had immediately rushed to her side.
The other officers had had the good
sense u maintain their posts by the
two exits.
Immediately, We lined the guests
up ON Cne side of the room 'phoned
headquarters for a matron to search
the ladies' and began TO go through
the men. We were confident that the
emeralds would be recovered, As far
as We could see there was no possible
means of conceaNng them.
Our search of the men proved
fruitless. And when the matron
arrived and had gone over the ladies
we began to feel a little worried. We
began a systematic search of the
room, We looked behind bookcases
and under flower pots and beneath
rugs. We removed pictures from walls
and opened drawers and tore down

After about an hour Of this the
guests began to get uneasy. At first
they had been frightened; now they
were SCOrnful They began to make
lnslnuating remarks, One bright
young man suggested that we call the
police.
TT WAS this young man who at

the evening. He had been drinking
heavily. His name was Sam Hill. He
had been a boyhood friend Of Miss
Rachal; was. at one time. her fiance.
But her two years IN France had

Sam HIS family had suffered flnan-

KANSAS CITY VOTE
PROBE TO BE ASKED
U. S. Attorney Will Appeal to
Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation for Quiz.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 23.-Maurice
M. Milligan, United States attorney,
announced today he would ask Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation agents to
examine evidence of an apparent at
tempt to pad Kansas City's new reg
istration rolls with fake names.
Federal Intervention was asked by
the bipartisan city election board,
appointed by Gov. Lloyd C. Stark af-
ter a Government purge of whole
sale voting frauds in the 1886 general
election.
The board suggested Federal prose-
cution under the same statute under
which more than $50 persons were in
dicted for vote frauds in November,
1886, general election here.
Approximately so persons were con-
victed of fraud in that election.
Chairman j. E. Woodmansee of the
board estimated, "conservatively," G, 900
questionable applications have been
received.
A handwriting expert was employed
by the board, which said numerous
applications appeared to be in the
same writing and to bear identical
dates and places of birth.
County Prosecutor w. w. Graves,
jr., shown such applications, said
there's no question attempts" have
been made to pad registration rolls
He indicated he would ask a county
grand jury inquiry.

Window washers pain Joseph Brown
severely.
He blames them for putting him in
the hospital and preventing him from
eluding police when trapped in a
Peoples drug store at 1929 Mount
Pleasant street NV. early today.
Clear sailing loomed for Brown, who
is %, colored, and lives at 1907 Third
street NV, when Officer j. w. Nally,
tenth precinct, started for him through
a rear door,
Sprinting the length of the store,
Brown thought it looked pretty easy
to make the street-which beckoned
plainly-and escape.
Just then the world crashed right
in his face. What looked like an OPEN
ing was a full-length plate-glass door,
shined to perfection.
The way Brown was going, probably
nothing else could have stopped him.
But, cut from the impact, which was
so great he left his outline clearly de-
fined in the glass, he was subdued
without difficulty by Officer w. 8
Kelly, who waited outside.
Now Brown is in Freedmen's Hos

cluding serious cuts to his thigh ano

FORMED IN NANKING
japanese Officials Announce Au.
tonomous Rule Replacing
Regime of Chang.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Dec. 23.-Japanese Of
ficials today announced the formation
of new autonomous government at
Marking, presumably replacing the
Chinese regime of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek, which fed from the
former capital q month ago.
autonomous commission" was headed
by Tao Hsi-shan, hitherto obscure,
described by his Japanese sponsors as
a 61-year-old philanthropist and head
of the Marking branch of the Red
Swastika Society-Chinese counter
part of the Red Cross-since Chinese
Japanese hostilities began. The vice
chairmen are Wang Chun-sheng and
Cheng Lang-po, both obscure Chinese.
The japanese Army announced the
capture of Marking December l3, and
Japan's highest army and navy COM.
manders in this area made q triumphal
entry four days later.
Recent Japanese military operations
on an arc west and north Of Marking
have been described as designed t6
prevent any Chinese counterattack
which would upset Japanese plans for
q new provisional regime at Nanking.
(Ten days. ago provisional
government Of China" was pro-
claimed under japanese auspices
at Peipipg, renamed Peking. It
aspired to be the government of all
China and raised the nve-barred
flag Of the Peking regimes which
ruled China before the nationalist
revolution of 1926-28. How the
Peking and Nanking regimes are
to be reconciled has not been made
clear.)
