League Awaits Appeal
Of Member Before
Consider i n g Situa-
tion Writer Says
By OSCAR WATSON
(Cable Editor The Associated Press)
Japan took steps last week to plant
her feet firmly in the soil of Shan-
tung Province Shantung. China.
Tainan the capital was cleared of
nationalist troops control of the
Shantung railway was taken over and
administration of the city was placed
in the hands of the Chinese Chamber
of Commerce.
The battle between the Japanese
and Chinese lasted several days and
in the end the JapaneiC were in com-
plete control. Both sides paid the
price in heavy casualties.
Although the Nanking (nationalist)
government appealed .o the league of
nations at Geneva charging Japan
with violation of China’s territorial
integrity and independence the Nip-
pon government continued its war-
like preparations and large con-
tingents of men and ships are pro-
ceeding to China.
Appeal to League
The northern dictator Chang Iso-
Lin issued an appeal to all the
people for unity and the cessation
of hostilities. He chtuged commun-
ists with responsibility for the pres-
ent civil war and feared impairment
of China's relations with the powers
because of the foreign interests in-
volved.
What the league of nations will do
in the affair has not been disclosed
even decided for the protest from the
Nanking government cannot be of-
ficially recognised unless some other
government—the Peking government
or some other member of the league
adds its voice to the appeal.
While the Geneva rtatesmen are
having a lively discussion over the
Rino-Japanese situation the various
governments who have large inter-
ests in C hina have K-»n silent in-
dicative probably of the uncertainty
of Japan’s intention* although the
Japanese premier M. Tanaka _ in-
structed the competent authorities
at Tokyo to take steps to settle the
affair by diplomatic n-eans.
Carol Ordered Out
Former Crown Prince Carol of Ru-
mania who issued •l manifesto ex-
pressing his intention to return to
Rumania at the call el the people
was ordered to depart lrom England
by the home secretary. Sir William
Joynson-Hicks. Carol *as a guest at
the surrey residenca of s yellow
countryman. His manifesto appeared
about the time manv thousands of
Julia and other cit'fv in a vast
» demonstration against the adminis-
tration under Premier Bratianu. It
was supposed at first that the peas-
ants in their assembHes would en-
gage in an active demonstration for
the ousting of the premier but noth-
ing of this kind hapnened and they
returned to their farms and their
work—and Bratianu remains in con-
trol.
Great Britain who*e spokesman
was Sir Austen Chamberlain for-
eign secretary announced her de-
sire to cooperate with the Cnited
States government in putting into
effect Secretary of SUte Kellogg’s
pact for outlawing war. The British
dominions are yet to be heard from
and when they make known their at-
titude the British go.ernment will
notify the United States govern-
ment of its exact position.

Flashes of Life
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK—Governor Smith has
narrowly escaped being described in
the Encyclopedia Brittanica as “the
son of a rather unsuccessful market
gardener.” The British editor un-
derstanding “truckman” in its Eng-
lish sense substituted “gardener”
in n sketch of Governor Smith but
in a revision the governor's father
is described as a "drayman.”
WASHINGTON—Horae-drawn ve-
hicles in which Prt.iu nts Roosevelt.
Taft and Wilson travelled upon oc-
casion have been placed in the per-
manent exhibit of the army quarter- i
master department. They were used
for White House marketing until j
February when automobiles re-
placed them.
NEW YORK—Some 25 families of
New York’s socially elite spend more i
than $100000 annually each on their
stables racing excluded.
TARRYTOWN N. Y.-rublic offi-
rials when dinner guests of John D.
Rockefeller Jr. are expected to
dress for comfort. Town fathers in-
vited to the Rockefeller home in-
quired and Icarndp that not even
stiff collars would be necessary.
SOFIA Bulgaria—Two professors
at the American college at Samokov
have a much increased respect fir
royalty. After striving vainly for
three hours to repair their broken
down automobile they saw the
young driver of a machine which
had overtaken them start it in ten
minutes. They discovered later that
the driver was King Boris.
NEW YORK—The Bible has heen
translated complete into 169 lan-
guages and dialects. The 169th is
the Lula-Lunda spoken by about
2500000 in the Belgian Congo.
KANSAS CITY—The Rev. John P.
Ingerslew has come from Copenha-
gen at a cost of $20. The deposed
head of the .1 -usalem Methodist
church in Copenhagen here seeking
reinstatement crossed the Atlantic
as guest of a steamship line rode
his motorcycle as far as Dayton O..
and took a bus when the motorcysle
broke down.
NEW YORK—Sir Charles Higham.l

