 Geneva. September 23 - (UP) of the League of Ma tions Council to meet China's de- mand for intervention in Manchur- ian situation brought out widely divergent Japanese and Chinese views on the causes and import ance of the Japanese occupation of Manchurian territory.
 Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Japanese ambassador to Paris, called the Manchurian conflict local incl dent" Alfredo Sze, head of the Chinese league delegation, said that immediate action was neces- sary ito prevent further develop ments endangering peace."
 Yoshizawa called the Chinese demand for reparations ''incom- prehensible." He blamed Chinese troops for the incidents which led to Japanese control of Mukden and other important points in Man churia.
 The question of status quo ante can only be determined on the actual scene.' the Japanese dele gate said. Hence I must have my governments opinion on the ques- tion."
 Yoshizawa said the Japanese government was determined to avert anything likely to aggravate the situation Japan has enorm- ous interests in Manchuria and her rights are recognized by treaties, |" he said, he intimated that China was threatening these rights.
 Yoshizawa said that the execu- fioy, of To of kamura, as a spy in Manchuria, and Chinese destruction of part of the South Manchurian railway near Mukden caused the "Mukden incident"
 Japanese and Chinese blamed each other for the dynamiting Of railway bridge which brought on fighting and the occupation of Mukden.
 The Japanese ambassador called the assertion that Chinese were observing non-resistance in Man. churia fiction" He gave figures to prove the Chinese troops great ly outnumbered Japanese in the Mukden area.
 Dr Sze told the council that Ja- pan occupied an area in Manchu- ria as large as the British Isles. "The situation is much graver than when China asked the league to intervene Monday" he said. He suggested that China might appeal to the league under other articles of the covenant besides Article XI. under which the council is bound to consider war or the threat of war" between member states.
 Dr Sze read telegrams contain ing the latest press reports, in- cluding United Press dispatches.
 An official dispatch from Nan king charged that the Japanese had seized a portion of the Man churian railway and announced it would be managed hereafter as the Southern Japanese Railway Company. Japanese were charged with controlling all telephone, tele- graph, and wireless communion tions and with censoring all out going news except that of Japa- nese origin.

RENO TICHTENS RESIDENCE RULE
 FOR DIVORCEES
Judges Threaten Appli- cants With Jail Terms
 for Perjury

Reno. Nev.-Divorcees who come here with the intention of remain ing in Nevada less than six weeks and "get by" with perjured testi- mony as to establishment of proper residence will henceforth learn that Reno courts are not to be dealt with lightly.
 Dismissal of the divorce suit without right to reapply in Reno courts and possible jail sentence is the threat which Judges Thomas F. Moran and Benjamin Curler offer to such perjurers.
 A new ruling that no residence witness except the landlady. land- lord, manager or owner of the apartment, rooming house or hotel resided, will be adjudged com potent to testify has been made.
 Cases Denied
 More than 20 divorce cases were either denied, or dismissed out right. or were continued until proper witnesses could be called, during the past month. Y
 Divorce-seekers, who are hon. est with the judge and remain here for the full six weeks and a day, will not have the slightest difficulty. The ruling is aimed only at the ".chiseling" divorcee who attempts fraud.
 If there is a valid reason why the landlady, or manager. cannot appear in court, another witness will be acceptable, it was ruled.
 The proper and safe thing for the divorce-seeker to do when ar irving in Reno to take the "cure" is to register at a hotel under the correct name adn remain there the full six weeks. or move into another residence and "stay put" The less moving around, the better.
 Two Cases Blamed
 Two outstanding cases of the fraud that was being practiced upon Washoe county courts, which cameto the attention of the judges, are responsible for the new rulings.
 In one case, a New York woman rented an apartment by cor respondence and arrived in Reno only two days before the six weeks rent had been paid on it. She moved, into the apartment two days before her case was set for trial and then attempted to prove to the judge that she was a bonafide resident. Her fraud was discovered, however. and she was forced to remain in Reno an- other six weeks.

|BACARDI RUM WAS FIRST MADE
 IN OLD BARN
Only One Person Knows Secret of Famous
 Mixture

Havana.-The new Edificio Ba- cardi, which is one of the most beautiful buildings here. and whose private bar. the last of it's modern accouterments, was completed a short time ago, strikes a fine con- trast to the original Bacardi build ing, one story frame barn in San- tiago de Cuba, where the famous rum made it's bow in the latter parts of the nineteenth century.
 It was here that an old Cata- ionian jam maker eked out mea- ger livelihood for himself and his three sons, Emilio, Facundo, Jr., and Jose, working from dawn un- til dark drove the great bats out of the barn loft, brewing over vats and kettles the jams and jellies they sold in the streets of San- tiago.
 Came from Spain
 Bacardi and his three sons came from Barcelona, Spain, to Cuba in the early sos. It was Facundo, Jr., however, who spent long hours experimenting with new fiavors, new combinations and blending processes. forever in search of an unusual and tasty jam.
 During one of these experiments he happened onto the delightful combination which to-day is the basis of "Ron Bacardi." When he finished the product his father was overjoyed. He pronounced it the perfect blend, the acme of all the finest liquors. He gave it his own name and created a trade mark fashioned from the bats which nested in the creaking rafters.
 Greatest Triumph
 Perhaps Bacardi's greatest tri- umph came when the rum was prescribed for King Alfonso XIII during the influenza epidemic in Spain. Shortly later Bacardi was granted the right to the title 'Purveyors to the Royal House of Spain," as well as the right to publish the Spanish royal coat of arms on the label.
 Peculiarly enough, however, only one living person knows the recipe for Bacardi rum, and that man is Facundo Bacardi III. grand son of the discoverer and present vice president of the company. Each day he retires to the labora- tory of the Bacardi plant at San- tiago de Cuba and works over the huge mixing vats. Up to the pres ent time no plans have been made to pass the secret on to his suc- cessor.

afternoon when it caught fire about
five miles north of New Brighton near
the Twin Cities. Mr. ErikSen, accom-
panied by Mrs Carl Jensen, was driv-
ing the truck to Askov loaded with
feed, dry goods, groceries and fruit
when he noticed smoke coming from
the top of the rear box. Before the
blaze could be extinguished it had
caused considerable damage to the
contents of the load. The blaze was
caused by the exhaust heater with
which the freight body is equipped.
/. is thought that in some manner a
canvas had caught on fire and this
ignited the box which was burned con-
siderably. Mr. Eriksen is high in his
praise of the efficient and obliging
help two traffic patrolmen rendered
while helping to extinguish the fire.
The truck body which was damaged
some by the blaze was insured but
negotiation were just being made at
the time of the accident for freight
insurance and this had not yet gone
into effect to cover the loss of some of
the load. Henry Jensen and P. D.
Petersen happened along soon after
ward and helped pick up the load to
bring it on to Askov. Mrs. Jensen
came home with Carl Hyldahl, who
was also returning from the cities.
