One factor in this' decision apparently was the 'desire to avoid friction with foreign -including American, -stationed -in4 the- Shan-haikwan area. A Japanese War Office spokesman said the Shanhaikwan clash was "in nowise connected with the intentions of the Japanese Army ultimately, to make Jehol unmistakably a part of Manchukuo." Jehol is the province between Manchuria and China proper. Press dispatches from Tokio reported that the Shanhaikwan action involved land, sea and air forces and that the Chinese retreated, leaving many dead.

In Peiplng, Gen Chang Hsiao-Liang, ousted as Governor of Manchuria by the Japanese more than a year ago, was warned by Japanese military and naval officials that he would be held responsible for any developments resulting from the Shanhaikwan hostilities. In Shanghai, Dr T. V. Soong, China's Finance Minister, declared the Shanhaikwan attack was mother step "in the carefully, laid. plans of Japanese militarists" to invade Mongolia and North China.

AMERICAN TROOPS NEAR CHINESE BATTLE AREA TOKIO, Jan 3 (A. that the battle of Shanhaikwan had ended in the complete rout of the Chinese was followed today by a Government statement that the Japanese command in the field had been given orders 1 to localize the conflict. War and Foreign Office officials agreed at a conference that instructions should be sent to Gens Nobuyoshl Muto and Kotaro Nakamura to attempt to put an end to the fighting before it spread further. From Japanese military headquarters at Tientsin tho Ren go (Japanese) News Agency relayed a communique which said that the Shanhaikwan action ended at 2 m. Today with complete victory for the land, sea and air forces of Japan.

The Chinese retreated in the direction of Lwanchow, SO miles to the southwest, the dispatch reported, and they left many dead on. the battle, field. Japanese losses were put at one lieutenant and ot)e sergeant killed, and many soldiers wounded. American Troops Near At the conference of War and Foreign Office officials it was reported that representatives of both Ministers agreed there was danger of friction with foreign troops stationed in the Shanhaikwan area in accordance with the Boxer Protocol of "1901. These include some American units.

A War Office spokesman, announcing that orders to localize the conflict already had been dispatched, said that much depended on. whether: Chinese leaders "cooperate sincerely in the efforts to restore A truce already has been proposed, the spokesman but the Japanese authorities are reinforcing their troops. "It is not possible, therefore, to say definitely that the fighting will be. localized or to predict where it la likely to spread," the spokesman said. JaT' i If II ilk.

aV2 4 I priced You "I can say; however, that" the clash at Shanhaikwan was entirely unforeseen by our aide and was in nowise connected with the intentions of the Japanese Army ultimately to make Jehol unmistakably a part of Man-chulctio. (Jehol Is a province lying be-teen Manchuria- and China proper. Shanhaikwan would be a logical jumping off place for the Japanese in the event of a campaign to con- quer the province.) Japanese Version The Japanese version of the origin 1 the conflict "is that it was preceded by numerous skirmishes in the last few weeks in the southern border of Manchuria. Sunday evening, the Japanese said, 529 bombs were, founde in a Japanese box, and thereupon troops in a Shanhaikwan suburb were dispatched to the. city to protect Japanese Nationals.

Battle ensued. Press dispatches said the fighting in the coastal district south and west of Shanhaikwan was severe, with the Japanese destroyers Fuyo and Asagao, as. well as numerous airplanes, participating. tt k. The War Office spokesman, however, said official reports indicated that only the 8th Brigade of Chinese troops and five companies of Japanese were involved in the action.

Warship in Readiness The' Rengo correspondent at Tientsin i reported- that Maj-Gen Suzuki from Suichung had established headquarters at the Shanhaikwan Railway station and had commanded operations in which a considerable portion of his brigade took. part. The total Chinese strength was estimated at 15,000. Warships at the Sasebo Naval Base were ordered to be in readiness to proceed to Shanhaikwan at a moment's notice. Rear-Admiral Shizuye Tsuda, commanding Japanese ships in North China was en route to Shanhaikwan from Tsingtao aboard his flagship, the cruiser Hirato.

