A brigade of Japanese infantrymen marched westward from Chinchow, Manchuria, yesterday to avenge the slaying of 20 of their countrymen last week by Chinese irregulars. The brigade had orders to clear 15,000 Chinese soldiers from the area between Chinchow and the border of Jehol Province—and perhaps to press on into Jehol, Chinese sources said, although this was denied by Japanese authorities, Mukden army headquarters of the Japanese relayed reports that rewards totaling $100,000 had been offered to Chinese guerrilla bands for harassing the Tokio army. Meanwhile, observers in Harbin ex- pected Gen. Mah Chan-Shan, enemy of the Japanese in the Nonni-Tsitsihar campaign last November, to emerge as | the leader of a new army that will | co-operate with the Japanese-sup- ported regime in the province of ng the new government succeeded in bridging temporarily its financial crisis, Under threat of a moratorium on the interest on domes- tic loans, Shanghai bankers agreed to provide the government with $2,500.000 a month. This sum was expected to enable the government to get along, providing expenditures were cut in half It was learned that Sun Fo, who holds the post corresponding to premier in the Chinese government, and Foreign Minister Eugene Chen had strongly urged the severance of diplomatic rel tions with Japan and possibly a declara- tion of war. This news carried a threat against the life of the 16-da$-old government. Averring that conditions in China have changed since the nine-power treaty was signed, Japan's answer to Secretary Stimson’s recent note was forwarded to Washington ORDERED TO CLEAR AREA. | Brigade to Chinsi to Avenge Slaying of 20 Cavalrymen. MUKDEN, Manchuria, January 16 (#).—A Japanese ‘infantry brigade marched westward from Chinchow to- day to even the score with Chinese irregular troops who fell upon a small of Japanese cavalrymen last week, killing 20 of them The avenging column had orders to proceed to Chinsi, 35 miles to the south- west, and to clear the area between Chinchow and the border of Jehol Province of Chinese forces, estimated to_be 15,000 strong. Information from certain sources to the effect that Marshal Chang Hsiao- Liang, deposed Manchurian governor, was planning a renewed offensive | against Japan, was circulated by the a’apunue military authorities in Muk- en. | Chang Prepares Defense. Marshal Chang, these reports said. has been making defensive dispositions of his regular troops in the district be- tween Shanhaikwan and Lanchow and simultaneously has ordered guerrilla outfits to strike the right flank and rear of the Japanese army, chiefly in the Chinst district, where the number of Chinese volunteer forces has greatly increased. P o s A considerable amount of ammuni- ticn already has' been delivered to guerrilla units east of Jehol and re- wards totaling $200,000 Mexican (nom- inally $100,000 American) have been offered guerrilla units that are success- ful in harassing tactics, the Japanese asserted. The headquarters spokesman denied that the Japenese brigade from Chin- chow would advance cn Jehol, but there was evidence that the military authorities were increasingly turning their attention to that province, the governor of which, Tang Yu-Lin, re- mains uncertain in his attitude. Minor Skirmishes Reported. Headquarters reported several minor skirmishes with irregular Chinese units A battalion attacked about 300 men north of Tiehling, dispersing them with the loss of one man wounded, a com- munique said. The Chinese left ‘40 dead, according to this report Another expedition left Hsinmintun to crush guerrilas, reported by airmen to be concentrated 20 miles northwest of Hsinmintun. Japanese newspapers reported fight- ing had been stopped between Chinese factions in the Pinhsien region as a of the mediation of Chang Ching-Huil, who was installed by the Japanese last week as governor of Heilungkiang province. The papers in- terpreted this news as meaning the end remnant of independent Chinese authority in Manchuria. TOKIO AND NANKING NOTES SATISFY U. S. Both Replies Conciliatory Toward American Insistence Treaty Rights. on The American Government yester- day received, without formal comment, replies from China and Japan to its invocation of treaty rights in their Manchurian dispute. In tone, each was conciliatory toward America’s insistence on its citizens' | rights under the nine-power treaty and | the Kellogg-Briand anti-war _treaty Each note, in setting forth the position of its government, was critical, however, | of the other. State Department officials | expressed a general opinion that the notes were satisfactory. China, in replying, referred to “the lawless acts of the Japanese,” while Japan pointed to “the present un- settled and distracted state of China.” The Nanking government accused the Japanese of having “openly invaded” Chinese territory, and with violation |of the League of Natlons Covenant the nine-power treaty and the anti-war pact. It promised that China would conclude no treaties or agreements contrary to the provisions of the nine- power treaty or the anti-war pact Tt slso expressed the “sincere hope ; of the Chinese government” that the | United States would continue to pro- mote the effectiveness of the interna- tional treaties. “The Japanese government must bear full responsibility for all the events in- velved,” the note said. A reply had been expected from China, but not from Japan, since the Tokio government did not answer a similar invocaticn of American rights in 1815, The United States has not yet been cfficially advised of the intentions of jhe majority of the other parties to the Tine-power treaty, to which copies of Secretary Stim:cn's invocation were sent.

