BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, october 1.-Sharp
condemnation of japanese bombing of
Hankow and the Hankow- Canton
Railway on September 25 came today
from Rear Admiral Harry Yarnell,
commander of the United States
Asiatic Fleet.
A japanese spokesman had said the
Japanese Navy was informed by
United States Ambassador Nelson T..
johnson that all Americans and other
foreigners had been evacuated from
Hankow and surrounding territory by
noon of September &c.
This Admiral Yarnell fatty denied,
saying Ambassador Johnson issued no
such information, but instead told the
japanese that foreigners would be
evacuated from Hankow and the SUR
rounding vicinity after September 26.
The statement by Japanese naval
spokesman that japanese authorities
had been informed by Ambassador
johnson that evacuation of Americans
and other foreigners from Hankow
and thereabouts would be completed
by noon. September 26, was entirely in
error, as no such information had been
given out by the Ambassador" Ad-
miral Yarnell stated.
There were negotiations with jap
anese authorities to withhold the
bombing of the Hankow-Canton rail-
ways until September 26 to permit
three small parties of Americans to
reach Canton safely. Notice was given
them, however, that there would be
additional parties later.
There are in the Yangtze Valley
several thousand foreigners, one thou
sand of whom are Americans. Many
of these persons will wish to leave
China at various times and it is imper-
ative that safe route to reach one of
the seaports from the Yangtze Valley
be agreed upon"
Chinese Holding Own.
Meanwhile, the Chinese defenders
of Shanghai reported they were hold
ing their own all along the line and,
In some sectors, sharply counter-at-
tacking.
In the vicinity of Kiangwan, the
Chinese reported, their counter attack
resulted in a virtual rout of Japanese
troops. The Japanese admitted Kiang-
wan civic center buildings had been
evacuated" but they contended their
lines in the rear were unchanged. The
Chinese told of surrounding and an
Initiating 500 Japanese soldier in that
sector
A japanese army spokesman said
Japanese casualties in the last five
weeks of fighting on the Shanghai
front totalled 1880 men. OF this
number, 1893 were killed in action
and the rest wounded These figures
did not include naval losses, which
have been considerable.
The japanese estimated Chinese
losses In the same period at 10000
killed and $4,000 wounded.

BEER TAX
NETS BILLION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Uncle
Sam is paying the expenses of. the
Senators and Representatives back
to their home towns, at the rate of
20 cents mile. It cost this year
100000, and will cost as much to
get them back here in January
Most of the memebrs got checks for
the round trip at the beginning of
the session The largest check was
for $2,O5480 for Samuel Wilder
King, Territorial Delegate from
Hawaii, who lives more than 5000
miles from Washington.
The Treasury is happy over the
cash returns from the beer tax.
Since the sale of beer was legalized
on April 7, 1888, the American peo-
pie have drunk 200 million barrels
of it, or almost barrel a year per
family, and have paid a Federal tax
of SIS a barrel, which summed up
early this month to round billion
dollars. which is more than the most

BLACK KAPPOINTMENTLOOKED
UPON ASPRESIDENT'S REPLY
TODEMO NEW DEAL CRITICS
Democratic Revolt More Against Philosophy Which
New Deal SymbOlizes Than Against The
President Personally

WASHINGTON, August 81 (Auto-
caSter)-The appointment of Sen
ator Hugo Lafayette Black of Ala
bama to the Supreme Court bench
to succeed the retired Justice Van
Devanter is looked upon here as
the Presidents reply to the critics
of the New Deal in his own party.
For Senator Black is in his own per-
son the very embodiment of the
principles and policies initiated by
Mr.. Roosevelt which have come to
be known collectively by the term
New Deal';; and the Democratic
revolt in Congress has been against
the political philosophy which the
New Deal symbolizes more than
against the President personally.
Senator Black has not been
mere follower of the Administration.
He is a sincere believer not only in
the objectives of the New Deal but
in it's methods He is co-author Of
the Black -Connery bill for Federal
regulation of hours and wages o1
labor. He was the original propo-
nent of the 30-hour work week. He
has been the ardent, aggressive ad-
vocate of many measures which are
considered radical, and the support
er. from conviction, of most of the
New Deal legislation which the Su-
preme Court, of which he now be-
comes a member, has held to be be-
yond the Constitutional authority
of Congress to enact.
It was smart politics on the
Presidents. part to name Senator
for the Supreme Court vacancy, fol-
the tradition of Senatorial cOur'
tesy'' insured his confirmation, ever
though for once the Senate did moi
act Immediately, but listened to pro-
tests by its own members against
the elevation of one of their owr

