GERMAN FOREIGN TRADE
RESTRICTIONS PLANNED
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, November 18-Germanys
foreign trade will be subjected to much
more stringent control, it was au-
thoritatively announced, because foreign
exchange is not being yielded up to the
Reichsback as it should be under the
existing emergency DEGREES.
A leading official of the Reichbank
said one reason why the banks gold
and foreign exchange coverage has
sunk to the new low level Of 26.7 per
cent is that exporters have found ways
to evade the decree under which all
foreign exchange must be handed over
to the Reichsbank
It is expected that under new
regulations all exporting firms will
have to report d foreign sales to the
foreign exchange commissioner.

Japanese Cabinet Resigns
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press Stan Correspondent


TOXIC, Dec. 1.-THE cabinet of
Premier Rejeiro Wakatsuki resigned
today.
The resignation was rendered
Emperor Hirohito at $50 p. m.
The formation of a coalition re-
gime was forecast, as the fall of the
government was caused principally
by the demand of Home Minister
Keno Adachi for cooperation with
the opposition party to meet Japan's
domestic and international prob
lens.
The grand chamberlain to the
emperor, Admiral Kantaro, con-
suited with prince Saionji. former
premier and one of Japan'S Oldest
diplomats, regarding offers of the
premiership in forming a new gov
eminent.
In the event that the Seiyukai
(opposition) party is called on to
form a new cabinet, or a coalition
regime is decided upon, the en-
peror was expected to summon
Tsuyoshi Inukai, president of the
opposition party, to form a cabinet.
Former Finance. Minister Baron
Yamamoto was regarded as likely
choice for premier if the MinSeito
party attempts to form a new gov
eminent 1t appeared that Baron
Shidehara, foreign minister in the
the cabinet which resigned, would
not participate in a new administra-
ton, regardless of its composition.

Hoover Moratorium to Be
First on Program,
Garner Says.
BIZ United Press

by OnBtGU 1TeS8
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Speaker
John N. Garner Of the house of
representatives said today that the
house would complete organization
of it's committees and be ready for
consideration of legislation by next
Tuesday.
The Hoover one-year moratorium
on European debts will be taken
up first, he said, probably Tuesday
or Wednesday.
A tax bill, however, may be de-
layed in reaching the floor through
necessity of holding committee
hearings. Garner said that COM
mittee consideration of the tax bill
probably could begin by Tuesday.
The Democratic policy committee
also will meet Tuesday and is ex-
pected to consider the Democratic
tax program.
The senate was not in session
today, leaders devoting their time to
informal conferences, through which
they hope to break the deadlock
over the election of a president pro
tenn. There was talk that if the
deadlock is not broken Monday, a
movement to force the withdrawal
of Senator Moses (Rep., N. H.) from
the contest and the substitution of
another Republican would follow.
A small group of insurgents has
prevented election of either Moses
or Pittman, the Democratic candi-
date, by scattering its votes.
Senate feeling also is being mani
tested in general support of the
Johnson resolution to investigate
the circumstances under which in
ternationa1 banking houses partici-
pated in pouring some $15,000,000,-
900 in private loans into foreign
countries, and methods used in per-
suading smaller banks throughout
the country to take large blocks of
these bonds and pass them on to
small investors, and into estates of
widows and orphans, when they de-
clined in many cases later to frac-
ton of their cost price.

Lad Slowly Losing Life
Battle From Lack of
Exercise.
BY MERRILL E. COMPTON
United Press STAFF Correspondent


