PEIPINC FEARS
OUTBREAK NEAR
Shanghai BIoodShed May Be
Re-EnaCted, Belief of
Chinese Leaders.
BY HERBERT X. ELKINS
United Press Staff COrresnnndent

PEIPING, May 27.-Fears that
the bloody, costly fighting of
Shanghai might be re-enacted here
rose in the minds of foreign military
authorities today when the Jap
aneSe commandant announced that
hereafter day and night patrols OF
Japanese troops would move
through the city.
Such patrols, the commandant
said, were necessary to protect Jap
aneSe subjects because of the Situa-
ton arising from an attack by I'M
identified Chinese several days ago
on japanese sentry.
This situation, the commandant
said, still was serious because the
Chinese had failed to carry out their
promise to demilitarize the city.
General Ho Ying- Ching, Chinese
minister of war. said today that
Feng Yu-Hsiang, the Christian
general, one of the most formidable
figures in China, had re-entered the
political and military scene.
Feng, Ho said, had revolted and
seized Kalgan, ITO miles northwest
of this old northern capital, be-
cause he opposed the efforts to
arrange truce with Japan.
Foreign commandments are ap-
prehensive. Events today, they say,
parallel the situation which precip-
itated the fighting at Shanghai.

The dead patrolmen were
Delbert Thompson, 40, and
Charles Farkas, 81.
A companion of the unidentified
killer was arrested and held for
questioning. He gave his name as
Thomas Santos, and said he was a
gypsy travelling with a carnival
playing on the edge of the city.
After several hours of questioning,
police said that he had given them
no information regarding his COM
panion.
Thompson was patrolling his west
side beat early this morning when
he recognized the license plates on
a stolen car. He Communicated a
passing motoriSt, and caught up
with the first machine.
The driver and a passenger
stepped out. Thompson started to
question them when the driver
started shooting. The policeman
fell mortally wounded, while his
aSSallant ducked down an alley.
The passenger, later identified as
Santos, ran across the street to a
restaurant where he was arrested.
Farkas and Martin were in one Of
the squad cars sent out in search Of
the killer. They saw him about
twenty minutes later, attempting to
thumb" a ride out OF town
AS they stopped to question him,
he opened fire, killing Farkas. Mar
tin returned the fire with shotgun,
killing the man instantly.
Martin was wounded in the arm,
but his condition was not serious.
The car had been stolen from
Toledo In the back seat we're found
nitroglycerine, and fuses, leading to
the theory that the unidentified
assassin was a safe blower.

Livingood, on the ninth lap of his

Increase of l cent in retail price

following merger Friday of two
competing milk pools with member
ships of 1900 producers in the In

The pools were the Central In

Sored by the Indiana farm bureau,
and having about 1400 members,
and the Indianapolis Dairy Pro-

Aiding in the merger were two
arbiters. T. c. Stitts, Washington,

CHICAGO, May 81. -
Wheat prices advanced 318 to
378 in a whirlwind opening
on the Board of Trade today
as a result of the adminiStra-
TONS efforts to remove the
gold standard act from United
States laws.
A riotous, rampant buying mood
swept over La Sale street as public
and professional traders alike
sought to obtain grain.
TIL speculative fever overlooked
the wheat pit and spread into corn
and the other grains.
Routine news was ignored. For

were cast aside.
1t was bull market that carried

Corn rushed up IL to 2ii cents,

market was forecast by the action

Orders poured into the pit before
the opening today with brokerage

Liverpool responded with a 27s to
80 cents rise, partly due to the Z

MORGAN firm
DENIES ACTS TO
RULE POLITICS
Defense Against Charges of
Domination of Economic
System Mapped.
OBEY LAW ON INCOMES
New Sensational Evidence
Will Be Uncovered
Next Week.
BY RAY TUCKER,
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 27. - The
Morgan defense against charges of
attempted domination of American
economic and political systems, con-
troll of vast corporate empire, and
failure to pay income taxes for two
years has been obtained by the
Scripps Howard newspapers in talks
with the firms partners, including
j. P. Morgan himself.
1t will be submitted before the
end of the inquiry, which resumes
next Wednesday with threats of
new sensations.
These sensations will take the
form of three more lists of friends"
in high places allowed to benefit
from stock cut-inS, and revelation
that the two private companies I'M
der presidential investigation for
alleged misuse of government ma
chinery at Muscle Shoals belong to
the far-f1ung Morgan chain.
In their defense, the Morgans will
insist there was no thought of in
fluencing political or governmental
action by loans and stock cut-ins
made to leading figures, including
Treasury Secretary William H.
Woodin, Norman H. Davis, economic
and disarmament ambassador to
Europe; former President Calvin
Coolidge and others of high estate.
Deny Woodin at Fault
1t will point out meticulously that
Mr.. Woodin himself did not know
until this year that he was TO be-
come secretary of the treasury, and
that his selection came after Sen
ator Garter Glass Dem., Va had
declined the post.
1t will be contended that favor
performed four years before can not
be linked with Woodin's present i'm
portance' and influence in the
financial world.
The same contention will be made
with respect to the benefits to Cool
ldge and Davis-namely, that they
were not in office or public life at
the time of the cut-in to the first,
and the loan to the Roosevelt
emiSSary.
Finally, the firm will take the
position that the suspicious of Fer
dinand Pecora, committee counsel,
and many senators have no basis in
fact, no matter how it may appear
on the surface.
Within Law on Incomes
Disclosure that few members of
the firm paid only $4,000 income
taxes in 1880, and nothing in the

turbed the Morgan men.
Their defense is that they simply
