leyee Monday noon. His shotgun
fell against a tree few inches from
the levee and exploded, tearing
away part of his head
The gun lay near Mines body,
and his cap was hurled several
yards by the guns blast.
The body was found by Horace
Weddle, R. R. 4, Box 451-B, and his
father, McAllen Weddle, who joined
score of farmers and deputy
sheriffS in the search which started

Horace Weddle was a member of

farmland in the district were
searched, but the hunt was aban-

CONGRESS WILL
ACT ON TARIFF
Bill Will Pass at Present
Session, Says Garner.
BIZ United Press

By Unfted Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Speaker
John N. Garner said today that
he expected congress to pass a tariff
bill at the present session, but he
declined to specify its nature. Demo-
Gratis have not formulated a def
mite tariff program, he added.
Gamers forecast of tariff legis-
lation followed announcement by
Chairman Collier of the ways and
means committee, that the commit
tee would consider a bill for limited
revision after it completes a tax
measure. Tariff bills must originate
in the house.
The Speaker reiterated that the
tariff, as well as taxes, would be
considered at a meeting of the joint
policy committee of senate and
house Democrats next week.
The policy committee, he explained,
is merely a means of co-ordinating
activities of house and senate
Democrats on important issues, and
has no authority to bind any one.
All but few Democrats are OPP
posed to a general revision of the
Hawley- Smoot tariff at this time,
because of the uncertainty of world
business and because of the national
elections next fall.
Such general revision would be a
long drawn-out, tedious process and
could not be done properly at this
session, which will end early in June.

ManChurian Conquest Will
Drive Wedge Between
Foes of Nippon.
By Times Special


GREENCASTLE, Ind, Dec. 90
Japan'S military chiefs regard wal
with Russia as inevitable, according
to G.. Bromley Oman, president OF
De Paw university, who returned
to Greencastle Christmas ever after
trip to Japan.
Therefore, OMAN said, the wal
lords reason that, in the interest OF
national defense, Japan must drive
a wedge to the north, conquering
Manchuria, thus separating China
and Russia.
This policy of defense actually
is one of agresSion,' Oman pointed
out.
The De Paw president toured
Japan with an American commits
sion making an educational survey
of Japan. Mrs. Oman accompanied
him.
Opposition to Policy
Others in the party included Miss
Ruth F. Woodsmall, graduate OF
Shortridge high school, an expert on
near east problems; DR.. Frank
Padleford and DIR. Edward Rynear-
son. They visited eighty eight col
leges and universities in Japan.
While the Japanese people are
backing the Manchurian enterprise
nevertheless there is strong senti-
ment opposed to policies that will
ALLEVIATE world friendship" asserted
Oman.
I'VE must seek to strengthen
these groups, cooperate in the
league investigation, and use to the
full extent the force of world opin-
ion before any economic sanctions
are authorized"
Oxnam's opinion is that the Man
churian situation is too complex to
predict the future, but, he said: 1T
would appear that if peaceful solu-
ton fails, we may witness the out
break of another world conflict"
Determined on Conquest
There is one aspect of the pres
ent crucial situation that has not
appeared in the press" according
to Oman.
Early in December a japanese
general addressed the heads of
schools in the Toxic section. Sim
liar meetings were held throughout
the empire.
I'm each of the schools, military
training is a part of the curriculum
and it is due to this fact that the
military assumed the right to adj
dress the responsible heads of edu-
cational institutions.
THE general said in substance,
Our minds are made up. We are
going through with this Manchurian
matter.
Predicts Russian War
I'm 1886 the Washington naval
treaty expires. Until that time, we

After that, we de not know what

The f1ve-year plan of Russia will
