TWO CENTS. Dynamite Wrecks Chicago Landmark Of Many Mistakes By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. November 7.—The city’s monument to misunder- standing was a wreck today. Dynamite put to an end the 200-foot smokestack, all that re- mained of a garbage incinerator which cost the city $219,341 in 1914, but never was used. Just why the building was erected is apparently unknown. The steel of the smokestack was sold for $800 last year by a mistake. The man who bought it outbid his rival, who was under- stood by him to have bid $750. ‘The other firm, however, meant it would charge the city that much to haul the wreckage away.

JAPANESE LOSSES PLACED ‘ AT 36 DEAD AND 144 WOUNDED Economic and Political Boycott Against Japan by Members of League Considered. By the Associated Press TOKIO, November 7.—In the face of reports that scattered Chi- nese armies were moving towgrd Tahsing to meet thg Japanese forces which routed the Chinese Heilungkiang Army, hurried preparations were made by the victorious invaders today against a possible attack. While several reports of Chinese movements were not fully con- firmed, Japanese commanders deemed it wise to take precautions to protect their forces of more than 1,000 at the Nonni River bridgehead near Tahsing. Simultaneously the war office in Tokio emphasized that the Japa- nese forces had no intention of proceeding north of Tahsing unfisu unexpected developments occurred. Should they advance much | farther in that direction they would enter the Russian area of in- fluence in Manchuria. 2d Division Moving. Gen. Honjo, commander of Japanese forces in Manchuria, issued | orders that his soldiers were not to cross the Tahsing line. Headquarters of the 2d Division, commanded by Gen. Jiro Tamon, moved, or were preparing to move, from Changchun to Taonan. i Latest reports of casualties in the Manchurian fighting estimate the Japanese losses at 36 dead and 144 wounded, including 7 officers.

Th all probability, the committee will concur with President Hoover in his claim that Gardiner uttered “untruths” in the sensational pamphlet criticizing the administration and accusing th: President of “abysmal ignorance” with regard to naval matters. ©One of the counts, it is believed. will | be that Gardiner was inaccurate in “is | charge that President Hoover arriv~d | at & secret agreement with Prime Min- | ister MacDonald of Great Britain dur- ing the latter’s visit here. Another likely will be that Gardiner erred when he charged that members of the Senate were not permitted to secure information regarding the con- versations with the British prime min- ister. These two counts would arice from the following paragraph on the first of Gardiner's pamphlet: “The President’s initiative for a con- ference (on naval reduction) led to his conversations at the Rapidan with the British prime minister, which, admit- tedly, reached agreements that have never officially been divulged in their entirety; which suggests why the ad- ministration refused to_allow even an executive session of the Senate Commit- | tee on Foreign Relations to see the full account of its negotiations and possible commitments preparatory to the London Naval Conference of 1930 Backed by Committee.

We can, diplo- matic observers said, give President Hoover fresh impressions and a fresh judgment on how Europe might react to any plan the President may have to propose. Seeks Neutral Regard. Signor Grandi wishes to be regarded as a European neutral during his stay in the United States, it was unofficially explained, and he intends carefully to avold giving any impression that his mission is to balance that of Premier Laval of France. His visit may take on major im- | portance among the recent intergov- | ernment conferences, it is believed political circles here, because of Italy's disposition to co-operate with the United States wherever possible and because he takes with him a real knowledge of the German situation. During his recent visit to Berlin, it was said, ke received Chancellor Bruening's full confidence and he will be in a position to tell' President Hoover what the chancellor himself would say if he went to Washington— tempered, however, with his own and Premier Mussolini’s observations. Premier Mussolini admires the United States, thinks it is a wonderful coun- try, and was said today to feel a deep regret that necessity for his remaining in Italy prevents him from making the trip himself.

Bertrand Emerson, counsel for the father and stepmother, asked the boy when his sister was fed. “Whenever there was enough left over | from our dinner,” he replied. “If there | | wasn't anything left over, she didn't get | anything.” | The boy said he had seen doctors ex- | amining the child two or three times. | The last time she was seen by a physi- sian, he sald, was about two years ago. | He said he had heard the doctors dis- | cuss with his parents the advisability | of placing his sister in an asylum or a home, but that his father had always | objected, declaring he wanted to keep | | the child and care for her in his home. | Testifies About Beatings. | Assistant United States Attorney Keogh then asked the boy who had) beaten the girl. i “My stepmother used to beat her,” )r:e sald. “Father never laid a hand on er.”” “She (the stepmother) used to kick her in the face and make her head bleed.

Th only other witness called by the Government was Mrs. Ruby Brandt of the Women's Bureau. She said shei went to the house yesterday and found the child sitting on a blanket in the closet adjoining the bathroom. “We forced the door to get in,” she said, “and found the child sitting there. There was nothing in the room except the blankets and a small pan of water. The child just sat there and stared at us dumbly.” . | | By the Associated Press.
