NEW YORK VOTE
SCANDAL GROWS
Police Impound 5000 Addi.
ti0naI Ballots in Bronx
Boxes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-This city's
flrst proportional representation elec-
ton tally was fast developing into a
major vote fraud scandal as police
today impounded 5000 more ballots in
the Bronx.
The ballots seized brought the total
OF impounded ballots in the Bronx to
$500, or approximately per cent
OF the estimated vote cast there.
The seized ballots were allegedly
tampered with by the $1O-a-day spe-
cial canvassers, many of whom have
been the target of general charges of
dilatoriness and obstructionist tactics
to give "P. R." bad name. Todays
ballot seizure was ordered by Special
Assistant Attorney General Matthew
M. Levy and Acting District ATTORNEY
Sylvester Ryan of the Bronx. The
ballots will be submitted to the Bronx
grand jury in an investigation in
which four canvassers are already
under arrest.
The tally in the Bronx resumed to-
day despite the impounding of ballots,
through separate count of i'm
pounded ballots in the district attor-
ney'se headquarters set up in the
armory where the borough count is in
progress.
The count came to standstill yes
terday because the two borough direc-
tors decided the law would be violated
If the count were not conducted in the
prescribed order, impossible then by
reason Of the seizure of all the ballots
from certain districts.
Meantime, Samuel Seabury, vigorous
champion OF "P. r." blamed compli-
cations of the tally on "the bunglinr
Of machine politicians"

SHANGHAI, Nov. 10.-Japanese re-
Inducements landed on the south and
north shores of Hangchow Bay today
for what may become major drive
toward Marking. Chinas capital.
Chinese feared the reinforcements
would attack Hangchow as the first
step in Nanking drive, now that
Shanghai is in Japanese hands-except
for Nantao, native quarter in which
are remnants of the Chinese Army
which retreated from Shanghai yes
terday to defense lines further inland;
and the International Settlement and
the French Concession.
A few Chinese also were holding out
in Pootung, industrial center across the
Whangpoo from Shanghai. japanese
utilized airplane and artillery bonn
bardment today in an effort to drive
out the remaining Chinese.
U. S. Ships Endangered.
Many bombs fell along the Nantao
Whangpoo River water front, within q
few hundred yards of American and
other foreign war vessels anchored in
the river. =
Chinese said "a Japanese transports
already had arrived of the Chekiang
coast in the new Hangchow move,
carrying approximately $1,000 soldiers.
Capture of Hangchow would cut one
OF the two railroads now open between
Shanghai and the capital.
Chinese authorities declared the
government was confident that Chi
nese forces now being rushtd to Yuao
would be able to check the new Japa-
nese reinforcements.
Shanghai Battle Scene.
Shanghai Harbor. off the French
Concession, tonight was the scene of
a bitter machine gun battle between
Japanese war craft and Chinese troops
on both banks Of the Whangpoo.
At nightfall three japanese vessels
Joined the efforts of their land forces
to expel the Chinese from Nantao.
The shelling of the Shanghai suburb
was designed to drive out remnants of
the Chinese Army which retreated
yCSlCAudy.
The Japanese shells and bombs
probably took smaller toll of life
than might have been expected be-
cause of wholesale evacuation of civil
ians from Nantao within the last "a
hours.
Chinese soldiers near the French
Concession border indicated they had
no intention of withdrawing. Before
the aerial bombardment they had
withstood an attack by Japanese shock
troops and had declared they would
resist until death.
Planes ranging west of Shanghai
bombarded the airdrome area OF Nam
king, the nations capital. Some
Marking residents said they feared
q resumption of extended raids which
had been interrupted by Japanese in
tensification of the Shanghai CAM
paign.
Battle Across Creek.
A number of blocks to the west of
the Nantao region subjected to bonn
bardment, japanese and Chinese
troops engaged in spectacular, inde-
cisive battle across narrow, winding
Zahwei Creek before thousands of
spectators in the French Concession,
including American observers.
Comdr. Harvey Overesch, Maj. E. G.
Hagen and Capt. Evans Carlson saw
the battle from reserved seats in the
upper floors Of a Chinese teahouse at
the junction of Siccawei and Zahwei
Greeks. The nearest fighting was less
than so yards away.
There were reports that the Jap
anese planned to use Soochow Greek
to transport military supplies despite
the fact that it runs through Ameri-
can and British defense sectors.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Nov. 10.
Minister of Justice Francisco Cam
pos announced today that a new Bra
lillian constitution, designed to create
corporate state, had been promul-
gated.
Returning from meeting held at
the presidential palace, Campos said
the new constitution, to be published
later today, provided for dissolution
of the Senate and Chamber of Depu-
ties, as we'll as state legislatures and
municipal chambers.
Vargas on Radio Tonight.
He said President Getulio Vargas
would make broadcast to the nation
tonight.
(CampoS, sworn in only yester-
day as minister of justice and in
terior-politically the key post in
the Vargas cabinet-was the chief
collaboration in drafting the new
constitution. according to earlier
advices.)
1t was indicated, from information
available while the document was be-
ing drafted, that 1t would vest execu-
tive powers in a president with inde-
terminate term of Office, vest limited
legislative powers in corporate as
sembly" and give certain powers of
opinion to Council of experts or
elders"
There would be an executive cab
met, in part responsible to the Legis-
lature, but whose chief would be picked
by the President.
Under the old constitution. which
Itself had been in effect only since
1884, President Vargas could not have
been reelected. His present term of
Office expires May 8, 1888.
Tight Censorship in Effect.
The old constitution already was
partly in allegiance, due to a state-of-
war decree of October because of
alleged Communist danger to the ma
tion. Tight censorship went into ef-
feet with the. decree.
Campos, one of Brazil's newer states
men, came into national prominence
after the revolt of 1890, which was
headed by Vargas. Campos at that
time organized the October Legion" a
Khaki Shirt movement devoted to
safeguarding principles of the revo-
luton" To become minister of justice
and interior he left the post of secre-
tary of education in the city govern
ment Of Rio de Janeiro,

v. c. SHEPHERD
Held SUICIDE
Rites Today; Found With
Shotgun Charge in
Chest Sunday

