HARRISON, Mich, January 10.-A
Glare County jury convicted Mrs.
Elizabeth Rowland last night OF con-
spiracy to murder her two small
daughters, drowned by their STEP
father in a small lake near Pontiac,
Mich, last September.
Circuit Judge Ray Hart sentenced
Mrs. Rowland to serve three and one
half to five years in the Detroit House
of Correction over her protest that she
was innocent of the charge and that
"the plans were made after my chill
dren left home"
The stepfather. Ferrin Rowland,
was captured in st. Louis, Mo-, and
confessed he drowned the children
after taking them to Flint, Mich,
ostensibly to place them in home.
He hanged himself in the Pontiac jail
before he could be brought to trial.
The bodies of the children-vir-
ginia, 8, and Katherine. 6-were re-
covered from the lake where the STEP
father said he tipped them from a
boat after tying plowshare about
their necks.

BY Radio to The Star.
KALGAN, Chahar, Inner Mongolia
January 10.-Japan is moving with
relentless determination to extend her
sway westward through Inner Mon
golia.
with the aid of 1000 so-called Man
chukuan soldiers, mixed with smaller
body of Mongols and aided by 100 or
200 Japanese troops, she has taken
control of the oft-mentioned strategic
belt of six counties across Chahar from
Jehol to Suiyuan.
This belt. over which Japan Is set
ting up Mongol police, constitutes a
broad wedge between the Chinese
controlled southern section of Chahar
Province and the Mongols to the
north.
Now, according to reports pouring
into Kalgan and Peiping, Japan is
preparing to continue this drive into
Suiyuan Province on the west. She
is known to have designs also on Ming
hsia, west of Suiyuan. If she gets
them all, she will have isolated all of
Inner Mongolia from China and ac-
complished a much larger domination
Of Inner Mongolia than exists today
Strategy Seen in Advance.
This japanese advance is inter
preted by experts both here and at
Peiping as primarily of strategic value
for the future, perhaps early, perhaps
more distant, rather than having a
great intrinsic value in the Immediate
gains.
Chahar, for instance, despite WOO
and coal of doubtful value and some
iron and salt, is not large economic
prize. Trade here is small. But tht

process of formation gives Toxic:

PREPAREDNESS

Wedding bells will ring in the
spring for Leon Lewis, entertainer
and drummer and Elsie (Red Per-
kins' niece) Cary. They were
childhood sweethearts. Both have
had unsuccessful marital adven-
lures. Another angle to the
Nicollet Hotel discharge was the
visit to the hotel tap room of two
married Twin City women. They
were refused service but were re-
ported to have told the manage
ment's representative that one of
the walters invited them to come
down. The boys were said to
have been called together and some
of the gang peached on the fellow
who committed the objectionable
sin of inviting bronze-skins to par
take of the Nicollet's hospitality.

FORUM HEARS
LENGYEL.

At the Forum last Sunday a
very satisfactory number came to
hear the lecture by DR.. Emil Leng-
vel who discussed "The Main
Causes of European Unrest" The
doctor left in the minds of his
audience a very clear picture of
the affairs on the continent and in
answering the numerous questions
put to him after the talk made the
situation and its possible remedy
even more clear.
The musical part of the program
was given by Miss Anne Pearl
Horris who sang a solo number.
The Swanee quartette scheduled
to appear in several numbers, dis
appointed again. The journalist
was unable to give his expected
review, much to the regret of the
audience who were expecting to
hear his usually thrilling account
of world happenings.
W. M. Smith pinch hitted for the
critic who was in Chicago at the
time of the last Forum. Earl
Shamwell, president, was in the
chair. The nominating committee
will be appointed at the next meet
ing of the body, the president said.
