APPEALS FILED
ON BR0CKMAN'S
RECALL BATTLE

Sudden developments in c. w.
Brockmans fight against recall
petition came yesterday afternoon
when Hugh S. Mackinnon APP
peared before Judges A. C. Finney
and Vaughn N. Thompson to give
notice of an appeal from the court
order sustaining a demurrer, and
denying an injunction, and also
moved for a stay of proceedings
during an appeal.
When the motion for a stay OF
proceedings was denied, the attor-
ney also gave notice of an appeal
from this order, so that two APP
peals to the state supreme court
are now pending in this matter.
The appeals, however, viii have
no effect on the Brockman recall
election, it is believed, since a con-
siderable length of time will be re-
quired before the supreme court
can hear the case. Should the
higher court uphold the appeal,
the only result would be TO in
validate the election.
The motion for a stay OF pro-
ceedings, if it had been granted,
would have had practically the
same effect as an injunction, since
the supreme court could not hear
the case before the election Is
held February IL.
Charles L. Childers, chief coun-
sci for the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict, appeared In court to oppose
the motion by Brockman's attor-
ney. The motion was heard and
the appeals filed after s o'clock.

WAR DECLARED
ON IDLE MONEY
BY PRESIDENT
Hoover Urges Stacker
Dollars Be Placed Into
Circulation.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. - War
has been declared on the Stacker
dollar"
President Hoover has called
upon American citizens as a pa
triotic duty to bring S1,300,0 100000
out of boarding and put it to work
in a war against depression
These dollars are hidden under
mattresses, in stockings, cookie
jars and safe deposit boxes. They
are earning no interest for their
owners. They are tieing Up bill
lions of dollars in credit. They arc
keeping men out of work They
nave caused hundreds of otherwise
sound banks to fail because of
runs by frightened hoarders.
President Hoover now summons
American citizens to muster war
time unity and courage and enlist
in a nationwide war to put these
Stacker dollars" to work.
This appeal was made in White
House statement.
Hoover also called on leaaers
of business, agriculture, labor,
churches, schools, service clubs,
patriotic societies and trade asso-
Citations to meet with him Satur-
day to set up a national olganiza-
tion to lead the campaign.
There was a ring in President
Hoover's appeal like that with
which, as food administrator, he
stirred the country to save to win
the war.
He appealed both to patriotism
, and to self-intereSt. 1t is the av-
erage citizens chance, IN the
/, Presidents judgment, to do his
share in supplementing the gi-
gantic efforts of the $2,000000, ,000
reconstruction finance corporation
/ to stir the business blood of the
nation again.
Everyone boarding currency in
jures not only his own prospects
and those of his family, but is act
ing contrary to the common good,
Hoover said. 1T is to their own
interest that they should return il
! to circulation, as well as patriotic
service to the country as a while
President Hoover in his state
! ment said the reconstruction fl
nance corporation had already
shown results in dissipating feaI
and restoration Of public conf
dence, as indicated by a check or
the increased boarding.

JAPANESE RUSH new TROOPS TO STEM
LATEST CHINESE OFFENSIVE AT SHANGHAI
BY III. Il. EKINS

UnIted PreSS StaII correspondent
Copyright 1882 BY United Press
SHANGHAI, Feb. 4. - japanese
marines rushed strong reinforce
ments into the front lines today in
a desperate effort to block furious
Chinese offensive which threatened
to overwhelm them.
The Japanese prepared for a
counter offensive to throw back
Chinese shock troops who had
claimed victories over a wide front.
The Chinese reported they had
trapped two battalions of japanese
marines.
The Chinese held their lines at
North Station, center of a renewed
japanese aerial attack in Chapel.
Their ammunition supplies seemed
near depletion at nightfall. Gun
fire slackened after a day of artil-
lery dueling which shook the city.
Chapel burst into flames in a
dozen new spots. Gable lines were
cut during a bombardment of the
Woosung forts at the mouth of the
Yangtze.
The Japanese reinforcements
held their lines. The move was
taken to indicate they intended to
drive the Chinese back and elm
mate the increasing danger to the
international settlement. Shells
landed in foreign areas all day
The settlement and the French
concessions we're calm. Chinese
bankers feared looting. They feared
the Chinese armies we're near the
end of their resistance, but might
try to rush the settlement.

HOOVER NAMES
MELLON TO BE
LONDON ENVOY
Mills To Take Place In
Cabinet AS Secretary
OF The Treasury.
By EBERT CLARK
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Presi-
dent Hoover has selected Andrew
w. Mellon to be ambassador at
London, and Mellon has accepted
He succeeds Charles G.. Dawes,
who resigned to become president
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, President Hoovers chief
weapon in his campaign against the
depression
Ogeen l.. Mills, undersecretary of
the treasury, will be advanced to
full cabinet rank. Mills for some
time has shouldered much of the
actual burden of the treasury ad-
ministration, and is looked upon by
many here as the moving spirit in
treasury policies.
The selection of Mellon for the
London post removes from the cab
met one of its most picturesque
and mysterious figures, and gives
the Court of st. James such an
American ambassador as it prob
ably never has seen before.
For one thing, Mellon is an old
man-how old, none but his init
mates knows for certainty. His Of
ficial biography in the congress
sional directory says he will be II
in March. Who's who adds three
years to that.
For another, he is one of the
richest men in the United States.
II,,r t,n hi
one of his most outstanding per-
Sonal characteristics since he has
been in Washington-now nearly IL
years. He has assiduously avoided
public contacts as far as possible
He has entertained when necessary,
and has dined out when necessary,
but otherwise has emerged from the
luxurious seclusion of his richly ap-
pointed apartment with its collec-
ton of Rembrandts only to walk to
work and back.
Not Social Lion
How he will fit in the formal So
cial atmosphere on the London dip
lomatic set was a question many in
Washington were asking today.
Some speculated on the possibility
he would be joined by his daugh-
ter, Ailsa, and his son in law, David
K Este Bruce, and that his daugh-
ter would act, as formerly, as his
hostess.
Mellon is divorced. His former
wife remarked some years ago, and

of the case are closely guarded

Washington.-"Now 1t will be seen," says the St Louis Star. "whether Mir Hoover has placated the automobile industry by the ap- pointment of Roy D. Chapin (head of large motor company to suc- ceed Robert F. Lamont as secre- tary of commerce. According to the Star, the automobile industry has two serious grievances against the Hoover administration:
 Tt resents the destruction of the motor export trade by foreign tar- ifs imposed in retaliation for the Hawley- Shoot rates, and it re- sents the crippling effect of the special excise tax on automo- piles and trucks imposed by con- gress at the request of the treas- ury department"
 The only doubt the Star has about the qualifications of the new secretary is raised by the an- nouncement that he Is an optim- ist and 1t reminds him that his pre- decessor was an optimist, of whom there have been too many in Washington in the last three years" The paper sounds warn- ing to the new cabinet member by reprintlng the following choice bits of optimism by Secretary La mont, which in the light of events seem wholly ridiculous:
 January 1, 1930-"One may confidently predict a continu- ance of prosperity and progress"
 January 13, 1930-"Condi- tions are very satisfactory. The outlook Is generally good"
