FIGHTING AGAIN REPORTED
BETWEEN ARMIES IN CHINA

the battle region have been incon-
elusive. Although there has been a
considerable diminution of the
fighting, it was fc1,ed large-scale
hostilities might be renewed at any
time.
The main fighting ended Thurs
day, when the Chinese nineteenth
route army was ordered to with
draw IL or more miles from the
city. The japanese followed them
up and established new lines, with
occasional scattered fighting.
Both the Chinese and Japanese
announced hostilities had been
c1 desea. suspended. pending the
outcome of the work of the league
assembly at Geneva. Friday and
Saturday, however, occasional
fighting was reported from various
points outside the city, and the
Chinese charged that the japanese
intended to invade Soochow,
Hangkow, Nanking and other
cities.
The International Settlement
was considered much safer with
the withdrawal of the Chinese, and
order was restored after scattered
rioting Friday night. A vigorous
American protest was expected to
be made over an attack on Miss
Rose Marlowe, an American mis-
sionary, and other incidents in
volving Americans.
TOXIC, March 7. U.P)-A division
of Japanese troops will remain in
the international settlement at
Shanghai indefinitely" and de-
tachments still are being sent to
China for precautionary measures,
a government spokesman said to-
day.
According to semi-official quar-
ters, the government is seriously
considering withdrawal from the
League of Nations regardless of the
leagues eventual decision on the
far eastern conflict. Members of
the Seiyukai party now in power
are adopting the slogan BACK TO
Asia"
Government leaders are said to
regard the United States relation
with the league, participation in
important league activities without
actual membership, as more con-
venient than belonging to the
league.
Meanwhile ViScount KenUara Ka-
nelgo, friend of the late Theodore
Roosevelt and veteran privy coun-
cillor of the Mikados government,
considered undertaking a special
mission to the United States to
explain Japan's aims WIN regard to

BRANDS
SICKNESS
IS FATAL
French Apostle OF World
Peace Dies Suddenly At
Paris Home.
HAD NOTED CAREER
Famous Statesman To Be
Given Highest HOnOrs
By Nation He Served.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
limited Press Staff COrrespOnden


PARIS, March 7.-Aristide BRAND,
veteran apostle of world peace, and
one of the most famous surviving
statesmen of the World war and
postwar periods, died at his home
at p. m. today of heart disease.
News of his passing at his resi-
dence, So Avenue Klebber, spread
swiftly through the ctpital and
shocked the city profoundly. Al
though his health had been at a
critical state for months, he fought
eff the malady with characteristic
Vigor and frequently assured his
friends he would be back at active
work Soon His SEVENTEEN birth
day would have been three weeks
from today.
BRAND had been recuperating at
his country home at Cocherel. He
came to Paris last week, apparently
slightly improved. 1t was deemed
wise for him to leave Cocherel be-
cause of the cold weather and the
necessity of keeping closer contact
with specialists who had been Civ
ing him digitalis treatments for
his heart.
His condition was complicated re-
Gently by signs of uremia.
Since his return to Paris, BRAND,
stubbornly insisting on reentering
public affairs, disobeyed his doc
tors and saw Premier Andre Tar
dieu and other politicians.
Disobeyed Doctors
He did so despite definite in
Structions that he must take
complete rest at the rsik of his
life.
AS soon as the news was learned,
Tardieu hastened to the BRAND
home. President Paul Doumer sent
a representative.
BRAND lost consciousness this
morning and did not regain it. At
his bedside when he died were DR..
Emile Emery, his physician and his
niece, Madame Billeau, with her
husband.
BRAND made no last remarks. He
failed to realize his critical con-
dition or the fact that his heart
had been rapidly giving out in the
last few days.
The dead statesman lay this af
ternoon on the bed in the tiny,
simply furnished room in which he
died. The first important visitor
was President Paul Doumer
A member of the household said
BRAND had been jovial when he
returned from Cocherel last week
and boasted he felt better than
ever"

