Cold Shoulder

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, Sept. 22.-Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover received
what even ardent Republicans
in Detroit characterized as a
cold reception" here Monday.
On his trip from the railroad
station to the American Legion
convention hall, where he de-
livered his address, he was
greeted by undemonstrative
crowds.
He received applause at the
legion convention, but it was
not an enthusiastic acclaim
such as the legionnaires gave
to Calvin Coolidge at Boston
last year. On his return trip
to the station, Hoover passed
through attentive, but inarticu-
late throngS.

HEWITT STAYS
AS STATE JOB
RELIEF CHIEF
Existing Organization Will
Remain in Charge, With
New One Helping.
PROGRAM is OUTLINED
Leslie Returns From Visit
to Hoover and Gives
Out Plans.

Dr. John w. Hewitt will remain
head of Indiana unemployment re-
lief, and the old state organization
and the new one, of which Warren
Fairbanks is director, are expected
to cooperate.
This was the program announced
by Governor Harry G. Leslie today,
upon his return from a weekend
spent with President Herbert
Hoover, where unemployment re-
lief for Indiana was discussed.
That it is the Presidents plan
to use existing state organizations
for relief also was stressed in let
ter to the Governor from Walter
S. Clifford, head of the Hoover COM
mission of which Fairbanks is a
member and Indiana appointee.
In the letter to the Governor,
Clifford inclosed one sent Fairbanks,
in which this idea of cooperation
and coordination was emphasized.
Program Is Outlined
1t outlined three points for the
national commissioners to follow in
carrying out their programs in the
states. They are:
l. Aid collection of relief funds.
2. Assist in administration of re-
lief funds.
3. Extend employment as much as
possible.
Go for Tfoirho,,lye hoe boo,o ,-,a..1-
ing with a newspaper organization,
built up by himself.
The state committee, of which
Hewitt is director, with title of sec
rotary, has been organized in all
counties for more than a year and
actually has provided jobs.
Will Continue Work
That it will continue to contribute
this important bit and that unem-
ployment relief also will be one of
the principal points of the highway
maintenance program was asserted
by the Governor today.
We will retain the old organiza-
ton, and the new will cooperate
with the DID," Governor Leslie de-
clared. This matter of cooperation
is very important, and there should
be no wrangling about appointment
OF personnel and similar powers.
Il intend to confer with Fair
banks about the program and am
sure that it will be worked out for
the greatest benefit to the needy
and to care for the unemployed"
Another of Gifford's instructions
to state representatives on the Hoo
yer commission was for them to
consult with their Governors and
offer any possible assistants to the
existing organizations for relief.

LEAGUE MOVES
/. TO CURB WAR
IN MANCHURIA
Commission Is Ordered to
Make Hurried Survey
and Report.
LOOK TO U. S. ACTION
Chinese Plea to Block
Invasion by Japan
Is Heard.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. 22.-The League
of Nations, facing a test of its
power to enforce peace among men,
bers moved swiftly today to prevent
further hostilities between China
and Japan in Manchuria.
The council hastily evolved a
scheme to dispatch a commission,
composed of the military attaches
of various neutral powers, to the
scene of the trouble, empowered to
make a survey and report on the
proposed immediate withdrawal of
Japanese troops from Chinese ter
ritory.
The impression grew as the ses-
sion proceeded that further develop
ments hinged on the attitude of the
United States.
The project, suggested by Lord
Robert Cecil of Great Britain, en-
visageS a commission composed of
the United States military attache
at Marking and the British, French
and Italian military attaches and
the German consul, all at Mukden.
Seizure Is Charged
The council intends to transmit
the minutes of its deliberations to
the United States
DR. Sac Ke Alfred SEE, Chinese
minister to London and chief of
the Chinese delegation to the
league, charged Japan with seizure
and occupation of part of the Peping
railway, seizure of many Chinese
officials, transfer of the Japanese
military staff into Mukden, and
heavy destruction of life and prop
erty.
He gave the latest casualties as
600 Chinese killed and charged that
1000 were held prisoner.
SEE was the first diplomat to ar
rive. He carried a large number
of kilograms and several papers.
Denies War Intention
Kenkichi YoShiwaza, Japanese
ambassador to Paris and represent
alive on the league council, arrived
late. His pale, thin face was ex-
pressionless. He looked tired, but
was smoking huge cigar, as usual.
He went to his seat and remained
there until the meeting convened.
Yoshiwaza, speaking to a tense
audience, declared that Japan did
not intend to wage war on China.
He said that China just had pro-
posed direct negotiations with
Japan with a view to settlement
of the Manchurian conflict. The
proposal, he said, was well re-
ceived" in Toxic.
Disregarding the Chinese insist
ence on the councils immediate in
tercession, Yoshiwaza demanded
that further discussion be post
poned until the next meeting.

