I SOVIET ANSWERS HIROTA Denial of Giving Aid in Mukden Made by Russian Commissar L. M. Karakhan. TOKIO, Oct. 30.-(AP)-Patriotic so- cieties throughout Japan were or- ganizing -public opinion today in support of the government's Man- churian policy, while dispatches from Mukden told of the start of, a Chinese military campaign to. drive the last vestiges of the Na- tionalist Chinese regime out of southern Manchuria. The Soviet foreign office today maiptained its insistence that" it is not aiding the Chinese in Man- churia with guns, airplanes and instructors, flatly denying contrary reports laid before it by Koki Hir- ota, Japanese ambassador. Agreement Mentioned. The reports of Russian aid were based, the ambassador explained, upon statements of Gen. Ma of the Chinese forces at Tsitsihar: Gen. Ma quoted by the ambassador as having said an agreement exists under which he receives military airplanes, anti-aircraft guns and aviators from the Soviet Union and that there are Soviet instructors in his army. L. M. Krakhan, aeting foreign commissar for foreign affairs, re- plied that the Japanese statements' were based on unfounded inven- tions and on rumors emanating from "irresponsible persons who ap- parently are interested in spread-, ing provocative propaganda about the situation in Manchuria." No Instructors. There are no Soviet instructors at Tsitsihar or in - any Manchurian providence, he said, and no arms or ammunition are being sent from Russia. The Soviet Union adheres to its policy of non-interference, he said, not because '°such a policy pleases or displeases any one, but because the government respects international treaties signed with China. Recount Causes Tie in Medical Election in one of the closest elections that the Michigan campus has seen, 110 votes out of a possible 125 were cast in the freshman medical com- petition for class offices. Gordon Balyeat was chosen presi- dent, Ferming Barbour, vice-presi- dent, David Drummond secretary. In no case did any of the candi- dates win by more than two or three votes. Two recounts were necessary for determination of the treasurer of the class, due to three contested votes which changed Charles Cory's lead of three votes to a tie with Isador Hauser.. ante. Tnese facts, known to every chemistry student, were brought out in the suit of Mrs. Margaret Dunn against William Parker in circuit court this week. Mrs. Dunn's husband, it appears, entered the Broadway pharmacy, of which Mr. Parker' is the owner,. in quest of Epsom salts. He point- ed out the package which he sup- posed to contain the desired com- modity, had it wrapped and took it home. That night Mrs. Dunn took a dose of the medicine, but, COMEDY SOCIEITY Streets of New York' Will Be. Presented November 19, 20, 21. Swinging into their 1931 drama- tic season, Comedy Club started work yesterday on "The Streets of New York," a melodrama popular during the last half of the last century by the well known Dien Beucicault. The. production, which will be presented' November 19, 20, and 21, will be given in the manner of the period with the songs and dances which were the traditional features of the nineteenth century produc- tiofns-4f the, current .melodyaf:J "The Streets of New York," or "Poverty is No Crime" was first presented to New York audiences about 1857. The New York Repertory com- pany is at present producing the same play with Dorothy Gish, well known .cinema actress, and Rollo Peters, formerly connected with 'dramatic work here at Michigan playing in the cast.

After Mrs Dunn recoveredfrom the effects of potassium- nitrate taken when magnesium sulphate was intended, she filed suit against the druggist for $10,000, on the charge of negligence in selling the medicine. The jury awarded her $500. STATESMEN TOSS NAVYTLIES A9BOUT White House Gets in First Dig at League; Naval Body Remains Silent. WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-(P)--- With public vindication and an apology as prizes, both President Hopver and officials of the Navy League fired tentative shots today in preparation for their engage- ment over t h e Administration's naval policy. The White House,, seconded by Secretary Stimson, s c o r e d first. From the executive mansion there issued a statement attributing a "tissue, of falsehoods" to the League. The Secretary of ,State aided there had been' "fgrant misstatements evidently deliberate." The Navy League countered in silence. De- clining to amplify the statement in which its president, William How- ard Gardner, accused Mr. Hoover of an "abysmal ignorance" of naval needs, the League issued a call to its executive committee to meet the counter charges. Throughout the Capital today there was much talk of the unex- pected way in which the President last night challenged the League's claims that he w a s trying to "starve" the Navy, in detriment to its comparison with the fleets of England and Japan. Although the Navy League has had many a tilt with Government leaders. over naval policy, no case similar to the present could be re- called. The biggest difference lay in Mr. Hoover's call for. an apology' EDISON INLUENCED IN" WILL! SON SAYS: WIDOW5IS BLMED. William Edison Charges Undue Pressure Brought to Bear by His Step-Mother.

"Undue influence was brought to bear on my father by Charles Edi- son and my step-mo ther, Mina Mil- ler Edison. "The codicil attached to the will was made only a few months before my father's death, which in itself; knowing he was about to die, show- ed what influence my step-mother and Charles hac over him.

"I do not care to say who will join me in the contest, but you can be assured I will not be alone." Edison said he had retained coun- sel but declined to say who it was or when a definite move would be made to start the contest. William L. Edison, who lives at.

PRINCETON, Oct. 30.-(AP)-A Phi Beta Kappa Key means more to the average Princeton freshman than a varsity letter, according to the an- nual questionnaire submitted to the entering class at the University by the campus newspaper.

One freshman said he came to Princeton because he "couldn't get in anywhere else." For his ideal girl the Princeton freshman requires brains, beauty, personality, sense of humor, danc- ing ability and money with a high- priced car thrown in. The questionnaire shows that more freshmen smoke than those who do not, while the non-drinkers hold the majority by a margin of 165 votes. Story Shows Gorman A Keen 'Book Lover' William J.

Members of the library staff re- fused to comment on the story; however, it was reported that -Bill settled the .account. Search Continues for Long Lost 'Brown Jug' The "Little Brown Jug" is still-in hiding, more elusive than it has been since its disappearance. Search for the famous 28-year- old grid trophy of Michigan and Minnesota, is still going on, but Athletic officials last night were as much puzzled as ever. Lost or stolen, the jug was first missed from atop a trophy case in the Administration building three weeks. Its disappearance was kept secret until Wednesday, when news leaked out that it was gone. Officials said that the search will continue, adding that they hoped it would turn up by Nov. 21, the date of the Wolverine-Gopher contest.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. - (P) - Two "ifs" conditioned America's ac- ceptance of the League of Nations' invitation to join in a one-year arms holiday. The United States is ready and willing to take this step, provided, that other principal military and naval powers do so, and that the truce shall not apply to construc- tion already begun or under con- tract. These reservations were set forth in the note of acceptance dis- patched last night to Geneva. State Department officials were highly confident they would meet the ap- proval of the other nations as the points had already been under dis- cussion, with agreement indicated.