RENO DIVORCE1
GRIST GROWS
Mill Grinds Through
1603 Separations in
77 U. S. Says
WASHINGTON May 14.——
Reno famous as a divorce center
was a much larger magnet for dis-
agreeing couples last year than it
was in 1926.
The commerce department review-
ing marriage and divorce statistics
for Nevada today credited that state
with 1953 divorces in 1927 an in-
crease of 932 or 913 per cent over
the previous years. Specific figures
for Reno were not given but Washoe
county in which it is located was
shown to have granted 1603 of the
total a gain of 847 or more than
100 per cent.
While no explanation was offered
for the divorce increase the depart-
ment called attentior to a modifica-
tion of Nevada’s res dence require-
ment from six to '.hree months.
Due largely to a change in Cali-
fornia's marriage law requiring three
days notice to be given before the
issunnee of a license the report said
95.3 per cent more couples were join-
ed in wedlock in Nevada last year
than the year before. The total mar-
riages were 2398 an increase of 1170.
Washoe county's figures nearly treb-
led showing 1538 marriages last year
as against 558 in 1926.
A total of 38 m irriages were an-
nulled in the state in 1927 as com-
pared with 20 in 1926. Washoe coun-
ty accounted for 36 while Humboldt
and White Pine had one each.
N. Y. East Side Is
Setting of Film'
The lower East Side of New York.
America's greatest foreign settle-
ment. is the locale of most of the
action of Universal's special ”Wc
Americans.” This unusual produc-
tion deals with the lives of these
people and will be shown at the
Capitol theater beginning Tuesday
for three days.
Many of the colorful scenes in
“We Americans” were filmed in New
York while many others were reg-
istered at Universal City where a
complete Lower East Side street was
constructed for use in the picture.
Here are the butcher shop of
Schmidt and the fruit store of Al-
bertini where the drama is enacted.
The story dea^s with the modern
generation of America’s foreign born
who have become real Americans to
the amazement of their elders who
belatedly try to overtake their chil-
dren by attending night school.
Director Edward Sloman went on
location to New York for the film-
ing of scenes in the proper atmos-
phere.

SAN ANGELO Tex. May 14.—“Five
thousand dollars for every dead bank
robber—not a cent for a hundred
live ones.” That was the ultimatum
issued by the Texas Bankers’ associa-

it is working. Frequent bank rob-

While sentiment in the state is di-

believing that it makes robbers more
daring and prompting them to shoot
their way out when caught it has
been vigorously defended by William
M. Massie president of the bankers’
association.

Public Sentiment Divided
Two unexpected incidents have
caused sentiment to be turned against
the reward.
An oil scout of San Angelo driving
in his auto in Garza county late one
night was commanded to stop. Un-
heeding he speeded up and was fired
on. 37 shots entering his leg.
Those who shot him were members
of a posse looking for bank robbers.
Another incident in connection with
the reward was the killing of two
Mexicans and the wounding of a
third at Stanton in front of the
Home State bank.
Wounded “Bandit” Recovered
The wounded Mexican has recov-
ered and claims that two officers em-
ployed the trio got them drunk
placed them in front of the bank and
shot them.
The West Texas Sheriffs’ associa-
tion has adopted a resolution request-
ing modification of the reward so
that it would read “dead or alive."
and would not apply to night time
robberies.
But in the meantime. “Five thou-
sand dollars for every dead bank
robber—not a cent for a hundred live
ones” has been holding good.

Bebe Finds Favor
In Queen Picture
Give Bebe Daniels half a chance
and she will wrench a chuckle out ef
the worst pessimist and this is just
what she is most capable of doing
in “The Fifty-Fifty Girl” which is
showing the last time today at the
Queen theater.
The story is typically Beba Dan-
iels who is never better than in a
story wherein the beautiful Ameri-
can girl just cannot keep herself out
of a jam. “The Fifty-Fifty Girl”
deals with such a girl one who is
firm in the belief that she can make
a man look silly under any sat ef
circumstances.
Along comes James Hall her lead-
ing man and. in the story her part-
ner in a mining venture who ac-
cepts her proposal to take the part
