is said to have added fuel to the
fire now Smoldering under the
police chief.
Burke is known to have many
influential Republican friends and
GlaSSford'S action against him is
said to have sent them scurry-
ing to the Capitol and the White
House to renew their demands
for the discharge of the police
superintendent.
Submits His Report
General GlaSsford submitted to
the commissioners shortly after
noon today his tWo-page document
covering his action with regards to
Burke'S retirement and giving rea-
sons for his demand that the vet
eran chief of detectives be retired
or relieved of his assignment as as
siStent superintendent in charge of
the detective bureau.
Shortly before he received Glass
ford's communication, CommiS-
Sioner Crosby reiterated his state
ment that GlaSSford would have
to submit a strong argument in
order to persuade the Commission
ers that Burke should be retired
before they would take any
action.
He also said Burke would be
given an opportunity at a hear
ing before the Commissioners to
answer any allegations that Glass
ford may make and give his rea-
sons in support of his objection TO
retirement.
Seen in Two Parts
The document which Glassford
submitted is in two parts, one OF
which is a discussion of Glass
ford's demand for Burke's re-
tirement and the other lists al
legged instances when Glassford
contends Burke was inefficient or
failed to cooperate with him. 1t
contains no recommendation for
disciplinary action by the Com
missionerS but is merely mem
orandum for the Commissioners.
GlaSsford may ask for Burke'S
retirement later this week in the
event that the police board of
surgeons and the retiring board
do not recommend that he be re-
tired because of poor health.

mented in favor of the defense.
He said that on one occasion
Weintraub told him:
when this is over, they will
make us all members of the
Loyal Order of Moose"
Weintraub testified that he had
said nothing to influence any
other member of the jury.
Judge Coleman exonerated Vein
traub completely. He said:
"The prepOnderance of evi-
dence shows that the charge
against Weintraub is utterly
unfOunded.
"He is completely innocent
and exOnerated of any charge
of misconduct as juror"
Reprimands Moore
The judge then reprimanded
Moore for his action. He said:
"NO matter what the motive
behind your visit to defense
counsel was, you have worked a
hardship on everyone connected
with the case and wasted two
weeks of the work of the court.
II will make a decision on
your case tomorrow morning. I
will parole you in your own GUS
tOdy until then"
The court again commended
Margiotti for reporting the Incl,
dent.
Both sides expressed disap-
pointment at the need for going
over the technical financial testi.

Should Be Blamed for the
Present Economic Upset

ALBANY, n. v, Oct. 3
I.N.S. ).-UnitcdsStatcs Sena-
tor Robert +. Wagner, in his
keynote speech as temporary
chairman of the Democratic
State convention today, as
sailed President Hoover Ad-
ministration of the National
Government and predicted
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt s
election as President in one of
the greatest Democratic land
slides in the nation s history.
The Democratic party and its
candidates, said Wagner, brings
to the American people pledge
of "a new deal, the hope of a
new life" He declared:
"The past few years have
been years Of disillusiOnment.
The American people will never
again accept as gold the brass
that was sold to them in 1928.
They have learned to identify
the medicine man in the miracle
worker. They have learned to
distinguish propaganda from
truth"
ITO Recover America"
Senator Wagner said the Dem
ocratic party is united behind its
leaders Ito recover America for
the American people"
He praised Governor Roosevelt
as a leader Ito whom government
is not a mechanical process but
a system Of cooperation to fur.
ther the advancement Of hu-
manity."
In assailing the Republican
party for its stand on prohibi-
ton, Wagner said:
"TO compare the Republican
prohibition plank with the one
adopted by the Democratic
party is to compare a master
piece OF SuDCeffuge with q forth
right declaration"
Blame to Hoover
Wagner listed three chief rea-
sons for laying the blame for the
economic crash Squarely on Presi-
dent Hoover's doorstep:
"The first was the encOur-
agement of American expan-
sion of production for the for
eign market.
THE second was the encOur-
agement of America lending
abroad to the tune of more than
S1O,OOO,OOO, 900 to enable foreign
countries to pay for American
products with American money.
"The third was the adoption
of the tariff policy which so
Stifled trade that it prevented
those foreign countries from
paying the loans they had con-
tracted."

which condemned Japanese ag
gression against China, bore out
revelations by International News
Service seven weeks ago that it
would contain a stern indict
ment of the japanese Man
churian campaign.
Although the document drew
praise from European statesmen,
its attitude merely has stiffened
the determination of Japan not
to permit the suggestions of the
commission to be adopted in
Manchuria.
Willing to Negotiate
A Japanese spokesman re-
vealed. however, that his coun-
try was willing to use as a basis
for further negotiations the ref
erenceS to Manchuria contained
in Chapter K of the Commits.
sior's findings, providing for an
international advisory council to
discuss constitution of "a spe-
cial regime for administration"
of Manchuria.
The commissions suggestion
that all military forces be with
drawn from Manchuria and the
country policed by a gendarmerie
to be organized with collabora-
ton of foreign instructors will
be rejected, the official said.
The spokesman confirmed re-
ports from Tokyo to the effect
that Japan welcomes the first
three chapters of the report,
which set forth the political up-
heaVals, social disorders, and dis
ruptiVe tendencies" prevalent in
China.
Conclusions Opposed
But every conclusion drawn by
the commission, including recon-
mendation of Manchurian auton.
omy, will be opposed by Japan
with all the force at its COM
mand.
The necessity for international
action to create a stable Chinese
government, the spokesman in.
sisted, automatically invalidates
all the findings of the commits
sion.
He made it clear that Japan
has no intention, under any cir.
cumStanceS. of removing her
troops from Manchuria.
Meanwhile, observers agreed
that publication of the report
threw the whole problem into the
lap of the League of Nations and
made it incumbent upon that
body to take some decisive action.

