IN TARIFF RACE WITH ENGLAND Last Of Free-Trade Nations Turns Protectionist At 5 P.

M. Today 200 VESSELS DOCK IN THAMES ESTUARY Lloyds Issues Insurance Against Failure To Arrive Ahead Of Deadline By the Associated Press London, Feb. 28 The London dock district in the Thames estuary las jammed today with ships from all parts of the world which hoped to pass customs before 5 P. M. Monday, when Great Britain erects her ten oer cent, tariff wall.

With the opening of customs houses Tuesday morning a general ten jer cent, tariff will be levied against all imports with only few exceptions, marking the passing of the world's last great free trade country. Other Ships Race For Ports While an estimated 200 cargo ves sels stood at docks or in the lower reaches of the Thames awaiting berths, other ships raced against fierce Chan nel gales reach London, Hull or other Southern British ports to un load before thi zero hour Monday. Among the vessels in Tilbury Dodt was the United States liner President Harding, which, for the first time in her. history, has caller' at London with a general cargo. She broke into her usual passenger run from New York to Hamburg via Cobh and Plymouth to make the stop.

About 400 men were employed to unload her and they worked by pre lights all last night so the task could be finished and the vessel proceed with her fretting passengers. Ships Carry Full Cargoes Other vessels already docked or awaiting berths included ships of Germany, Belgium, Finland, Russia, Holland, Portugal, Denmark and Spain. Thousands of tons of fruit vegetables, tinned milk, margarine, bacon, butter, eggs, hardware, glassware and textile goods arrived today at Hull Extra cargoes of grain, oil, sago, rice, and flour reached Liverpool in ships from Spain, China and Japan. There also were vast consignments of timber from Denmark and Sweden unloading at Liverpool. The S.

S. Tairoa, which arrived in' the Thames yesterday, hastily unloaded 205,000 ($705,200) in butter and' cheese from New Zealand. Tariff Insurance Issued For several days Lloyds and other insurance brokers have done a moderate business insurance against fail ure to arrive ahead of the deadline, one ship's owner having paid 2,500 ($8,600) protection against payment of 5,000 ($17,200) duty if the ship got in late. The tariff measure, which passed the House of Commons Thursday night, will be given its final reading in the House of Lords and royal assent to' morrow. The measure is primarily a protec' tive one to give British products pref erence among British buyers, but rev' enue derived will aid in keeping the budget balanced as well.

FASCISTS PUS TO MARCH ON HELS1N6F0RS "Down With Marxism," Slogan Of Finland's Army Of Lapuans 1,000 ARMED MEN MEET NEAR CAPITAL Cabinet, After Emergency Session, Orders Out Gov ernment Troops By the Associated Press Helsingfors, Feb. 28 The army was ordered tonight to prevent a march on the capital by thousands of Fin nish Fascists, massed within thirty five miles of Helsingfors. The Cabinet, after an emergency meeting, announced it had information that members of the Lapua, the Fas cists of Finland, Intended to march on Helsingfors in a drive against Marxism (Communism). President Pchr Edwin Svlnhufvud and high army officials attended the Cabinet meeting. Opposed To Marxism The Lapuans, said a Cabinet source had a definite program, the main point represented by the slogan, "Down with Marxism," but also included other aims.

They met recently in Mantsnla to organize the movement and there decided to march on Helsingfors. The Government learned that 4,000 armed men were concentrating in Mantsala Parish, and were saying they could muster 20,000 men for a march on the capital. Hundreds more were reported en route from Ostrobothnia to Mantsala to join the movement AnrlatO(l Prom Kdltnr'i Nolo An KtchaiiKd Ti-li'umili (lUpntcli all nWH)RHr uion who trlcil In rvarh MiiniHHla by motor cur founil all roail li'Hcllnn to the town KUarduil ly irun-il patrnlH.

The Inaiirirontii threatened to ilPKtniy ciiiiiitkk If tho uuwa mcu tried to take Demand Officials Resign Earlier in the day word had come from Mantsala, a town thirty-five miles northeast of Helsingfors, that a band of 4,000 armed men had taken charge of the parish and were demanding the resignation of Gov.

