There was no further word from the sea search today. The Coast Guard craft plenned to make no report to the New Jersey State police, in charge of the murder hunt, until there was some efinite word.

Received Brief Education. Capt. Dollar became known as the “Grand Old Man of the Pacific” because of his activities in fostering commercial relations with China and the Far East in general. He purchased his first ship, Newsboy, a =mall tub of 300 tons, as an adjunct to His lumbering operations in Califor- nia. By 1921 the Dollar Steamship Co. had an imposing fleet. Ten years later he directed the build- ing of the 22-knot, electrically driven liners, President Coolidge and President Hoover, each 653 feet long with accom- modations for 1,200 passengers and a crew of 300. The Newsboy made 7 or 8 knots in good weather, was 120 feet long, had a crew of 11 and carried no passengers. In addition to controlling coastwise ocean travel along the Pacific States, his steamships were the only American passenger vessels running to the Orlent. | He received numerous honors, includ- ing three decorations by Chinese rulers, and made many charitable bequests. He received a brief but fundamental education in a public school presided over by a crippled schoolmaster, whose zeal in chastising students led them to thank Providence he had only one arm. “In the Pacific lies the future center of the world's commercial development,” Dollar was fond of saying. PASTOR DENOUNCES MURDERERS OF BABY Congregation Applauds Dr. Albert J. McCartney as He Calls for l“ight, Against Crime. A fashionable Connecticut avenue congregation was stirred to applause yesterday when Rev. Dr. Albert Joseph McCartney, , pastor of the Covenant- First Presbyterian Church, in his morn- ing ermon expréssed the hope that the kidnaping and murder of the Lindbergh baby would bring America to its senses in the face of the crime wave. “If this crime cannot kindle such a flame of righteous indignation that shall help purge this Nation of its law- lessness,” Dr. McCartney declared. “then God help America, for she is lost, utterly lost, and it is but a ques- tion of time until our boested land of | freedom shall find herself in common | | destiny with Nineveh and Tyre." Dr. McCartney said it takes a tragedy | like the Lindbergh crime to shock the | world to its senses and added that if | “the heart of the Nation, shocked by the pititful remains of yonder little child in Hopewell, can only be galvan- ized into a vast determination to change the whole face of human coclety, to have millions make a vow to God as one man to come away from our wor- ship of false gods and our alliance with lust and adultery and greed and our casual attitude toward lawlessness, then some blessing may be distilled from this cup of woe." .

Schwarzkopf advanced the belief that the person to whom Dr. Condon hed gifen the ransom money in a Bronx cemetery April 2, might commit some minor infraction of the law to be placed in jail, where he would feel safe untll the close of the police investigation into the kidnaping and murder of the Lind- bergh baby. In such an event, Col. Schwarzkopt sald, the man could be easily appre- hended if Dr. Confion were present when nrisoners are marched across the line-up platform, and giving him an added opportunity of recognizing the voice of the man with whom he talked in Woodlawn Cemetery and Van Cort- landt Park in the Bronx before he de- livered the ransom money.

CLEVELAND, May 16.— Attorneys who fought the now abandoned merger of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation were denied their claims that the ‘Youngstown company should pay their fees In a referee’s opinion given today by John T, Scott. ‘The opinion, rendered for the Mahon- ing County courts, involves fees esti- mated by various attorneys at from $600,000 to $1,000,000. Scott was appointed to referee the matter after a motion was flled to dis- miss the litigation which had held up the proposed billion-dollar merger. ponents had obtained an injunction the consolidation. It was ap- pealed by proponents of the deal, but after the appeal was filled the merger contract was canceled. The anti- merger attorneys put in their claim for fees when the motion to drop the ap- 1 was filed. Scott held there was no cause of | action since the merger was enjoined. The dispute was the last echo of an epic battle of modern industrial history. The merger, itself cead for some time, | would have created a $1,000,000,000 concern. The struggle, known as a battle of “Ohio versus Wall Street” began in March, 1930, when Cyrus S. Eaton, Cleveland financier, and the largest in- dividual stockholder in Sheet and Tube, heard of the plans for merging with Bethlehem. He promptly began & proxy war in which millions were spent by both sides. Eaton himself was estimated to have spent around $8,000,000. Charges that the proposed exchange of four shares of Bethlehem for three shares of Sheet and Tube was inequitable were made by Eaton and his associates. The merger, however, was ratified by the necessary two-thirds majority of the stockholders on April 9, 1930. Eaton then went to the Mahoning County courts and obtained an injunction re- straining the union on the ground that | stockholders had not been properly consulted. The merger forces appealed, but later | Bethlehem -exercised its privilege of canceling the contract. Attorneys for the Eaton group stepped in and request- ed their fees be paid by Sheet and Tube. They contended they had saved the company several million dollars by their suit. BIG HEATING PLANT WORK THREATENED $750,000 Expenditure Forbidden by Duffie of House Group as Time for Bids Nears.

