WASHINGTON E
 AWAITING THE
 JAPAN ANSWER
Official Sources of That Country Say the Reply Will Be COnciliatOry

Washington, Jan 9--(UP)-Se- cretary of State Stimson, having spoken frankly to Japan about American rights in the Orient, to- day anxiously awaited reply. Japanese official sources indicated the reply would be conciliatory. and would be delivered by Ambas- sador Katsiju Debuchi here.
 Stimson's invocation of the rights of American citizens under the Kellogg treaty and the nine power pact was contained in notes to both Japan and China, but the former is primarily concerned.
 Officials here understand the League of Nations commission of inquiry into conditions in Manchu- ria will swing into action soon. It Is to review and report on the conditions arising from Japan's victorious march through south ern Manchuria and the resultant breakdown of Chinese government in the three eastern provinces.
 It is expected Maj Gen Frank Mccoy. who supervised the 1928 presidential elections in Nicaragua. will be the American member of the delegation.

JAPAN CABINET
 HAS DECIDED TO STAY IN OFFICE
Members Resigned Yes. terday After an Attempt Was Made to Assassin. ate Emperor

Tokio, Jan 9.-(UP)--The cabi. net of Premier Inukai decided to remain in office to-day as Emperor Hirohito refused resignations sub mitted after q young Korean threw a bomb at the Japanese ruler.
 It Is traditional for the govern ment. in office to offer to resign when an attack Is made on the em- peror, on the grounds that the min istry is responsible for the em- peror's safety.
 This is particularly applicable to the home minister and the war minister, who are responsible for the gendarmerie and the police.
 The ministers decided to remain in office, however, and therefore had to plead guilty of carelessness.
 Police continued examination of the emperor's assailant, who will be tried by the supreme court. hanged. and buried in an unmark- ed grave. It was revealed that he had been detained during the emperor's enth-onement at Kyoto. Oficials sought to determine his connection with Korean terrorists.
 Tokio morning newspapers pub lished only the bare announcement of the attack, in which nobody was hurt, and made no comment in compliance with police regulations.

 washington, Jan e--(U. .P.) -- An indictment of California's < handling of the Mooney. Billings case was submitted to the senate yesterday in the form of, . report prepared by experts of the Wick. ersham commission.
 The com mission refused to ac~ cept responsibility for the report which makes grave charges against the manner in which convictions were obtained of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings on charges of participating in the bombing of Q preparedness day parade in San Francisco in 1916.
 The conclusions of the Wicker sham experts were as follows:
 "There never was an scientific attempt made by the police or the prosecution to discover the perpet- rators of the crime:
 "The investigation was in reality turned over to a private detective. who used his position to. cause the arrest of the defendants.
 '"The police investigation was re- duced to a hunt for evidence to convict the arrested defendants.
 There was fragrant violations of the statutory law of California by both the police and tn prosecution in the manner in which the'1 sde- fendants were arrested and held in- communicate. and in the subse- quent searches of their homes to procure evidence against them.
 After the arrest of the defend ants. witnesses were brought to the jails to identify them and their identifications. were accepted by the police and the prosecution des. bite the fact that these witnesses were never required to pick the de- fendants out of a lineup or to demonstrate their accuracy by any other test.
 After the arrests of the defend ants there followed a deliberate at tempt to arouse public prejudice against them. by a series of almost daily interviews given to the press by prosecuting officials.
 Witnesses were produced at the trials with information in the hands of the prosecution that ser

 Washington, Jan 9.-(UP)-- The democratic national committee met to-day to select a convention city and prepare for the presi- dential fight, keyed up to a spirit of victory in the fight by Jackson day meetings last night.
 Forces of Governor Franklin b. Roosevelt went into the meeting determined to prevent the conven. ton from going to Chicago, which they believe would be q hostile setting. They favored Kansas City. San Francisco also sought the con- vention.
 Roosevelt forces also exerted their hand in arranging for the election of Robert Jackson, New Hampshire national committeeman, to fill out the unexpired term of the late Charles Greenhouse of In. diana as secretary of the commit tee.
 Differences over apportionment of delegates to the convention also were in evidence.
 Though factional rivalry be- hind tho various candidates Is keen. democrats, seeing the coveted prize dangling more closely than at any time since 1916, are mak- ing heroic efforts to subdue their party temperament into harmony.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-09

Under no other city or town department was a charge account allowed, even under the old char ter, but the situation was differ- ent in the town clerks office. Un- der the old charter all fees collect ed in the town clerks office were collected and kept by the town clerk. Therefore, if she wanted to charge fees for persons doing n large business with her office 1t was her own affair and she stood to lese if the bills were not paid.
 Now, though, all bills go direct- 1y into the city treasury and Town Clerk Egan merely draws her an- nual salary. She has no Jurisdic- ton over the money collected and, therefore, cannot run charge ac- counts for anybody.
 This change in arrangements took many local lawyers, real es- tate men and others by surprise during the past week. Those who ] called and said "charge It. were told that there was nothing doing. Clerks who called from lawyers offices with writs or attachments and wanted the fee put on the em- pioycrs' bills were told~to go back and get the cash. Real estate agents were treated accordingly. | In past years an unusually large number of charge accounts were run by the town clerk. This was not . new practice under the pres ert incumbent but was also fol- lowed by her predecessors as q matter of convenience to persons using the town clerks office files on q largo scale. Now. though, and for the future the rule will be leash on delivery"
