I I I I I THE STATE JOURNAL, LANSING, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1931 BEATS MOTION OF CENSURE Prime Minister Is as Safely Entrenched as Ever during Past Two Years BALDWIN MAKES ATTACK Conservatives Strike at Most Vulnerable Point of Ministry-Unemployment LONDON, April 17 (P)-The government of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald appeared Friday to be as safely entrenched in office as at any time in its nearly two years of life after beating a conservative motion of censure with a majority of 54 votes. The tory leader, Stanley Baldwin, made a determined attack against the ministry at perhaps its most vulnerable front, unemployment, in moving its censure on that count, but in the division lobbies the commons lined up 305 for the government, 251 against. The ministry was aided by the votes of 23 liberals, less than half the liberals commons. liberals voted "arainst the government, and five abstained. Sir Oswald Mosley and the six members of his "new party" abstained but the labor left voted with the government.

The margin of victory amazed even the most sanguine of Mr. MacDonaid's followers. The vote assured the government of continuation in office for an indefinite time. Its next danger point may come after presentation of the budget, which is likely to contain some unpicasant items for the commons, both government and opposition, but with liberal help such as accorded in last night's division it should pull through without difficulty. The burden of presenting the government's case on unemployment fell upon the shoulders of Tom Johnson, newly appointed lord privy seal, who laid the vast number of jobless to world economic conditions which he said the government was striving with all its power to correct in Britain.

After Johnson had spoken the liberals trooped out behind their leader, David Lloyd George, to decide their attitude. The was overwhelming to support the ministry, although allowing individual members the right to vote as they wished. LIFE IS SOUGHT FOR IOWA KILLER Police Believe Confessed Axe Slayer Only Wished to Avoid Detroit DETROIT. April 17 (P)--Life imprisonment as An habitual criminal will be sought by the Wayne county prosecutor's office Monday for George Myers, who "confessed" several weeks ago to killing six persons with an axe in Iowa 19 years ago. Myers is serving a 714 to 15-year sentence in Michigan State prison for burglary.

His "confession" of the Iowa axe murders was discredited by Iowa authorities and police now believe he sought only to avoid a court appearance here that might result in disclosure of his previous criminal record. Assistant Prosecutor William BuckIngham said Thursday he had eyidence of five convictions against Myers, but that he was unable to find witnesses to testify to the first. which he said occurred in 1895. He said he has arranged for John E. Davis, superintendent of the Bertillion department of the Columbus, police department to appear in circuit court Monday and attempt to identify Myers as a man convicted of burglary -in Stark county, in 1905.

NEW INDIA VICEROY ARRIVES IN BOMBAY Earl Willingdon and Wife Reach Port and Are Given Gun Salute MET BY SMALL CROWD Official Heads Procession to Seat of Government; Speaks to Movies BOMBAY, India, April 17 (P)Earl Willingdon, the new viceroy, and the Countess Willingdon reached India Friday, disembarking here at dawn as the guns of Bombay fortifications thundered a 31-gun salute. Elaborate precautions were taken by police to prevent any hostile acts from the Bombay crowds but because of the early hour and since only a very few a tickets were issued for admission to the dock there was only a small crowd on hand to witness the landing.

As the earl and countess passed under the great granite arch known as the gateway to India troops stood at attention and trumpeters heralded their arrival. The municipal authorities made a formal address of welcome, which the new viceroy acknowledged. permitted movie cameramen to make pictures of him and his wife. he spoke into their microphones and then headed an automobile procession through the city streets to the seat of the Bombay government. The streets were lined with people, among whom was a generous sprinkling of soldiers, police and detectives.

Before Lord Willingdon assumes office Saturday afternoon he will have an opportunity of meeting Lord Irwin, who leaves Bombay Saturday morning. thus breaking for the first time the time honored precedent which has forbidden the outgoing and incoming viceroys to see each other. The new viceroy also will meet Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian Ahmadabad to greet the man with nationalists, who has. come from whom he will have to deal in the future. Lord Willingdon, as Viscount Willingdon, comes here from Canada.

w' are he was governor general. He left India six years ago after having been governor of both Bombay and Madras. SEEKING BURKE'S CASH. TRIO HELD Two Men and Woman Captured in Attempt to Extort $300 Paid by Killer KANSAS CITY. April 17 (P)-Two men and a woman were arrested Thursday charged with attempting to extort from Mrs.

George S. McLanahan the $300 which Fred Burke, Chicago gangster awaiting trial for murder in St. Joseph, had paid as a deposit on a house he proopsed to purchase here before his capture. They are Bill Ware, Ernest Hopper, and Mrs. Irene Elliott, who anticipated, police declare, that the terror aroused by the name of Burke would insure their scheme's success.

Informed over the telephone that Chicago associates of the gangster were here to obtain return of his money, Mrs. McLanahan was instructed to deliver the $300 to a messenger at a designated spot and warned against calling police. Deputy sheriffs arrested Hopper as he received an envelope containing a roll of note paper and $20 in currency from Orville McLanahan, son of the woman. Officers say he named Ware and Mrs. Elliott as his confederates.

Ware said he was not acquainted with Burke. Mrs. McLanahan already had completed arrangements to return the $300 to Mrs. Burke and the money had been paid before the climax of the plot. Threats of Gangs Found Music Aid CHICAGO, April 17 (P)-Volumes have been written about gang threats.

but the suggestion that they might be an aid to the art of music was never offered until Friday. It remained for John Collins, manager for Louis Armstrong, to point out this possibility, when he complained that Louis, a negro, who toots tuneful cornet in a night club, was being as threatened and followed around by hoodlums. "Louis, his manager said, quit one night club job for another, luring the customers one place to another, "But the more they scare Collins told the police, "the better he plays the cornet. "He gets those shivery, shakery, tremolo effects, you know, like the customers like." Police furnished Louis with an escort, to accompany him home in the carly morning hours.

