Dr. William C. Judd, the suspéct’s husband, gave what authorities con- sidered an intimation of a change in the plans for a legal defense when he said, after visiting with his wife: “Her mind is wandering — she seemed to think she had been in her hospital room all last night.” In the county jail, Mrs. Judd was denied all visitors excepting her hus- band and her attorneys, Richard Can- tillon and Louis P. Russill. Cantillon was co-counsel for William Edward Hickman, murderer of Marion Par- ker, who was convicted and hanged. Hickman’s defense was that he was ilty by reason of insanity.” A ed and copyrighted story by Mrs. Judd which her husband gave the Los Angeles Times related that Mrs. Judd shot Miss Samuelson Sat- urday morning, October 17, in a scuf- fle over a pistol. She said she later killed Mrs. Le Roi when Mrs. Le Rot endeavored to strike her with an’ ironing board. A quarrel over the introduction of an unidentified “new nurse” to a mutual friend of the three principals, in the tragedy precipitated the scuf- fle for the pistol, according to Mrs. Judd, i Lloyd Andrews, county attorney of Maricopa county, Arizona, in which) Phoenix, scene of the double slaying, is located, said Mrs. Judd’s story was “preposterous.” ' In Andrews’ ion was a let-; ter allegedly written by Mrs. Judd to: her husband before her surrender Friday night which revealed a quar- rel over a man as the -notive for the slayings. The letter was found in a down-; town store where Mrs. Judd admit- ted hiding last Monday night short- ly after the bodies of the two slain women were found in trunks at the depot*here where they were sent from Phoenix. Plans were under way to extradite Mrs, Judd to Arizona.

Japanese Drive Deeper Into Manchurian Area Tokyo Dispatches Say League of Nations Appeal Will | | Be Ignored Tokyo, Oct. 26. — (F) — Japanese troops have spread deeper into Chi- nese territory in Manchuria following reports’of ‘attacks by Chinese bandits. General’ Honjo, commander of Jap- anse forces in the northern Chinese province, said the latest maneuver was to protect the Taonan-Chenchi- atun-Supingkai railway, built with money loaned by the Japanese-con- trolled South Manchurian railway. Honjo reported the Japanese line asked for protection on the Taonan railway. The troop movement start- ed Sunday. The general's report indicated about {1,000 bandits, many of whom are al- leged to be masquerading as Chinese troops, attacked stations near Chen- chiatun Friday and again on Satur- (day. They also attacked other sta- tions where Japanese have. property and other interests, Honjo said. Tokyo authorities said the Japanese interest in the Tagnan railway famunted to about $24,500,000. Government officials made clear that unless China agrees to protect Japanese nationals, Japan has no intention of accepting the League of Nations council's resolution calling for evacuation of Manchuria by the empire's troops by November 16. A spokesman said Japanese troops land citizens, as well as Japanese property in Manchuria, are in con- tant danger from bandit bands and marauding Chinese soldiers. Japan has signified its willingness to seek direct negotiations with China over the Manchurian controversy ‘f China will offer to assume the re- ‘sponsibility for policing districts in which Japanese reside or own prop- jerty. It was pointed out Sunday, however, that the prospects of arbi- tration were becoming increasing! difficult on account of the réorganza- China. =f Reject League Plan ‘The Japanese government issued a statement Monday saying that in view of the League of Nations coun- cil’s failure to obtain a unanimous vote on the resolution calling for evacuation of Japanese troops from Manchuria by Nov. 16, the action was not binding in any way whatever. Issued after a special meeting of the cabinet, the statement set forth that the attitude taken by Japan at, the time of the outbreak of troubie in Manchuria remained unaltered. It stressed Japan's five “funda- mental principles,” laid down by the Tokyo government last week as the terms.to which China would have to accede before withdrawal of Japanese troops from the occupied area coula begin.

Emmons county, seeking its fourth successive state corn championship, is expected to present one of its finest lexhibits. Emmons farmers, worried \by the possibility of losing the title because of the marked increased in- terest in corn in other counties as evidenced by many local corn shows, have mustered their best corn exhib- its to answer the threats from other districts. Missouri Slope counties in particu- lar are expected to display noteworthy exhibits. ’ E. M.

