Victor Perez, 20-year-old Hawai-
ian, was held by police today as
the attempted attacker of Barbara
Burns, 16, daughter of Bishop
Charles Wesley Burns of the Meth
odist Episcopal church.
Perez was arrested within a few
blocks of where the girl was found
badly beaten and hysterical. Po-
lice who charged him with attempt
ed assault claimed he was given
probation two years ago on a SIM

The girl said she was taking
her habitual evening stroll alone

residence district last night when
a man leaped from behind tree

screamed for five minutes before
freeing herself.
Bishop Burns, her father, is one
of the most prominent members of
his church. His territory includes
California, Nevada, Arizona, the
Hawaiian Islands and all Pacific
possessions.

MARION TRIAL
TO BE- RESUMED
MONDAY MORNING
Oitsi. heNsusht syndisa.a. ~

Upper corridors of the county
court house seemed strangely de-
serted today, lacking low voiced
throngs which have crowded the
halls and court room since Mon
day morning but maintaining some
how the air of dramatic tension
accompanying the turbulent trial of
Daniel D. Marion and Mrs. Inez
Marion on an indictment charging
the murder December IL of Alberto
Garcia.
Ready to resume the trial Mon
day morning, neither the judge nor
the attorneys today were quite able
to rid themselves of the nervous
strain attendant upon hearing in
which the lives of two people are
at stake. In the county Jail Mr..
and Mrs. Marion seem among the
most unconcerned at the outcome
of the trial.
With only one more states wit
ness to be called Monday, the
trial probably will swing into its
most important phase as Edgar B.
Hervey and M. w. Conkling, de-
fense attorneys, begin to unfold the
self defense story on which they
base their plea for freedom of
Marion and his wife.
Until the court recessed Thursday
afternoon, the state, represented
by District Attorney Elmer w.
Heald and D. H. Wolford, chief
criminal deputy. was engaged in
building up the framework upon
which the rest of the trial will be
constructed. The greatest burden
now remaining for the state is re-
buttal of self defense evidence in
troduced by the defense.
What form defense evidence will
take was not generally known to-
day, except that defense counsel
will attempt to prove Garcia was
instrumental in forcing the Mar
rons to flee from Mexico, and that
both Marion and his wife believed
Garcia was engaged in a plot to
murder them.
That international complications
may arise with presentation of GER
tain evidence, involving an affidavit
signed by Manuel Suniga before
three Mexican army officers, was
the prospect, if the defense attempt
to introduce the affidavit. Suniga
probably will be called as a witness
by the defense.

LOS ANGELES, March 5. U.P)-
Three asserted Chicago gangsters
today faced long terms in San
Quentin penitentiary after their

crs, on their way to a gambling
barge to obtain the money, en-
gagged in a gun battle with Long
Beach police, in which one of their

wounded
Leonard Wilson, attorney for

fact would not enter into his argu-

forces planned further fighting,
The first act of a new military
council created by the central ex-
ecutive committee of the Chinese
government was to order a puni-
tive expedition against the Man
churlan state. The committee
meeting at Loyang was attended
by government and military
leaders.
According to the opinion of
Chinese leaders here, the expedi-
ton will be headed by Marshal
Chang Hseuh-Liang, ousted as
Manchurian overload by japanese,
and Feng-Yu-Hsiang, the Christ
ian General" who still heads a
powerful military force. Marshal
Chang had a loyal army of 25p0O
men in the Chinchow area befcre
he ordered his men to retire
within the great wall of China at
Shangkiakwan.
The Chinese leaders opened their
meeting with a solemn tribute to
the soldiers killed at Shanghai,
standing for three minutes with
heads bowed.
Chinese mObS manhandled many
locters when they were discovered
by International Settlement police
doing guard duty at the Chapel
boundaries. Seaching a number of
purported refugees, the police
found them wearing silk and fur
coats beneath their ragged gar

