FACES SZABO

Billed as the secondary fea-
ture, the wrestling duel between
George zaharias and Sander
Szabo at the Strand Theater to-
morrow night may develop into
the most thrilling on the pro-
gram. At least, it is an ap-
pealing match and one that
promises to keep the customers
on keen edge.
ZahariaS deals out heavy pun
ishment and doesn't quake with
fear when his adversary does
likewise. In fact, Zaharias is
then most dangerous, but will
find a rival just as dangerous
and worthy in the former butcher
boy from Hungary.
Tomorrow nights bill Of fare
is headed by Sammy Stein, the
nice-looking Jewish boy who has
a legion of fair admirers here.
Stein, the Jewish heavyweight
champion, will lock horns with
that Indian giant, Tiny Roebuck.

Just settlement of the Manchurian ques-
ton.
The note sent by the American Gov
ernmefYt to the Chinese and Japanese
governments naturally brought in the
Br1and-kellogg pact, because it Is now
beyond doubt that the operations in the
Far East have assumed a Warlike char
acter. The bringing in of the Paris
pact was determined by the unequivocal
statement issued by President Hoover
and the British premier, Ramsay Mac
Donald, at the conclusion Of their meet
ing at Rapidan. That statement reads
as follows: Both our Governments re-
solve to accept the peace pact not only
as a declaration of good intentions, but
as a positive obligation to direct ma
tional policies in accordance with this
pledge"
None Of the SO powers which have
solemnly signed the Paris pact have
ever made it known officially or by i'm
plication that they disagreed with the
point Of view of these leaders Of two
world leading nations. Japan has now
engaged in operations totally contrary
to the Paris pact whatever explanations
legal experts may find to justify the
role Of the Japanese troops in Man
churia. AS far as the United States Is
concerned, there IS not shadow OF
doubt in the minds of our statesmen
that the japanese government has
broken its solemn pledges.
What further action this Government
will take time will show. But for the
time being the Government is on record
that whatever legal form the land
grabbing in Manchuria may take, the
United States will not recognize it, even
If some kind of a consent could be
wrenched from the Chinese government
by the Toxic diplomats. The Govern
ment of this country stands pat on the
treaty rights of the American Govern
ment, on the rights of the American
citizens to trade freely in China and
on the inalienability of the Chinese ter
ritory.

MOUNT STERLING, KY, January
8.-The defense neared the end of it's
testimony today in the William High
tower murder conspiracy trial, while
the Kentucky Court of Appeals at
Frankfort pondered the case of the
Knoxville News-Sentinel VS.. Circuit
Judge Henry R. Prewitt.
Newton D. Baker, who led America S
World War activities as Secretary of
War in President Woodrow Wilson'S
cabinet, represented the newspaper at
hearings at Frankfort yesterday and
said Judge Prewitt's barring of News
Sentinel reporters from the Hightower
trial was "an unwarranted deprivation
of property right" which "imperiled a
civil liberty of people"
Judge Is Defender.
Allan Prewitt, 28-year-old son of the
Montgomery County circuit Judge, de-
Tended the right of his father to uphold
the dignity of his court against a CON
tumaciOuS and contemptuous news
paper" The News-Sentinel had edi-
torially criticized the conduct of the
trial of w. B. Jones, who was SEN
fenced to life imprisonment on the same
charge on which Hightower is being
tried
The Court of Appeals took under ad-
visement the petition of the News
Sentinel for a writ of prohibition in
validating Judge Prewitt's order, which
barred John Moutoux and Jack Bryan,
reporters, from the trial. An early de-
cision is customary in cases involving
such writs.
Baker termed the editorial in ques-
ton temperate, philosophical and
just statement" and argued the Judge
misconstrued its contents. Publicity
of trials is one of the great safeguards
OF liberty in free country" he said
His First Argument.
The judges son, making his first
argument before high court, saying
the suit was brought because the news
papers pride" was injured, cited de-
cisions regarding the power of a circuit
judge to conduct his court as he sees fit.
"The contempt powers of the court
are inherent" he said. "They are
above legislation" He argued the news
papers editorial, figuratively, told the
court Jones was conviced because he
is a labor leader" not because Of his

