In line with the general hysteria
being developed to prepare the
ground for intervention in China, a
story was released today by the
State Department at Washington,
relating the murder of three Amer
lean catholic missionaries.
According to a dispatch received
from F. P. Lockhart, American con-
sui general at Hankow, thirty ban
dit soldiers seized the three mis-
sionaries near Chenki, China. The
trio were marched to a deserted
mine pit and shot, their bodies being
thrown into the pit. Servants who
had accompanied the missionaries
were released and returned to
Chenki.
Two days later the bodies were
recovered by some other mission
aries who marched to the scene of
the execution with 80 soldiers. That
the execution was not carried out
by wanton murderers is indicated in
the release of the servants. Lock
hart reported that the motive for
the execution is thus far unknown.

Air War Maneuvers to Work Up Hysteria for

WASHINGTON, May 6.-"Each
year problems have been solved and
new difficulties overcome when en-
countered," the war department de-
clared yesterday in commenting APP
rrovingly on new developments in
aerial warfare. The military adj
visers referred to the use of the
radio in aircraft, which will be dem
onstrated. at the joint Air Corps and
ground maneuvers of the army at
Wright Field, neor Dayton, and at

"The capabilities of radio in air.

VOTE CLOSE ON
FAKE farm BILL |.
Tariff Bill, Whitewash
for Mellon Ready

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The
possibility that the debenture plan
of fake farm "relief," opposed by
President Hoover, who thinks the
farm board stunt will fool the agri-
culturists sufficiently, might pass
the senate by one or two vote
margin was increased today as the
senate entered an agreement to limit
debates Wednesday, with a view to
voting Thursday.
The lineup had been At to 45 in
Hoover's favor, and against the de-
bcnture or tariff bounty project, but
it was learned reliably that Senator
David I. Walsh, democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, had indicated he would
pair with the absent Senator Ship
stead, of Minnesota, who was sworn
in at Baltimore hospital Saturday.
One Vote Doubtful.
This would prevent Walsh from
voting and make the lineup a tie,
46 to &c, but does not take into ac-
count the absence of Senator Ken
drick, democrat, Wyoming. or the
vote Of Senator Broussard, demo-
crat, who is listed as the only doubt
full senator.
If tie should develop, Hoover
could expect to win, because it is
reported Vice-President Curtis would
vote against the debenture plan.
Curtis can vote only if the totals
show tie. His friends say he
would be anxious to show his al
legiance TO Hoover by casting the
deciding vote against the debenture
plan.
Secret Tariff Bill.
An 85,000-word tariff bill, sur
rounded by secrecy such as was
never maintained before about a
mater of this Importance will be
brought up in the house tomorrow
about noon by Chairman Hawley of
the ways and means committee.
The measure is the result of COM
promises and a check imposed on
the committee by President Hoover
for only ''limited revision" About
a third of the rates have been
changed in the Fordney McCumber
act of 1922, the last tariff act.
Whitewash Mellon.
The Steiwer report, saying Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon is le-
gally holding his office, was made
the majority report of the senate
judiciary committee today, when
Senator Stephens, democrat, of Mis-
sissippi, voted for it by wire.
The count now stands 9 to 7 in
favor of the report, which will be
presented the senate tomorrow.
Mellon is holding ownership OF
various trusts, in fragrant disregard
of even the capitalist law, and has
given huge sums to some of them
from the United States treasury I'M
DER the form of tax refunds, but as
he is one of the rulers of the coun.
try, and dominates the industrial
state of Pennsylvania, it is not ex.
pected there will be much trouble
for him in the senate.
