government # the demands upon Japan are not satisfied, the Prosi- dent prefaeed the presentation of his demands to saito by on appeal through his press secretary, Stephen T. Early, for support from the press and the public for any decision that he and his aides might make on the panay incident.
 Next Move Not Known
 Early said that this governments next move could not Do determined until oil facts concerning the bomb- ing had become known, and that any action taken would Do made strictly from tho viewpoint of patriotism and national welfare, subordinating oil other considerations.
 After MT. Roosevelts demands had been presented to saito tho White House decided that tho State Dee partment, In making public the action, had not made It sufficiently plain that tho demands were those personally dictated by the President and intended for the Japanese Emperor. To emphasize this, the White House instructed tho state Department to nake public the full text of the Presidents memorandum to Hull.
 This procedure was thought to Do unprecedented In the conduct of American foreign relations. Attaches of tho government could remember no previous case in which this pro. oedure was followed.
 Several Measures In View
 Government officials 0inphaSised that, while it Is still too eAfly to discuss the further action" which this government might take in event tho Presidents demands are not satisfied by Japan, there are several measures, oil Ahort of war, which could Do taken to injure tho finances, trade and prestige of the Japanese government.
 This threat was considered the more serious because Of the gov. ernmentAi and public fro aroused in Great Britain over similar attacks upon British warships and merchant vessels made by japaaese aerial ana land forces almost simultaneously with the attacks on tho Panay and tho Standard Oil vessels.
 It was believed that tho British government would Do likely to sup-, port any action taken by tho Amer. lean government, or to take parallel action. It was known that consul- tatlons are going on between the British and American government, both in London and Washington.

efforts--and the Japanese govern- ment in the note delivered ct Tokyo promised measures to safeguard against further attacks on American ships-the Japanese navy delivered here It's implied warning that 1t might Do impossible to preeent fur. ther "lncidents".
 The spokesman announced that Japanese navy authorities had no- tihed American and British naval officers that, although oil possible steps would Do taken to prevent fur- their attacks, In view Of the possi- bility of extensive hostilities the most practical way to prevent inci- dents would Do the removal of for- oign warships from war zone.
 (The significance of tho warning was increased because tho Japan. csc army end navy are responsible, in the end, only to Emperor Hiro- hito. The army and navy appoint the war and navy ministers in tho cabinet and act themselves with independenoe.)
 After Survivors
 A statement was Issued from the Augusta, Admiral Yarnell's flagship, saying that tho Oahu, tho British dunboat Boo, tho Japanese QunboAt HodEu and two jApanese destroyers had contacted tho Panay survivors ct Hanshan and expected to begin taking them aboard immediately.
 The British Qunboat Ladyblrd will absorb the overflow from the Oahu, and the Hodsu and mino- aWeepers will convoy the ships to Shanghai. Tho statement said:
 "rhe purpose Of the 0ahu's trip iB to ovacuate wounded survivors Of the American ships bombed on Sun- day to the hospital ct Shanghai and possibly Manila, And for no other reason, ehe will return to her sta. ton uprivor in due course"
 Take Care Of Wounded
 The statement said tho British 0unboat Bee would take to Wuhu, nearer tho scene, any wounded men whose condition requires it. The statement said the Japanese were lending every assistance. It also said British officers who examined two of tho threo bombed Standard oil vessels--tho other was sunk though they could Do salvaged.
 "As near aS can Do ascertained, tho Panay was bambed about 1880 D. m. (sunday and sank about 2:30 D. fl." the statement said. "Nothing lB now showing" The last meant that tho ship was completely subs merged.

 Something Strange
 "It seems rather strange that the zoning commission should have made provision for troops of the United States to be allowed to drill in Southbury If the ordinance really was designed for the benefit of the taxpayers generally and not as a seini-serious appeal for support by certain individuals who protested against the Bund camp" Mir. Gas. sidy told The Democrat. "The or. dinance, as 1t will be presented, is not the true expression of the wish of many property owners in this section"

 From Miss drifiln's replies to questions, police concluded that the young man had admitted himself to the house to await the arrival of Mrs. Carpenter and Miss Grimm from tho beauty shop. H0 spent the interval drinking and smoking ia the recreation room.
 When the women entered the house the youth, described by Miss Grimm as neat, polite and soft- spoken, stepped from behind Q cur- tain. He said all ho wanted was money'' Mss Grimm told police. We gave him oil we had. ft wasn't much but he seemed satisfied and told us to go upstairs to the master bedroom. !"
 The young man followed them and, Aourishing Q revolver he had taken from Mrs. Carpenters bod. room, ordered tho older woman to bind Miss Griffin.
 Tied Her Hands
 "She finally managed to tic my hands" the girl said, "but l must have pulled myself up in bed as he started to bind my feet. He cracked mo over tho head with the revolver butt, and Mrs. Carpenter screamed. Then heard threo shots. I don't remember anything else for c time."
 When Miss Grimm recovered con. sciousness she found her clothes had been torn of, she said. After attack ing hor, tho girl continued, the youth bathed tho wound on her head and applied antiseptio to 1t.
 Mrs. Carpenter was the widow of a leather manufactures from whom sho inherited e26,000. He died in 1885 after she had started divorce pro. oeedings.
 Fred R. Kingman of Jackson Heights, New York City, arrived at tho home last night after the slay. ing. He told police he was engaged to Mrs. Carpenter but that no date had been set for the wedding.