Problems pressing for sclution, now before Congress and the country, will be discussed by Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinols in the National Radio Forum at 9 o'clock (Eastern standard time) tonight. The Natlonal Radio Forum is arranged by The Washington Star and broadcast over the Nation- wide network of the National Broad- casting Co. ‘With Congress making a final drive to complete legislation to balance the budget and maintain public confidence in the financial structure of the Gov- ernment and also laying plans for a relief program to be enacted into law, Senator Lewis' discussicn of these probiems will be particularly timely. Efforts are under wgy to bring about non-partisan action on a relief pro- gram designed for use in emergency. Senator Lewis will speak cf the situ- ation of the political parties in Congress and the need for constructive action which will reassure the country. The Iilinols Senator is the choice of his State’s delegation to the Democratic national ccnvention for the nomination for President.

Just previously, Senator Barbour (Republican of New Jersey) had de- manded legalization and taxation of beer, predicting confidence would re- turn overnight as a result. Barbour said the country wants relief in the form of a balanced budget and pointed out that $284,000,000 was raised by taxing liquor in 1917. Prohibition, he said, is “definitely in- volved in the economic situation.” “‘We find on every side increasing dis- satisfaction _with conditions brought about by prohibition,” he added. “The sale of alcohclic beverages has not been prohibited by prohibition.” Early Vote Expected. An early vote was expected on the Couzens amendment. However, Chair- man Smoot of the Pinance Committee was confident, and so were Democratic leaders, that the amendment would be defeated soundly, and that the Senate would proceed then to approve the whole revenue bill, substantially un- changed from its present form. Meanwhile the relief issue, requiring less immediate decision, was hanging on a peg while the Democratic Sena- tors sought to get together on a modi- fication of the 3$1,500,000,000 plan of- fered as a compromise between Presi- dent Hoover and Democratic Leader Robinson. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York, who has been working on the subject & long time, proposed a plan of his own today. Although his views have been way out of line with the President's, he forecast a satisfac- tory soiution. Bond TIssue Indorsed. Strong support for a Federal bond issue to finance a gigantic public con- struction program came today from a group of economists, college professors and business men.

