To n xai u v Protect the foreign Dr. w. w. Yen settlement, t o o r regiments of American marines and several battalions of British troops were standing by, and warships of those nations were hurrying to the scene. Meanwhile, before the council of the League of Nations In Geneva Dr. W. W. Ten, the Chinese minister min-ister to the United States, set forth his country's side of the controversy controver-sy and demanded that the council enforce the league covenant without with-out delay. In' Washington President Presi-dent Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson were considering what America might do In the crisis. They proposed to Great Britain that the two nations apply econom ic embargoes or boycotts to trade with Jnpan, but the MacDonnld government seemed reluctant to do anything more than to dispatch warships for the protection of the International settlement. The mayor of Shanghai had yield- ed to the Japanese demands, but new demands were put forward and immediately thereafter the Japanese marines were landed an-! ' proceeded to seize Chapel, the Chinese Chi-nese quarter. As they swept through the district they encountered encoun-tered the desperate resistance of several thousand Chinese troops, whereupon plones were brought Into action and Chapel was thoroughly thor-oughly bombed. Conflagrations nearly destroyed the densely populated pop-ulated quarter and the fatalities were undoubtedly , heavy. The bloody battle continued for hours and at one time the Chinese do-fenders do-fenders bad recaptured the Important Impor-tant north railroad station. The Japanese had previously made their way across the Whangpoo rivet to Pootung, site of big Japanese cotton cot-ton mills, and evidently Intended to advance further Into Chinese territory. terri-tory. Also they had shelled and occupied Woosung. the fort at the mouth of the Whangpoo. Their warships at the same time had gone up the langfse and three cruisers were lying off Nanking ready to shell that capital city. The Chinese Nationalist government was busily mobilizing all Its strength and calling on the League of Nations for help. Chiang Kai-shek, Kai-shek, former president, was made premier and apparently was virtually vir-tually the dictator. WllAT course theUnlted States government would follow was uncertain, but the stiffening of Its policy toward Japanese encroachments encroach-ments was Indicated by the sending send-ing of four more warships to Chinese Chi-nese waters from Manila. They were destroyers and their presence was requested by Rear Admiral T. S. Williams, commander of the Tangtse patrol. Secretary Stimson cable to Tokyo asking the Intentions of Japan and received what was called a reassuring reassur-ing reply, but It was stated In Washington that President Hoover was proceeding on the theory that Japan would be violating International Interna-tional law If she landed troops on Chinese soil for any purpose but the protection of Japanese Nationals Nation-als and their property. Russia came Into the picture again when Japan asked permission permis-sion to use the Chinese Eastern railway In Mancharla to transport troops to Harbin, where Chinese soldiers were marauding. Russia flatly refused the request. WHEN the league council had heard both Dr. W. W. Ten and Naotake Sato, the Japanese delegates, dele-gates, Joseph Paul-Boncour, who replaced Brland as chairman, warned Japan to go easy at Shanghai, Shang-hai, ne admitted that the situation situa-tion was. gravs. Ten not only relies on the nine-power treaty and the Kellcgg pact, but he also threatened to tnvoke Article XV of the league covenant, which Is followed by Article XVI. and the latter Is the one that provides for sanctions against nations that resort to war. Furthermore, "war" might well be made to cover such operations as those f the Japanese against the So-called Chinese bandits. Some of the nations In the league are mighty timid in the matter of sanctions. sanc-tions. Ten in his talk took stronger position than the Chinese have previously taken before the eooncll and his characterization of Sir Erlo Drummond the acts of Japan was forcible and uncompromising. He complained, too, about the slowness In the formation for-mation of the league's commission of Inquiry and In Its getting to Manchuria, Man-churia, where it will not arrive until un-til April. HAVING abandoned the reparations repara-tions conference in Lausanne, France and Great Britain are still trying to solve the problem without the aid of the United States. Premier