Nippon Preparing for War as Hostilities Continue in ~~ Peiping Area Peiping, July 14—(7)—Japanese and Chinese alike began evacu- ation of this city Wednesday amid predictions and fears that hostili- ties between Japanese and Chinese t-oops would be resumed. Peace negotiations apparently had failed, despite a Japanese re- Port that such deliberations were under way with local authorities of Hopei and Chahar provinces. (By the Associated Press) China demanded Wednesday that dapan end the tense North China crisis by evacuating her troops from the battle area west of Peiping and halting mass movements of reinforce- ments to the front. The Japanese government immediately rejected the demands. The government's rejection came while .all the forces of Japan were being mobilized as replacements for the troops moving in wholesale num- bers to.North China where Chinese and Japanese armies have been fight- ing for a week, Just previously a government spokesman had said bluntly that Japan unalterably opposed any foreign in- tervention to settle the increasingly tense crisis in Sino-Japanese affairs. ‘The foreign office spokesman said the government would consider sugges- tions of international consultation, but any proposal:that: partook of the nature of intervention certainly would be unacceptable. Danger Increasing With the danger of war believed to be increasing. hourly, the Japanese government moved to check war prof- ences over the farm tenancy program, but this and the veto message must remain indefinitely as the senate’s un- finished b jusiness. The tenancy bill authorizes an in- itial outlay of $10,000,000 to help worthy tenants become farm owners.

Tt was freely admitted that Japan has not met such a formidable enemy as the United Chinese army since Russia was defeated in 1905. The army declared China had 2,000,000 men, one-half of whom were government and trained by German World war veterans. The Japanese army estimated the Chinese air force at 940 planes. Reports from Washington indicated the United States had received a British proposal looking to consulta- tion among the powers on the Peiping situation. French official quarters said France had proposed tri-power consultations with the United States The Japanese high command at Tientsin rushed 2,000 reinforcements, fully supported with artillery and armored cars, to the Peiping battle area Wednesday after the defeat of Japanese troops by the 29th Chinese route army before the southern and eastern gates of the city Tuesday. At the same time, however, Japanese sources announced their troops had evacuate? ‘he Wanpinghsien village area near the Marco Polo bridge where the first clash occurred. The Japanese sources described the effect a settlement.” This latest de- velopment caused another lull in the surface tension but seemingly did not end the increasing difficulties of the crisis. American travelers, including 150 army and navy officers on China sta- tion and their families, fled Peiping on the first of three trains allowed to leave for Tientsin Wednesday morn-! ¥. 4: showers probable. Dies Democratic Chief, Slated for Court, Dies in Bathroom President Roosevelt’s Chief Senate Adviser Found Dead By Maid; Had Suffered Heart Attacks Recently Administration’s Legislative Program Thrown Into Turmoil; Robinson Was Personally in Charge of Piloting Bills Washington, July 14—(AP)—Senator Joe T. Robinson, Democratic leader since 1922 and President Roosevelt’s chief senate adviser, died suddenly Wednesday in his capital apart- ment home. Robinson’s body was discovered at 7:15 a. m. (CST) by the family’s colored maid, Mary Jasper. Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald said his death was due to heart disease. Dr. George W. Calver, capitol physician, said Robinson ap- parently had left his bed about midnight and had gone to the bathroom where he fell face downward. Calver said Robinson, who was 64 years old, had suffered several heart attacks in recent months. The physician said that when Robinson made the address which touched off fiery senate debate on the court issue he be- came very pale and apparently cut his address short. “I did not see him at the time,” Calver said, “but many who were there noticed he became very pale and apparently cut his speech short. Senator Copeland rushed to his side when he stopped speaking.” Tentative plans were made to send Senator Robinson’s body to Arkansas Thursday evening. GAME CHIEF CALLS 22 RIFLE ‘MENACE? As word of his death spread over the capital, many of his colleagues went to the Robinson home. The first to arrive were Senators Harrison (Dem., Miss.) and Walsh (Dem., Mass). Both were affected so deeply they declined to comment. Capital Shocked The sudden death of the senate Promiscuous Shooting From/the Cars Not to Be Tolerated, -- Hulterstrom Avows D. W. Hulterstrum, state game and fish commissioner, appealed Wednes- day to North Dakota parents to aid the department in combatting the “22 rifle menace” which he gaid is caus- ing great damage to property and wild life during closed-season. It is impossible for the department, to control promiscuous 22 rifle shoot- ing, Hulterstrum asserted, but if citi- zens will actively support the depart- ment perhaps the “menace” can be controlled. He said if the problem is not solved legislation must be enact- ed to stop it. “I am not going to tolerate promis- cuous shooting out of cars on our pub- lic highways,” Hulterstrum declared. “It is not enough that buildings are shot at, and windows broken, but not @ bird in the field is safe when sighted by many boys.” He said the department had re- ceived numerous reports of dead cat~ tle, horses, hogs and other stock, kill- ed by youths with the small calibre gun which today has become a “deadly weapon.” WAYS TO HALT RUST PLAGUES PONDERED Development of Rust Resistant Variety in Spring Wheat Section Is Urged Fargo, N. D., July 14.—(?)—One of the best methods of preventing rust epidemics in the spring wheat terri- tory would be development of strains of rust resistant wheats in the soft winter wheat territory, Dr. E. ©. Stakman, chief plant pathologist at tory. the University of Minnesota and ine ternationally famous authority on stem rust declared at a wheat con- ference here Tuesday. Missouri and other soft winter wheat producing areas experienced one of the worst rust epidemics in the history of that region, and from that area came millions of rust spores, borne by strong southern winds to rain down upon the spring wheat ter- ritory and bring on the serious rust epidemic now threatening fields of this section Dr. Stakman said. While extent of the damage that will be done in spring wheat territory will not be determined until the grain is harvested two to three weeks hence, it is certain to be serious, he believes. A hopeful factor is the fact that there is a considerable percentage of Thatcher and durum wheats which are rust resistant and are withstand- ing rust much better than other va- rieties. There is practically no rust on oats, which promise a bumper yield throughout the Red River valley and the barley is not rusting as se- verely as it did two years ago.

Lifted to Eminence Political fortunes shaped themselves almost by apparent design to lift Joseph Taylor Robinson to a position of eminence in the Democratic party in the affairs of the nation. Although a figure of importance ip the senate during the better part of the decade after the World War, his peculiar availability in 1928 made him the running mate of Alfred E. Smith in one of the most memorable presi- dential elections in the nation’s his- To a large extent he shaped his own destiny, but he was, nevertheless, 8 man seemingly cast for the times. and prohibition, over which the states below the Mason and Dixon line felt deeply, dictated that the Democratic party which had chosen Smith, a New York Catholic and wet, as its leader to contest with Herbert Hoover, would do well to go to the south for its vice presidential nominee. In Senator Robinson, the party found a man not only suitable to meet the strategic necessities, but also one whose ability, political courage and simple dignity held out the best hopes for success.
