FAMOUS AUTO
ENGINEER DIES
Henry Leland Founder of
Cadillac, Lincoln Firms.
By United Press

By United Press
DETROIT, March 26-Henry NJ.
Leland, SO, founder of the Cadillac
and Lincoln motor car companies,
died in Grace hospital here today.
He had been i'll for month.
Leland founded the Lincoln auto
mobile company after the control of
Cadillac passed to other hands and
later sold his interest to Henry
Ford.
He had been inactive in the mo-
tor industry for ten years prior to
his death.
Creator of two of Americas most
luxurious automobiles, Leland was
comparatively little known, choosing
to remain in background screened
by his activities.
In 1902 he founded the Cadillac
Motor Company and that same year
produced the first cara one-cyl-
inder auto. In 1908 the company
passed into the hands of General
Motors, but Leland remained as
general manager.
Spurred by patriotism at the out
break of the war in 1917, he re-
signed his connection with Cadillac
to take charge of building the
famous Liberty motor.

Friday afternoon. 1t was about this

1t is believed widely that the
turnover in November will furnish
the vets with sufficient support to
pass a bill for 2.75 per cent beer by
weight. which virtually is per
cent beverage.

The campaign will be carried on
simultaneously in the senate. Chair
man John j. Blaine of the judi
ciary committees subcommittee an
nounced that he will hold hearings
on all repeal and revision meas
ures, starting April IA.
With twenty-five senators having
signed the Tydings petition for a
favorable report on these proposals,
it is believed the committee will
give the senate a chance for a
showdown. This course is favored
by Chairman George w. Norris OF
tthe full committee.
Senate vets are discussing novel
form of strategy to win reinforce
ment for their bills.
If congress is forced to stay In
session until after the June ma
tionaI conventions, as appears likely
now, it is proposed to postpone
vote on a resubmission resolution
until that time.
Beer Is Popular Cry
Then, if both major parties In
sert resubmission planks in their
platforms, it will be more difficult
for drys on both sides of the aisle
to vote in the negative.
In both house and senate the
vets will plead the financial emer-
gency as g reason for turning to
beer as a revenue-raising product.

JAPANESE MAY
DESERT LEAGUE
Withdrawal Threatened If
Pressure Is Invoked.
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
ITnited Press staff Corresnondent

TOXIC, March 26.-Japan de-
cided today to withdraw from the
League of Nations if the league at
tempted to exert undue pressure for
the settlement of the Shanghai and
Manchurian situations, a govern
ment spokesman said.
An official announcement here
said that Sir Eric Drummond, sec
retary- general of the league, had
informed Japanese Delegate Mao
take Sato at Geneva that the league
was prepared to apply Section 4 of
Article Is of the covenant to the
dispute between China and Japan
in Manchuria.
Japan has contended throughout
the Manchurian trouble that set
tlement must be made by direct ne
gotiationS with China. In the event
the league acts according to Sir
Eric'S announcement, q spokesman
said, Japan will withdraw.
1t was understood that Japanese
Ambassador Nagaoka at Paris who
will represent Japan at the next
meeting of the league council, had
been informed of the governments
decision.
Section 4 of Article IS provides
that if dispute submitted to the
council is not settled, the council,
either unanimously or by majority
vote, shall make and publish a re-
port containing a statement of the
facts of the dispute and the recon-
mendations deemed just and proper
in regard thereto"
japanese militarists have OBJ
jected strongly to the presence in
China of the League of Nations in
vestigating commission, which they
claim is mot sufficiently familiar
with oriental questions to pass judg-
ment on the dispute with China.

Another theory was that Murphy

The Two. Thirds Rule Issue.

II is reported from Chicago that the
decision Of a group of Roosevelt sup
porters for the presidential nomination
to demand abrogation CT the two-thirds
rule in order to permit the naming of
a candidate by majority vote of the
delegates was made without the knovl-
edge of Gov. Roosevelt himself. No
word has yet come that he has re-
pudiated this movement Yet his views
on the subject are not unknown. The
following quotation from a statement
made by him in 1924, on the eve Of the
Democratic convention held in New
York. when he was managing the GAM
paign Of Alfred E. Smith for the nomi-
nation, has been brought forth TO indi-
cate how he then viewed the matter CT
changing the rule for the sake Of i'm
mediate victory:
Leaving out the question of Smith,
McAdoo or any other candidate, l
doubt If any rules of the convention
should be changed after the delegates
are elected. But If, after the conven-
ton has met, 1t should appear that the
old rules are working a hardship on the
party. that might be a reason for
change next year.
In that statement lies the crux of
the question which now seems to be
scutely at issue at Chicago. The del
egates to the Chicago convention have
been chosen upon the basis of the long
standing and presumptively continuing
rule of the party that two-thirds are
required to nominate, that rule having
been adopted by the party at its first
national convention. in 1882, just a
century ago, and continued without a
break since then. AS they line up at
Chicago it is found that they do not
present q two-thirds strength for the
selection of Roosevelt on the first ballot.
The movement to change the rule to
affect the proceedings Of this conven-
lion is thereupon begun. It is i'm
mediately denounced by the opposition
to the Roosevelt nomination as unfair
tactics. Leader Curry of Tammany,
who controls large bloc Of New York
