FARMER FATHER
: Of INF FANTS,
SHE SAYS
StrangIed Them to Death and
Buried Them in Apple
Boxes, She Tells Police

DAUPHIN, Man, Dec. In
the little Dauphin jailhouse to-
day sat Mrs. Peter Yachup, re.
counting her strange story Of a.
four-year romance with Fred Sto-
wisky, her farm neighbor.
Mother of five living children,
Mrs. Yachup confessed, according
to the authorities, that she gave
birth to the five babies whose
bodies were discovered buried in
apple boxes in her back yard.
She accused StowiSky of hav.
ing been the father Of the babies
and of having strangled them to
death while she looked on.
StOwisky Silent
Stowisky, a widower and father
of three children, sat in another
cell of the Jail, glumly refusing
to utter word. With Mrs.
Yachup he faces trial in Assizes
Court for infanticide.
Court authorities and Royal
Canadian Mounted Police Off
cials, hardened by years Of con-
tact with many fantastic crimes
of this wild region. expressed
amaZement at the story related
by Mrs. Yachup. She said:
with his own hands he
strangIed them to death in
those apple boxes"
She told of how she and her
husband and their five children
came to this district in 1921 and
settled on a farm near Angus
vile, a village of 200 inhabi-
tants. She said her husband
left for the United States four
years ago and occasionally sent
her money.
Worked For StOwisky
Shortly after his departure,
Mrs. Yachup was engaged as q
cook at Stowisky's farm home,
where she used to go daily. She
spoke of the births of each Of
the subsequently murdered chill
dren.
She described the quarrel she
had with Stowisky when he &C
cused her of having set fire to his
stable. It was then that she
wrote an anonymous letter to a
justice of the peace. directing Of
ficials to the spot where the new.
horn I@a hieS low buried
This letter led to the discovery
of the crudely inferred bodies and
the arrest of the man and woman.
Authorities said Mrs. Yachup
sobbed and moaned as she mar.
rated her story. She and Sto-
wisky were brought here from
Angusville yesterday. The wom-
ans five children were left in the
care of neighbors.

SESSION
EXPECTED BY
ROOSEVELT
Unavoidable, He Fears, As
Farm Aid Snag Rises Before
Lame Duck Congress

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Dec. l
Q.NSO. - President elect Roose-
velt virtually has abandoned hope
of avoiding a special session OF
Congress next spring.
Several Senators and Represen-
tatives with whom Governor
Roosevelt has conferred this week
have warned him it will be prac-
tically impossible to enact q COM
prehensive farm relief program at
the lame duck" session.
Mr.. Roosevelt is understood to
have declared that if some action
is not taken at the short session
to help the farmer, he will sum-
mon Congress into special session
Immediately after his inaugura-
ton.
Bond Issue Considered
The President-elect is said to be
confident the Federal budget can
be balanced without imposing any
new taxes, except a levy on beer.
At the same time, he has made it
plain he will not hesitate to
recommend new taxes if they are
needed for unemployment relief
Governor Roosevelt has been
giving careful study to a Federal
bond issue to cover the cost of all
self-liquidating Federal construc-
ton projects as another means of
balancing the budget without re-
sorting to new taxes.
This would involve long-term
borrowing by the Federal Gov.
ernment. Mr.. Roosevelt will not
reach any decision on this pro-
posal until after he takes over
the reins Of Government.
Senator Tom Connally of Texas.
who stopped here on his way to
Washington, told Mr.. Roosevelt
many Democratic Senators are
convinced the Federal budget can
be slaShed by $500, 0,000,0 900.
GraysOn Awaited
Rather than impose new taxes,
Senator Connally said he told
the President-elect, the Federal
Government should borrow money
at the prevailing low rates.
DR.. Cary T. Grayson, chairman
of the committee in charge of
the inaugural ceremony. was due
here today to discuss plans for
that event with Governor Roose-
velt. He will be accompanied by
Breckenridge Long, Assistant Sec
retary of State in the Wilson Ad,

