Ten Consul Sends Warnings to Britons in Orient Tokyo, Jan. 31 VP) A BrltUh con aular official's advice to certain British residents to leave Japan "before the Impending crisis In American-Japanese relations comes to a head" was disclosed by reliable In formants today. Wilfred W. McVlttle, acting con sul general in Yokohama, was said to have sent a letter of warning to a selected list of about 30 Britons In his district. Why these were selected was not explained. It was said that Britons In Tokyo and other cities received no such let ters. The informants said McVlttle's letter read as follows: "British subjects who have no Im portant reason to remain in Japan are advised to leave by the regular shipping routes before the Impending crisis in American-Japanese rela tions comes to a head. "Should war be declared it is probable that: "1. Sailings of ships of all nation alities will be cancelled. "2. Hurried evacuation will not be possible. "3. British subjects will not be free to use their money or property. "4. They will not be able to com municate with their consuls and some may be Interned. "5. A neutral government will then endeavor to arrange for their evacuation and the payment of liv ing allowances if Japanese authori ties permit." United states residents In Japan were advised by the Washington state department last October to leave Japan, China and other orlcn tal territories. Several hundred al ready have left Japan. No new ad- vice has been Issued to Americans recently. Church Observes 6th Anniversary The Englewood church of the United Brethren In Christ, nth and Nebraska avenue, will celebrate the sixth anniversary of the completion of the present church building Frl- ' day night. There will be a no-host dinner at 0:30 which will be follow ed by a special program befitting the occasion. Bishop Ura D. War ner, of the Pacific area of the Unit ed Brethren denomination will be present. He will be accompanied by Ira Hawley, superintendent of the Oregon conference. Rev. R. C Mann, former pastor and others are expected to take part In the program. . Several committees are working hard to make the event outstanding in the history of the church. The Englewood church was found ed In the 400 block on Marion street' In 1908 with 38 members. Later It was moved to the present location and named Castle chapel In mem ory of Bishop Castle. In 1835 the building which now houses the con gregatlon was constructed and named Englewood United Brethren after the community. All members and friends are cor dially invited to attend the eve nlng's program. Corruption in Democracies Hit Pittsburgh, Jan. 31 (P) Dr. Ralph C. Hutchison, president of Wash lngton and Jefferson college, be lieves Adolf Hitler Is right In "preaching to the world about cor ruption in democracies, because our individualism has gotten out of bounds, has gone to seed and is unsanctifled and unregenerated." "We need no argument that de mocracy seems to develop corrup tion," he told a group of Presby terian pastors, "Our courts are filled with the trials of corrupt of ficials. In this state alone In the past 10 years corruption has become a by-word." As a remedy, he said, "we Just need to waken ourselves up to the fact that we face In this country and individualism which has grown out of Christianity and now goes to seed In widespread corruption. More needs to be said in the name of decency and righteousness." He added: "It is no wonder we are confused when we have a depraved maniac telling us what we need to be told and proving it. It's gotten so confusing today that we have the pagan society of the totalitarian countries advocating a return to work at longer hours if necessary, which is a fundamental principle of the Christian philosophy, while we advocate more laziness."

' 0 rf&rl Homer Holcomb Fractures Leg Denver, Jan. 21 VP) Most of the cow-waddles were strung out along the home trail today, but one of the performers who kept National Western Stock show crowds In an uproar all last week wusn't among them. Homer Holcomb of Hayward, Calif., whose funny antics relieved some of the tense moments In the arena, was in a Denver hospital with a fractured leg, the victim of a rampaging Brahma steer. It's part of his Job as rodeo clown to distract the attention of the giant steers until their riders can reach safety. But at Saturday night's clos ing performance he couldn't avoid the animal which had been ridden by Charles Colbert of Byers, Texas, and the steer trampled him. Chief honors for the year's stock show rodeo went to Dene Prultt, Ya kima, Wash., in saddle bronc bust ing.

