HENDERSON SAYS LABOR
 SUFFERED BAD SETBACK

LONDON, Nov. 5. (P) III Arthur Henderson, leader of the Labor party who was defeated in his own district, said in a message:
 "A shattering blow has been dealt at Labor in Parliament. This is. not the first time the electors have been duped on a grand scale, but what is astonishing is to find that the old electioneering deception has been utilized by men who in the past have been victims with us of wild and vile calumnies.
 Tt would be idle to deny that Labor has suffered a severe set back" he said

DEMOS STE PROBLEMS IF NATION FILING UP
 BEFORE THEIR EYES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5. (P) Obstacles which previously have oeen heaped on Republican shoul- ders have already began to pile up before the eyes of Democratic lead CTS who were flushed into power on the surging crest of Tuesdays $ election
 The victories of Harry Moore, ot New Jersey, and Judge Laffoon, Ill Kentucky, gave the Democratic party 27 of the AS governorships.
 With the prospective organization of the House and the elevation ot Representative Garner, Democrat Representative of Texas, to the speakership, the problems under the present House lineup were brought out.
 Not only will Garner be unop- posed in the securing of the speak ership but also 30 of the 46 chair nanships of standing committees will go to the Dixie Congressmen.
 Through seniority Il q future holding possibilities, the northern Democrats are eeking a more euuitable division of these cleo lion spells also.
 A rocky legislative trail is ahead for the Democrats if they retain the mayority as major economic problems are to be presented to Congress.
 Upon the organization of the House and with an equally divided Senate, the prohibition amendment will be subjected to test of It's strength. Leaders of both Houses indicated it was their intention to recall the Hawley Shoot tariff bill with floors calling for a general oyerhauling and downward re- vision.
 On the other hand, President Herbert Hoover faces Congress ot tae opposing party for the first -ime since the Wilson adminlstra- ton.

 Stokes was convicted of the mur- der, sentenced to death, but won a new trial and through the influence of w. M. Tweed escaped with a four-year prison term

FIGHTING PRECLUDES
 HOPE CHINA AND JAPAN
 PATCHING UP TROUBLES

TOKYO, Nov. 5. (P)-The Japan csc war office issued communique announcing that positive meas ures" have been decided on to cope with the threatening position fac ing the Japanese occupation troops at the Nonni River bridge in Man churia.
 Fifteen soldiers of the Japanese occupation troops were killed and many others wounded in a battle with Chinese forces there.
 The conlmuniQue also said that endorsements are being sent to the scene of the battle. Tokyo news papers announced that a mixed bri- gade of 4,000 troops are being sent by Japan to the occupied areas to replace the tired soldiers who are holding their positions.
 The fighting seemingly precluded all hope that China and Japan might patch up their troubles by November 16, which is the date set by the League of Nations for the withdrawal of the Japanese soldiers from the occuped areas.

CHINESE ARE STIRRED BY
 ANOTHER JAP BOMBING

SHANGHAI, Nov 4. (PD-Chinese circles here were stirred by reports that the city of Tungliao in north ern Manchuria had been lombard ed by Japanese artillery and ma chine guns Sunday.
 According to dispatches Japanese guns were mounted on armored trains which had been brought up from Supingkai over the Southern Manchurian Railway. The attack of the Japanese was said to have been aimed against Chinese troops under command of General Chang Hsu Shen, who favors the Ranking government.
 All sorts of rumOrs are impreg- mating this city. One report stated the Japanese are preparing to ex- tend their armed occupation of Manchuria 200 miles northward to the city of Harbin.
 Evidence gathered among Chin csc and foreign residents of Muk- den Manchurian capital, shows the Southern Manchurian Railway was never attacked by Chinese troops. It was this alleged attack which prompted Japanese to invade Man. churia.

gram in this respect is virtually COM
pleted. In commenting upon the diff
ferences between the education pro-
vided Catholics in their own parochial
schools and that provided them in nom
sectarian institutions, Archbishop Cur
ley declared:
Children of this generation are not
going to be made moral by laws, jails

fortunately the life-saver proves to
to be an impecunious merchant of
perishable theatrical productions,
who finding home to his liking
and wardrobe he can borrow from,
stays far beyond his welcome and
throws the household into consider
able confusion. Eventually he lures
che of the daughters of the family

her successfully among the Broad
