Bandit So Flustered by Din of Women,
Ordered Silent, He Misses Most of Loot

Eleventh street when the bandit, a
colored man, entered.
As he stepped through the window, he
ordered the assembled women to remain
seated and keep quiet. They diSobeyed
orders to the extent that they neither
remained seated nor kept quiet. Chairs
and tables went over in hasty exit.
SO excited was the bandit by this turn
of affairs that he grabbed a basket, con-
tanning a trifie more than $3.50, and left
S700 lying stacked in plain view on a
table on the platform In his haste he
dropped one OF his pistols.
Chinese economic and financial recon-
struction.
Both the Chinese and japanese men,
bers OF the Council, as we'll as any men,
Der of the League, possess the right to
bring the conflict 10 the attention of
the League as a matter threatening
peace, but no action is possible unless
some state takes the initiative. Momen-
tarily the League, like the powers. rec
ognizes the Peking government, and pre-
sumably Cheng Lob will not appeal 10
the League against Japan unless he re-
ceives a direct mandate from his gov
ernment in Peking
1t is recalled that British initiative
In the Aalands Islands dispute between
Finland and Sweden established a prece-
dent which might be followed In the
case of China. Great Britain called
this dispute to the attention of the
Council as one threatening good relations.
and eventually the conflict was settled
by handing over the islands to Finland,
but with demilitarization, which had
been favored by Sweden, and with the
passage OF laws protecting Swedish
minorities.
Conflict Worries League.
The Chinese Japanese conflict Is re-
garded in Geneva as cutting straight
across the Kellogg outiawry OF war
proposal. 1t is being asked whether
under the suggested American pact ma
tions would have the right TO dispatch
armed forces 10 protect their national
interests under the plea that 1t was not
aggression, but defense.
It is understood here that this point
is worrying the British In connection
with the Kellogg proposal. as while the
British are willing To Danish armed
conflict between sovereign responsible
states, they interpret certain military
Initiatives as essential TO the safe
guarding OF world peace.
Many League observers hope that the
Chinese situation will be brought up In
the Council, believing that self-deny-
ing ordinance OF the great powers with
A Remuneration OF ideas OF conquest,
publicly expressed, will reassure the
Chinese millions and lead 10 peace
pourparlers Between the Chinese and
Japanese.

Harris Attack
Draws a Reply

To The Herald:
! notice in Fridays Herald that
Senator Harris. of Georgia. has in
troduced an immigration bill 90 put
Mexico IN the quota basis 70 exclude
their citizens the same rs from Euro
pean countries across the seas. Tic
states that the Mexican ~ the least
dcs able ~ any country In the West
ern hemisphere. This statement
shows him 10 be ignorant of the
facts and displays prejudice. We
who have lived among these gentle
and courteous people should resent
such a statement. re IA unjust. nm
true. and shows a great lack Of cour-
teSy. refinement, and ~ interest IN
the country as q whole.
or course, we know that many labor
unions arc behind this bill. but !
am sure they are very shortsighted
in this particular instance. All south
west Texas and the border depend
wholly upon our Mexican laborers.
Without them our production would
hc greatly reduced and since the pro
ducts from the farm end ranch arc
foundations Of prosperity. producing
the wealth that makes il possible for
their labor unions TO obtain jobs on
railroads. automobile plants. mills,
and all manufacturing industries, and
IN fact. brings about prosperity and
activity in all business lines.
believe We should come together
here and resent Mr.. Harris insult
to our loyal. Industrious Mexican
citizens.
