BIG AIR ENGAGEMENT
U. S. Protests Japanese Plan
To Bomb Nanking; Claim
It Against Rules
SHANGHAI, Sept. 21. P
Chinese declared today that eight
Japanese warplanes of a fleet of
21 raiding the southern metro
polis of Canton were destroyed as
Japan spread desolation from the
air along the China coast.
Independent observers at the
Portuguese colony of Macao, at
the mouth of the Canton river,
bore out the Chinese claims. They
said 21 Japanese planes passed
over Macao in the direction of
Canton at 6:30 a. m., but only 13
returned two hours later.
Many civilians were killed by
the earth-rocking bombs but ma
terial damage to the great southern
river port city was said to have
been slight. Chinese pursuit ships
took off in the cool morning air to
meet the invaders and the combat
high above the city was featured
by spectacular dogfights. . The
Chinese power-dived on the tails
of the heavy bombers, spurting
machine gun fire.
Japanese officials here said no
air raid on Nanking may .be ex
pected today or tonight, despite
the threat to begin major attacks
at noon, but declined to give rea
sons.
Chinese insisted their anti-air
craft had . downed 12 Japanese
planes yesterday and today, lour
at NankingA two at Soochow, one
at Changshu, one at Tangyang,
one at Shanghai and three at Can
ton.
V. S. PROTESTS
WASHINGTON, Sept 21. WV
Secretary Hull announced today
the United States had made rep
resentations to Japan in protest
against that nation's announced
intentions to bomb Nanking from
the air.
Through Ambassador Joseph C.
Grew at Tokyo and Japanese Am
bassador Hirosi Saito in Washing
ton, America conveyed to the
Japanese foreign office its op
position to the threatened aerial
attack.
Hull said the protest was based
chiefly on the grounds that the
bombing of noncombatant popula
tions was in violation of interna
tional and humanitarian laws.

War Veteran Gets
Voice Back After
Fit of Coughing
GRANTS PASS, Sept. 21. OP) '
Emil Moore of the Murphy district
can now tell how happy he is.
More than six years ago he suf
fered a serious illness caused by
inujries received in World War
service. After his illness he was
mute, although his hearing was
unimpaired.
A short while ago while Mr.
Moore was prospecting he was
seized by a paroxysm of coughing,
expelling several small pieces of
bone. One larger piece lodged in
his throat, and after removing it
with his fingers, he was surprised
to find that he could again talk.

Bis: Hole Burned in
Roof of House Here
Fire,, believed to have been
caused by a dcfrxtive flue, burned
a large hole in the roof of a
house at 1675 Columbia street
Tuesday morning, according to
the report at the city fire de
partment. The house, owned by the Fair
mount Church of Christ, was oc
cupied by Everett Hendrickson.
Extent of the damage was not
known.
Forest officials took stock of the
fire season just ending Tuesday and
expressed great satisfaction over
the relatively few fires reported in
the government lands during the
past summer.
In the Willamette national for
est, all temporary protective men,
numbering about 90, have been
taken off the forest, it was an
nounced by Roy Elliott, assistant
supervisor. There has been ap
proximately an inch and one-half
of rain in the area recently and
conditions were reported favor
able.
Recommendations that the four
closure orders be removed were
sent to the regional office Monday,
Elliott said. These areas are the
Westfir logging area above Oak
ridge, the 7-Mile hill burn in the
Santiam, the Portland creek burn
on Fall Creek and the blow-down
area on the South Fork. These area
probably will be opened in the
near future.
3-Point Rule On
The so-called three-point clos
ure is not to be lifted, however.
This means that the rule on no
smoking while traveling, camp fire
permits and the shovel, ax and
bucket regulations must be observ
ed in the forest areas.
There were only 66 fires in the
Willamette forest during the sea
son and none of these was serious.

LONDON, Sept. 21. (P) Jus
tice Hugo L. Black of the United
States supreme court has departed
for home, still declining comment
on American newspaper accounts
contending that he is a member of
theKu Klux Klan.
The justice made a dash by auto
to Southampton late yesterday and
caught the small ship, City of Nor
folk, two minutes before she sailed.
He had cancelled reservations
aboard the Manhattan when news
of his depri'.ure became public,
and quietly cooked passage on the
smaller ship, shipping circles said.
The justice, with Mrs. Black,
had been vacationing here and was
seen much about London until the
question of Klan membership was
raised. Then he demanded priv
acy and refused for the remaining
week of his stay here to make any
comment for publication.

