 Chapman was apprehended at Muncie, Ind, as he walked along the street. He tried to shoot his way free, but was overpowered and taken to his hotel room, where authorities found a quart of nitro.glycerine and 5000 in government bonds bonds, jewels and currency.
 The job of carrying out the exe- cutions brought the first demand for an electric chair and . profess sional paid executioner.
 There was no opposition in the legislature and the bill was reported favorably after one public hearing.
 Incidentally, the state will not have to pay for the execution of the first person to die in the chair. Its contract with the company inc Stalling the apparatus provided that the concern employ the executioner for the first electrocution.
 If 1t goes off smoothly, then the state will pay for the chair. This arrangement has been called c bit of Yankee bargaining.

 Young officers of Q regiment of the first division garrisoned in To- kyo led the revolt.
 Against Liberals
 Their motive was Q direct action protest against the liberal trend of last Thursdays parliamentary elec- ton, and an effort to impose on the country the ancient ideal that the army, under the direct and bet1ev- olent rule of the emperor, Is the real power.
 Apparently no high officers were involved.
 The coup caused the suspension of the stock and commodity exchanges but business generally proceeded normally and banks conducted their u0u6A VBGk k0vA0kAgs
 Finance Minister Takahashi was regarded as the main target of the assassins because of his stout resist- ance to demands of the army and navy for larger appropriations. He enraged nationaliSts in Q recent budget speech when he said that no- body was going to attack Japan at present and that what the country really needed was to better the lot of It's own people.
 Forty Years In Office
 A venerable and respected liberal leader, Takahashi had spent % oi his ei years in ofiice. He was both criticized and loved for his jovial heavy drinking way of life, which drove him almost into peonago ir San Francisco after he spent all oi his money nt the beginning of Q four year stay in the United States from 1866 to 1870. It was not till the turn of tho century that he began to stride ahead after becoming Q bank clerk.
 Premier, Okada, . retired admiral was called into the prime ministry to take charge of the national" gov- ernment organized July 8, 1884. He too. was hated by extremists for his liberalism.
 Admiral saito was long marked for assassination because he, too would not subscribe to the army tradition. His elevation to the post of keeper of the privy seal, which made him Q close adviser of Em- peror Hirohito, made 1t necessary from the nationalist standpoint, for him to die.

From the early days of the colony until 1eD4, executions were carried olit at county jails.
 When Connecticut became the A3rd state to approve electrocution, the chair was ordered and prepara- Hons made for It's installation.
 Technical Point Argued
 Attorneys for Siemborski, how. over. raised the question Of whether lie should be hanged, electrocuted, 0r 90 free. They argued he was sen- tenced to hang after the legislature passed the eiectrocutlon law; that aentence could not be passed twice for the same crime, and that he should Do liberated.
 The chance of his escaping pun- zbhment, however, appears remote. But until the court delivers it's opinion, the chair will remain un- crated.
 Ccnnecticut's system of hanging had been considered for many years as humane and "fool.proof."
 Led into the small, tai1-colored death chamber, the condemned per- son literally was placed lon the spot" An K" marked on the floor Indicated the proper place for the pFisoner to stand while the moose Wab adjusted around his neck. Victim Jerked Upward
 Differing from methods of other states, the condemned person was not dropped first, but jerked up. ward. This unique hanging ma. chine was designed to break the victims neck twice. It operated by use of weights and pulleys. The rope passed through Q partition, where it was connected with 0 300. pound weight. A rachet wheel held tho weight in place. The operat. Ing mechanism was c pedal.
 Instead of springing the trap on the ordinary gallows, the pedal re. 7eased the weight and the condemned person was jerked upward, then dropped. This operation was de. signed to result in the neck being broken twice.
 Connecticut's hanging machine always worked smoothly. There is no record of any execution being bungled.
 The task of carrying out the ex- ecution fell to the warden, or an assistant.
 Gerald Chapman, notorious bank Fobber and gtinman, ended his trail blamng career in the Connecticut death house.

