STOCK CONTROL BILL |MONROE DOCTRINE After Review of Much- Revised Measure | .-Waststngton; Aghrt-20—(PEps rel vised stock market control bill was ap- Proved by the senate banking commit- tee Friday, 11 to 8, culminating a two- year investigation of Wall Street prac- tices and weeks of conflict over pro- visions of the measure. The bill was reported to the sen- ate in a form which Ferdinand Pe- cora, committee counsel, said had plenty of “teeth” to prevent repeti- tion of the practices he uncovered during the long inquiry into market operations. The close vote by which the bill was finally approved was in line with the sharply divided committee senti- ment which has resulted in half a dozen revisions. With President Roosevelt's support, of! early consideration of the bill in the senate was assured. Meanwhile, the house interstate commerce committee approved the P| section in the regulation bill outlining the legislation’s policy, which was stricken out by the senate banking committee. ‘The declaration of policy is designed to meet the question of constitution- days.

IS GIVEN APPROVAL | FOR ASIA SEEN IN BY COMMITTEE 11-8; JAPANESE WARNING -|‘Plenty of Teeth’ Says Pecora| Mention of Force as Means of Preventing ‘Meddling’ Causes Surprise «_cclily the Assceisted .Press): ‘The Japanese warning to the:world to keep its hands off China was con- strued in various occidental capitals a8 a “Monroe Doctrine for Asia.” Japan issued warning that while she had no objection to other nations giv- ing financial and technical assistance to China, such assistance almost in- evitably leads to political meddling and ,henceforth, Japan will see to it, by force if necessary, that there is no meddling in China. The response everywhere was im- mediate. The authoritative reaction in Lon- don was that Great Britain will fol- low the lead of the United States jn expressing a stand on the matter. Ambassador Saito informed Wash- ington he would give it an official ver- sion of the text of the Japanese decla- ration and state department officials remained silent pending its arrival. It was understood in Geneva that Japan would repeat its warning di- rectly to the league of nations which, with the United States, will discuss a plan for Chinese assistance next month. In Paris the opinion was expressed that the Japanese stand might mean an end to the “open-door” in China. In Rome it was suggested that Euro- pean nations should present a united front to Japan on the question, bury- ing thelr own differences in view of the Japanese attitude. ENGLAND WILL FOLLOW UNITED STATES’ LEAD London, April 20.—(?)—Authorita- tive sources said Friday that Great Britain would expect the United States to take the responsibility for initiating any retaliation or protest against Japan’s announced intention {o, Berdloinate in China's foreign re- 4] Britain which would take on official form. Any American proposals for united action by other powers to counteract the Japanese policy in the far east would be given consideration by Great Britain, it was stated, but it was added GUNMAN SLAIN, BOY INJURED AS POLICE FIGHT WITH THUGS Two Desperadoes Held as Au- tomobile Crash Climaxes Running Gun Battle YOUTH IS INNOCENT VICTIM Struck in Abdomen by Stray Bullet as Automobiles Race in Streets Lincoln, Neb., April 20.—(4)—One gunman was killed, another wound- ed and a 14-year-old schoolboy was near death Friday afternoon as the result of a running gunfight between Police and gunmen on Lincoln's prin- cipal street. After a 10-mile chase, the gunmen's automobile overturned near Prairie Home east of here, killing one of the men and injuring another. Police arrested the two survivors and brought them to the police sta- tion here. Officers said one of the men gave his name as Sam Rivitt, 29. Names of the others were not learned immed- jately. The schoolboy, Luceen Marshall, was struck in the abdomen by a stray bullet as the two automobiles raced through the streets. Physicians hold little hope for his recovery. The wounded gunman told police he was Walter Dean, 28, of Beaver City, Okla., a farmer. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds. Officer Frank Robbins and his partner, Volvott Condit, son of Po- lice Chief W. C. Condit, spotted the gunmen near Eighteenth and O Streets and halted to question them. When Robbins started to walk to the car, & shot was fired and the automo- bile swung way from the curb and headed east down O Street. Robbins climbed back into the car with Con- dit and the chase was on. More shots were fired from the gunmen’s car as it raced through the traffic towards the residential dis- trict. The wounded boy, on his way to school after eating lunch at home, was picked up by @ passing motorist and taken to a hospital.

