JAPANESE SLOWLY ENGULF CHAHAR Province Declared Suc- cumbing to Tokio’s Influ- ence Under Pressure. By the Assoctated Press. KALGAN, Chahar Province, China, June 20~—Business mern and officials of this picturesque frontier city at China’s historic great wall sald today 1t would take more than apologies to save Chahar and inner Mongolia for «China. Japanese influences were seen as engulfing this city relentlessly, irre- sistibly and, to a large extent, in- | visibly. In the belief of the majority here it will be only a matter of time until Kalgan, the surrounding terri- tory and all Chahar is either peace- fully or forcefully reduced to the same status &3 Hopel Province, where conditions. are - similar:to those of & Pprotectorate. g Chinese Troops Passive. Only the army of Gen. Sung Cheh- Yuan, the ousted govermor, now blocks the path of Japanese expan- slon, Japanese army airplanes fre- quently fly over Kalgan, swooping so low that they almost graze the house- tops. However, Gen. Sung’s blue-clad troops, warned against provocative action, never lift a rifle. A year ago, the Japanese popula- tion of Kalgan was scarcely half a dozen; today it totals scores, and almost every train from Peiping brings more to swell the newly-established Japanese colony which has grown up around the fortress-like structure here which constitutes the Japanese con- sulate. Many Concessions Made. ‘What supports the Japanese popula=- tion is & matter of conjecture, but its members frequently appear in the streets in Chinese garb. In an effort to postpone positive Japanese measures, the provincial au- thorities have made numerous con- cessions; they abolished the branches of the Kuomingtang, the Chinese people’s party; they checked anti- Japanese activities; they granted those who are coming in the free run of Eastern Chahar, where Manchukuan troops move about at will; they even, according to responsible foreigners, are permitting the construction of a Japanese airdrome near the city. Many of the wealthier residents taking no chances, are moving their wealth and belongings to places of greater safety. CHINESE PLEA RECEIVED HERE. University Chancellor’s Appeal Likely to Be Ignored. By the Associated Press. The State Department today ac- knowledged receipt of & cablegram from Chancellor Chow Lu of Sun Yat Sen University in Canton appealing for aid against Japanese aggression in North China. Officials said Secretary Hull had no comment. What, if any, action he might take on the chancellor’s request that copies of his message beé'-for- warded to all signatories of the nine- power treaty was not disclosed. Since Chow Lu is a private citizen and not an official of the Chinese gov- ernment, it was indicated that no action would be taken. 2 PAYS FOR OWN FUNERAL LOS ANGELES, June 20 (P).— Nathan Fishkin, 35, arranged for his funeral two months ago. Yesterday the mortuary received an unsigned letter which read: “This is to notify you that Nathan Fishkin is dead.” At about the same hour a man leaped to his death from the traffic bridge on Sixth street. In his pocket police sald they found papers identifying him as Fishkin. ‘The note also directed officers to the mortuary where he had paid in ad- vance for his funeral. No motive was established for the suicide. Young Atlanta Artist Paints Actor & Miss Kitty Butner Devoting but a week to the task, Misg Kitty Butner, youthful artist of Atlanta, has completed a portrait of Paul Bradbury Walter as Paris, a role he plays in “Helena’s Husband,” to be presented next Monday at the Na- tional Sylvan Theater by the Wash- ington Community Players. Miss Butner has just returned to Atlanta after several weeks’ visit with her uncle, Col. Leroy W. Herron, ad- vertising manager of The Star, at his home, at 3111 Garfleld street. Later she plans to spend some time in New York. The young artist has been doing Walter in Week. murals and portraits since she was 14 and has painted several well-known and prominent people of Atlanta. While here she did portraits of Col. Herron and of Thomas S. Shaw of the Library of Congress. She is & member of the Southern Btates Art League, which holds an annual exhikbit of outstanding work in some Southern city and then takes the exhibit on tour. Miss Butner has a portralt in the 1935 exhibit, which, it is understood, will be shown in ‘Washington later. Washington critics have been lib- eral in their praise of Miss Butner's Kentucky Prehistoric Miner * May Yield Science New Clue By the Assoclated Press. MAMMOTH CAVE, Ky., June 20.— Kentucky's prehistoric miner today became the mystery man of America archeology—holding what experts de- clare may be a key to a rich, new chapter of science. X Alonzo W. Pond, National Park Service archeologist, and Louis Shell- bach, assistant chief of the N. P. 8. Museum Division, said that if research realizes the possibilities suggested by the miner, the discovery would be one of the most valuable ever made in North America. By air and rail they hurried here, when the miner’s taut corpse bared this melodrama: Before Columbus saw Ameries this brawny savage put away his terror of evil spirits and crawled 4 miles in Mammoth Cave’s blackness, with reeds for & torch. Under & 5-ton rock he lay and dug, as hundreds cf his race had, with what rocks came to hand. His blows loosed the rock. He sensed its fall, drew up his' legs to leap. He was not quick enough. The rock crunched down, stopped- him in midspring, jerked his elbow from lis socket, snapped off his forearm, dis- located his shoulder. He was pinned four centuries. The cave's nitrogen and steady tempera- ture dried him where he died, so that today he is still in midleap and looks apt to complete it at any moment. Guides Grover Campbell and Lyman Cutliff found him thus. Pond and Shellbach pointed to thousands of nicks in the limestone, made with crude handpicks. Rotten sandstone had been dug out far back under the limestone. Pond sdid these argued that many Indians dug as the miner did.