The Japanese communique obtained by the Rengo Agency at Tientsin said that a Japanese destroyer shelled a Chinese regiment en route to the fighting from Chinwangtao, just to the southwest' of Shanhaikwan, and turned the regiment back. Sixty Japanese women and children, residents of Chinwangtao, were put aboard a Japanese -warship for safety. Both Armies Resting Japanese 'military communiques reaching- here today said eight Japanese' soldiers were killed and 31 wounded in the occupation of Shanhaikwan and environs. The communiques said quiet reign ed early today at the Chinese walled city; All information- available here indicated the Chnese main forces had retreated in disorderly fashion south-westward from Shanhaikwan, and under Maj Gen Suzuki, halted their pursuit; at sundown. Thereafter, advices reaching here said, the two forces were nowhere in contact except in the western portion of Shanhaikwan, where Japanese were engaging sporadic conflicts.

Today sides were apparently resting, on their arms while tentative "feelers" were being sent out to determine whether the next move would be one of war or peace. Chinese Admit Defeat TIENTSIN, China, Jan 3 (A. (Delayed 10 Hours By Censor) Following general attack and bombardment of Shanhaikwan this morning; in which' two Japanese gunboats, aircraft and Army units participated, the Japanese occupied the entire walled city at 2 m.

Legislators Break Deadlock Lasting Hours Gov Green's Inauguration Delayed by Fight Special Dispatch to the Globe PROVIDENCE, Jan 3 For this first time since 1893 a Democrat preside over the Rhode Island House of Representatives. The new Speaker Is William E. Red-dy i of West Warwick, a mild -man- nered veteran, of the House, who was chosen at five o'clock this afternoon, when two Republicans deserted their party.

The scrap over Speakership" is something new in the annals of Rhode Island and thrilled the great throng that gathered- in the State House to hear the inaugural address of Gov Theodore Francis Greer. Pandemonium broke loose when Red-dy was elected on the ninth ballot. The House stood 51 Republicans, 49 Democrats. Rhode Island, famed for its political miracles, came through with another and Reddy was the gainer. The hectic proceedings held up the inauguration proceedings and reading of Gov Green's address until nearly seven The row marred the customary color of an inaugural but the excitement in the House chamber compensated the crowd for- -what it lost in color and tradition.

Usual Procedure liroken It is customory for the House and Senate to organise and then the Senators, followed by Judges of the Supreme and Courts, march into the House chamber for the inaugural exercises. This proceeding takes less than an hour, and when the Secretary of State administers the oath to the new Governor and otner btate officers, the Governor reads his message. Today, Gov Green released his message to the early afternoon news papers and they were on ine streets with the story of the inaugural at 12:30. But something happened to hold up the proceedings. The Senate organized.

Lieut Gov Robert E. Quinn, Democrat, will preside over that body and William H. Vanderbilt, scion of the famous Van-derbilt family, was chosen president. He is a Republican and will preside in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor. In the House, the Democrats nominated Reddy but with no hope of fleeting him because' they had only 49 votes.

The Republicans nominated Roy Rawlings who has been Speaker for six years. Deputy Speaker Benjamin Cian-ciarulo had been a candidate and had pressed his claims but had been turned down in the Republican caucus. Makes Threat Good Cianciarulo has been threatening, in surgency, but his Republican colleagues didn't think he would go through with it. When the first ballot was taken in the Speakership contest Cianciarulo voted for himself. The 49 Democrats voted for Reddy and, through some miracle, a Republican, not identmea because the voting was by secret bal- fot, cast his vote for Reddy.

This gave Reddy 50, Rawlings 49 and Cianciarulo 1. The galleries were packed with Democrats who had come to. rejoice over the inauguration of a Democratic Governor. Bedlam broke loose and Reddy became the man of the, hour. After the first ballot Cianciarulo jumped to his feet and delivered a scorching speech, in which he denounced his party.

He said that he had been promised the Speakership by William C. Pelkey, chairman of the Republican State Committee. Pelkey has admitted the promise, but has been replaced as chairman by Charles P. Sisson former Asst Attorney Genera) of the United States. Sisson would not permit Cianciarulo to become Speaker.