Bubbles Blown from Quartz Are Used in Making Batteries (By The Associated Press) LAFAYETTE, April 17 A BUBBLE of quartz and another of paraffin as thin brilliant as a soap film make a new electric battery at Purdue university. The battery lives on "static." changing kind electricity into current. It has been made by Dr. Karl Larkhorovitz, head of the department of physics, with his assistant, Ferguson W.

Shaw. Neither quartz nor paraffin is supposed to conduct any electrical rent whatever, one topping the list of best known insulators among inorganic and the other among organic substances. But in the Purdue static battery they are the electrodes. Their extreme thinness is the secret of their transformation into good conductors. When they are immersed in a salt solution, the "ions" Blind Man Tells What He 'Sees' On Visit to New York City (By The Associated Press) NEW YORK, April 17 KARTERUD, 8 blind scholar, walked the streets of New York and told how a great city "looks" to a man who cannot see.

A bizarre and confusing babel of human voices speaking many tongues. I Ceaseless scream and rumble and clang of metallic, mechanical sounds. Endless canyons walled in by immense buildings vast sounding boards whose height his ears cannot measure beyond five stories. A sensation of going up and up and up in an elevator to a level where the air feels thinners about his temples. Outstanding Teacher Mr.

Karterud, one of Norway's outstanding blind teachers, delegate to the world conference on work for the blind, now meeting at the Hotel Pennsylvania. He has been blind since birth. of the 120 delegates, representing 37 nations at the conference, about one-fourth are blind. What they "see" in New York, he said, must be just about the same as his impression. Their "eyes" are their ears, their clever, sensitive fingers that patiently trace again and again the outlines of models of New York's skyscrapers and a subtle, highly developed sensitiveness to air pressures which is called "obstacle sense," a kind of sixth sense of the blind.

"We all notice that queer babel of voices and languages first, he said. "You see, we blind must learn to guide ourselves about in the streets by listening to the voices of those about us. That's how we keep from running into peopte. We listen more intently than you do. Therefore we are more conscious of what people are saying.

In our own cities we don't hear such a mixture of tongues." Mr. Karterud walked along a crossstreet that leads into Fifth avenue past the new Empire State building. "You see, these buildings act as sounding boards," he said. "This is not a very wide street--I know by the sharpness of the noises. I am conscious of enormous buildings.

Not so much high as big, covering a lot of space. There are so few breaks in the walls. "They must be at least five stories high, for the street noises would sound differently if they weren't. But how much over five stories I couldn't tell." He paused beside the Empire State DAUGHTER OF PREMIER IS LEARNING TO FLY Ishbel MacDonald Takes First Lesson And Handles Controls Perfectly In Gypsy Moth Plane LONDON, April 17 (P) Ishbel MacDonald, daughter of Britain's prime minister. is learning to fly.

She received her initial lesson Thursday from Capt. H. D. Davis at Brooklands airdrome, flying with him in dual control Gypsy Moth plane, and taking the controls herself for half an hour. Davis said that she "managed them perfectly." He seemed impressed with the quickness with which she absorbed his teaching and commented afterwards: "You must spend lots of time reading about airplanes." Miss Ishbel said that she had told her father of her intention to learn to fly, adding: "I have often flown with him to Lossiemouth and elsewhere.

Now I shall be able to tell him something that he does not know about flying." She wore a skyblue helmet and thick leather coat for her lesson.

"The sidewalk is wider. I can tell by the sound of my footsteps. A very wide street, I think. Still huge buildings, but not so close together. The noises are not so sharp.

Karterud went up into the Chrysler tower the day after he landed in New York. He bought a model of the building to take home to his pupils. "We went up and up and up," he said. "It probably seemed a lot farther to me than it would to you. The air was thinner up there lighter against my forehead.

Washtenaw. Ph. 28915. popular two score years ago, as a play it approaches nearer to realism than many of the stage productions that parade today under the drama of modernism. Mrs.

Fiske first appeared in "Becky Sharp" in 1900 and although a lot of water has run under the theatrical bridge since then, the play is as vital as ever. And Mrs. Fiske, whose performance is refreshingly young, still perfect Becky. There are plenty of modern day Beckys the same as there were in Thackeray's day in London in 1815. The Becky of the play closely resembles the modern gold-digger.

is a keen-minded sarcastic siren, mischievous and untruthful, who toys with men's hearts and lives by her wits. Supporting Cast Good Mrs. Fiske is supported in the play by an excellent cast, but regardless of this fact the honors of the evening were hers and hers alone. Her performance was as interesting watch as it was entertaining. She is still the great actress whose star of success shines as brightly today as it did 30 years ago.

Among her company of 32 persons, the work of William Ingersoll as the Marquis of Steyne, Leslie Austen as Rawdon Crawley, and Edward Butler as Joseph Sedley, probably stands out as finest. The work of the others of the cast, however, was by no means mediocre. audience at Thursday evening's performance was not as large as it should have been. for "Becky Sharp" is one of the finer things of the dramatic world and one of the best offerings of the current theatrical scason here.

Ions streaming through the atmosphere cause radio's static. They also carry the tiny electric spark which stings your finger at contact with another object after shuffling your feet over a thick, insulating floor covering on a cold day. So tenuous are these chips of atoms that the amount of current in the Purdue battery is almost the equivalent of completely nothing in volume. It registers three-quarters of a volt, which is its "speed." But the volume is too slight to be measured.
