Shaw, superintendent, told a military
inquiry today he was partly respon-
sible" for an informal gas line con-
nection for the heating system of the
eXplOSion-WreCked school and that he
had not known of any particular OBJ
lection to the connection.
The gas line is being studied among
numerous other factors in the search
for the cause of the disaster which
killed ass children and teachers.
Shaw, who lost a son in the ex-
ploSiOn, was so weakened that he re-
tired from the witness stand to q
nearby cot. He is a sufferer from
high blood pressure.
A clue to the ignition of the explo-

testified, at almost the same instant
a man pulled a light switch in the

The gas connection Of which Shaw
testified was with line of the Parade

man Tor that company, testified the
school had tapped" the line for heat

Shaw said he had talked with Earl

while oil field gas was going to waste.

that we were liable to be cut loose at
any time, but I concluded that he did
not particularly object"
Janitors ran pipe from the school to

he was partly responsible" for giving
the order.
AT one point Shaw testified

Continuance Prevents Ex- ecutiOn of Jail Sentence
 in Lieu of Bond

A 30-year old man was being sent to jail this morning for failure to post . bond of $500 irisurlng pay- nnent os elO weekly support Co his estranged wife. He was Q clean- cut looking man-but either fi- nancial difficulties or Q desire to be stubborn had forced him to acc cept the secondary judgment and go to jail.
 T can't get the hond," he said, "so m 90 to jail."
 At. the hearing he showed c list of the articles he had bought for his wife and child during the Cristmas season. Probation Officer Emil Huinmei said he had refused to give his wife any money, hcw- ever, and that he had not been asked to buy gifts. "The wife and child must eat" said Mr. Hunamel.
 After court the accused was tak- en Co the court cage to await re moval to jail--and as he sat In the cage-three visitors, one of them his son crowded near to the iron lattice.work to speak with him. Suddenly the little boy, with fire in his eyes (as well as tears) turned on his mother, who was ap. preaching from another corner of the court-room. His outburst in objection to his mother required the combined efforts of Court Of- ficer Joseph Garvey and Probation Officer Kathleen Crowley. The lot. ter then interceded with Judge Mc0rath and prevailed upon him to containe the mans case for an. other week.

 For the reasons enumerated, there is considerable doubt among for- eign experts and Chinese officials alike that the Japanese will make a drive of any extent in the south soon. It Is held that they could not hope Co cut of China's supply line by merely taking Canton. It Is argued that the Japanese have ex- tended their armies precariously far now, that the Canton country b dil5acult end might prove too trou- blesome to make Q drive profitable, and that . clash in the Canton Hong Kong area might bring the risk Of further misunderstanding" with both Great Britain and the United States.