Pre-mier Laval In conversation with Lord Tyrrell, British ambassador, suggested a temporary plan, calling for moratorium on reparations until after the American elections. The moratorium would expire before be-fore December 15, when the next French payment to the United States Is due. After the French elections In May and before expiration of the new moratorium a conference would be called at Lausanne or elsewhere to negotiate a permanent agreement. Such a plan would be In line with the American attitude that Germany's Ger-many's reparations creditors agree among themselves before the question ques-tion of adjusting war debts Is broached. ONE notable result of the whole Mancburlan affair Is the announced an-nounced determination of Sir Eric Drummond to relinquish, early next year, his position as secretary general gen-eral of the League of Nations. He ha held that office since the days of the peace conference and has been a most Important figure fig-ure In the organlza tlon. Several gov ernments sharply criticized the secretariat secre-tariat because of the extreme position posi-tion taken by the league at the beginning of the Man-churlan Man-churlan embrogllo, and some diplomats diplo-mats accuse Sir Eric of trying to force the powers into committing themselves to action In defense of the covenant which might have led to war with Japan. Sir Eric was evidently disgusted with what he considered the weuk action of the league council, especially espe-cially at the Purls session, and felt that the league had suffered great loss of prestige. The other league officials do not wish to lose his services and It was considered possible pos-sible they might prevail on him to change his mind about resigning. This, however, seemed likely only If the council would take a sterner attitude at-titude toward Japan. SEVERE loss was sustained by both the business and the sporting sport-ing world In the death of William Wrlgley, Jr which occurred at his winter home In Phoenix, Ariz. The Chicago capitalist, known universally univer-sally as the magnate of chewing gum and the owner of the Chicago Cubs' of the National Baseball league, had many other and vast Interests, Including In-cluding banks, mines, .real estate projects and the moving picture Industry. In-dustry. Born In Germantown, Pa, 70 years ago, he ran away at the age of eleven and starter" business In New Tork as a newsboy. In ISfll he went to Chicago and formed his own company, which soon began the manufacture of chewing gum and was vastly successful. All his varied enterprises resulted result-ed In bringing Mr. Wrlgley a great fortune. Estimates by his associates asso-ciates ranged anywhere from $30,-000,000 $30,-000,000 to $100,000,000. He was the majority stockholder In the $03,000.-000 $03,000.-000 William Wrlgley, Jr company, whose earnings In 1030 exceeded $12,000,000. WHATEVER may be the Anal outcome, Lieut. Thomas U. Massle of the American navy, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Granville For-tescue, For-tescue, and E. J. Lord and Albert O. Jones, will not have to pay the death penalty for the killing kill-ing of Joseph Ka- hahawal In Honolulu, Hono-lulu, suspected at-'.acker at-'.acker of Mrs. Massle. Mas-sle.

Carl J. Schmidlapp, a vice presi dent of the bank, said $500,000 bad gone to Jose Obregon as an official of the Chase company's Cuban branch for distribution to the banks that took part in the loans. He said the relative of the Cuban president had only a minor part In the negotiating nego-tiating the loan and denied be was employed for that purpose. Herbert D. Brown, chief of the United States bureau of efficiency, testified that a report he had made of conditions In Panama had been changed by officials of the Na tlonal City bank. He said his report re-port had pointed out a way by which the country could avoid bor rowing, but that the bank went ahead and loaned It $4,000,000.

Mr. King occupied the executive offices In Baton Rouge and had heavy guards stationed there. T'WICE In two days the advo- :ates of a large navy were bad ly Jolted.

There over the spot where Lincoln's Lin-coln's body lies beneath many feet of concrete has been placed a new sarcophagus of solid marble of warm red hue. On It is the simple inscription : "Abraham Lincoln, 1S00 1805" Directly above what formerly was the north door, but now transformed trans-formed Into a window covered with a wrought-iron grill, there is cut In the marble this famous tribute to the emancipator : "Now He Belongs to the Ages."
