Charles c. Dawes
 Trying To Invoke
 Nine Power Treaty
Believes That Might Stop Japan in Her War on China
 Latter Country Again Denies All Rumors

ence of Dawes, who has not at- tended a session of the council but conferred privately with numerous diplomats, would eventually de- mand respect for the nine power treaty and the Kellogg Briand pact outlawing war. t.
 The nine power treaty relates to principles and policies to be fol- lowed in matters concerning China.
 Further casualties of Chinese troops in Manchuria were reported to the council to-day by Dr Alfred Sze, head of the Chinese delega- ton.
 He charged in a letter that Jap- anese cavalry attacked Chinese troops at Tangshi and Wulinor on November IA, and that Chinese forces were attacked again the next day by superior numbers of Japanese aided by airplanes.
 A five hour engagement occurred in which General Shah, command ing the Chinese, was wounded, Dr Sze charged.
 Dr Sze's letter said that General Shigeru HonJo. commanding the Japanese in Manchuria. was de- termined to cross the Chinese Eastern railway for the purpose of occupying Tsitsihar, where Gener- al Ma Chan shan has been ordered to evacuate by the Japanese.
 Dr Sze denied, officially reports that China was negotiating with Soviet Russia for military equip- ment.

New York. Nov 17.-UP)- Taking it's cue from the strong grain prices, the stock market ral- lied to-day after an early setback.
 Early losses were recovered be- fore noon and the entire market pushed into new high ground on the recovery in the afternoon deal- ings under the leadership of farm shares like J. I. Case, Sears Roe- buck, and Montgomery Ward. All of these scored extensive advances.
 Refiecting the current optimism in automobile circles over prospects of increased business next year, au- tomobile and automobile access sory issues spurted, while coppers improved on unconfrmed rumors that the current ourtailment dis cussions, scheduled to end to-day, would be continued.
 When signs of important buying appeared in the main body of stocks, pressure was lifted in shares that led the recent down. ward movement and shorts rushed to take their profits. Among these issues were New York Central, which rallied nearly 8 points from its early low; Radio Corporation, Radio-Keith and Western Union. Westinghouse Electric, likewise, scored sharp rebound after reaching a new low for the bear market at 38h.
 United States Steel, General Electric, American Can and Union Carbide rose to gains of about a point each after recovering early losses. Oils were helped by an in-

 of Rotary Club
Addressed By Dr Charles Larkin and Joseph P.

Early diagnosis aids tremend- ously in the curing of cancer. said Dr Charles Larkin speaking at the meeting of the Rotary Club at the Elton today on the subject, What We Should Know About Cancer.
 Dr Larkin stated that only by careful medical diagnosis can can- cer be detected, so examinations by the family doctor about once a year are advisable.
 In the advanced stages, 1t is a very serious disease and treatment Is difficult. Early diagnosis and early treatment is the combination which aids the individual.

|BOSSY CILLE IS OPPOSED BY FIVE
 MENN PRIMARY
They Want to Gust the Fiery Mayor of New burypOrt, But They May Lose Out

Newburyport Mass, Nov. 17.-- UP). Gillis, always audacious. to-day sought to shatter a local tradition limiting a mayor to two successive terms.
 Voters went to the polls in the municipal primary election to de- eide whether the red-headed ex- sailor, who has been mayor for four years, deserves renomination.
 If Bossy wins, in to-day's six cornered contest and is victorious in the election December 8 he will be the first mayor of Newbury- ports long history to serve three successive two-year terms.
 Opposing Mayor Gillis in the pri-

 Edward B. Hoyt,t 45, contractor and former building inspector, who promises lower taxes. and lower gas and electric. rates if elected.
 Eugene Twomey, 32, electrician and city council president, who promises to bring new industries to Newburyport and reopen idle fac- tories if elected.
 Bossy, accustomed to close squeezes at the polls. made no rash predictions, perhaps recalling that in 1928 he defeated Oscar Nelson by only 495 votes and two years later enjoyed Q. mere 40-vote mar gin of victory over Michael Cash man,
 The 35-year-old ex-gob, who suc- cessfully combines. the jobs of newspaper publisher, gasoline sta- tion proprietor and shoe factory operator with that of mayor, was confident, however, that he would be renominated to-day and reflected next month.
 "The tax rate was $32 when I took office. It's still $32. That's what interests the voters" Bossy said.
 A few weeks ago the mayor be- gan publishing a pale pink, week. Iy newspaper 4 called Asbestos" Last night he issued 0 pre-primary extra devoted almost. exclusively to ballyhooing the Gillis cause.

Democratic Chairman
 Given Real Break
John Downey Called for Jury, Escapes Service When Judge Is Informed It's Election Day in His, Town WallingfOrd

It happened this way. More jurymen were needed to serve on q case ready for trial to-day. MT Freeman chose the names of MT Downey and Miles oddly from the town of Wallingford. MT Oddly, in- cidentally is one of the candidates for election in that town. MT oddly was excused by Judge John Rufus Booth when 1t was explained to the court that the election was scheduled for to-day.
 MT Downey, however, put in an appearance in superior court to- day and failed to inform any of the court officials that he was the democratic town chairman. One of the other Jurymen explainedto to MT Freeman that MT Downey might probably be needed in Wallingford to-day.
 A few whispered words to Judge Booth by MT Freeman resulted in MT Downey being called to the bench. A few seconds later, MT Downey was on his way to con. duct the affairs of his party in the elections,

Gun Practice
 To Be Ordered
 At Headquarters
Agitation Starts to Have Cops Better Versed in Use of Firearms Some Haven't Pulled Trigger Since I89S-Barrels of Guns Rusty

As matter of precaution, which means as a means to protect po- licemen against the bullets of gum men, there is now a popular agita- tion to have all cops instructed in shooting. What few instances members of the department have had to use their guns In recent instances certainly reflected no glory on their markmanship. Sev- eral are lucky to be alive.
 The police department has sev- eral well-trained shots. but their services have yet to be drafted as instructors. In other cities police departments take keen pride in their sharpshooters. Hartford sends it's "gunmen" to national tournaments and tells, the world what good shots they are, Water bury has kept silent for years about It's shooters for the simple reason has been nothing to bras about.
 An inspection will be- followed by orders for gun practice. The shooting gallery in police g.' head quarters hasn't been used in years.

An official inspection of all fire

An official inspection of all fire arms in the possession of members of the Waterbury Police depart ment is expected to be ordered within a few weeks.
 In the 1892 estimates there Is sa arecommended appropriation of $50 for ammunition, which looks Q. k. on paper, but if customs mean anything, the appropriation will be just a matter of form. For years the annual budget of the po- lice department has contained an Appropriation for bullets, but some of the cops haven't fired a shot since '98 or perhaps when some of the younger officers were ser ving with the A. l.. F. As a matter of fact some of the policemen have never drawn a gun in years and it is matter of speculation just how their "gats" will look when submitted for inspection. If barrels of the guns are not rusty and choked with dirt 1t will be a big surprise to some of the critics of the department. .