NEW MOONEY CASE

BY the Associated Press.
"Flagrant violations" Of California
law by police and prosecution in the
famous Mooney Billings case are charged
in hitherto unpublished report SUBJ
mitted to the Wickersham Commission.
The document, sent to the Senate by
the Justice Department In response to
resolution requesting it, was never
accepted by the Wickersham Commis-
sion, which contended it had no right
to review State cases.
The report was made by zechariah
Chafee, jr.; Walter H. Pollak and Carl
S. Stern, research and investigation
experts Of the commission.
After an exhaustive account of the
arrest and conviction of Thomas
Mooney and Warren Billings in con-
nection with the 1916 Preparedness day
bombing in San Francisco in 1915, 1t
concluded that:
There never was any scientific at

turned over to private detective, who
used his position to cause the arrest OF
the defendants.
The police investigation was reduced
to hunt for evidence to convict the
arrested defendants.
There were hagrant violations of the
statutory law of California by both the
police and the prosecution in the man
ner in which the defendants were ar
rested and held incommunicado, and
in the subsequent searches of their
homes to procure evidence against them.
After the arrest of the defendants,
witnesses were brought to the jails to
identity them and their identif1cations'
were accepted by the police and the
prosecution, despite the fact that these
witnesses were never required to pick
the defendants out Of lineup or to
demonstrate their accuracy by any other
test.
Immediately after the arrests Of the
defendants there commenced a de-
hberate attempt TO arouse public
prejudice against them, by a series Of
almost daily interviews given to the
press by prosecuting officials"

note, which invoked the nine-power
treaty, and it was reiterated that Japan
has made no demands in Manchuria
except with respect to her treaty rights
and that, even in the face Of the rep
reSentations Of other powers, there is
little chance that she will modify her
Manchurian policy.
In this connection it was emphasized
that any administrative integrity OF
China proper in Manchuria prior to
September 10, 1881, was not destroyed
by the japanese, because, it was stated,
Marking had never exercised any real
authority whatever in the province.
The ChinchoW government, it was
said, was nothing more than "a mas
querade' designed to disturb peace and
order in Manchuria by instigating
bandits and other laWless elements.
Whether Japan will reply formally to
the American note or publish a state
ment setting forth her stand has not
yet been decided. A government spokeS-
man emphasized, nevertheless, that
American rights in Manchuria, regard
ing which Washington appeared to be
concerned, would remain intact.
The spokesman expressed regret that
the present situation, caused by the
outbreak of September 18, had ham
pered business generally, but he said
it could not be helped under the cir
cumstances.
I'VE stand for peace, order and hon
est government in Manchuria," he said
land We give every assurance that our
policy is one of the open door and
equal opportunity. Our aim is to pro-
mote the open door in every way pos
sible."
Similarity Of Notes Seen.
He called attention to the fact that
Secretary Stimsons communication
bears "a marked similarity" to the note
of Secretary Bryan, forwarded on May
12. 1915, regarding the so-called Il de-
mandS, in which it was stated that the
United States Government was not pre-
pared to recognize any treaty agree
ment which might impair the territorial
integrity of China, known as the open
door policy. Secretary Stimson's note
he pointed out, is more formal than the
1915 communication, which, it was as
sumed then, did not call for reply
Japan, he said, recognizes, as has
often been stated, China's sovereignty
over Manchuria, but it is the conten-
ton of the government that no actual
authority has ever existed there. The
hoisting of the Sun Vat Sen flag in
1928 by Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang
he said, was a mere pretext and even
Marshal Chang's acceptance of a vice
commandership in the Marking army
and navy was without any real meaning
Marshal Chang, he said, never con-
suited Marking regarding his policies
He appointed his own railroad and
other commissions.
Regarding Manchuria's future, Toxic
holds, he said, that neither Japan nor
any third power ought to attempt to
interfere with the Chinese establishing
their own government in Manchuria in
accordance with the principle of self
determination. Japan's military action,
he said, has not infringed the Kellogg
pact because Japan acted, and is acting,
entirely in self-defenSe which is the
fundamental right of nation to its
existence. recognized both by the nine
power pact and the Kellogg pact"

Work Issue Stressed

Of these arguments, the main one
being stressed in the intensive cam
paign now on for the Hull -O'Connor
bill is the increased employment that
2.75 beer will bring. With unemploy-
ment more serious than ever before
in the history of the nation and little
signs of improvement in sight, with
the burden of relief daily growing
heavier and with suffering and priva-
ton rapidly increasing, it is thought
that every congressman is receptive
to sound remedy for the situation.
Labor feels that remedy that can be
applied quickly and effectively is
legalization Of 2.75 per cent beer and
it is losing no opportunity to drive
home the point. That the argument
is having great weight is indicated by
increased votes cast recently by the
vets on test proposals before the
house.