ECONOMIC FARLEY


What is the Gold Stand
ard?"
The world faces no problem
today of more vital Importance
than the British financial
crisis. On Monday the Brit

gold standard of payment.
What does that mean to the

and unfathomable as a Sans
krit manuscript.
On page Is of this edition is
a clear explanation of what
gold standard means. Read it
and you'll understand more
about the British problem.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 29.-The jim
vasion of Manchuria was called a
premeditated act of aggression by
the Japanese government, in a reso-
luton adopted here by meeting
of representative Chinese leaders,

Unless the Kellogg pact can curb

HARRISON, it is said, demanded his
wages to date, including money
owed him by the johnson company,
before the latter went into the
hands of a receiver.
Failing to receive either, HARRISON
drove his truck in front of the con-
crete mixer and paving machine
and defied any one to move it.
Others Join Strike
Contractors called Rockville au-
thorities who threatened HARRISON
with arrest. He demanded they
produce a warrant.
When officers threatened to OBJ
tain a warrant, other truck drivers
moved their trucks in line with
Harbison's and told authorities to
"get warrants for us, too"
Roy Dennison, president of the
Indiana Road Paving Company,
general contractors for the road
project, came to indianapolis and,
according to Brown, told him the
road work was at a standstill.
Later, state police are said to
have threatened the strikers with
arrest if they did not move their
trucks from the highway.
Demand Their Money
The men replied: 'Pay us our
money and we gladly will get off
the road" it is reported
Involuntary bankruptcy proceed
ings were on file today in federal
court against the Johnson COM
pany. The action was brought by
the Hadley-Mahoney Company
Acme Radiator Company and Auto
Equipment Company. and asks ap-
pointment of receiver.
The companies allege the Johnson
firm owes them past accounts to-
falling $515.
Brown said today he could not
see how truck drivers could be ar
rested for blocking the road, be-
cause it is not a public travelled
road, but a project under construc-
| ton.
He said he was not familiar with
action the highway commission
could take in the controversy.
Brown said he believed the men
were ''unduly alarmed that they
would not get their money" because
the general contractor was re-
sponsi,le for every cent of labor
from the time the job began.
He said he believed the men
should be given something to tide
them over, pending settlement.
Dennison, according to Brown
claimed that records of back wages
due the men previous to Aug. 81
when the Indemnity Company be-
gan paying workmen, were in such
a jumbled condition that it was
difficult to tell who has money
coming and who has not and how
much"
Wants Work Finished
Brown said he wants the roac
work continued.
If the weather breaks, there
is little chance of the road being
completed this fall" Brown said.
Andrew Alexander Jr., operator Of
a fleet of trucks on the road, to-
day said he had been notified Mon
day by his men that they were on
strike in sympathy with HARRISON.
Alexander, who has several thou
sand dollars coming from the John
son company and its receivers, said
he would make no effort to have his
men enter the role of strike break
erS.
Six truck drivers from Indian
apolis sent out by the Sun company
Monday refused to go to work after
they learned there was a strike
Some of them said johnson still
owed them money for work on the
War Memorial project last winter

Hope Voiced That Crisis
May Help to Bring SoIu-
ton in Financial TangIe.
By United Press

