JAPANESE FARMS IN ARIZONA ARE
 BEING BOMBED
American Farmers Do Not Like So Many Aliens in
 Their State

Phoenix, AriZ., Sept. 20.-UP). Japanese farmers in the Salt River valley appealed to diplomatic agents today for protection against further terrorism at the hands of night riders.
 The valley, scene of bitter quarrel between American farmers and alleged alien invaders" tense- ly awaited action of state and Jap anese officials in the bombing of two Japanese-leased farms.
 The bonn ping was the second act of vandalism against Japanese in a week. J. Tamura, secretary of the Japanese association, requested aid from T. Hori. the Japanese con- sul in Los Angeles.
 In Los Angeles, Hori reported he had transmitted word of the bomb- ing to his embassy in Washington and to Tokyo.
 The first outbreak, renewing the farm war. was last week, sheriff s reports revealed. Men in six auto mobiles drove to the farm of D.. Tadano, covered Tadano with guns and pushed his automobile into an irrigation canal. Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, activities of the night riders were renewed when they threw a bomb into the flood gates of the M. Ishikawa farm. flooding 20 acres of lettuce. An other group bomberd an irrigation ditch on the farm of Fred Okuma, reputed wealthy farmer and a lead CT of the Japanese. It caused little damage.
 Trouble between the aliens and farmers started a month ago when Americans charged that Arizona alien land laws were being violated by an alleged migration of more than 800 Japanese and some 15G Hindus from the imperial valley of California.

 "Trading on the local Wool mar ket," the review said, which had s,been very slight for several months, practically is at standstill.
 Sales of cotton, wooden and .worsted yarns have dwindled to practically nothing. Although the < supply of raw cotton is consider .ably less than normal, the antici- pated rise has been converted into . decline, due to lack of business. "Rayon fabrics are moving slow sly at somewhat higher prices. De- .liveries from the Rayon Mills are .curtailed about 25 per cent, on account of the strike.
 "Volume of orders received by shoe factories during the week fell .off. Large distributors still are ,cutting retail prices and, in order ito meet their requirements for smerchandise at price, manufac- turers, in some instances, have been obliged to reduce quality.
 "Tanneries are operating at moderate rate, and there is good demand for some of the fancy lea ,ther. They are feeling the pres sure for lower prices on all sides sbut, in the meantime, the hide market is somewhat firmer. Calf skins show the largest advances, but sales have been moderate.

 At 2:3O D. m. Endeavour was still holding her lead and was we'll to weather of the defender. Sopwith also had sagged off from the course and did not appear to be pointed for the finish mark. Both were on starboard tacks, but were not ex. pected to fetch the mark without another hitch.

 The short port hitch proved bad tactics. and Endeavour's lead was out appreciably. Vanderbilt's swing had caught puff of vagrant wind and she boiled up on the challen. ger until she was only about q hundred yards behind.
 Rainbow meanwhile was claw. ing through Endeavour's lee and stepping out into unimpeded breeze. At o'clock the Argos instruments showed Endeavour still leading but only by 50 yeards.

SUSPECT IN THE LINDBERGH CASE
(continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) Greenwich street station, lending further support to reports that an Important Break" in the case was imminent.
 The suspect was said to have been brought into headquarters from the Bronx.
 Two automobiles which drew up in front of the police station were from Duchess county New York and were believed to have brought secret service agents here from the summer white house in Hyde Park.
 One unconfirmed report was that the authorities had found $28,00O of the ransom money which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh allowed to be tossed over a cemetery wall in the Bronx ten days after his young son, Charles Augustus, Junior, had been kidnapped from the Lind bergh home in Hopewell, N. J. on March 1, 1882.
 pr. J. F. Condon, the "Jafsie" of the famous case, who took a leading part in the negotiations for the return of the baby, was at his home in the Bronx.
 T have the greatest hope," pr. Condon said, T have thought from the first that break would come. If 1t is true that the break is here, I am very happy.
 "I do not feel that what hap pens today will fully solve the case. have always thought the crime was committed by conbin- ation. But have the greatest hope the case will begin to clear up."
 Condon was staying close to a telephone.

"The Pied Piper" and How
He Disposed of the Rats

In the Middle ages, Hamelin,
Germany, suffered terribly from a
plague of rats and mice. In the
spring of 1884, according to the
story, a man appeared, dressed In
the ~yaricolored costume of a stroll
ing musician, and told the city IA
theirs that he could free the town
from the small pests. A sum of
money was agreed on, recalls a
writer in the New York Herald
Tribune, to be paid If the stranger
could fulfill his promise. He there
upon went through the streets play
ing on his pipe. and the rats and
mice streamed out and followed the
musician In a long procession into
the Weser, where they all drowned,
while the piper swan to shore.
He then demanded his payment.
The city fathers demurred. The Job
had been too easy, they declared,
to justify giving out so much
money. The piper, angered, went
away. He came back on June, 20,
clothed this time as a hunter. 1t
was a Sunday, and all the citizens
we're In church. The piper began
blowing a strange melody, and all
the children In the town from four
to fifteen years old, 1870 In all, ac-
cording to the saga, followed him,
dancing as they went. When they
reached the Koppenberg, q hill not
far from Hamelin, a door opened
and all entered, except two children,
but one was deaf and the other
blind, and they could give no clear
report Of what had happened.
One Of the many interesting
Renaissance houses In the town re-
calls the vengeance of the deceived
piper. This is the "Rattenfaenger-
haus," the ratcatcher's house, a
beautiful specimen of German Rem
nissance. 1t was built In 1908 as
part Of a dowry Of a young noble
woman.
