By STEWART BROWN United PreBS Staff Correspondent GENEVA. April 21. U.R Japan's atartlinc "hands off" Chinese declarations may be raised in what will amount to a world conference when the League of Nations committee on Mnnchukuo meets here May 14, it was indicated today. League of Nations officials, already chagrined over the complete defeat of the League's efforts to curb activities of Japan in Man chukuo, frankly took a most serious view of the latest Toklo state ments. Confronted with a new step forward in Japan's aim to assert full leadership in Eastern Asia, League officials seemed inclined to favor a showdown and to welcome a general discussion of Far Eastern affairs at the May 14 meeting the first in nearly a year of the Mnn chukuo committee. From the standpoint of the Lcgaue as a body, there Is no doubt that a strong stand against Japan would be welcomed. But as Geneva is but the shell of the organization, and its jnembcrs have their own problems In the Far East, there was some speculation whether a EXPERT HOLDS ill DUEL STORY ABSURD Heinrich Declares Victim Sitting Upright in Chair When Slain STATE NEARLY DONE Defense Promises Several Surprise Angles When It Opens Up strong stand could be adopted. E RULED OFF BALLOT Special Election May Now Be Required For Settling Issue Member. of the Lane county court nnd County Clerk Walter B. Dillard were in doubt Saturday afternoon as to what action to take In the matter of holding a special election in the county on the eounty unit plan of Kchoot adniinlstrfttion. Attomey-l'n-eral Van Winkle at Snlem Fridny ruled that the counties are without authority to vote on the mensure May 18, which is the date of the primaries, because the primary elec tion cornea within fit) days of the regular achool elections set for June 18. The ballots for the special election, with thia measure on, are now being printed but the work has been held up until a final decision of the county court is made in the matter. County Judge Fisk and County Commissioner Cal Young said that it ia quite likely that the order for the election will hare to be rescinded by the court but County Clerk lillard wan not certain. He said that the court went ahead upon the oral advice of the attorney-general thnta it would be legal and ordered tbe election. Now the nttorney-genernl reverses hit first decision, and It is possible that he might have been right in the first place. The founty court was to take ac tion on the matter Saturday forenoon but an Commissioner Crowe was out of the cily nothing could be done. He was expected back Saturday aft ernoon. Clerk Dillard said that to hold the election if held May IS would save the county several hundred dollars. If a special election has to bo called later poll officials in every precinct would have to hi paid ami the county would have to meet the other ex penses incidental to holding an election. ' In its efforts to curb .Tnpan's pene tration into Manchuria, the league suf fered a severe dcfeiit and Iokr of prestige it could ill afford. Now, with Japan having announced its withdrawal from the lentue, nnd tak ing the position thnt the league has no concern with Japan's affairs, the league's position is made doubly dif ficult. Chinese Raise Istues Initiative in raising the entire Far Kastern problem at the May 14 meet ing was expected to come from Wel lington Koi, Chinese minister at Paris. Kven before the Japanese pronouncements of this week Koo had intimated that he would make every effort to bring China's trou bles up befure the cwmmitiee. Until the Intent developments. It had been indirnted that the meeting would he one in which some delegates demanded thnt ns a practical matter, aside from diplomatic niceticH. league members ought to rccogniie Mnnchu kuo, But now, with league official be lieving that Japnn is , defying the world, the feeling was that an ap proach toward recognition would only be a confession of helplessness. Postal Problem Amusing Also the league as a body is an xious regarding its own plans for reconstruction of China. The Japan ese pronouncements apparently in cluded such plans in t hose over which Japan intended to assert the right of censorship. Aside from the possibility of a Manchukuonn recognition fight, the biggest question fncitig the Manchtt kuo committee until this week was a diplomatic one, amusing to the lay man though of great interest to the diplomats. Maiichiikuoan postal authorities have asked Great Britain to pay its share of trnnsit charges uj-ross Mnn chukuo on British mail, (treat Brit ain would gladly do so but it does not recognize the existence of the new state, and to write out a check would be recognition. The committee was to try to find one of the now familisr ''formulae" which would en able Britain to pay the bill without recognizing Manchitkuo, a. m., ,".:0.i p. m.

To Karle ii. Linsley of Chabot ob servatory. Mills college, and Ir. Al bert Newlin, protege of Father Bicard "Padre of the Rains," the spot meant forthcoming storms, rains, electrical disturbances and sudden climatic changes. They observed the spot for the first tinie yesterday. It will take 12 days for the spot, visible now to small telescopes, to cross the face of the sun. Linsley called It a "sun spot tor nado"' whirling at terrific speed across tbe sun.' Newlin, carrying on at Santa Clara university the researches of Father Ricnrd. said that the spot marked the beginning of n "big spot" era, whieh in the next nine to 12 years would cause changes in both weather and sun conditions. KLAMATH FALLS. April 21. OP) The state's master detective and criminologist, Dr. O. E. Heinrich, of Berkeley, led a jury uf men on an exploration trip today designed to at tack any defense theory that Horace M. Manning engnged in a gun duel with Kalph W. ilornn before the young legislator was found lhot to death on Lincoln s birthday. The professional appearing Hein rich, testifying slowly and methodical ly, described the bullet holes discov ered in Hornn's clothes ami the scar on the choir where he sat across desk from the veteran attorney who is now on trial for hici life. Clothing Gives Clue Heinrich, star witness for the state, said the condition of the coat and chair indicated thoroughly that the young legislator's clothing was drawn tight across the piece of furniture when a bullet passed through his heart and enme out below the left shoulder blade. This second day of expert testi mony undoubtedly will be linked by the state to show that the slain man was in his chair at the time of his death. The prosecution expects to prore by Heinrich' remarks It would have been impossible fur Hornn to have been on his feet scrambling for a trim. The trial proceeded slowly today with the presentation of the crim inologist's minute findings. Because the state was not able to complete its case today, the court adjourned at noon. Coal Fibers Examined Dr. Heinrich told the jury this morning that had Hornn's coat been hanging free the broken fibres alwuit the bullet hole would have lteen ragged. But since they were punched cleanly, he declnred the coat must have been pressed firmly against a hard surface. The bullet scar on the chair re vealed bits of cloth and the surface JOIN "ALFALFA'S" GUARD; SEE OKLAHOMA! yflOQ DEPUTY KOW 1l Ml UNDER BOND Involuntary Manslaughter' Is Charge Against Special Agent TRIAL IS TO BE SOON Other Findings Announced As Grand Jurors Wind Up Long Session .
