HUNDREDS TRAPPED ALIVE BENEATH RUINS Long Rows of Injured Lie on Mats Along Roadside Scream- ing With Pain. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) TAIHOKU, Formosa, April 22— Fires broke out today in the ruins of several Northwestern Formosa com- munities where violent earthquakes yesterday killed at least 2,793 persons | and injured about 12,000. Streams of injured continued to straggle into the emergency hospital centers, while army carrier pigeons brought reports hourly of further devastation in remote sections. Two terrific earth shocks shook the populous sections of this Japanese island possession at dawn yesterday, | sending hundreds of flimsy dwellings crumbling about their sleeping in-| habitants. In many villages not a building was left standing. Entire families lost their lives. Hundreds of persons, trapped in debris, cried for help. Frantic relief workers, their efforts handicapped by insufficient equipment, were able to reach only a small percentage of the injured. Army Takes Over Relief. An army battalion stationed at ‘Taichu, in the center of the ravaged area, sent out 50 relief parties to set up field dressing stations. Gov. Gen. Kenji Nakagawa of Formosa announced 16,000,000 yen (about $4.500,000) in Japanese gov- ernment funds was available to aid the victims of one of the worst catas- trophes in modern Oriental history. It was understood that Emperor Hirohito also was to make a donation from the privy purse. Recurring after-shocks, combined with the outbreak of fires and the wail- ing of the injured and homeless, con- verted the period following the two main quakes into a nightmare of | terror.

Chemist Young Cereal Blades Should Be Dried and Eaten, He Holds. | By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 22.—Eating grass is better than eating carrots, spinach, lettuce or a dozen, other well-known vegetable greens, the American Chemical Society was in- formed today. C. F. Schnabel of Kansas City, who | made the report, said the great food value of grass had remained unknown because previous tests were made when the grass was too old. Old grass, he said, loses two-thirds of its food values. He tested young cereal grasses such ' as oats, wheat, barley and rye, cut- ting them before they formed their first joints. He said that one pound of this grass contained as much vita- min and “greens” value as 50 pounds | of lettuce. | By Schnabel’s method the grass is | dried and ground.

THIRD COMMUNICATION PRESENTED RECENTLY Hitler Expected to Emphasize Curt Reply to Criticism by League. By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 22.—A high author- itative soyfce disclosed today that Great Britain, France and Italy have made a strong joint protest to Lithu- ania regarding the treatment of the German element in Memel. The three powers, as principal guar- antors of the Memel statute, the source said, dispatched a note couched in firm language Friday, -calling Lithuania's attention to the fact that administrative affairs in the territory are now in the hands of Lithuanians| and urging that Germans be given their share of places on the statute directorate. | The powers, it was disclosed. re- ferred to the fact that the Memel Chamber has an overwhelming ma- jority of German members. - The note was the third protest the guarantors of the Memel statute have forwarded to Lithuania in recent weeks. It was said that the latest | communication was far more strongly phrased than the others. No formal reply has yet been re- ceived from Lithuania, but it was Linted she might stand by her pre- vious replies, in which she said her efforts to obtain German co-operation in administration of the statute have ! been unsuccessful in the past.

She said she paid $200 to two men unknown to her some time later for the same reason. Asked by Pugh why she paid hush money when she knew her association with Beall had been made public rec- ord in Mrs. Beall's divorce suit, the defendant replied she wished to avoid objectionable publicity.

A national jewelry robbery racket, alleged to involve a well-known pri- vate detective agency, has been un- covered by a special squad assigned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate a $200,000 jewelry rob- bery in Miami last January. As a result of the findings of this squad—which has been operating se- cretly out of headquarters here—there is being presented to a Federal grand jury in New York evidence which the Department of Justice expects to re- sult in indictment of the head of the agency and other alleged conspirators. The investigation, which has shut- tled members of the squad from New York to Miami in recent weeks, is believed by officials to spell the end of a business with underworld con- nections that has cost robbery vic- tims and insurance firms many thou- sands of dollars in recent years.

Turns Satire on Ickes. The Louisiana Senator said the newspapers have been much con- cerned about what cabinet members and near cabinet members have had to say about affairs in Louisiana. While the Louisiana Legislature has been in session, he said, a series of i Democrats of the committee. Most of the remaining members of the committee of 21 voiced acceptance lof N.R.

After hearing opinions from all quarters of the business world as well as from Hugh S. Johnson, original | Blue Eagle chief, the committee is considering a bill introduced by Sen- ator Harrison, Democrat, of Missis= sippi, committee chairman. Harri- son has expressed willingness to accept changes. The nearest approach to advocwy of extension of the act in its present form came from a Midwestern Repub- lican. “I am for it,” he said. “There may have to be a few changes. but not many. The N. R.

The jewels were traced by the squad from Miami to New York and back to Miami, where, it is alleged, the private detective, after conferences with a Jailed suspect and with a police offi- cial there, returned the jewels to Mrs. Bell through an intermediary. A similar scheme is reported to have been worked by the same private de- tective in the famous Donahue jewel robbery in New York City several years ago. The motto of the rac- keteers, it is declared. was, “We'll return your stolen goods if you don’t ask questions.” To Go Before Jury. Charles Cali and Nicholas Montone, New York underworld characters, who are being tried in Miami on charges of perpetrating the robbery of Mrs. Bell, will be taken before the Federal grand jury in New York City as soon as the Miami proceedings are concluded. A statement issued by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation, disclosed that Mrs. Bell's jewels were ‘“recovered” from a safety deposit box in Miami, and not from the parked automobile of Detective Chief Eugene Bryant of Miami, as heretoforg announced. It had been stated previously that Chief Bryant found the jewels in the bottom of his car after he had parked it in front of a hotel to keep a mysterious engagement made by phone with & man unknown to him. The man did not keep the appointment, but, it had been declared, the jewels were found when Bryant started to drive away. Key Given to Detective. According to Hoover's statement, however, the key to the lock box containing the jewels was turned over to Chiet Bryant by the New York private detective on March 18 last, and Bryant, - with C. Harrington, Miami representative of the New Yorker, opened the box and found the gems intact. It is reported that a British in- surance firm paid a reward to the private detective to effect return of the jewels in this case, and that simi- lar sums have been paid in other cases in which the alleged racket was ‘worked.
