HUGE ARMS SUM
VOTED FOR JAPAN
$4,000, 900 Appropriation
Is Largest Peace. Time
Defense Budget. ~
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, February ia budget
bill providing for the largest peace
time defense appropriations in ia
pans history was passed by the
House of Representatives today.
Overwhelming majority approval
was expressed by an uncounted,
standing vote.
The bill then was sent to the House
of Peers, where equally smooth pass
age was expected.
S272,O2O,OOO for Arms.
The budget is for the fiscal year
beginning April /, 1884.
A total appropriation of 938,000,000
yen ($272, ,o2O.0oO) is provided for the
army and navy.
This means that A per cent of the
total of 2,1l2,000,000 yen ($6l2, AGO.
OOO) goes for defense purposes.
To the army the budget allots
45OO00,0O0 yen ($l3O 500, ,000)-the
largest peace time appropriation on
record LOT ldLu lOlCSS
An appropriation of 5000 900 yen
($l41, ,52O000) is provided for the
navy. This is just II millions short
of the navys all-time high of 49,
100000 yen in 1922.
All members of the Seiyukai and
Minseito parties voted in favor of the
budget.
Those members who voiced any
criticism confined it to mildly ex-
pressed hope that the budget would
be balanced at the soonest possible
date and that future armaments COM
petition with other powers would be
avoided.
Adverse votes came from the prole-
tarians and the Kokunindomei, the
latter group because it is unconpro-
misingly opposed to the cabinet OF
Premier Saito-not because Of any
disapproval Of the budgets record
military estimates.
Hayashi, Osumi Lead.
Rubber stamp approval for the
budget and the rest of the legislative
program was predicted when the pro-
gram was agreed upon by the cabi-
net early in December.
The dominant figures in the cabi-
net are the ministers Of war anc
navy, respectively - Gen. Senjurc
Hayashi and Admiral Mineo Osumi.
The former, however. had no part
IN obtaining cabinet approval of the
budget. The battle was fought by his
predecessor, Gen. Sadao Araki, re-
signed.
Despite the admitted strength OF
these ministers. it was only after a
prolonged fight that approval was
given.
AS a matter of fact, the budget
generally is regarded as a triumph
for the 79-year-old minister OF
finance, Korekiyo Takahashi. He
fought valiantly for degree of econ
omy that would at least slacken the
pace at which the national debt has
been mounting the last two years.
Takahashi was partially successful.
The amount finally stipulated fol

Warden McCauley. who has been In

There was no indication In ad-
vance that the break was planned.
We have learned, however, that
the men made their knives in the
plate shop where the license plates
are manufactured. They evidently
buried them in the prison yard, dig
ging them up Sunday, which is yard
day"
The planned prison break, which
ended in mid-afternoon with the
bullet-torn bodies lying about the
prison yard and with turnkeys suffer-
ing from knife wounds inside the cell
blocks, began shortly after the lunch
hour in the office Of F. W. Jackson,
head turnkey.
De Long and Frank Butler, another
long-term prisoner. walked in and
accosted Jackson.
Sorry TO do this" De Long said
as the pair threatened the turnkey
with their homemade knives, but
we're doing too much time"
As other convicts came into the
office they leaped on Jackson and
bound wire about his neck and the
throat of H. M Williams, assistant
turnkey. The convicts took jackson
to a solitary cell but Immediately
brought him back when a telephone
in his ONCE rang.

The warden asked If everything
was all right" the turnkey recounted
Il had to tell him yes Then TO give
him hint, said:
DO you want me to come out on
the lawn or to the front ofice?' OF
course, couldn't do that"
Then, the mad break for freedom
began. with the convicts wiring the
wrists of 8 B. Bowman. chief en-
gineer. and William Truman, chief OF

