JULIAN WRO TE
LIFE STORY

SHANGHAI, March 26 G.N.SO.
An unfinished manuscript de-
scribing his life's adventures was
found today among the effects
Of c. c. Julian. ex-millionaire oil
magnate of Oklahoma and Cali.
fornia, who ended his life by TAX
ing poison in a Shanghai hotel.
The unfinished biography de-
tailed Juilan'S financial rise in
the United States and his flight
to Shanghai last year after de-
faulting $4,000 bail in Okla
homa and thereby evading indict-
mentS charging fraud in his oil
companies.
The law passed by the Ameri-
can Congress last week to facili-
tate extradition of Samuel insult,
indicted Chicago utilities mag
nate, from Europe was blamed by
Julian'S friends as indirectly re-
SponSible for his suicide yester-
day. Julian was pictured as be-
ing discouraged at the effect the
law might have on him.
Julian had been pennilesS for
several months and had run up
large bills at hotels.
Miss Leonora Levy, Julian's con-
fidential secretary, who was
found in Julian'S hotel suffering
from a dose of similar poison a
short time after he was taken to
the hospital, will recover, doctors

LEGION LEADER
HA|LSF|GHT ON
LEAGUE COURT
Nevadan Cites Consistent
Stand by Veterans Against
Foreign EntangIementS

Strong opposition to entGngling
foreign alliances and to entrance
of the United States into the
League of Nations and World
Court came today from George w.
Malone, State engineer of NeUGdG
and former national Oice COM
n1Gnder OF the American Legion.
He is also q member OF the NG-
tionGl Defense Committee.
BY GEORGE w. MALONE
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.
The American Legion is firmly
opposed to any entangling foreign
alliances. This was evidenced by
the strong resolution adopted by
the Portland National Convention
which was restated at the Chicago
convention last year and reaf-
firmed by the National Executive
Committee in November.
The resolution stated that the
Legion is unalterably opposed to
the adherence Of the United
States to the socalled World Court
Of the League of Nations on any
terms and also unalterably op-
posed to the United States joining
the League of Nations in any form
both being entangling alliances
of the worst sort.
ParIeyS Futile
A review Of our experiences in
international conferences relative
to world peace and monetary mat
tiers will show that almost with
out exception they have proved to
be disastrous to the United States.
This was shown in the last dis
armament conference which re-
suited in our destroying some of
our ships and of holding our naval
and air corps strength below
proper limits, and the London
economic conference which agree
ment has so far resulted in defeat
ing proper silver legislation at this
session of Congress.
If the foreign powers can con-
tinue to be successful in control
ling our national defense through
the trained diplomats and our
monetary system through the in
ternational bankers, we will con-
tinue to be drawn into other ma
tons controversies, sacrificing
our manpower through lack Of
proper preparation and continue
to be subject to severe depreSsionS
through currency manipulation by
international bankers.
Oppose VOiding Debts
The Legion is also firmly op-
posed to cancellation of the for
eig1 war debts. The people Of the
United States bought bonds which
are still hanging over their heads
to furnish the foreign nations the
money so vitality necessary to their
very existence at that time.
Therefore, if they refuse to pay,
there may be nothing we can do
about it, but we certainly do not
approve of the policy of solemn
cancellation and then of loaning
them further money.
There is a growing sentiment
throughout the nation that Con-
gress should determine a proper
Army, Navy ar Air corps of
equipment and trained personnel
that ill furnish adequate pro-
lection under any condition.

FARM CONTRO
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Centralized control of all farm
adjustments by one agency was
recommended by Chester C. Davis,
agricultural administrator, in a
report filed with Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace today.
Detailing the various adjust
ment programs now in effect gov
erning virtually every basic farm
commodity, Davis stated:
Gas the AdminiStratiOn'S
programs have progressed, inn
pOrtant advantages would re-
suit if only one contract were
drawn covering all cOmmOdi-
ties, and administered by one
production control association.
Under such a plan it would
be possible to center attention
on adjustments in the light Of
their effect upon the whole
business of farming instead Of
upon one enterprise"

Protests of Business Men Bring
Disclaimer of U. S. Intent
to Control Industry
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
BY International News Service

Disclaiming any intention OF
controlling the affairs Of great
corporations through the stock
market bill, administration Of
ficials today were considering
amendments designed to meet pro
tests of industrial leaders.
BY far the greater volume Of
protests against the revised Ray
burn bill reaching members OF
committees handling the measure
are from business heads.
Fear U. S. Control
Industrialists fear that the Fed
eral trade commission, through
its power to order reports from
corporations and investigate their
financial affairs as a part OF the
registration of securities, would
virtually control business.
Commissioner James M. Lands
Of the Federal Trade Commission,
one of the group responsible Tor
the present measure, has agreed
to consider amendments to re-
move this fear.
While the commission insists
that annual reports of corpora
tions be audited by certified
accountants, with exceptions for
unusual conditions, it also de-
mands the right to inquire into
the financial statements.
Approval Seen
While protests by stock ex-
change interests were being
given consideration, a canvass
of the Senate Banking and
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittees indicated the bill will be
approved.
With the House committee
studying the bill after closing
lengthy hearings, the Senate
Banking Committee awaite d
amendments to be presented by
President Richard Whitney OF
the New York exchange.
A majority of members OF
Senate and House committees in
dicated a determination to write

