GENEVA, Oct. 80. - japanese
warning to Soviet Russia not to
interfere in the Manchurian dispute
with China was regarded here today
as placing grave difficulties in the
way of the proposed League of Ma
tons settlement of the dispute.
If the dispute is extended to in
volve Russia, it will be impossible
for Japan to withdraw her troops
from Manchuria by Ncv. Is, as re-
Quested in the resolution passed by
the league council.
The league then would be forced
to approach solution from an en-
tirely new angle, involving a nom
league member. 1t would have to
use all its resources to enforce
measures of the league covenant
designed to preserve peace.
League circles thus were disturbed

Realty Owners Demand
That Huge Personal Prop
erty Dodge Be Ended.

Climaxing a long fight of civic in
terests to lift the burden of taxa
ton from the real estate owner, suit
was filed today in superior court two
against state and county taxing Of
ficialS to have 1930-31 tax assess
ments set aside as illegal.
Filed in behalf of Mrs. Jesse E..
Myers, a taxpayer, and a member of
the Tax Equalization Society, the
suit charges that millions of dollars
of personal property escape taxation,
and that, as result, "the whole tax
burden rests upon the real estate
owner"
Thomas D. MCGEE, attorney, who
filed the suit, is one of the incor-
porators of the Tax Equalization So
ciety, made up of real estate owners.
Purpose of the suit, according to
MCGEE, is to attack the present IN
diana taxation system, on the
ground that it violates the Consti-
tuition and does not provide for fair
and equal" taxation of all classes of
wealth.
The suit charges that taxes we're
collected in 1880 on $530,000,0O0 in
personal property, whereas total
taxable personal property in Marion
county is more than three times
that amount" More than $3.50, 000,-
900 in personal property annually
is unassessed, the suit charges.
Defendants in the action include
members of the state tax board, the
Marion county board of review,
Harry Dunn, Marion county audi
tor; Clyde E. Robinson, county
treasurer; Robert R. Sloan, county
assessor; John j. McCloskey, Cen
ter township assessor, and assessors
in nine township in the county.

that Soviet leaders considered a pol

concentrated near the station OF

The Soviet foreign Office replied
that no troops had been concen-
trated near any Manchurian prov

BANK REREARING NOV. :
Studebaker Arguments to Be Placed
Before Supreme Court.

Arguments on rehearing of the

The bank was closed at Bluffton

doubly liable for their holdings.

Each side has been allotted
six hours of argument and
the case probably will be
turned over to the jurors late
Tuesday or Wednesday fore
noon.
After completion of the case, Mrs.
Simmons, more cheerful today after
her release from the witness stand
Thursday, was congratulated by her
friends and relatives.
Each of them shook her hands
and patted her, Offering their wishes
for 'the best" when the jury de-
liberates over the thousands and
thousands of words of evidence be-
fore and against her next week.
Whispers With Family
Mrs. Simmons chewed gum and
whispered with her family during
the final stage of the case. Her
husband, John w. Simmons, wore
an overcoat tor the first time today
Elizabeth remained with her moth
err in the courtroom, while Mrs
Simmons sons Dale and George
paced the corridors.
Latter part of the rebuttal testi-
mony by the state and the defense
was marked by series of recesseS
for arguments or legal points.
Charles Davis, Hancock county
farmer, who said Horace N. Jack
son unofficial defendant" was not
in New Palestine June 8, was work
ing on farm adjoining his, was
assailed by the defense. Once il
appeared Davis would attack one OF
the defense rebuttal witnesses.
The defense has claimed Jackson
bought strychnine in New Palestine
that day.
When Emery Williams, distant
relative of Mrs. Simmons husband,
told the jury he had heard rumors
Davis had sticky fingers, Davis
arose and clenched his fists, glaring
at Williams.
Witness Uses Caution
During a recess Davis waited out
side the courtroom for Williams, but
the witness did not appear.
Lowell Mcdaniel said Davis had a
dad reputation" He admitted,
under states questioning, Davis had
not been paid by him for digging a
grave for McDaniels father-in-law.
He said the reason Davis was not
paid was because Davis owed his
father'S-in-law estate SLIPS for
corn.
Other witnesses who claimed
Davis reputation was bad" in his
community we're unable to cite in
stances in which they had dealings
with Davis.
The state opened its rebuttal to-
day with rapid-fire questioning of
two members of the picnic party
and Mrs. John Moran, neighbor of
the Ora Pollard family here.
Mrs. Lora M. jackson, wife of
Jackson, testified she and other
members of her family had con-
tributed to a gift of silverware for

The scene was in northern
Tanganyika, where game Of every
sort abounds. 1t was the termina-
ton of an American big game
safari which included Herren and
his wife, w. F. Colman of Seattle,
Gus Peret of Portland, Ore, and
two white hunters, Runtina and
Holm.
THE tragedy occurred last Fri
l. day in the vicinity of a camp
eighteen miles from Ikoma. Her
rem, Peret and Holm, with ma
tive gunbearer, went to examine
the lion bait they had set out,
when they spotted a big lion and
a lioness.
Herren fired and hit the lion in
the shoulder, bringing him to the
ground with a second shot. He
was wounded, but still dangerous.
Herren and Peret approached, in
tending to finish him off, but de-
cided to film the scene first.
Meanwhile the lion scrambled
to his feet and started for some
nearby trees, snarling. Peret be-
gan filming, when suddenly the
lion charged. Herren yelled,
Gus, he's got me-"
Peret Sprang from the camera
and seized his rife from the ma
tive, but Herren was on the
ground under the lion, trying to
fight him off. Struggling to grip
the lions throat, Herren got his
hands in the beasts mouth, striv-
ing to choke him and prevent be-
ing bitten to death.
Peret closed in and at close
range managed to put bullet in
the lions brain. E.
TTERREN was terribly clawed
Il l. and bitten, especially about
the right leg. He was carried
back to camp and at Ikoma the
leg was amputated. The party
then reached Musoma and en-
barked on Saturday for Mwanza,
an important station on Lake Vic
toria, where proper medical aid
could be obtained. Herren died
half an hour before the party
reached Mwanza.
The party left Nairobi on Oct.
9, eventually camping near Ikoma,
in the game country to the east
of Lake Victoria. Early last week,
Colman and Runtina went on a
side-trip seventy miles from the
others to shoot buffalo and rhi-
noceroS.
Herren and Peret busted them
selves making numerous films,
notably fight between two male
lions. They planned to photograph
gorillas in the Congo and obtain
specimens for the University of
Washington, the Los Angeles mu-
scum, and the Cincinnati zoo.