William Cornelius Shepherd, So,
who resides near East Flat Rock,
comitted suicide on the road near
his home yesterday morning about
daylight by shooting himself over
the heart with a 12-guage shot
gun.
The body was found about 0
o'clock yesterday morning by a
son, Carval Shepherd, who lived
with his father. After an invest;-
cation, Coroner Bruce Cox stated
that the death was a suicide and
that no inquest would be neces-
sary.
Funeral services for Mr.. Shep-
herd will be held this afternoon
at a o'clock from Berea church,
with the Rev. Kuykendall officiat-
ing, and burial will follow in the
cemetery there.
Young Mr.. Shepherd said that
his father was in bed on Saturday
night when he returned home. He
reported hearing a shot about day
light, but did not hear his father
leave the house.
Apparently the man propped the
single barrel shotgun against a
tree and pulled the trigger with a
forked stick. The load entered his
body just above the heart and
death was probably instantaneous.
He was fully clothed when found.
Mr.. Shepherd made his home
with his son and a daughter. In
addition another daughter also sur
wives.

YARNELL FORWARDS
NOTE OF WARNING
By ROBERT BELLAIRE

Copyright, 1897, by United Press
SHANGHAI, Sept. 20. (UP)-
Admiral Harry Yarnell, United
States naval commander, warned
the Japanese today to avoid drop
ping bombs near United States
warships in their proposed aerial
destruction Of Marking, capital Of
China and home Of more than one
million people.
Yarnell sent a note to Vice Adj
miral Kiyoshi Hasewaga, japanese
naval commander, saying that as
long as Americans are in Marking
the gunboats Luzon and Guam
must remain there.
The note asked Hasewaga to is
sue instructions to Japanese naval
air forces to avoid dropping bombs
near vessels and to request the
Japanese army airplanes to OBJ
serve similar precautions.
Word from Marking was that
Nelson T. Johnson, American am
bassador, was arranging to move
his staff and other Americans re-
naming in Marking to the Luzon.
Japan today marshallcd q great
air fleet of between 200 and 300
warplanes to carry out threat to
destroy Marking. :,
Foreign nationals were warned
to clear out of the city, and the
terrified populacc began to bur-
row into dugouts while the gov
eminent made swift plans to re-
move the capital to Hankow or
Sianfu.
A terse note from the Japanese
naval commander, warning for
eigners to evacuate the city by
noon Tuesday, followed q l2-hour
aerial battle over a 100-mile area
along the Yangtse delta in which
observers estimated from go to
100 planes were engaged.
Japanese sources claimed they
had "wiped out" the Chinese air
force, shooting down 26 planes
and losing three Japanese planes.
The Chinese denied this, insist
ing only Is planes had taken part,
two being disabled. They said they
brought down FIVE Japanese planes:

URGES LEGION
Aid CAUSE OF
PEACE,LIBERTY
Governor Lehman Ais o
Stresses Racial Tolerance
in Welcome
CONVENTION LIKELY
TO FURTHER PEACE

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. (UP)-
The American Legion, opening its
1887 convention in NJ ad s o
Square Garden, today was exhort-
ed to strike for preservation of
peace and of religious and civil
liberty.
Gov. Herbert Lehman Of New
York welcomed the Legionnaires
by urging them to safeguard civil
liberty and religious and racial
tolerance.
The convention opened with
100000 persons present.
Tolerant, laughing policemen al
lowed the Legionnaires to take
possession of the city. Fife and
drum corps played as often and
as loudly as they wished; parad-
ers formed in a dozen sections of
the city and disbanded when the
marchers decided it was time to
eat or drink.
Business sessions opened at $50
o'clock when National Commander
Harry w. Colmery called the con-
vention to order. Gov. Lehman
and Mayor Fiorello H. la Guardia
were among those delivering well
coming addresses.
Men responsible for formulat-
ing Legion policies believe most
emphasis will be placed on an
anti-war declaration which prob
ably will be a threc-point pro-
gram:
/. adequate" neutrality legis-
lation, probably providing that
war materials be sold on a cash
and carry basis only and that they
be transported in foreign ships.
2. A universal service law in
time of war which would clamp
confscatory taxes on all profits
above a ceiling" set by the pres
ident.
3. Appropriations to assure the
maintenance of what the Legion
considers an army and navy capa-
BILE of repelling invasion.
Now that the bonus issue has
been settled. it seemed certain the
Legion would make no move to-
ward advocating a general pension
law for veterans.
Fun-making will reach its peak
Tuesday when an 1S-hour parade
will move up Fifth avenue, along
much the same route that the Le-
gionnaires took when they disem-
barked from transports after the
World war.
The $40 and S"-gayest branch
of the Legion-already has start
ed, however, and a score of trucks
disguised as locomotives are blow
ing their whistles on the busy
downtown corners.