MEMPHIS, Dec. 11.-An 8-year-
old boy, who has been in coma
for fifty-three days from the effects
of sleeping sickness, slowly was los
ing his battle for life today from
lack of exercise.
Scientists and physicians virtually
have given up hope for recovery of
Joe Higgins, stricken by the mys-
ferrous disease almost two months
ago in Mississippi, and who since
has lain unconscious in the Chill
dren's hospital here, where he was
brought to be nearer the latest
remedies modern science has to
offer.
Physicians pointed out that Joe
has been asleep so long that his
condition has reached the point
where he is growing daily worse
from lack of exercise.
At first, Joe was fed through a
tube. Later it became necessary
for nurses to drop bits of food into
his mouth. Slowly he chews the
food, his only nourishment. The
chewing is his only sign of activity
DR.. H. B. Turner, professor of
neurology at the University of Ten
nessee medical school, was called
into the case and explained that
Joe'S disease is known technically
as lethargic encephalitis, but added
that "the medical world has come
to realize that sleeping sickness
never can be cured"
eve know of no way to restore
nerve cells that have once degene-
rated" DR.. Turner said. THE con-
dition of the victim may be i'm
proved considerably, but we can not
effect a real cure.'
A blood TRANSMISSION several days
ago resulted in temporary rally,
but his condition has grown worse
slowly.

They're shiny. The shine may
come off, but it won't inside me,
nor her, either, I guess, at having
them" laughed the Lady Bowler,
with the laugh that is akin to a
cry.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-A
resolution calling for impeach-
ment OF Secretary of Treasury
Mellon will be introduced in the
house in about ten days, Repre-
sentative Patman De., Tex.) said
today.
The charge will be based on an
old law forbidding the secretary of
the treasury to engage in bust
ness.
The Texas Democrat several
months agoannounced his inten-
tionof seeking Melons impeach-
ment. Secretary Melons friends
explained then that similar
charge had been brought against
the treasury head when he first
took office and Mellon was exc
onerated, after investigation by
Senat committee.

CORONER HIT
BY CHARGES
OF EXTORT|ON
VehIing Received 500 for
Autopsy, Grand Jurors
Told by Witness.
ONLY s25 FEE LEGAL
Doubt Is Cast on Need for
Post MortemS in
Recent Months.
BY DICK MILLER

Coroner Fred w. Vehling today
was branded an "extortionist," in
charges placed before the county
grand jury that he forced relatives
of Walter L. Juttemeyer of st.
Louis to pay 500 for an autopsy on
the body of the automobile crash
victim.
Oscar Hagemeier, grand jury dep
uty prosecutor, said if the autopsy
was necessary and legal, Vehling
should have collected a $25 fee from
the county, as the law sets out.
Juttemeyer was injured fatally
when his automobile struck truck
at Washington street and Rockville
road Oct Is. He died the following
day.
His. wife, Mrs. Effie Juttemeyer,
and their 12-year-old daughter,
Helen Virginia, were hurt.
Doctor on Stand
Or. E. Vernon Hahn, Indianapolis
physician, who attended members
OF the family, testified before the
grand jury.
Vehling is alleged to have refused
to issue verdict and information
to the insurance company without
performance of the post-mortem.
1t is charged that attaches of
Vehling's Office told relatives an
autopsy would cost between $3.50
and $500.
Friends said there probably would
be no way to avoid the autopsy and
fee, as he insisted upon it before he
would return a verdict. Vehling was
paid a 500 check after a compro-
mise. DR.. Hahn acted as a witness
at the post-mortem, he testified.
Legality Of The autopsy on the
body of Edward Myers, 40, of 1910
Blaine avenue, killed Oct. Is, when
he fell from the second floor of a
near downtown store, also will be
weighed by the probe group.
Autopsy Held Before Glass
Police reports reveal Myers fell
while working as a carpenter and
the right side of his skull was
crushed.
The widow, it is alleged, has been
unable to obtain any information
from Vehling or details of what
action was taken with the body fol-
lowing death.
Hagemeier gave Mrs. Myers the
first information recently that the
autopsy had been performed. It
was learned the post-mortem was
held before a class of nurses and
other spectators.
DR.. L. A. Stamper of city hospital
testified before the grand jury to-
day in the case centering around
the autopsy on the body of Frank
Glover, 14-month-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jessie Glover, 428 South
Alabama street, Aug. Is.
Parents Forced to Wait
In this case, DR.. Clarence Harris,
Negro deputy coroner, is alleged to
have performed the poSt-mortem
while the parents waited three
hours at the hospital for the baby'S
body. They did not know of the
operation until later.
Stamper has stated he believed
the autopsy was necessary because
he suspected the child was poisoned,
but no records or witnesses in the
case ever Substantiated his theory.
He said this was based on the
parents refusal to approve the
autopsy. The child died of a
stomach ailment and bronchial
pneumonia