Nogalian And Detective
Each Lay Claim To
$500 Reward

TUCSON, Aug. 27-The claims OF
two individuals, one of them a Tue
son police officer, for the informers
reward for the apprehension OF a
narcotic smuggler last January Will
be presented to Judge Albert M.
Sames when the law and motlon
calendar is called in United States
district court Monday.
One of the contenders for the $5OO
reward is Chester w. Sherman, de-
tective of the Tucson police force,
and the other is James D. Hathaway
of Nogales.
Rival Claims
The hearing is on the intervening
petitions filed by the two in the suit
of the United States VS.. the Com
mercial Standard Insurance COM
pany. surety on the bond OF LUIS 3.
Rivera. defendant on an indictment
charging illegal importation OF mar
cotics,
Several weeks ago the govern
ment obtained judgment against the
company when Rivera failed to ap-
near in court and his $lOOO po1lo
was forfeited. Hathaway and Sner-
NON each claims half of this sum as
an informer.
Roth Take Credit
Tn his petition, Sherman sets 1ortn
that he furnished the infornaClon 10
IT s. Simpson, United States Gus
toms inspector, which resulted IN
Rivera's arrest on the Nogales nlgn-
way south of Tucson. The arrest
was made by Sherman, Simpson ana
Inspector Charles Jones.
Hathaway in turn, declares it was
his information that brought about
Rivera's capture. His petition says
he informed Inspector W. K. Ken
nedy of Rivera's activities and sub
sequently, on Jan. 10, told Kennedy
Rivera had crossed the border with
COntraband. He says heIl1euy III
turn called the Tucson police de-
partment, whence two parties OF OF
ficers rode forth to intercept the
smuggler.
Affidavit Affixed
One party, Sherman, Simpson and
jones, went further south than the
other and captured Rivera.
Sherman goes into no detail ex-
cept to say he gave the information
that caused the arrest. His petition
is accompanied by an affidavit
signed by Simpson supporting his
claim. Hathaway's has an affidavit
ready for Kennedy's signature, but
not signed, supporting his claim.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-A bit

South is handicapped by the aboli-

CORCORAN AND
HAVERLY GIVEN
PRISON TERMS

TUCSON, Aug. 27-William E.
Corcoran, 23-year-old scion of
wealthy eastern family and descend
ant of the founder of the Corcoran
art gallery in Washington, D. c.,
was sentenced to two years in pris-
on when he pleaded guilty before
Judge Albert M. Sames in U. S.
district court Tuesday to charge of
illegally importing narcotics.
A similar penalty was imposed on
Corcoran's companion, Don Haver-
ly, of Globe, and Nogales, who also
pleaded guilty.
In addition to the prison SEN
tences, Judge Sames fined the two
men $3.50 apiece on each of the two
counts of the indictment, total of
$500 for each defendant.
Asks Leniency
Duane Bird, Nogales attorney,
who appeared as counsel for the
pair, asked leniency for his clients
because neither had any criminal
record. He declared it was their
first venture at smuggling narcotics:
Bird contended the purpose of pun
misunderstanding further Of
already had been served by
their arrest and prosecution.
Corcoran and Haverly were ar
rested by customs inspectors at No
gales, who found five 25-gram bot
ties of cocaine in their automobile.
Judge Sames pointed out to Bird
that it is not the practice of the
court to extend leniency in cases
where the importation appeared to
be for the purpose of sale of the
contraband.

WATERS SWEEP
THRU NOGALES
Flood Tube In Nogales
Sonora, Unable To
Garry Volume

For the first time since compile
ton of the flood control works five
years ago, Nogales was flooded Mon
day afternoon.
A cloudburst in the mountainous
area about Nogales, Sonora, sent
such a volume of water down the
hillsides that the tunnel along the
international line on the Mexican
side of the border was inadequate to
carry the sudden flood.
Pouring over the top of the tube,
one of the main flood channels
across the line, the water swept in
to Noga1es, Arizona, and soon trans
formed Grand and Morley avenues
into rivers and in some places, rag
ing ones.
Flood waters crept into numerous
business houses on Grand avenue,
including the city council chambers,
the office of the city clerk, the po-
lice station, Chamber of Commerce,
Border Feed & Seed Company, No
gales International, Miller Assay Of
flee, Progressive Grocery, Cheshire's
garage, and other places, and left
a layer of mud. Barricades, quickly
built by business men, prevented
damage to several establishments.
Debris stopped up drains on north
Grand avenue at the bridge in front
of the Methodist church and the
water there reached a depth of
about two and one half feet, and
lacked only one inch of entering the
new civic center building.
Water poured over the bridge
just north of the tequila distillery
on Grand avenue to a depth of
about two feet.
Houses Wrecked
Several poorly constructed adobe
houses about one block south of the
municipal market in Nogales, So
nora, crumbled and were swept
away.