Bar Sightseers
japanese patrols endeavored to
bar thousands Of sightseers from
Kiangwan and other war areas.
They had the greatest difficulty
with their own nationals. Many
japanese civilians were arrested
by settlement police on complaint
of army authorities, who charged
that they were stealing rifles, steel
helmets and shells as trophies"
While Chinese claimed that
japanese troops continued to fight

defenses of the International Set

BANKERS NEXT
ON PRESIDENTS
MONEY PROGRAM
Hoover Hopes To SOothe
Frightened Nerves OF
Financial Men.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

OhitCu tCoS
Copyright, 1882, BY United Press
WASHINGTON, March s.
President Hoover is going after the
bankers next.
The bulk of emergency legisla-
ton has been enacted. Treasury
plans for baby bonds" to entice
boarded money from hiding and
are ready for announcement.
Mr.. Hoover believes the govern
ments next big job is to soothe the
nerves of frightened bankers. He
accepts without reservation the
public charge of Senator Glass
Dem) Virginia, that bankers are
the worst hoarders of all.
That accusation is predicated on
the fact that while many banks
were failing in the past two years,
the majority have been liquid in
the fullest sense of the word. They
have called loans and refused to
make new ones in order to accum-
ulate cash reserves against the pos
sibility of runs.
White House secretaries are de-
luged with letters from merchants
throughout the United States COM
planning that bankers are refusing
to extend credit regardless of how
good the collateral may be. Many
of those letters have reached Mr..
Hoovers desk. White House opin-
ion is that bankers are panic
stricken and must be reassured.
Bonds Merely Basis
The administration is not expect
ing that vast numbers of persons
will buy the 2 per cent baby
bonds. They are merely basis up
on which Col. Frank Knox, publish
er of the Chicago Daily News, will
conduct for Mr.. Hoover an anti
boarding campaign. The interest
rate was placed at 2 per cent with
the deliberate purpose of making
savings account in a bank more
attractive than the bonds.
Mr.. Hoover believes the people
are reacting favorably to
these measures, that they are re-
turning their money to the banks.
His purpose now is to persuade
bankers that their fears are ground
less and that they should release
accumulating cash reserves into
the loan channels which create
trade.
Two emergency measures await
congressional action. One would
create a permanent organization
for relief of depositors of closed
banks. The other would create a
system of home loan discount. The
former has an excellent chance to
be enacted.

SHANGHAI WAR
BRINGS READING
BIT OF TROUBLE

Frank Reading, United States
deputy marshal, was wondering to-
day about these official notes" dis
patched from Washington to Japan,
and pondering whether one would
do any good in the predicament in
which he finds himself.
For Reading early Monday morn
ing will be faced with the task of
transporting two Chinese and one
japanese to San Diego for trial by
the superior court on charges of
illegal entry into the United States,
and is expecting international de-
velopments of great Importance, at
least to the trio.
The ratio of Chinese to Japanese,
other officers observed today,
slightly favors the sons of Nippon,
Judging by previous encounters be-
tween the nations.
The Japanese is Takei Sukeharu,
a diminutive being, while the Chi
nese are Wong Noon Yet and 500
Wat Kee, somewhat larger, and
with an intense feeling of national
pride.
This feeling of nationalism be-
tween Japanese and Chinese is SO
marked in the county Jail, Jailer
Eddie Nett said today, the races
have been separated, instead of be-
ing kept in one cell block, as ''be-
fore the war"
The separation was brought about
after Mexicans stored in the immi-
grafton tank" Tor safe keeping,
complained of the constant bicker-
ing between Chinese and japanese,
and expressed a fear open warfare
would break out.

Noted Japanese
Is Assassinated


TOXIC, March 5. U.P)-Baron
Takuma Dan, IA, engineer and
head of the powerful Mitsui inter-
ests, was assassinated today by
Goro Hishinuma, young Japanese
from Ibaraki prefecture.
The murder was believed to have
been in connection with protests
made last December by patriotic
factions when the Mitsui interests
repeatedly made immense profits
dealing in foreign exchange.
Certain japanese elements con-
sidered the dealings unpatriotic be-
cause Japan was off the gold STAN
dard and the value of the yen was
unstable.
Baron Dan was shot as he was
leaving his automobile in front of
his office. He died within a few
hours.
