 According to Johnson, a Japanese soldier was reputed to have disap- peared in a small town, and when a band of Japanese soldiers enter ed the town to search for the miss ing man, brief skirmish of snipers took place, precipitating a spread ing conflict.
 Feeling, of course, was running high among the Japanese and Chin csc citizenry, but we saw little of the Japanese soldiers" Private Johnson stated "The Japanese sol diers, were only permitted to come to town at infrequent intervals, but when they did, all wore sabers at their S des. Their infrequent visits to town, however, might have been occasioned by the fact that

5000 salary as Assistant Secretary of Labor. He stayed on at the Presidents request, so information here goes, because the President wanted him during the election and the troublesome labor period that followed. To that extent there was sacrifice on the part of McGrady.
 But look at the whole McGrady picture, instead of just part.
 He is 65. During 60 of those years not one man in a thousand outside of labor ranks could have told who McGrady was. For IS years before his appointment as As sistant Secretary, he was an organ izer and lobbyist in Washington for the American Federation of Labor. It was an important job, but not such job as to cause private enter prise to rush to his side with fat offers Those offers developed after he became Assistant Secretary of Labor and made a name for himself as a strike mediator.
 Don't undercut this man Me- Grady He is a bargain at whatever figure the Radio Corporation of America had to pay to get him as its labor relations man. But the offer came after his government service, not before.

 While in Peking, Johnson at- tempted to learn the Chinese lan- guage, mastering between three and four hundred words-enough to car ry on an ordinary conversation. The average Chinese vocabulary, accord ing to Johnson, includes about 800 to 1000 words, many of which have astonishing relation to the English language.
 China Slang
 Our slang expression 'beezer' for nose is acttally the Chinese word for that facial appendage," John- son revealed.
 Most difficult task in acquiring a working knowledge of Chinese stated Johnson, is becoming accus- toned to the fact that there are

THE RISE OF MIR. LANDS

Much the same can be said of Landis. He never had an extensive private practice; so he didn't give up $100,000 a year law business to help the Government out of a hole. He was so bright as a Harvard law student that Justice Brandeis chose him as his law clerk, distinction that means something even in these court-baiting days. But justices are allowed only s5,6O0 for office assis- tapce, and that sum usually must include pay for a stenographer.
 From that job Landis went back ito Harvard as assistant professor of law. He made a rapid climb and was professor of legislation when, in 1883, the Government invited him to help write the Securities Act

The Government paid him $10,000 a year. That is more than teaching usually pays.
 Chances are his successful trick in government service put him in line for dean of the law school away ahead of the time he could have expected it if he had stayed in the class room.
 Landis and McGrady are not the only ones who often have been pie tured as sacrificing time and lucre for dear old Government. But, with few exceptions, the Govern ment got them because it paid more than they were getting before.

CHINA IS EDEN FOR ARMY BOYS
 SAYS PRIVATE
Ex-Soldier in China Misses His Coolie Boys, So
 He Says

China is a soldiers paradise, ac- lcording to Private James H. John Ison, who passed through Juneau yesterday on his way to Chilkoot Barracks after three years service in the United States Army in Pe- king, where money goes a long ways and coolies do the K. P. duty.
 Any place where a mans salary goes three times as far as ordin- arily is a good place for a soldier to be, trouble or not trouble" laugh ed lean-faced Johnson whose mem lories are still fresh of the favorable rate of exchange for American dol lars as compared with the Chinese Mex
 When Private Johnson left Peking on July 16 one American dollar was worth $335 in Chinese money. At the Post exchange the best cham pagne on a long list was only $8 quart in Chinese Mex, or less than $3 in American money. COOlies Do the Work
 Each company had IS Chinese coolies that did all the unpleasant tasks that usually plague the aver age enlisted mans daily life. Cool ies do the kitchen police duty, and a host of minor tasks for $3 Mex. per month for each enlisted man, the minor tasks including jan itor work making soldiers beds and cleaning their boots and lockers. Non- n-commissioned officers pay $5 Mex. a month, but they get the add ed service of being tucked into bed at night, even to the lifting and fastening down of the summer mos quito netting over the beds.
 In addition, each company has two Chinese barbers that give each man all the haircuts and slaves he desires for 80 cents a month.
 T never shaved myself more than twice in Peking, during the three years I was stationed there," said Johnson.

that he was not OBTAINING

Woodward, however, agreed with
Miss Simpson that the answer
was insufficient, and ordered
Pugh to say whether it was in
his power to produce the
prisoner.
Pugh then admitted that
Pinkett was held in the Rock
vile jail charged with embezzling

obtained another writ of habeaS
corpus in which she named
Sheriff G. Eddington Bell, as her
client is technically in his
custody. This will be brought
up for a hearing before Judge
Woodward today.
Although Pinkett was arrested
in June, the embezzlement
charge was not read to him until
40 minutes before yesterdays
hearing, Miss Simpson charged
and since his arrest he has been
shifted from jail to Jail.
In an affidavit Attorney Simp-
son said that Pinkett actually
was held in connection with the
murder of Frances Black, a
roomer in his house at Rockville,
whose hacked body was found
in a woods a year and a half

MARYLAND RELIEF
AGREEMENT NEAR
Barring Political Bickering,
Passage May Come
Next Week.
BY the Associated Press.

1's VIC HssoClhteQ TTeSS.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 1.-The end
OF the special legislative session called
to enact relief-revenue program ap-
peared in sight today, barring renewal
OF political pickering that has over
clouded the welfare issue.
AS the General Assembly recessed
after week that produced the first
appreciable progress toward enactment
OF a relief program, there were signs
the legislators may be able to finish
their work next week.
Standing in the way of this, how
ever, was developing fight on pro-
posed tax on public utility services.
One Democratic spokesman said
powerful lobby was forming against
the tax. A move already has been
made to tax the user and not the
utility.
Both branches of the Legislature
have agreed at least on one phase Of
the relief problem, and that Is that
no more than $5,0Oo,O 900 a year should
be provided for relief. Both are con-
sidering tax plans to raise that
amount.
Both also have approved income
taxes. The Senate would levy tax
of one-half of l per cent on all in
comes, corporate and personal. The
House would impose tax of l per
cent on personal incomes. Both levies
are designed to raise 81 900 900 year.
Senate President Lansdale G. Sasscer
introduced the income tax measure in
the Senate and political observers
credited this move by the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate with resolving
the relief issue down to a compare
lively small scope.
The plans by which the House and
Senate would raise the other $4,000, 900
differed in some particulars and left
the way open for a snarl to arise be-
fore final agreement is reached
Both plans contemplate taxes on
automobile titling, whisky, beer, ad-
missions cosmetics and documents re-
registration of motorists and pin-ball
machines. However, the Senate also
would tax music boxes and utilities.