Krudo Jalander, of Nyland province, and of the Minister of the Interior, Baron E. von Born. Tha Government declared a state of siege. At first it was thought the band of Lapua had congregated to prevent reprisals for a disturbance of yesterday, when 400 men, armed with machine guns, shot up a labor meeting. Apparently none was injured, but the group warned a Social Democrat in the Finnish Diet who was lecturing on Marxism, never to -show his face in Mantsala again.

Forty police were helpless to interfere. Calls Situation Critical Minister von Born, before the Cabl net meeting tonight told the Asso ciated Press the situation at Mant sala had created a "critical situation throughout the country." "The police are absolutely powerless to deal with this kind of disturbance," he said, "and order can be restored only with the help of the army and the civil guard." Able To Maintain Order It was widely reported late tonight that the President had decided to order the head of the army, Lieut. Gen. Aarne Sihvo to "take all necessary steps" to quell projected coup d'etat. Sihvo told the Associated Press: "At any rate, I am able to maintain order in Helsingfors." Government sources said they believed the leader of the movement at Mantsala was Martti Wallenius, former chief of the army general staff, who was discharged from his post two years ago for his alleged part in the kidnapping of a former President of Finland, Stnhl berg.

Group Has Great Power The Lapua, or Lappo, is the answer of the peasants of Southern Finland to communism, and has sprung up in the last two years with great vigor and I rigorous system of military discipline, As early as July, 1930, the group had become so powerful as to gain a Presi dential review of a parade in the capi tal and cheers from 20,000 Helsingfors residents who lined the route of march. Gen. Krudo Jalander, the Governor of Nyland province, whose resignation was demanded by the Lapua yestcr day, at one time charged them with threatening his death unless he resigned. He had earned their enmity by his sarcastic criticisms of their methods. Favor Democratic Government The Communist movement In Fin land has brought some harsh meas ures from the Government which at various times has accused Soviet plot tors of being active.

Only tvo years ago, Sourine Erzink- ian, one-time head of the Soviet trade delegation in Helsingfors, was tried on charges of having issued a false bill of exchange.

Cal. Feb. 28-Dr.

Robert A. Millikan, discoverer of the cosmic ray, said-today he thinks the amount of weight given for the "neutron," reported as just discovered by James Chadwick, of Cambridge University, England, was too much. This carticle was reported in dis patches as so small it would take, of them to weigh an ounce. Dr. Millikan and other scientists at the California Institute of Technology estimated it would take many times this number to weigh an ounce, but, lacking detailed information, they did not attempt an exact figure.

Cites Difficulties Dr. Millikan said it was difficult to differentiate between the effect of the photon as observed by him and his assistant Dr. Carl Anderson, and the neutron. "The simplest possible suggestion of a neutron, positive and negative elec-. trons tied close together and therefore showing no electrical field, has been made repeatedly during the last two years," he said, "usually with a view to simple interpretation of certain cosmic ray effects.

Feb. 28 -The rescue of twenty-two men in mid-Atlantic and the sinking of a New York fishing schooner in Nantucket Sound today were added to the pages of the adventures of seafaring men. The crew of the Danish freighter Aggersund, in peril since Wednesday when she called for aid, were carried to safety by the crew of the steamer Blankaholm, 600 miles off Cape Race, N. according to radio advices received today by Coast Guard headquarters, i No Lives Lost In Either The unfortunate fishing schooner was the George W.

Lamont came to Colorado fifteen years ago after leaving the army St the close of the World War. He specializes in the breeding of Hereford cattle. Regardless of his decision on the Russian offer, Lamont said he would not dispose either of his Colorado ranch or his herd of fancy Herefords.

