items got under way after the confer

lition of the Buffalo, Indianapolis,
Helena, Mont; Paris, Peiping, Korea

DOCTOR HUNTS
JUNGLE GERM
Saliva Taken From Jaws of
Carrier Lion.

DR.. Thurman B. Rice of the IN
diana university school of medicine,
prepared today to track down the
germ which infected Clyde Beatty,
animal trainer at Peru circus head
quarters, with strange jungle
malady."
Beatty is better now and Friday
aided in obtaining for DR.. Rice
saliva from the mouth of Nero, the
lion from whose bite Betty became
infected.
Beatty lassoed the lion and made
fast his paws while the saliva was
procured by DR.. S. D. Malouif, cir
Gus physician, as Nero roared and
protested in his cage at the Peru
winter quarters.
The trainer was clawed and Bit
ten by the great lion after slipping
and falling in the arena in which
forty lions and tigers were being
put through their PAGES. He spent
several weeks in the hospital.
But Nero is still his hero, since
he once saved Beatty from attack
of ferocious tiger when the circus
was showing in Kokomo last sea-
son.
"The cat was only playing" he
apologies in talking of Nero's at
tack on him. In fact, he declares
the lion leaped on him only to pro-
tect him from the other animals
after he fell.

TOXIC, March 19.-Japan will
States to invoke the nine-power
treaty, in connection with forma-
ton of the new independent state
in Manchuria, government spokeS-
man said today.
simultaneously, the foreign office
denied Chinese charges that Japan
had formed the new state. The
government views the new Man
ohu regime sympathetically, the
spokesman said, and pressure of
public opinion may force recogni-
zion.
Secretary Of State Henry l..
Stimson had announced that the
United States would not recognize
territorial or economic gains by
aggression, and the announcement
Of policy was based on certain
terms of the nine-power treaty.
Japan'S announced intention to
oppose invocation of the treaty, it
was believed, would be based on the
argument that its activities in
Manchuria were not aggressive, but
defensive.
And successful projection of that
argument, it was believed, would
nullify the so-called Stimson policy
as outlined in a letter to Senator
William E. Borah.
Ambassador Katsuji Debuchi at
washington informed the foreign
office of indications that the United
States intended to invoke provisions
of the nine-power treaty guaran-
teeing Chinese territorial integrity
if Japan recognizes the new Manchu
regime.

BLACK SHEEP
SON OF CATTLE
KINGS SUICIDE
Coney P. Slaughter, Once
Federal Convict, Member
of Noted Texas Family.

BY United Press
SAN ANTONIO. Tex. March 10
-Coney c. Slaughter, 81. 'black
sheep" of a family of southwestern
cattle kings, died in the county
hospital here Friday shortly after
he had been wounded in his apart
ment. A pistol was at his side.
While all other members of the
Slaughter family, headed by the
late Colonel c. C. Slaughter of Dali
las, held positions of honor in
Texas for three-quartcrs of a
century, Coney Slaughter was SEN
fenced to six years in the Leayen-
worth federal penitentiary for abb
sconding with $352,O00 in funds of
the wrecked Mercantile bank of
Pueblo, Colo, in 1915. He was
cashier of the institution.
He was fugitive eight years be-
fore his arrest. Part of the time he
lived in Mexico.
His family oStracized him, and
his first wife obtained a divorce.
While still a fugitive, he married
a 20-year-old New Orleans girl.
Enola Landrey.
Escaped From Prison
Slaughter had served two years
OF his prison sentence when he
escaped on trusty's pass on Jan.
81, 1925, only four months before he
would have been eligible for parole.
He was arrested again the following
August at Englewood, Colo, near
Denver. He told officers he had gone
there to obtain securities cached
following the closing of the Pueblo
bank.
Slaughter boosted to police that
ne had 100000 hidden away, but it
never was located.
A woman companion said he re-
turned to Colorado for the thrill''
OF going to where police were look
ing for him. Authorities believe he
d1sslpated the fortune he stole.
Spent Money LavishIy
During his eight years as a
fugitive, Slaughter was known to
nave spent money lavishly at race
tracks and gambling casinos in
Mexico and New Orleans.
He finally was captured at a
Phoenixville, Pa, sanitarium where
he was attempting to recover his
health.
He pleaded guilty to two charges
OF embezzlement at Denver and was
sentenced to six years on one and
five years for the other. The judges
ordered the penalties to run con-
secutively but, through an error in
commitment papers, he was allowed
to serve them concurrently.
He was described as a "model
prisoner" in the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth, Kan, except for
his escape attempt. He was forced
to do hard labor for the remainder
of his term.
Father AbsOIved of Blame
j. R. Herndon, owner of the
apartment building in which
Slaughter lived, forced his way
into the Coloradoan's rooms after
hearing a shot. The former banker
was lying on the bathroom floor.
He had been shot through the head.
He had bid good-by to his
daughter, Mrs. Percy Carter and
her husband only & few minutes
before. The Carriers were leaving
for Kansas City.
Slaughter'S father, the late w. B.
Slaughter, a widely-known cattle
man, was president of The Pueblo
bank, but was absolved Of any
blame in his sons defalcations.

three developments:

American officials do not conceal
their concern over the first report,
although they find some comfort
in the fact that both Moscow and
Toxic repeatedly have affirmed their
desire for peace.
According to the advices of
western observers, Vladivostok, Rus
sia's great Pacific port adjacent to
Japanese controlled Korea, appears
to be preparing for a state of siege.
Four trainloads of wheat have
passed over the Chinese Eastern
railroad destined for Vladivostok,

to the Chinese Eastern railroad in
Manchuria, but are kept in Russian
territory.
To some observers this indicates
that the Russians are apprehensive
lest some other power seize the road,
jointly owned by Russia and China.
The Russians alone, however, claim
to own the rolling stock of the line.
Faced by these preparations, au-
thorities in Manchuria are consider
ing an embargo on wheat exports.
They are thinking, too, of closing
the frontier at Pogranichnia, where
the Chinese Eastern railroad enters
Siberia not far from Vladivostok.
Soviet Russia now has about
$4,000 men in Vladivostok, terminal
OF the long Siberian railroad
and Russia's only port of conse-
quence on the Pacific. Russia prob
ably has $4,000 more troops east of
the Urals.

Hence trained observers here be-
lieve that Russia is piling up sup
plies to feed it's far eastern forces
