BACK WITH OWNER
Trick Monkey, Hungry and Cold,
Found in Stolen
Trailer.

After spending one night at head
quarters and another at the Zoo, a
"jungle playboy" was restored to his
owner today by police, who found the
little animal half starved and shiver-
ing from the cold in a stolen trailer
near Bladensburg, Md, Tuesday night
The trick monkey belongs to
Thomas r. Mahaney, promotion man
for a motion picture concern, which
is showing films OF jungle animals
The monkey and a mate, which died
several days ago, had been used to
advertise the picture shows.
A big trailer containing a cage in
which the monkeys were housed was
stolen several weeks ago from Mr..
Mahaney and his partner. 1t was
taken from q downtown parking lot
and left at Bladensburg.
Police said they learned Of its loca-
ton after arresting Washington man
on a charge of selling and possessing
narcotics. They never learned, how
ever, who cared for the animals in
the weeks following the theft.
Police kept the monkey at headquar-
ters Tuesday night, and yesterday sent
him to the Zoo, where he went through
his tricks for Headkeeper w. H. Black
burne
The monkey and the stolen trailer
were returned to Mr.. Mahaney today.
Police at first were told that the owner
had left for California, but this was
found to be incorrect.
Mr.. Mahaney saw newspaper stories

The ohicer was not named, but au-

ported under way today in the House
Of Commons.
The plea, it was expected. would be

meanwhile has eased considerably.
Expect Quick Halt to Attacks.
Advocates Of the measure, who were
not grouped along party lines, con-
tended the feet reinforcement would
put a quick stop to attacks on British
ships-such as the Japanese attacks
Sunday on the Yangtze River gunboats
Ladybird and Bee and merchant craft.
The cabinet considered the question
of strengthening the China squadron
yesterday, but apparently decided to
withhold decision pending develop
ments.
The government. after delivering a
stiff protest to Toxic against the
Yangtze bombardment, watched close
ly the war scene in South China,
where Hongkong, the crown colony, Is
located.
No further diplomatic moves were
believed planned until Japan replies
to the strongly-worded note which
Britain dispatched yesterday. Con-
currently, Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden told the House of Commons Of
the danger to relations between Japan
and Britain.
Fear Danger Of Relations.
Mr.. Eden said the government, IN
the protest, wish to be assured that
action Is being taken Of such . char
acter as will definitely assure no repe-
tition Of these incidents. which, as
the Japanese government themselves
realize must impair relations between
the two countries"
The protest cited previous British
japanese incidents in China and con-
cluded:
TT is clear that steps hitherto
taken by the Japanese government
to prevent such attacks have so far
failed in that purpose, and His Majes-

The high school will convene at 8:45 and the grade school at 9:l5 o'clock as usual A full staff of teachers will be on hand to begin the work of the year.
 Circumstances beyond the con trol of school authorities have necessitated a weeks unschedul- ed delay in beginning instruction, September 20 was originally set for the opening date in order to permit teachers the opportunity of attending school during the summer. Available summer sch ools are all in the states. Few colleges offer courses which may be completed during the time Nome teachers are there during vacation. Only by airplane pas sage and unusual expense and haste may a Nome teacher secure summer schooling unless the op- ening of school awaits the Sep tember boat. Out of considera- tion for it's teaching staff whom it expects to maintain high edu- cational standards, the Nome School Board set September 10th for the opening of school
 It is pointed out that school in any year cuts into the working season, and that high school work CTS are assured the same number of working days as usual by the new plan.
 It is expected that school will close the first week in June as last year.
