CAPITAL CITY
OF MANCHURIA
SEIZED HELD
<• _
TOKYO jept. 19- —Japanese
troopa fought and routed Chinese
^forces and seized Mukden capital
Iff Manchuria today precipitating
m near crisis between China and
Japan but the situation was some-
what relieved when Japan decided
to cease all aggressive action and
cancelled orders for military move-
ments.
The trouble started at Peitaying
a suburb of Mukden when Chinese
soldiers allegedly attempted to
destroy a bridge of the South Man-
churian railway. Japanese soldiers
repulsed the first attack but the
Chinese forces obtained reinforce-
ments and renewed the assault.
Casualties Estimate*'
Japanese sources estimated their
own casualties at two dead and
•even to ten wounded and the
Chinese losses at 13 dead 15
aeriously wounded and 600 U 800
captured. The Japanese said they
fired possibly a dozen shots from
their artillery and the Chinese
were said to have used light field
pieces without inflicting any dam-
Subsequently the Japanese
cleared the railway zone of Chinese
called all their nationals out of the
native city disarmed native officers
jrtntn the Mukden walls and oc-
cupied the capital.
Rengo news agency dispatch
from Changchun Manchuria said
the Chinese garrison at Kwan-
chengtse near Mukden which pre-
viously was reported to have been
occupied by the Japanese still was
holding out tonight in the face of
repeated attacks by ♦’ e Japanese.
Orders to reinforce the 12.000
Japanese troops in Ohe Mukden
zone were issued by Japanese
military authorities and troops were
started in that direction from
Korea a.id Dairen. An air squadron
was reported moving from Korea
toward Mukden and Japanese naval
officers were ordered to be ready
for emergency duty.
The Japanese cabinet met In ex-
traordinary session to deal with the
situation. Subsequently it was an-
nounced that all troop movements
in Korea and Dairen had been
cancelled by the government and
that the cabinet had decided to
instruct the Japanese commander
in the Mukden district to cease all
Aggressive action.
City captured
Mukden tonight was in complete
control of the Japanese. The In-
vading troops held the walls of
the ancient city marched through
the streets and occupied other
strategic points in the area in
retaliation for the alleged attempt
to destroy the railway bridge.
The South Manchurian railway
runs through Chinese territory but
la under Japanese control and oc-
Jtupiei a right of way in a treaty
J(a£ea which is protected by Jap-
aftt.-e troops.
Although there were no reports
here official or otherwise to in-
dicate what had inspired the as-
serted Chinese attack Japanese
authorities assumed it was due to
aroused Chinese feelings which al-
ready had been at a high pitch as
the result of exchanges between
Tokyo and Mukden over the ex-
ecution of Shivtaro Nakamura a
Japanese and three other persons
by Manchurian troops.

CAL (MIDGE’S
UNCLE IS DEAD
PLYMOUTH. Vt.. Sept. 19.—<JP>
—“Uncle John” Wilder fiddler
farmer and uncle of a president
died today in his home at the
center of this little town which
gave a chief executive to the na-
tion.
Births and deaths are few in
this hamlet of 33 souls in Ply-
mouth township but since 1920 the
deaths have become a matter of
interest to the outside world since
most of the deceased have been
in some way related to Calvin
Coolidge.
So when “Uncle John” breathed
his last today the general store
became the focus for telephone
calls flurries of which have dis-
turbed the quiet of Miss Florence
Cilley on numerous occasions since
Mr. Coolidge first became a na-
tional figure.
Between trips to that section of
her store serving as a post office
and out past the big stove in the
center to wait on customers. Miss
Cilley answered the telephone to
confirm the death of “Uncle
John.”
Alone in the little farm house.
Mrs. Wilder sat throughout the
day accepting the condolences of
neighbors on the death of the man
she had married 61 years ago when
John was 24.
In 1925 Wilder decided to quit
farming and spend the remainder
of his life in the quietude of his
native village but fate was Just
steering him into courses he never
would have believed he would take.
It was at this time that old-
time fiddlers took the fancy of
the sophisticates beyond the Ver-
mont hills. “Mellie” Dunham of
Maine came into prominence and
Plymouth advanced “Uncle John”
as a challenger to defend his
standards against the encroach-
ment of the fiddler. Wilder was a
man of few words and when he
came to Boston and heard “Mel-
lie” play his only comment was
“lots better fiddlers anywhere.”

