2 COOK COUNTY LEGAL PAUPER; FAILED T0' ADOPT 1932 BUDGET, Commissioners Also Unable to Act on Salary Cuts or Employes Dismissal Chicago, Mar. 1—(4)—Cook county was @ legal pauper Tuesday because its commissioners had failed to adopt & budget for 1932 by midnight Mon- day, the deadline under the Illinois statutes. j For several hours the commission- ers wrangled over the economy fea- tures of @ $32,000,000 estimate of ex-} penditures and when the clock struck 12, nothing had been accomplished, not even a vote on dismissal of em- Ployes, salary cuts or other retrench- ments to ease the financial difficulties that followed failure of the state legislature to enact revenue rel Earlier in the evening County At-| torney Hayden Bell warned the coun- | ty board if the budget were not passed | there would be no funds with which | to operate and Emmett J. Whealan, president of the board, served notice he would order all appointed depart- ment heads to conduct their func- tions on the basis of the economy budget. As for the elected heads, Whealan said, they could do as they pleased but the responsibility would be theirs alone. Perplexed by the board's at- titude, the president had called Mayor Anton Cermak at Hot Springs, Ark., and asked for advice. Cermak is vacationing there to relax from the rigors of a fight to restore the city’s credit it. Earlier in the day the county board ‘was one of the eight major governing bodies of Cook county who promised @ civic committee trying to sell tax warrants they would confine their 1932 expenditures to the actual rev- enues from taxes in 1929 plus funds now on hand, an aggregate of $180,- 000,000 and a budget reduction from last year of about $80,000,000. Meantime, 18,000 school teachers, who have received only two months cash pay in the last 10 months, and 4,000 other city school employes, were paid in cash Tuesday for the firs: two weeks in November—a payroll of $2,566,000 made possible through sale of tax anticipation warrants to a loop bank. Conference to Be ; Held at Shanghai Approved in Tokyo (Continued from pege One) by Joseph Paul-Boncour, French del- egate at the League of Nations coun- cil at Geneva yesterday, were ac- cepted by the Japanese government today. ‘Th proposals of M. Boncour, which ealled for a conference of the powers at Shanghai, with representatives of China and Japan, also were accepted by Admiral Osumi and Gen. Araki, heads of the war and navy depart- ments at a conference with Foreign Minister Kenkichi Yoshizawa. They were reported to Tokyo by Naotake Sato, Japanese representa- tive at the League of Nations, by cablegram. The government was un- derstood to have interpreted M. Paul- Boncour’s suggestions as meaning a conference at Shanghai, covering a long period of time, would be likely and that the conference would seek a permanent solution of the problem there. It was understood instructions would be sent to M. Sato advising him to accept the Paul Boncour pro- In government circles, however, it ‘was asserted the conferences at Shanghai seemed to be making very little progress toward arranging for a cessation of hostilities and a spokes- man referred to the communique published here announcing a general Chinese retreat, intimating the Ja- panese army was likely to clear the 12%-mile zone of Chinese troops be- fore any arrangement could be nego- tiated. ENTIRE CHINESE LINE REPORTED DRIVEN BACK (Copyright, 1932, By The A. P.) Shanghai, March 1.—()—Japan- ese officials claimed late this after- noon the entire Chinese line, from ‘Chapei northward through the west- ern environs of Kiangwan to Miao- changchen, was driven back by their forces in the most terrific battle the | Shanghai front has seen. Backed up by 12,000 reinforcements landed during the last 36 hours, the Japanese early today began a trem- endous assault along the whole front. ‘They “used artillery, airplanes, ma- chine guns, and a squadron of tanks in the tremendous push, which Tokyo expected to defeat the Chinese soon- er than League of Nations peace pro-| posals could become operative. | Blow Up Near Ships j A terrific explosion which shook the entire city of Shanghai without being clearly heard took place when two mines blew up near two Japan- ese warships in the Whangpoo river. fury unknown heretofore in the con-} flict, their tanks dashing backward and forward like maddened monsters. They said they had achieved an ad-| vance of more than a mile. ‘The claim was made from the new- ly-established headquarters of Gen- eral Yoshinori Shirakawa. Late tonight the Soars of THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1932 THE GREEKS HAD A GARB FOR IT S) Out in Los Angeles, home of the