WASHINGTON FETE [TEM CUT $a0.000 Senate Action on Deficiency Bill Hits Printing of Pamphlets. ‘The Senate yesterday sustained the in cutting down the item in the first deficlency bill for expenses of the George Washington Bicentennial Com- mission from $250,000 to $200,000. The Senate at the same time ap- proved the committee’s action in elimi- nating from the bill authority to use $33,000 of unexpended balances of ‘ex- isting appropriations of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks for maintenance of the Mount Vernon Me- morial Highway during the remainder of this fiscal year. Senators Copeland of New York and Tydings of Maryland made a plea for restoration of the $50,000 taken from the Bicentennial fund, explaining that it was to be used for printing historical pamphlets connected with the life of Washington, for which there is great demand. Reduction Is Favored. replied that Congress has appropriated over $800,000 already for the work of the commission and that the committee felt the item of $250,000 additional could be cut_down in view of present conditions. Senator Jones pointed out there will be another deficiency bill in Congress three or four months from now, in which further consideration could be given to the needs of the Bi- centennial organization Earlier in the day, before the defi- clency bill was taken up, Senator Fess of Ohio, vice chairman of the Bicen- tennial Commission, had glven the Senate an outline of the more impor- tant events that will mark the Bicen- tennial observance, in the course of which he estimated that between six million and eight million strang will visit Washington during the year. Although it acted on most of the committee amendments, the Senate did not pass the deficiency bill yesterday and will continue consideration of other items tomorrow. ‘There were indications last night that the Senate will endeavor to make even more rigid the provision already writ- ten into the deficiency measure by the House to prevent remodeling of the | State Department Building, west of the White House, indefinitely. Use of Funds Restricted. In appropyiating additional funds for the Federal building program in the pending deficiency bill, the House in- serted a proviso that no part of this appropriation could be used for the State Department remodeling. Late yes- terday Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, introduced a bill providing an act passed in other previous act, could be used for reconstructing the State Department until hereafter authorized by law. The Senate approved committee amendments giving the Treasury $200,- 000 for operating forces in the mainte- nance of public buildings and $250,000 for furniture for public buildings. Sen- ator King of Utah, discussing these amendments, urged economy in oper- ating and furnishing Government build- ings. Senator Jones explained the furniture item has to be increased at this time because, in order to provide employment, the building program has been accelerated throughout the coun- ned at the beginning of the fiscal year.