 regim ein the north China provinces on which she can depend for ct least friendly neutrality in event of c Russo. o.Japanese war. They do mol believe, however, tha tthe methods the army has followed in China are the right ones to achieve the best results. /
 The Japanese in the street never has been convinced that sheer might will win China. He wants Q really friendly China, not conquered sub- servient neidghbor. Hence he near- ly always has been silently critical of the army's adventures on the Asiatic mainland.
 Patience, Friendship
 1t was this belief of the Japanese voter, expressed at the ballot box which led to the development of thu so-called "shidehara policy" of "pa' tience and friendship for China which was the keystone of Japanese foreign policy towards the Asiatit mainland in the decade before tho Japanese army, in defiance of the parliamentary government, seized ManchuriM
 The policy was evolved by Baron K. Shidehara, one-tim earabassadoi fin Washington and long Japanese foreign minister.
 shidehare believed that the only really sound way to bring about Sino- Japanese cooperation was through the development of Q genuine friend ship based on mutual respect and program despite bitter opposition trust. He fought steadily for that from the army. It was his success in winning the mass of the Japanese people to his program which brought about the Manchurian incident.
 Japan's army leaders believed shidehara was All wrong. They be. lieved that the Chinese never will yield to anything but force"
 Finally, using the disorders Of the Chinese revolution and the refusa, of the Chinese regime in Manchuris to live up to agreements with Japan as an excuse, the army moved alone
 6hidehara was forced from ofiicg and marked for assassination.
 A series of national" governmentl was formed but none was strong enough to risk moro than mild efforts to enforce it's will on the army. Sc the army moved along. With Man. chtikuo Q going concern 1t supported north China autonomy irovrr'crt "a grandoise scheme designed N bring about the separation of ;nt five northern provinces of China from the rule of the Nanking gov. ernment. This plan almost succeeded 6 few months ago. That Q compro. mise finally was reached, under which Nanking retained at least 6 semblance of authority, was due only to vigorous efforts of Tokyo parlia. mentarians with the support of Elm. peror Hirohito.
 The very vigor of these effortl probably contributed to today's up. risings. It was apparent to the ex. treme nilitarists that the hated civ ilian government again was begin ming to gain c degree of control ovel them. Their answer was force--th, same kind of brutal force they hal used against China.
 And if force failed, China prob ably will have Q breathing spell. Fo the new government in Tokyo prob ably will be against any more ad ventures on the Asaitic mainland at least for Q considerable period.

 Tokyo, Feb. 2e--(UP)-:The army and navy guarded public order ir Japan after young army extremists assass!nated three of Japans highs est statesmen and attacked others today in c bold, Hnerciless attempt at e coup.
 The first fleet was ordered to To- kyo and the second fleet to Osaka, the great industrial city. The war ofilce was in control in Tokyo under an emergency state of alarm, ap- preaching martial law.
 Troops guarded the streets and oil public buildings and homes of high officials. The bank of Japan closed temporarily.
 War 0hice Controls All official statements came from the war ofiice. Its first announce. ment of what had happened rec veaied that Premier Keisuke oka. do, Admiral Makoto Saito, lord keeper of the seal and former pre- mier, and Gen. Jotaro Watanabe, inspector general of military oper- ations, had been killed. The communique said Korekiyo Takahashi, finance minister, and Admiral Soroku Suzuki, grand chamberlain, were injured, and that Count Maklno, former lord privy seal, was missing after he had es- capcd from the attackers ct the Yigawara hot springs hotel. Although the war office said T'a- kahashi was only wounded, pri- vate advices insisted he was dead. Emperor Calls Advisers Emperor Hirohito summoned his personal advisers and leading statesmen and officers to the imper. ial palace. After 0 conference there, the home office announced that Flu. mic 0oto, home secretary, was tend- cred, and accepted, the acting prime ministry.
 The post was made vacant because Premier Kelsuke Okada was among the men on the assassination list of the army extremists.
 Announcements confiicted as to those killed.
 The war oifice announced the dead as Premier Okada, Admiral Makoto Saito, lord keeper of the seal and former premier, and Gen. Jotaro Watanabe, inspector general of mil- itary operations.
 The foreign ofilce named the dead as Premier Okada, Admiral Saito and Korekiyo Takahashi, finance minister.
 The war ofilce announcement was that Takahashi was wounded; the foreign ofiice announcement that Watanabe was wounded. Principal Target Lives Takahashi was believed the prin. cipal target of attack. The revolt was another stage in the centuries-old fight between civil leaders and army men who hold that the army is sue prcme. The young officers who re- volted wanted to eliminate liberal leaders. Takahashi won their bitter enmity by opposing big army appro- priations.