denial of their rights to meet and
| parade"
Assurance of the unions readi-
ness to cooperate has been sent
William Reynolds, chairman, and
Herbert Benjamin, secretary of
the Unemployed Councils ma
tional committee, now in the Capt.
tai arranging for food and shelter
for the marchers.
No Welfare Help
Leroy Halbert, of the relief COM
mittee of the Board of Public We'll
fare, told a special Senate District
subcommittee today that hunger
marchers could not be helped by
his organization and could expect
no relief if they came here.
Senator Royal S. Copeland (DO
of New York said he believed it
should be made plain that Wash
ington is no place for hunger
marchers to come, as there are
already more than $4,000 unem-
ployed here, and that even now
people in the District are hungry
and are getting less food than
they actually need.
Copeland said that, although he
sympathized with the desire of
the unemployed to get relief, it
was futile for them to march on
Washington, and that nothing
could be gained by petitioning
Congress.
Conditions Very Bad
Halbert said he viewed with
great apprehension the approach
of winter, and that workers report
that people have been seen eating
from garbage pals and existing in
other terrible conditions.
District heads are admittedly
divided in their opinions on how
the marchers should be handled.
Recalling the ease with which the
marchers were handled under the
lenient policy Of Brig. Gen. Pei
ham D. Glassford last December,
some of the District heads ap-
parently fear that the more strin-
gent policy this year will lead only
to trouble.
Roads to Be Guarded
The marchers will enter Wash
nigton Sunday from three ap-
proaches, if present plans are
followed. One group will enter
by the Baltimore Boulevard, an
other by Highway Bridge, and the
third by Wisconsin Avenue. It
is this third group, made up Of
marchers from Chicago and other
Western cities, which police are
watching with, most trepidation.
Police guards will be set on
all entrances to the city Sunday
and all police leaves have peen
cancelled. Asked if the men
guarding the roads would be
equipped with tear gas bombs,
Major Brown merely said:
"They will be properly and
fully equipped"

Debt Issue Puts
Herriot in Peril

PARIS, Dec. l G.N.SO.-Possi-
bility that Premier Herriot Of
France may be forced out of
office over the war debt issue
was threatened today as irrecon-
cilable Chamber of Deputy ele-
ments moved to force early de-
bate on payment of the Decem-
ber instalment to the United
States.
A government spokesman ad-
mitted the Premier would demand
a vote of confidence on the issue.
It was understood Deputy Louis
Marin, outright opponent of pay,
.ment. had refused the request of
the chambers finance committee
to postpone Interpolation of Her.
riot on the debt question until
December 8.
Marin was reported busily gath
ering the signatures of so depu.
ties necessary to force debate on
the issue before the chamber this
afternoon.
Informed political circles ex
pressed the belief, however, that
Premier Herriot would manage tc
obtain a vote of confidence, per
mitting him to proceed with the
debt negotiations.
The new note to the United
States was approved at a cabinet
meeting with President Lebrun in
the chair. It was announced the
note would be forwarded to Wash
ington this afternoon.

Playwright Holds
Church Loses Touch

NEW YORK, Dec. IUPO.
The church has been a failure in
war and peace and has lost touch
with the active life and thought
of the world, John Drinkwater,
British playwright, and poet, de-
clared in an address at Column
bia University last night. He said:
"The church in 1914 ought to
have refused flatly to support
or cOuntenance the madness
that was driving the world to
defy every tenet Of Christianity.
Instead the church Joined en-.
Enthusiastically in the row to it's

At the same time, Oswald

vived an old argument against
payment to the United States.
He announced he would ask

would stake the opportunity af'
forded by the present war debt

FUSHUN, Manchuria, Dec. l
GN.SD.-I returned to Fushun
today from the scene of a mas
sacre after trodding the damp
earth where 2,70c Chinese men,
women and children were put to
death by japanese machine gun
nerS on suspicion of harboring
Chinese soldiers in their homes.
came to Fushun from Muk-
den and embarked upon a tour
of what were once the villages
of Chunchinpu and adjacent COM
munities, all lying within So
mile radius southeast of this city.
No Doubt Possible
What saw with my own eyes
and heard from the lips of
refugees and inhabitants leaves
no possibility of doubt.
The unbelievable massacre took
place.
The evidence which I found
cannot be disputed.
The charred remains of the
three villages put to the torch
when their residents had been
slain thrust blackened brick and
mud walls to heaven like plain
tive arms.
In one community, there was
nothing left alive, not even so
much as a mongrel dog.
All Tell Same Story
Every Chinese farmer, peasant.
coolie and child of either sex
that I found still alive in that
valley of death told the same
story.
The Japanese came and herded
the villagers together like cattle
in a corral, took them to nearby
slopes and hillsides at bayonets'
point, and there slaughtered
them.
Their little homes were doused
with kerosene and put to the
torch.
Why was it done?
The answer was always the
same. It was in reprisal against
these villages because Chinese
rebel troops who attacked Fushun
on a night in mid-September,
causing damage of 35G,000 yen
and killing several japanese,
passed through that district be-
fore or afterwards.
