INTERCEPTED WHEN
WOMAN BEING BEATEN

SHANGHAI, Jan. 8. (UPl-
French and japanese soldiers to-
day faced each other at bayonet
point on the boundary of the
French concession in what perhaps
was the most dangerous incident
since the Japanese began their
vigorous bid for domination Of
Shanghai.
The incident occurred while In
ternational Settlement authorit es
were protesting the beating of
four British policemen by the Jap
anese on the settlement boundary.
Today's clash was caused by the
beating of a Russian member of
the French concession volunteer
corps.
= A Japanese soldier crossed the
boundary to beat a Chinese wo-
man who was drawing water at q
pump. The Russian tried to pro-
tect the woman. Fifteen japanese
knocked down the Russian and
tried to drag him across the bour-
Diary but the Russian whistled and
other volunteers came, then the
officers of both sides, and the stu
alton became more tense. After
some arguing the armed men on
both sides withdrew and the Incl
dent was settled for the time be-
ing.

South's Aid May End Wage-Hour Deadlock
I'll. DURHAM FAVORS NEXT
AUTUMN FOR COUNTY'S
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
County Board May Take
Initiative in Setting
Observance Dates

The proposal that Henderson
county observe its centennial this
year will be considered at an early
meeting of the board of county
commissioners, T. /. Durham,
chairman. said today, with the
possible result that a day or week
may be designateI for the cele-
bration.
Mr.. Durham said he personally
favored holding the celebration
next fall, provided of course it is
decided to give official recogni-
ton to the Tooth anniversary of
the county's organization. He in
dictated that the county board
might adopt a resolution officially
designating the time for the cele-
bration and then cooperate with
a local civic agency, probably the
Hendersonville chamber of COM
merce, in planning and carrying
out the details of the event.
In support of his belief that
autumn would be the most favor
able period in which to hold such
celebration, Mr.. Durham point
ed out that it would be nearer the
date when the organization of the
county was authorized by the state
legislature, that it would be in the.
season of crop harvesting, that the
tourist season would be out of the
way, and that al county as we'll
as city schools would be in session,
thus enabling School officials to
plan events in the schools that
would familiarize pupils with the
history of their county.
Mrs. Sadie S. Patton, historian
and writer, has disclosed that the
legislative act authorizing the or
ganization of Henderson county,
whose territory then was part of
Buncombe county, was ratified on
December Ia, 1888, and that the
act setting up a commission and
court to organize this county was
ratified on December % of the
same year. Because of certain
litigation the county was not &C
tually established until some time
later, but the date when the legls-
lature ratified the act authorizing
the organization of the county IS
generally accepted as its birth
day"

65. 600 RELIEF CLIENTS in OHIO
6DAYS WITHOUT FOOD ORDERS
Cleveland Mayor Absolves
u. S. Government; Lays
Delay to State

CLEVELAND, Jan. 8. (UP)-
Mayor Harold H. Burton last
night explained the situation in
Cleveland during which $4,000
relief clients went without food
and clothing orders for six days.
In a statement on "facts of the
relief situation in Cleveland"
Burton said:
"The federal government has at
all times met or exceeded its obi
cations to provide work relief in
Cleveland.
"The difficulty during the first
six days in January was due sole
ly to the inexcusable failure of
the state of Ohio to heed the re-
peated warnings of the industrial
cities of the need for enactment
of a state relief act before the
end of 1887. =.
"The state senate took action
on January 5 and the local relief
orders were mailed January 6.
"In the meantime, one suicide
was traced directly to the delay
and there was hardship suffered.
The suffering, however, was large
ly met by the extension of addi-
tional credit by friendly grocers
and landlords in anticipation OF
the delayed state action.
"The relief situation is now be-
ing met in accordance with the
new act"
Delivery of food and clothing
orders in the mail yesterday end
ed sitdown demonstrations in four
district relief offices.

4 BRITISH POLICEMEN
ARE NOW BEATEN

Copyright, 1888, by United Press
SHANGHAI, Jan. 8.-(UP)-
British and Japanese authorities
clashed in Shanghai today over the
alleged beating of two British po-
licemen by japanese soldiers, while
in North China Chinese troops
were reported burning and wreck
ing in accordance with the COM
munist "scorched earth" policy.
Retreating steadily before the
three-pronged Japanese drive thru
Shantung province, the Chinese
were said to have destroyed all
construction works in the harbor
of Haichow. The new Lenyen har-
Dor works. which Chinese once
hoped would make Haichow the
leading port of China, replacing
Shanghai, were reported to have
been blown up.
Most of the fighting on the Chi
nese side In North China was be-
ing done by guerilla troops, adopt
ing communist tactics in severing
Japanese lines of communication
and attacking isolated forces.
The latest "incident" involving
Britons in Shanghai resulted from
the alleged attack on A. Turner
and F. G. West, British policemen
stationed in the International Set
Element. British authorities re-
ported that the japanese sold ers
invaded the British zone and
slugged both men after they re-
marked about the unnecessary
rough handling several Chinese
coolies were receiving at the
hands Of the Japanese.
British military Headquarters Of
Mai. Gen. A. P. D. Telfer-Smol-
lett, commander-in-chief Of the
British forces at Shanghai, pro-
tested to the Japanese authorities,
warning them to withdraw their
soldiers from the British defen2e
zone, and the japanese complied.
1t was understood that the munich
pal police were planning further
protest.
Thursday, settlement municipal
police protested to japanese au-
thorities against the alleged maui
ing of two other British police
men, G. ]. Bennett and J. Sinclair
at the Japanese naval landing
barracks on Christmas.
