SEC Inquires
Into Bond Sales
By Japanese
Honolulu, Dec. 21 tfp The se
curities and exchange commission
pressed an Investigation today of
report unregistered Japanese em
ergency bonds totaling one million
yen (about $280,000) were being of
fered for sale In this area of hea
vy Japane.se population.
Roger Kent, SBC attorney of San
Francisco, revealed the Investiga
tion after two days' intensive work
during which witnesses were sub
poenaed and questioned.
"The SEC received information
to the effect one million yen of un
registered Japanese emergency
bonds were being publicly offered
In the territory," Kent said In dis
closing his mission here. "When
the commission receives , informa
tion of this nature it conducts an
Investigation to determine wheth
er the law Is being, or has been
violated. I am here to make that
Investigation."
Hawaii's total population of 396,
715 Includes 161,141 Japanese, of
whom 113,289 are American citizens
and 37,852 are aliens. About 25,000,
although being bom In American
Hawaii, remain technically subject
to the mikado as well as citizens of
the United States, because their
births were recorded at the Japan
ese consulate.
Kent explained that by unregis
tered bonds was meant bonds not
registered with the SEC in Wash
ington, and therefore illegal for
public offering in United States.
He said he had no statement to
make at present on whether the
law had been violated.
Federal officials said offering of
unregistered bonds could be pre
vented by injunction proceedings
Instituted in federal courts. They
said criminal charges, if filed, would
be handled through the United
States prosecutor's office.

Ward Olis Tharp
Will be Freed
Boise, Idaho, Dec. 21 W) Gov.
Barzilla W. Clark disclosed Tues
day the Idaho pardon board had
voted to free Ward Otis Tharp,
CI, convicted slayer, who founded
a grocery business In Phoenix, Ariz.,
after escaping from the penitentiary
farm near here October 1, 1931.
Tharp was convicted of killing
Mrs. Lois Bowen at Twin Falls, Ida
ho, in 1926. He got a life sentence.
He fled from the prison farm,
hitch-hiked to the Pacific north
west, thence south to California and
finally settled In Phoenix, where he
assumed the name Ward Groves.
He was Identified as Tharp and
returned to prison April 27. 1933.
Officials said Mrs. Tharp and
their son still operate the grocery
store in Phoenix. Friends support
ed the man's fight against extra
dition to Idaho.
Governor Clark, commenting on
the pardon, said it "looked to me as
though It was a free-for-all scram
ble with Tharp pulling the trigger
of his own gun while the Bowens
were trying to take it away from
him."
Mrs. Boren was killed during a
neighborhood altercation.

Famous Editor of
Dictionaries Passes
New York, Dec. 21 (&) Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, 74,
widely known lexicographer, died today of pneumonia. Of
ficials of Funk and Wagnalls said Dr. Vizetelly died about
midnight In the Fifth Avenue hos-
pital, where he had been confined
since December 2, suffering from I
pluerisy and pneumonia. i
He had been associated with!
Funk and Wagnalls for 46 years
as editor of the reference depart-,
ment. I
Survivors include his widow. Ber
tha, and a daughter, Mrs. Norma
Cochrane.
When he went to work for Funk
and Wagnalls when that organiza
tion was compiling its "Standard
Dictionary." His part of the Job em
braced the training of definers in
the art of drafting definitions of
words.
As the work progressed he came
to specialize more and more in de
finitions of wines, typography and
critical reviewing.
Jn 1913 Dr. Vizetelly was named
managing editor of the unabridg
ed dictionary of the firm, succeed
ing the late Dr. Isaac K. Funk.
During his association with this
book the number of vocabulary
terms It contained was Increased
more than B0 per cent, and It was
necessary for him to become one
of the mast widely read men In the
country In order to keep abreast
of new words and search out old
Dallas Stop Street
Signs Are Increased
Dallas Stop streets In the city
were augmented Monday night
when the city council passed an
ordinance designating certain points
throughout the city as stop streets.
The step follows closely on the
heels of the recent street Improve
ment program which was completed
this past summer when some eigh
teen blocks were paved.
The council played Santa Claus
to the city marshal, Tony Neufeldt,
and the street commissioner, Dave
Warren, when the members ap
proved an Increase In pay for both
officers. Other business transact
ed was of a routine nature.
Avon, it was his contention, used
about 23,000 words while the medi
cal man of today has 25,000 or more
at his command.
An educated man, he remarked on
another occasion, ought to know 50,
000 words. One of the words, the
origin of which attracted his at
tention when it hit Broadway and
new popularity, was "whoopee."
That expression, the learned doctor
concluded after research, was about
five centuries old.
His authority on words and his In.
fluence were manifest in his grand
daughter, Jeanne Vizetelly Cochrane,
who reached the age of six early in
1935 with the remarkable vocabulary
of 10,000 words. Dr. Vizetelly was
proud of that.

Vizetelly was a native of Eng
land and for a time was a special
correspondent for French publica
tions. His father was a master
printer.
Vizetelly came to New York In
1891 after conducting a publishing
house In England. His first Job
was with Punk and Wagnalls and
It was with them he became In
ternationally famous for his work
on their dictionaries.
His Interest In words slang par
ticularly never languished, and he
was forever checking newspapers
and other publications seeking new
and more expressive words and trac
ing their origin.
He was the author of more than
a score of volumes on the English
language and philological subjects.
Once, in an address before the
phonetic society at Columbia uni
versity, Dr. Vizetelly urged a new
English alphabet, arguing that the
one now In use was Inadequate to
express the multiple sounds In the
language.

at another time, has a vocabulary
