UP AN' GT OUTA -T-IER, - v "JlffY ' DISPLACEMENT JSfXESb. ' Canton Frowns On Portugal's Macao Colony CANTON m Tho Canton gov ernment is beginning to get vicious about Macao, the Portuguese colony a hundred miles down at tho mouth of tho Canton river. ! Macao has long been the oriental gamblers' paradise but Canton has announced its determination to forge ."a ring of steel" round the colony so las to "curb that wicked city's influ ence upon South China." j Lives On Gambling Macao nas Decn a coiony nanging on to the skirts of China for 400 years, being given to the earliest Por tuguese navigators . in return for 'fighting pirates that then Infested the South China sea, Macao lives solely by opium and gambling monopolies which are auc- tinnprt in nil Win An nun 11 V. ' The Chinese is a born gambler and flocks there to try his luck at fan tan, to smoke a pipe of opium In quiet and peace, and enjoy the free and easy life generally. Hongkong Is only four hours away by steamer and every Saturday ex cursion steamers unload mobs of passengers, out to try, their, luck on tho tables. , -, . Dop Races Lato Fail Tho Southern Chinese government has always frowned on this, although not always righteously. Some admin istrations honestly desired tho places closed but others were more envious of the revenues produced for the Portuguese colonial government. Now Macao is adding to Its attrac tions by introducing dog racing, with a tin hare. The new sport Is going like wild-fire, to the disgust of tho government In Canton which has warned that any Chinese known to - patronize the dogs will be branded a I traitor and deprived of his clvio rights. In addition It has ordered the 'severance of relations with the port of Macao and has Instructed the Chi nese In Macao to agitate for return of the colony to Chinese jurisdiction. It is believed, however, that tho average Chinese In Macao Is more concerned over his "gambling rights" than the prospective loss of Chtneso "civil rights." OKOVV FAT AND FAMOUS GOAL OF IIKAVY TURKS ISTANBUL (P) Fat Turks, mem bers of the Istanbul 200-pounders club, are trying to add 100 pounds each before embarking on a summer tour of Europe.

Ho declined also to say whero Bhe had gone and when he expected her return. He added, however, that Mrs. Curtis had frequently been annoyed with telephono and other calls by reporters and that she needed reBt, j OtmrtlPd statements I Only carefully guarded statements have been given out In the daily press conferences held by Admiral Quy H. Burrage, who is acting as spokesman for the Very Rev. Dean H. Dobson Peacock, John Hughes Curtis and himself. Last night ho asserted, how ever that when they last had contact with the kidnapers or their agents the baby was reported well and that ne gotiations . now have reached the "watchful waiting" stage. Admiral Burrage said that threats have been mado against at least one of the negotiators but he declined to say whether all have been bo threat ened. Mr. Curtis, who said a vieled threat was made by several unidenti fied persons who called him, by tele phone, said ho thought tho callers were "cranks." PHILADELPHIA MENTIONED AGAIN I HOPEWELL, N. J., Apr. 1 (!) It was Philadelphia's turn today to' be come the "clue" centre In the Lind bergh kidnaping mystery. Reports flew that Charles A. Lind bergh Jr.. kidnaped a month ago to night, might be found In or near that city. Police scoffed. Hundreds of other tips of similar nature have proved valueless. . , Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the state police, said "there has been no investigation directly or In directly of the report tho baby was held in or near Philadelphia." Morton Bernstein, head of a pri vate detective agency in New York, came here lost night with one of his operatives, Samuel Krosnow, and vis ited the Lindbergh home. A spokesman for their agency said two mysterious strangers had come to the office and warned them to j watch a certain Philadelphia house I tho night of March 31. i "A blond woman and a man will enter the house. If you will then .crash the door, you may then find the Lindbergh baby," the strangers said. I . Will WntcH House ! Bernstein and Krosnow left last 'night for Philadelphia planning to watch the houso. j Col. Schwarzkopf amplified the po lice unconcern about the Philadel phia investigation In his morning bulletin, saying "neither director of public safety. Kern Dodge, nor any person In Philadelphia havo given us any information of importance in this case and we havo no knowledge as to what this Information Is pre sumed to be. Our activities are not around Philadelphia at this time and we have no definite information lead ing to that vicinity.
