 The defeated Chinese militarist who opposed the Japanese at the Nonni river and later fled from Tsitsihar before the Japanese oc. cupation of the city has no muni- tions. His supplies are cut off.
 Ma took wireless set with him when he fled across the bitterly cold Manchurian plains to Tailun. With the wireless he communicate ed with Peiping and the outside world. He has been in easy com munication with Marshal Chang Hseuh-Liang, former overlord of Manchuria now in Peiping.
 "My future movements depend upon Chang's instructions" Ma told this correspondent.
 The general took ample funds with him from the Heilungkiang Provincial bank at .Tsitsihar. But he can't use them to replenish his exhausted ammunitions supply.
 Ma eagerly questioned the cor respondent regarding intervention of the league of nations council in the Manchurian dispute. His future appeared to depend on whether the Japanese could indi- rectly control the Harbin govern ment.
 According to my information, the Japanese did not advance north of Tsitsihar," Ma said.
 It was learned at Hailun that 1,50O Japanese troops had left Tsitsihar for Mukden.

St Paul, Minn, Nov 2S.-By the year 1880 every man, woman and child in America should possess ten thousand dollars apiece, says Harrison B. Fryberger, prominent Minnesota lawyer, in his new book, "The Abolition of Poverty" The average family of four persons should have a bank account of be- tween forty and fifty thousand dol- lars. The national wealth, predicts MT. Fryberger, may well aggregate by that time the staggering sum of two thousand billion dollars. 'st
 This is only possible if capitalism takes steps to-day; to preserve, it. self by eliminating the evils caus- ed by the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few men. A so- ciety based upon the personal own- ership of property is necessary condition of productive enterprise and industry, believes MT. Fryberg- CT, but such a society cannot exist if the abuses which capitalism has allowed to accumulate are per- mitted to continue. tt

The first book, '"The Aboli- tion of Poverty" taking for a title @ phrase from Hoover's campaign of 1928, was published this fall.
 "When 1t once becomes settled law that the policy of the nation is against the accumulation of great fortunes, our capitalists will not be guilty of the excesses they have practiced in the past" says Mir. Fryberger. Of the 8,652 estates filed for probate in 1929, aggregat- ing almost five billion dollars, 379, or four and a half per cent of the total number, were over million dollars in size and aggregated about a billion and a half dollars, or thirty-eight per cent of total. Six teen estates, or two-tenths of one per cent of all the estates, were over ten million each in size and amounted to twelve percent of the total, MT. Fryerberger found in his examination of estate statistics. These figures, he says, indicate the alarming tendency to concentrate in the hands of a comparatively few men the immense wealth of the country.

Rail Situation
 Check On Market
Otherwise Liquidation Appears to Have About Reached
 Its Lowest Level

New York, Nov 27.-The rail- way problem continues to be the foremost factor in determining the immediate future course of the market. There has been general disappointment because of the un- willingness of the employees who had been believed likely to take a more reasonable attitude, to con-' slider with seriousness the plight or. the roads and to consent to voluntary cut in wages that would enable the managers to balance their budgets with greater success than would otherwise be feasible. Lengthy red-tape delays of the kind so familiar in former arbitra- tions now offer the sole means by which the railroads can succeed in bringing about a further adjudica- ton of the issue between them ana the railroad brotherhoods. The gen. eral admission that railroad wages are too high relative to those of other groups in the economic com munity is made by practically all who are conversant with the situa- tion and who have instituted care ful comparisons between the wages Tn rdllTOduiHS diiu WooSS N.A
 similar occupations. There is,r hke- wise, abundant recognition on the part of all investors, bankers, em- ployes, and managers that the roads are in desperate need or some means whereby they can bring order into their depleted budgets; such depletion comes from the fact that they were worn down as a result of adherence to the suggestions, that came rom many sources, in favor of keeping nm expenditures and refusing to "iay off' large bodies of men who would otherwise have been drop- led as soon as business began 10 fall off to an extent that showed the likelihood of long continued industrial difficulty. Accordignly, the roads must now exhaust every legitimate means to obtain ver- dict from the community, on the question whether the carriers snalI continue to pay railway workers far more than any other classes or similar workers are paid ana Tar more than present railroad earn ings will safely permit.
 So long as there is seemingly well-founded talk of additional dividend reductions or omissions it is only natural that would-pe buyers should show little inclina- tion to purchase heavily. Neverthe-

