Warner, superintendent of State police, received reports today that troop- ers had arrested 135 milk strike pickets last night or today in various parts of the State i Some were charged with inciting to riot. others with unlawful assembly and some with assault, Maj. Warner said. However, Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, after studying scores of reports from many sections of the State, declared that he believed “the milk strike is rapidly coming under control.” Says Situation Improved. “The reports that have come to me indicate that the strike situation is im- proving,” the Governor said tions have improved very greatly in the last few days. There have been fewer riots and the milk supply has been in- creasing. “In accordance with my instructions tc the district attorneys and the sheriffs throughout the State, there have been a very con le number of arrests. “I have told some of the sheriffs to put on additional deputies, even when they had taken on some. The sheriffs are now doirg their dut turbances in their count reduced as a result.” s have been Violence Decreases. Although violence in the strike de- creased notably during the past 24 hours, additional counties today hur- rledly prepared - to appoint special deputies under provisions of the Kernan bill signed by Gov. Herbert H. Lehman last night The measure, Tushed through the Legislature at the Governor's request permits sheriffs of counties, now pro- hibited from doing $o, to &ppuint as many deputies as they need to mamtain order during the milk strike. Refusing to call out the State Militia, Gov. Lehman has already sent word to all sheriffs and district attorneys that he expects them to protect the lives and Pproperty of non-strikers. “Condi- | s and the dis- ' [ THE EVENING UTILITIES ARE HELB TOBEUNDERN.R.A Blue Eagle Secretary Gives Status Answering New Hampshire Case.

Horishi ‘Yamagishi, leader of 10 naval officers undergoing court-martial charged with the assassination of Premier Suyoshi Inukai and other terroristic acts, tes- tifie¢ today that fears of “America’s ambition” motivated the terrorists. Testimony was produced to show that Yamagishi commanded the navel | officers who invaded the premier's resi- dence, and that he gave the command “fire” which loosed the fatal shots. After he had made his anti-American statement, the court room was ordered cleared and the hearing continued in secret. at_the Yokosuka naval base. The lieutenant declared that he and the other officers feared the United States would attempt what he called further domination of Japan and the Orient in 1936, when revision of the ‘Washington and London naval treaties is due. He testified that his group was de-| termined to “attempt the reconstruc-| tion of the empiré before that crisis arose.” The testimony of the Neutenant forméd the keynote of all the evidence heard thus far in-the naval trial, of which today’s session was the eleventh.

Yamagishi’s ‘“reconstruction” was extremely simple. It entailed the eliminaticn of parties and cabinets stnn?jng between the Emperor and the e. “Our guiding principles,” the lieuten- ant told the court, “are neither fascism nor radicalism. We desire simply to establish a state in which the Emperor’s subjects all are one national people, be- coming one nation and all the people becoming the Emperor’s children.” Similar testimony was heard at an army court-martial in Tokio at which 11 army cadets involved in the Inukai terrorism are being tried. The army court completed hearing evidence and a judgment is expected August 14. Premier Unukai was slain in his offi- cial residence May 15, 1932, and at the same time numerous Tokio buildings were attacked by terrorists. Among these bulldings were the office of the Metropolitan Police Board, the Cherry Village Gate of the Imperial Bank of Japan and the im- Bank. - . . | Vocational Education, which | absorbed into the Interior Department, will hold on until September 30, when any reduction due will be put through. Some 40 workers in the Co-ordinative Service have been given a respite at least to October 10. due to delay in forming the new division of procure- ment in the Treasury Department. These dates were fixed by presidential orders modifying the original reorgani- zation order. The hold-up of the projected divisions both of procurement (and disbursing, which are scheduled now to be established some time be- fore—or on—December 31, was a de- velopment which undoubtedly produced | the largest immediate saving of jobs, | inasmuch as these centralized agencies are to take over work now performed in individual units.