The latter Informed his Republican colleagues that he would not stand by the caucus. "I 'shall be independent," he shouted, "and I shall vote for Reddy." Deadlock on Second Ballot The cheers were deafening from the crowd that had wedged its way into the Chamber. On the second ballot the Republican who strayed from the party fold on the first ballot returned to the fold and voted for Rawlings. Cianciarulo voted- for Reddy, so it became a deadlock, 50 for Reddy and 50 for Rawlings. This was continued until after 5 o'clock, when an unidentified Republican went over with Cianciarulo and gave Reddy the one vote necessary for a choice.

This was on the ninth ballot. As a result of the Reddy victory the House committees will be controlled by the Democrats. After waiting until the House had elected clerks, the usual inaugural ceremonies were held, but it was nearly 7 o'clock before the gun salute to the new Governor was fired. Following a Colonial custom, Deputy Sheriff Wallace E. Jameson, dressed In silk hat, long black coat and carrying a mace, went out -on the south balcony of the State House and announced to an imaginary throng ot citizens that Uov Green and the other State officers had taken the oath of office.

"God Save the State" In Colonial times, citizens grouped about the old State House in Newport to hear the announcement. If everything had been, run on schedule Jameson would have appeared on the balcony at 1 o'clock and a few persons would have been there. Instead he was accompanied by three newspapermen. As he held his mace aloft, he looked into the darkness and over an expanse of lawn that was devoid of human lire, out ne went tnrougn win his part of the program. -As he ended his proclamation oy saying, "God save the State of Rhode Island and Providence, he and tne trio of scribes stepped back into the warmth and light of the State House.

Gov Green was given an ovation when be finished reading his address and then followed more cheers for Mr Reddy, now in the center of the Rhode Island political spotlight.

OVER 7 with the shadow of Japanese militarism cast over a world in desperate need of peace." SHANHAIKWAN KEY TO JEHOL PROVINCE NEW YORK, Jan 3 (A.

the second time in less than a year the Chinese City of Shanhaikwan has been awakened from its slumber in the shadow of the Great Wall by the flash and roar of guns. It is an ancient city, guarding the way from North China into Manchuria, and itself guarded by a wall piled ub generations ago against the Mancnu- in noroei. it stands close to the celebrated Eastern gate in the Great Wall, called in better days the "First Gate of the world." Last year, when Japan was pressing the Chinese Army out of Manchuria, that able strategist. Gen Muro, pushed the desperate Chinese back upon Chlnphow, then squeezed the enemy through Shanhaikwan, down to Shanghai. That was on Jan 7.

1932. At that time there was only desultory fighting at Shanhaikwan, some parleying back and forth between generals and a gathering of Japanese reinforcements, which resulted in the retreat to Shanghai: Then, as, now, Shanhaikwan was of major Importance, for it commands the railway route out of North China into Manchuria and the Province of Jehol. Japan has made no attempt to disguise its intention of annexing Jehol, which as an actual matter of geography is part of Mongolia, to the new State of Manchukuo. China is equally determined that this shall not be. Although the present engagement has become progressively more serious since it began on Sunday, reports from the Far East indicate that no one there is certain yet whether the conflict is the beginning of Japan's campaign for Jehol.or Just another -local incident, which will subside without definitely changing the status of the deep-rooted dispute between the two great Eastern Powers.

If and when Japan does attack with Jehol as her objective, undoubtedly Shanhaikwan would feel the first blow. 1883 st aJyertinJ ae tail er jers CHAIN-STORE TAX DECLARED ILLEGAL Michigan Court Eejects City Ordinance DETROIT, Jan 3 An opinion that municipal corporations have no right, either under general law or home rule charter, to enact city ordinances levying discriminatory taxes on chain stores has been handed down by Judge Theodore J. Kichter of the Circuit Court of Wayne County at the con clusion or a tour-day trial in which he granted a permanent injunction to the Kroger Grocery and Baking Company enjoining the City Council of Ham-tramck, Mich, from enforcing the chain store ordinance. In his opinion Judge Richter stated that "whatever are the rights of cities to regulate food stores they cannot, under the guise of regulation or of taxation, adopt an ordinance calling for the payment of different amounts for the same privilege that of operating one store just because the one store in addition operates a second, a third or more stores. Such classification is arbitrary, unjust and illegal." This decision is of great significance to the chain store industry, for it gives them a legal precedent for curbing' a growing tax problem.

