I look too pure, Venice thought, resentfully, that's one trouble. Purity in ist style.
 This dreary conclusion reached before her dressing table mirror was the continuation of the last ten minutes of dismal self-analysis She had been lying on her chaise lounge, hands clasped behind her head, eye sfixed mournfully on the ceiling. It was time to dress for the Goadby's party. She felt no pleased anticipation at the coming festivity. merely dull heavy heartedness. She had no desire to go. She rarely, if ever, had the desire to go to anybody's party. Yes, perhaps three or four years ago, when she had been a debu- tante and was uncertain what to expect. Now she knew exactly what to expect. Nothing. It was always the same thing.

This utterance was made at hte tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
 Grandi said the chief thought for his visit was the preservation made at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier gave up his life.
 The Italian statesman was re- ceived to the Capital life late yesterday. His party was welcom- ed with full honors due foreign guests of the nation. A few min utes later he was presented to President Hoover and formal greet ings were exchanged.
 The Italian Foreign Minister and his wife went to Secretary of State Stimson's home for dinner and a nights rest.

Seven Witnesses Support Charges Made by The

ONE LANDLADY IS

Miss Pringle Seen in Part ner's Apartments Early
 in Morning

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. IT, Seven witnesses testified yesterday in support of Alexander PantageS claim of a frame-up in the charges of Eunice Pringle that he crimin- ally attacked her in August, 1929.
 Miss Pringle's reputation and motives were attacked in the tes- timony which was barred at the first trial and caused the Supreme Court to grant a new trial after Pantages had been convicted and sentenced to from one to fifty years.
 Mrs. Myrta Hawley, one of the seven witnesses, landlady of the apartment in which Nicholas Du- neav, Miss Pringle's theatrical, partner lived, testified that she saw the girl in Duneav's room early one morning, clad only in a kimono and with her hair dis arranged. She said Duneav's room- mate, Ivan Sansanoff, told her, in reply to question, that Miss Pringle visited the apartment to make plans to 'get her in right with Pantages or Sid Grammar, then we'll be able to pay a years rent in advance"

lANCHURIAN SITUATION NOW EXTREMELY TENSE
Home Ties Pull Strong on Dino Crandi as
 World Affairs Brings Him to United States

FRASCISTI, Italy, Nov. l7.- In going to the United States to visit President Hoover, Dino Gran di left behind his real labor of love.
 For while Grandi works hard at his government post as Minister of Foreign Affairs, he is even more wrapped up in his job in the sub urb as minister of home affairs" ]"
 Grandi has an attractive young wife and two blond children who don't have to address him as Your Excellency." Signora Grandi accompanied the foreign minister but the children remain here.
 Franco, the boy, is 6, and his sister, Simonetta, is 4. They were wildly excited before their parents sailed.
 Signora Grandi, who speaks a little English, spent busy days just prior to the couples departure poll ishing off the corners of her de- lightful accent.
 Grandi isn't rich so it is love in a cottage" for him, although others call the home country house. The Foreign Minister comes of gentleman farmer" ancestry and his wife's ancestors were landown- CTS of reasonable wealth, as wealth goes in Italy. But a tempestuous Fascist career has left no time for money making. The family fortune is made up of happiness, success and a little money
 Life is simple with the Grandis. but they enjoy it tremendously. The Minister asks nothing better than a pair of skis and some snow. He served in the war with the AL pine corps and Signora Grandi has learned to skim the mountain sides with him.
 She is slender and slightly short- CT than her husband. She is a bru- nette with hair a shimmering dark chestnut. Her profile is what is called classic Italian and the answer instantly given when any, one inquiries as to what she looks like. is she's beautiful" l The Grandis don't play bridge which is rather a distinguishing characteristic in Roman society. They don't play any card games. Grandi, in Rome belongs to and often lunches at the "Scacchi" or chess club but he doesn't play chess.

FRANK JOHNSON, KAKE, ELECTED TO HEA A. N. B.
Juneau Chosen as 1932 Conve n ton City at
 Yakutat Gathering

Frank Johnson, Rake, one of the youngest men ever chosen for that position, was elected Grand President of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, at that organizations annual convention held at Yakutat last week, according to Frank Price Past Grand President, and mem- Der of the Executive Committee. He and other delegates returned from the convention today.
 Juneau was named the conven- tion city by a unanimous vote of the delegates attending. The ses- sions extended over all of last week and the gathering was the most successful on record, MT. Price de- clared.
 Delve Into Candidates
 Candidates for Territorial, Di- visional and Party offices next year will be subjected to a close scrutiny by the Brotherhood's ex- ecutive Committee which is com posed of MT. Price, Louis F. Paul and President Frank Johnson. It was instructed by the convention to inquire into the qualifications of the several candidates, party plat forms, etc., and to submit to the individual camps and the next convention it's findings together with slate which the organiza- tion as such will be required to support.
 The Committee will cover both primary and general elections next year. It will advise the membership on what candidates to support for National Committeeman and dele gates to the National conventions as well as the persons running for divisional and territorial offices.
 Meet In September
 While no date was definitely se- lected for the 1882 convention, MT Price said it was almost certain that the Brotherhood would gather here after the middle of September This, he pointed out, would give the Executive Committee an oppor- tunity to make it's report on the political aspirants and permit the delegates and others attending the convention to return home in time to vote at the November election
 The Yakutat convention changed the system of defraying the cost ot conducting the annual gatherings Up to now the local camp of the convention city has been required to pay the expenses. In the fu- ture, each individual camp will de- fray the expenses of it's own dele gates to the convention. This, MT Price noted. will bring outside money into the convention cities in

