Japanese civilians are not harmed so far, the reports say, although those in Manchuli and Hailar took refuge for self-protection in the con- sulate compounds. ‘There are no fears for the safety of two Britishers, Col.

Identified and Shot. Numerous reports of summary action show the temper of the Chinese. A Mukden Chinese, who had arrived at Manchuli two days previous to the incident to become chief of police, dis- guised himself in coolie clothes and escaped on a third-class coach of an outgoing train. At the next station soldiers identified him, shot him and tossed his body out of the car. A Russian employe of the Manchukuo customs office was shot while running toward the Soviet frontier, while Capt. Obata, head of the Japanese military mission, and a “Mr. Ono,” commander of the mixed gendarmerie, are included among 150 Japanese known to be missing. It is reported that a force of 8,000 Chinese are gathered around the Heilun terminus of the railroad, north of Har- bin, while a freight train was said to have been stopped 10 miles east of Harbin and its crew kidnaped yester- day. Night trains on the Harbin- Changchun line have been canceled and day trains, while still scheduled, are frequently fired upon.

Smith, Demo- cratic candidate for President in 1928, was characterized by the keynote speaker, Representative J. Hamilton Fish, as “the man with perhaps the largest personal following in the United States,” as the Republican State Con- vention opened today.

Crosby indicated he would not make the reports public, saying he would bring them before the full Board of Commis- sioners for consideration. The first document explains in detail the present situation in both the De- tective Bureau and administrative head- quarters, Gen. Glassford said, while the appendix lists specific allegations of In- spector Burke's failure to *‘co-operate” with the police superintendent. Burke, who is still on duty in the of- fice of chief of detectives, said he would make specific answers to Glassford's charges as soon as he was apprised of their nature. A change in the reports was made this morning by Gen. Glass- ford. Originally planning to? submit only one report citing the reasons for Burke's sudden removal, Gen. Glassford this morning summoned his secretary, | Joseph Hansen, to his home and “re-| vamped” the document, splitting it into two separate reports. Gen. Glassford said there was noth- ing m the reports for the Commilssio: ers either to approve or disapprove, ex- plaining they were merely an explana- tion of “the situation here” and “my reasons for requesting the retirement of Inspector Burke.” Examination Tomorrow. Approval or disapproval of Gen. Glass- ford’s action will come, the police chief said, when the Commissioners have re- ceived the recommendation of the Re- tiring and Relief Board before which Inspector Burke is scheduled to appear Thursday. The veteran inspector will be examined by the Board of Police and Fire Surgeons tomorrow at the board's regular meeting. His application for re- tirement was submitted Friday, only four hours after Gen. Glassford had or- dered him to choose between immediate retirement or removal as chief of de- tectives and demotion to the rank of inspector. By virtue of his office as chief of detectives, he now has the rank and pay of an assistant superintendent of police. Burke chose to retire, rather than re- main in the department as an inspector, because, by retiring as an assistant su- perintendent, he will receive $250 more annually than a an 3 Meanwhile, Burke's friends continue to rally to his support and it was ex- | in continue him his | . an effort to present post. |of Col.

The delegates had before them the task of drawing a slate of State officials, selecting a candidate for United States | Senator and nominees for the two new | congressional districts, the choosing of | electors for the presidential election and the drafting and adoption of a State platform. A strong feeling that Davison would agree to a draft of himself for lieu- tenant governor was augmented by the emark of State Chairman W. Kings- land Macy that he did not believe Davison's withdrawal precluded his se- lection for some other place on the ticket. The prohibition plank in the plat- form was expected to follow the sug- gestions of President Hoover. Two names offered for the United States senatorial candidacy were those of George Z.
