MARION KNITTING
KILLER CAUGHT
Quarrel With HouSekeeper
Cause of Tragedy.
BIZ United Press


MARION, Ind, Sept. 23-Wallace
Teal, 35, was being guarded in the
jail of an adjoining county today,
charged with the fatal Stabbing of
Mrs. Anna Galbreath, 30, his house
keeper, and shooting her mother,
Mrs. Lucy Lloyd, SO. Teal, captured
three hours after the tragedy, was
rushed out of Grant county as a
precautionary measure.
Police believe that Teal became
angered because Mrs. Galbreath
planned to leave him today and go
to live with her mother. The wom-
en- were cleaning their prospective
home when Teal entered.
After Stabbing Mrs. Galbreath,
according to police reports, he OBJ
tanned a shotgun and fired at Mrs.
Lloyd as she fled from the house.
Several slugs pierced her back.
Physicians said the injuries prob
ably would be fatal.
Teal was captured in a building
near his home. He offered no re-
sistance.
Police believe that the return of
Earl Galbreath, Mrs. Galbreath's
husband, from the Indiana state
prison, also melted Teal against his
housekeeper.
Mrs. Galbreath leaves her hus-
band and two children. Teal has
six children.

ROAD STRIKERS
ARE GIVEN PAY
Wages Forthcoming as 200
Stage WaIkout.
BY DICK MILLER

After working for months with
out pay and living in tents and
shacks, nearly 200 workmen on
state road So today found them
selves with money in their pockets
and ambition to carry on.
Payment of long due wages came
suddenly Tuesday afternoon after
truck drivers had walked away from
their work in a strike that marked
weeks of dissatisfaction, suffering
and pickering.
G. H. Hiatt, representative of the
Sun Indemnity Company, holding
the bond on the defunct William
c. johnson Trucking Company, paid
majority of the workers wages that
have been due them from April to
Aug. 81.
Financial supports of the con-
struction work crumbled several
weeks ago with the receivership and
bankruptcy action of the trucking
firm which had hired many of the
men, and involved other subcon-
tractors who declined to let go of
their funds pending the money
difficulties.

nese troops, the real cause leading
to the invasion of China by the
the japanese army was the fact
that some Japanese ''hot-headed"
Junior officers acted on their own
initiative and precipitated the
clash, because they took exception
to the weakened policy" of
their superior officers and their
government in the northeastern
provinces of China.
Recall Outrage of 1915
1t is the firm conviction of
the undersigned that Japan is
trying today what it did in 1915.
When the nations of the west
were struggling in the throes of
the World war, Japan imposed
the infamous "twenty-one de-
mandS'' upon China.
While the nations of the west
today are confronting serious
problems affecting their economic
stability, and while China is pre-
occupied with the work of pro-
viding relief for the millions of
starving victims of the recent
floods, and with the conduct of
campaigns toward suppression
of cornmunistic avtivities, Japan
again takes advantage of China's
misfortune and preoccupation to
attempt the annexation of long
coveted territory belonging to a
friendly neighbor.
Violation of Kellogg Accord
The systematic and sudden at
tack upon and occupation of an
extensive area of Chinese terri
tory by Japan's armies is con-
elusive and irrefutable evidence
of a premeditated plan of con-
quest by Japan, which bellies the
Japanese excuse that their action
was provoked by an alleged Of
Tense which has taken three forms
in two days.
