COURT GRANTS
FURTHER DELAY
IN JUDD TRIAL.
Accused Woman Peeved
At Treatment Received
On Her Birthday.

PHOENIX, Jan. 20. U.P)-Not
| worried because she was on trial
for murder but considerably an
noyed because she could not have
her hair marcelled, Winnie Ruth
Judd, accused slayer of two girl
friends, passed her 9th birthday
in her cell in county Jail here to-
day.
The Jail routine was broken only
by a short trip to the court of
Superior Judge Howard Speakman
where her trial in the death of Mrs.
Agnes Anne LIE Roi was recessed
further until Monday morning be-
cause of illness among the jurors.
Usually calm and unperturbed,
Mrs. Judd was visibly upset as she
explained to her husband, DR.. Will
liam C. Judd, that she was mot
being treated right at the jail"
She told him about the marcel
and also that she had four hemor-
rhages during the night. DR.. Judd
was inclined not to believe what
she said about the hemorrhages al
though Mrs. Judd is said to be tu-
bercular.
Yesterday Mrs. Judd sent a hur-
ried call for her lawyers when she
first was refused permission to get
a hairdresSer. They advised her
to fix her own hair.
Mrs. Judd asked to have her par
ents, the Rev. H. j. and Mrs. Nc
Kinnell, visit her in her cell "be-
cause it's my birthday but Sheriff
j. r. McFadden indicated he would
prevent the visit.
Parents Visit Denied
What difference does it make if
it is her birthday?" he said today
In answer to a question about such
visit.
The sheriff refused the retired
minister and his wife permission to
see Mrs. Judd yesterday, too.
At the short session today, Judge
Speakman again minimized reports
that mistrial was possible.
I'll keep the court at recess for
week, if necessary, rather than
to force the state and defense to
the expense of starting this trial
over again." Judge Speakman said.
The recess originally was called
Wednesday afternoon when two
jurors, M. T. White and Joseph
Standige, were i'll with severe colds.
Later third juror, Pete Lassen.
was taken i'll.
Lassen was reported recovered
this morning but the other two still
were in bed and it was impossible
to continue because only one alter
nate was selected.

GENEVA, Jan. 90. - China in
voked Articles x and XIV of the
League of Nations covenant today
opening the way for invocation of
an economic boycott aginst Japan
while its spokesman demanded ac-
ton, not words. The articles in
volved call on the league to guar
antee league members against ag-
greSSion and provide that disputes
not submitted to arbitration or jul
dicial settlement be submitted to
the league council.
China reserved the right, how
ever, to invoke other articles as
the situation developed.
China's action, announced Off
cially by DR.. w. w. Yen, was the
most determined step she has taken
before the league, for it indicated
that she might invoke Article XVI.
providing for an economic and fin
ancial boycott against an aggressor.
Article XVI never has been in
yoked, due to the fear that it might
not be possible to make it effective.
in which case the leagues prestige
would be seriously damaged.
DR.. Yen explained that in view
of the Shanghai situation he had
acted on his standing instructions.
Article XIV provides that if the
council cannot settle the dispute.
1t can, either unanimously or by a
majority vote, publish a report of
the facts of the dispute and the
recommendation for settlement.
The league attempts to complete
temporary truce in the Manchur-

