the sole remaining means of com munication, Tientsin reported tha the Japanese army hospital thert was overflowing with Japanese troop casualties in three serious en- gagementS that have occurred since the weekend.
 Japs Got Licking
 The first of these was at Lang. fang, midway along Che 60 milC railroad between Peiping and Tient' sin. The second occurred wher Japanese troops tried to force theil way into the Kwangan gate at thu southwest side of Peiping. Chinese troops trapped half of them inside the wall and fighting ceased onll when a Japanese mediator and { Chinese official escorted the Japan. csc to the embassy quarter. It wal asserted that the Japanese virtually surrendered.
 Attacked Garrison
 Then, on the complaint tha Chinese troops at Tungchow refused to evacuate or disarm, Japanese thll afternoon attacked the Chinese gar. rison there with airplanes and in' fantry.
 A Japanese spokesman at Tient. sin asserted that the Japanese "an. initiated the garrison to the last man."
 Japanese casualties were put at between l5 and 20 in the Tungchov operation and 21 in the fighting at the Kwangan gate.
 The situation had become one oI the most urgent gravity. One O. two angry Japanese ultimatums de. manding withdrawal of Chimes, troops had expired, apparently blandly ignored by the Chinese. 4 second had as its deadline noon to. morrow (midnight tonight EDT).
 China Wakes Up
 Chinese sources asserted tha China had decided to reject the de mands.
 Chinese troops began sandhagginl the streets on the west side of thu city and men of the 37th division which the Japanese dislike above al others-remained at the westerr gates.
 A Japanese dispatch from Tsing' tao, down the coast, reported tha several thousand troops of the ma tional Chinese government were pro ceeding northward.
 Martial Law at Tientsin
 At Tientsin, 60 miles southeas near the coast, marital law was op erative in the native city after tn, explosion of a bomb in the Japanes' concession.
 Fearfully, the old capital her awaited the Japanese army's anSwel to the defeat inflicted on their mer who tried to force a way into thu city thruoghoutt he Kwangan gate southernmost of the entrances t' the city on its west side.
 The 500 Japanese troops involved arrived at the gate in 50 trucks iron Fengtai, southwest of the city.
 Chinese said that part of the 50l forced their way thruogh the gate the Japanese said that a Chimes. sentry dropped a bomb into one o the trucks while the convoy wa proceeding throguh the gates peace ably.
 At any rate, within a few moments part of the Japanese were inside and then the gates were slammed shut nd the Japanese fcrc was cu in half. part in and part out of thI city.

der is a director.
 Seaverns testified he conferred with Elder at the associations Brattleboro, Vt., headquarters for three hours on the afternoon of May 25, leaving at D. m.
 Elder appeared "all used up" and slumped in his chcair during their conference, Seaverns said. Elder has said that he long has suffered from a heart ailment, which both cred" him more than usual during the three or four weeks preceding the alleged assault.
 Threatened Morton
 Yesterdays testimony was high lighted by the admission of retired Headmaster Henry F. Cutler, "A, a defense witness, that Elder threat ened Norton with violence" after the former cashier had reported the "chucking" incident.
 Under roSs-examination by Dis- tric Attorney David H. Needy, Dr. Cutler said Elder might have" threatened Norton with "a good thrashing."
 Dr. Cutler denied that Norton reported seeing Elder and Miss Dill kissing" and embracing" and said the former cashier merely reported that Elder chuck" his secretary under the chin.
 However, Dr. Cutler could see 'very little" moral distinction be- tween a kiss and chuck"
 The investigation into the still unsolved shotgun murder of Head master Elliott Speer, Dr. Cutters successor, in 1884 was injected into the trial indirectly by Dr. Cutler.
 Letter from Elder
 He identified a letter produced by Needy as one he had received from Elder in 1885, when the Speer murder inquiry was at it's height. A postscript read into the court record said:
 T think I am not wrong in be- lieving that Mir. Norton has used the story about Miss Dill which he started under your (Cutler's) ad- ministration. That kind of gos- sip. contemptible as 1t is, nlay have found fertile ground in the gossip loving brains of the Investigators, and in certain types of minds at Mount Hermon."
 Though Dr. Cutler appeared as Q defense witness. Superior Judge Thomas ]. Hammond granted Keedy's request that Dr. Cutler be ordered to remain available as . state witness.

TRUCK OPERATORS ARE GIVEN BOOST

Hartford, Conn, July 27-(UP)- The state public utilities commits sion today ordered a substantial boost in the minimum amount of public liability insurance each of the 3,200 truck operators in Con- necticut must carry.
 The commission raised from $l0,- 900 to $15,00O the minimum of li- ability insurance for one death or bodily injury to one person. and from $20.O00 to s30.0O0 for death or bodily injury to more than one person in a single accident.
 No change was made in the mini- mum amount of property damage insurance. which remains at s5.000.
 The insurance increases were made to conform with action of the 1887 general assembly in raising from si0.000 to si5.000 the amount of damages which may be collected for death of c person in an acci- dent.
 The change will be effective August 2.

