WILL ORGANIZE TAX REFORM GROUP HERE Group of Property Owners to Form Association at Meet- ing Saturday © eeeee ayn eewers [ * . Organization of a group of Bur- ; fish county property holders into a ’ ‘leigh County Taxpayers associa- ~ tion is expected to be effected at a = meeting to be held at the court house Saturday, according to Martin Bour-| . gois, Bismarck, one of the organizers | > of movement. The association will be formed with an idea of studying ways and means of lessening the tax burden and with advocating economy meas- ures in the administration of govern- mental affairs, Bourgois said. 4 Inder the present plan, officers will be elected, a constitution and by- laws drawn up, and a preliminary campaign of action mapped out at . the meeting. - The local organization probably will become affiliated with the North Dakota Taxpayers association, pro- ponents of the movement said, and will cooperate with the state body j in attempts to bring about tax re- orm. Dr. R. R. Hogue, Linton, will be the principal speaker on the pro- gram, which is expected to include addresses by a number of Burleigh county residents. Any property holder in the coun- ty or any person interested in tax reform will be welcomed at the meet- ing, Bourgois said. Shanghai Is Placed Under Martial Law Following Disorder (Continued from page One) Hongkew and to have executed 20 of them. All Japanese residents of other quarters of the city were moved into Hongkew Sunday, where they were under the direct protection of Jap- ‘nese sailors and marines. Seventeen Japanese airplanes roared over the eo settlement during the iy All through the entire lower section of the Yangtze river valley a wave of apprehension spread. Scenes of the greatest confusion filled the streets of Hongkew and the important Nanking road when, with- out warning, they were spattered with ‘@ rain of bullets from rifles and ma- chine guns. A sniper’s shot brought a fierce burst of fire from uniformed Jap- anese patrols and thousand of people, panic-stricken, sought safety in a wild flight. In a few moments squads of steel-helmeted sailors and marines, with bayonets fixed, swarmed into the area, driving the Chinese before them. Many foreigners in the streets ‘were exposed to grave danger and the grounds of the Catholic General hos- | pital were swept by the rain of fire.| Most of those killed in these affrays were bystanders caught by stray | bullets. | 30,000 CHINESE TROOPS Hl ASSEMBLED AT NANKING Nanking, China, Feb, 1.—()—Thir- ty thousand of the finest troops in all China streamed into this city Mon- day and lined up along the riverfront where @ number of Japanese war- ships lay at anchor. i They barricaded themselves behind fortifications on the city wall and the situation grew tense while civilians moved back into safer ground. ,Many refugees who came only a féw days ago from Shanghai were so terrified at the menacing aspect of developments here they piled into British steamers bound back for Shanghai. Some of the Japanese ships put landing parties on the docks but there were no open hostilities. ‘The Japanese Consul general called on Low Wen-Kan, the Chinese for- eign minister, who remained behind _ When the seat of government was transferred last’ week to Honanfu. ‘The consvl lodged a formal protest against the fighting at Shanghai, charging that the Chinese started it. ‘The foreign minister retored that since the fighting began in Chinese territory the Japanese must have been the instigators. The conference ended without having accomplished ig substantial. A belief the impending arrival of additional American and _ British troops at Shanghai might yet avert a Chinese declaration of war upon Japan was expressed in informed quarters. The decision of the Nanking gov- ernment to issue a formal declaration of war, made last week before the government left Nanking and retired to Honanfu in the interior, was held| in abeyance, these sources said, to see how the situation at Shanghai de- veloped. The declaration, it was stat- | ed, might never have to be made if the arrival of American and British troops have a quieting effect and prepared the way for a settlement of the Shanghai dispute. 5,000 U.

Aboard his ships are about 2,000 blue-jackets who are not to be land- {ed, but he is taking 300 marines to: jreinforce Colonel R. 8. Hooker's regi- meni of 1,300. LONDON SYMPATHY FOR JAPAN COOLS London, Feb. 1.—(7)—Sympathy for Japan in London newspapers cooled considerably Monday following re- ports that thousands of foreigners in the international settlement at Shanghai were in danger. At the same time arrangements had been made by the government for the dispatch of additional troops from Hongkong to Shanghai aboard u British warship, The troops were or- dered in response to a request from Brigadier General George Fleming, British commander in the interna- tional settlement. The additional British troops or- dered to Shanghai are a battalion of infantry and a battery of artillery. The British already have a battalion of the Scots Fusiliers there, a battal- jon of Lincolns and a battalion of Wiltshire troops. Three British cruisers, one sloop and two gunboats are either at Shanghai or on the way there. A foreign office communtque said the decision to start reenforcements was made at a meeting at No. 10 Downing street participated in by Prime Minister MacDonald and other members of the cabinet. NAVAL CONSTRUCTION MIGHT BE INCREASED The conflict in China may cause a turnabout in congressional attitude and revival of the $600,000,000 plan to build up the American navy to the limit. Purely for reasons of economy, the nounced some time ago the big bulld- ing program, approved by its mem- bership, would go on the shelf. It was to stay there at least until after the Geneva disarmament conference. This decision has not affected the senate’s naval committee, whose chairman, Senator Hale (R. Maine), Plans to push similar legislation. Many members feel if the eastern situation becomes any, worse, the con- struction measure should be put through. More directly, however, the crisis is expected to bring a strong reaction against appropriation sub-committee efforts to slash officer and enlisted Personnel of the army in the war de- partment supply bill soon to be re- ported. U. S. ASIATIC FLEET SAILS FOR SHANGHAI Manila, Feb. 1—(#)—The cruiser Houston, flagship of the United States navy’s Asiatic fleet, and four destroy- 127s sailed Monday for China. The patrol vessel Isabel also sailed, and it was announced the destroyer tender Blackhawk would follow soon. Tuesday the transport Chaumont is expected to sail for Shanghai with 1,056 officers and men of the 31st in- fantry, carrying field equipment but no artillery. Three destroyers left here Monday | following four which sailed last Fri-| day, all generally assigned to the pro- | tection, in troubled Chinese areas, of American lives and property. ! Completion of the scheduled voy-/ craft will give the United States more | than a score of vessels in the Shang-! hai area, including the regular gun-/ boat patrol the navy maintains on the Yangtze river.
