SENATE UPH0LDS
MEYER PROTEST
ON GLASS BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. U.P) =
Republican senate leaders decided
today to shelve the Glass banking
bill and concentrate instead Upon
an effort to obtain speedy action
on the Thomas bill for relief of
depositors in closed banks.
The decision followed vigorous
protests by Gov. Eugene Meyer of
the federal reserve board and
George l.. Harrison, governor of
the New York Federal Reserve
bank, against the drastic banking
regulations sponsored by Senator
Glass Dem.) Va.
Shelving of the Glass bill would
enable leaders to make material
changes in the measure.
1t was learned that Glass efforts
to prevent leakage of federal re-
serve credit into stock market
speculation had caused him to i'll
clude in his bill provisions con-
sidered by Meyer to be deflation-
ary. The Republican leaders have
decided to eliminate these pro-
visions, which include new regula-
ton of the 15-day borrowing from
the federal reserve system and new
requirements with respect to re-
serve of federal banks.

Soviet Planning
Flight To Arctic

MOSCOW. Jan. 81. U.P) - A
scouting flight from KraSnoparsk,
in Siberia, to Port Igarka, an Arc
tic station on the Karsky sea, is
planned by the Soyiets this winter.
The Arctic air ace, Boris Chuk-
novsky, hero of the Noble rescue,
will pilot a tri-motored, all-metal
monoplane in the 2000-mile trip.
The purpose of the expedition is
to study the region. map out
winter Arctic routes and spot COIL
venient landing places. All this
in view of using airplanes as a
means of transporting men and
supplies to the Arctic stations, and
to carry products back, such as
furS and precious ores.
The Soviet is making tremen-
douS efforts to open the Arctic
for exploitation. 1t contains enor-
nous riches Of furS, minerals and
lumber.
So far the difficulties have been
almost insurmountable, because the
region is almost cut off during the
long winter months by snow and
ice. Heretofore, communication
has been possible in the summer
only by river scows and steamers
in the northern seas, and in the
winter only by dog team and rein
deer sleigh.

SHANGHAI. Jan. Foreigners
were warned today to remain
within the international settlement
and the French concession in an
ticipation of possible bamba-dment,
invasion or occupation of the city
Thursday or Friday.
The imminence of drastic
action by japanese forces here
appeared to increase steadily as
plans for defense of foreign sattle-
mentS were completed.
The Japanese have 10 warships
and 1000 marines here; Chinese
forces total about 10000. Fourteen
more japanese warships are en-
route to Shanghai.
II was believed that the mayor
Of Greater Shanghai would reply
to the Japanese ultimatum today
but that Admiral ShiosaWa would
regard the reply as too late. Japa-
nese have demanded that anti
japanese activities be curbed.
The United Press was informed
the Chinese reply to the Japanese
demands had not even been
drafted.
The Japanese expected that the
Chinese reply, if forthcoming,
would mean unconditional sur
render to their demands. They
would not state whether the reply

TO HOLD INQUEST
INTO DEATH OF
TRAGEDY VICTIM

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 81. U.P)-
An inquest was TO be held today
into the death of Mrs. Winifred
Williams, %, who was found un-
conscious on a highway at the
endge of the city last Friday.
Although authorities expressed
the opinion that the young woman
was thrown from a speeding auto
mobile. it was admitted that there
was little chance to clear up the
mystery of her death at the in
quest.
The suspects, still held today by
deputy sheriffs, were William Will
liamS, brother-in-l law Of Mrs. Will
liams and a gambling barge en-
ployee, and William Martin, a
baker. Although Williams pro-
duced an alibi when first arrested,
deputy sheriffs later announced
they were investigating what ap-
peared to be a flaw in his account
ing of his whereabouts last Friday.
The baker was held on the story
of a fellow employee that Martin
had boasted of throwing girl
from his machine. Martin denied
both the act and the boast but was
held for investigation.
Mrs. Williams had a 6-year-old
daughter in a tuberculosis sani-
tarium, while her husband, Coy
williams, is a patient in a similar
institution in Phoenix, Ariz.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27. U.P)-

DIRECTORS TAKE
NO STAND UPON
BANKS ACTION
Matter OF Warrants Re-
mains UnsOlved After
Discussion.