Mayo of Ro- chester, Minn., noted surgeon, believes. ‘ ‘The Jerusalem artichoke con- tains a sugar known «s levulose, twice as sweet as cane sugar, which is a dextrose, or “right- handed sugar.” Dr. H. A. Gortner, biochemist of. the University of Minnesota college of agriculture, backs up Dr. Mayo’s statement with the claim that Jerusalem artichokes have a yield as high as 400 bush- els to the acre. He believes that experiments to develop a commercial method of producing levulose or left-handed sugars from these plants might be ‘a great boon to the world, but, he admits, it might be hard on the cane and beet sugar people. Sugars are described as left or right-handed due to their beha- vior when tested by a plane of light. Light is directed through ¥ Jerusalem Artichoke Offers Farmer Opportunity to Raise His Own Sugar St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 26.—(7)— | sugar solution and on the screen it appears to be twisted like a spiral spring. ‘The plane of the light is then turned either to the right or left until the solution again permits & clear beam to pass through. If it must go to the right it is a dextrose, or right-handed; if to the left a levulose, or left- handed. Dr. Mayo contends that these sugars indicate the possibilities still remaining for science to pro- duce cheap foods for mankind. In ‘a recent interview he also expressed the opinion that arti- ficial building substances made from cornstalks and cotton and sugar-cane waste are due in the reasonably near future to take the place of lumber to such an extent that American forests will again have a chance to grow. “We can't afford to wait for | nature to produce an 80 or a 100- year growth of forest when a year’s crop of farm materials can be made to serve as the same | end,” he said. “This will be an- Cantillon, background. ‘As Trunk Slayer Surrendered The first picture of Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, trunk slayer, taken after her surrender to Los Angeles police, is shown above.

P. Goddard, secretary of the Community Chest. Goddard said a check-up Saturday night revealed that $7,150 had been pledged to the Community Chest movement and Cross fund. Committees expecting the largest contributions, including tiose can- vassing state employes and public school teachers, so far have made no reports and all other committees have made reports on only part of their work, Goddard said. The secretary expects most of the clean-up work to be completed this week. Miss Mary Cashel, secretary of the Burleigh county chapter of the Red Cross, said Monday that she had re- ceived no further reports over the week-end regarding the progress of the Red Cross drive in the county’s rural sections. Early reports last week indicated that the campaign was progressing as well as could be expected, Miss Cashel said. Burleigh county’s quota in the Red Cross relief drive is $13,300 while the Community Chest quota is approxi- mately $13,000. Ninteen committees, made up of members of the four service clubs here, began the drive in Bismarck last ‘Tuesday forenoon. Several other spe- work since the drive opened. Reports from committees expecting the largest contributions are expected in the next day or two, Goddard said.

A specific program of reduction was discussesd by the two leaders and now will be put to the test of practical application. The initiative is to be left to Ger- many, who is expected to ask soon for relief from her reparations. France is expected to agree provided the war debts are readjusted. The United States is ready to consider proposals for such @ readjustment. Neither Hoover nor Laval was in a definitely. Any curtailment of war debts owed to the United States must peel have the approval of con- ress, where the opposition is already Preparing to give battle. Both presi- dent and premier, however, rely ap- Parently on the force of circum- Stances and the appeal of economic betterment to carry the point. Only vague possibilities appeared that the war-debt cut would be ac- companied by that reduction of arm- aments so much desired by President Hoover. From first to last Premier remain armed until she has a guarantee of secuity. ed States would give question the premier did not even suggest it.

It was spon- sored jointly xy President Hoover and Premier Laval, ard most of Sunday was occupied in casting English and French official texts into thoroughly harmless diplomatic phrase. ‘The statement was almost com- pletely denuded of deails. It declared “real progress” had been made. It expressed a joint hope that the Feb- Tuary arms conference would “take advantage of the great opportunity.” and that the way had been paved to “helpful action.” Behind these general expressions of accord, however, lay the untold story of an interesting three days. Almost as soon as they came to- gether last Friday, the president and Premier Laval agreed the way to start talking economic recovery was by talking about relieving Germany. The Hoover debt holiday, under which the German reparations pay- ments are suspended for @ year, ex- Pires next June. It now is realized Germany will be little better able to pay next June than she was last June. Like Young Plan The French set great store by the Young plan adopted in 1929 for the regulation of these reparations. It has been held up as a French bulwark of uncommon importance. Leval in- sisted that if any change were made in the German reparations situation. it must be through the machinery al- ready established under this plan. In the Young plan is a provision that whenever Germany finds the burden too great to bear, she may . give ninety days’ notice and suspend payments temporarily. Automatical- ly, a non-governmental committee of seven, including one American named by the federal reserve system, would be set up to reassess Germany’s abil- ity to pay. This provision Germany is expected soon to invoke, and with the scaling down in German payments to the allies will come a reopening of the whole question of their debits to this country. Presumably President Hoo- ver will ask congress to author'-e American experts to reassess the abi!- ity of these debtors to meet their bills under the changed conditions. Laval left Washington early Mon- day for New York, where he will em- bark for France.
