Hendersonville'S second annual

ing of the merchants division of
the Chamber of Commerce decid-
ed last night at the city hall.
Plans adopted at the meeting
assure a digger and better jubi-

f. B. Harris was named to inter-
view others not present and Sc
cure their initial pledges for pur-

Perhaps the principal change
from last years prize awards will
be the distribution of cash only at

instead of cash at the weekly
event and an automobile at the
close Of the campaign.
Owners and managers as well as
employees of participating firms
will be eligible to receive awards

with soc purchases. All tickets
must be bought at the Chamber Of
Commerce office, the minimum
quantity being $3.50. No change
was made in the sale price of the

The executive committee was
given authority to fix budget for
the campaign, order tickets, and
have charge of all preliminary ar
rangements.
Plans will be finally approved
at another general meeting to be
held some time before the open

JAP WARSHIPS
READY TO ENFORCE
TOKYO'S DEMANDS

Copyright, 1886, United Press)
SHANGHAI, Sept. %. (UP).-
The Japanese foreign office is pre-
senting four demands to China,
including a proposal that the FIVE
provinces of North China be made
into a buffer state, as result of
the assassination of a number of
Japanese nationals at various
points in Cathay, it was reported
unofficially today.
The demands were described as
similar in gravity to the notori-
Gus 21 demands of 1915" in which
Japan attempted to establish her
unqueStioned dominance in Chi
neSe affairs.
Japanese warships were off
Hankow ready to reinforce the
stand of the Tokyo government,
which demands immediate salts
faction because of the murder of
a Japanese consular policemen,
Teiiiro Yoshioka, allegedly by
armed Chinese. The warships will
land large contingents of blue
Jackets during today and tomor-
row. The men will remain in
Hankow-known as "the Chicago
of China" and one of the most
important commercial cities in the
nation-as "long as needed"
In the face of japanese threats
Chinese were making desperate
efforts to reach an amicable So
luton of all the disputes. The
Chinese municipal authorities in
Hankow ordered a houseto-house
search throughout the city for all
suspicious characters. Those ar
rested will be questioned in con-
nection with efforts to find the
murderer. Chinese said the action
was taken voluntarily "as an evil
dence of our desire to cooperate
with the Japanese despite their
earlier rejection of an offer of the
mayor of Hankow to assist in find
ing the men who killed Yoshioka."
The Chinese bitterly complained
because of cremation of Yoshi-
oka's body, asserting it should
have been reserved for an inquest.
They said they have a witness who
will swear that Yoshioka was muir
dered in territory under control of
the Japanese and not in Chinese

Ethiopian Representation AT Geneva
Splits League Into Two Factions

to make an issue Of the Ethiop-
ian question in order to show
Great Britain and France that
they do not intend to be cowed.
They do not want to "bribe"
Italy to return to the League by
sacrificing a weak member who
under other circumstances might
be any one of themselves.
This cleavage in the League
was apparent as the assembly
went into its third day with the
credentials committee giving the
parent body the task of deciding
whether Ethiopia may sit in the
League pending the world courts
decision as to whether the former
empire of Halle Selassie still is a
sovereign state. 80
The United Press has obtained
the text of a lengthy memoran-

ton submitted to an executive
session of the credentials commit

MADRID PREPARING
FOR ITS DEFENSE

LISBON, Sept. 20. (UP).-Cli-
max of the 10-weeks-old Spanish
civil war appeared near today as
the Madrid government mobilized
it's entire strength in an effort to
halt a rebel horde rapidly APP
preaching the capital.
The leftist government called
on "every able-bodied man" to go
to the front as troops Of the rebel
commander-in-chief, Gen. Francis
co Franco, defeated loyalist forces
at Torrijos, 16 miles from Toledo,
and some 35 miles from Madrid.
Capture of Torrijos indicated
that Franco was attempting to 60
to the relief of rebels besieged in
the Toledo Alcazar and then press
on to Madrid.
Both loyalists and rebels map
ped out strategic plans for the
next few days. In Madrid the cab
met conferred for five hours and
the six generals in charge Of rebel
operations met at Salamanca.
The Madrid cabinet repeatedly
discussde q defense of the capital
and at the same time issued its
proclamation for every available
recruit to 60 to the front. The
rebel generals were understood to
have discussed plans for the pro-
posed capture of Toledo and the
operations to be undertaken for
the conquest Of Madrid.
From Seville General Gonzalo
Queipo de Llano radiocast Tues
day night that an "army victory
was a matter of only few days"
and addressing government lead
ers he said, "Then you will receive
proper punishment"
Two separate radio reports that
President Luis Companys Of Cata-
lonia was assassinated were inter-
copied. Rebel stations at Tetuan
and Seville said Companys had
been killed at Barcelona while at
tempting to escape from Spain.
Meanwhile, General Jose Miaja,
commander of loyalist forces in
the Levant region, was en- route
to Madrid, repeatedly to take over
command of a new peoples
army" which the government Gre
ated in it's proclamation for
troops. .
In Madrid an organization Of
police and militia was formed to
begin laying defenses Of the cap
lital. All outskirts were being for
titled and trenches were dug about
the city.

that he should remain close to

The Madrid government fought
with its back to the wall today,
it's existence gravely endangered
by the relentless drive of both the
trained revolutionary troops and

At the rebel capital, Burgos. it

1t is obvious that the leftist de-

slowly.
Rebels today were twelve miles
from Toledo and the governments

plan to push eastward from To-

tons, including those of church

SAVE FARMS OF.
FAMILY-TYPE.
Calls on Farmers to Reject
Attempt for Permanent
Washington Control
l1-POINT PROGRAM is
OUTLINED In DETAIL

STATE FAIR GROUNDS. DES
MONIES, Ia, Sept. %. (UP)-
Governor Alf M. Landon pledged
the Republican party last night to
a comprehensive program to pre-
serve "the American tradition" Of
family-type farms owned by 1.-THE
man who works the land"
The Republican presidential
nominee called upon perhaps 25,-
600 persons gathered on the ia
nous Iowa state fair grounds to
reject efforts toward permanent
control from Washington" by an
administration which "in my Opin-
ion" has no farm policy.
And in his bid for the vast mid
western farm vote-a ballot that
may be decisive factor in the
1885 election-the Kansas gov
ernor laid emphasis on the neces-
sity for distress relieffi for a cash
benefit payment system that
would give the farmer "the equiv
alent of a really effective tariff"
for ederal aid in purchase or re-
inancing of arm homes, or "real
soil conservation program with
cash payments to needy farmers
and for study of crop insurance.
The Kansas governor struck in
the fighting mood" that he in
jected into the battle against the
New Deal on his trip to Maine
and this farm belt capital roared
a tumultuouS welcome from the
minute he drove through its
crowded business district to the
climax Of the speech.
From almost the first sentence
of his speech, the applause was
rippling and finally a ringing
voice from the front rows cried:
"You tell 'em, Alfw with such en-
thusiaSm that the speaker stopped
to chuckle and the crowd roared
with him.
Then to the farmers whose
votes may be decisive in this cleo
ton, he asserted that world con-
ditions had STACKED the card"
against them and that the Roose-
welt New Deal had not helped
them. He now proposed: .
Ito offset by cash benefit
payments, limited to the produc-
ton level of the family-type farm,
the disadvantage of the farmer
producing crops of which there
normally is an exportable surplus
to be sold on world markets at the
mercy of subsidized foreign COM
petition.
He said he would provide the
equivalent of a really effective
tariff" giving the farmers IAN
American and not a foreign price"
or such staples as hogs, wheat,
cotton and tobacco.
