Bars Patched Up Peace
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press stan Correspondent,

TOXIC, Nov. 17.-Japan will ac-
cept nothing less than a complete
settlement of her disputes with
China as an outcome of the Man
churian conflict. She is believed
playing for high stakes.
A patched up" accord bv the
League of Nations council in Paris
will not be acceptable to the govern
ment, it was emphasized today.
Japan will not tolerate restoration
OF the status quo in Manchuria.
which would mean the return of
Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang to
power as an ally Of China.
The agent at Harbin of General
Ma Chan-Shan, Chinese command
er, informed the Japanese consul
that General Ma was accepting the
Japanese ultimatum demanding re-
tirement of Chinese troops and ces-
sation of hostilitieS by Nov. 25, on
threat of effective measures" by the
Japanese army.
Government Doubts Word
The government, however, said it
was mot convinced" of the au-
thenticity of the agents statement
and believed General Ma was at
tempting to gain time.
The government sent new instruc-
tions to it's representative, Ken
kichi Yoshizawa, at the league
council, telling him to make another
effort to deliver the speech outlin-
ing Japan's position, which is not
believed to be clear at present.
Otherwise, he was instructed to pub
1ish the speech in the Paris press.
The speech, pledging withdrawal
OF troops when the five points ad-
vanced by Foreign Minister Baron
Shidehara have been enforced in
Manchuria, will accelerate the coun-
Gil negotiations, the government be-
heves.
Assurance Sent Soviet
kapan'S reply to the Russian note
a6king assurance of protection of
her interests in Manchuria, was sent
to the ambassador at Moscow. 1t
reiterated Japan'S pledge not to
paraly5e the Chinese Eastern rail-
rQad, and asked Moscow not to
credit rumorS of Japanese threats
against the railroad.
The only possible solution which
ban be reached in Paris will be fol
the league council to recommend a
settlement along the lines of direct
Chinese-Gapanese negotiations in
the Far East. officials said
Japan expects little from the pri-
vste negotiations outside the coun-
Gil. She has said her last word"
in refusing to permit China to save
her tace" by half-hearted settle
ment of differences with Japan.

TAGGART JOINS
RACE FOR HIGH
DEMOCRAT JOB
French Lick Party Leader
viii Oppose EIIingham
for Committeeman.
GETS STRONG SUPPORT
Influential Backing Certain
for Son of Late
Political Power.
BY BEN STERN

Thomas D. Taggart, French Lick,
today accepted the challenge of Lew
Ellingham, Ft. Wayne publisher, for
a political battle, with election to
the Democratic national committee
as the prize.
Announcement to. this effect, al
though clothed in ambiguous
phrases, was issued today by Tag
gart, after comforting with several
friends here and cleared the way
for an early call of the Democratic
state committee to elect the sue
ceSSor to the late Charles A.
Greathouse. His supporters claim a
victory with eighteen votes, four
more than are needed.
Although Taggart's entrance into
the fight was expected by his
friends, he gave no indication dur
ing the opening of the Ellingham
offensive as to whether he would
become a contender.
Werneke Leads Move
Led by Richard Werneke, Demo-
cratic boss of Terre Haute, the sup
porterS of Taggart urged him to
seek the post.
Ellingham opened his campaign
last week with an open letter in his
own paper, signed by 1000 Allen
county Democratic workers, and
addressed to R. Earl Peters, Demo-
cratic state chairman, urging the
election of the publisher.
The Terre Haute Tribune retorted
with a vigorously worded editorial
advancing Taggart.
Meanwhile, friends of Taggart
won the first round, when Jouett
Shouse, Democratic national chair
man, appointed him to assume the
labor begun by Mr.. Greathouse of
raising funds in Indiana to pay off
the party debt.
Split May Result
Over the weekend Democratic
leaders trekked to French Lick to
urge Taggart to make the race.
Although not present in person,
Peters, the state chairman, who
because of his position must be
neutral, was there in spirit to lend
encouragement.
The fight for the national COM
mittee honor is fraught with grave
possibilities and may cause a serious
split in the Democratic forces in
November.
The factions opposing the re-
election of Peters as state chair
man have grouped themselves
around Ellingham, for both men re-
side in the same city and there is an
unwritten rule against granting
two important posts to the same
district.
If Ellingham is elected, it will
mean solidif1cation of the forces op-
posed to Peters and strengthening
of their cause.
Marion County for Taggart
So, naturally, Peters is for Tag
CART, who on the other hand has
been quite diffident about ente ing
the field.
Since the death of his father,
Senator Thomas D. Taggart, Demo-
cratic leader for almost three dec
AIDES, young Tom, as the Prince"
had remained in the political back
ground.
Marion county is for Taggart, and
notice will be served by party lead
erS on Meredith Nicholson, Seventh
district chairman, and Mrs. Carl
Wood, vice-chairman, to cast their
votes for him, it was learned today.
Nicholson is said to be wavering,
while Mrs. Wood is open in her
partisanShip for Taggart.
Taggart'S statement declares that
if che is the choice of the state
committee, he will accept the place
and carry on the work as the In
diana member of the national COM
mittee."

