FACING CRISIS
Japan First to Test Pacts,
Oman Points Out.

When the League of Nations
meets Jan. IS to solve the Man.
churian situation, it will be facing
it's supreme test, DR.. G. Bromley
Oman, president Of De Pauw uni
versity, told the more than capacity
audience in Roberts Park Metho-
dist Episcopal church Sunday night.
"It will be the first time that a
f1rst-rate power, Japan, has violated
the nine-power agreement and the
Kellogg anti-war pact" DR.. Ok
nam declared.
IF the league should fail in
bringing peace, its next step would
be to put trade bans on the Japa-
nese in an effort to halt their resort
to arms"
DR.. Oman traced briefly the his
torical background of the present
Manchurian situation.
He said the Japanese believe that
Manchuria should be under their
control because of Japans invest
ment of $3.50, 100000 in Manchuria
because of Japan's need for a source
of raw materials, and because of. the
belief that Manchuria is first line
of defense" which the japanese
must control in case of war with
Russia.
DR.. Oman returned to Green
castle Christmas, after spending
three months in Japan as a mem
Der of the Rockefeller Foundation
commission, studying educational
conditions.

George, s months. and John, 4, and
the nurse, Mary Roth, %, dead.
The maid had suffocated the chill
dren by turning on gas jets in the
kitchen. To make death double sure,
she hanged the infant from his
crib and the other from nail in a
basement closet. The woman then
hanged herself.
Physicians said the woman was
suffering a deluSion that the chill
dren we're to be taken form her.
She was so fond of the boys that
rather than part with them, she put
her charges to death and took her
own life. There was no reason, the
Heindels said, for the maid to sup
pose she was going to lose her posi-
ton.

Premeditated Shooting of
Mechanic on Lonely
Road Charged.

By United Press
LANSING, Mich, Jan. 4.-Helen
Joy Morgan, heiress to a half mill
lion dollar estate, today was to ap-
pear in circuit court here on trial
for the Staying of Leslie Casteel,
her garage mechanic sweetheart.
The heiress, slight young wom-
an of % years, has admitted she
shot Casteel to death on a lonely
road near Glenwood cemetery April
%, according to police. Defense at
torneyS were to claim the shooting
was in self defense.
Eyes, shot him." police quoted
the heiress as saying when she was
arrested after Casteel's body was
found. ''He threatened me and then
drew a revolver. We struggled and
4 got possession of the gun and
fired"
Prosecutor Ralph NJ. Freeman,
however, has discounted the self
defense claims. He will ask for a
continuation on a charge of first
degree homicide.
Miss Morgan is very small, while
Casteel was big man, weighing
over 200 pounds" the prosecutor
said. "She could not have wrested
the gun away from him as her story
indicates. State witnesses will prove
the gun belonged to her and the
shooting premeditated."
The heiress has been free on
$15,000 cash bond since her arrest.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The
revelry was at its height, the
midnight climax near at hand.
A fraternity house door opened
and an elderly man in evening
dress entered. He was unob-
served for several moments.
Finally, one of the gay young
dancers saw a stranger was in
their midst.
"Ha," he exclaimed; eve
have a guest!"
Advancing upon the new
conner, the college boy delivered
a hearty slap upon the back
and cried:
I'm Milt Dennis; and who
are you?"
I'm Senator Capper." was
the reply.
The Kansas senator, an
alumnus of Kansas State, had
been on the fraternity mailing
list for some time, but it was
the first of its parties he had
attended. He remained for
two hours, apparently enjoyed
himself among the pretty girls
and youthful revelry, and then
departed with the remark:
I'm not quite so young as 1

Republicans Must Choose
Leader With Chance of
Victory, She Says.

DU L NtttU fTtSE
ROCKFORD, Ill, Jan. 4.-MrS.
Ruth Hanna Mccormick declared
President Hoover is not a popular
leader and urged the Republican
party to select presidential nomi-
nee with fair chance of victory,
in a dictated editorial appearing to-
day in the Rockford Register-Re-
public, of which she is publisher.
Mrs. Mccormick, daughter of the
late Mark Hanna, widow of Sena-
tor Medill Mccormick and unsuc-
cessful contestant against J. Ham
ilton Lewis for the senatorial toga
al the last election, inquired why
Hoover should not be discussed
freely and weighed impartislly as
a seeker for public office" and
urged in her editorial that the party
"kick precedent into a cooked hat"
by picking another nominee.
The editorial contrasts the "hun-
dredS of thousands of Republicans
who either will vote against Mr..
Hoover or refrain from voting for
him" with the united and confident
Democrats, and suggests if "a con-
siderable number of Republicans
would prefer to have Mr.. Hoover
step aside as a candidate, the party
leaders should sele.. somebody
else"
Admitting the entrenched posi-
ton of the President, "aS head of
gigantic corporation which has on
its pay roll 100000 men and women,
and supporting 100000 Amer
leans" the editorial states:
1T would be a gratuitouS affront
to the President to imply that he
would, if necessary, marshal this
great force and use it for a political
purpose in which he is concerned
vitality.
"A good beginning for the Repub-
hcan party this new year would be
a resolution to stop saying: In ac-
cordance with a time -honored Gus
tom, we shall, of course, renominate
the President, and to begin to say:
Who is the best man in the United
States for the biggest job Uncle
Sam ever tackled?'"