Sky Commuting Is Latest Hobby
Of Wall Streeters; Costs Lots
11 Oishe was on her way home.
NEW YORK. Sept. 21. 00
Sky commuting is the latest hobby
of Wall streeters who like to live
in the country.
No less than twenty-eight of
them are now commuting in their
own or their friend's planes, it was
disclosed today by Robert G. Lyon,
inspector of the municipal down
town airport at Wall street and the
East river.
Among the commuters are two
of J. P. Morgan's sons, two Du
Ponts, a Morgan partner, a Har
riman, and a polo star.
They save from fifteen minutes
up, per trip, at a monthly cost of
up to approximately $1,000 each,
which reassures the railroads which
carry most of the city's half mil
lion daily commuters.
A. Felix Du Pont, Jr., is prob
ably running up to the all-time
commuter-endurance record. Ac
cording to Lyon, this member of
the Du Pont family comes in about
four times a week on a three-way
commuting system from home
and office In Wilmington. Del., to
home and office in Manhattan, to
home in Marion, Mass., then back
to Manhattan, and so on. He has
a Bellanca seaplane.
Saves Over Hour
Another long distance commuter
who saves a good deal of time over
more old-fashioned methods, is E.
Roland Harriman, another early
arriver, who gets to his Wall street
office from his own lake at Arden,
N. Y., up beyond Bear mountain,
in twenty-five minutes in his Sik
orsky amphibian. It would take
him one hour and a half by train
car commuting.
Prices of the planes range from
about $6,000 for a Fairchild to
about $43,000 for a Grumman.
Many of the commuters employ
two pilots. Gas and oil may cost
anything up from $160 per month,
depending on amount of use and
size of engines. Monthly airport
rental rate runs from $40 to $75,
depending on the size of the plane.
Most of the air commuters pay $60.
Including depreciation of the
planes, monthly operating costs
may run to $1,000 or even more.
But maybe that extra cup of
coffee for breakfast is worth $1,000
a month il ;ou have it
Dead Man Accused Of Death
Of Verna Garr Taylor
Last November
SHELBYVILLE, Ky., Sept. 21.
(U.R) The three Garr brothers of
Oldham county, members of Ken
tucky's blue grass aristocracy, to
day were charged with killing
Brigadier General Henry H. Den
hardt, 61, eleven hours before he
was to have gone on trial for the
second time, accused of murder
ing Mrs. Verna Garr Taylor, their
sister.
A joint murder warrant was
filed against Dr. E. S. Garr, Roy
Garr and Jack Garr by Coleman
Wright, Shelby county attorney, at
almost the hour that General Den
hardt, iron man of Kentucky mill
tary circles, was to have gone on
trial again at nearby New Castle
on charges of shooting to death the
beautiful 40-year-old widow to
whom he was engaged, last Nov. 7
' Culminates Mystery '
The assassination culminated a
mystery and a tragedy in this blue
grass country. It also fulfilled a
prophesy of Denhardt and of his
attorneys. Several times, they had
alleged the Garr brothers had
threatened Denhardt's life.
Mrs. Taylor, a "widow, "40 'years
old, fell in love with the 61-year-old
wealthy and distinguished Den
hardt last summer. They were en
gaged despite the objections of her
family.
Second Trial
The evening of Nov. 7, 1936,
while Mrs. Taylor and her fiance
were motoring . along a country
road, she was shot fatally. Den
hardt said she had been despondent
because of the opposition to their
marriage and had shot herself. Au
thorities said he shot her. He was
tried early this year at New Castle
and the jury disagreed. In the
same courtroom, he would have
gone on trial a second time today.

BE DO PRESIDENT
MOSCOW, Idaho, Sept. 21. M
Friends of Dr. M. G. Neale, who
said they could not be quoted, re
ported today they were informed
reliably the former University of
Idaho president was considering
the possibility of a transfer to the
University of Oregon presidency.
Willard Marks, member of the
Oregon state board of higher edu
cation, was quoted as declaring
at Albany: 'There has been abso
lutely no offer of the University
of Oregon presidency to anyone."
E. C. Sammons, of Portland,
member of the board of higher
education, also dismissed Mos
cow reports that Dr. M. G. Neale
had been offered the presidency
of the University of Oregon.
"This Is the first time I have
heard his name mentioned," he
said.
Dr. Neale resigned at Idaho
last spring to become professor of
education administration at the
University of Minneapolis. In
Minneapolis Neale would not
comment "one way or another"
on the report.
Dr. Frederick M. Hunter, Ore