DRIVE is PLANNED
AGAINST BEGGARS.
GIaSsford Promises to Help
Force PanhandIers Off
Streets of City.

Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford,
major and superintendent of police, has
agreed to help drive professional pan
handlers and beggars from the Streets
Of washington this Winter.
His cooperation was sought yester-
day afternoon by the heads OF three
local welfare agencies dealing WIN
homeless men. Gen. GlaSSford prom
ised to have a police official confer WIN
them on plans for an energetlc cam
paign to put an end to the nuisance
With proper police vigilance. he was
assured by the committee, "WaShlng-
ton could be made so unhealthy Tor
panhandlers that they would pass the
word around to others to avoid TINS
City" 1t was suggested that offenders
could be put to work on the munlclpal
wood pile when it is started here.
Agencies Promise Relief.
The committee re- presents the Saliva
tion Army, the Central Union Mission
and the Gospel Mission, with John .;
Bennett as chairman. They assured
Gen. Glassford the three agencies would
feed and shelter every homeless man
who applies. but pointed out that they
had no control over the professiona!
nanhandlers who assiduously avoid
agencies where relief might be obtained.
With the approach of cold weather.
their numbers are steadily increasing.
The Committee on Homeless Men
was appointed recently by Chairman
T.. C. Graham of the District Commit
tee on Employment. Its membership
includes, besides Mr.. Bennett OF the
Central Union Mission: Harvey PREM,
tiss and N. E. Gardner of the Gospel
Mission. and Mai. James Asher and
Ensign G. S. Decker of the Salvation
Army.
At a meeting of the committee We'd
nesday, when it was decided to appear
to Gen. Glassford for aid, suggestion
that tickets be distributed to the public
to hand to street beggars was turned
down as unsatisfactory. Experience IN
other cities has shown, it was pointed
out. that panhandlers make too much
money off the public to bother ABOUT
applying to welfare agencies for assist
ance.
City Lodging House to Join.
It was also decided to invite the
Board of Public Welfare to designate a
representative of the Municipal Lodg-
ing House to serve on the committee,
in view of the number of homeless men
sheltered at that District institution.
The committee will be enlarged by TAX
ing on additional members selected
from the boards of the three agencies
SO as to gain the advantage OF their
experience in dealing with the prob
lens of transients.
BY meeting each morning the COM
mittee is able to check up on the IA
cilities of each for the coming night
II one agency is overcrowded, cooper
alive plans have been worked out
whereby the others will take care OF
the overflow. Meals also have been ar
ranged at each agency at the same
hour to break up the practice of r+len
going from one to the other in order tc
get more than their share of free
meals.
The three agencies. the public was
informed, have facilities to accommo-
date about 800 men a night and never
close.
