ficials that the municipality must have it's money in if the tax rate is to be kept down and deficits avoided. At the same time, it was also pointed out, the city cannot continue to give work to persons out of unemployment unless the funds are available.
 In fairness to everybody, the city, property owners. and persons out of work, 1t was declared, everybody able to do so should make 1t a point to get in delinquent tax money so as to leave the way open for a clean slate on the 1881 mu- nicipal books and also to enable the city to carry on its plan of debt reduction and unemployment aid.
 In view of the depression, it was admitted today, the showing this year was very good, but it is far from what is necessary to assure the administration of meeting it's bills and closing with a successful record for 1881.
 The drive on automobile owners and holders of valuable personal property will be launched imme- diately. When this group has been cleaned up, steps to collect on de- linquent property owners are ex- pected to follow.

Bishop Cannon
 Delaying Trial

governable by an act of congress.
 Cannon appeared in court flank ed by five counsel and carrying his crutch. He entered rear door, ar irving before the door was unlock ed. He expressed fear of not find ing seat, but was assured a seat would be awaiting him.
 His counsel, Robert H. McNeill, was joined at the last minute by Harry W. Nice, of Baltimore, a prominent attorney, and former candidate for governor Nice, a re- publican, is the son of Methodist preacher.
 |. Filing of the demurrer is expect ed to have the effect of delaying the bishops trial.
 If the demurrer is sustained the case, in the usual order, will be thrown out of court. If it is denied after argument the bishop then can appeal to the district appellate court and to the United States su- preme court, and decisions must be rendered against him by those bodies before his case can be call ed for trial.
 As Cannon's cast came up, it was revealed at the office of United States District Attorney Leo A. Rover that testimony regarding contributions and expenditures of the Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment was being ex- amined by his staff.
 Mrs Jesse W. Nicholson of the National Women's Democratic Law Enforcement League charged in letters to the justice department and to Rover that the association had received a $5,00O contribution which they failed to report &C., cording to the corrupt practices act"

City To Start After Delinquents;
 Auto Owners First
Officials Believe Car Operators Can Afford to Pay Their Bills Others With Valuable Private PrOp- erty Also Due to Face Showdown

With approximately $s00,000 in taxes on the 1881 levy uncollected within the time prescribed by law, Tax Collector William A. Ennis to- day set about the task of tabulat- ing a record of all those in Water bury owning automobiles and other valuable private property with the aim in view of going after them to have settlement made at once. Realizing that the de- pression has hit property owners hard, Collector Ennis, 1t was point ed out this morning, feels that those who should first feel the brunt of city tax drive should be persons able to operate motor ve- hicles and owning valuable private property.
 The time for paying the 1881 taxes closed on Saturday. When the books were closed for October, though, 1t was estimated that about $800,000 had yet to be accounted for on the current years levy. To- day property owners little bit late continued to visit the tax col lector's office and it was figured that before nightfall possibly the better part of $100.000 might be received. This, though, will still leave the collection figure for 1881 far behind what it should be.

Troops of Japan
 Sent to Russia

(COnLlnueQ ITOLh 6d60 1sJ
 The Daily correspondent at Tokio reported that Japanese were threatening to advance northward from Kirin province because Chin. csc troops in northern Manchuria had defied a Japanese ultimatum to repair a damaged railroad bridge. The bridge was wrecked last week by Japanese aviators who said Chinese had fired on them. The ultimatum will expire tomorrow.
 Preparations were reported start ed at Mukden, the Manchurian cap ital, to send powerful Japanese force to unknown destinations It also was said Chinese were prepar- ing to seize the Japanese consulate at Tsitsthar, in northern Man. churia.
 The Daily Mail quoted a message from Port Arthur saying a secret Chinese Russian agreement had been reached, under which the Chinese government head. Chiang- Kai-Shek, undertook to resume diplomatic relations with Russia if Moscow promised not to interfere in affairs in inner Mongolia. The dispatch said some Chinese militar- ists were reported boosting they were not afraid of Japan because 50,000 Soviet troops were waiting to resist a Japanese advance.
 The Daily Mail correspondent said all Japan feared a clash with Soviet Russia was inevitable, and that Japan would not heed the league of nations demand to with draw occupation troops by Novem- Der 16.
 Another dispatch from Man churia said Chinese forces resist ing Japan in northern Manchuria were given Soviet military supplies, but later had decided to accept friendly terms with Japan and block the Russian railroad route

COMEDIAN JACK
 WILSON KILLED
 HIMSELF SUNDAY
Was to Have Opened in New Act in Boston The- ater To-day

New York, Nov 2-UP)- Jack Wilson, vaudeville blackface headliner who once starred with Kitty Gordon, was to have opened in a new act to-day in Boston. He was found dead yesterday in Ho- tel Antoinette where he had shot and killed himself, apparently breeding over the possibility the act might be a ''flop."
 Miss Frances Earle and John Patrick. who had parts in Wilson's new skit, found him lying across the bed in his room, with a .22- calibre pistol in his hand. He died later in Flower hospital. They said he had been in good health and apparently had money. Wilson usually appeared in blackface acts. Several years ago, during his act, he told his audiences that the the ater was doomed unless railroad fares were cut. He addressed com mittees of the California, Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri legislatures on the subject. He was about 40 years old.

