fore Parliament, whereupon he was
given a vote of confidence.
At the same time the sudden death
by Stabbing of Een. Eugene Jacques
Marie Etienne, retired banker, which
the defense mini Try said was suicide,
injected a strange new angle into the
situation.
Etienne'S death was not connected
directly with the present judicial in
quiry into the National Bank. and the
reasons for his act were not known.
His only apparent link to the present
case was that he was once director of
the GoldZieher e. Penso Bank which
failed five years ago after he resigned.
The governments opposition has
charged that the National Bank ad-
ministration. during the time Van
iceland was vice president, negligently
accepted doubtful paper from the
Goldzieher g. Penso Bank
Five officials of the Golzieher &
Penso Bank are now awaiting trial in
connection with its failure, but
Etienne was never blamed.
Van iceland was ON vacation when
the latest storm arose. He returned

making preparations to resign.

were appraising the damage from tue
rainfall of nearly 8 inches. FRIDAY

Vincent A. Osterman, president OF
the Board of Commissioners at
Bladensburg, where the Northeastern
Branch of the Anacostia River went
on rampage. estimated the flood
damage there this year would approx
mate S5OO,000. and that a like toll
would be exacted in the neighborlng
communities of Brentwood, Riverdale,
Colmar Manor and East Hyattsville.
Conditions this year have been the
worst since 1888. The annual damage
is estimated generally from 100000 to
S125. 900, and the cost of flood control
would be under this figure, making 1t
economically feasible, according to
Osterman.

LORD CECIL VISIT
HELD PEACE LINK
British Statesman Expected
to Confer With Presi-
dent in November.
By ]. RUSSELL YOUNG

International circles in Washington
today were specializing on the purpose
of the forthcoming visit Of Lord Rob-
ert Cecil. outstanding peace advocate
OF England and for many years prom
inently identified with the League OF
Nations
To Arrive in November.
1t was said at the British Embassy
today the British statesman would
arrive in Washington some time in
November, but none of the attaches
could throw light on the reason for
his visit to the American Capital at
this time
The feeling in some quarters here is
that Lord Cecil'S visit to Washington
may have been inspired by President
RoOsevelt's recent utterances denounc-
ing world aggressors and appealing for
peaceful settlement of world disputes.
1t also is believed Lord Cecil will call
ON President Roosevelt and possibly
may be White House guest for at
least a part of his stay here.
Won Woodrow Wilson Award.
Lord Cecil won world prominence
in 1924 when he was the winner of
the $4,000 award from the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation for an essay on
peace This prize was personally pre-
sented to the British peace advocate
by Norman Davis. then the president
of the foundation and now United
States Ambassador-at-large. who has
Just been sent by the President to
Brussels to participate in the forth
coming conference of secretaries to
the ne-Power Peace Pact
Lord Cecil has been in British public
life for more than 80 years and has
served in several cabinets. At one
time he was president of the League
of Nations and more recently presi-
dent of the League of Nations Union.

Mr. Curran added. The union, an
affiliate of the Committee for Indus

commission for its action in helping
end a seaman's strike aboard the
steamer Algic, Government-owned
ship, while in South American waters
recently.
Mr.. Curran said the union indorsed
"wholeheartediy' the decision Of its

Kennedy.
He said he had advised union
longshoremen at Montevideo, Uruguay,
not to strike against working on the
American Republic line freighter Col
linsworth, Government-owned boat
currently at Montevideo.
Patrick Whalen, Baltimore N. M. U.
leader, had requested the strike in pro-
test against the arrest of Is Of the
Algic crew at Baltimore Saturday.
Mr.. Curran said the strike lis not
necessary at this time"
Removal of both Mr.. Kennedy and
Daniel S. Ring, personnel officer
and labor representative of the COM
mission was demanded in resolution
adopted yesterday by the Baltimore
branch of the union.
The resolution, directed to Presi
dent Roosevelt, said the arrest of the
seamen, who struck while the ship
was in Montevideo, in sympathy with
walkout of longshoremen there, was
another move on the part of ship
owners to deprive American seamen
of their rights of collective bargain