BY MARK SULLIVAN. The heart of what is now going on as respects the business situation lies between Washington and New York. Washington is taking the steps de- signed to balance the budget. New York is watching those steps like a ship captain watching signs of the ending of storm. This relation of ‘Washi n as actor and New York as watcher comprises the center of the present economic picture. If it looks as if the budget be balanced, New York is ready to start, not full steam ahead, but nevertheless forward. The concerte question will Congress balance the budget? The psychological question, equally material at the mo- ment, is, will New York believe that Congress will balance the budget? In this psychological situation, the prevailing judgment of the more im- portant sections of New York is that Congr will probably fail to take the full steps necessary to balance the bud- get. ie mood of a highly placed sec- tion of New York opinion is one of almost stubborn pessimism. Because New York is a center fr which news opinion flows cut to the country. the mood of New York tends to infect the Nation. New York also in- fects Europe; and Europe prevailingly thinks Congress will not balance the budget and is therefore selling Ameri- can securities. Thus fear grows by what it feeds upon. Beneath it all. the fundamental question is whether New York is right in tending to as- sume the budget will not be balanced. Judgment Questioned. 1In to thedisposition of New York to lean toward the pessimistic side some causes enter, which are not material to the present situation and which tend to mislead New York in the direction of expecting the worst. The New York financial communpity has had practical- ly continuous rough sailing for more than two years. TRis has given New York such an extreme tendency toward pessimism as to raise a question whether New Jork’s judgment about present events at Washington is sound. The answer hangs on the fundamen- tal question, will Congress actually bal- ance the budget? The best Washington judgment about the answer is decidedly that it will. There may yet be another flare-up in Congress such as has dis- mayed the country twice since the mid- dle of March and it may be necessary to have another wave of pressure from the country upon Congress. In the end, however. Congress will pass ap- proximately the tax bill as it now stands, or a stronger cne, and will enact approximately the program of economy as_originally laid out. In saying the best judgment is that Congress qualifications should be added. Con- gress will not and cannot balance the budget to the exact penny or dollar, or even within a hundred or two hundred million dollars. This qualification is not material. If the business men and economists throughout the world. now watching Congress, see the budget bal- anced within say three hundred million dollars, they will be sufficiently assured that the sound direction has been taken. Element of Esiimate. The other qualification is inherent in the situation. The process of balancing possible to state with exactness. There is to be, for example, a certain rate of commodities. What this tax will yield depends upon quantity of future sales. ‘Washington has made what it regards ’ulel, If sales fall below that estimate the tax will to that extent fail to yield the estimated amount of money. This 4 element of estimate necessarily runs all ! through the problem of balancing the | budget. business future, psychological battle between pessimism and optimism. If pessimism wins, less automobiles may be sold than the esti- mate. If optimism wins, more will be sold. In the one case the budget-will to that extent fail to balance. In the other case receipts by the Treasury will be more than enough to balance the bud- | get. As respects Washington, the con- | crete keystone of fact is that processes | are under way which the best judgment believes will result in adoption of sub- stantially all the measures designed to bring the budget to balance. Another matter separate from bal- ancing the budget is the proposed ar- rangement by which the Federal Gov- |ernment may make or underwrite loans, probably limited to States or to | solvent corporations, with which the latter can finance self-liquidating pub- lic or semi-public works. The total of such loans, if made, will not be a charge upon the budget. Only the an- nual interest charges would figure in i the budget. Moreover, the States and corporations borrowing the money would be expected to reimburse the Federal Government for the interest. The pre- cise form of this proposed relief for unemployment is not yet fixed In any event. this step will not be taken until after passage of the measures which will balance the budget. So far as the financial community’s anxiety is about balancing of the budget, the answer is that Washington is very confident it will be done. ——e McKELLAR IS BETTER Tennessee Senator Out of Danger of Pneumonia Attack.

INUKAI SECOND TOKIO PREMIER ASSASSINATED WITHIN YEA |List of Recent Violence Victims Includes' Foreign Minister and Baron. Many Plots Elsewhere. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 16.—Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown! Premier Tsuyoshi Inukal of Japan, who was slain yesterday by a group of military assassins, is the second Japanese premier to die by violence in less than a_year. Former Premier Yuko Hamaguchi was shot by a student in November, 1930, and died from the effects of his wounds in August last year. Before him, Premier Takashi Hara was as- sassinated in 1921. Finance Minister Junnosuke Inouye was slain last February by a member of a Japanese “Patriotic” society and less than a month later Baron Dan, director of the vast interests, also was led by an assassin. On April 29 the president of the Japanese Residents’ Association was slain by a bomb thrown into a review- stand at Shanghai. ‘nf\mnd the rest of the world as- sassins also have been active. President Paul Doumer shot and killed at Paris on May 6 by an assassin, Dr. Paul Gorgulov, identi- fied as a “White” Russian. President Luls Sanchez Cerro of Peru was shot and wounded March 6. On May 5 a bomb which was intended for Premier Sidky Pasha of Egypt ex- ploded prematurely on the railroad tracks near Tor, on the Sinal Penin- sula, shortly before the premier's train passed. Police arrested 200 persons in Libson, Portugal, in mid-January in connection President Oscsr Carmona and Antonio Oliviera, minister of finance. Turkish police last October disclosed that an attempt had been made to as- sassinate Premier Ismet Pasha. Two men attempted to assissinate Dr. Hcus Luther, president of the German Reichsbank, on April 9 in Berlin. A bomb was removed from St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome last February after what was believed to have been a to slay Pope Pius XI or Premier solint. - with what they said was a plot to kill | PREMIERS SLAVG IS LA T0 UPRGNG Country Appears Quiet After Army and Navy Cadets Spread Terror.