Out of Great Britain'S decision to
suspend the gold standard may
come, "a new era' in international
financial relations, with closer CO.
operation to solve the worlds
economic problems, experts pre-
dicted today.
An international conference seek
ing to end the unsettled. condition
of foreign finances through reds
tribution of the worlds gold, was
under consideration in London.
Such conference also would at
tempt to solve such problems as war
debts, PREPARATIONS and disarmament,
all of which affect present-day con-
ditionS.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip
Snowden, in two speeches, urged
the calling of an international
meeting to end the "diSlocation of
gold reserves under which IS per
cent of the worlds supply has been
amassed by France and the United
States.
OU-OpCTdtlOn rs ElcuScu
From various Washing
ton, Berlin, Geneva-came demands
for friendly cooperation. In Paris
the government indicated its desire
to give whatever aid is required to
support Great Britain's position.
]. P. Morgan, in London, an
nounced his belief that the British
governments action was "a step in
the right direction" American
financial experts echoed Morgan'S
words.
The staid house of lords exceed
ed all Britain'S speed records Mon
day when the gold standard bill
was passed through its three stages
in the record parliamentary time
of two minutes. The measure was
not debated and was approved with
out vote.
The bill was received from the
house of commons at 1888 p. m.
and approved at IL p. m. The royal
commission sat and gave assent to
the bill before 11:10 p. m.
The house of commons also set a
parliamentary speed record in
dispoSing of the gold standard bill.
The measure was received at 4
p. m, was debated and passed in all
stages by 1885 p. m, and sent to
the house of lords three minutes
later.
Commons Works Fast
The London Stock Exchange,
which has been closed for two days
during the gold crisis, will be re-
opened Wednesday.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange
reopened today after being closed
Monday.
The Berlin Bourse will remain
closed today and Wednesday.
Financial quarters doubted whether
the bourse would open Thursday.
Brazil adopted the dollar instead
Of the pound sterling today as the
basis for exchange.
I'm view of the instability of
sterling, we had to put exchange
on dollar basis" Correa Castro,
director of the Bank of Brazil, said.
The Greek government decided
today to close the Athens Bourse
for five days, owing to a continued
fall of stocks.
The Brussels Bourse, closed Mon
day, viii be reopened today.
An authoritative outline of adj
ministration opinion indicated to-
day that Great Britain's abandon
ment of the gold standard is ex-
<pected considerably to improve
British conditions and eventually
to benefit the United States.
First natural result of the. new
policy expected by this government
would be an increase in British
commodity prices. Reports that
dairy prices had increased were re-
ceived from London today

Murder for Books.

BD Times Special
/ DWELL, Ind, Sept. 22.-Mur-
IL der is parsed today in whis-
pers in Latin at the Lowell high
Echool.
Geometrical triangles are drawn
with blod-red "s-s-'s, amt that
too bad about Perry?"
While in jail cell, a 15-year-old
boy lies in a bunk awaiting trial
Tor Staying because he wanted
school books like those that hide
the whispers in Latin and geom-
etry classes.
The boy is Perry Swank Jr., Is.
He killed Eugene Duckworth, SO,
filling station proprietor.
Now, the books Perry wanted
have pretty triangles in them
marked "A, B, c" or maps of GauI
and its division into three parts"
The lettered lines of the tri-
angles, however, deal naught of
what you should do if you haven't
money to buy books to go to
school.
And the division of Gaul does
not deal with Perrys unemployed
father and his inability to buy
books for. Perry.
GO here's why murder is parsed
~ on lips today in Lowell's high
school.
It's why, after twelve hours of
battling off detectives with i'm
mature evasions, Perry confessed,
Il robbed his filling station be-
cause / needed money for school
books. He resisted. 1 had to kill
him."
Perry was just boy before this
happened. Deviltry sure Just the
same kind of watermelon-steal
meanness we all got into as young
sterS.
He was a sophomore at the Low
ell school. He played football. He
wasn't stare like the Dick Merri-
well of fiction fame, but just one
who could run, and boot the ball
whenever necessary.
Perry needed books to attend
school this fall. His dad didn't have
the money. He took chance and
got a generous merchant to extend
him credit so he could get the
books to attend school.
The bill worried him.
CUNDAY he took his fathers
~ gun and walked three miles
to Duckworth's filling station. He'd
get that money to pay the bill he
owed for books.
1T was the easiest place 1 coulu
think of to hold up" he explained
to detectives. =
The filling stationed owner knew
him. Perry knew he'd been town
marshal.
Duckworth tried to grab the
boys gun.
Il told him to hold up his hands.
He was spunky. So had to kill
him." cried the boy.
Rif1ing the dead mans clothing,
he obtained $40. A motorist picked
him up a short distance from the
station.
Where are you going?" the mo-
torist asked.
Church." replied the boy.
Maybe it was the first thing
Perry thought Of but he got out
at the church. He went inside.
Evening services were under way
His hand dug deep in his pocket,
clasping the $40 in money.
Blood of the lamb" sang the
choir.
The bills in his hands impaired