Brass bands blared forth martial
music on streets near the jail
Thursday night, and gave Harry F.
Powers, convicted murdered of
Dorothy Lemke, a restless night as
he awaited an appeal that may save
his life.
The mail order Romeo who played
his knowledge of feminine "psychol-
ogy" to the last-to a mandatory
sentence to death by hanging-was
scheduled to be sentenced Satur-
day.
He was convicted by a jury, de-
liberating an hour and 48 minutes,
shortly after o'clock Thursday
afternoon.
After the judge has told Powers,
appearing Saturday for sentence,
that he must die, Powers counsel, j.
Edward Law, will move for new
trial.
The motion will be overruled auto
matically. And then Law will say
to the upper court that his client
did not have fair trial, for three
reasons:
l. He was tried in a community
seething with rage against him.
2. He was denied the opportunity
of presenting the two mythical
characters who might have done the
murders.
3. The state did not break down

last time he saw the woman he is
accused of numbering in Clarks-
burg, w. Va, was in Qniontown,

Powers sat as a craven figure, his
face displaying the same bewildered
expression shown during the entire
trial, as the verdict was read.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Leaders of

were at loggerheads today on
whether to accept the railroads
suggestion of voluntary 10 per

After arguments since Wednes-

and the prospect was none would

of four, representing the four mai or
divisions of union railway labor, was
appointed at noon to draw into
form a recommendation based on
the discussions.
The subcommittee was instructed
to report, if possible to the COM

report to the main group of $500
delegates at 4 p. m. so the wage
cut question can be brought to a
vote.

CLOSE WATCH is KEPT
America to Stand Firm for

of State Says.
CLOSE WATCH is KEPT
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howar Foreign Editor


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE
most outspoken pronouncement
emanating from Washington since
Japan unclaimed her dogs of war
against China, Secretary of State
Stimson Thursday night put this
country squarely against the mill
tary conquest of Manchuria and the
wrecking of the treaties of peace.
AS one Of the parties to the KEEL
Iogg pact and the nine-power treaty
safeguarding the integrity of China,
he said, this country can not con-
ceal its interest and anxiety over
what is happening in the far east.
Thus while the United States is
gratified at the unanimous adoption
Thursday by the council of the
League Of Nations of the resolution
designed to put an end to the blood
shed in Manchuria, it must not be
taken to mean that we in any way
indorse what has happened there.
Furthermore, he added, the real
test Of the resolution is yet to come.
Everything depends upon the good
faith in which the principal parties
thereto carry out its terms. Our
watch, therefore, will not relax.
Points TO Pledges
THE resolution" he said, pro
vides for immediate cessation of
hostiljties. 1t reaffirms the solemn
pledge of Japan to withdraw her
troops within the railway zone as
speedily as possible 1t provides
for appointment of a commission
of five to study on the spot and
report to the council of any cir
cumstance which disturbs the peace
or affects the good understandings
between China and Japan"
All of which, said he, was in line
with modern and enlightened meth
DDS of keeping the peace of the
world. But, he went on frankly:
1.-THE ultimate solution of the
Manchurian problem must be
worked out by some process OF
agreement between China and
Japan themselves.
"This country is concerned that
the meCnOuS employed III UIllS SSbGlc-
ment shall, in harmony with the
obligations of the treaties to which
we are parties, be made in a way
which shall not endanger the peace
of the world and that the result
shall not be the result of military
pressure.
Concern is Expressed
"These are the essential principles
for which the United States and the
nations represented on the council
have been striving. And it is in it
self a signal accomplishment that
there has been arrayed behind
these principles in harmonious CO.
operation such solid alignment of
the nations of the world.
"On the other hand, the adoption
of this resolution in no way consti-
tutes an Endorsement of any action
hitherto taken in Manchuria.
This government, as one of the
Signatories of the Briand-Kellogg
pact and the nine-power treaty, can
not disguise its concern over the
events which there have occurred.
