 BE SANCTIONED
.(Acne)

Vatican City, Jan. 28.-(UP)- Officias of the sacred Roman Rota of the Roman Cathoic church said today that it was ''very unlikely" that the church would sanction the marriage to King Fog of Albania to Countess Geraldine Apponyi be- cause the bacheor king is a Mos lem.
 The officias of the Rota, which has jurisdiction in eccesiastical cases, said that as yet no arrange ment had been made for church approval.
 It was not known whether the 22-year cd Catholic countess would forego a Catholic ceremony for a civil marriage which the church would not recognize.
 The church possibly would agree to marry the couple provided King Fog agrees that any children they may have be reared as Catholics, it was suggested.

MINERS ARE OUT
 FOR ROOSEVELT

Washington, Jn. 28-(UP)-Rep. James H. Gildea, (O Pa, today urged applauding delegates at the United Mine Workers convention to draft President Roosevelt for a third term. Commenting the dele gates for submitting eight resolu- tions urging MT.

 Labor sees in Roosevelt an eX- republication of the ideal of better wage security for the man who works" Gildea said. Tn suggesting Roosevelt for a third term the miners are giving material evidence that this wage consciousness will be felt in American public life" He Praised John L. Lewis, UMWA pres idet and chairman of the Commit tee for Industrial Organization, as the outstanding labor leader of oul time"

Foreclosure Motion Re- wives Memories of WOlcOtt's Twin Mur-
 der, Man=Hunt

Like a ghost of former years, the name and memory of John Crow were flashed wildly before the minds of local residents today, when the Town of Wolcott was granted foreclosure judgment against him in the court of con- mon pleas.
 Date Set
 Judge Miles F. McNiff handed down the judgment, which holds that Crow is indebted to the Town of Wolcott to the extent of $679.64, and that unless that amount is paid by April 12, 1888, title to the property will revert to the Town of Wolcott.
 There is little possibility that Crow will return to redeem his in- terest in the property. If he should he would receive a warm welcome, for he has been wanted by police since Sunday, June 24, 1884, when he shot and killed two of his neighborS, Clarence YuSklS and Julius KarvauSkas.
 The property consists of 75 acres of land, and a shack, which repre- Sents the place where Crow made his abode until the murderous day. when he became a killer and a fugitive from justice. Not sign of him has been seen since he eluded the most detailed man. hunt ever staged in this vicinity.
 John H. Mccormack of Wolcott also has an interest in the prop erty, according to the court rec ords. The law day for redemption of his interest was set as April l3, 1898.

This was 8 big disappointment to those who had looked for immediate outlay of vast amounts for armament.

JAP ANESE LINER IS WELL GUARDED.
Police Search All Piers in San Francisco for Any
 Hidden Bombs

San Francisco, January 28.- (UP) - A strong guard was placed on the waterfront today where a Japanese liner was docked and other ships were being loaded with cotton for shipment to the Orient.
 Police searched the piers for bombs and they understood that federal authorities had received some warning of plot to destroy Japan-bound ship. Five Coast Guard cutters patroled the bay, cruising close to shore; the customs guard ashore was doubled; the force of private detectives guarding the piers was increased to three times Its regular number and all ap- breaches to the Taiyo Maru were closed.
 The liner arrived yesterday from Japan carrying 158 passengers, and as soon as she passed the Golden Gate, the guards rushed into action. Pier 25, where the Nippon Yusen KaiSha liner was headed, was searched for explosives by city police.
 Secretive On Guard
 Customs officers were secretiVe about the guard. Police believed that they were acting under instruc- tions from Washington, but treas ury and customs officials there said western authorities apparently had acted independently, as they had DO knowledge of any such orders.
 The Taiyo Maru carried several Japanese dignataries who will make addresses in this country on the Chinese war. It was recalled that several months ago, when a party of eminent Japanese arrived from Tokyo, there was a crowd Of 600 Chinese and Whites gathered at the pier for a demonstration against the bombing of Chinese cities.

Geneva, Jan. 29-(UP)-A tenta- tive plan to aid China against Japan, and to seek United States CO., operation, was agreed upon tonight by British, French and Russian del- egates to the meeting of the council of the League of Nations.
 Delegates hesitated to divulge de- tails of the plan but well informed circles believed that it comprised arms and credit for China and pos sibly an oil embargo and finan- cial boycott against Japan.
 We have not yet approached Washington one of the delegates told the United Press, but indi- cated that this would be done shortly. Another delegate said that although an agreement had been reached it must be approved by Premier Camille Chautemps, of France.
 Delegates of Britain, France, Rus sia and China will speak at the council meeting Monday. Discus sion will be closed with resolution which will contain a hint of the four power agreement if Paris ap- proves it and Washington responds favorably.
 KOo Demands Rights
 It was confirmed that V. K. We'll ington Koo, chief Chinese delegate, demanded imposition of League sanctions against Japan when the secret meeting began today. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, of Great Britain, and Foreign Minister Won Delbos of France, countered with the suggestion that aid be given China outside the League.
 That was what the Chinese really were aiming to obtain since they believe they could prolong the war into statemate if they receive sup plies.
 The Chinese admitted that Russia has been sending large quantities of material to China but felt that Great Britain has not supplied her share although the British have al-
