C.ENEVA, November 7 lished a note by Aristide Briand as president of the Council to the Chinese and Japanese governments respecting the Nonni Bridge incident. Extension of these incidents toward Northern Manchuria cannot but in- crease the xiety of the Council, the note said, and both governments were reminded of the assurances they had given to avoid aggravating the Man- churian situation. “To fulfill these undertakings,” M. Briand wrote, “it now seems necessary that the two governments issue instruc- tions without delay to the officers com- manding their forces in order to remove all possibility of sanguinary engage- ments between their troops. Any fur- ther sericus incidents may make it even more difficult for the Council to pursue its efforts for the maintenance of peace.” Boycott Considered. ‘Pressure of economic and diplomatic boycotts against Japan by the rest of the world powers who are members of the League was under consideration to- day as a possible next move in the ef- fort to settle the Sino-Japaness conflict in Manchuria.

As the program stood today, effort will be made to induce Japas adopt a more conciliatory attitude to- _ ward China and if that fails the council will probably call for members to recall ir envoys.

Far Eastern experts believe Japanese mod- efates are doing their best to curb the power of the military elements. In the meantime, M. Briand is said to be doing his best to convince M. Koshizawa, Japanese Ambassador at Paris, that Japan must return the salt tax revenues China complains have been seized in Manchuria and discon- tinue the setting up of puppet govern- ments there which has been reported to internatiohal circles. ADDRESS WAS WRONG Man Held on Liquor Charge Not Tildsn Gardens Resident. In The Star's account yesterday of the arrest of Joseph De Palma on lizuar charges, it was stated erroneously that the man lives at the Tilden Gardens, on Connecticut avenue. De Palma. a former member of the police vice squad, resides at 3000 Con- necticut avenue, Cathedral Mansions. He was arrested in the janitor’s quar- ters there when detectives investigated an anonymous complaint. Police re- ported seizure of several gallons of al- cohol and a quantity of beer. Little Girl Los CHILD UNCERTAIN WHAT HER NAME 1IS. A b-year-old girl foud wandering aimlessly up and down P street last ht was still unidentified today at the celving Home, where she was taken by first precinct police. ‘The child, picked up by Policeman J. B. ‘Trittipoe, not only does not know where she lives, but isn’t at all sure about her name. She was cold and hungry when ‘Trittipoe came upon her in the down- town section, and his first thought was to take her to the police station, where she could be “warmed up a bit and After she had been given all she wanted to eat, she told the policeman her name was Ruby Margaret Warren. BShe was taken to the Recelving Home after Trittipoe had broadcast her de- &cription to all precincts. Questioned by attendants at the Home, she said she wasn't sure whether her name was War- ren, Lee, Swann or Ruby Ward.

HARLAN, Ky, November 7.—The aftermath of the battle of Evarts, in which four men were killed, last May was felt in three Kentucky counties to- day and threatened to reach to New York City in the form of an investiga- tion of slayings there. £ " In Harlan Courty Theodore Dreiser and his committee of writers repre- senting the Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners continued its in- vestigation of reports of terrorism and “blackjack rule” inflicted on striking miners. In Bell County, adjoining, a group of Pineville residents, styling themselves “the Soclety tor the Protection of De- fenseless Children,” set November 20 as the date they will go to New York to investigate reports that children are be- ing slain on the streets by gangsters.

Dreiser and Editor Clash. The Dreiser Committee yesterday heard miners’ wives say their families are living on beans and bread. Sheriff J. H. Blair told the committee he was not prejudiced in favor of coal operators nor against unions, but was determined to enforce the law. One miner testi- fied he was chained to a radiator in a cell while in the Harlan County Jail. Dreiser was transformed from prose- cutor to witness by Herndon Evans, pub lisher of the Pinesville Sun. The ai thor of “An American Tragedy” re- vealed his annual income was approx- imately $35,000 and that he gave none of it to charity, but supported financial- 1y the Civil Liberties Union. Dreiser had questioned the Kentucky editor previously about his religion, in- come and other personal matters and asked Evans if he thought it fair to earn between $50 and $75 a week while and $40 a month. The Pipeville Soclety wired the presi- dents of two railroads asking trans- York hotel asking that the society be “entertained” there while in the city. Indictments Attacked. Demurrers filed in Montgomery Cir- cuit Court attack the sufficiency of the indictments and the right transfer the trials from Harlan County. The defendants, all labor leaders and miners, contend the venue change places them at a disadvantage use they have no money to pay for the transportation of witnesses.

