MILWAUKEE, Wis, January IA
Officials of the City Of Milwaukee, with
their house in order, roof tight and
money in the bank, have become school
masters to the Nation. ..
IT all started when Associated Press
dispatches recently revealed that with
debts paid this municipality started the

Incredulous city officials and better

was accomplished, and were still more
amazed to learn that s4,000,000 sur

story of almost ruthless efficiency in

FALSE ALARMS GIVE FIRE MEN
 EVENING RUNS
Smoke and Sparks Cause Calls for Depart
 ment's Equipment

Two false alarms last evening called the Juneau Fire Department equipment, and some of the volun- teer members.
 The first alarm, at 7:3O o'clock, was turned in by Samuel Feldon of the Cliff Apartments, Fifth and Calhoun Streets. Smoke from the chimney of house on street be- low the Apartments was carried under them by the wind, and ten ants reported to MT. Feldon that there was blaze in the basement of the apartments.
 The second alarm, which was re- ceived by the apartment at 9:30, resulted from apprehensions of persons living near Second and Gold Streets over sparks from the chimney of a small dwelling, soot in the chimney having become ig- nited. The sparks had entirely subsided before the arrival of the fire departments equipment.

In Washington Society

Washington society was stirred
today by news of the arrest in
honolulu of Mrs. Granville For
teScue, who was a social leader
here and whose family has been
one of the most prominent in the
National Capital for many years.
She was the former Oracle
Bell, daughter of the late Charles
J. Bell, president of the Ameri-
can Security and Trust Co., and
cousin of Alexander Graham Bell,
inventor of the telephone. The
two Bells married sisters, daugh-
ters of the late Gardner Hubbard,
distinguished scientist.
Mrs. MaSsie, her daughter, who
was assaulted in Honolulu, is
the former Thalia ForteScue, one
of the most fascinating Of Wash
ington and New York debutantes.
Her marriage to Lieutenant Mas
sic in Washington in 1927 was a
brilliant social event. The For
tescue family resides at Bayside,
Long Island.
Granville Fortescue is noted
as a war correspondent and ex-
plorer. He was a member of
Roosevelt's Rough Riders and was
a personal aide to President
Roosevelt. In the World War
he attained the rank Of major
and was wounded.

Orders for the Pacific fleet to
boycott Honolulu and the Island
of Oahu, on which it is located,
because of the unrest there, were
dispatched today by Admiral Will
liam v. Pratt, chief of operations,
to the commander-in-chief of the
Pacific fleet.
The boycott resulted from the
situation existing between naval
personnel and lawless elements
in Honolulu, following assaults
upon white women by natives and
half-castes.
American men will not stand
for the violation of their women
and bloodshed might result if the

PROBE
Honolulu Like Armed Camp as
Police Check Murder That
Involves D. C. Woman

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 9
(I.N.S.). - While grim faced
militia patrolled the streets of
Honolulu, police gathered to-
gether blood-stained evidence
today from an exclusive resi-
dence in the Manoa district in
an effort to reconstruct the
killing of a native accused Of
attacking a white woman.
Indications have been found
that Joseph Kahahawai staged Q
terrific battle before he met death,
presumably in atonement for an
assault in company with four
other natives, on Mrs. Thomas II.
Massie, former Washington So
ciety girl.
The authorities were emphatic
in their denial that Kahahawai
had been tortured or mutilated be-
fore his death, although there
were indications that a possible
attempt had been made to do so.
Climaxed Outrages
Three persons have been
charged with his murder. They
are Mrs. GRANVILLE Fortescue, pron1i-
nent in Washington and New
York society; her Son-in-law, Lieut..
Thomas H. Massie, United States
Navy; and E. J. Lord, an enlisted
man of the Navy.
The kidnapping and killing Of
Kahahawai, coming as a climax
to a series of attacks on white
women, has resulted in the con.
version of the tropical city into
an armed camp as the authorities
Strove to stem the rising tide Of
racial prejudice.
Mrs. Fortescue, Lieut.. T. Mas
sic, and Lord we're captured after
a lengthy pursuit of their auto
mobile, during which several shots
were fired. Mrs. Fortescue was
driving the car. Inside the ma
chine was found the body Of
Kahahawai, his heart pierced by
a bullet. The body had been
stripped of clothes and wrapped
in a sheet.
Scene of the Killing
A preponderance of evidence
pointed to the Fortescue home
in the elegant Manoa residential
district as the scene of the killing.
That Kahahawai was submerged
in a bath tub and killed by a shot
from a revolver held under water
to deaden its sound was held
likely.
The bathroom at the Fortescue
house was found in widest dis
order. The floors were wet, a
damp mop was lying in one cor
ner of the room, and a mans
shirt, torn and blood-Stainued,
had been trampled underfoot. A
tattered Woman's wrapper gave
testimony to the struggle.
Sheets such as were used to
wrap up Kahahawi's body were
missing from a nearby bedroom.

Great Britain today announced
her refusal to participate with
the United States in invocation
of the Nine.Power Pact with ref
erence to Japan's occupation of
Manchuria.

the foreign office declared Japan
had furnished satisfactory guar
antees that the "open door"

maintained.

British foreign office today an
nounced officially it would not
join the United States in invok-
ing the nine-power treaty against
Japan for her Manchurian policy.
Great Britain, as a member of
the League of Nations, is in a
position somewhat different than
that of the United States, it was
pointed out unofficially, since
Japan already has assured the
League she will observe all her
treaties regarding Manchuria.
To press the matter from here,
it was said, would serve no more
than to antagoniZe the situation.
1t was felt that joining the
United States in her protest
would not help the matter any.
The decision was announced in

Joined by Hitler

LONDON, Jan. 9 IN.S.).
Germany has finished with
payment of reparations.
She has decided she can not
pay now and will not pay in
the future and has flatly ad-
vised her creditors of the de-
ciSion.
Germany told the world powers
payment of reparations woul d
mean her economic collapse. If
relieved from the burden of repa-
rations, she pointed out, she will
be able to pay her private debts.
An official communique from
the British foreign office today
made public the German govern
ment's decision, which was for
mally communicated to the Brit
ish ambassador in Berlin by Chan
cellor Heinrich Bruening.
The German course of action
was decided upon after a series of
conferences between Chancellor
Bruening and various political
leaders, including Adolf Hitler,
chieftain of the National So
cialistS.
Opinion was divided as to
whether Germany's announce
ment would wreck the conference
completely, or, on the other hand,
give some definite basis for work
ing out permanent solution of the
financial problem.

many's reputation of reparations
raises the distinct possibility that

world of their refusal to pay war
debts. Sir Josiah Stamp, noted
British economist, stated today.

cellor Heinrich Bruening's SenSa-
tional reputation of reparations
