ALCORN MAY ASK
 FOR OCTOBER 4
Will Appear Before Judge Simpson on Sept. l6
 to Seek Date

Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn will appear before Judge Err nest c. Simpson in Waterbury superior court, September 16, and ask that trial date be set for the 25 men who have pleaded not guilty of charges that they conspired to defraud the City of Waterbury of more than a million dollars, reliable authorities said today.
 It is considered probable that MT. Alcorn will ask Judge Simpson to set October 4 as the trial date. Judge Ernest A. Inglis refused to set a trial date yesterday when the accused entered their not-guilty pleas because he said he did not expect to preside at the trial.
 Will Appeal Delay
 There is still considerable quest ion as to whether or not the supreme court appeals in the quo warranto issue and the denial of the motion to inspect the grand jury minutes will delay the trial. No supreme court sessions will be con- ducted until October. Defense coun- sel, including Attorney Thomas F. McDonough and Attorney George Crawford, maintain that the trial should not start until the supreme court disposes of the questions.
 Pleas Yesterday
 Mayor T. Frank Hayes and g others pleaded not guilty to the conspiracy charges in superior court yesterday before Judge Inglis. At previous session, Attorney Ed ward G. Levy of New Haven and Attorney Charles E. Williamson of Darien also pleaded not guilty.

 Blodgett In News
 Blodgett recently came into the news when he demanded Governor Cross explain why, in view of heavy state revenues, he was obliged to cut 10 per cent from the budgets of state departments, agencies and institutions.
 Political observers wondered at this sudden emergence into the news by Blodgett, former state tax com missioner, who was not reappointed by Governor Cross in 1883.

 Well I don't know, it looks like it will be clear in New York Sunday. Perhaps it will clear up here then.
 "I don't understand why peo- pie who want to go away are staying in Hartford. It's not raining in Ohio, or up in New Hampshire.
 "When they get ready to go it will be raining at their des- tinati0n and clear here."

Demands Show Down on Question of Paying for
 Seized U. s. Lands
COURT OF INQUIRY
 HAS BEEN REQUESTED
Accuses Mexican Govt of Not Making Honest Effort
 to Pay for Property
BY HOBART c. MONTEE United Press Staff Correspondent

tUnited freSS Staff CorreSp0ndent)
 Washington, July p. - (UP) Secretary of State Cordell Hull demanded a showdown with Mexico to- day on the question of paying for appropriated land and oil properties that were owned by Americans. In a formal note handed to Mexican Ambassador Dr. Francisco Castillo Najera, Hull proposed that an international court of arbitra- tion be established to determine whether the Mexican government shall pay for the appropriated prop erty, how much shall be paid, and the terms of the payment. He made this proposal under the terms of a general treaty of arbitration signed at Washington in January, 1929, to which Mexico, the United States, and most other American republics are parties.
 Hull tacitly accused the Mexican government of having failed to make an honest effort to pay for seized property, and scolded the regime of President Lazaro Cardenas for jeopardizing not only the good neighbor policy of this government, but also the whole realm of amica- ble international relations.
 Deals With Farm Lands Specifically, his note dealt only with farm lands owned by U. &. citizens, which have been seized by the Mexican government since 1915. He said that some 16l moderate sized properties had been appropriated be- tween 1915 and 1927, and that not a single claim for these properties has yet been paid.
 Since 1927 additional properties, which Hull valued at total of $10,132 1888, have been seized. None of these has yet been paid for, he said.
 No mention was made of Ameri- can oil properties valued at ap- proximately $2OO,o00000, which were | appropriated last spring. Diplomats (Copfjpued m paOo Al

Russian Commissar, Jap Ambassador Indulge in
 Bitter RecriminatiOns
BY NORMAN B. DEUEL United Press Staff Correspondent

 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, July 9. = (UP) Russia awaited Japan's next move today in a new, grave diplomatic dispute, af- ter refusing firmly a Japa- nese demand that Russian soldiers evacuate a lonely hill in the Far East to which both nations claim title. It was indicated that the gov- ernment was determined to adhere to its stand despite a re- mark by Mammoru Shigemitsu, Jap- anese ambassador, to Foreign Com missar Maxim Litvinov, which was interpreted as hint that Japan might seek to eject the Russians forcefully from the disputed hill. Shigemitsu, returning hurriediy al the orders of his government from vacation abroad, saw Litvinov Wednesday. News of the visit, and the serious stage which the incl dent had reached, was announced last night in a long official com- munique. It was not until this morning when they read their newspapers, that Russian people realized that the recurrent tension in relations with Japan had been intensified to high degree.
 Delicacy of Situation
 The delicacy of this new disagree. ment between Japan and Russia was shown plainly by the exchanges be- tween Litvinov and Shigemitsu as

Lost. in the vicinity Seventh and
F streets SW., lady's pocketbook, con-
tanning $3.50. prayer book. prayer
beads ="
The purse belonged to Mrs. Nellie
Ryan. The money was the remains
Of relief check she had received to
feed seven children.
Sunday was black day for Mrs
Ryan. She lost her pocketbook that
day when she left her home at 478
E street S.W to visit drug store for
some cough medicine for the children.
Some of them (they range in age from
to 16) had begun to sniffle and cough
now and then.
Mrs. Ryan had been having hard
time long before the loss of her money.
Her husband, Edward Eugene Ryan,
World War veteran and cab driver,
was taken to Walter Reed Hospital
more than a month ago suffering from
arthritis.
Her eldest child, Catherine, II, was
critically injured in an automobile ac-
cident month earlier, and still is in
Providence Hospital recovering from
broken spine and internal injuries.
But Mrs. Ryan was managing to
make 60 Of things on the money
given her by the relief agency. She
said, however, that when she lost the
$3.50. prayer beads and prayer book
she felt as if she had gone to the end
Of the road.
For the first time my nerves SIM
ply cried out" she said yesterday in
the almost barren living room of the
little house where she and the seven
children have lived on pancakes and
oatmeal since Sunday.
Il wanted to advertise in the paper
because I knew if the person who
found the money knew how much we
needed it, the purse would be re-
turned" she stated. But, YOU see. I
didn't even have the money to pay
for an ad."
