PANIC
HARVEST TIME
FOR LOOTERS
French Police Nab Raiders in
Neutral Area, Find Treasure
Carried From, Chapel
BY JOHN GoETTE

News Service)

SHANGHAI, Feb. ) (LN.S).
Leaving their ruined dwellings
to the depredations of looters,
Chinese residents of Chapel
today continued their head
long flight from Shanghai.
Like rats scurrying from
holes in the wall, thousands
upon thousands of refugees
fled by every avenue of escape
as shells whistled overhead at
the rate of. one a minute.
Passing from the United States
lines into the British section held
by the Royal Scots Fusiliers, l
saw Soochow Creek, the boundary
line between Chapel and the Inter
national Settlement, packed solid
with refugee junks, each carrying
upwards Of SO Chinese, loaded
down with whatever belongings
they could carry.
BOmberS Overhead
A Royal Scots sentry told me
this wild flight was going on day
after day with crowds patiently
waiting at the wharves for a
chance to flee.
Men with packs of bedding on
their shoulders, women carrying
babies, and children with dogs
and chickens under their skinny
arms jam and jostle on the piers.
Now and then some less stout
hearted refugee darts panic
stricken from the crowd into
some sheltering doorway as Jap
anese bombing planes zoom over
head in the direction OF the
Chinese military lines.
LOOters Reap Harvest
Looters behind the japanese
and Chinese lines increased by
the hour. From the settlement
boundaries, men could be seen
entering deserted houses and car
rying off goods and furniture, un-
molested either by Japanese or
Chinese.
Along the boundary road area,
looters were observed lodging
between the japanese and Chi.
nese lines, ignoring the risk OF
death in their desire to pillage
buildings. ,
The French police arrested
three in the French concession,
and on investigation found a
treasure house where "a trunks
filled with valuables looted from
Chapel had been stored.

SHANGHAI R AID
FOLLOWS PLAN
! IN MANCHUR|A
Five-Point Peace Proposals
Failure, Landing Of Infantry
Stir New Truce Effort

Secretary of State Stimson
today was rallying the princi-
pal powers of the world to a
definite plan to bring peace
in the Orient.
Faced with the certainty
that Japan is pursuing the
same tactics at Shanghai that
she pursued in the occupation
of Manchuria, Stimson moved
to enlist support of the major
powers for concerted action to
stem Japan s aggression.
This move was prompted by
Nippon's practical rejection Of
the peace proposals" put for.
ward by the United States and
Great Britain. and supported by
France and Italy, as basis for
settling the Shanghai situation.
Jap Marines Fail
Japan has rejected two Of the
five points on which the peace
proposals were based and quail
fled her acceptance of the other
three.
simultaneously she landed 400
regular infantry troops between
Woosung and Shanghai, and dis
patched $500 more.
These regulars of the army are
expected to take over" from the
bluejackets the task of capturing
the city
The bluejackets have failed to
accomplish that object in a full
week of heavy fighting.
Acts Belle Words
These and other moves of the
japanese military indicated that
Japan had acted, while the
peace proposals were under
diplomatic discussion. to improve
her position at Shanghai.
The arrival of the first con-
tingent of Japanese regular army
troops at Woosung yesterday
indicated they had been dis
patched from Japan two days
ago, at the time when Japanese
government officially announced
the cabinet had forbidden the
sending of regular army units to
Shanghai.

GOVERNOR RACE HEATED
State Chairman Morgan Is
Reported as Hopeful of
Nomination.
BY BEN sTERN

Feuds which have been smoldering
for four years have burst into flame
and Hoosier Republicans, on the
eve of their state convention, set for
Wednesday and Thursday, today
found official personnel Of their
state organization split asunder,
In two of the four rooms of state
headquarters are held the confer
euces of the Leslie-M Marshall group,
striving to wrest control of the Indi-
ana Republican organization from
the veteran Senator James E. Wal-
son. In the other two rooms, are
concentrated efforts of those trying
to hold the party in line.
In the middle of this imbroglio,
although not entirely neutral, is
State Chairman Ivan c. Morgan,
who is said to be walking about
with a lightning rod on each
shoulder, hoping that the Governor
nomination will strike in his direc-
ton.
Works for Norman
In furtherance of his own am
billions, Morgan for weeks has been
insisting that his friend, John
Norman of Knox be selected
permanent chairman, so that in
event of a deadlock the spotlight
will be turned in his direction.
1t is an open secret that desperate
efforts have been made to obtain
the permanent Craftsmanship for
Governor Harry G.. Leslie, who said
that he personally had made no
bid, because he is so busy with
special session affairs" but who did
not say that he would refuse the
honor.

mitteewoman, and Mrs. Beryl Hol-
land of Bloomington, state vice
chairman, today called for the
nomination of Arthur H. Sapps

Set-Up Would Be Great
This choice may be changed if
after several ballots it is learned
that he can't go places" With
Leslie as permanent chairman,
backed by his years of experience as
gavel swinger in the house of repre-
sentatives, the set-up would be
perfect.
But Watson, it is learned, has
been insisting that Eliza o. Rogers

Excessive Amounts Paid on
Plumbing Job, Warren
township Claims.

Charges that William H. Cooper,
former Warren township trustee,
paid an excessive price of so, 432
for plumbing fixtures for schools
without advertising, receiving bids,
or letting contracts, were made to-
day before Circuit Judge Harry o.
Chamberlin.
These facts we're barred at hear
ing of a suit against the township,
brought by George H. Rickes,
plumbing contractor. who alleges
1860 is due him for installation of
the fixtures.
Cooper did not deny the charges,
but testified he did not receive
bids, but went on the open market
and bought materials"

tee. refuses to pay the 1860 10
Rickes, who already has collected
S16,762.76.
Probed by State
A state board of accounts probe,
more than a year ago, revealed that
Cooper had paid plumbers and
helpers hgih wages, according to
court testimony.
Evidence introduced indicated
S2.25 an hour was paid plumbers
and SIPS for helpers, contrasting
with S1.85, regular plumbers rate,
and 10 cents for helpers.
John F. Under, Walkers attorney,
alleged that Cooper failed to item
ize plumbing expenditures in his re-
port and no one could tell the act
ual charges"
He further charged there was no
evidence of the advisory board hav-
ing appropriated funds for plumbing
repairs.
Excessive Prices Alleged
"On bills for plumbing are listed
such items as five screws and seven
gasketS for the excessive price Of
$l1.40," Linder declared.
The excessive expenditures. &C
cording to Walker" have thrown
the township into financial straits.
The township owes approximately
$4,000, which Cooper borrowed to
replenish the common school fund,
records show.
Walkers attorneys also alleged
that costs for transporting work
men from shops to the schools were
not itemized properly, but listed as
bills for dray service.