SHANGHAI. Oct. 25. - General

Chinese armies stopped the Japanese
juggernaut offensive today after six
days and nights of heavy fighting on
the Shanghai front.
The japanese Army spokesman ad-
mtted that the general japanese ad-
vance of more than 100000 men"
aided by tanks, planes and continued
bombardments was slowed down"
Destruction Of bridges. mining of
highways and acres of barbed wire

British Ordered to Fire.
British authorities. as an after
math of the Staying of British SOL
dier by Japanese warplane yester-
day, issued orders to all their defense
posts to fire without hesitation in self
defense against any airplanes.
simultaneously, British officials
lodged two protests on the incident.
Seven Americans and about a score
of other foreigners were endangered
yesterday when a japanese plane
sprayed machine gun bullets near the
western edge of the International
Settlement.
Bitter fighting amid the ruins of
Tazang, strategic communication point
about five miles north of Shanghai,
still was in progress. Japanese as
serted they had occupied villages west
of Tazang.
Foreign military experts said they
believed japanese will take a breath
ing spell to bring up heavy artillery
with which to attempt new drive
toward Nanziang, well to the rear of
Chinese lines.
The experts said they considered
Chinese defending KiangWan, north
west of Shanghai, in a dangerous
position because of the possibility of
their being cut off by japanese ad-
vance on Nanziang.
1t was asserted. however, that
Kiangwan is of little military value
and Chinese probably will withdraw

Chinese.
After japanese warships bombarded
the KiangWan race course with con-
siderable damage to the club house
and grandstands, Japanese infantry
advanced from the civic center and
asserted they occupied territory on
each side, including the Commercial
University, with the race course no

BRUSSELS, Oct. 25.-The govern

signed tonight.
The premier went directly to the
palace to tender his resignation to
King Leopold.
The official announcement revealed
that all the ministers of the cabinet
decided to show the confidence in Van
zeeland's integrity by resigning with
him. They also drafted a letter ex-
pressing their confidence in their
resigning chief, who apparently de-
cided to turn back to the role of

With Associate Justice Hugo l..
Black taking no part in consideration
OF the case, the Supreme Court today
announced it would not review the
conviction of Haywood Patterson, col
ored, convicted for the third time OF
attacking a while girl in the cele-
brated Scottsboro case.
The announcement that Justice
Black took no part in the case was
made apparently to ward off another
attack on his competency to serve
as a Supreme Court justice. 1t was
believed this is the first time a justice
of the court has refrained from par
ticipating in case under like cir
cun1stanceS.
Attack on Black Feared.
It had been intimated that should
the appeal be denied with Justice
Black participating, the validity OF
the ruling would be attacked ON the
theory Justice Black was disqualified
because of his admitted former MEM
bership in the Ku Klux Klan.
Since the Klan had been decidedly
hostile to the colored race, some ob-
servers believed participate by the
new Justice might offer substantial
grounds for assailing the finding of
the court.
Blacks qualifications were attacked
when he first took his seat on the
theory he was ineligible on constitu-
tional grounds. The court. however,
refused to hear the attack on the
ground that the petitioners-two law
yers-did not have sufficiently direct
interest in the matter. That led to the
belief that a new attack by htigant
actually involved in a case before the
court might be heard.
The fact that Justice Black did not
participate led Immediately to specu-
lation as to whether he will refrain
from taking part in any case in which
his former Klan membership might
be cited as a possible disqualification.
On a number of occasions III the past
justices have refrained from taking
part in considering litigation, but this
generally is done only when the JUS
tice or some member OF his family
has an interest in the controversy.
Patterson, in view OF the courts ac-
tion today, must now begin serving a
75-year prison sentence. Convicted
twice before, the Supreme Court set
the verdict aside in the first instance
because he had not been given ade-
ouate counsel, and, on the second oc-
casion, because members of the colored
race we're systematically excluded"
from serving on the juries that in
dicted and convicted him.
Several other colored youths were
