REDS URGENCY
Mass Arrests And
Beatings, Moves of
White Russians Are
New Developments |

MOSCOW. July 26.-tP)-Appre-
hension existed here today that
continued provocative acts BY
Chinese authorities in Manchuria
might force the Soviet army to en-
ter that province to rescue Russian
citizens there.
Disturbing reports Of continued
atrocities have arrived here, lmpll-
eating both Chinese officials and
white Russians along the length OF
the Chinese eastern railway, seized
recently by the Manchurian gov
ernment from its Russian manage
ment.
The reports said mass arrests,
beatings, and torturing Of Soviet
citizens had become daily occur
renee with police raiding all habita-
tions along the railway and inflict-
ing severe punishment on Russian
laborers who had not reported for
work since the break in diplomatic
relations.
Forty Russians were arrested at
Pogranichnaya, it was said, and
taken in chains without food to
Harbin. In all several hundred
Russians have been arrested and
those still free we're represented as.
trying desperately to return to Sow
let territory.
Alleged white Russian activities
particularly perturbed the Soviet
officials. Armed white Russian
bands were said to have crossed the
border and it was feared armed
clashes might occur at any moment.
The official TasS agency stated
Soviet customs officers at Blago-
veschensk discovered a quantity Of
arms and other contraband in the
baggage Of the staff Of the Chin
ese consulate prior to their depar-
ture for Manchuria after the diplo-
matte rupture. AAe-a
Some of the baggage marked

have contained 42 rifles, a large
quantity of cartridges, about ten
pounds Of gold dust, and 20 pounds
of silver bullion, The contraband
was confiscated.

peremptory challenges out of the
way.
Mrs. Grace Rogers was excused
promptly by the defense at the
start today. John F. Seidel, defense
counsel, asked her if it we're not a
fact that she had expressed a wish
to get on the jury and had said she
would hold out to the last" against
DR.. Shook. Mrs. Rogers denied
making such statement.
Prosecutors Of DR.. James H.

fense in his trial for the Staying of
his coed mistress, Theora Hix, Is,
today in the outlined attempt to
prove that the couple used mar
cotics, and that the former Ohio
State university professor was un-
der the influence of exciting po-
tionS at the time of the Staying.
John F. Seidel, defense attorney,
indicated as much in questioning
prospective jurors after he and
Prosecutor John r. Chester, Jr., had
accepted a tentative jury and be-
gan use of peremptory challenges.
Each tentative juror was asked
specifically whether knowledge that
Shook and the girl used narcotics
would influence the verdict. Four
women members were queries con-
corning their knowledge of baking.
and Seidel indicated later the de-
tense would be the girl first gave
narcotics in food and that later the
two deliberately experimental with
their effects.
Invariably Seidel asked what ef-
feet testimony that Shook was un-
der the influence Of these potions
on the night he confessed killing
the girl would cause. All Of the
jurors answered the knowledge
would not influence them in reach
ing a verdict
Eleven tentative jurors occupied
the box today, with 18 peremptory
challenges remaining, fifteen to the
defense.

Lawyer Refuses To
Seek Missing Mate

SAN ANTONIO, July nj.-(F1--
Not every deserting husband IS
sought by the law, even though
wife abandonment now is felony
in Texas.
Sometimes there are mitigating
circumstances.
This week one deserted wife
came to the office of Fred N. Cow
en-, assistant district attorney in
charge Of wife and child abandon
ment cases, and sought to have the
law chastise her lost husband.
After she haF talked for many
minutes without Cowen having a
chance to stop her, she finally
stopped to catch her breath and he
got in his first words.
Madame, if you were just half as
disagreeable to your husband as
you have been ~ here, I don't
blame him for 'eaving," he said
And the law refused to take any
action in the matter.
"She had enough money to get
along on, ard the only way she
could have sworn out charges
against him would have been false
ly," he explained.