He explained his consideration of the Russian offer is wholly without political significance. "I am interested purely as a stock man," he said. "I am not a politician The problem of the Russians in try ing to improve the quality of their live stock is so tremendous that no stockman could help but be in terested." Mr. Lamont said that if he accepted the Russian offer he probably would sign a one-year contract Although the initial offer of the Russian Gov. eminent was said to be $50,000 a year, Lamont's decision, his friends said would depend on the willingness of the country to tackle its cattle-breed ing problem in scientific way, rather than on any question of salary.

It was estimated that approximately sixty-five per cent, of the qualified voters cast ballots. Eduardo Estrada was shot to death in Quemado de Guines, Santa Clara province. He was with Representative Ricardo Campo, Liberal, at the time.

An undetermined number of persons were injured. Santiago dispatches said three bombs exploded there, one in the home of Senator Carlos Clavel, another in that of Dr. Eduardo Hacha, brother of the Mayor, and the third in front of the Provincial Palace. Alarm at the Pro vincial Palace explosion proved fatal to Senora Flora Aguero, who had just given birth to a child.

THERE MAY BE TWO views in Okla- homa about Alfalfa Bill Murray as a man, a statesman and a Presidential prospect There is only one view of him as a politician, however. His most jaundiced detractors concede he is a good one.

Certainly no outside observer lucky enough to attend the State convention that recently in dorsed his candidacy in this city could cherish a doubt of that THE GREAT AUDITORIUM was jammed. The scene was laid out like a national convention. Every county had a double delegation. All had their separate standards on which the county name blazed in red, black and blue. The band played furiously, flags waved, the galleries and delegates cheered wildly, a little girl squeakily sang a hymn of victory for the Okla homa hero.

On the platform were thickly massed the State leaders, men and women, prominent citizens from every section, the lieutenants and sublieutenants of the Boss. AND, OF COURSE, the Boss was Bill. There in the first row of chairs second from the middle aisle he sat a gaunt, stooped, dark-clad figure, with one long leg crossed over the other, wrinkled socks showing under pushed-up trousers, long gray hair slightly tousled, a big black cigar in his mouth, his sallow, thin face solemn, his keen eyes watch ful. Surrounded by his satellites and facing the enthusiastic mass of his followers, he directed and dictated every move of that convention down to thet most minute detail. It was a' gathering without will or thought of its own.

It had turned itself completely over to this man to do with what he wanted. It was there for one purpose to do his will, to show its confidence and devotion to its leader. BEFORE EVERY ROUTINE motion the "chairman, stepping slightly back and to the right, whisperingly conferred with 'the Idol, who, with one thin hand back of his left ear, would gravely nod his head or utter a brief word. Then but not until then did the chairman function. Every announcement and every speech and every motion was preceded by this performance in full view of the audience.

The orators of the occasion were those designated previously by the Governor. The reports were those he had approved beforehand; the resolutions those her had drawn personally. THE FINAL TOUCH was given when the convention unanimously and with tremendous cheering turned over to the Governor the power to personally name the complete list of Oklahoma delegates to the national convention Following this the hero arose and, from a typewritten paper in his hand, read the names of forty-two men and women whom he wanted to go to Chicago his own name leading. If any such thing has happened before in a State convention in any State it cannot be recalled. AFTER LIST was ratified unanimously and without debate a resolution was adopted pledging the Oklahoma delegation to vote for Governor Murray for the Presidential nomination so long as there was a chance of his selection.

Then for the first time there did arise a difference of opinion in the convention. It seemed this was not strong enough to suit the delegates. Various suggestions were made from the floor. It was declared vehemently by one delegate that the words "so long as there was a chance" seemed to imply doubt about the Governor's nomination. There was no doubt, he said, there could be no doubt, and the thing to do was to instruct the delegation in such a way that it would stay in Chicago until the job intrusted to it was accomplished.

Substitutes were offered embodying the words "until he shall be nomi nated." THE CHAIRMAN seemed slightly baffled by the discussion. The idol sat smoking the big cigar and looking on seriously, while his followers vied with each other to show their devotion. Finally the chairman stepped back; there was a whispered word with the idol; then a slight interval while the chairman busied himself with the gavel. And then the en. thuslastic delegates who had been so insistent before, one by one arose and asked permission to withdraw their motions.

