WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-(JP)-
Japan now is willing for the
United States 'to sit with the
League of Nations council as it
tries to solve the Manchurian
puzzle.
Understanding more clearly
the American position, the Jap-
anese government today with-
drew their previous objections.
Orders from Tokio sent Ambas-
sadorDebuchi to the State de-
partment with assurance for
Secretary Stimson that Japan no
longer would oppose' American
participation in the L e a g ue
council's sessions.
The objections were with-
drawn while the American gov-
ernment was still awaiting for-
mal notification of the invoca-
tion of the Kellogg-Briand anti-
war treaty by five other leading
nations.

EDISON LAID IN STATE

By Theodore F. Koop.
WEST ORANGE, N. J., Oct. ig.-(P)-Surrounded by the well-
worn, familiar objects of his daily use, the body of Thomas A.
Edison, who passed away early Sunday, lay in state today in the
small and unpretentious workroom where for many years he read
and thought and made experiments.
Some test tubes, bits of plates he had been using in his search
for a formula for the manufacture of rubber, an old desk, many note-
books and a blue-covered couch where he used to take rest-these
were the background. Over his casket was shed the soft radiance of
what the world regards as his greatest invention, the incandescent
lamp.
For an hour this morning workmen from his factory passed.
slowly through the little building just off Main St. They call it "the

Today, after a family conference,
it was decided to have burial here.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19. - (A) - More
trouble was brewing in the Federal
building today for "Scarface Al"
Capone, Chicago gang leader, and'
his friends.
Capone's sentence on his convic-
tion for violating income tax laws
was delayed at least three more
days as Federal Judge James H.
Wilkerson granted his attorneys
until Friday to perfect their argu-
ments for arrest of judgment.
If this bit of procrastination is to
be considered as favorable to the
gang chief, it was more than offset
by word that the Government had
begun in earnest its attempt to
collect the tax Capone tried to
evade. The criminal proceeding
which resulted in his conviction
Saturday night did not alter the
Government's claim that he owed
some $215,000 in tax, and whatever
can be traced to his ownership may
be seized.
The next move in Al Capone's
fight to keep out of .the peniten-
tiary as an income tax violator is
up to the gang chief himself, and
his attorneys have indicated it will
be a motion for a new trial.
The gangster, convicted in feder-
al court Saturday night, had a day
of grace today-an interlude be-
tween his conviction and his day
of judgment. Tuesday he will go
back to federal court, to face Judge
James H. Wilkerson, who has indi-
cated he will pass sentence immed-
iately.
The maximum sentence for the,
scar-faced gangster, who has bos-
sed Chicago's underworld for 12
years, is 17 years imprisonment and
fines totaling $50,000. The highest
sentence ever' given out in the so-
called gangster-in-come tax cases,
however, is five years against Jack
Guzik, Capone's No. 1 helper.
