Efforts To Save
Woman Failure

SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK,
Calf, Aug. 5.-A desperate attempt
to carry Miss Jane Spaulding of
Los Angeles, 80 miles over mountain
trails to medical attention had
ended in failure today.
Miss Spaulding, resident secretary
of the University Women's club Of
Southern California and a member
of the Sierra club, was stricken
with heart attack while hiking
with the latter club several weeks
ago.
She was taken to a mountain
camp owned by Ralph Merritt and
remained there for three weeks
while park physicians made trips
to her bedside by horseback. Then
it was decided to move her 10
Giant Forest, where she could be
given better attention.
Park rangers, headed by Ranger
Pat Jamison of Lodge Pole, began
the long trek, carrying her on q
stretcher. They could make but a
few miles a day because Miss
Spaulding had to be spared any
jolting. 4J
She died at Rowell Meadow.

War Minister Says ManChuria
Is Nippon's Affair Only;
Truce Talk Still Snagged

TOKYO, March 26 (LN.S).
Gen. Sadao Araki, japanese
minister of war, declared to-
day that Japan would resign
from the League of Nations
and deny its authority in
Manchuria if the league COM
mission investigating the Sino-
japanese dispute continued
to "evince ignorance" of Far
Eastern affairs and made any
efforts to interfere in the Far
East.
The war minister, however, rec
commended that Japan wait until
the commissions report is drafted,
although he said his country was
determined to carry out its own
policy in Manchuria despite out
side intervention.
Araki said the present Man
churian program was to be the
final need for force in that state
and that the disputes concerning
it would be settled this time for
all time.

CHANGCHUN, March 26 GN.S)
Prediction that the new indie,
pendent state of Manchuria may
some day be amalgamated with
China proper was made today by
Henry Pu-Yi. new ruler of the
domain.
1t was the first interview Pu-Yi
had granted to any correspondent
since his Inauguration as Emperor
President-a title which he re-
vealed is distasteful to him.
Pu-Yi, the last of the Manchu
emperors of China. who was de-
posed with creation of the Chinese
republic and lived in retirement
until Japan jerked him out of
obscurity to rule Manchuria, said:
1--WE have no intention for
the present of restoring an
empire. We just want to help
the people. Therefore, we are
leaving the future to be decided
by the will of the people.
'Manchuria has become a
separate country, but it is not
impossible that Manchuria and
china may come together at
some future time to be one ma
ton again."
