The composer of that liltingly gay
song. "The Sidewalks of New
York." is not going to pass his last
years singing Brother, Can You
Spare a Dime?" if Alfred E. Smith
can help 1t.
The Happy Warrior, whose
friends made the song his battle
hymn during election campaigns,
went to the mat today for it's COM
poser, James w. Blake, 70, who is
penniless along with his 74-year-
old sister, Mary F. Blake, and a
blind brother, John D. Blake.
After reading in newspapers Of
Blake's plight, former Governor
Smith at once began communicat-
ing with unemployment relief and
welfare officials.
He said it was his earnest
wish" that Blake and his brother
and sister be placed at once in
suitable" quarters.
w. A. Matthews, director Of the
Emergency Work Bureau, assured
Smith every effort would be made
to get the aged composer a job
that would guarantee him and his
family from want.

TOKYO, Jan. 16 1NS0
Japan viii refuse to accept the
formula drawn UP by Secretary
Gen.. Sir Eric Drummond Of the
League Of Nations for settling the
Eino-Japanese Manchurian dispute
unless 1t is subjected to marked
reservations and changes, Inter
Hiaticnal News Service learned
today.
Reliable sources disclosed that
Foreign Minister Uchida viii
make this clear when he addresses
the Japanese cabinet tomorrow.
sAt tomorrow's cabinet meeting,
lUchida viii submit the reasons
for Japan's rejection Of the pro
posed solution. He will state in
6articular that SOME Of the
mhrases in the plan must be
Changed before the formula be-
AcomeS acceptable to Tokyo.
Yen Charges Denied
: Official circles believe that al
Rhough Sir Eric has stated the
Hormula is q 'final'' Offer. and
that unless Japan accepts 1t the
Neague can do little toward solu-
aion Of the dispute, he will be
willing in the end to revise the
Slan.
The Official feeling was exposed
when the formula was printed
here and e spokesman revealed
that certain passages were not in
keeping with the Lytton report on
Manchuria.
A foreign office spokesman de-
nied charges brought by DR.. w. w.
Yen, Chinese delegate at Geneva,
that Sir Eric and the Japanese
delegation held secret converse
tions prior to drafting the new
4ormula.
He declared q subcommittee of
the. Committee Of Nineteen had
icompleted the draft and chat both
secret and open conferences on it
were not necessary.
'Outsiders'' Opposed
ScurCnermOTes IL was pO1nCeQ OUT,
Sir Eric would have been acting
On his own initiative and not &C.
6ording to the instructions of the
subcommittee had DR.. Yen's
charges been correct.
The invitation, in the formula
for noEmemberS Of the League to
JOIN the Committee Of 10 in con-
ciliating the controversy, has
thrown q hitch into japanese
hopes that the small power mem
berS would not insist on "outSid-
I.ers' taking part in the delibera-
lsafons.
The spokesman commented:
This invitation should be re-
moved from the formula.
Whether it is . vital question
j for the Committee Of 10, it is
vital from our point Of view
that IL be removed"
This referred. obviously to the
United States among others.

with q favorable report on the

Senator Norris (R.) of Nebras-

The delay was occasioned by
4 desire for some Senators for
further light on an investigation

AS originally drawn, even soft

Decides on Cruise
An inveterate sightseer himself.
Mr.. Coolidge decided one day it
would be interesting to the mem
bers Of his party to make a tour
of Boston Harbor, he acting as
guide. The yacht Mayflower,
which was anchored at Marble
head, was ordered to get steam
up, everyone was notified and the
cruise got under way in rather
fast time.
One Of the first points visited
was Fort Andrews. an aged island
fortification originally designed
to command the entrance to the
harbor. In 1925, only a skeleton
garrison maintained the post.
The commandant Of Fort An
drews had had very Scant notice
he was to receive such distin-
guiShed visitor and was hardly
prepared for the occasion. Some
how, he had mustered a band Of
about five pieces that essayed to
play "Hail to the Chief" as MIR.
Coolidge landed, and o couple Of
squads Of soldiers with q. color
guard stood at attention.
A fat top sergeant was en-
trusted with the duty Of guiding

Now. if Japan were a republic like the

He never finished. He was promptly

Ozaki was saved, but he was heart

For years Ozaki fought on. his home

He consistently attacked Japan's mill