It was a remarkable per formance. No one saw exactly how the word from the throne had reached (Continued on Page 2, Column 6) Mrs. J. H. Hope Victim Of Masked Intruder.

Husband At Sea NEIGHBOR'S HOME ALSO IS INVADED Assailant Thought. Ori entalOutrage Revives Tense Crime Situation By KCSSEI.I, OWEN Special Dispatch to Th Sun Honolulu, Feb. 28 (By able) -Another attack on the wife of a navy man, which may affect tremendously the entire situation here and has again aroused excitement among naval officers and reduced the civilian authorities to speechless rage, occurred last night in the Waikiki section. The latest victim is Mrs. John Henry Hooe, wife of a first-class machinist's mate on the submarine S-28, now en route to San Diego.

Believes Assailant An Oriental Mrs. Hope said she believed her assailant was an Oriental. The crime was notreported to the police until hours after it had occurred, due to the victim's terror. Mrs. Hope also robbed, as" was another woman, a neighbor, but the latter was not There is no doubt that the entire citywhich as yet is not aware of the crime will be intensely stirred by this new outrage.

When it appeared that everything was becoming quiet and the local authorities had taken drastic steps to curb gangs, when new laws had been passed making possible the death sentence for attacks on women and better prosecution, this new crime has served to show that men responsible for outrages on women have not at all been checked by these measures. Masked Man Invades, Home The man who broke into Mrs. Hope's house was masked. She is frail woman whose legs have been affected by infantile paralysis, and was unable to resist the attack. He entered the house about 7.30 P.

M. She was alone. Her home is on a slope of Diamond Head, the famous harbor landmark and fortification. Mrs. Hope was about to turn on the radio when her assailant entered and asked for money.

She gave him $4.50, then he dragged her into the living room and told her to sit in a rocking chair for half an hour. Then Goes To Neighbor's The man then went to the home of Mm D. W. Currv. which is near by.

Her husband is an electrician's mate on a submarine. A curious factor in connection with the latest outrage is that Lieut Thnmas Massie. U. S. the as sault on whose wife precipitated the present situation in Honolulu, is also connected with the submarine base.

Editor's Note Lieutenant Mansle, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Granville R. Fortescue, socially prominent in New York and Washington, and two enlisted men are now awaiting trial at Honolulu on second-degree-murder charges in connection with the 1ng January 8 of Joseph Kahahawai, one nf the five- men accused ot attack-; ing Mrs. Massie. The man entered Mrs.

Curry's home and asked for money. When she told him she had none, he opened a box of chocolates and raised his mask while he ate a few. He then threatened to attack her. but changed his mind when he heard Hope calling for help. Mask Slips From Face He returned to the Hope home poked a pistol through the screen door and threatened to shoot unless Mrs.

Hope opened the door. When she did so, he carried her into a room, tied her to a bed and attacked her. During this time the mask slipped off and she saw his face. The man then gave her a kimono and let her sit down while he smoked a cigar and offered her a cigarette. Then he told her to get into the bed on the porch and stay there, which she did until Mrs.

Curry arrived and stayed with her until they dared to leave the house and go to neighbors to call the police. Suspect Denies Crime A larjse of two hours and a half ore vented any immediate chase of the man, but Mrs. Curry tentatively identified the picture of a man known as a bootlegger, who was arrested and held as a suspect, although denying the attack. An examination at the Emergency Hospital proved the attack beyond doubt All members of the Detective Bureau were called on duty and sent out to search for men who might be identified with the crime, and police cars began scouring the city.

HARRIS Copyright, 1932, by the Associated Press Shanghai, Feb. 29 (Monday)' Shanghai's battle swung back to the wreckage of Chapei with the fall of Kiangwan today as several thousand fresh Japanese troops poured in to find rumors circulating of a Japanese plan of peace with the Army of China. It brought the warfare to the door of the International Settlement. JapancsQ artillery, machine gunners, airplanes and infantry attacked the ruins of Chapei in a general offensive to oust the Chinese from positions occupied since the hostilities began on that battlefield the night of January 28. Tho Chinese replied with their trench mortars.