KEEP UP HUNT
FOR LOST SUB
Rough Seas Greatly Ham,

BY SIDNEY ]. WILLIAMS
United Press Staff Correspondent

PORTLAND. Eng, Jan. 20. -
Search for the submarine M-2 con-
tinued today in the angry channel
although weary crews Of rescue
ships and anxious crowds ashore
had given up all hope of saving
the So men aboard.
Heavy seas hindered operations
of minesweepers and destroyers as
they scraped the ocean floor.
Divers were ready to go below but
probably can not.
A section of the rescue fleet was
sent north of Portland where a
sweep brought up two submarine
hand flags believed to have be-
longed to the M-2 The sweep
parted close to the surface. Op-
erations were resumed there in the
hope further traces Of the M-2
might be found.
-Four lifting "camels," huge CYL
inders employed to raise sub
marines, joined the rescue craft
and increased the excitement of
the crowd on shore The camels
are submerged alongside a sub
marine and secured with wire
hawsers, after which water is
pumped out of the camels by COM
pressed air and the buayance of
the cylinders raises the submarine.
The commanding officer in
charge of the search reported
divers had been unable to reach
two distractions located soon after
the M-2 disappeared, but hau
reached one six miles north of
Portland which proved to be part OF
a wreck.
Sounds tonight possibly to be tap
ping from the imprisoned in the
Mp have not been heard since
Thursday afternoon. The silence
indicated 60 more men had joined
hundreds of former comrades and
former enemies in the grim, sub
merged cemetery of Dead Mans
Bay.
Additional submarines and sloops
joined the searching fleet at dawn.

United States And Great
Britain Ask Japanese
To Be Careful.
REPLY RECEIVED
Other Powers Invited To
Make Representations
On Shanghai Invasion.
BY JOSEPH ii. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Secre-
tary OF State Stimson announced
today that the United States and
Great Britain had made formal
representations to Japan, stating
they hoped there would be no mil
itary occupation of the interna-
tional settlement at Shanghai un-
less police were unable to protect
Japanese lives and property.
France and Italy were advised
through their ambassadors here OF
the Anglo American action. This
was regarded as an informal bid
for them also to make representa-
tions. Secretary Stimson had not
been informed as to what action
France and Italy will take.
The announcement was after a
cabinet meeting at which President
Hoover and his secretaries discussed
a wide range of subjects but gave
much attention to the situation in
the Far East.
The American representations
were made on Wednesday. Stimson
has received a reply from Japan
assuring him the japanese would
pursue a careful course.
The secretary said the proposal
to Great Britain for joint repre-
sentations was the only one the
United States had made. His use
of the word proposal was not un-
derstood to refer to informal private
discussions of other possible joint
action in the Far East.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90 U.P)-
Sir Ronald Lindsay, British ambas-
sador. called on Secretary of State
Stimson today and informed him
that Great Britain would join the
United States in making present.
ations to Japan.
Stimson went at once to the
White House to present the British
memorandum before cabinet
meeting.
The British attitude was des-
cribed at the state department as
very satisfactory"
LONDON. Jan. %. U.D Great
Britain made representations to
Japan today, hoping no action
would be taken by Japanese forces
inside the international settlement
of Shanghai before consulting other
countries.
Great Britain invited the United
States to make similar representa-
tions to Toxic.
The British representations con-
stituted Britain's reply to the note
from Secretary of State Stimson of
the United States to Japan.
Britain asked Japan also for in
formation on recent developments.
No British troops will be sent to
Shanghai because sufficient are
already there, it was said.

Evening star., 1932-05-10


1t was exactly 4:3s pm. (10:3s am.
Eastern standard time) when the off,
cial tabulation Of the presidential voting
was announced.
Premier Andre Tardieu presented his
resignation this evening to President
Lebrun.
Albert Francois lie Brun is something
Of protege Of Raymond Poincare. Only
few days ago NJ. Poincare, battling
what may be his last illness, declared
he would refuse to doom himself to
perpetual retirement. In a way, M. lie
Bruins election to the presidency car
ries the wartime Presidents influence
into the Elysee Palace.
The new President was elected to the
Chamber of Deputies In 1900. Subse-
quently Poincare placed him at the
head Of the sinking fund commission,
an institution for reducing the national
debt and one Of Poincare's favorite
projects.
With Poincare's backing, M. lie Brun
became the president of the general
council Of the department of Meurthe
and Moselle, the province which he has
represented so long in Parliament.
But the fact that LIE Brun was a
Poincare man never meant that he was
merely q "yes man." Three times he
was minister Of colonies. In 1911. 1912
and 1918. The end Of the latter year
found him minister Of war: In 1917 he
was minister of blockade and In 1918
minister Of the liberated regions.
Two years later he was elected to
the Senate, were he became an active
member of the union republican group.
Departmet of Meurthe and Moselle is
the Ohio Of France. Like Ohio, 1t
often has a favorite son among the
presidential candidates.
