CHINA CANCELS
CONCESSIONS

SHANGHAI, May 5 GN.S).
Abrogation of all eXtraterritorial
rights of foreigners in China from
January, 1882, onward was an
nounced by the nationalist gov
ernment at Nanking today.
The announcement, which disre-
CARDS the unexpired terms OF
treaties formulated between China
and the United States as well as
other foreign governments, was
made following breakdown OF pro-
IOnged conferences on the ques-
tiOn of extraterritOriality.
Mandate Is Reaffirmed
In making the announcement,
C. T. Wang, Chinese foreign min
ister, reaffirmed the mandate Of
December, 1928, in which it is set
forth that all foreign nationals
must abide by the laws of the
central and local governments OF
China without recourse to foreign
Jurisdiction. The statement said:
1.-The national government
appreciates the warm sympathy
extended by the other powers
in the endeavOrs to COnsum-
mate China's legitimate aspira-
tiOns. 1t is, however, sincerely
regretted that they are un-
prepared at this juncture to
meet completely the unanimous
and ardent wishes of the
Chinese government and people.
Has No Alternative
"In these circumstances, the
national government has no
other alternative but to recOg-
nize and declare that the extra
territOriality negotiations with
the few remaining powers have
reached an unfortunate impaSSe
and to issue tOday's mandate as
well as regulations governing
the exercise of jurisdiction over
. foreign nationals in China"

BULLET IS CLUE

CHICAGO, May 5 GN,SD.
Ballistics experts today attempted
to match a .45-caliber bullet
taken from the charred body of
Mike De Pike" HeitIer, slain vice
car and gangster, with one of
the revolvers taken from nine
members of the Capone gang.
Heitler's body, burned beyond
recognition, was found in the
ashes of an ice house near Bar
ringtOn, ILL.,, last week.
An autopsy performed by Coro-
ner Herman Bundesen showed
Heitler had been shot twice in
the back. One of the bullets was
found and it was turned over to

Following the sudden action OF
the Commerce Department in re-
questing air-transport operators
using tri-motor Fokker planes to
remove these machines from the
passenger service until certain
tests can be made relative to their
maintenance, Government experts
today were preparing to begin an
intensive study which possibly
may lead to more stringent air
regulations.
Assistant Secretary of Com
merce Clarence M. Young said
there was no reflection on the
original design or construction Of
the FOkker planes, but the tests
we're being made entirely as to
their maintenance.
ROckne Tragedy Figures
The investigation which led to
the action began with the Mid
Western tragedy in which knnte
Rockne, the Notre Dame football
coach, and seven others were
killed.
Relative to keeping planes in
condition, the air regulations pro
vide:
"After air aircraft is licensed,
and between the times that it
is inspected for airwOrthineSS by
an inspector, the owner is
charged with the continuous
duty of maintaining the air
craft in a good and proper
state of repair and flying cOndi-
tiOn."
Inspection Required
The regulations provided for a
cline inspection" by licensed
airman once within each "a hours
preceding flight. The results OF
such inspections must be main
tanned in a log. The working

condition of all parts of the plane,
including controls, landing gear,
shock absorbers, various parts Of
the motor, propellers, and other
features.
Periodic inspections are re-
quired after each 100 hours Of
flight by a licensed mechanic, to
determine the planes working
condition. AS to official inspec-
tions the regulations provide:
"The inspector or other au-
thOriZed officer of the Secretary
of Commerce shall be permit
ted by the owner, operating
agency, or pilot to inspect the
licensed aircraft at any time
and place for the purpose of
determining it's flying condition
and state of repair.
"This places on the Govern
ment the obligation of deter

air commerce law has been de-
manded in many quarters since
the Rockne crash and it is not
unlikely Congress will give the
matter study at the next SeS-
sion"

TimepieCe Stopped by Dagger

He Was With Her Later

SAN DIEGO, Calf, May
UN.SO.-The small wrist watch
worn by pretty Hazel Bradshaw
when she was stabbed to death
early Sunday by an unknown as,
Sailant offered one of the i'm
portant clues today in the inveSti-
cation.
When the girls body was found
In Indian Village the watch had
stopped at 9:43 o'clock, indicating,
according to Deputy Coroner
Gershon, that the girl was stabbed
to death at that hour, as one of
the dagger thruStS apparently had
stopped the small timepiece.
SuitOr's Alibi Attacked
This new discovery will be one
of the points on which M. E.
Garrison, admirer of the girl, is
to be questioned, detectives said.
Garrison, detained yesterday by
police, said he had accompanied
Miss Bradshaw to theater
Saturday night and had left her
at the door of her home about
midnight.
Police said they had not yet de-
termined whether the watch indl-
Gated the girl had been slain at
9:43 Saturday night or II hours
later.
The coroner's report indicated
that the girls body was still
warm when found shortly after
noon Sunday.
Kisses Girls Forehead
After hours of questioning,
Garrison was suddenly confronted
with the body of Miss Bradshaw.
He spoke endearing names and
kissed the girls forehead re-
peatedIy. Several times he asked
detectives that he be permitted to
attend the girls funeral.
Garrison then broke down and
wept and was led from the room.
A coroner's investigation of the
body revealed that she had been
stabbed II times.

Your Health

Swimming is probably the
best all-round exercises. We
do not always realize this be-
cause the water takes up the
extra heat generated in swim
ming and one does not feel so
hot after a good swim. The
water also has an effect on the
skin-a stimulating effect
which counteractS the sense OF
fatigue felt after other sports.
Will Increase Heat of Body
Swimming will increase the
heat of the body IL times over
the amount produced when sit
ting still. OF course, running
will do more than that in the
same length of time, but swim
ming is, I believe, a better
exercise. In the first place, it
exercises more muscles than
running, bringing the arm and
shoulder muscles into play bet
ter. Then 1t does not throw
such a burden suddenly on the
heart and, therefore, you can
actually exert more while swim
ming than while running.
