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

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hare to be rescinded by the court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,

Gigantic Sun Spot
Expected to Bring
Change in Weather
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21. 0J.R)
Sudden and severe changes in wea
ther conditions were predicted today
by two prominent astronomers be
cause of the presence on the sun of a
gigantic spot Bt.OtM'l miles in width.
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