Without discussion today, the Chamber of Commerce approved the action of the Board of Direc- tors in reiterating the organiza- tion's position taken last year sup porting the request for an interna- tional conference on silver
 The Board has wired President Paul Shoup of the Western Divi- sion of the United States Chamber of Commerce endorsing the con- ference idea and urging that the subject be made major topic for discussion at the coming annual meeting of the Western Division at Spokane, December As next.
 Need For Pressure
 | A letter from the Wallace, Idaho, Board of Trade said that all pos sible pressure would have to be brought to bear on the Western Division program committee in or der to make the subject one of the major discussion topics. Only two have been agreed upon-Taxation and stabilization of Business. Two others are expected to be selected before the meeting convenes.
 Owing to the opposition of the Hoover administration to such a procedure. said the Board of Trade letter, the Western Division mana cement probably is not inclined to treat the subject as important and will consider it as a minor topic unless otherwise directed by mem Der organizations represented at Spokane.
 Improvement of market condi- tions and increased prices for silver are vital to western States and AL aska, said the Board No real So- lution of the problems confronting the silver mining industry can be arrived at except through interna- tional cooperation, hence the need for conference. it added.

We'll Known Mining En- giner Examines Wagner
 Claims and Is Pleased

Matthew M. Reese, well known mining engineer of Seattle ana former Alaskan, sailed for the south today via the Admiral Evans, after having made an examination of the Wagner mineral properties on Salmon creek. He is taking with him ore representing a complete sampling of all the four veins To- cated on the eighteen gold claims of the well known Wagner prop erty. and will make a report at an early date.
 MT. Reese has been engaged as a mining engineer for many years with Seattle headquarters. He has been active in Alaska, Idaho, Cali fornia, Oregon and other sections, and several operating properties are being worked at profit after following the recommendations based on his findings. He says the Wagner property has all the ear marks pointing to development in- to a successful mine.
 The Wagner ore veins are like those of the old Treadwell, accord ing to MT. Reese. There are four of them, the largest being forty feet wide. Water for power is abundant and finely situated, he declared, and the indications point to the possibility of making a mine that might be handily and profitably worked. You may say" he said to an Empire reporter that I like the looks of the Wagner property and am very hopeful that it will be mine"

Japan Fails to Evacuate Territory as Request

REPORTED U. s. HAS
 CHANGE OF VIEWS
Russia Grows Restless at Activities-Truce
 Is Countered

LONDON, Nov. 17-The Man. churian conflict is more complexed today than for some days.
 Japanese airplanes have dropped bombs over the lines of the Chin- csc troops.
 Japan has not evacuated Man. churian territory as requested by the League of Nations and further more, the Japanese Government, in a note to China, says no evacua- tion is contemplated.
 Evidence of the change of atti- tude of the United States towards insistence that the Japanese evac- uate Manchuria is also reported in Paris.
 The League of Nations is agi- tated over this report and also by reports Russia is becoming nettled at Japanese activity.
 Truce Turned Dow n
 General Nah Chanshan troops are reported from Mukden as standing their ground south of Anganchi with no intention of withdrawing although earlier re- ports to the Rengo News Agency at Tokyo, from Harbin, said the Chi- nese commander had acceded to the conditions of the Japanese for truce. 1t is now reported he has submitted set of counter pro- posals.
 On top of all this is a demand by Hu Han Ming. former chief of the Chinese governments executive branch, and leader of the Nation- alist Party that the military au- thorities ask Ranking that more endorsements be sent to Man. churia immediately.
 No Evacuation
 The Japanese Government de- clared in notes to the China Gov ernment and League of Nations that the resolution calling on Ja- pan to evacuate Manchuria yes- terday, was not operative as it was not adopted unanimously. The res- olution passed by a vote of 13 to 1, Japan voting against it.
 The Japanese note further says China must recognize the sanctity of treaties and must abandon "her policy of utilizing anti-foreign agi- tation to obtain her objectives."
 The note also said China, in de- manding the League of Nations order for evacuation was trying to twist the Leagues action to serve her own purposes" and China is accused of falling to live up to the provisions of the Leagues resolu- tion by making no effort to at- tempt to restore normal relations.
 Bombs Dropped
 A dispatch received in London, by the Daily Mail said two Japan csc airplanes dropped 30 bombs over the Chinese lines south of Anganchi but little damage is re- ported
 Japanese airplanes also flew over Tsitsihar but withdrew when the Chinese troops fired on them
 The situation in Tsitsihar is de- clared extremely tense. Two for eigners, an English Major named Fraser, and the Mails correspond ent are the only ones remaining there. American newspapermen withdrew after four missionaries were recalled to Harbin by the American Consulate.
