PAOS QX PfcATTSHOUTH SXin-VTjXXY J0UL3A1 Japan Declares that Open Door Policy to Go On Attitude in IXanchnria Is Explained in Note to United States Stimson Given Answer Tokyo (Saturday Foreign Min ister Yoshizawa replied to Seeretary of State Stimson's note invoking the nine-power treaty in the Mancburian conflict by declaring that the open door policy will be maintained in Manchuria. The reply was delivered to American Ambassador Forbes by the foreign minister. The Japanese note follows: "I have the honor to acknowledge re ceipt of your excellency's note of Jan. 8, which has had the most care ful attention of this government. "The government of Japan is well aware that the government of the United States could always be relied upon to do everything in their power to support Japan's efforts to secure full and complete fulfillment in every detail of the treaties of Washington and the Kellogg treaty for the out lawry of war. They are glad to re ceive this additional assurance of the fact. Point To Unsettlement. "As regards the question which your excellency specifically mentions of the policy of the socalled open door, the Japanese government, as has so often been stated, regard that policy as a cordial feature of the poli tics of the Far East and only regret that Its effectiveness Is so seriously diminished by the. unsettled condi tions which prevail thruout China. "In so far as they can secure it, the policy of the open door will al ways be maintained in Manchuria as in China proper. They take note of the statement by the United States government that the latter cannot admit the legality of matters which might impair the treaty rights of the United States or which might be brought about by means contrary to the treaty of Aug. 27, 1928.

From Friday's Dally An entire block of frame buildings in the town of Elmwood was threat ened with destruction by fire late Thursday afternoon when the Good rich & Coatman building, occupied by a hardware store was discovered on fire. Only the heroic efforts of the Kim wood firemen saved the entire block from destruction. The fire was first discovered about 6:30 p. m. Thursday by Emil Rose now, who operates a filling station near the Goodrich & Coatman build ing. At the time that Mr. Rosenow noticed the fire the building was full of smoke and on the arrival of the firemen it was difficult to locate the seat of the fire until the blaze broke out in full fury and swept through the hardware store. With the extreme cold and the wind blowing the blaze soon was whipped to a fury that it was im possible to check and the efforts were turned to save the other buildings in the block. The fact that a tin covered shed at the rear of the hard ware store collapsed and checked the flames to some extent aided the fire men. The frame building occupied by the Wilson Bros, restaurant caught from the sparks from the burning Coatman building and the roof of the restaurant building was burned as well as the west wall of the building. With the threat of the fire spread ing into tne bimwoou state Danx building, the furniture was removed from the bank, but this structure was not damaged greatly by the fire, but some water damage was suffered. The nostoffice building also suf fered from the water that it was nec essary to pour on the structure to pre vent the spread of the fire. Calls were made for assistance to Weeping Water and Alvo but the bad roads prevented the arrival of the departments until late, the main brunt of the battle being on the Elm wood firemen and the citizens who had gathered in large numbers to aid the fight. The Goodrich & Coatman building was one of the largest and best in the town, having been recently re modeled and was a wood and steel veneered structure with a large mod ern front. There was no one at the store at the time the fire was discovered, the employes having gone to their homes Rome time previous to the discovery of the fire by Mr. Rosenow, the store being locked up when the firemen arrived on the scene. The loss will be in the neighbor hood of some $20,000 on the various buildings and contents, partially cov ered by insurance. The Goodrich & Coatman building was insured for $3,000 and the stock for $8,000. which will partially cover the loss, the building being burned to the ground. This is the second fire in the last few years to visit Elmwood, as the Masonic building, one of the largest structures in the city was burned some three years ago. PRE-NUPTIAL GATHERING PIONEER PASSES TO REWARD Inez Lucretia Hammer, was born n Mantua. Ohio, on April 20, 1854 She was the youngest of five chil dren born to Ezra and Oliva Mitchell She came with her parents to Ne braska in 1859. They landed at Ne braska City in April. 1859, and lived across the river one year while her father built the Pinney Mill. When it was completed they moved to the old Mitchell farm, which has been known as the Elber Hutchins farm for the past many years. She lived and grew to womanhood and was married in the old home on February 7, 1875. to C. A. Hammer. To this union were born two chil dren. Mrs. Edna Williams of Poca- tello. Ida., and Ezra Hammer of Chambers. Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Hammer lived on a farm across the section line south of the Hutchins farm, living there until the spring of 1891, when they moved to Weeping Water, to the old home in the east part of own, where her father, mother and husband passed away. She continued to live there alone until three years ago, when she moved to Pocatello, la., to spend her last days with her daughter. She passed away at her home in Pocatello, January 7, 1932.

CIRCULATE BAD MONEY Falls City is reporting that sev eral of the business houses in that city have been caught on "phony" ten dollar bills, reported as being very poorly printed bills. The bills were passed at theatres and other places where there has been little time for the close examination of the money until after the person circulating them has made their get away. This city had a number of these bills passed here several months ago, the persons who received them still having them as remembrances of the visit of the bad money circulators. -I-H-I"I-M"MT"1"I-I-M"M- Thcaas Walling Ccapany Abstracts of Title Phone 324 Plattsmouth A Dartv was given in the Presby- trian church at Murray on last Fri day evening in honor of Miss Leora Faris and George Reike, in connec tion with their approaching marri age.