Irrigation district directors con-
tinued their discussion late yester-
day afternoon of the financial con-
dition caused by refusal of local
banks to accept additional war
rants and also to confer with I'M
perial merchants and professional
men regarding ways of handling
district time vouchers, no definite
action being taken, however.
1t was suggested by the Imperial
delegation that the banks might be
brought to realize the seriousness
of the situation by pressure being
brought to bear by businessmen
and other citizens.
Every merchant and businessman
in the valley is being made to suf-
fer" said Judge Herman Conger,
''it is not the district employees
alone. If the banks could be made
to realize the situation, they might
change their policy"
He then suggested that chambers
of commerce in the valley be asked
to send representatives to the bank
W SO OFCl DllC olDudtlOll.
Rose said it was the place of
the board to tell either the cham
bers of commerce or the banks
what they should do. He expressed
the conviction that the board would
be glad to confer with any delega-
ton but it was not in the province
of the board to dictate to other or
ganizations.
Agreement Cited
DoWd said that at the July con-
ference between the district and
bankers, it was understood that it
would be impossible for the district
to clear up the situation promptly
on either January /, or July l, and
that bankers and district officials
and employees definitely understood
that the matter would be allowed
to run another month to permit all
things in connection with the prob
lem to be cleared up.
The chief engineer also brought
out that when bankers were asked
what attitude they would take in
case of an emergency, they said
emergencies would have to be met
as they came.
I'VE were faced with an emer-
gency when Mexican collections fell
off," said Dowd, and our other COL
lections did not come in as we had
every right to expect under normal
conditions. No concern is doing its
normal amount of business and
why should the district be expected
to do so?
The banks came in Is days be-
fore we expected them and without
any warning in spite of the def
mite understanding made at the
July conference"

BROCKMAN DECLARES DISTRICT
SHOULD GET OUT OF MEXICO

G. w Brockman, chairman of
the Imperial Irrigation District
board of directors, this morning
poured forth before the Ell Centro
Junior Chamber of Commerce
flood of objections to the proposed
All-American canal contract, but
at the last expressed the belief the
contract will be approved by I'm
perial Valley voters when they go
to the polls February Il.
Brockman, one of the district
board minority who has furnished
violent opposition to the contract
in its present form, explained to
members of the junior chamber his
stand.
Influence of Los Angeles politi-
clans and business men was infer
entially blamed by the opposition
director for tentative approval of
the contract, and probable approx
al at the polls.

JURORS ILLNESS
CAUSES RECESS
in JUDD TRIAL
Court Adjourned By
Judge When Physician
Renders His Decision.

COURTROOM, PHOENIZ, Jan.
81. UP)-Winnie Ruth Judd's trial
on the charge she murdered her
former friend, Agnes Anne LIE Roi,
was recessed abruptly here today
bcause of the iliI:ess of two jurors.
Both the jurors were suffering
from colds and Judge Howard
Speakman adjourned court until
O'Clock tomorrow when a physician
advised him that Juror M. T. White
really should be in bed
The other ailing juror was JOS
eph Standige.
Since only one alternate was Sc
lected at the beginning of the
trial, Judge Speakman said he
thought it wise to call the adjourn
ment until either White or Stan
dige recovered definitely.
He said that if both we're still i'll
tomorrow morning a further recess
would be called.
The adjournment was taken after
only two dispositions were intro
duced at the afternoon session.
Judge Speakman, after consult
ing with the physician, said there
was no danger of a mistrial being
called because of the illnesses.

cation today that the son-in-law of

Obregon, received a half million
dollars, or one per cent commits
sion or gratuity" on a $50,000,000

Mr.. Obregon never received any
part Of any commission in connec-
ton with these loans" said Carl

