Luther Daugherty early today cap
tured Harry Flemming, colored, for
whom hundreds of men and boys
had searched woods and swamps since
early last night.
Flemming, wanted for seriously
wounding Policeman Harry Daugherty
with a chisel, was in the hands of a
guard of State police and being

aided when he found Flemming at

the spot where the crowd believed
they had him surrounded in a swamp.

more than 500 people, had been look
ing for the man since about 9 o'clock
last night. 1t had dwindled to around
hundred early today when the town
fire siren summoned more men to
the hunt. 1t was at that time that
the empty swamp, several miles from
here, was surrounded.
Struck by Blunt Instrument.
The colored man was alleged to
have attacked Policeman Daugherty,
distant kinsman Of the sheriff. when
the officer went to arrest him last
night. At first it was thought he had
been shot in the temple and officers
probed for bullet Later it was de-
cided that the attack had been made
with some sharp instrument that cut
through the skull.
Sheriff Daugherty said his informa-
tion was that the man had used q
chisel.
At the hospital today it was said
the officer had only q slight chance
to live.
During the night Sheriff Daugherty
deputized about so men" to aid in
the search for the man, he said. The
sheriff said he did not think the rest
OF the crowd did much searching dur
ing the night.
They were Just up waiting around"
he said.
Mayor William H. Bradshaw esti-
mated the crowd at 400 early in the
night, later 1t was increased by groups
from Princess Anne, Pocomoke City
and various sections of the county.
Sheriff Daugherty said he was de-
termined not to have another lynch
ing" 1t was at Princess Anne, In this
county and only about Is miles away,
that a colored man was lynched last
October.
State Police Lend Aid.
Some II or Is State policemen came
to aid Sheriff Daugherty early this
morning. Capt. Edward NICK. john
son, commander of the State police,
assigned them the principal duty Of
getting Flemming out Of the county,
Immediately after he was arrested. A
State car, brought here for the pur-
pose, was used to carry him away
It was well out of the county before
more than a few people knew Flem-
ming had been found.
Policeman Daugherty was found
lying in pool of blood in Flem-
mings home here about $3.50 o'clock
last night. He had gone to arrest the
man whom colored woman had
charged with threatening her with a

pressed regret today that some

HULL COMPLETES STUDY.
May Issue Statement Today on U. S.
Attitude.

Attiluue.
BY the Associated Press
Secretary of State Hull has CON-
pleted a study of Japan's statement
Of policy toward China and NAV issre
statement this afternoon explain
ing the United States attitude.
No definite decision had been
reached, however, as to whether an
official statement would be made.
In view of Japan's conciliatory at
titude and assurances that she would
maintain the open door" policy in
China. it may be decided to make no
official comment.
It was assumed by some observers
that, In view of the similar objectives,
Hull's statement would be along the
same general lines as Sir John ST.
mons explanation to the British
House of Commons There was no
authoritative indication, however, Of
the manner in which Hull intended
to outline official American reaction
to the revised Hirota statement.
Great Britain, through its Ambas-
sador to Toxic, asked the japanese
foreign Office for an explanation Of the
original statement. The United States,
through Joseph c. Grew. the Ameri-
can Ambassador. merely requested
that the State Department be given
an authentic official translation of the
document. The difference in diplo-
matte procedure was considered as
likely to have considerable bearing
on the manner in which Hull's state
ment would be made and what tone
might be adopted.
In official circles, It was predicted
Hulrs ststement-if he did make one
would officially bring the incident
to an end.

N. r. A. Faces Crucial
Test in Dispute
Over Oil.
BY PAUL MALLON.

IF LOOKS could kill, there would
be about five dead in the back
stage scuffle among the new
1 dealers over the oil code.
The trouble started when the
oil code enforcement crowd, the
Petroleum Advisory Board, decided to
go after several independent producers
in Texas for violating the code.
The case ,Das thrown out by
Terds fudge Uho tntimdted the
N. r. A. Uas somewhat unconsti-
tutional. The P. A. B. decided
the Judge ioas iprong and appealed
to the Supreme Court, Which has
looked kindly on the ne,D deal
so far.
Trouble Immediately developed, not
from the defendants, but from other
new dealers who thought 1t would be
a good idea for the Government to
drop the case and try to forget
about It,