AREA DAMAGED
BY BAD STORM
BY United Press

Storm that lashed the entire At
lantic seaboard today, caused II
deaths, while temperatures and
barometers indicated more severe
weather for all eastern states.
Five deaths were caused by
drowning when two boats capsized
off the Atlantic City. The victims
were coast guardSmen. Five per-
sons perished at Washington, D. c.,

and engines out of order. The
coast guard cutter Mendoza had
gone to her assistance.
Washington was blanketed by its
worst blizzard since 1909.
Upper Pennsylvania was covered
by a 9 inch snow mantle.
Fear of freezing weather in Flor
ida, endangering the citrus crop
and truck farms, led growers to
light "smudge pots" in their or
chards.
Property damage was extensive
in the entire affected area Com
munications were temporarily dis
rupted at several points.
The storm, originating in western
Texas, swept across the Gulf of
Florida, where it struck early yes
terday. Trees were uprooted. Tel
egraph and telephone lines were
disabled over wide area south of
Daytona Beach and Tampa.

NORTH END WILL
GET TW0-SIXTHS
OF GASOLINE TAX
Each OF Remaining Su-
pervisOrial Districts To
Be Given One-SiXth.

Compromising their former un-
moving stand, members of the
county board OF Supervisors this
morning showed their willingness
to meet north end demands half
way in the matter of gasoline tax
funds distribution, voting to appor-
ton the BraWley area two-sixths
of 42,42168, the money now or
hand, and each of the other super
visorial districts one-sixth of the
amount.
This distribution will give the
north end district $14,140.5G, while
each of the other districts will get
$707028, to be spent in mainten-
ance of roads.
The proportionate distribution
was made after consideration of
north end demands for tWo-fifths
of the gasoline tax fund, based on
assertions of greater population,
greater taxes and more roads in
the rebellious district.
Another matter of Importance
to the north end was brought up
when a large delegation from
Westmorland appeared to argue
for and against an election to de-
termine if the north end town shall
incorporate all territory within a
square mile, as city of the sixth
class. B. H. Evans, acting as
spokesman of those favoring the
election, asked that it be called
March %.
Two petitions were filed, one
asking the election and another
opposing it. The petition favoring
the election bore 101 names, while
the opposition petition bore 73
names.
The supervisors postponed action
on the request for an election
until tomorrow morning, when they
will go to Westmorland to view the
lands which, under the present
proposal, will be included in the
Incorporated area.
The supervisors this morning
also directed a letter to Griffin
& Co., contractors, asking that they
use all local labor, insofar as is
possible, on construction of i'm
provements on the San Diego high
way between Coyote Wells and
DiXieland.
A letter from DR.. Warren F..
Fox, recommending appointment
of a county poundmaster during
the present rabies situation, prob
ably will receive attention this
afternoon.

Governor Unable
To Give Immunity

TRENTON, N. j., March T. U.P)
"A law is iaw," Governor A.
Harry Moore said today in point
ing out he could do nothing per-
sonally toward granting immunity
to the kidnaperS of Charles Angus
tus Lindbergh, jr., should they re-
turn the child unharmed.
Il can DO nothing about it," he
said. Il have no power. A law is
law. 1t would be up to the
grand jury to refuse to indict them
if it wanted to-"
The governor appearing worn af-
ter sleepless nights in connection
with the inquiry into the kidnapping,
said the department of justice was
working on the case throughout
the country.
He said that of course if Colonel
Lindbergh should ask withdrawal
of state troopers from the estate,
this would be complied with.
After all it is a private resi-
dence,' he said.

MARION TAKES
WITNESS STAND
in OWN BEHALF
Technicalities Hold Up
Trial AS Attorneys Ar
que Points.

