ORDERS
ARREST OF 0'HARA
Rhode Island Executive
Charges Libel and
BIasphemy.
By the Associated Press.

PROVIDENCE, September o.
Governor Robert E. Quinn of Rhode
Island today announced he had ord
cred the arrest of Walter E. O'Hara on
a charge of criminal libel and
blasphemy"
AS the Governor spoke, O'Hara sat
in the State Supreme Court chamber
at hearing of his case attempting
to block the order of the State Rae
ing Commission, which demanded he
be dropped as managing director of
the Narragansett race track.
There was no immediate indication
when the arrest of the trackman and
publisher of the Providence STAR
Tribune would be sought. The Gov
ernor said he had directed the at
torney general to cause the arrest. but
as he spoke the official named was
in the Supreme Court chamber with
O'Hara.
Expulsion Is Promised
In a typewriter statement handed
out by the Governor at his office,
Quinn termed ''libelous and sour
rilous," a statement by O'Hara, pub
lished in an extra edition of the STAR
Tribune last night. In addition to
hitting at the Governor, the O'Hara
statement denied six charges against
the Narragansett Racing Associa-
ton.
The Governors statement, which
was brief. struck back sharply at
O'Hara and concluded with the words:
Il promise to drive him out of Rhode
Island"
Meanwhile the battle of Narra-
gansett" moved into the State Su-
preme Court in the drive by officials
TO oust O'Hara and close his Maria
gansett race track.
Case Up in Court.
In crowded court chamber the
full bench of the court took up the
case of "OHara VS.. Herman IL
was Francis j. Herman, chairman
OF the State racing division. who
Hldue pubic the order that OHara
be dropped as managing director of
the track and later issued six allie
cations charging, among other things.
that the racing association had "un-
lawfully appropriated certain money.
Laurence Hogan. attorney for OHara
characterized as harsh" the order di-
recting removal. He asserted it had mo
OASIS OF reason" and asked that both
the record of the commissions hear
ing and It's removal order be quashed
as illegal. He asserted the difficulty
between OHara and Doorley was "a
trivial thing and not legally sufficient
to warrant the removal of what ac-
tually makes Narragansett what it is"
Throughout much of the argument
Attorney General Hartigan sat read
ing the extra edition of O'Hara,s Star
Tribune.

they are pleased with the results. If
they don't get rid of the japanese, at
least they have got rid of white special
privileges.
Thus the initiative in strategy fell
into Chinese hands-at fearful costs
to their own people, true, but they
are satisfied. A Chinese official ac-
quaintance of mine was very much
discouraged until the japanese began
to destroy Shanghai, when he sud-
denly perked up: I'VE are all right
noW!"
Strategy of Chinese Clique.
What is the strategy of the Chinese
clique? To create incidents not only
at Shanghai but all along the coast
In Tsingtao to force semi-independent
Gen. Han Fu-chu and his 10000 we'll
trained, huge Shantungese into the
patriotic cause; in Canton to involve
The resentful Cantonese and the Brit
ish sitting on Hongkong Island next
door, and to draw the japanese into
Foochow, Amoy-anywhere. Their
strategy is not to drive japanese
armies away from the coast. But to
threaten them sufficiently so that
Japan must send more forces. The
more japanese troops that are begged
down in Chinese mire the heavier the
strain on japanese finances, japanese
nerves, Japanese relations with Brit
ain, the United States and France.
Consequently, friction grows in japan
between business, which is scared: the
army. which feels that the navy has
messed up its plans, and the navy.
which feels it has been cheated of an
opportunity to display its Importance.
And maybe, If 100000 Japanese
troops, half of Japans electives. get
begged down in China, Russian Gen.
Bluecher will enter the picture, with
or without Stains assent. 10 give
Japan the coup de grace with his 700
airplanes and 100000 men. Or if not
that, Japan caught in the Chinese
hypaper might be glad to accept some
face-saving arrangement proposed by
the Brltish-American bloc for return
to the status quo of the Washington
treaty.
Such is the desperate hope of the
desperate clique riding the Topping
Chinese dragon into war. They must
stick together, and work shrewdly. or
all is lost.
Tomorrow we shall examine their
chances Of Russian aid.