Upson Nominates Republicans At
 Independent Democrats Convention

the chair was that MT. Dillane was out of order inasmuch as the nominations for the nominating committee were closed.
 MT. Dillane had his moment later when all of the nominations of the nominating committee had drawn "ayes" no mays"
 T wish to offer a vote of thanks to the nominating committee" said MT. Dillane, flor 1t is the first I've ever known that has had Its nominees adopted unanimously
 Substitutions
 Which is indicative of the general harmony that prevailed throughout Masonic Temple throughout last evening. Here @ republican was dropped, there an independent democrat substituted. Names from non-political archives reached the eminence of the ticket and drew approbative responsive from groups gathered in racial clique-dom in the downstairs assembly.
 The right hand of the republican organization wrote, figuratively, with the fine script of party impulse upstairs while, still figuratively, the left hand frightened on frosting and crumbs as the joint ticket took on the semblance of a cake by many cooks.
 An observer would not say there was disgruntlement. He would not say there was an air of desperation And, finally, he would not be so trite as to remark the many cooks" who contributed to the ticket for which MT. Rowland called for volunteers from "all parties"
 But upstairs at Masonic Temple there were some republicans. Downstairs there were some inde- pendent democrats.

he was placed under arrest for car- rying the gun without permit.
 Lose Sight of One Eve

Attorney McGrath told the court that as result of the acid-throw- ing Dander will lose the sight of his right eye and a possible impair ment of vision of the left. Dander appeared in court today with colored glasses and pleaded guilty to the charge against him.
 Story Behind It All
 The story behind the acid -throw- ing, according to Attorney McGrath in court today, lies in a package left in the safe of Dander's tavern by man who later died. The man is said to have brought the package into the tavern and sought permis- sion to leave 1t there, which was granted. Later he became i'll and was taken to hospital, and while he was there, his wife is said to have come to the premises and de- manded the package, which con- tained money. Dander told her he had no right to give 1t to her, and then went to the hospital and told the man he should take the pack age and thereby relieve Dander of much trouble.
 Has Been Threatened
 Since that incident, 1t was said by Attorney McGrath, several employees of the unnamed woman have called upon Dander's tavern with the in- formation that she was going to 'get" him, and blind his family. No proof has been offered to these al- legations.
 Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers was of the opinion that Dander only carried the gun for protection and would have used it in no instance of aggression. Judge Mascolo agreed but also remembered that no matter what the unlicensed gun was for, it was no good reason.

LITTLE FAR FETCHED

st. Paul, Minn., July 27.-(UP)- Howard Y. Williams, national or uanizer for the Farmer-Labor Poli- Hcal Federation, said today that re- ports of a political understanding hetween John L. Lewis, head of the committee for industrial organiza- Hon and minority groups including williams organization, are "a little lar fetched"
 Although Williams said the de- eelopment of @ national third party Is a sure factor in coming elections he said nothing has been done be- gnnd conversations among inter- esfed parties. The issue, he said ernters largely on defeat Of the nolrt reorganization plan, supported hy congressional progressives.

troop clashes in the Peiping area.
 The cabinets statement of policy came after the speeches of key min- isters at the new spcial parliamnt session.
 Gen. Hajime Sugiyama, war min- ister attributed the Chinese situa- tion to rise of anti-Japanese senti- ment in China.
 Prince Fumimaro Konoye, pre- mier, expressed regret that the Chinese crisis followed immediately upon the recent dispute with the Russian Soviet Union over Man. chukuo-Siberian frontier clashes.
 He said that Japan sent troops to China solely to preserve the peace of the Far East and expressed hope that China by "self discipline" would permit a settlement.

BY FRANKLIN FARNHAM
 (DemOcrat Staff Man)

You went up in the elevator and there were some Republicans.
 You took the side door down. stairs and there were some Inde- pendent Democrats.
 But anywhere you went m Masonic Temple last night there were some conventions.
 Under the leadership of our candidate for mayor, George Gull hane, all of us welcome all from all parties to join us in this undertak- ing" Sherwood L. Rowland, re- publican and nominee of "all parties" for controller, told the in- dependent democrats and a few republicans who had waited to see MT. Culhane and his ticket escorted to the platform by J. Warren Up- son, republican town chairman.
 MT. Upson Leads
 Mrs. Culhane and the children had arrived. The nominations were closed and the republicans had deserted their upstairs tepees Veteran politicos from republican ranks whose eyes had witnessed many strange combinations, found stray chairs in Temple hall.
 MT. Culhane, white-suited and yellow-tied, was found by an ap- pointee committee of three inde- pendent democrats, out near the side" door. With MT. Upson and the entire ticket, from constables with names strange to Masonic portals to Francis T. Phillips, nominee projected by republicans for city treasurer, the somewhat unusual combination filed onto the platform.
 Out of deference to the republi- can strays, possibly, there were no wild Hear, hears" MT. Upson, seated to one side on the platform, applauded loudly as the principal candidates said their say. That is, read their says"
 Taking page from former President Herbert Hoover, MT. Gull hane, before proclaiming himself the foe of "the machine" announced that he would read his speech of acceptance so that he would mot be misquoted" MT. Rowland deferred to Mir Culhane in his place position on the speakers list by following suit.
 We'll Staged
 By the time the candidates from "all parties" were corraled onto the platform, nearly all groups had taken their fill of the rubber stamp routine, however. Possibly half of those present had inklings of what was to develop. The others had been well coached about their seconding of nominations. This was at the in- dependent democratic meeting, so- called
 Not SO well-organlzed were the three republican meetings in the rarer atmosphere of upstairs Masonic chambers. There were mutt ters that no good could develop from having the independent democrats holding forth in a building consecrated to republican precepts. There was fear that the meeting below would "blow its top" and, with @ couple of yards of re-