A long stride toward victory for
one side or the other hung in the
balance today as defense and prose-
cution attorneys argued before
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson tech
nicalities dealing with the admis-
stability of evidence effecting the
self-defense plea of Daniel D. Mar
ron and Mrs. Inez Marion, charged
with the murder December II of
Alberto Garcia.
This clash, upon which hangs the
future course of the trial, came af-
ter District Attorney Elmer w.
Heald rested the states case, and
when Marion was called to the
stand following brief opening
statement by M w. Conkling, de-
fense counsel, and testimony of
three character witnesses.
AS court opened this morning the
district attorney asked that the jury
be taken to see the car in which
Garcia was riding when he was
shot in the back and side of the
head. Edgar B. Hervey, associated
with Conkling in defense, at that
time stated the intention of the
defense to ask that the jury also
view the, Marron car, in which are
bullet holes which the defense con-
tends were made when Marion was
ambushed, some time before Garcia
was killed.
Returning from viewing the car,
the jurors heard Heald rest his
case, and listened to an opening
statement in which Conkling paint
ed Garcia as "a murderer who MUIR
dered without compunction," and
the heads of whose victims would
"fill sack"
Hervey then called H. F. Shepard,
deputy customs collector at Tecate,
John LenZ, Tecate merchant, and
r. H. Benton, San Diego cattleman,
as character witnesses, and furnish
ed the climax to the mornings
court session by summoning Marion
to the stand.
1t was when Marion had been
asked to describe conversation be-
tween himself and Garcia in Mar
rons home in CaleXico November
80, possibly relating to a supposed
threat by Garcia, that the district
attorney and d. H. Wolford, his
chief criminal deputy, objected on
the technical grounds a sufficient
foundation had not been laid for
this testimony. The objection was

HOPEWELL, N. j., March T.
New Jersey state police today an
nounced they believed the kidnapped
baby of Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh is alive; and they agreed
they will do everything possible to
help the kidnapers deliver the
child"
This announcement came from to-
days first press conference, with
Capt. j. J. Lamb in charge of the
Lindbergh home answering press
inquiries.
What are the orders to the state
police if the kidnapers, after ne
gotiating satisfactorily with Colonel
Lindbergh, attempt to bring the
baby to the Lindbergh home" Lamb
was asked through the spokesman
at headquarters.
"The state police will do every
thing possible to help the kidnapers
deliver the child" Lamb replied.
Meantime, in the Lindbergh house
on Sourland mountain from which
Baby Lindbergh was stolen last
Tuesday night, new hope was in
spired. Colonel Lindbergh and his
wife sat by an open fire in the
living room, as snow Swirled out
side in the cold raw March air.
The Lindberghs were represented
as hopeful that their designation
of Salvatore Spitale, a New York
underworld character, and his
guardsman, Irving Bitz, as go be-
tweens for the kidnapers would
yield results.
Spitale himself told the United
Press he was waiting for gangland
to speak through its devious chan
nels. If the LOB" of kidnapping
Baby Charles was professional"
Spitale was hopeful that the
grapevine telegraph" of gangdom
would get word to him how, where
and when to get the child in ex-
change for Lindbergh's promised
ransom of $4,000.
Asked by newspapermen to an
swer a few questions early today,
Colonel Lindbergh replied through
Captain John j. Lamb of the state
! police that he felt no interview
should be given at this time"
No Note Received
At that time, these few facts
were made known, either through
police channels here, or elsewhere,
| in connection with the greatest
kidnapping hunt in history:
No note saying the Lindbergh
baby was safe" has been received.
Henry (Red) johnson, questioned
by Connecticut and New Jersey Of
ficials, apparently had cleared him.
self of any suspicion in the case,
and his friend, Johansen Junge, al
ready has been released after
questioning.
Failure to learn Immediately the
whereabouts of Spitale led to re-
ports all night long that he and
Col. Henry Breckenridge, Lind
bergh's personal representative, had
been in conference during the night
| at Princeton. This report had lit
tie more basis than given for hun
| dreds of previous reports in the
| case. 1t was denied at Princeton.
Lindberghs refusal of an inter-
view was believed to be based on
his belief, already apparent, that
principal hope for return of his
baby was confined to direct deal
ing with the kidnapers; that the
less said by him to police and the
public, the better, excepting publi-
cation of such statements as might
be required by the kidnapers.
The flyers action in calling for
underworld help was taken with
out consultation with police and
state authorities in charge of ac-
tivities here. 1t was believed based
on advice of his attorney, Colonel