n. R. A. WILL URGE
REGIONAL CODES
Trades Outside Interstate
Commerce Are Only
Ones Affected.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The N. r. A today decided to aban-
don past policy and encourage the
formation Of regional codes or agree
mentS in the trades which are clearly
outside Of interstate commerce.
Hugh s. johnson issued this state
ment:
1t is recognized that in the devel-
opment of program of industrial self
government. where national industries
must be organized nationally, We may
wisely follow the theories underlying
the organiZat ton of our Federal Union
of self-governing States, utilizing ma
tional organization and national
standards where they are nationally
applicable, and providing in a prac-
tical manner for local control of local
affairs"
The new type of code or agree
ments is proposed to be used for
such trades as laundries. restaurants.
taxicabs and barber shops, but not
for local retail stores
These. because they handle prod
ucts generally manufactured in in
terstate commerce, are to remain
organized on countrywide lines.
The new policy was viewed at N.
r. A. as meeting the increasing en-
forcement difficulties in such trades
as dry cleaning. where it has proved
next to impossible to secure compli-
ance on a Nationwide scale and in
which prosecution of violators is es-
pecially difficult because their busi-
ness is so clearly outside the usual
scope Of interstate commerce.
The announcement said State leg
islation should be encouraged to give
additional sanction to agreements re-
gionally for regional trades and in
dustr!es and to aid in the local ap-
plication and enforcement of the
requirements Of Federal codes"
This was understood to mean that
there would be less effort to enforce
regional codes In Federal courts. The
Blue Eagle insignia will continue to
be available to firms subscribing to
the regional agreements.

him interested In the business, but
the youth he'd a yearning to be a
rancher and cowboy. He spent six
months on a Western range and de-
cided the business world was more
attractive after all.
He was sent by his father to Ger
many, where he took a course in a
brewing school, learning the science
of fermentation and the technique of
beer making. Returning to st. Louis,
he served a three-year apprenticeship
in all ends Of the business, including
shipping and export.
Adolphus Busch, dying in 1918. left
a double portion of his estate to
August, stating in his will that "he
has been of great assistance to me"
Busch succeeded his father as head
of the various corporations the elder
Busch controlled.
Saw Prohibition Coming.
With the legacy, however, came the
grave problem of growing prohibition
sentiment. Busch said he realized
the growth OF prohibition had It's
roots in the manner in which saloons
had been conducted, and believed
there was still time to improve condi-
tions; perhaps even stem the spread
OF anti-saloon sentiment.
He urged Missouri officials to study
the German saloon system, and built
a barleSs saloon here as a model, on
the plan of the German wirtschaft.
It was then too late, and while the
city of st. Louis remained a wet
stronghold, the State Legislature in
1918 readily fell into the procession
OF States ratifying the eighteenth
amendment.
Demanded Enforcement.
In October, 1918, Busch closed his
plant here in compliance with the
War time Food Administration, and
when restrictions were lifted, prohibi-
ton had come. The brewery went
into the manufacture of soft cereal
beverages. which were popular for sew
eral years.
The growth Of illegal liquor manu-
featuring and spread of home brewing
cut the sales of the cereal beverage
until Busch demanded the Govern
ment enforce the liquor laws TO pro-
tect the lawful beverage industry.
Busch then took up new industries
to take the place of outlawed beer,
and established q successful corn
products refinery. He built yeast
industry which outgrew the Midwest
market.
With the return of beer in 1888, the
company spent 100000 rehabilitat-
ing its brewery here, rated as the
largest in the United States, and fol
months the demand overwhelmed the
capacity Of the plant.
The brewer is survived by his widow
formerly Miss Alice Zisemann; two
sons. Adolphus Busch. Sd. and August

brewing company, and three daugh-
tiers, Mrs Drummond Jones. formerly

Postmaster General Farley has

left the political cupboard bare.
Brown had even arranged so that
his own and Mr.. Hoover's names were
chiseled on the corner stones of post
Offices not then built. Farley had the
names chiseled of. The papers
burned in the furnace were Civil

could have used to throw Republicans
out of Office for cause. Their destruc-
ton prevented Farley from firing
possibly 100 Republican postmasters
before their terms expired
Brown also let all the airmail con-
tracts he could, intending to leave
none for Farley. Congress put a stoI
to that by passing law preventing
Brown from doing anything except
extending old airmail lines. There
upon Brown extended every line he
possibly could. Farley set out imme-
diately to cancel those extensions.