McMahan Comments On Judicial Bills Disapproval of an additional judge for this judicial dis trict is expressed in a statement issued by Circuit Judge L. H. McMahan, although he does express himself as favorable to a transfer of Juvenile and probate matters to the jurisdiction of the circuit court. In a formal statement he says: Two proposed changea are under con sideration. One Is to provide ' another circuit Judge for this district, and. Inci dentally, to make an extra lucrative of fice for some lawyer. With about three office holders In this atate to two that re necessary. If more offices are created It will be only a few years until the tax payers will all be bankrupts. One offered excuse for this proposed hill Is that the dockets are congested. This false statement was started months ago to mislead the public so as to pave the way for the creation of a new and highly lucrative office. Attorneys Blamed About six months aso I set 32 cases for trial. I held the Jury panel subject to call for over six weeks and I tried Just one case during that time. The day after Armistice day I set many cases for trial and I was able to get Just three rather unimportant ones tried. This month I dismissed 30 cases over a year on the docket because the attorneys would not try them. There has been no congested docket; there Is none now. Another proposition Is to place probate and Juvenile work Into the circuit court, make this county Into one district and provide for another Judge to handle the extra work thus added In the district. No one Judge could do nil the work in thin county even without the addition of probate and Juvenile work added thereto. This proposed law would be beneficial, because It would afford protection to all estates In probate and taice the Juvenile work out of petty politics.

In the last years four millions of dollars paid by harassed taxpayers have been expended by men whose business experience was lim ited to managing a farm and who were so Inefficient that they could be hired for S150 a month. Such business folly as this is a sad reflection upon ability of the taxpayers to protect their own interests. Petty Cases Bothersome A law should be passed to confine petty cases or J250 or less to the courts or Jus tices of peace, where the litigants and not the taxpayers would pay the costs. consumed over four days with 13 Jurors at an expense of over $400 trying one case involving only 148.50.

Lew Wallace (D., Multnomah), said last night. Two other reapportionment meas ures previously were drawn. Multnomah county would retain seven senators and 13 representa tlves under Wallace's proposal. The reapportionment plan of Rep. R. L. Neuberger (D.. Multnomah), would increase the Multnomah delegation at the expense of up-state coun ties. Another offered by Rep. E. W. Kimberling (R., Grant), would not change Multnomah's delegation but would give each county at least one representative. All Oregon residents between 21 and 60 years who have lived 10 years in the state would pay one per cent of their earnings to the old age Insurance fund with a $15 annual maximum payment, under a bill prepared by state Labor Com missioner C.

Stassen of Minnesota sug gested today the creation of a su preme defense council composed ol President Roosevelt and congress ional leaders to exercise "the great powers and authority" which the lease-lend bill would delegate to the president. Asserting the most serious objec tion to the measure arose from the "unprecedented" delegation of leg islative power to the chief executive the republican governor said the council idea would be a step toward avoiding "internal controversy." The proposal was submitted by Stassen to the opening meeting ol the council of state governments oi which he is president. "The great responsibility which the executive bears for a successful foreign policy and for the national security," he said, "could well give rise to the necessity for great lati tude and authority for quick and decisive action. 'It would, therefore, appear that the device used In some states for collaboration between the legislative and executive branches of the gov ernment might well be used In this instance by the federal government." Stassen said such a council, in cluding both majority ana minority leaders of the house and senate, could "rapidly and effectively de cide" any questions arising under the plan for aid to Great Britain. He declared presence of minority leaders would be a "tremendous force for national confidence and unity." Asserting that government of free men and free women was being sub jected to its greatest challenge since the first blueprint was drawn at Philadelphia, Stassen said the re sponsibility of representatives of state governments seemed clear. Dairy Company Loses Damage Suit The state supreme court upheld today a Multnomah county cir cuit court judgment in which Erlck son's Dairy Products company fail ed to collect damages from the northwest Baker Ice Machine com pany. The dairy company, which owns a plant at Newberg, contended that the Ice Machine company caused a fire which burned the building, In which the Ice Machine company was installing equipment. The dairy company contended the fire was started by welding machinery used in the installation. The decision by Justice Belt up held Judge Pro Tern Arthur M. Dib ble of Portland.

Neely was re lieved of his extra duties as city marshal at a special meeting of the city council last night. Inability to qualify under provisions of the city charter was the reason for the change which gave the office to Tony Ramlg, city traffic officer, with no increase in pay. The city charter requires that the person named city marshal must have been a resident of the city for at least six months. The action of the council does net in any manner affect Neely In any other capacity and he Is still street superintendent and head of the city water depart ment.
