" in the Holy Land received scant
attention, for our eyes were focused on
the titanic events under the main tent
in France. But, as one looks back upon
it, that sweeping campaign in Bible
lands stands forth as the most spec
tacular and fascinating phase of the
whole conflict. For with Allenby's con-
quest of Palestine the dream of a thou