ROAD Chief TO
FIGHT CUSTER
Two Officials on Job as
Highway Superintendent.

Action to replace Charles w.
Mann, Republican county highway
superintendent, with a newly ap-
pointed Democrat, brought an Or
der today from commissioners that
he defend his right to Office at a
hearing.
This hearing, on charges of "in-
competency, malfeasance and ne
glect of duties" which we're to be
filed against Charles Mann today
will be held before commissioners
Saturday.
Both Charles w. Mann and John
S. Mann, newly appointed Demo-
crat. reported for work as highway
superintendent today.
Charges are being filed against
Charles Mann, despite a statement
from Dow w. Vorhies, Democratic
president of the county commits
sioners, that Mann has made an
enviable record as highway super
intendent."
Charles Mann is fighting the GUST
er because he declares that he was
appointed for a four-year term, only
two of which has been served.
Verl Pierson, commissioner court
bailiff, served notice on Charles
Mann that you hereby are notified
that you have been suspended from
the position of highway Superin-
tendent, pending a hearing of
charges to be filed against you"
George Snider, Republican board
member, did not sign the letter, sent
out by Vohies and Thomas Ellis,
majority board faction.
The board has ordered John S.
Mann to take the Office until the
hearing Saturday.

PARTY LEADERS
WANT CORONER
TO RESIGN JOB
Commissioners Hint They
viii Present Request
for Withdrawal.
SAYS HE WILL NOT QUIT
Judge Suggests Jan. 19 as
Tentative Date OF
Trial.

Coroner Fred W. Vehling today
was ordered to appear in criminal
court Tuesday morning for arraign-
ment on charge Of soliciting a
bribe.
The order was issued by Judge
Frank p Baker to Thomas MCGEE
one of the coroner's attorneys.
Baker also told MCGEE a date for
trial Of the coroner would be set
Tuesday, adding he considered Jan.
10 as the possible date.
However, it was reported today
that MCGEE, Fred Barrett and Eph
1nman, counsel for the coroner,
probably would plead for time. A
motion to quash the indictment is
expected to be filed, and it was un-
derstood a motion for a change Of
venue would be presented.
May Ask Resignation
Removal of the trial to another
county probably will result in a long
delay, it was pointed out.
This afternoon George Snider,
Dow Vorhies land Thomas Ellis,
county commissioners, we're to con-
fer with Charles B. Clarke, county
attorney, relative to taking steps
to demand Vehling's resignation.
Vehling, who has announced he
did not intend to withdraw from Of
flee, has been gathering evidence in
his own behalf over the week end,
it was said. Commissioners indi-
Gated they already had prepared a
withdrawal writ, to- be approved by
Clarke.
Marion county Democratic leaders
said they wished" Vehling would
resign, but did not believe he would
do so voluntarily.
Prosecutor Herbert Wilson and
oscar Hagemeier, deputy, an
nounced additional indictments may
follow the bribe solicitation charge
and impeachment proceedings,
scheduled for airing before Circuit
Judge Harry o. Chamberlin Satur-
day.
Other Witnesses Appear
Wilson and Hagemeier said since
Vehlings arrest Saturday numer-
our voluntary witnesses have ap-
peared at the courthouse. At this
time there is no grand jury in ses-
sion, but Wilson has power to file
affidavitS.
Hagemeier indicated the new
grand jury, to be selected soon, may
be instructed to reopen the Vehl-
ing investigation.
Vehling is charged with demand
ing $3.50 from relatives of Benjamin
Stickel, gas victim in March, and
with threatening to return suicide
instead of accidental death verdict
unless the money was paid.
Return of the suicide verdict
would have blocked collection of
double indemnity on insurance poll
cies held by the gas victim.
Vehling is at liberty under a $10,-
300 bond signed by relatives.