Later he was appointed joint man

Slashed by a fellow prisoner at San

living in Glendale, was tried with
two others in connection with the
payment of $i00 to Richard Ma-
chado to testify falsely in the suit.
Police records here showed
Martin to have been charged by

OKLAHOMA OIL
OPERATORS ASK
IMPORT TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. U.P-
A plea in behalf of all the indie
pendent domestic oil industry from
an import tax on oil was presented
to the house ways and means COM
mittee today by Writ Franklin.
Ardmore, Okla, president of the
Independent Petroleum association.
Franklin in behalf of the asso-
citation advocated a tariff of two
cents a gallon on crude oil. two
cents a gallon on fuel oil, four cents
gallon on gasoline and four cents
gallon on lubricating oil He es-
timated these would bring in sl02.-
ST. .202 annually to the treasury.
The Independent American Oil
Industry can not exist another
year unless foreign imports are re-
duced, Franklin told the commit
tee.
The witness asserted that Amer
ican corporations which are Inn
porting oil. including the Mellon in
tereStS, are waiting only until the
depression drives independent pro-
ducers out of business before buying
up the American oil fields at sher-
iff sale prices"
Then you will have a real oil
monopoly in this country Frank
lin said.
Franklin said restriction OF pro-
duction has been futile In the face
OF the flood of oil imported into
this country, chiefly from vene-
zuela.

LAST RITES FOR
WRECLEY TO BE
Held THURSDAY

PHOENIX, Jan. o. up - The
body Of William Wrigley. jr.,
wealthy gum manufacturer and
sportsman, will be sent today to
Pasadena where funeral services
will be held tomorrow.
Wrigley died here yesterday of
heart attack after an illness of lit
stroke he suffered recently and in
digestion were held to be contribu-
tory causes.
At the Wrigley home here it was
said that the body will be sent to
Pasadena sometime this afternoon.
Burial will be on Catalina Island,
one of the many properties owned
by Wrigley.
Following a brief burial service at
All Saints Episcopal church, the
body will be placed in a vault pend
ing completion of a mausoleum on
Catalina Island, which he owned,
and which is expected to be his
final resting place.
The mauSoleum is expected to be
erected near the hilltop home on
Catalina which Wrigley loved best
of his many residences in the Unit
ed States. There his body will rest,
at the beautiful resort he made
available for use of the public.
All Avalon business places were
closed today and the famous Wrig-
ley chimes will ring out during the
services.
The sportsman passed away after
a serious attack of acute indiges-
ton January ID. which developed
into heart attack. For almost
week corps of doctors and nurses
worked to keep the gum manufac-
turer alive.
During that time Wrigley was
semi : conscious and recognized
members of the family when they
came to his bedside, but he was
not rational, his physician, DR..
George Goodrich, said.
His condition had been kept in
strict secrecy on orders from his
family. He had been in ill-health
for more than a year and during
the last three weeks of his life he
had been confined to his palatial
residence here on doctors orders.
The body will be sent to Pasa-
dena today.

GRAND JURY AT
HAWAII VOTES
ON INDICTMENTS
Prominent Persons Will
Face Second Degree
Murder Charges.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

