Although they are of a defensive nature, they are capable also of assuming the of- fensive.” Reports from the Japanese con- ulate at Harbin, Manchuria, said it was indicated the wreck of a Japan- ese troop train there last week, caus- ing the death of 14 men, as “the work of Russian communists,” although Positive proof was lacking. “Now that the Russians have com- pleted their troop concentrations in eastern Siberia we must expect such provocative incidents,” the foreign office spokesman said in making public the Harbin consul’s report. He said Japan was taking a much less alarming view of the situation, however, than the Soviet government. apparently did. “We don’t believe a clash is imminent,” he said, “and un- Jess Soviet Russia sends troops into Manchuria there is no reason to be alarmed. We certainly have no in- tention of attacking Russia and we do not believe Russia would be so rash as to challenge Japan.” “If provocative acts like the wreck last week were repeated, however, they undoubtedly would have serious consequences. It is idle to close our eyes to the fact that Russia is dis- Pleased with what has happened in North Manchuria, which is consider- ed in the Russian sphere of influ- ence.” bce rep en OEE |_AT THE MOVIES ~ a ere CAPITOL THEATRE A South-of-the-Border resort, where men are caballeros and girls are senoritas, is pictured with all of its romantic glamour in’ “Girl Crazy,” RKO-Radio’s all-star merry melange of mirth and melody, which comes to the Capitol Theatre tonight. This home of the clicking cast- anets, marimba bands, and gay fan- dangos, shares atmospheric appeal with @ western dude ranch as the background for the hilarious adven- tures of Bert Wheeler, Robert Wool- sey, Eddie Quillan, Mitzi Green, Dor- othy Lee, Arline Judge, Kitty Kelly, Lita Chevret, Stanley Fields and fifty beauties. Based upon the musical hit which ran for more than a year on Broad- way, “Girl Crazy” tells the story of @ city youth who goes western in a whoopee way by turning his father’s cattle ranch into a dude resort and bringing his bright light pals out to keep the rattlesnakes and cacti com- Pany. Quillan carries the boy role with Wheeler and Woolsey spakling as the city pals who make pikers of the range gunmen. The musical hits are all original compositions of George Gershwin, famous creator of modern melodies. William Seitzer directed. PARAMOUNT THEATRE Surpassing even the characteriza- tion of the young nobody from no- where in “Union Depot,” Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. brought to the screen of the Paramount Theatre last night @ just-revealed gift for satiric inter- pretation which adds another facet to the many he has already displayed. Keeping pace with the fastest-pacea motion picture your reviewer has seer. in too many moons, Fairbanks, Jr. flashes through the scenes of “It's Tough To Be Famous” with all the brilliance of a speeding comet. He has here a story which may very well have been tailor-made for him. It was an original for the screen by Mary McCall, Jr., originally known as “The Goldfish Bowl,” an intimation of a national hero's inability to have any more privacy than the proverbial fish in a goldfish bowl. Director Alfred E. Green also de- serves special mention for his adroit handling of the varied sequences, ranging all the way from the thrill- ing rescue from a submarine by way of torpedo tubes and divers to the comparative safety of a testimoniai banquet table. Green, who also di- rected Fairbanks’ previous picture, “Union Depot,” was director of “Smart Money.” Alleged Automobile Robber Brought Here Edward Streepy, Billings, Mont., was brought to Bismarck Saturday from Lemmon, 8. D., to face a charge of grand larceny of an automobile here. Arraigned before Police Magistrate Edward 8.

He is expected to plead guilty in district court. s Streepy has confessed to stealing an automobile belonging to J. A. Bar- ner, Bismarck, Friday evening, ac- cording to Police Chief Chris J. Martineson. The police chief said Streepy also admitted he stole license plates from a machine at Mandan and placed them on the Barner automobile. Streepy was arrested at Lemmon about 12:45 a. m. Saturday by the Lemmon police chief. who had been informed of the theft by local auth- orities, Larimore Debaters Meet in Semi-Finals Grand Forks, N.

THREE MEN SHOT IN OHIO MINE RIOTING Guardsmen Fire Into Crowd Which Attempts to Storm Barricade in Road Cadiz, ©., April 18—(#)—Three men were shot as guns of Ohio na- tional guardsmen protected mines in the eastern Ohio bituminous coal field Monday. The three, said to be striking min- ers, were wounded after a crowd of 400 twice stormed a barricade erected in @ road leading to the strike-ridden Somers mine of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber” company near Adena. The first time the crowd retreated after guardsmen fired into the ground, but the second assault was not stopped until three men fell, all shot in the legs. The assailants retreated and min- ers employed in the pit went to work as the soldiers stood on guard nearby. Two more guard strongholds were the scene of shootings Monday. One was the barricaded outpost on the Georgetown road, and the other on the Bucanwood road, not far away. An attempt to storm the second out- post was thwarted when the soldiers fired shots to scare the attackers. Guard officers reported the soldiers did not fire directly into the miners. They said the bullets were directed at the ground, and the three men were hit by deflected bullets. When the shooting started, the soldiers radioed word to headquarters here and reenforcements were rushed to the scene, The Somers mine has been a focal point of the strikers since the United Mine workers called a strike in the eastern Ohio field on April 1. In a disorder there last week, one strik- ing miner was killed and another wounded. The strike was called in protest against wage reduction, claimed by the union to approximate 25 per cent.
