Rate Increase Denied. By EDWARD W. PICKARD the President had promised to aid federal farm banks ty recommend-ing an Increase In capitalization. They said they told the Presi-dent that the present capital of the 12 land banks Is tied up In farm land that cannot be sold, and hence the farmers In this time of stress are not able to avail themselves of the credit facilities which congress Intended when It created this par-ticular branch of the treasury sys-tem. Fears that the economy program for the Navy department would be disastrous for the navy bond and the maintenance of Old Ironsides, otherwise the frigate Constitution, were dispelled by an announce-ment by Theodore 0, Joslyn, sec retary to the President. lie said that whatever else Is eliminated from the budget, the band and the his-toric frigate would be provided for. The President, be said. Is opposed to diminishing "the Inspirational value" of the old Constitution by laying her up and to taking the "Joy out of life" by scrapping the band.

Brland, as a kind of mediator, asked Japan to abandon the fifth of Its five points, which demands "a new arrangement between the South Manchurian and the Chinese railways In Manchuria to obtain co-operation, and It was Intimated in Tokyo thut this might be done. Jupan's other points are: 1. A mutual pledge by both na-tions not to resort to aggression. 2. Chinese abandonment of movements, including boy-cotts and e propaganda In school textbooks. S. Mutual respect for territorial rylng at once to Washington, h e was received there : with all due for-mality and cor-diality and was housed, with his entourage.

Josette, seemed to enjoy them-selves.' However, the chief interest. In the premier's visit centered In his talks with Mr. Hoover. What they discussed and what conclusions they reached. If any, were not to be given . out to the public until the affair was all over. But It was known thut the French mission was concerned especially with ques- - . tlons of flnunce and disarmament and would try to reach an agree--. nient In which these two matters would be jinked up with the se-curity which France-continunll- y de-mands. M. Laval was troubled by the American belief that France Is militaristic and did his best to dis-pel that Idea. On the way over he intimated that about the limit he expected from America In the way of security guarantees was a cou- - sultatlve pact to define the aggres-sor in war, but he thought the In-- " ' : ctrument might be so --worded as to Imply certain assurances of the at- - Integrlty. 4. Chinese recognition of the validity of the existing treaties guar-anteeing protection of Japanese life and property and the right to reside and engage In peaceful occupations on leased land In Manchuria. These are not final terms, but are considered by Japan essential preceding withdrawal of troops to the railway zone. In reply to the nations that In-voked the Kellogg pnet, Foreign Minister Shldehara declares that Japan recognizes fully Its responsi-bility under the pact and holds that its army's action In Manchuria bus been activated solely by reasons of e and also to protect Japanese lives and property against wanton attacks by Chinese troops and bandits. The Japanese government, accord-ing to the reply, does not Intend to take recourse to war to obtain a so-lution of Its differences with China The government's aim la to compose the differences paclfleully. with the rebellious members of the government. , . Acts of aggression against the re-public are defined elaborately. The government can deal with labor, po-litical and religious disorders with extraordinary powers. It Is privi-leged to dissolve any organization considered a menace to public or-der, suppress a hostile press and fire any public official whom It finds lax in enforcing the law. .

' Five of the vacancies,' two nor-mally Democratic, are to be Ailed at special elections November &. Gov-ernor Larson of New Jersey: was ex-pected to call a special election to fill the vacancy In the normally Re-publican Fifth district before the new congress convenes December 7. Attorney General Stevena of New Jersey believed, however, there was hot sufficient time.

As to finance, the premier ex-pected to reach an agreement with Mr. Hoover concerning prolongation of the moratorium on war debts and reparations. . He also hoped plans might be laid for an International conference to examine the gold and credit questions. C"OR one minute Wednesday night the people of the United States turned out their electric lights In tribute to the roem6ry of Thomas Alva Edison an Impressive denion- - etratlon that ' was requested by President Hoover. That day the funeral of (he greatest- - Inventor of all time was held in West Orange . and hla body waa laid In the tomb. The services were simple but many thousands of mourning men and women were there. Mr. Hoover was kept In Washington by official du-ties, but he was represented by Mrs. Hoover. Henry Ford and- - Harvey Firestone, closest friends of Edison, were prominent In the throng. They had said goodby to htm two weeks before when all knew bis death waa not far off.