.LYTTON REPORT
EYED BY j. 8.

State Department officials to-
day began study of the recon-
mendations for a new deal in
Manchuria contained in the re-
port of the Lytton commission to
the League of Nations Council.
This new deal involves the re-
turn of the three Manchurian
provinces, now incorporated in
the Japanese puppet state OF
Manchukuo. to Chinese SOW
ereignty; the establishment of an
autonomous government there;
withdrawal of both japanese and
Chinese troops, including the
japanese railway guards; and
the establishment and mainten-
ance of a strong gendarmerie.
It also calls for the negotiation
of treaty of non-aggreSsion be-
tween Japan and China, in which
it is suggested that Soviet Russia
might join, and the conclusion
of commercial treaty between
Japan and China which would
put an end to the Chinese boy
colt against Japan.
The commissions report, while
insisting that any settlement of
the Sino-Japanese dispute must
conform to the letter and spirit
of the League of Nations cove
nant, the Kellogg Pact and the
Nine-Power treaty, contains rec
concentrations for such an en-
tirely new set-up in the Far East
that State Department officials
desired to make a thorough study
of the whole report before offer

RESEARCH BY
UNIVERSITY is
SAVING MONEY

Another example of the value OF
University of California research
work to the commonwealth served
by it was revealed in statement
made today by Dean G. B. Hutch
ison. of the College of Agriculture,
describing the monetary worth OF
some of the work of the division
of entomology and parasitology TO
the farmers and fruit growers OF
the state.
investigation of methods for
the treatment of poultry infested
with intestinal roundworns has re-
suited in the development OF pre-
yentiye. combining Fuller's earth
and nicotine. 1t is impossible TO
estimate the value Of this treat
ment. but some idea of its worth
can be obtained from the fact that
one manufacturer alone, in one
wear, sold s1,5OO,ooo worth of the
product.
california honeys used to be
condemned in Germany because
they were said to be 'overheated.'
Investigation proved that the basis
of their low distase content was
lack of pollen, characteristic OF
orange and alfalfa honeys. Cali
fornia honeys shipped into Bremen,
Germany, were 'docked' three cents
in price, resulting in an annual loss
to California of $4,000. This loss
has now been ended. The investi-
cation cost approximately 5000.
"In 1903, when control opera
tions were begun in California
against the aria-bearing mos
uuitoes, the State Board Of Health
estimated that malaria was cost
ing the state more than S2,800,000
annually. The malaria incidence
of the state, largely through the
application Of scientific methods OF

FRENCH WINE
MAKERS WAIT

PARIS, Nov. II. U.D - French
wine-growers are preparing to make
Americans "champagne-conscious." "
Confidently expecting the repeal
of prohibition, producers of cham
pagne have available one million
francs to encourage Americans and
others to drink the aristocrat Of
wines.
This champagne war fund" has
been given by the French ministry
of agriculture to the champagne de-
fense committee. 1t will be used
not only for educational purposes
but also TO check the sales of fake
champagnes.
French wine growers expect an
early return to the sales Of the
prohibition era when Ameri-
cans drank more than one-ninth
of the bubble water exported They
are convinced that prohibition will
end in less than 18 months. Opti-
mism is widespread throughout the
vineyard districts.
Growers Cheerful
CheerfulneSS exists despite the
drawback that this years wine pro-
duction falls considerably below
the countrys needs. OF the $780,
600 hectolitres normally required,
the crop this year will lack at least
l 100000 hectolitres. Nevertheless
the short crop will jump the price
of millions of gallons of wines now
in storage.
Champagne growers have parti-
cular cause for rejoicing in the for
NAL announcement by the ministry
of agriculture that 1882 has been
a good champagne year. Although
the quantity of this wine will be
relatively small, its marked excel
lence will tend to bolster the mar
ket level.
According to NJ. Henriot, one OF
the largest champagne winners IN
the Rheims district, what good
wine is bottled by the big firms
this year will be of very high quail
ity but small in quantity"
Ways and means Of expending the
million franc champagne fund to
explain the good yintages of cham
payne wines to the new generation
of American and other supposedly
,ntutored imbibers are to DE dis
cussed this month at a meeting OF

CONTROL OF WEEDS AIDED BY
NEW CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS

kill under ordinary conditions such
plants as morning glory, johnson
grass, hoary grass, Bermuda grass
ana camel's thorn, should be cheap
easy, and safe to apply, but the
chemical itself and its usage must
be thoroughly understood. Princi-
pal chemicals in this group are
CELEBRATES and arsenicals.
"Other herbicides are carbon BIZ
sulphide, which is applied to the
soil and directly absorbed by the
roots, expensive TO purchase, and
whose usage is confined to small
areas; sodium arsenite, which acts
as a soil fertilizer, destroying seed
ings and shoots arising from lIn-
derground structures; and oils, for
destroying weed seeds without ster-
ilizing the soil, as in the case of
the control of the puncture vine"
Spraying perennial weeds, accord
ing to the University OF California
botanist, has proven to be tick
lish business. The farmer, he adj
ViSes, should beware of extravagant
claims of proprietary and patent
herbicides. keep in mind" he
concludes, that although chem
icals are finding a place in our weed
control program, they have their
limitations. Care must be eXer-
cised in their use. often, they are
more unsatisfactory and less prac-
ticable than cultural and cropping
methods. There Is no substitute
for good farming practices.