(C0nttnued from Page 1.) Police found six whiskey bottles in the room and one, partly filled, was removed for analysis.
 Ina Claire, film star and the former wife of John Gilbert, who had been seen with Ames fre- asked by wire to describe the &C., tors mental condition. This re- quest from police was made after they learned Ames and Miss Claire talked to each other by long dis tance telephone between New York and Hollywood yesterday.
 Ames was born in Hartford, Conn, in 1889, and saw his first stage experience with a stock com pany. He made his first New York Success in Come Out of the Kit chen" with Ruth Chatterton in 1917. He appeared in several plays in the next few years, most of which had short runs. Ames made a decided hit in 1921 as the leading man for Francine Larri- more in "Nice People,.
 One of his greatest successes was in the part of Ben Jordan in the Pulitzer prize play "Icebound".
 Ames went to Hollywood in 1925 and shortly after attained success as a film player. There he was known as "The Perennial Juve- nile." Blond and handsome, he was popular in Hollywood society
 Ames was married four times His last wife, Helen Oakes Ames, divorced him 8 year ago, charged "sulkiness and bad temper" They had two children, Robert, Jr and Jane.
 Thursday night Ames was visit ed by his father, Louis Ames, of Hartford, Conn, and Allen Fagin. Miss Claire's brother. The three had Thanksgiving dinner and they left together to take the elder Ames to the station, where he boarded a train for home. Fagin told police that the actor left him at the station with the laughing assertion:
 i've got to go back to the hotel. I've got a date with one of my for mer wives"
 Ames did not mention which one of his four former wives he meant. Fagin said.
 A telegram found in his room from Hollywood read:
 Darling, am necessarily de- layed. Ina"
 It was understood at the hotel that Miss Claire was to have left for New York Thursday.

HERE'S LATEST IN ROCKET
 DESIGN

Canabruck, Germany.-Many are the types of rockets devised in this country, the chief experimenter in this line of propulsion. The latest Is a type of rocket glider.
 The rocket model has wings and is placed in starting position with its wings folded back close to the fuselage so that resistance is reduc- cd to a minimum during its up- ward fight.
 When the peak of its upward momentum is reached, the wings of the rocket automatically extend outward and adjust themselves to glider position. From this time on the model g1ides down along Q normal gliding path just like an ordinary glider.

made in Manchuria were quite misleading"
 The foreign office said Japan "never expressed regret to anybody for actions forced on her by sheer necessity of self-preservation nor can she ever promise not to act in elf-defense again."
 The statement was read to for eign correspondents at the regular afternoon press conference at the foreign office by S. Shiratori, chief of the intelligence bureau and con tact man with the foreign press.
 BY MILES w. VAUGHN United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Tokio, Nov 2S.-(UP)-Gene Sheguri Honjo, commander of the Japanese forces in Manchuria, yielded to the government today in in a qualified agreement to with draw his forces from the area around Chinchow.
 Gen Honjo in a statement issued at Japanese headquarters at Muk- den, agreed to withdraw as soon as possible but reserved the right to resume operations whenever he it necessary.
 His decision was expected to re- move the immediate danger of a clash with Chinese troops at Chin chow, but was construed here largely as being for foreign con- wiht a view of facilitating negotiations by the league of na- tions council at Paris.
 It did not mean any withdrawal of Japanese troops inside the Manchuria railway zone, which was considered impossible until the Chinese were able to guarantee safety of Japanese life and property.
 Gen Honjo apparently yielded to imperial orders and was expected to reverse his policy of acting on his own judgment, as he appar- ently did in ordering a southern advance from Mukden yesterday.
 Previous instructions from the had ordered Gen Hon. 1O LO CodSo tuc huNdASO to"oAN VI Chinchow begun yesterday from Mukden and to limit his operations to defensive action. The com- mander agreed, then and later an- nounced the decision to withdraw his troops.
 The government reiterated the declaration that Chinchow would not be occupied at present.
 Chinese and Japanese forces are only 15 miles apart north of Chin chow. The Japanese troops were rushed southward from Mukden by train. After encounters With Chinese armored trains, the Japan ese halted for the night at Yang chauantze, 30 miles from Chin chow.
 Chinese troops from Chinchow advanced northward 15 miles to meet the Japanese, then halted at the Taling-Ho river.
 The Japanese continued to con- trol the Peiping-Mukden railroad from Paichipao to Mukden, while the Chinese held possession of the line from Chinchow to Tahusan.
 It was reported here that Jap anese armored trains were forced to halt southwest of Paichipao be- cause Chinese soldiers had torn up the tracks. Considerable Japanese were reported in the between Japanese and

