Italy May Lose
Face Conference
Attend Or Not
(By The Associated Press)
HOME. Sept. 10—Foreign dip
lomatic quarters predicted today
that Italy would boycott the Med
iterranean submarine conference
unless Russia was excluded. How
-ever, there seemed little change
of such action against the Soviet
Tepublic as Russia has already ac
oepted the invitation of France
and Britain to attend the con
ference. Even as the boycott pre
diction was made the Russian em
bassy announced that it had de
livered to the Italian foreign of
fice a second note of protest
against alleged Italian submarine
attacks on foreign shipping.
It was undierstood that this new
note maintained all the demands
made in the first note which was
believed oertam that in the event
of Italy’s boycotting the confer-'
enee to which she has not yet
received an invitation, Germany
would do likewise. It was sug
tetally rejected by Italy. It was
gested in authoritative quarters
that Italy would repeat within 24
hours its refusal to accept any i
responsibility for attacks on Rus
sian ships and its rejection of all
Russian demands.
Russia’s attitude had changed *
the situation despite the govern
ments apparent efforts at least
before the second note arrived to
find some way by which it might
attend the Mediterranean confer
ence along with Russia. Italy’s!
position was a most delicate one. j
There was growing belief that j
Italy was likely to be pushed in-1
to the role of defendant at the
Mediterranean conference and1
that whether Mussolini chose to ■
be represented or not, Facsist'
prestige might pTove to be at I
stake.
MANILA. Sept. 9 —Philippine j
women were enfranchised when i
a special session of the National j
Assembly approved a new elec-1
tion law. Each person will thumb j
mark his ballot when he votes,
for identification of contested
ballots. The Commonwealth as-1
semibly had repealed the right of >
women to vote, a right they had |
exercised once when the Phil-;
ippines were a territory.

Sailors Desert
Ship For Fear
of Jap Officers
; (By The Associated Press)
I SEATTLE, Sept. 9 —Immigra
tion officials today held 34 Chin
ese sailors of the Japanese freight
jer, a Chinese exporter, as inad
■ missable aliens and decided on
| having them returned to China as
I soon as possible. The authorities
j said the question of deportation
| was not involved. The sailors
were reported to have deserted
their ship but it was learned they
jmerely refused to sail for fear of
Japanese officers who were in
command of the steamer.
It was learned the sailors want
i ed to return to China to enlist in
i the army. The sailors were de
tained upon their arrival aboard
jthe steamer Iroquois. Their for
I mer ship the Chinese exporter

Mystery Marks
Death of Crabs
PORTLAND, (AP)—A mystery
;as perplexing as the stories of
| sea monsters held its secret un
broken after a month of study
j of aquatic biologists, fishermen
land federal and state officials in
to the wholesale slaughter of
| scores of thousands of crabs
i caught seasonally off Oregon's
i coast for the housewife’s table,
i One morning some time ago,
| coastal residents awoke to find
!the Clatsop beaches littered with
thousands of dead female crabs.
A few days, later, in another loca
:tion not far away, residents dis
covered countless male crabs, all
dead, all washed up by the blue
| swells of the Pacific.
Angry fishermen, envisioning a
ruinous loss of business, rushed
to state officials for an investiga
tion, intimating that off-shore
trawlers netting the fish might
have destroyed thecrabs by drag
ging the ocean bottom.
After an exhaustive study, M.
T. Hoy, master fish warden of
Oregon, exonerated any _ human
cause, but admitted he could of
fer no other solution than that
some oceanic disturbance" of
which we know nothing” had kill
ed the crabs. Of this he was con
vinced because some shells seem
petrified, indicating they had
been in water a long time.
Hoy explained that only the
| shells with the legs attached
were washed ashore. All parts of
the body had been emptied. He
said all shells were intact, show
! ing they had not been crushed
or damaged in a battle. The shells
were brittle and if one were
pounded it would crumple in
;b:.s.
Old-timers along the beach re
ported other phenomena in past
years when the sea washed up
various types of fish which were
foreign to the locality and other
strange life forms from the ocean
deep, strengthening the belief of
I a strange sea malady,
i Warden Hoy made motion pic
tures of the thousands of crabs
for his records, because he said
“a few years from now no one
would believe such a thing oc
curred. I couldn’t believe it until
I saw it myself."
