'A—12 = MISS WARE OPENS FIGHT FOR BABY Disputes Motherhood Claim of Woman in Kelley Kid- nap Probe. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, September 21.—Miss Anna Ware, 19, emerged from a week's seclusion today, appeared at the office of the county prosecutor and began a legal fight to regain her month-old baby which, she charged, is in the home of Mrs. Nellie Tipton Muench, once a prominent society woman, who is awaiting trial as a kidnaper of Dr. Isaac D. Kelley. Mrs. Muench, sister of a State Su- preme Court justice and wife of a well-known physician, scoffed at Miss ‘Ware's accusations, offering to let the young mother view the baby in the Muench home and said she was willing to undergo an official examination to determine whether she recently un- derwent motherhood. Called Gift of God. The Ware infant, a boy, disappeared August 17 and the Muenches an- nounced the birth of a son to them the following day. At the time Mrs. Muench, referred to the child as “a gift from God in my time of despair.” THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

This development recently evoked a | statement from the Tokio foreign of- fice charging that “interested con- cerns in the United States” were | “feverishly agitating for the exclusion of Japanese goods” from Latin Amer- ica. On this agitation was blamed “the recent tendency of these coun- tries to denounce their treaties with Japan,” with the result that “our exports have suffered a considerable decline.” Official returns for the first rour’ months of 1935 showed that Japanese exports to all four of the treaty-abro- gating states gained from 30 to 400 per cent over the corresponding period of 1934.