WAGNER BILL
BY International News Service


Asserting that labor had been
accorded fair treatment, James A.
Emery, general counsel of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacture
ers, today declared that enactment
OF the Wagner permanent labor
board bill would "excite irritation
resentment and bitterness in EN-
ployment relations"
Mr.. Emery said:
"This bill will stimulate
complaint, promote the inter.
ruptiOn of employment, and
deliberately undertakes to force
employees into one form of
labor OrganizatiOn-the union.
''It will secure to the union
monOpOlistic control, assure it
the unrestricted use of the
strike, and thus confer the
power to assess the public with
the cost of sustaining a labor
monopoly, maintained with
Federal aid, relieved of ap-
prOpriate legal control, and
without corresponding response

Lieut. Thomas Magher of Bridgeport Fire Department
 Rescues Woman Overcome By Smoke

A former waferburian. Lleuten- ant Thomas Magner of the Bridge port fire department, made the headlines in the Park City papers yesterday as a result of his rescue of a woman overcome by smoke. "Tommie" Is well known to mem- bers of the local fire department and to residents of the Brooklyn district in which section of Water bury he was born. Under the cap tion, "Magner Saves Woman in Fire" the Bridgeport Post carried the following report of tho fire:
 Running from his own home as a fire alarm sounded, intending to capture a false alarm "bug" who has sent calls from boxes in the neighborhod recently, Fire Lieut. Thomas Magner was in time to res- cue woman neighbor. Mrs Robert Robbins, overcome by smoke in her home at I'll Remington street late last night.
 The woman's husband carried their daughter, Lucille, 6, and led their son, Douglas, 13, from the burning building to safety as As- sistant Chief Hayden and several pieces of apparatus arrived. Mrs Robbins was attended by an ambu- lance surgeon and remained at home.
 Damage estimated at several hundred dollars was done by the fire, which was started by some paper being ignited through con- tact with a can of hot ashes. The Robbins family was asleep in the rear of their store at that address when smoke filled the building and attracted the attention of passer-

Two companies of fire apparatus were sent to IT Hillside avenue at $40 o'clock this morning to ex- tinguish fire, which originated in a pile of rubbish and caused con- siderable smoke to fill the house. No serious damage resulted. Henry Johnson is the owner.
 A still alarm at 1:41 o'clock this called three companies of apparatus to the home of Thomas Nalband at Fairview street. A short circuit in the wiring of floor lamp is believed to have been re. sponsible for the blaze. A couch, lace curtains and shades on three windows, were ruined. The dam age would have been greater had not MT Nalband attacked the blaze and partly extinguished it with sev- eral pails of water. The blazing couch was pulled by firemen onto the second story veranda and ex- tinguished.
 After the house had been emp tied of smoke, members of the Nall band family returned to complete their nights sleep.

 Troop organization has increased 15 per cent, it will be reported by that committee. There were, 879 scouts registered. as compared with the 763 total of the previous 12 months. One troop was dropped during the year, while two addi- tional groups were added Tho city now has 31 troops. An important point to be emphasized will be the establishment of district commit tees in outlying communities.
 The camp committee report will undoubtedly reveal a successful season. There were more scouts at camp last year than in previous periods, a total of 294 boys being registered for a week or more at Camp Sepunkum or at Camp Morris Buck. The figure represents 38 per cent of the total scout reg istration. Camp expenditures were kept below the estimates set in the budget, leaving d small balance.
 Reviewing board figures wUl show that 134 boys were advanced into first class, while 92 promotions into second class were recorded. In the leadership training course there were 46 scouters enrolled. Of local scoutmasters, 89 per cent were given certificates for complet- ing training courses, while 50 per cent of the assistant scoutmasters completed their training.

Reports of various committees at the annual meeting of the Water bury council, Boy Scouts of Amer ica, at tho Green Lantern Grill. West Main street, at 6.30 tonight, will show great progress made during 1883.

 The officers arc Martin l.. Mur- tus, president; Mark l.. Sperry, Jr, Louis J. Walsh and Henry Weis- man, vice presidents; Arthur D.. Marston, executive and secretary; Samuel P. Williams, treasurer; Ernest w. Bossell commissioner.
 One of the outstanding facts to be reported by the committee on finance will be that the local coun- cil stayed within its budget for the year, even having small balance remaining from the appropriation of $8,164.66.
 An attendance of more than 60 members of the council is expected at the annual meeting. After the business session the group will hear an address by James G. Ham, mond, member of the state fish and game commission. MT Hammond's 5 subject is "The Conservation of Woods, Waters. Forests and Boys.'
