Chinese armored trains.
 Japanese motor scouts who pre- ceeded the main body of troops reached Koupangstu, south Of Pal chipao, but returned to the maiI Japanese concentration.
 Official circles said that Aristidt Briand's threat to invoke sanctions under the league of nations coven- ant in the event that the Jap. anese occupied Chinchow was "un- fortunate" because it indicated nc confidence in Japan's repeated dec laration that Chinchow would no, be occupied.
 If the suspicious of the league are causing the strengthening o1 the resolution from a commission of inquiry to be sent to Manchuria Japan is prepared to reject the resolution because the government will not tolerate suspicion of Ja- pans honesty.
 Jap Troops Rushed

o'clock this morning all efforts to open the vault where all avail able cash was stored failed. Even the most experienced clerk was puzzled. AS patrons of the bank commenced to file in the officials met the situation by sending repre- sentatives to nearby banks for a loan" There were thousands of dollars available at a minutes mo- tice. There was no confusion and no delay. t
 An official of the bank later stated that someone apparently made a slight error in setting the time lock or had lover wound" it.. The lock was expected to click and open the door later in the day.

Father Conlon is the son of MT and Mrs Thomas Conlon of 71 Clinton street, a graduate of St MarY's parochial school and Crosby high school, Acquinas College in Co., lumbus, Ohio. He completed his philosophical and theological studies at the Catholic university in Washington, D. c. He received degrees of doctor of letters and li- centiate in cannon law. He was named an army chaplain and com missioned a captain during the World war. Three years ago Father Conlon was named superior of the Western Mission Band of the Dominican Order with head quarters in Chicago, but his more recent honors have carried him on important missions to all parts of the country. He is expected to lead 8 pilgrimage to Ireland next year.
 Philadelphia papers featured last Sundays gathering and devoted considerable space with pictures to the presence of Cardinal Dougher- ty and Father Conlon. The na- tional director appealed for re- turn to the security and consola- tion of religion to Save America from the brink of moral ruin" and destruction of its civilization.
 "The foundations of home life were weakening under vicious at tacks and industry was demoral- ized because of the demands of certain precepts of the Decalogue had been discarded as old fashioned, Father Conlon declared in part of his address.
 "To solve these problems con- fronting us leaders in religion, edu- cation, economy and politics are crying solutions to a frenzied peo- pie, and the puzzled people finds it has been fooled again and again by a shadow and an illusion," he said.
 "A nations life can never rise above the religious standards of the masses. The life of a people cannot be virtuous and fruitful in the highest degree unless it re- fleets the teachings of Christian morality.
 "Let our national prosperity be what it may, let our intellectual life be developed to the highest acumen, let our esthetic sense be refined to the last degree-unless our lives be molded and inspired by the ethical teachings of Christ, we shall be but a decandent people doomed to perish from the earth"

 The charges in the indictment allege unlawful procurement of fraudulent re-entry permits, con- spring to procure and dispose of them, conspiring to aid in fradulent naturalization proceedings, subor- nation of perjury and conspiracy to smuggle aliens into the United States.
 Others indicted include:
 Manuel O. Martens, Newark, N. J., immigration consultant, for merly secretary to the Portuguese consul general.
 Albert F. Borelli, the Bronx, naturalization clerk, Ellis Island; Edward Burns, naturalization clerk Ellis Island; Simon Rothberg, clerk, U. s. immigration service: Anthony Allocca, formerly em- ployed in the offices of the Amer ican consul general in Naples, Italy.
 The indictments were the cul- imitation of several months inves- tigation conducted under supervi- sion of United States Attorney George z. Medalie, and Assistant Secretary of Labor Murray w. Garrson.
 Medalie said that two of those indicted furnished Rothberg with information as to the date of ar- rival, steamship and descriptions of aliens, so that Rothberg could use this information as a means for carrying out reentry frauds.
 This was done in connivance of steamship agents and immigration consultants," Medalie added. "The persons seeking a reentry permit would generally be one who had never been in the United States be- fore or stowaway illegally here, a deaerting seaman or a visitor who had illegally Overstayed his leave."

Na A call for volunteers for a hunger march" was sounded last evening at meeting in Green street hall, but the call fell on deaf ears. No official assurance for food, entertainment and proper wearing apparel could be given so the audience decided that it was too cold to ride in trucks to Wash ..ington with the possibility of either ssbeing arrested en. route or com peiled to walk back home.
 The meeting here was called in connection with New England l wide campaign to stage a demon- stration in Washington. Local delegates if any should volunteer are to report in New Britain next Wednesday.
 A proposed Hunger March" of representatives of workers organ aizations from Boston to Washing ton where a demonstration is to be staged for the benefit of congress" is meeting with opposition through out New England. The process sion is scheduled to reach Hart ford next Wednesday. Mayor Bat sterson, who relinquishes office to | Mayor -elect Rankin, a democrat, next Tuesday has issued a state- ment denouncing the demonstra- tion and has positively refused to lend approval in any form by sanctioning a permit.
 It is possible that the process sion, a caravan of trucks, may pass through Waterbury after visiting New Britain. No request has been received here for a permit for a parade. If an application is made it is expected that Mayor Frank Hayes and Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean will ignore 1t. The trucks of course will be per- imitted to pass through the city, but whether a permit will be grant, ed to allow the participants to

ONE COUSIN IS SUING ANOTHER
 FOR ISLANDER
Mrs Mary Emma Calhoun Sues Mrs Edith Kane Baker, Wife of New York Banker

New York, Nov 28 - (U. P.) - A $500,O00 suit for islander was filed in supreme court to-day against Mrs Edith Kane Baker, wife of George F. Baker, Jr, chair man of the First National Bank, by her cousin, Mrs Mary Emma Calhoun.
 Mrs Calhoun alleges according to the complaint filed to-day, that at various times between January 1929 and January 1881 Mrs Baker called her a "drug addict" and told friends that "she is a liar and is not to be trusted"
 These statements, Mrs Calhoun's complaint alleged, caused her to be "shunned by acquaintances and friends in society and has brought suffering and great pain and anguish as a result"

less it may be a fair inquiry whether stock quotations have not been cut to such low figure, that there is little chance of further material shrinkage no matter what the developments may be in this direction. Liquidating movements have been so long in progress and brokers loans have been so large ly reduced there would seem to be little likelihood of much more un- loading of stocks. In fact, the evil dence is rather to the effect that, under cover of apparently discour-- aging conditions, a good deal of quiet accumulation is proceeding. This, at least, ought to be borne in mind by those who are dis posed to remain aloof hoping for still further drastic reductions.

 FISH BUSINESS
Rhode Island and Conn
 Fishermen Are Going to Organize Against Them

Mystic, Conn, Nov 2S-(U. P)- Rhode Island and Connecticut Fishermen supplying Sea food to the Fulton Market in New York have organized to fight racketeers who, they say, demand a "cut" in their profits. At the suggestion of J.. H. Lawrence of New London, 200 fishermen formed the Southern New England Fishermen's Asso- citation here yesterday.
 The fish shippers had been told they would have to stop their trucks at a 125th street terminal in New York instead of driving di- rectly to the market. At the ter minal New York drivers would take charge, exacting a ''service charge" of 75 cents a barrel for the remainder of the trip. Later the demand was reduced to 25 cents a barrel.
