THOUSANDS SLAIN
AS BANDITS RAID
CHINESE PROVINCE

SHANGHAI, China, May 9. W.R)
A great horde of bandits devast-
ated the Yung-Yang district in
Honan province and slaughtered
thousands of residents, according
to delayed advices received today.
The newspaper Sin Wan Pao said
that approximately $4,000 persons
were killed by the raiding outlaws.
- The bandits swarmed through the
district for four days, starting
April 90. Killing without mercy
they slaughtered women and child
rem and pillaged their homes, the
advices said.
The raid was the worst of many
reported in recent months.
Honan province and other inter
iOr regions have been the prey of
watering bandit hordes for more
than year. Lack of food has
forced many persons to join the
bandits, and they have swarmed
over some interior regions like
wandering armies, well armed and
ruthless.
There were between 5000 and
1000 bandits in the band.
After three days of pillage the
bandits rounded up 500 prisoners,
forced them to shoulder the loot
and marched them off to be held
for ransom.

EXTORTI0N CASE
JURY LECTURED
FOR MESSAGES

LOS ANGELES, May 9. W.p)-An
asserted attempt of juror in the
Morris Lavine-M Miss Leontine John
son extortiOn case to communicate
with someone outside the jury room,
was disclosed today by Superior
Judge B. r. Schauer.
Judge Schauer called the jurors
into his courtroom and lectured to
them on their oaths as jurors. He
ordered three mysterious messages
placed in the secret files of the
court.
The jurist did not think the
breach serious enough to call for a
mlstrial for he ordered the jurors
to return to the deliberations they
began late Wednesday.
The messages, according to Judge
Schauer, sought devine aid and the
assistance of mental telepathy in
reaching a verdict in the case. They
were written by woman juror, it
was said
81 has come to the attention of
the court" Judge Schauer said
when he called the jury in, "that
an attempt has been made by a
juror to obtain outside assistance
in reaching a verdict"
He then reminded the jurors
that their duty was to reach YER
dict through their own intelligence
and not through "mental 1elepathy

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler said to-
day in an interview with the United
Press celebrating remarks in his ad-
dress before the Royal Society of

DR.. Butler, president of Columbia
University. New York, expressed the
opinion that the proposed tariff bill
is economically unsound and des-

viOus tariff.

out the world.
"The United States cannot afford
to antagonize any longer good busi-
ness and diplomatic relations.
He said observations on his pres
cnt tour convinced him that there
is a general feeling of disfavor with
the United States tariff policy. He
said the laws Of economies demand
ed somewhat favorable balance of
trade which has long been recog-
nizcd by professors and students of
sound economics, since countries
cannot purchase American products
without capital from some of their
own produce in the United States.
He strenuously contested the ideas
of some congressman that the du-
ties recently imposed on goods i'm
ported to European countries were
not directed at the United States
as means of reprisal.
He said he was eager to return to
the United States to enter discus
sions with statesmen and fianciers
regarding the proposed tariff bill.

EXPECT SENATE
WILL CONFIRM
OWEN ROBERTS
Hoover Names Leading
Attorney To Place Re-
fused Judge Parker

WASHINGTON, May 9.-U.P)-
The nomination of Owen j. Roberts
of Philadelphia, prosecutor of the
naval oil leases, to be associate JUS
tice of the United States supreme
court, was sent to the senate today
by President Hoover.
The nomination was made almost
exactly 4S hours after the senate
rejected Judge John J. Parker, of
North Carolina, for the post.
In selecting Roberts, the Presi-
dent reached into the front rank of
the American bar for man whose
attainments as private lawyer
and whose prosecution of the Tea
pot Dome cases had won him the
highest standing.
Arguments of Roberts before the
supreme court on the naval oil
cases are regarded as technical
masterpieces in the profession and
won the commentator of insurgent
Republicans who were chiefly re-
sponsible for the recent defeat of
Judge Parker.
This confirmation is anticipated
with little delay, although Demo
cratic senators, while generally
speaking well of Roberts, reserved
judgment until they further studied
his record.
Among them were Democratic
leaders Robinson and Senator Dill,
Democrat, Washington.
Dill recalled that at the time
Roberts was chosen government
counsel in the oil eases, the senate
had made a thorough investigation
of his record, looking for man
with ga free mind and unprejud-
iced. -
"We found nothing to indicate
he was net of free mind and not a
vigorous prosecutor Dill said.
"Where he stands upon the great
questions that have been stirring

ABANDON OIL
TANKER AFTER
STRIKING REEF

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9. W.H-
Salvagcrs abandoned the oil tanker
Richfield, aground on submerged
reef in brakes Bay. near Point
Reyes, today after the crew had
been brought safely ashore.
The ship, one of the largest oil
carriers on the coast and unit in
the Richfield Oil Company's fleet,
grounded at noon yesterday. So
badly was she crippled that the
crew was quickly transferred to
land by the coast guard cutter
Smith.
Captain Henry Lee remained on
board until it was obvious that
nothing could be done to salvage
the liner and then he took to a
lifeboat and gained shore.
The Richfield was laden with
$4,000 barrels of gasoline. She was
enroute from San Francisco to
Portland when the mishap occurred.
The Red Stack tug Sea Rover
was dispatched to the scene fully
equipped for salvaging operations
but the vessels back is so badly
broken that salvaging is consider
ed impracticable.
Explaining the grounding of the
vessel Captain Lee said he was
hugging the shore at what he con
sidered safe distance to avoid
the strong head winds holding the
ship back. Suddenly the vessel was
literally picked up by huge comber
and lifted far inshore and dropped
on the reef.
