Webster. Mass. Feb 12.-UP)- Four masked men, armed with 0 machine-gun. attempted to hold up a paymaster as he was entering the Stevens Linen Works with a $13,O00 payroll to-day but were frightened away empty-handed. The men, in an automobile waited at a point along the route by which James A. Thompson, 55, for 30 years paymaster of the plant, ordinarily went from the First Ma tional bank to the mill. To-day. however, Thompson made the trip via a different route but the highwaymen, undaunted, appeared at the plant just as he returned to it with the money.
 The gunmen encountered workman outside the mill office and ordered him to keep moving" The workman slipped into the of- flee and told H. w. Crawford. agent of the mill. that a holdup i'm pended. As the four men ap- preached the office door through which Paymaster Thompson had just passed. Chester Ballard. an employe of the mill. backed truck up to the door to remove waste paper from the office. With the entrance blocked by the truck, the four men turned suddenly, leaped into an automobile and sped away.
 A mile down the road the auto mobile stopped near another mill while the fugitives hastily changed a. tire. Later seven machine-gun bullets were found at the spot. The registration plates on the auto mobile were stolen recently in Roxbury, police said.

saulted him and members of his council. Sir Richard was struck in the face and cuffed and bruised. Members of the mob, including some of the toughest elements of the city. smashed the windows and doors of the prime minister's office. They seized Sir Richard by the collar and legs, picked him up and threatened to hurl him into the street unless he compiled with their demands immediately.
 The prime minister agreed to telephone authorities distributing food and the dole to increase the usual allowances. The mob then left his office, and led other dem onstrators outside the government building. The rioters numbered about 2,000 and included many women. They went to the dole of flee on the water front and took charge of relief distribution. Om- cials in there issued rations four times greater than usual. Even this did not satisfy the mob, which demanded all-night service. The crowd finally was cleared out of the dole office after receiving enough rations to satisfy them for the moment.

THREE NATIONS IN

 Shanghai, Feb 12-(UP)-The crashing thunder of heavy artillery in the Chapel sector at 2:15 D. m. 1:15 a. m. EST) to-day shattered the brief truce during which I saw thousands of frightened, monde script non-c n-combatants hurriedly evacuated from the war zone.
 Big guns, silenced for six hours, roared along the she'll battered front in the renewed offensive for control of the lower Yangtze delta.
 At 9:10 p. m. (8:10 a. m. EST) the Chinese began a general at- tack on the Chapel front.
 Rifles and machine guns joined in the artillery bonn bardment. The heaviest fighting in three days was in progress.
 The mbardment began just outside international settlement. Soon the entire Chapel front was aElaze with big guns spouting de- struction in a rising roar.
 The truce apparently was not observed at Woosung. where inter- mittent shelling by Japanese war ships on the Chinese forts contin- ued during the entire day. The truce in Shanghai was marred by sporadic Chinese sniping which in- terfered with evacuation of refu. gees and other relief work.
 The resumption of hostilities ironically enough coincided with arrival of the American, British and French ministers in Shanghai on a new concerted peace mission.

 The testimony was placed before a federal grand jury here last fal. and an indictment charging viola tion of the corrupt practices act was returned. Cannon pleaded not guilty and filed a demurrer. He argued that the campaign involved the selection of presidential elec- tors and that presidential electors are state and not federal officers. Therefore, he maintained, no fed eral statute requiring reports of campaign expenditures applied. He also covered other points. some of which were routine, in his de- murrer.
 Cannon is bishop of the meth odist Episcopal church, south.
 Leo A. Rover. U. S. attorney for the District of Columbia, in charge of the prosecution of the case, an- nounced that he would appeal to the district appellate court from Justice Proctor's decision.
 Cannon, who was at his Wash ington office today. would make no comment for the moment although 1t was possible he would issue a statement later.

Washington, Feb 12.-(UP)- Justice J. M. Proctor in District of Columbia supreme court, today handed down a decision sustaining the demurrer to the indictment of Bishop James Cannon, Jr, on charges of violating the corrupt practices act.
 The action has the effect of quashing the indictment against Cannon unless the government ap- peals and obtains a reversal of Jus tce Proctor's ruling in the higher courts.
 The demurrer was sustained on the grounds that none of the counts in the indictment against Cannon alleged criminal offense.
 The Cannon case grew out of testimony before the senate com mittee Investigating campaign ex- penditures. It was alleged that Cannon received some $65,000 for expenditure in Virginia where he. a democrat, was fighting the can- didacy of Alfred E. Smith for president in 1928. Of this amount, it was maintained. only portion was accounted for in reports filed by Cannon's organization with the clerk of the house of representa-