UNIONS HEAR PLEA OF RAILWAY HEADS Wage Cut Parley Nearing Showdown—Sessions Set for Today. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 16.—Railroad | presidents presented their case to the | employes today and the negotiations on wage reductions and unemployment will narrow down tomorrow to the weighing of proposal for proposal. Daniel Willard, president of the Bal- | timore & Ohio and leader of the group representing every major railroad in the country, told rotherhood and union delegates why the managements considered it essential that the men | accept voluntary 10 per cent wage cuts | for 1 year. | David B. Robertson, head of the Fire- men's Brotherhood and leader of the union delegation, had previously offered | a program under which average rail | forces would be assured employment for & year and relief would be ex- | tended to those out of work. Sunday Sessions Planned. With the two viewpoints explained, | the conference, which is fully author- ized to reach an agreement on the |two matters, adjourned this noon to | give each side an opportunity to caucus its membership regarding the sugges- tions. To men who had worked most of their lives on rallroads, Sunday of- fered no obstacle to continuous work, and two sessions were planned for to- morrow. Then will begin a general free-for-all discussion of the problems. Most of it is expected to center on the labor program with the outcome hinged on the questions of how much will the managements concede to get immediate 10 per cent cuts and how little will the men accept without forc- ing the lengthy legal process neces- sary to bring about a wage reduction. The legal steps toward reductions already have been started and today they brought about a request on the part of the unions that the presidents make sure of a few roads that had Promises to Clear Doubts. The railroads, on December 20 and | 21, filed notice of 15 per cent wage reductions. Under the railway act, unions are given 30 days to answer and offer to negotiate. When the pres- ent conference was decided on, most of the roads agreed not tq take any action of the unions on the' formal 15 per cent notices pending the outcome of the negotiations regarding a volun- tary cut. Because the conference might not be over when that 30-day period ended, the labor delegates asked that all of the roads make similar stipula- tions. President Willard promised to make every effort to have the matter cleared up. Willard refused to make public his plea on behalf of the railroads. Rob- ertson said his “very fine presenta- tion” of the reasons why the roads felt justified in asking the reduction touched on the decreased earnings of the carriers and on the changes in the cost of living.

DUALSLATERHONT | TURNS TO BUSTON Police There Watch Houses: for Suspects in Kiliing of Mrs. lisley and Maid. The widespread search for the sl ers of Mrs. Agnes Boeing Ilsley and her maid, Mrs. Mina Buckner, shifted to Boston last night, after Loudoun County, Va.. authorities received infor- mation indicating the fugitives might be hiding there. Boston police were watching two houses at which the murderers, accord- ing to the information given Sheriff E. S. Adrian of Loudoun County, were likely to appear at almost any time. The manhunt turned to the Massa- chusetts city after two “t'ps.” one re- ceived by Washington police and the other by Loudoun County authorities were found to be false. D. C. House Raided. One of the “tips"—that George Crawford. colored, whom investigators are virtually convinced participated in the dual killing, was hiding in a house in Hughes court, a colored block near Twenty-fifth -and K streets, caused 15 officers to be rushed there. While seven third precinct policemen surrounded the block, guarding all exits, eight headquarters detectives searched every house in the row, but found no trace of Crawford. Suspect Found Wrong Man. A short time before, Commonwealth’s Attorney John Galleher of Loudoun County received word a man answering Crawford's description had been seen walking along a road near Herndon, Va. The prosecutor, accompanied by Deputy Sheriffl Paul Alexander, sped along the thoroughfare in his automo- bile, finally discovering the man sitting beside the road. However, the man convinced Galla- her he was not the fugitive, several reputable farmers in the vicinity identi- fying him as a corn-shucker who had been working for them for some time. Woman Gives Boston “Tip.” At about the same time Baltimore Ppolice announced they had abandoned their quest for a man bearing the same name as Crawford. This was done after they found their quarry was dead. Adrian requested Boston police to make an intensive search for Craw- ford and his supposed accomplice after Mrs. Bertie Deneal, colored, admitted having acccmpanied the fugitive to the Massachusetts capital twice within the last several months. The woman, according to Adrian, said she and Crawford stayed at a Boston tea house last September 8 and at another address there on December 12. Suspect Wrote From Boston. ‘This information was in line with a statement made previously by a Wash- ington man for whom Crawford for- merly worked. The man, according to Inspector Frank 8. W. Burke, chief of the Detective Bureau here, told members of the homicide squad Craw- ford wrote to him from Boston a short time ago. At that time, it was said, Crawford explained he had “gone broke” and asked for a $10 loan. The theory Crawford might return to Boston was strengthened when several of his Loudoun County acquaintances told Galleher he had often spoken of “settling down” there. NATIONAL RELIEF URGED AS LEVEES FLOOD NEW AREAS —(Continued From First Page.) roe section, pushing upward, and levee crews continued to raise the dykes to prevent deeper inundation of West Monroe. Shreveport, on the upper Red River, Teported the flood spreading. At least 20,000 acres of lowlands between Gilliam and Shreveport are under water and 12.1(:% familles, most of them colored, have Rains Increase Danger. A Tepetition of the disastrous floods of 1630 in the Caddo ‘parish area were anticipated because of a new deluge of rains. Refugees were taken in care by re- lief committees and plantation owners. They were suffering from backwaters of Caddo Lake and Black Bayou. Ad- ditional rains, said relief agencies, would cause the setting up of refugee cnn:pa to dot the hills south of Shreve- port. Flood waters are reaching toward Bossier City, La., in adjoining Bossier Parish and Docheat Bayou, near Min- den, is in the raging stage. Highways were flooded near Alexan- dria, La. in the central part of the State and the Red River at that city is above flood stage, overflowing many acres of agricultural lands. Main levees on the east bank of the Tallahatchie River in Mississippi began bursting with such frequency and force today that sturdy fighters gave up the task of trying to save the water-logged walls and directed their attention to rescuing hundreds marooned in Tippo Basin. The crumbling section extends along the opposite side of the river from Glendora and between Charleston and Tippo in Tallahatchie County. 20,000 Acres Under Water. About 20,000 acres in Tippo Basin have been turned into a lake. Residents clung to house roofs until boats arrived. Others, warned that the entire levee system would give way, left home or went to high ground. E. P. Krick, Red Cross National Disaster ' Relief chairman, estimated that 325,000 acres were flooded by the Tallahatchie and other rivers in the counties of Tallahatchie, Leflore, Quit- man, Panola, Yazoo and Grenada. That no loss of lhfe occurred today after the crashing of the Tallahatchie dykes was explained by the fact that refugees knew from their past experi- ence in floods just what to do and just where to go before boats came for them. All the main levees and cross dykes in this community were abandoned as the river rose. Glendora, Swan Lake, ‘Webb and other towns on the west side of the river turned their major atten- tion to rescue work. Refugees are short of clothing and provisions and all box cars on the sidings were thrown into use for housing. ; Memphis, Tenn., sent 5000 loaves of bread to Glendora to feed the hungry. The business section of Glen- dora is flooded, but the bread was dis- pensed from a box car. Backwaters from Black Bayou has the higher residential section sur- rcunded. Refugees are camped on the railroad grade in Glendora. Some planters have criticized the aid being offered by the Red Cross as inadequate, but Mr. Krick replied with the statement the “Red Cross has never let anybody die of starvation or suffer fror. want or deprivation and never will. The needs are being met on a reeds basis. The Red Cross is han. diing the situation satisfactorily.” SWEDEN ASKS TAX RAISE| Alcohol, Tobacco and Incomes Hit by Budget Proposals. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Janua 16 (#)—New budget proposals, lnclruyding an extraordinary income tax and in- creased taxes on tobacco, alcoholic drinks and malt, were submitted to Parliament today. The new measures would increase the ‘taxes on alcoholic beverages by 60 ore per litre, or about 18 cents at the nor- mal raée of exchange. INDIAN MOB ROUTED AS RULE TIGHTENS One Killed and Two Injured. Many Arrests Force Rebels to Hide. By the Associated Press. BOMBAY, India, January 16.—One person was killed and two were injured when police fired into a mob that had stoned them at Berhampore, Bengal, today. England also continued her onslaught of ordinances against Mahatma Gandhi's legion of mnon-violent Nationalists throughout India. His feminine army of picketers, who previously had been relatively free from arrest, were being gathered in for urg- ing the Indian public to boycott British products. Their organizer-director, Dr. N. S. Hardikar, was arrested for his membership in' Gandhi’s Nationalist Congress, which has been outlawed. Regarded as Congress Chief. Dr. Hardikar, who has spent some time in the United States, is popularly referred to as “commander in chief of the congress forces.” Jamnala Bajaj, wealthy merchante philanthropist, acting treasurer of the Congress funds and a member of Gand- hi's cabinet, likewise was arrested on & similar charge. He had been sum- moned here for a peace conference by Pandit Malaviya, a leading negotiator of India with the British in the past. Thousands of other Nationalists throughout India, including a large number of students at Calcutta, also have been arrested. Gandhi appealed to the nation just before his recent imprisonment not to export gold, but India continues to ship the metal to England. Thus it is helpe ing to lift, financiers say, the depre< ciated British pound sterling to a high« er value. More than $9,000,000 in gold wae shipped to London today.