 Adams said the per capita cost O. the American navy is $3.24 per year as against $6.21 for Great Britain, $3.3o for France, $2.08 for Japan, $1.S4 for Italy, and $.78 for Germany. The ratio of the naval budgets to national income was given as follows: United States .0043: Great Britain, .0148; Japan .0239: Italy, .0175; Germany, .00s9.
 Figures for Great Britain. France and Italy do not include the cost of air forces which though administered independently, oper- ate in conjunction with naval forces, whereas the American navy maintains it's own air services.

Creomulsion was made to deal with coughs and colds which hang on. A three-day cough is a danger signal. There the utmost should be done.
 But trifiing cough may develop in. to something deep and difhcuk. Don't you think it wise to use the utmost help, even if lesser help might do?
 Creomulsion combines seven major helps in one. The seven best helps known to medical science. One is best for one type of cough, one for others. Nobody can tell in advance. So tho best way seems to be to com. bine all in one prescription.
 Creosote stands first. Here 1t is blended, emulsi6ed and tasty. For sooth. ing membranes and combating cold germs, the world knows nothing better.

GREAT FRIEND OF BRITISH MINERS
 DEAD IN LONDON
Silver TOngued Conlrlul- ist Alfred James Cook Began in the Mine Pits

London. Nov 2.-(UP)-Alfred James Cook, the silver-tongued, communistic emperor" of Bri. tain's coal miners. who began his career in the blackness of a mine pit and years later organised the greatest strike in British history, died early today. He was 46 years old.
 Branded as a fanatical agitator, a "raving wrecker", a dangerous revolutionary and a relentless foe of mine owners, Cook lived a life of frensied activity after he had emerged as g labor organizer. He won scholarships, he served on government coal commissions, he went to jail. He was leader in the general strike of 1926 which cost the nation more than $4,000, ,0O0,- 900, still he could carry on a friendly conversation with the Prince of Wales and call the Bri- tish heir a fine fellow. But that 1926 strike finally wrecked Cook, although until his death he con- tinued to be general secretary of the Federation of Miners.
 He was the son or soldier. His early life was filled with military scenes, drilling and loyalty to king and country. He was extreme ly pious. He never abandoned his opposition to drinking and smoking. For 21 years Cook toiled underground in the mine pits. There he first was awak- ened to the need for organization of relief for miners and their families. A mine slide killed the man working next to him. He never forgot the shock of that vio- lent death or the tragedy in the miners home.
 He educated himself, joined the early movement for trade unions and, soon after his marriage, be- came a minor official of the union. Cook was violent in his language, relentless in his endeavor, a man miners liked and respected.

Meanwhile, a statement from @ high official of the navy league in- dicated that Gardiner will face pressure from within his own or- ganization to accede to the presi- dents request for an apology.
 Henry Breckinridge, prominent New York attorney, member of the leagues executive committee and formerly its president, disasso- ciated himself from the parts of Gardiner's statement which spoke with disrespect of the president of the United States" Gardiner had issued the statement in the name of the league.
 Previously MT Hoover. believing some in the navy were attempting to ssart backffre against his econ- omSos, threatened to carry his case to the American people.
 Adams apparently framed his own statement as an appeal to the country for it closed with this cryptic sentence:
 For the American standard of living, we have a comparatively inexpensive naval establishment, and 1t gives me pleasure to bring this fact to the attention of the American people in order that they may not be misled by confusing statistics haphazardIy interpreted
 Tn issuing his statement, Adams said his attention had been called to one by the world peace founda-. tion charging the United States with expending more than Great Britain on it's navy. He said this was misleading. The United States spent $375,291,82S in 1880 as against $349,927.670 by Great Brl- tain, Adams said, but he added this did not take into account the relatively higher cost of labor and materials in America, or the high CT naval pay.
 Tt is a matter of serious con- cern to the navy" Adams said, that organizations within the boundaries of our country, without seeking accuracy which would easily have been secured. interpret national defense statistics in a
