TO YAP, SAYS JAPAN
Nation's Intentions as Man
datory Are Outlined.
NAVAL BASES ARE BARRED
3Iilltary Strongholds Also Xot to
Be Established, "In Consonance
"With Spirit of Mandate."
TOKIO. March 24. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Japan's Intentions as
mandatory for the former German
islands In the Pacific among them
the island of Yap, were outlined in
a 70O-word communique Issued by
the foreign office today. Japan will
promote the moral and material hap
piness of i the inhabitants and soon
will supersede the present military
administration with a civil govern
ment, said the communique. I
Reiteration was made of the Inten
tion "in consonance with the spirit of
tne mandate" not to establish mili
tary or naval bases. The communi
cation calls attention to the tendency
to exaggerate the economic and
strategic value of the islands, "whose
total area is smaller than Rhode
Jsland," and pointed out that Tap
contains only eight square miles,
which is less than one-third of Guam,
and that its harbors are barely
capable of accommodating three
steamers whose combined tonnage Is
not more than 9000 tons.
The island has no natural produce.
It adds, and, except for Its cable
facilities, is a "worthless piece of
barren soil In mid-ocean."
"It might as well be said," the for
eign office declared, "that the United
States obtained control of the Atlan
tic seas by the purchase of the Virgin
islands as to say that, by the man
date to the Islands In the south Pa
cific, Japan has staked a sea area of
4,000,000 square miles from Kam
chatka in the north to the south
Pacific islands."

SWEDE" CO-RESPOXDEXT.
Camouflaging of Engagements With
Other Men Is Charged in
Suit for Divorce.
Time-honored excuses of the male
head of the family for evening ab
sences were used by Mrs. Mayme T.

camouflage dance engagements with
other men, E. T. Rehbock alleged In
suit for divorce filed in the circuit

that she had to see a "sick friend" or
attend a "union meeting," when, as a
matter of fact she would trip the
light fantastic in the arms of another
man, Rehbock averred.
The co-respondent was named In
the suit as "Axel" or "The Big
Swede." The Rehbocks were married
at St. Helens, Or, December 11, 1920.
That her husband would make their
children carry newspapers and take
the money they earned from them,
that he was arrested for allowing his
14-year-old daughter to carry a
"route," and that he compelled the
children to live in a room over a
stable in which were dead horses and
chickens were the complaints of
Dollie D. Strayer in divorce suit filed
against George Strayer.
The Strayers were married at
Springfield, Or, in 1904 and have the
following children: Loisel, 14; Qeorge,
12; Alton, 10, and Merwln, 4. Other
allegations of the wife were that the

dren," refuses to work and passes
worthless checks.

L
Consolidation in Local Land
Offices Proposed.
SOME PROTEST POSSIBLE
Plan to Eliminate Many Positions
Xot Iikely to Be Welcomed
by Job Hunter's.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, p. C March 25. Con
solidation of the positions of receiver
and register in local land office is
suggested by Secretary of Interior
Fall in a letter to Representative
Slnnott, chairman of the house public
lands committee, received today. The
secretary of the interior would ha,ve
congress enact legislation giving au
thority for a merger of these offices
as a means for reducing expenses.
The letter does not make it entirely
clear whether the secretary favors
eliminating the office of receiver in
every instance or only in districts
where the areas of public lands are so
reduced as not to require the services
of two men. Economy of public funds,
the letter says, calls for this con
solidation. It Is pointed out that there Is al
ready' legal authorization for consol
idating districts, but no authority for
merging the two official positions
wber one man can perform all of
the work. The secretary's suggestion
will be particularly Interesting at this
time from a political standpoint, be
cause, throughout the west, there are
an average of six to ten candidates
for every position of register or re
ceiver. There are 15 land offices in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Some Disapproval Sure.
Congress is expected to welcome
the secretary's suggestion as another
way of saving money, although such
an attitude is not likely to be indorsed
by persons who are struggling for
the jobs.
S. A. J.- Turner, cfclef engineer of
the Columbia basin irrigation project,
and Fred A. Adams, supervisor, both

tor of the reclamation service.
It is understood that this confer
ence will discuss the various view
points on' the engineering questions
involved in the Columbia basin proj
ect, notably the differences of opinion
as to the best method of delivering
the water. The reclamation service
is said to have an open mind as be
tween the gravity plan, which would
take the water from the Pend

RUST DECLARED IN PLAT
DEFENSE SPRIXGS SURPRISE
IX KIDXAPIXG CASE.
Millionaire's Son Said to Have
Been Aide in Scheme to Get
Money From Father.
TACOMA, Wash, March 25. Arthur
Rust "framed up" his own kidnaping
February 1 in order to obtain money
from his father, was the sensational
charge made by the defense today In
the trial of Hugh Van Amburgh, be
ing tried for the abduction of the son
of W. R. Rust, local millionaire.
The charge was made before a
crowded courtroom. It was entirely
unexpected.
"The defense will show," declared
Attorney Gordon, "that Van Am
burgh confessed to the kidnaping to
shield Arthur Rust. We will show
that the boys were well acquainted,
that on the day of the alleged kid
naping, Rust stopped Van Amburgn
and entered his automobile, that Rust
plotted the abduction to obtain mon
ey, that Rust helped to write the note
demanding $20,000 ransom, that Rust
was not bound until it was feared the
police were coming."
The defense issued subpoenas for
six witnesses after making the
charges. These witnesses, not before
mentioned in the case, will prove the
contentions of Van Amburgh, Attor
ney Gordon asserted.
After the statement of the defense,
the state called Arthur Rust to the
stand as its first witness. He detailed
the alleged kidnaping, his testimony
coinciding with the confession of Van
Amburgh when he was arrested and
accused of the crime.
The minimum penalty for kidnaping
under the state law Is 10 years In the
state penitentiary.