Since January, 1932, more than 25 cities have introduced city ordinances classifying chain stores for special taxation, and in St Louis, Portland, Or; Knoxville, Fredericksburg, Va; Durham, Maple-wood, Mo; Red Bank, and Ham-tramck, Mich, substantial taxes were levied. The Hamtramck City Council, on Nov 12, 1931, passed the ordinance levy ing a graduated license tax upon chain grocery stores, commencing at $25 for the first store, $50 lor the second store. $75 for the third store, and progressing to iuuu ior an stores over lour. The Kroger Grocery and Baking Company, tnrougn juage Robert Marx, its general counsel and a close mend or n-esiaent-mect Koosevelt, took immediate steps to enjoin the en forcement of the statute. It succeeded in obtaining a temporary injunction and then brought suit in the Circuit Court to enjoin the ordinance perma nently.

A warning that China will leave the League of Nations unless reasonable progress is made in applying the League's principles in the Far East was given today by Dr Quo, Chinese Minister at London and head of the Chinese delegation to the League Assembly. "China's faith in the efficacy of the League Covenant is' approaching the vanishing point," he said in commenting on the conflict at Shanhaikwan. "A showdown must come and a decision must be reached by the Nations." tions for large-scale resistance are being carried forward City Smoking Ruins PEIPING. Jan 4 (Wednesday) (A. The walled Chinese city of Shanhaikwan which, it was -said here this morning, fell into the hands of the Japanese after their third attack late Tuesday, was reported today to be nothing but smoking ruins.

In the repeated attacks 500 Chinese troops were killed. The Japanese used tanks during two hours of bitter fighting in the streets. It was understood that almost the entire south wall of Shanhaikwan was flattened by shell-fire. The Chinese were believed to have reformed their lines a mile southwest of the city and were preparing to ofter further resistance. Japanese military leaders said their forces pursued the fleeing Chinese soldiers "a short distance" southward along the tracks of the Mukden Railroad, but that they "did not intend to proceed far." Terribly as the' Chinese troops apparently suffered in the combat, it was stated that civilian noncombatants suffered even worse.

No estimate was available of the number of citizens killed, but casualties were believed to be enormous. It was reported that three additional Japanese warships had arrived off Chingwangtao, a few miles south of Shanhaikwan, and had made an attempt to land Japanese Marine units. The Marines, however, were repulsed by Chlneses forces. It was also reported that a Japanese aircraft carrier arrived at Tangku, at the mouth of the river below Tientsin. NEW JAPANESE INVASION SEEN BY DR SOONG SHANGHAI.

Jan 3 (A. T. V. Soong, Finance Minister of the Chinese Government, declared today that Japan's attack on Shanhaikwan was "only another step in the carefully-laid plans of Japanese militarists" to invade Mongolia and North China. The Finance Minister made this statement after he had conferred with Marshal Chiang Kai-Shek, chairman of the Nationalist Government Military Affairs Commission.

Chiang refused to divulge -what took place at the conference. He indicated he was returning to Nanking, the capital, immediately. Meanwhile reports were received thx.t eight Japanese warships, arrived today at Chinwangtao, Chinese seaport about 10 miles southwest of Shanhaikwan, Japanese sources here asserted that the attack on Shanhaikwan was aimed at the "elimination" of Chinese troops irom that area and they considered it probable that permanent occupation of the city by- the Japanese would result. "It is not difficult, ho divine trc motives for this latest drive," Di Soong said. "Jehol, the gateway to North China and Mongolia, has lon been coveted by the Japanese militarists, tut -attacking that mountainous Province in mid-Winter presents difficulties.

They hope that pressure upon Tientsin and Peiping through Shan-haikwan will result In its surrender without fighting.
