Clashes Take Place at Two
Widely Separated Scenes
on Border.
DENY INVASION PLANS
Soviet Officials Declare No
Forces viii Be Moved
Over Line.
By United Press

lightning flashed from the
war clouds overhangiug Russia
and China today and the troops
.of the opposing forces, massed
on each side of the Manchurian
border at two widely separated
points, engaged in brisk clash
es, according to word from the
east today.
Press reports received in Toxic
indicated that the Russian forces
had taken the offensive at Man
chuli on the northwest border be-
tween Manchuria and Siberia and
near the eastern terminal of the
Chinese Eastern railway at Pogra-
nitchaya.
These partially we're supported by
travellers reports at Harbin that
they had heard heavy cannonading
near Pogranitchaya and semi-offi-
cilly confirmed by announcement of
Chinese authorities in Harbin.
Chinese officials said that cavalry
and field guns had been brought
into play in a crash occasioned by
a raid of Russian troops against
combined Chinese and White Rus
sian border patrols under Pogra-
nitchaya.
Warships on Way
Other reports said Russian war
ships were approaching San-Fen-
Ho, twenty miles south of Pogra-
nitchaya in the sea of Japan, and
that the Chinese were laying mines
in the channel.
The japanese cabinet today held
an urgently called meeting to dis
cuSS the situation in Manchuria,
where Japan has great commercial
interests. No statement was issued
regarding the cabinets deliberations.
Meanwhile, Jan Rudzutak, soviet
commissar of transportation and a
high official of the all-powerful po-
litical bureau of the Communist
party, told American newspaper men
that until the Chinese force at
tackled across the border not a So
Wet soldier would set foot in Chi
nese territory, and that the soviet's
chief concern was to guard against
the White Russian (cZarist0 forces
now maSsed in China seizing upon
the opportunity to strike at the
soviet.
China Still Unworried
The Chinese capital remained
quiet and officials seemed unper-
turbed at the situation while Mos
cows populace still rumbled in
patriotic indignation against the
Chinese seizure of the Chinese
eastern railway. formerly jointly
held by the soviet and China, and
the expulsion of all soviet officials
and employees of the road.
In Europe, Aristide BRAND for
eign minister Of France, sought to
assume the role of peacemaker BY
visiting personally the ambassadors
in Paris of Russia and China ana
urging them to use every effort 20
avoid war.
He called attention to the fact
that the Japanese ambassador at
Paris is the League of Nations
councils president and that the
League is anxious to lend its good
Offices

"a, of 245 West Thirty eighth street,
insurance salesman, the finding OF
bottle Of liquor is his car.
The state was scheduled to rest
it's case in criminal court late today.
The defense was to open its
testimony Saturday with an attack
on the varied accounts told by
states witnesses of the tragedy on
New Years eve, when Kos car
struck and killed Carl Fulkerson and
william R. Osborne, traction en-
ployes, at Linwood and washington
streets.
Begged for Destruction

to police headquarters following the
accident, was introduced by t he
state through Otis Denny, 702 Con-
greSs street, supervisor for the In
dianapolis Street Railway Com
pany.
Denny said Kos urged the de-
struction of the liquor with the
words, "this evidence means nothing
to you, but it means lot to me;
why not throw it away?"
Tells of Finding Bottle
Lieutenant Frank Owen and Pa
trolmen Charles Powers reiterated
Denny's testimony this afternoon
Powers told of finding the bottle OF
alleged liquor in the car.
j. R. Dinwoody, city chemist,
testified to the alcoholic content of

LIQUOR, NOT
MALT, BASIS
OF DRY RAID
Beer Making Materials
Seized Only After Whisky
Is Found.

The shiver that ran down malt
dealers backs when federal agents
confiscated malt and home brew
supplies in q raid on the Ideal gro
Gerry and malt store, SOC West WASH
ington street, late Thursday, was al
layed today when George R. Jeffrey
district attorney, explained the malt
was not taken until after liquor
was found. =.
No test case on the sale Of malt
was contemplated in the seizure nor
will be involved in the trial OF the
two men who were arrested on
charges of selling liquor and oper-
ating a nuisance, Jeffrey said.
John Ciaraioau, of 204 Blacktord
street the proprietor, and Floreo
Crauciunoui, of 27O2 West Sixteenth
street, clerk, arrested in the raid,
we're held to the federal grand jury
under $4,000 bond each when given
a hearing today before Fac w. Pat
rick, United States commissioner
They provided bond at once.
F1rSL STOCK SelLuIc
Three federal agents and police
squad staged the raid, the first in
which a store stock Of malt was
seized here. Under a meat cutter
they found half pint OF white
moonshine, they said, and under
a cheese they found bottle con-
tanning "red whisky"
Searching the shelves they conf1s-
Gated forty-two quarts of wine and
cordials in dust covered bottles,
some bearing labels claiming from
s to 10 per cent alcoholic content.
Tests showed the contents to run
as high as 80 per cent.
They then conf1scated three truck
laads of malt, bottles, corks, caps,
cappers. hose and other brewing and
bottling paraphernalia, and stored
the lot in the basement OF the fed
eral building.
Agents Bought Liquor
Agents had bought alleged whisky
at the place, and it's an out and
out liquor sale" Jeffrey said today
"I DO not know what charge the
grand Jury may prefer against these
men. If the jury merely returns an
indictment on sale and nuisance 1t
is possible the malt and other equip
ment would be returned. But If 1t
is shown in court that liquor was
manufactured on the premises, we
may be able to keep the stuff"
James G. Browning acting deputy
prohibition administrator said: "This
ought to be a test case to see
whether or not they can sell
malt and other equipment for max
ing beer in a place where liquor is
sold"
Malt Stores Unaffected
"This will not affect any store
selling malt where liquor is not
sold. as I see it" said Jeffry.
Paddock proceedings against two
residences where liquor is alleged tc
have been sold were instituted in
federal court today by Jeffrey.
One is the residence occupied by
Joe Cohen at S13 Maple street, and
the other a residence at 6803 Fergu-
son street, occupied, according to the
petition, by william R. Mix and
Daisy Maple, and owned by Mrs
John Kuechler, 3349 College avenue
