LULL COMES IN
PEACE EFFORTS
u. S. to Defer Action in
Far East.
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The
administration, it appeared today,
plans for the present to follow a
"hands-off" policy toward the
Chinese Japanese imbroglio.
The whole far eastern situation
was canvassed in detail at a cabinet
meeting Tuesday. No formal de-
cision was made, and it is under
stood the cabinet members were di-
vlded in opinion. Some felt Amer
lea should continue its peace efforts.
Others felt these efforts, at pres
ent, were futile. 1t appears the
latter groups opinion win prevail.
Secretary of State Stimson had
before him an appeal from nine i'm
portant Chinese business men in
Shanghai, asking the United States
to counsel Japan to honor her
plighted word and collaborate with
your government and other co-sig-
natories (of the Kellogg and nine
power pacts) in the establishment
of durable peace in the far east"
If Japan "can not be persuaded
to listen to reason" the appeal said,
"the pact signatories should employ
economic sanctions, or other speedy
and more effective measures, to
preserve peace"
After the cabinet meeting, Slim
son talked with Sir Ronald Lind
say, British ambassador, and No
bile Giacomo de MARITIME, Italian
ambassador.
Both ENJOYS said later that no
further peace moves by the western
powers were contemplated now.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. Baby
Diana Moore's "1,O00-to-1 chance

noted surgeons said there is no hope
for her to be other than an idiot.
They examined the 13-months-
old child when her mother, Mrs.
Lillian Moore, 10, demanded a

"The child is microcepholic," an
official statement by the neurology
cal center said. "She had con-
CENTRALLY undeveloped brain and
nervous system. She can not be
benefited by any surgical pro-
cedure."
Mrs. Moore took her child back

spend her life trying to teach the

For it removes the posi-
bility of Frank Mayr Jr., now
secretary of state, from the
field as a possible candidate
for the governorship.
Speculation has been rife for
months regarding Mayr's plans. III
making announcement today as a
candidate to succeed himself, Mayr
gave a statement to The Times.
Announces His Candidacy
II am a candidate for renomina-
ton and reelection to the Office of
secretary of state" he said, "and
will submit my candidacy to my
party and the electorate on the
character of service rendered by the
several departments of the state
government that have been under
my charge as secretary of state
during the last fourteen months.
1T is not in disparagement of the
efforts of my predecessors that
say that I have striven constantly
to increase the efficiency of these
departments since taking Office, and
I am grateful for the many express
sions of satisfaction and good will
that have come to me from those
who have had occasion to transact
business with my Office.
Appreciates Party's Faith
st am deeply appreciative Of the
generous partiality Of my fellow
Democrats in selecting me as their
standard bearer in the last state
election, and I hope my official
conduct and personal contacts have
been of character to retain their
favor and cause them again to
place me on their ticket for the
Office of secretary of state when
candidates for higher posts in the
duties of state and nation will
lead the contest"
No major scandals have occurred
in any of the offices held by the
Democrats at the Statehouse during
the last two years.
Treasurer William Storen has ia
ken care of the states cash with
considerable fortitude during a pc
Rod when bank failures have oc-
CURED almost daily, which might
have meant wiping out great sums
through injudicious deposits.
Records Are Good
AS auditor, Floyd E. Williamson
has collected $1,5O0,00O more gaso-
line tax in year than have Off
Gals of any previous regime, de-
spite the depression.
George G. Cole has carried on the
work of the state superintendent
without criticism and now is leading
fight to retain Indiana's fine
school standards against the on
slaught of any false economy, while
at the same time favoring cutting
governmental costs wherever pos
Sible.
All candidates agreed with the
Mayr statement that they will run
for reelection on their records.

Chinese.
A statement issued by the route
army headquarters called the
worlds attention to what it claimed
was a plan of the japanese to en-
tangle the Chinese in the wrath OF
the foreign patrols of the interna-
tional settlement.
The Chinese have been warned
by the powers of the settlement
against retreating into or violating

tional settlement forces.
UnfairneSS Is Hinted
The Chinese troops, said the
statement, have been ordered to
avoid overt acts that might bring
them into conflict with the settle
ment authorities. But, the present
course of the foreigners in allowing
Japan to land forces in the settle
ment and use it as a base of opera
tons against the Chinese smackS of
foreign disregard and the neutrality
of the settlement, the statement
charges, in effect.
The statement concluded with an
appeal to the world to force for
eign troops not to carry out their
announced intention of firing upon
the Chinese if they invade-in fight
Or pursuit-or endanger the settle
ment.
U. S. Troops Shifted
Foreign defenders of the settle
ment were on the alert for any con-
tingency During the recent fight
ing, japanese shells fell within fifty
yards of the American position in
the settlement, manned by Amer
lean volunteers.
The position will be taken over
today by troops OF. the Thirty-flrSt
United States infantry. Six hundred
French reinforcements arrived
Wednesday from Indo-China aboard
the flagship cruiser Waldeck-Rous-
Seau.
More than twenty shells have
fallen within the international set
tlement during the last twenty-four
hours, American Consul General
Edwin S. Cunningham reported to-
day. One of the shells injured a
British woman.