CHICAGO, November 7 (#).—Chicago |is rid of Ralph Capone for some time to come.

Ralph, hcwever, wished for solitude and was permitted to have the gflvncy of a com- partment, in which he remained for most of the trip. He was taken to the railroad station in a patrol wagon with the other prisoners, while a crowd of curious watched. A special guard was | posted at his compartment. Alphonse, who is No. 1 on the Chi- cago Crime Commission’s list of “pub- lic enemies,” remained in the county jail. Ralph and Alphonse were allowed to hold a family reunion with their mother and their two sisters before the trip to prison was begun. ‘The elder Capone was convicted in April, 1930, and was sentenced by James H. Wilkerson, the same Federal judge who presided at Alphonse's trial. The Government alleged he failed to pay $300,000 due as taxes. In addition to his three-year sen- tence, Ralph was fined $10,000. There also is a prohibition charge against him awaiting trial and he must pay the $300,000 tax claim and penalties. | SNOW FALLS IN GOTHAM Foot Ball Fans Drag Out Blankets | With First Winter Touch. | NEW YORK, November 7 (#).—Foot ball fans dragged out heavy coats and blankets tcday for protection against a biting northwest wind which brought | the first touch of Winter to the city.

The case will be presented to the grand jury Monday, it was announced. Mrs. Riley, clad in a black coat and hat, sat beside her husband during the court proceedings. She stared intently at the boy, Francis, while he was tes- tifying. When the emaciated girl was carried into the room, however, she averted her eyes. The father, smaller than his wife and slightly gray, sat quietly throughout the hearings and made no effort to speak to his children as he was being led out of the court room. Returns to Hospital. After the hearing Edith was taken back to Gallinger Hospital where shey spent last night. The night nurses said “she didn't know how to get in her crib last night. We had to put her there.” Her first words this morning after eating a hearty breakfast were: “Give me another egg—give me two more egEs. Rf':‘nncls and his 20-year-old sister will live at the home of an aunt, Mrs. Lula Reed, 1414 V street, until the case is settled. Mrs. Riley Denies Charges. Mrs. Riley in an interview with a Star reporter, characterized the charges as_untrue. Mrs. Riley attributed the stories which resulted in her arrest to “malice and persecution on the part of certain peo- ple who have resented Mr. Riley's three children living with us since I married him three years ago.” “It 1s all untrue,” declared Mrs. Riley, a slender, dark-eyed woman, to a Star reporter today. “Edith,” she continued, “due to her mental condition, could not be left alone. She would do all sorts of dan- gerous things. Scars on her forehead are due to her having knocked her head against the door to get out, and I only left her in the closet when it was neces- sary for me to leave the house. It is not true that she was left in the closet at other times. She slept in the room with me, and I prepared her food and fed her.” Sleeping in Closet Denied. As she was speaking, Mrs. Riley, accompanied by her husband, a well dressed man, whose face showed deep lines of worry and concern, led the way upstairs to & bed room in the rear of the house. The room was flooded with sunshine, and two large double beds, not yet made up but showing clean linen and warm blankets, stood side by side. “This is where Edith has slept ever since I have had her,” she explained. “It is abeolutely false that she slept in the closet and was left there all day. All of this story has been brought about through malice and persecution on the part of certain people who have re- sented Mr. Riley's three children living with us since I married him three years ago.” ‘Mm. Riley's eyes filled with tears and her lips trembled. “I have always tried to be good to the children,” she continued, “but then, I am only a stepmother, and the chil- dren have hated me.” At this point Mr. Riley explained that at tde time of the death of his first wife, 12 years ago, his children were sent to their grandmother. “When I married again,” he said, “it was necessary for me to go to court to get legal possession of my children. I was afraid to send Edith to an insti- tution as I have always be - *-d that a child mentally affected a: 3 would be put in a straight jacke: . nave her arms tied. I suppose I was :ong and should have sent her to an institution six years ago. In fact, Edith should have been sent to one when she was a little girl, but I was afraid she would not be treated well.” Explains Undernourishment. ‘The fact of her undernourished con- dition was explained by the child’s step- mother as due to her inability to retain food. “The minute I would give her food,” sald Mrs. Riley, “she would put her finger in her throat and throw it up. Edith was given plenty of food, and I always fed her myself in this bed room.” “We never took her outsid she con- tinued, “as she was too badly behaved and we were afraid to risk it. She was a hard child to manage and frequently would bite me when I tried to bathe and dress her. At one time I got blood poisoning from a bite on the finger.” | "Did_you ever give the child play- things?”the mother was asked. “Yes, oftentimes,” she replied, “but she would smash them the minute they were given to her.” As to the “dangerous dog” which was reported to have kept watch outside Edith's closet door, Mrs. Riley laughed. “I will show you the dog,” she added. In the dining room downstairs was a harmless half-breed dog. Rachel, a colored servant in the kitchen, declared the dog had been in the kitchen when the police had come to the house in Mrs. Riley’s absence. Rachel added that Edith had never been in the kitchen. Closet Commodious. From the bed room, Mrs. Riley led | the reporter to an adjoining bath room, also flooded with sunshine. At one end of the bath room was located the closet, unusually commodious, perhaps four by five in proportion, which was reported to have been Edith's place of | inearceration for four years. “I merely put her in here while I went down the street to do some shop- ping,” she explained. “It was while I | was out of the house that the police came to get her.” “Once when the other children were sleeping,” said the mother, “and I was out of the house, Edith, who was sup- posed to be in bed, got up and turned all the gas on. The house was filled with gas when I returned.” “It is not true that Edith was cov- ered with bruises,” declared Mrs. Riley. “I am the one who has been covered | with bruises, from where the two older children have beaten me. “It's been very hard,” she sighed. Then, rather proudly, she remarked, “Why, not even the neighbors knew I was'a stepmother to the children. “I have gone without clothes I needed to give them clothes and have done all I could to make them happy.” It also was learned today in the office of school attendance and work permits at the Franklin Administration Building Edith's case has been in the hands of the Board of Public Welfare for at least five years. The case first came to the attention of the authorities five years ago, it was explained, when the child | became 7 years of age. As a result of a house-to-house canvass, inspectors of the school attendance and work per- mits office knew of Edith's existence, and when her parents failed to enroll her in a school at that age, in accord- ance with the compulsory school-attend- ance law, Mrs. Riley was doctor’s certificate in which the physi- cdl’ln had stated the child’s mental con- tion the Board of Public Welfare at that time, and the child formally was ex- off cused from attendance at scl | ed upon for | attempted to bribe & an explanation.

