 GIVEN VERDICT
 FOR INJURIES
Jury Awards Her $1,622
 for Hurts Received in Auto Crash, 1850

For injuries suffered in an auto wreck here on May 1, 1930, Mrs. Jennie Soberg was yesterday award ed the sum of $1,622 by a jury in the United States district court against Sam Gazaloff and Bill Karoff. the former owner of the car and the latter its driver. Mrs. Soberg sued for $14,OO0.

 The accident occurred about 5 pm. on May l, on the sharp turn on Willoughby Avenue near Jack Whites grocery store. Mrs. Soberg was one of six persons in the au- tomobile which skidded on wet planking and turned over to the beach below. She was the most se- verely injured suffering broken bones and several cuts.
 R. E. Robertson appeared for tho plaintiff and Henry Roden and Grover 0. Vim represented Gaza- loff in the suit which has occupied the last three days.

BISHOP CAN NON VIOLATED LAWS, UNITED STATES
District of Columbia Grand Jury Says So in
 Indictment ADA L. BURROUGHS

Contributions to Anti-Smith Campaign in 1928
 Not Reported

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Oct. l6.- Bishop James Cannon, Jr., has been indicted by the District Of Columbia Grand Jury for viola ton of the Federal Corrupt Prac- tices law during the 1928 campaign.

 Case Plainly; Stated
 To state the case plainly, tho Chinese republic claims both Mon golia and Manchuria, but Soviet Russia dominates the former ano Japan very largely controls South ern Manchuria through it's lease oi the South Manchurian railway zone and the ports it acquired by its victory at arms over Russia.
 For decades the leading powers of Europe and Japan have waited for the disintegration of China. Ja- pan and Russia, as near neighbors of the Chinese, have insisted that just as the crumbling Turkish em. pire created the Balkans and in- volved Europe in so many wars, SO the Chinese empire and later the Chinese republic, have threat ened to upset the peace of Asia by splitting into bits.
 But China has failed to disinte- grate. Her politicians have skill fully played rival powers against each other and saved themselves from wholesale dismemberment, in spite of the domestic strife which has kept the land in ferment.

 ince Rolled Japan and Russia Watch Chance to Secure
 Firm Foothold
By CHAS. STEPHENSON SMITH (Chief of Foreign Service of The Associated Press)

Manchuria, the .Alsace-Lorraine of Asia, is again in the throes of war.
 P Japan has seized a score of towns in Manchuria. It occupies the im- portant southern ports and has thrown troops into all centers where there are large Japanese pop ulations, allegedly to protect them against Chinese demonstrations.
 China has appealed to the League of Nations and claims it is guilt less of the aggression which Japan insists m de the occupation of Mukden imperative to protect Jap- anese interests.
 For 35 years Russia and Japan have been struggling to get bet ter foothold in Manchuria. Two m a or wars the Sino-Japanesc clash of 1894-1895 and the Russo Japanese conflict of 1904-1905, cen tered about the struggle to wrest Manchuria from China.
 China was helpless in its war with Japan and, as victor, Japan prepared to take over Southern Manchuria; but Russia enlisted the help of France and Germany and prevented Japan from realizing it's ambitions in 1895. Russia managed several years later to wriggle a lease out of China which gave it control of Port Arthur and the Liaotung peninsula.
 Caused One War
 This concession was the chief cause of the Russo-Japanese War which resulted in another victory for Japan and the acquisition of the valuable Russian lease, enabl- ing Japan to effect commercial penetration of all Manchuria by the possession of the South Man churia Railway and the southern ports.
 Mongolia and Manchuria, both Chinese territory, are buffer states between Japan and Russia. Soviet Russia seems no less keen than was the Russia of the czars to dom- mate this northern empire which a disorganized and warning China has not been able to hold with a firm grasp. I E