movie bathing beauty, they had a trial over the costumes of Lysistrata, Greek Suffragist, whose exploits were written up in stage play form. In the Pacific coast metropolis they arrested 58 actors and actresses, including the producer. On the left, in picture above, Policewoman Mary Ross is explain- ing to judge and jury details of the costume in the p!ay “Lysistrata,” worn by Dorothy Jackson. On the right is shown a typical Santa Monica bathing suit. Santa Monica is a Pacific ocean suburb of Los Angeles where all the movie colony goes. Lysistrata’s gossamer garb, designed to keep the soldiers at home, was under fire, but as no one had ever censored the scant beach costumes, which, in the movie zone, are rather al fresco, the jury of one man and 11, women decide d that Lysistrata’s costume was all right, too. (HAZELTON-HARVEY JOIN IN FIGHT T0 KEEP CAPITAL HER Adopt Resolutions Favoring Bis- marck; Local Legion Post Also Active Organizations of businessmen at, Harvey and Hazelton have joined in the fight to keep the capital at Bis- marck, according to information re- ceived here by the capital defense committee. The Hazelton resolution charged Jamestown with making “many mis- leading statements” in its campaign while the Harvey resolution was passed “to let tHe world know how Harvey®feels about capital removal.” The Bismarck post of the Ameri- can Legion also has entered the bat- tle with a resolution which is being circulated to all Legion posts in the state. Minutes of the Harvey Commer- cial association, copies of which were sent here, show that the removal amendment was discussed at the meetng held February 23. On mo- tion of Judge Aloys Wartner, second- ed by August Peterson. the club was asked to “go on record as favoring Bismarck’s location.” Each of the 51 members present supported the pro- Posal. The text of the Hazelton resolu- tion, adopted February 25, follows: What Hazelton Says “Whereas, it seems that Jamestown is making many misleading state- ments to the citizens of the state in asking for support for the removal of the capital from Bismarck to James- town, trying to create the impression that it would be a saving to the citi- zens and taxpayers of the state to have the capital at Jamestown, and “Whereas, in fact such @ removal of the capital would cost the taxpay- ers a large sum of money in the loss of property already owned by the state and which will be used by the state by continuing the capital at Bismarck, and that Bismarck is far more favorably located from the standpoint of railroads leading into the city than Jamestown is, and “Whereas, the sponsors of the re- them of being connected with the explosion. AS a result of these developments it seemed lkely the Japanese battle- front would be extended to include the surface and the depths of the ‘Whangpoo, which yesterday was de- clared international water, following @ request of the powers the flagship idzumo be removed from there. FORM BOYCOTT BODY New York, March 1.—?)—Forma- tion of the Amerioan Boycott asso- ciation, to set up a country-wide, non-governmental boycott against Japan in the hope of effecting ar- bitration in the Sino-Japanese crisis, was announced Tuesday.

But there’s a hitch to it. For Marie claims that a good dramatic role allows plenty of room for real, natural humor. Her new starring picture, “Emma” is a typical example of what Marie is afforded in “Lady With a Past,” Constance Bennett's new contribution to the screen. The picture opened last night at the Capitol Theatre. with a new characterization refresh- ingly different from those she has been given in her recent films; and it is one in which she is entirely at home. Her role is that of a young New York society girl who blossoms forth from a shy wallflower into a dazzling charmer under the influ- ence of Paris and expert masculine tutelage. Not only does the part fit Miss Bennett perfectly but it gives her an| ‘opportunity to display the ultimate in chic gowns and wardrobe accessories Feminine film fans are going to love this one for the fashion show it af-; fords, alone. ‘The appeal of the production is far from being limited to the eye, how- ever, despite the loveliness of the star and her wardrobe.

The story is a dra- matic one, abounding in situations which bring forth her fine emotional talents, But, in truth, there are many more comic situations in “Emma” than serious one. And Marie simply loves to make you shed an unabashed tear one moment and laugh heartily the next. This same paradoxical sit- uation existed in one of Miss Dress- Jer’s recent hits, “Min and Bill,” for which she won the academy award for the finest performance of an ac- tress for 1931.