HONOLULU, Jan. 81. = Hawaii
prepared for the most famous mur-
der trial in island history today as
reluctant grand jury voted four
indictments in the "honor Staying"
of a youthful native.
Active after lengthy delays, the
jurors returned from the true bills
charging second degree murder,
making sure that the four accused
would not be placed in jeopardy
of the moose.
The prisoners, waiting under
guard aboard the navy receiving ship
Alton at Pearl harbor, welcomed
news of the indictments as an op-
portunity for complete vindica-
ton"
Those named are Mrs. Grace
Hubbard Fortescue, 40, socially
prominent wife of Major Granville
Roland Fortescue, soldier, author
and former aide to President Roose-
velt; her son in law, Lieut.. Gg)
Thomas H. Massie, 26, E. j. Lord,
%, and Albert o. Jones, ST, navy
enlisted men,
They are charged with kidnapping
and Staying Joe Kahahawai, who
was one of five islanders tried in
December on charges of attacking
Mrs. Thalia Fortescue Massie, bride
of the lieutenant. They probably
will be tried within a month.
1t was reported that the defend
ants would be taken secretly from
the Alton for arraignment in cir
cult court tomorrow. Defense at
torneys will arrange for bail at
that time, although the four prob
ably will remain at the Pearl har-
Dor navy reservation.
Action Is Surprise
The grand jury's refusal to vote
first degree murder charges after
the four had been thus accused in
police court warrants, took prose-
cutors by surprise. City-County At
torney James Gilliland, Governor
Lawrence M. Judd and Attorney
General Harry Hewitt said thy
were considering the possibility Of
turning over Massie, Lord and
Jones to the navy department for
IA service trial.
Under a "gentlemen's agreement"
between naval and civil authorities,
the navy usually tries any of its
personnel accused of an offense not
involving capital punishment. The
understanding in this case would
not apply to Mrs. Fortescue.
Defense Attorneys Montgomery
Winn and Frank Thompson recent
ly secuted the possibility of such a
move, saying the navy would hest
tate to accept the responsibility
for the widely discussed case, es-
pecially if a verdict of not guilty
were returned
Cheering messages were given by
Mrs. Fortescue and Lieutenant
Massie to the United Press to be

BAKER'SCHANCE
FOR NOMINATION
q tsSt. heNausht syndieels. iss
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 UP) -
The chances of Ohio's becoming
the mother of another president
or presidential candidate at least
were believed better today.
This is the reaction to a state
ment by Newton D. Baker, as he
sailed for a vacation, that the
League of Nations should not be a
political issue in this years presi-
dental fight.
That expression met with ap-
proval among Democrats of var
ious factions, all agreeing the ques-
ton was better laid aside at this
time
Members of both parties regarded
the statement as foreshadowing a
possible dark horse candidacy.
Bakers statement was Signifi-
cant because some of his friends
have felt his concealed belief
in the League of Nations might
hamper his advancement as a COM
promise candidate. Despite con-
stant mention as presidential pos
sibility, Baker on recent occasions
has frankly reiterated faith in the
league.
Lest he be misunderstood, Baker
predicted again that some day the
United States will go into the
league and ought to. But he says
the United States should not enter
until an informed and convinced
majority of the American people
favors it.
Baker said he was not a c9ndi-
date for president. 1t is certain,
however, he would accept if a
nomination were rendered. Many
anti ti-RooSevelt Democrats regard
Wilson'S secretary of war as the
logical compromise.

ANOTHER
WARNING
TO CHINA
Japanese Set Thursday
AS Deadline For Reply
To Demands.
THREATEN ACTION
Foreign Settlements In
Shanghai Preparing
For Expected Attack.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 27. U.P) - A
final ultimatum, giving the Chi
nese until 6 p. IN. Thursday to
comply with the japanese demands
was issued to the Chinese in
Shanghai today.
The ultimatum was delivered to
Wu TehChen, mayor of Greater
Shanghai, by Consul General
Maurai of Japan. 1t demanded a
satisfactory reply from the Chi
nese in the time specified, which
is 5 a. m, Thursday, eastern
Standard Time).
Definite action by the Japanese
was expected when the ultimatum
expires and Shanghai was prepared
for military action, with possible
bombardment and occupation Of
all but the foreign settlements.
Admiral Koihi ShiosaWa, Japa-
nese commander in Chinese waters,
interviewed by the United Press
aboard his flagship, the Ataka,
said:
II have received my final in
structionS. The Chinese may ac-
cept the japanese demands. but in
our experience, the Chinese prom
ises are never carried out. That IS
all"
Mural issued his ultimatum after
representatives of WI Teh-Chen
had called on him but failed to
deliver a reply. The Chinese said
they were prepared to accept al
most all of Japans demands.
Mural, during the long interview,
spoke only once. He said:
Unless all the demands are ac-
cepted and executed, there will be
drastic action"
