FEAR CHINESE
RED OUTBREA
StimSon Is Concerned Over
Communist Activity.
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia new
outbreak of what diplomatic re-
ports called red" activity today
complicated Americas efforts to
protect it's nationals in China.
Communistic leaflets are being
distributed among the milling
masses in Shanghai. The American
legation at Peiping quoted a mis-
Sionary, Bishop John O'Shea, as
saying large red army" was adj
vancing on Kanchow.
Secretary of State Stimson met
with his advisers, Assistant Secre-
tary Rogers, DR.. Stanley K. Horn
beck, chief of the state depart
ment's Far Eastern division, and
Allen T. Klotz, special assistant,
Wednesday nighU to consider the
Shanghai situation.
The four men, it was said, found
conditions in "the New York of
China" increasingly difficult. Japan
is reinforcing its troops there. A
major battle, with attendant danger
to foreigners, is feared.
Conferees were said to have de-
cided nothing further can be done
now to quiet Shanghai. A fleet of
vessels, 1000 marines, and 1000
land troops are standing by to pro-
tect the 5000 civilians in the city.
New instructions were sent to the
consulate in Shanghai Wednesday
night. They were kept strictly Sc
cret, and it could not be determined
whether they dealt with the latest
accommodating by japanese

tlement, where American marines

WITNESS ASSAILS
VEHLING'S TACTICS

a gentleman" the witness told the
jury.
He said Vehling threatened him,
with the assertion that he had
something that will make it hard
for you"
Stickel also testified that Vehling
told him verdicts in the death cases
had not been returned and "if you
take the bodies away, I'll make a
change in the verdict"
Threat Is Alleged
The state alleges Vehling tried to
force relatives of the gas victim to
pay more than $4,000 in insurance
and money, an automobile and
household furnishings, for the bu-
rails.
1t is alleged VehIing threatened to
return suicide verdicts, instead of
ones of accidental death, and de-
feat collection of double indemnity
on insurance unless he was paid.
Stickel also related that Vehling
suggested burial Of the three vic
tins be in Memorial Park.
HE told me it was a nice place
and his father was interested in it, -
the witness said.
Verbal war broke out between
Stickel and Eph Inman, defense at
torney, on cross-eXamination, after
1nman had questioned him on eff
forts to get caSket for Coble.
Slaps Back at Lawyer
They didn't get it from PhiIa-
delphia, because they didn't have
time, "Stickel said. IT guess Vehl-
ing thought he wasn't going to get
to bury Coble, because the coroner
had a policeman on the front porch
during the funeral"
Stickel charged Vehling had no
right to take the bodies without
permission of relatives"
You work for an automobile
company, you're not a lawyer" In
man said.
ut doesn't take lawyer to know
those bodies should have remained
in the morgue until a relative gave
permission for removal" Stickel re-
torted.
You've got intelligence, haven't
you" Inman asked.
It hope I have"
Stickel was asked whether, the
bodies Of Coble and BENJAMIN
Stickel were clothed properly.
"The suits cost $40 and I'd hate
to pay that again." he said. "They
weren't worth $40.

to remain here, Stickel told Inman