Is to be re-leased ou parole on .November 9, though his term normally, would not end until Feb-ruary 1932. It was learned at the s Department' of Jus-tice ' that among those who recomV mended the narole and physically assaulted several times and a Birmingham court Is-sued summons for his arrest after a stormy meeting In that city. Wins-ton Churchill waa nearly mobbed while addressing a meeting In sup-port of Viscount Bnrodale, son of Countess Beatty, but was saved from the howling crowd by the police. One novelty of the campaign was the use of airplanes In aid of the National government candidates. The machines were all privately owned and were under the direc-tion of a woman, Mrs. R. R. Bentley. V ECLARING that a blanket 15 per cent Increase in freight rates would be contrary to the best Interests of the railways and would be unjustified by the economic con-ditions prevailing, the Interstate commerce commission denied the application of the carriers for the boost. The commission suggested instead a temporary Increase of rates on numerous specified commodities for a period ending March SI, 1933. with the understanding that the addi-tional revenue produced by such In-creases shall be pooled by the rail-roads to meet deficiencies In Inter-est payments on their bonds and other obligations. This Increase. It. was estimated, might produce as much as $125,000,000, whereas the roads hoped to get $.rOO.OO0,0Q0 from the blanket raise asked. In some quarters it waa tntl- - rs the discussion of that matter by the League of Na-tions. This, how-ever, was a mere formality for: Prentiss Gilbert,1"; American " consul at Geneva, already was sitting In with flie league council. The committee of five of the council anggested thnt the powers signatory . te the Kellogg an- - Harry E. v Rowbottom Prentiss Gilbert were Senators ;ames E. Watson and Arthur JRoblnson of Indi-ana, both Republicans. Other recommendations In favor of releasing Rowbottonr.b.efore the expiration of his full termwere made by Circuit Judge ;Cha.rles E. Woodward, who sentenced, the for-mer representative, and by 'judge Vanderburgh of the. Probate court of Evansvllle. District - Attorney George I. Jeffery. who prosecuted Rowbottom. was opposed to the pn-- . tl-w- pact call to the attention of , Japan and China their obligations under that treaty,' ' and identical notes' on that line were sent to Tokyo and ' Nanking by Great Britain, the United States, France. Italy, Germany, Spain and other na- - tlons. Then the council committee con-tinued Its dlscnssions of the Man-churian question and It was re-ported that Its attitude was being reversed owing to alleged sugges-tions from Washington. Japan, It appeared, was about to win a com-plete diplomatic .victory, and the Chinese delegates were dumbfound-ed, In other 'words. It was ru-mored the council would decide that Japan's occupation of Manchuria night' continue Indefinitely runtil Tokyo wai satisfied that the secur-ity of Japanese In the province war amply guaranteed, and that negotla-- flora between Japan and China should begin at once. There was ' every reason to believe that these - conclusions would be Indignantly rejected by China. Diplomats In Geneva fenred the result! of the council's rumored . change of view, prophesying that te NahClng government would fall, that there would again be chaos in mated that the railroads might now resort to cutting the wages of their 1.300.000 .workers, which they are loath to do since they realize this would decrease buying power and In turn decrease the quantity of freight carried. . . ITHEN the President returned to Washington from the York-tow-celebration, one of the first delegations he received wns from Philadelphia, bearing a strong pro-test against parts of the nnvy economy program, especially the postponement of the construction of the $3,000,000 naval hospital in that city. Four congressmen told Mr. Hoover they thought work on the hospital should go ahead. Another delegation, which in . eluded Senators Nye and Frazler of North Dakota, asked White House aid In relieving the farm land credit situation in the west era and northwestern farm regions. Later the two senators said that role, the Justice department said.
