JAPAN GIVES
 OUT WARNING,
 ENTIRE WORLD
Will Brook No Interference in Present Sino- -Jap-
 anese Strife

GENEVA. Sept. l5--Japan has flatly ignored even friendly media tion of the League of Nations in the Sino-Japanese conflict.
 This is the disclosure made by the Japanese Minister to Switzerland.
 Envoy Fiji Amau told the Associat- ed Press today that Japan will brook no interference in the Far Eastern crisis.
 The statement was made as the League pondered what, if any action. would be taken on China's blister ing indictment of the Japanese "ag- gression" and her demand for the Leagues denunciation of the Japan ese military campaign.
 Dr. Wellington Roo, one of China's most illustrious statesman, warned the United States and all of Eu- rope, that Japanese guns may men, ace them some day if they do not support China now.
 If Japan succeeds in the attempt to dominate Shanghai, the end of the vast commercial interests there of Europe and America can be easily foreseen." said Dr. Roo.

.HAIDA OFFICER BROWNS IN FALL OFF CANCPLANK
Chester Poulsen, 37, Slips Overheard Two Patrol
 Launches Drag for Body

Chester c. Paulson, 37, Chief Yoe- man on the United States Coast Guird cutter Haida, met his death shortly after midnight this morning when he slipped or fell off the gang plank leading to the vessel.
 Apparently hitting the heavy log canfel at the fcot of the Govern ment dock, his body immediately sank beneath the surface of the Channel waters.
 Chief Commissary Steward Dan Ayers, close friend of Poulsen's who was on deck at the time, spread the alarm immediately and few seconds later all hands were on deck assisting in the search for the body. Poulsen had spent the evening in town and returned at 12:30 a. m. in local taxicab AS he left the conveyance the tide was out and the gang plank was at steep an- gle, estimated at more than 60 de- grees.
 Fog Prevails
 A heavy, murky fog enveloped the entire city at the time According to Ayers, who witnessed the acci- dent ,Paulsen started to climb down the steep plank.
 T couldn't tell exactly what hap pened after that he said, but 1t looked as if he either slipped on the guard rail as he climbed on or else he started down the gang-plank and his right leg gave out under him.
 Poulsen had been troubled for years with a game leg, Ayers said, and at one time had considered re- tiring from the Coast Guard service because of this injury. He had been treated for his leg by the ships doctor yesterday morning.
 After Ayers had spread the alarm, patrol launches from the Cyane and the Haida began dragging the Chan nelwith six-feet pipe weighted down by chains and carrying halibut hooks. This search was continued until o'clock this morning.
 Dragging Resumed
 This morning at o'clock drag ging efforts with the patrol launches were continIed. At 10 o'clock the first mine was laid but failed to explode because of weak battery Mines were then laid at several strategic points in efforts to bring the body to the surface.

 There is more production and de- velopment in placer mining than I have seen in years" MT. Stewart said, but there is still a lack of prospectors. There is little new dis covery and there continues to be a great field for the prospector."