REPORTED PROPOSALS OUTLINED Reports of the Japanese peace proposals, which were unconfirmed, outlined them as follows 1. Both the Chinese and Japanese troops would withdraw to a definite line. 2. A committee of Chinese and Japanese, including neutrals if desired, would be appointed to supervise the withdrawal. 3.

Provisions for the protection of foreign and Chinese interests, the status of Shanghai and the policing of the evacuated zone would be discussed at a round-table conference of all interested parties, including foreigners. PLANES AND ARTILLERY ACTIVE Meanwhile the battle roared on. Shortly before noon Japanese bombing planes swept over Chapei, dropping explosives on the Chinese positions, while the artillery in Ilongkew Park, inside R. P. Lamont, Is Offered Job As Soviet Cattle Czar Son Of Commerce Secretary Going To Moscow To Talk Over Offer To Direct Scheme To Develop Industry By the Associated Press Council Of League Studies Proposal Advanced By Japan Associated Prci Copyrioht, 19321 Geneva, Feb.

28The "neutral twelve" of the League of Nations Council were busy today studying Informal proposals received yesterday from Japan with rcgarc to "some scheme for a truce at Shanghai and the establishment of a neutral zone," but kept their deliberations secret It was learned from Informed quarters that tho Japanese proposals were not likely to receive a favorable response from the Chinese authorities. Privste Meeting Todsy The Japanese circulated their suggestions to individual members of the Council only and did not present them to the League Secretariat or the Council as a body. No immediate response appeared likely tonight, but the twelve Council-men made an appointment for private meeting tomorrow afternoon. Tokyo's latest suggestions, as presented by Naotake Sato, the Japanese representative in Geneva, were understood to include the former proposal for retirement of the Chinese Army a certain distance from Shanghai. What distance and what other condi- the Settlement boomed.

Japanese machine gunners and infantrymen swept the Chinese lines with a hail of bullets. The Chinese were not caught napping. Without a moment's delay, Chinese bullets were pumped into tho Japanese positions, forcing the enemy to stay well covered as were the Chinese. Chinese artillery remained silent Apparently the defenders did not wish to expose the positions of their guns to the Japanese airmen. The Chinese artillery on the Chapei front has confined its activities principally to night firing.

Echo In Business District The explosions in Chapei echoed loudly in the business districts of Shanghai. With the outbreak of the artillery fire the United States marine lines tightened along the Settlement where its northern border faces Chapei, although the fighting was a considerable distance from the marine positions, the danger of stray shells falling among the marines was considered grave, as shells of former artillery actions in Chapei had fallen there. Marine patrols along Soochow creek took the utmost precautions by staying in their barricades, which had been covered over with steel and sand against the very danger threatening them today. Japanese naval authorities said noon today that three Japanese ten Denver, Feb. 28 Robert P.

Lamont, son of the Commerce Secretary, left today for New York, where he will sail on "the first boat available" for Moscow, to consider directing a Soviet scheme to develop the cattle industry. In Moscow, Lamont will spend six weeks and decide then whether he accepts the Soviet offer, which would give him complete charge of cattle breeding. Mrs. Lamont the former Frances Kent widely known sculp-turess, did not accompany her husband to New York. Lamont will return to his ranch, forty miles south of Denver, after he completes his preliminary survey in Russia.

If he accepts the position Mrs. Lamont will accompany him back to Moscow. "My negotiations by correspondence with the Soviet Government officials have not been entirely satisfactory," Mr. Lamont said today. "I am going to Russia to study the situation.

The Soviet officials are hopeful of raising the per capita consumption of live stock to 100 pounds a year, which would place it on a parity with this country. It would take about twenty years to accomplish this." Mr. Lamont said Russia has about 35,000,000 cattle and 17,000,000 sheep, as compared to the 65,000,000 cattle (Continued on Page 7, Column 6) (Continued on Page 7, Column 4) (Contlnued on Page 2, Column 5).