NEW YORK, November 7.—The Riley charging them with “cruelty t0{Mayor of Eimsford, N. ¥, revealed to day that Gloria Swanson and Michael Farmer, wealthy young sportsman, were married by him August 16, two days after their arrival from Europe aboard the same steamship. Miss Swanson, whose divorce from her third husband, the Marquis Henri de 1a Falaise de la Coudraye, does not become final in California courts un- til Monday, when her attorney has an- nounced he will file the necessary pa- pers, could not be located early today, nor could Farmer. Both are some- where on the West Coast. Officlals Are Witnesses. ‘The mayor, John E. Murray, said he performed the ceremony in the town of Mount Pleasant, where, he explained, the license was issued. He slipplied the witnesses, Willlam Buckley, tax re- cefver, and Edward F. Hennessey, Mount Pleasant town clerk. Shortly after the ceremony the couple were sald to have gone to the Westchester County home of Dudley Field Malone, international lawyer. The ceremony, Mayor Murray said, was “all in the day's work.” He was 50 little impressed by the fact that the bride was a celebrity of the cinema, he added, that he “promptly forgot the oc- casion.” Close Friends Surprised. The marriage was Miss Swanson’s fourth. Her first husband was Wallace Beery, screen actor. Her second was a Hollywood restaurant man, Herbert Somborn, and to them her only child was born. In the license obtained in Mount Pleasant, Miss Swanson’s age was given as 31 and Farmer's as 29. Announcement that the marriage had taken place came as a surprise to even the closest friends of Miss Swanson here. GRANDI SAILS TODAY TO CONFER WITH PRESIDENT HOOVER (Continued Prom First Page.)