At approximately the same time the premier was attacked five other groups of young men swung into action. One of them attacked the metro- politan police office with hand grenades, but did little damage. A policeman and a newspn'y;: x;m were wounded, how- ever, as Trorists sped down the street shooting. Another group bombed the headquar- ters of the Seiyukai party, inflicting slight damage. Bombs also were placed at the Bank of Japan and the Mitsu- bishi Bank, slightly damaging the build- ings. home of Count Makino, lord keeper of the privy seal and onme of Emperor Hirohito's closest advisers, also was bombed, with slight d: 3 Police reserves were mobilized through- out the city.

Premier Inukai will be given a state funeral Wednesday under the auspices of the Seiyukal party. Acting Premier Takahashi will head the Funeral b mittee, The consensus today was that the outbreak lacked the backing of any re- sponsible authority and the quick de- nunciations of the war and navy min- isters was cited as proof of this. The porpetrators were described as young- sters imbued with a mistaken sense of | patriotism, unable to find support for such direct action. Country Appears Quiet. The country as a whole appeared quiet and there were no signs of any anti-foreign movement. Premier Inukai was born in 1855, of a_ prominent family in the town of Okayama-Ken, in the far Southwestern part of the main Japanese Island of Hondo. He was educated in the ex- lusive private university, Keilo, in Tokio, d married the daughter of a prome inent resident of the capital. He was editor of the Hochi Shimbun, large Toklo newspaper, when the late | Emperor Meiji was preparing to give Japan representative government. He was active in the political campaigns that preceded the formation ~° ths first representative ministry in 1890. He spent much time ebread. he'd a number of cabinet posts, en vas b~-q of the Seiyukal party, when ths v7~* suki cabinet resigned last Danemb~= Ax head of the opposition party hs was ca'ed to form a cabinet.

On November 14, 1930, Premier Yuko {Hamaguchi was shot by a student and |in August. 1931, he died from the ef- {fects of his wounds.

The killing of Premier Inukai appears to be the work of young army officers. For some time there has been fric- tion between the civilian and military arms of the Japanese government, re- sulting from the subjugation of Mane churia and the Shanghal expedition. Tokio dispatches have told of senti- ment in the army for a firmer govern- ment policy and recently there has been talk of the possibility of a Japa- nese movement somewhat akin to Fas- cism PREMIER LIVED IN fon or U. 8. Baron Takahashi Helped Raise Loans Here Years Ago. Baron Takahashi, the Japanese min- ister of finance who became acting premier upon the death of Premier Inukai, lived in the United States for several months, 65 years ago. Some time after his retirn to Japan he taught English in several Japanese schools and then entered the govern- ment service in the department of commerce and argiculture. In 1890 Takahashi went to Peru to engage in a silver mine enterprise. This was not a success and he returned to Japan and entered the Bank of Japan. He was government agent for Japan in raising loans in the United Stites in 1904 and 1906 and was created a baron in 1907. In 1913 he resigned from the bank to become finance min- ister in the Yamamoto cabinet. He was prime minister for six months in 1917. He is 77 years old. Highest officlals of the government extended their own sympathy and that of the American people upon learning of the assassination of Premier Inukai. | _“I am deeply grieved at the death of Premler Inukal,” Secretary Stimson said last night upon his arrival home from New York and the Geneva Arms Con- ference. “My sincere sympathy is with his family.” Earlier President Hoover, who was in- formed of the tragedy after returning from a walk along Pennsylvania avenue with Mrs. Hoover, also voiced his sor- row. He immediately communicated | with A:Ul&lm of State Castle, | who sent following message to win L. Neville, American charge faires at Tokio: “Please express to the foreign office on behalf of the American Gevernment and people deep sympathy wita the Japanese government and people in this hour of national bereavement.” ‘W. Cameron Forbes, former Ambassa- dor at Japan who was visiting the West Point Military Academy to address the corps of cadets on the Philippine Is- lands. when informed Premier Inukai's assassination said: “I am greatly shocked to hear the sad news. I had hoped we had sesn an end of assassination of high offi- cials in Japan. Inukal was a personal lrbn'd who Ifld“:é'lyl treated lnexwlth great courtesy consideration. re- gard his death as a great Joss to his countzg.”
