Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic Washington, April 28.—(#)—The senate Friday rejected an amend- ment to the farm bill to give Presi- dent Roosevelt the optional power to pay the bonus with new money if the chief executive desires. The bonus amendment was reject- ed 60 to 28. The proposal was defeated after Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, warned the sen- ate that Presiderit Roosevelt was op- posed to attaching it to the inflation measure and would not use the power if it were provided.

Announcement Made As Con- ference Closes and French Start Homeward MONEY PROBLEM STUDIED Ground Covered in Discussion Is Outlined in White House Declaration ‘Washington, April 28—()—An un- derstanding between France and the United States on the problems of world economic recovery was an: nounced Friday by president Roose- velt and M. Herriot, the French en- voy. Their final joint statement referred almost completely to the economic phase of their discussions. “We have noted with deep satis- faction,” said the two statesmen, “that our two governments are look- ing with like purpose at the main Problems of the world and the ob- Jectives of the world economic con- ference.” nae M. Herriot departed for New York in the early afternoon, enroute to France: ‘The statement said in part: “We have examined in particular the manner in which commercial! policies should develop for the pur- pose of promoting rather than re- stricting international trade. “We have studied monetary prob- lems and the different methods pos- sible for a coordination of central bank policies; the remedies which may be brought forward to attack the menacing problem of unemploy- ment and the stagnation of business by ¢he execution of programs of jub-. lic works to be carried out by the dif- ferent governments by such meth-| ods as are within their means; the effects of the d ion on silver and the different methods proposed to improve its status. Questions Interrelated “The questions which are before) the world today are for the most} part, in our opinion. intimately “They constitute the separate ele- ments of a single problem, the sound! leader, told the senate that President Roosevelt is opposed to payment of the bonus now on the ground that it will defeat the purpose of the bill, the provision of funds to retire maturing obligations of the government. After turbulent debate Thursday, the senate voted approval of that sec-| tion of the inflation bill giving the president power to devaluate the dol-{ jar. The vote was 53 to 35 and came at the close of. a bitter fight.against it by Republican regulars. A final vote was near in the house Friday on the administration's home loan mortgage refinancing bill A flurry of debate was evoked by num- erous attempts to broaden its pro- visions, but leaders were confident the bill would go to the senate unchanged.

CHINESE CAPITAL BY FURIOUS OASLAUGHT Send Reinforcements Into Bat- tle Zone After Retreat From Lwan Area Tientsin, China, April 28—(—— Japanese reinforcements were being rushed into the battle line north of Peiping Friday, increasing apprenen- sion for that ancient Chinese capital! with its large foreign population. The action of the Japanese com- mand apparently explained the swift withdrawal of troops in the coast re- — to the Shih River, north of Chinwangtoa. Chinese leaders at first attributed the surprising retreat of the Japan- jese in the eastern area of north;convicted after their associates had | China to threatening trouble between the Japanese and Russians in Man- churia as a result of their dispute over operation of the Chinese Eastern rail- way. Now it appears the Japanese are ‘concentrating their attack in the west- stubborn Chinese resistance which has ‘stood fast during a week of the heav- jest Sino-Japanese fighting this year. On the eastern front the Chinese; re-occupation of the 55-mile stretch of the Peiping-Mukden railroad from the Lwan River to Chinwangtoa. The| seaport cities of Chinwangtoa and Peitaiho. the latter on a small branch road to the coast, were reported taken over Friday. The Chinese were advancing swift- ly on the heels of the Japanese as the latter voluntarily gave up mile after mile of territory which it had taken them the last two weeks to capture. There were no contacts reported between the forces as the Japanese and Manchukuan armies were carried batk toward Shanhaikwan and Shi- menchai, their bases along the great wall of China, by railroad. Both Chinese and Japanese reports have disclosed a heavy death toll in the week’s fighting in that region. ‘The Japanese reports said that near- ly 3,000 Chinese had been slain and admitted loss of at least 200 Japanese.

Martial law was declared by Gov. Herring. The mob of 100 men looped a rope around the neck of Judge Charles G. Bradley, yanked it until the jurist fell semiconscious, smeared him with grease, crowned him with a dirty hub- {cap from the truck in which they ab- ducted him from the courthouse, tore off his trousers and left him in the road with chafed neck and bleeding mouth after he had prayed for justice to all at their command. The jurist flatly and repeatedly re- fused the demand that he take an oath not to act on foreclosure suits. He was taken back to town, from the lonely cross road where he had been mistreated, in the car of a passing au- toist. Friday, he was recovering, say- ing he would not move for prosecution of his tormentors. The troops were ordered to LeMars by Gov. Clyde Herring on request of Sheriff Ralph Rippey, who was absent from town, he said, when the judge was abducted. { Last night he had no official infor- Came Here 54 Years Ago; Was|mation on the incident and no com- eS | paint from Judge Bradley. !