It is a very important language nowadays, he said, and when his son Franco is 14 he is going to send him to school in the United States. The boy is only 6 years old now. One of his official staff is Augusto Rosso, in charge of reparations and similar matters in the foreign .ffice. He had an important part in the Franco-Itallan naval negotiations and his presence in the group is taken as an indication that the naval issue may be discussed in detail. Leonardo Vitettl, another member of the staff, have served in the Washington embassy. PLANS ANNOUNCED HERE. Dino Grandi, Italy’s foreign minister, who sailed today for the United States, may give New York City the run- around on his trip to Washington. He may come directly to the Capital from Jersey City, or if he does enter the metropolis, it will be without the usual formal welcome. This was dis- closed yesterday with publication by the State Department of tentative plans for his visit. Arrives Here November 16. It has been reported that the New York reception was being omitted be- cause of a possibility of anti-Fascist agitation. To this department officials replied that the formal greetings of city officials and the customary parade up Broadway are reserved for premiers and other heads of government. The Italian foreign minister, accom- glnied by Signora Grandi, will visit altimore and Philadelphia, as well as Washington and New York. The pro- gram for their American visit covers just a week, from November 16 to 23. Arriving in Washington early in the afternoon of November 16, they will dine with Secretary of State Stimson at his home, while the minister’s staff will go to the Mayflower Hotel. A for- mal call on President Hoover at the ‘White House is scheduled for the late afternoon. ‘The next day will be spent at Wood- |ley, Secretary Stimson'’s estate, except for such time as will be needed for visits to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, calls upon Vice President Curtis and Chief Justice Hughes and luncheons at the Italian embassy.

Only half an hour before he died he had joked friends and told them, “I'm gof get u? next wevi, doctor or no doctor.” A few momeuts before he died the Senator complained of a severe pain. His wife left him to get aid and wben she returned he was dead. The body of Senator Caraway will lie in state at the State Capitol several hours tomorrow and then will be taken to Jonesboro for funeral services and burial Monday.

Was Warrior Always. “Everything comes to him who waits— and fights” was the philosophy of Sen- ator Caraway from boyhood. ‘The warring spirit vorn in him was manifest in his rise from farm boy, faced with numerous disadvantages, to United States Senator from Arkansas. In the years between Caraway was a rallroad section worker, a book and patent medicine salesman, country school ua;lg. lawyer, prosecuting at- torney and Congressman. Caraway was always a fighter—Iit was his battles in the Senate, in which he gained a reputation of being one of its most and vitriolic speakers, that he was perhaps best known.

A bitter attack on the floor of the Senate upon Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall for his leasing of the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills naval oil reserves to the Sinclair and Doheny interests furnished Caraway the vehicle for a spectacular leap into the national spotlight in 1924. His criticism of Fall and the leases was credited with doing much toward inspiring the vigorous Senate investigation that followed. One of Caraway's early attacks in the Senate, which he entered in 1921, was upon Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty. He continued his fight upon Daugherty until Daugherty left binet. méncr.wqy always had an abundant store of wit at his command. He and Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, alike in many respects, once engaged in an acri- ‘monious debate in the Senate which brought members out of the cloak rooms. Caraway had been berating Reed and Missouri as well, when the Missouri warhorse arose and begged leave to ask him a question.

He worked at odd jobs to gain a college education. With a degree from Dickson College, Dickson, Tenn., Caraway went to Agkansas in 1896 and taught school for three years, studying law during his spare moments. In 1800 he was ad- mitted to the bar and eight years later was elected prosecuting attorney of the Jonesboro district. He held this office until 1913, when he went to Congress. In 1920 he was elected to the Senate to succeed Senator W. F. Kirby, one of the “willful 12" who opposed President Wilson's foreign policy.

CONGRESS NOW DIVIDED. Caraway Death Expected to Give Senate To G. O. P., House to Democrats. By the Associated Press. Fate, which for months has disturbed the alignment of Congress, seems to have settled at last upon Republican control of the Senate and Democratic organization of the House. The death last night of a Democratic Senator, Thaddeus H. Caraway of Ar- kansas, restored the Republican plural- ity of one which was lost by the recent death of Senator Dwight W. Morrow of New Jersey. G. O. P. Lead Expected.

Roughly, these divide into two groups— those who agree with Senator Reed of Pennsylvania that a sales tax would balance the books, and those who the balancing shculd be done largely through increased taxes on larger in- comes. Statement Elaborated. ‘The controversy with the Navy League had its origin in his insistence that the Navy Department reduce its 1933 estimate of $401,000,000 by $61,- 000,000, an insistence which did not fit well with some within the de) ent. Mr. Hoover also reiterated warflings, in his statement late yesterday, against pressure upon the coming Congress for added appropriations. He departed from custom by elaborat- ing upon his prepared statement. It was difficult to compare the last budget with the forthcoming one, he said, be- cause the former included funds for emergency use to be spent over a con- siderable period.
