GENEVA, Oct. 21.-League of Ma
tons quarters became outwardly
impatient today at the delay in ap-
preaching q, solution of the Man
churian dispute. Adjournment OF
the league council was discussed.
It was admitted that the situation
was growing worse, despite hopes
aroused through President Aristide
Brands private conversations with
Chinese and Japanese delegates.
The situation was aggravated by
unconf1rmed reports that Secretary
of State StinSon, who in September
opposed sending a league commits
sion of inquiry into Manchurla,
which Japan also opposed, now was
supporting the japanese demand for
no fixed date for withdrawal OF
troops from Manchuria.
Council members who demanded
solution of the question this week
believed it impossible and suggested
immediate adjournment, with a
meeting in two or three weeks at
Paris.
League leaders maintained that
Japan had made the issue between
the league and Japan, and not be-
tween China and Japan. For this
reason, the reported American sup
port of an unnamed date for with
drawal of Japanese troops was I'M
welcome.
The Japanese delegation, at 1890
p. m. today, insisted that its chief,
Kenkichi Yoshizawa, had not re-
ceived instructions from Toxic on

That is the picture the Japanese

an obsession. Korea, Manchuria,
Mongolia, Saghalien, Formosa and
perhaps part of Siberia, eventually,

HOPE DW|NDLES
FOR DEPOSITORS
City Trust Is Unlikely to
Pay Off Soon.

Indications that depositors of the
defunct City Trust Company will
not receive any part of their money
in the near future were contained
in report to Circuit Judge Harry
o. Chamberlin today by Curtis H.
Rottger, receiver.
Rottger stated that $372,174 in
assets have been liquidated since
the bank was closed, Oct. %, 1880.
This money was applied toward
payment of receivership costs and
preferred claims, the report dis
closed.
A major part of the banks hold
ings now consist of real estate,
most difficult to dispose Of at this
time" Rottger said.
Rottger reported that since the
bank closed, real estate assets have
increased greatly in volume because
Of foreclosures of mortgages held
by the bank.
Cost of administering the receiv-
ership was listed at $55.310, but net
income to cover administration costs
totaled only $41,7O4, he reported.
Administration cost included $19,-
Ee9 pay roll, $10,107 for property
management and $5,316 attorneys
fees.
When the bank closed, total as
sets were $2,356,891, with $18,256
cash on hand. Book value of as
sets has decreased $500 since the
closing, the report said.
Rottger stated that a total of
$183,949 is owing to two Indianap-
oils and one Chicago bank.

To her, the sea of Japan merely is
a Japanese lake. Manchuria and
the country Whereabouts is regarded
as her back yard. There is another
side to the story, of China'S
side, which I shall tell-but any
government at Toxic that did not
take the backyard view of things
would not last a week.
An irresistible pressure. both eco
nomic and political, the japanese
claim, is pushing them irresistibly
on.
Politically, Japan regarded Korea
as a pistol at her head" so she
went to war with China in 1895 to
remove that pistol.
Next, Manchuria was seen as the
menace. Any strong power in pos
session there, it was claimed, would
put the empire in peril. Thus, when
Russia was moving to grab it in
1904, Japan again resorted to war,
licked Russia and removed that
menace.

Great inventors Grave Is in
Shadow of Giant Oak
Near Home.
BY DELOS SMITH
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WEST ORANGE, N. j., Oct. I'll
With the old-fashioned simplicity
that marked the pattern of his life,
Thomas Alva Edison went to his
rest this afternoon in sunshine
flooded cemetery overlooking his be-
loved rolling countryside in the
Oranges.
In the subdued atmosphere of
Llewellyn Park, at the comfortable
old mansion that has been the Edi-
son home for years, and later in the
shadows OF a great oak that stood
by the graveside, the presence of
notable Americans who came not
as officials, but as friends, to say
farewell to him, seemed unmarked
and unnoticed.
Even the presence of Mrs. Herbert
Hoover, representing the President
of the United States, reflected no
measure of official display at cere-
monial which was as homely as it
was brief.
Above Massed with Flowers
The guests, all friends of the great
inventor, and many of them treas
uring the memory and thought of
having shared with him his early
achievements, began arriving at the
pillared mansion at 130 p. M, an
hour before the ceremony.
They entered the home through
wide double doors of heavily carved
oak and were met in a plainly fur
nished reception room, the dark
paneling of which gave forth a
shadowy reflection from dinmed
lamps.
A smiling portrait of Edison
looked down upon them.
From this hall, they passed to the
drawing roonl-Edison insisted in
calling it parlor, "just an old
fashioned parlor"- in square
alcove beyond rested the bier.
The alcove was massed with
flowers. Through it's windows the
guests could look out upon the
broad green lawns, and forest of the
park, gorgeous in their autumn col
orings.
Old Ballad Played
AS the guests took their seats, the
strains of I'll Take You Back
Again, Kathleen" followed by the
sentimental modern ballard, Little
Gray Home in the West" sounded
through the house, coming from an
organ and violin in the reception
room.
When the last notes of these two
simple songs died away, trio of
piano, violin and cello, from behind
ported palms in the dining room,
played four numbers.
Silence for a moment and the
Rev. j. Herbin read sections from
the testament.
Then the pastor prayed briefly,
before the body was borne to its
resting place.
The nation will be plunged into
darkness tonight as a final tribute
to Mr.. Edison.
Hoover Asks Tribute
At Presidents Hoover'S suggestion
lights will be turned out for sixty
seconds at 9 p. m. Central tinle)

ing on the filament bulb developed
by Edison.
Closing of the thousands of dy-
namoS supplying electrical power

was regarded as impractical, be-
cause such action might cause death
This demonstration of the de-
pendence of the country upon cleo
trical current for its life and health
is in itself monument to Mr.. Edi-
sons genius" the President said in
his statement.
