ALLIBLAME
ON JAPANESE
. Sept. 30—f/Pi—Dr. C.
T. Wang mobbed and seriously In-
jured Monday by student* who
blamed him for failure to obtain
the intervention of the League of
Nations in the Sino-Japane.se con-
troversy in Manchuria resigned
today as foreign minister i-f the
Nanking government.
Alfred Sae Chinese minister to
Great Britain and Chinas repre-
sentative in the League of Nations
was named to succeed him.
Event* of the last ten days which
witnessed the occupation of south-
ern Manchurian cities by Japanese
troops and the subsequent rejection
by the league council of the Chinese
appeal for intervention so weaken-
ed Dr. Wang’s standing with lead-
r ers of the Kuomlntang dominant
Chinese political party that he
found retention of office impossible.
American in Post
Pending arrival of 3ze from
Geneva Prank W. Lee American
bom Chinese and former minister
of this country to Me l:o will
act as foreign minister. Lee has
begi serving as vice minister of
l#isn affairs.
wgAtnortly after the change was
ampunced a foreign office spokes-
m&if>said the alleged independence
movements In Manchuria follow-
ing Japanese occupation must be
regarded as having been instigated
by Japanese since the areas affect- j
ed were those occupied.
Despite Japan's formal declara-
tion that she had no territorial
designs on Manchuria Nanking au- j
thorities refused to believd that
spontaneuoe Chinese independence
movements could evolve under con-
ditions of occupation.
Japan Gives Info
Nanking considered it noteworthy
that virtually all Information about
alleged separatist movements in
Manchuria had reached Shanghai
and Nanking through Japanese
channels. These statements said
Chinese leaders were establishing
their own regimes in Mukden. Kir-
in Harbin Hailar Tsitsthar and
inner Mongolia declaring inde-
pendence from Nanking.
Recent statements from Tokyo
said Japanese authorities had
frowned on separatist and Inde-
pendence movemer ts in Manchuria.

SEEK TO CUT
U. S. NAVY COST
WASHINGTON Sept. *0. —
Secretary Adams and his admirals
are searching for a method by
which they can cut down expendi-
tures for fi>33.
Like his colleagues of the cabinet
the naval secretary has be sn asked
by Pres. Hoover to reconsider
budgetary estimates submfUed for
the year. On highest authority it
has been made known the cihief ex-
ecutive wishes the navy to cut its
$401000000 estimates to 3340.000-
000. He does not desire that the
decreases be made however at the
expense of the current construction
program which might be slightly
increased.
Meanwhile the secretary an-
nounced yesterday an immediate
slash In expenditures. The project-
ed eleven-desitroyer program au-
thorized by congress wee cut to
five ships after approval for the
others was withheld &y tiie White
House.
Since Pres. Hoover hopes to slash
naval expenditures to
$340000000 as compared with 1932
appropriations while increasing the
construction fund from fSO.OOO.OOO
to $65000000. any curtailment must
come from other bureaus. General
expenditures are expected to bear
the $35000000 cut.

MATRIMONIAL
CANON WINS
ENDORSEMENT
DENVER Colo. 8ept. 30. (JPh-
Adoption of a new matrimonial
canon was cited as a major achieve-
ment of the fiftieth triennial con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
church as delegates prepar'd to
wind up their business today and
adjourn.
The canon tinged with liberalism
and representing the first drastic
changes in the rules of the rtiurch
on marriage and divorce since 1808
was indorsed by the convention yes-
terday. It resulted from a com-
promise in plans advanced by the :
house of bishops and the house of |
clerical and lay deputies.
Divorces Recognised
Persons who have been divorced
and remarried in contravention to
the law of the church are given
cognisance in the new canon. With
the approval of ecclesiastical courts
operating through the bishops they
may retain their communicant sta-
tus and be admitted to baptism
confirmation and Holy communion.
The canon provides for remar-
riage instruction by ministers who
may not perform the solemnisation
services unless they have been noti-
fied of the Intent of the parties to
the marriage thsee days in advance.
Cause Given
The ecclesiastical courts and the
bishops are given power to declare
null and void marriages which have
been dissolved or annulled by civil
courts. Annulment by the ecclesi-
astical courts however must be
based on one or more of nine listed
impediments to matrimony existing
prior to marriage.
The Canon also provides that the
bishops and ecclesiastical courts
recognize adultery as a cause for
dissolution or annulment after mar-
riage. The innocent party to a di-
vorce granted on grounds of
adultery may be married by a min-
ister of the church with approval
of the bishop.
On prohibition and unemploy-
ment. the convention declined to
take decisive action.
THERE’S A MORAL
Jgt
IN THIS STORY OF
TRIAL AND WOE
EDINBURG. Sept. 30.—Had a
rifle been loaded a man with a
load would probably be in the
happy hunting grounds—but the
rifle wasn’t loaded.
Consequences are not
quite so serious but much more
lingering perhaps for in addition
to having a huge hangover an
American farmer on the Morning-
side road near San Juan is nurs-
ing a mammoth knot on his head.
The man in question a young
married man of 24. and his 41-year
old brother were celebrating in
high style fislically especially.
The young man's wife found to
her dismay that the rifle wasn't
loaded but she was quite re-
sourceful. Hiding behind the door
she waited her opportunity.
In weaved friend husband.
The gun was demolished and
friend husband received the com-
plimentary mountain-like knot and
a booth in jail.
“Just young folks’ trouble”
Deputy Prank Rush said. "You
notice the 41-year-old man’s wife
didn't raise a hand.' That's the
result of competent trainin'.”

NEW WORLD’S
SPEED MARK
SET IN AIR
LONDON. Sept 10.—UP)—A new
world’s Speed record of 418 miles
an hour stamped Flight Lt G. H.

wings.
He topped ms previous mark or |
388.87 miles an hour on the second
of four laps over a three-kilometer
(ohe and seven-eights miles) course
at Calshot yesterday. His average
was 408.8 miles an hour as com-
pared with the figure of 379.0s
during the Schneider cup races.
The judges officially announced
his time for the four laps a*
calculated by an electric camera
as 415.2. 406.1 409.5 and 406.4. His
machine was an 86B seaplane
driven by an especially built
Rolls-Royce engine described as
the most powerful ever built. He
landed at 100 miles an hour while
the spectators gasped.
“I believe I have broken the
record” he said quietly as he
joined his wife.
Rio Hondo Schools
Ask Taxes Be Paid
(Special to The Herald)
RIO HONDO Sept. SO —The Rio
Hondo school board has Issued a
public letter to all taxpayers In the
Rio Hondo school district appeal-
ing to them to pay their school
taxes.
State aid has been withheld since
the state tax monies are not avail-
able. The state aid this year will
amount to approximately $20000
and first payment of the state aid
i la promised soon but fear is that
only a small portion will be forth-
coming since several hundred dol-
lars Hue from last -ear remains
unpaid. '
The school board states that the
Rio Hondo district is not alone In
its financial embarrassment as al-
most every other district is also
affected but the Rio Hondo school
board is probably the first to ap-
peal to the taxpayers in this man-
ner.
At a me ling of the school board
the payment of warrants In lieu of
salaries was discussed but no ac-
tion was taken for the present oth-
er than the appeal to taxpayers.