EXPECT SHOWDOWN ON DISARMAMENT AT GENEVA MAY 23 Representatives of Nations to Gather Then for Discus- sion of Old Issue (Copyright, 1934, by The Associated Press) Geneva, April 20—(#)—League of Nations circles forecast Friday a dramatic showdown on disarmament on May 23. That is the date when representa- tives of the nations in the world dis- armament conference will return to Geneva in full session to attempt to catch and pull together the flying strings of the many-sided problem of arms control. There are even unconfirmed ru- mors that France may insist upon an investigation of German armament be- fore consenting to negotiate any sort of a disarmament treaty. But the differences of France, Ger- many and Great Britain form but one section of the problem as a whole. Friday a tendency was seen in Ge- neva to link what one official called the “disturbed” disarmament situa- tion with developments in the Far East growing out of the newly-stated Japanese policy that western powers must keep hands off China. Some progress was seen by well- informed sources here in the British “white paper” revelation at London Thursday that Germany had ex- pressed a willingness to postpone re- ductions of armaments by other pow- ers for five years. May Appease France This stand, taken in a previously unrevealed note to Great Britain, it was stated here, may reduce the ap- prehensions of France regarding Gar-: many’s arms — apprehensions which ted her to state flatly that there could be no further hope of bilateral agreements with the Reich operating under a budget granting increases for military purposes. Germany's insistence upon defense Britain, was generally expected in Geneva. France, it was declared here, re- fuses to accept as legal the German military budget and wants the disarm- ment conference to tackle the prob- lem from the standpoint that Ger- many already has begun rearming in violation of the treaty of Versailles. It also Sys seated that France is disturbed last Saturday's mem- orandum of five neutral powers— Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark and Norway—holding that it is better The Weather _—_—$_$ $$ ns PRICE FIVE peel ‘Court to Review Moratorium | Surprise Expressed at Low Airmail Bids Militia Halts Oklahoma Tax Sales HETTINGER CASE 1S EXPECTED 10 REACH TRIBUNAL SPEEDILY Whether Military Force Can Supplant Civil Authority ls Question THREE GUARDS ARRAIGNEQ Militiamen Are Permitted ta Sign Own Bonds by Mott Magistrate Mott, N. D., April 20.—(%)—Out of the arraignment here of three North Dakota National Guardsmen late Thursday grew plans to test Gov. ‘William Langer’s authority to use the state's military branch to supersede civil authority in enforcing his morte gage foreclosure moratorium, The guardsmen, represented by ase sistant state attorney general Charlea A. Verret, were bound over to the dis- trict court on a charge of assault with @ deadly weapon, while a second charge, that of extortion,- was con- tinued for two weeks. A special term of court will be asked by State’s Attorney J. K. Murray of Mott and, regardless of the decision, the case will be taken to the state su Preme court for final determination. Arrested on the two charges following their enforcement of the governor's orders to evict a renter from a Hete tinger county farm and to restore pos- session to the former owner, the guardsmen were released on bonds of $500 each. State’s Attorney Murray agreed to permit the men to sign their. bonds personally. On the extortion charge, Verret and Murray will present briefs to City Magistrate William Hendricks, who presided at Thursday’s prelim inary hearing. Legal phases sur rounding this charge will be pre« sented, Anxious For Test Verret, who was-dispatehed here from Bismarck by Attorney General ‘P. O. Sathre, was represented by Murray as anxious to have a test case taken to the courts. Murray said an agreement was reached to clear the way for bringing the case before the state supreme court. When the guardsmen are brought before the district court at a special term, which may be convened in about a month, the state will inter- pose demurrers to informations which will be filed by Murray. The principal point will be whether military autgority can be used by the governor to supersede civil authority without declaration of martial law. Guardsmen have been used frequent- ly by the governor to restore farms to Persons who lost them in mortgage foreclosures. Murray takes the view such procedure is illegal and that civil authorities are supreme unless mar- tial law is declared, The guardsmen, Captain Wayne Klinefelter and Adolph Remillong and Ralph C. Ehli, all of Dickinson, were brought here by dep- uty sheriffs to appear at the prelim- inary he . Their arrest followed the eviction Wednesday of Arthur Peters from the farm he was renting from a@ mortgage company. The guardsmen restored possession to Frank Stricker, who lost it by de- faulting on his contract to purchase. CASS COUNTY SHERIFF AWAITS DEVELOPMENTS Fargo, N.