Stimson said in an address last night
before the Intercollegiate Council of
International Education some such
legislation should be promptly passed

fronts U.s."
"I am not impressed" said Stimson.
with the objection that it would give
undue or dictatorial powers to our
Executive. 1t does not seem to me
that such objections are well founded" "
Republican leaders in Congress dis
agree pointedly with Stimsop. They
have expressed fear Of an inrush Of
cheaply produced foreign articles.
Democratic chiefs, however, predict
passage Of the bill in the form they
desire. Thus far there have been in
dications they might possibly accept
one major change-to grant affected
industries hearing before some Gov.
ernment agency before tariffs are re-
duced on their products.
Provides Concessions.
The idea behind the legislation Is
to cut the duty on products which
could be brought into the United
States in quantity without damage
to American industry, with foreign
countries making similar concessions
for the purpose Of receiving larger
amounts of American commodities.
Thus the administration hopes to
find foreign markets for the output
of the Nations industries by build
ing UP the purchasing power Of other
nations through the process OF In
creasing their shipments to the United
States.
The opposition to the bill falls into
several categories:
The old guard, high-tarif bloc, Is
apprehensive that the measure may
prove an opening wedge for general
reduction of tariff rates, permitting
huge imports Of cheaply- produced for
eign products, to the detriment Of
American industry and labor.
Another and overlapping group Is
opposed to the extension OF so vast an
authority to the President. They con-
tend an unwise use of the power in
volved could have the result OF de-
stroying or paralyzing whole in
dustries.
Still another coterie considers the
bill an outright violation Of the Con-
stitution in that through 1t Congress
would delegate to the executive branch
Of the Government q duty expressly
reserved to the national Legislature
by the Nations fundamental law.

Basic Principle Involved.

The matter has been kept extremely
confidential, while, for the last few
days, half dozen new dealers have
been running around holding con-
ferences to decide what should be
done. In those conferences, they
threw everything at each other except
the ink wells.
Every one admits the basic constitu-
tional principle of the new deal is in
volved, but Donald Richberg of the
N. r. A. and the Justice Department
experts doubted the wisdom Of meet
ing the issue now. The Justice De-
partment apparently did not like the
case on legal grounds and Richberg
did not like it on an. grounds
Outside one of the conferences. q
little bird at the keyhole thought he
heard Richberg say: "If we lose this
case the N. r. A. has nothing to stand
on: If we win it, then we will have
to go after all code violators and put
them in Jail"
Maybe Bird Was Wrong.
The little bird could not believe his
ears. N. r. A. officials have said many
funny things, but none ever said he
doubted the wisdom Of going after
code violators-not in public, at any
rate. The bird must have been wrong,
or else Mr.. Richberg was.
The case is set for hearing by
the Supreme Court May z. Jus
ttce Department legdlists haze
hinted they might insist the court
iodsh it Of the docket.
There is just a possibility that the
Supreme Court may take judicial
notice of the hot potato and decide
on its own initiative to thresh the
matter out.
Two Likely to Resign.
There will be at least two resigna-
tions in Interior Secretary Ickes'
hands unless the Government goes
through with the case.
The P. A. B. crowd, including Soil
citor Margold of the Interior Depart
ment, will consider it disheartening to
continue trying to inforce an oil code
If the Department Of Justice lets them
down.
Richberg Is supposed to hare
taken the matter to Mr.. Roosevelt
personally, but the President de-
ctded to let the Justice Depart
ment handle all such Udrn spuds.
The D. of J. and Richberg both in
sist privately that the Interior De-
partment is wrong and it really is a
bad case. Only the Supreme Court
can decide who was right about it.
During all this, the Texas de-
PENDANTS have not been considered

The "et ais" are Roy Taylor, John M

Japanese Government VIII Not Pub

TOXIC, April 80 CP.-The jap

officially at least, concerning the note
in which the United States and Great
Britain were reassured concerning
Japan's intentions in China.
A foreign Office attache told the
Associated Press the government at
present has no intention of publish
ing the note, explaining it Is un-
necessary since Sir John Simon Is
making it public in London today.
Observers were quick to point out,
however, that by not releasing the
statement to the japanese press and
public, the government would thereby
escape the domestic and political con-
sequences Of what might be inter-
preted as a partial retraction Of the
foreign office China policy declara-
ton Of April II.
Note Presented April 26.
The note being made public before
Parliament by the British foreign
secretary was presented April IS to
United States Ambassador Joseph c.
Grew and the British Ambassador,
Sir Francis Lindley.
This statement, by Foreign Minister
Hoki Hirota, was phrased in more
conciliatory terms than that of April
II. It was described as the only
Official" Interpretation of the earlier
declaration of the "hands-off China"
policy by a foreign office spokesman.
Hirota's statement gave assurances
that Japan has no intention Of op-
posing the open-door policy in China
or violating existing treaties or inter-
fering with any activities Of other
powers which would rebound to
China's benefit.
UNIFORMED Of Alterations.
So far as the Japanese people
know today, the governments posi-
ton and that declared April II, based
on instructions dispatched by the for
eign Office to Akira Ariyoshi, Japanese
Minister to China, remains unaltered.
Moreover, there is strong evidence
that Japan's tone to China on this
issue differed from the placatory tone
used in conversations with Ambassa-
dor Grew and Sir Francis.
It is understood that Hirota, talk
ing to the Chinese Ambassador,
Chang Tso-Pin, on April 26. and
Ariyoshi in interviews with Chinese
leaders In Shanghai recently, vigor-
ously presented Japan's position along
the lines Of the "hands-oh China"