PIRATE DEATH
CLUES FALSE
COPSRAFFLED
NEW YORK Sept. 19- <JP>—Pui-
zled more than ever by the drowning
of Benjamin P. Colllngs from his
cruiser Penguin in Long Island
Sound. Dist. Atty. Alexander O. Blue
of Suffolk cou- y left on a yachting
trip himself today. He said it was
only a weekend vacation- But the
nature of it aroused surmises.
The ctyoner's inquest was sudden-
ly halted yesterday by Mr. Blue
when a brother-in-law of his. Fred
Meyers. Long Island lifeguard told
him of two mysterious men hiding
on an island. The district attorney
postponed the inquest for a week
announced two arrests were imml-
I nent and departed.
Attorney Baffled.
Two hours later he returned to
the Huntington town hall and said
Meyer’s clue was valueless adding :
"I am right back where I started.”
Earlier in the day he had changed
his mind about not calling Mrs. Col-
lings frofc her home in Stamford
Conn. to testify and demanded her
presence. Her attorney Homer 3
Cummings notified Mr. Blue this
was impossible as she was under
care of two physicians.
Several policemen testified to
Coroner William G. Gibson of the
story told them by Mrs. Colllngs
when she was found in a motor
boat on the sound.
Sticks to Story.
She said her husband had been
killed by two men who after club-
bing him and binding his arms and
feet tossed him into the bay. His
: body floated to shore at Lloyd’s
neck last Wednesday a week after
his death. Mrs. Colllngs said she was
attacked by the men. who removed
her from the Penguin and took he-
ft board a canoe later transferring
her to a motor boat. Her daughter
Barbara five years old was left on
the drifting Penguin where she was
found by C. L. Noteman a West-
chester yachtsman.
Mrs. Collings described her two
assailants as a man about 50 and a
boy 18.

Percentage Deposits
Audit of the bank showed cer-
tain -percentage deposits” to the
personal accounts of various coun-
ty officials simultaneously with the
payment of vouchers ir road con-
tracts and other purposes. The
deposits in nearly every Instance
were certain percentages of these
vouches. Virtually every voucher
was analyzed by the auditors and
the deposit peroentage relationship
to the voucher calculated It usual-
ly amounted to one or one and
one-fourth per cent.
Funds which the auditors be-
lieve the county may lay claim to
and recover Include overpayments
on road contracts amounting to
$481878 97. proceeds of bond issue
and interest thereon amounting to

receive interest allegedly not paid

incident where the county com-
missioners on Dec. 14. 1922 con-
tracted with W. L. Pearson & Co.
for a portion of the then state
highway No. 12 from Val Verde to
the Cameron county line on the
east and Starr county line on the
west. The contract price was $2.-
280.086 01 the county forfeiting

tract. This contract was cancelled
when the matter was brought to
light but the commissioners award-
ed the compaYiy $15000 “dam-
ages.” The state highway commis-
sion later awarded the contract

petitive bid basis.

ARMY PLANES
PATROL ALONG
BORDERPOINTS
MARFA. Sept 19—(A**—Persist-
ent reports of projected bandit
raids along the Brewster and
Presidio county borders of the-Rio
Grande Big Bend country have
caused ranchmen in isolated sec-
tions to remove their families to
safety In towns more distant from
the border.
Planes Arrive
Presence of army planes from
Saa Antonio with machine guns
mounted and a t«~. .port plane
With soldiers armed with automatic
rifles has been attributed to the
unrest along the Rio Grande caused
by the expected mids.
Peace officers here maintain the
strictest secrecy but It is known
that both counties are being guard-
ed against possible raids of bandits
from across the border.
Post Guarded
Three army pisses landed here
Thursday and it was reliably re-
ported that a transport airplane
with a squad of infantry armed
with machine guns and automatic
rifles had spent the night at the
ranch of Elmo Johnson who main-
tains a trading post 150 miles south
of Marathon In Brewster county.
This ranch is located in one of the
wildest sections of the Big Bend
country and is 50 miles from Ter-
lingua the nearest tow—
This is the second time since the
World War that armed planes have
visited border posts as result of
conditions of unrest across the Rio
Grande. In 1929 a • quadron from
the third attack group was sent to
Arizona when fighting between
revolutionists and f-‘uaral forces
threatened to endanger lives on
the American side of the inter-
national border.

a transport and three obsrrvation
type ships.

JOBLESS AID
BILL PASSES
I
ALBANY. N. Y.. Sept. II. (Ah—The
amended bill for unemployment re-
lief. agreed upon by the democratic
governor. Franklin D. Roosevelt and
the leaders of the republican major-
ity in the New York legislature to-
night awaited only the governor's
signature. It passed both houses of
the legislature this evening.
The bill as amended after a series
of conferences between the governor
and his aides on the one hand and
the republican leaders on the other
provides for the admlrstration of a
relief fund of $20000000 by an in-
dependent commission of three
members to be appointed by the exe-
cutive. The fund is to be raised by
increasing the tax on personal in-
comes 50 per cent.
The commission will operate In-
dependently of any state agency.
This was one of the features in-
sisted upon by the governor where-
as the original republican bill
authorised the commission to oper
ate within the department of social
welfare.
The republicans also deferred to
the governor in elmlnatlng from
their bill the so-called -blank check*
provision by extending state aid to
local communities while state aid
will be extended a maximum ex-
penditure for any locality will be
stlpuated. The state will meet a
portion of the amount expended by
the localities themselves.