men were to-day told that they were driving the nation at a terrif- icaspeed toward communism, they would resent the accusation. Yet such a warning would not be an cxaggeration. All that would be necessary to convert America into a communistic nation would be the continuation of the tendencies of the present capitalistic regime.
 ''To-day America is dominated by capitalism just as completely as were the American colonies by Great Britain in 177O, as was France by the Bourbons in 1780, as was China by her emperor and his advisers in 1910, as were Germany, Austria and Turkey by their em- porers and ruling classes in 1913. In America we find the same exag- gerated ego in capitalism that was found in the autocratic rulers of the empires just described at the time these respective monarchs were at the height of their power"
 Drastic increases in the taxes on incomes and inheritances, MT Fry berger believes, would not only cure the basic evil of capitalism, the unjust distribution of wealth, but would stimulate trade and bring about a steady prosperity.

FAMED BUFFALO
 BROUGHT END
 OF BIG RANCHES
Burning of Prairie Grass Death Knell for
 Cattle BarOnS

Great Falls, Mont, (UP)-The great herds of buffalo which once roamed the western plains, were indirectly responsible for the breaking up of the great cattle ranches of Montana.
 Hunters by the score slaughtered the shaggy beasts for their fur during the first half of the 18th century. They left the skinned carcasses of the animals lying on the ground where the kill was made unless the hunter happened to be out of meat, then he cut away the tongue and thehump of the animal.
 Later when the Unian Pacific railroad was being built, buffalo meat came into demand to feed the thousands of daborers. Soon the prairies almost became cov- cred with the white bones of the slaughtered buffalo.
 A settler happened to think that the bones could be utilized as fer tilizer and hired Indians to col- lect them. The Indians were paid $4 for collecting a wagon load of bones and delivering them to the nearest railroad shipping point. Soon bone gathering became one of the principal industries of the west.
 After a time it became difficult for the Indians to find a large sup ply of bones easily and some bone hunter conceived the idea of burn ing off thre long prairie grasses to make the bones more visible.
 The burning off of the grasses sounded the death knell of the cattle baron because he depended on the sun cured hay to feed his thousands of cattle during the winter months.
 The lack of winter feed conn pelled the cattle men to ship their stock to ranges where there was adequate feed. The price of cattle was so low that the cost of trans- portation consumed the small margin of profit on the low grade range cattle with which the ranches were stocked, consequently the Montana cattleman was compelled to turn to smaller herds of better quality cattle.

Call Falls On siis~s Deaf Ears At Green St. Hall
March" Proves Ride in Trucks But BrOONynites Fail
 to Show Enthusiasm Caravan Due in Hartford
 and New Britain Next Wednesday-New England Browns on Idea

"The United Front Hunger March Conference" is the official title of the organization sponsor ing a Coxey's army march on Washington to demand from con- gress unemployment insurance and immediate cash winter relief" It Is interesting to note that the hun ger-march applicants in Hartford have outlined the route of parade and have included in their state ment that a stop will be made Wednesday noon at the town line of Hartford. It will be time out for lunch.
 "It is obvious that. this group is aligned with the communist ele- ment, and that the hunger march, insofar as Hartford is concerned, is a mere pretense," said Mayor Patterson, adding: Hartford has demonstrated and will continue to demonstrate that 1t is capable of taking care of it's own. AS long as I am mayor-which won't be long now-I intend to keep our name unsullied."
 The petition sets forth that when the hunger march reaches Hart ford 1t will consist of from seven to 10 trucks, carrying from 50 to 60 marchers. The proposed parade line Is along the Connecti- cut boulevard to Front street, to Charter Oak avenue, to Main street to Park street, to Laurel street, to Capitol avenue to Main street, to Windsor street.
 The police department has granted a permit for the process sion to stop at Windsor and Main streets, at 12:30 p. m. for a meet ing. Then the projected line of March is to Albany avenue, to Main street, to Retreat avenue, to New Britain avenue, to the city line, with g. stop at 27 Albany avenue for lunch. The party will then head southward.
