TAKING PART IN
INDIAN REVOLT
Russia Blames Germans For
Charge 1t Is Involved in
Anti-British Intrigue
AFFIRMS FRIENDLINESS
Accusation of Inciting Poland
to War Again Hurled at
French Government

LONDON, Oct. 3.-The reply of the
Russian Soviet government to Great
Britain's recent note charging in
trlgue against Great Britain in cen.
tral Asia, is understood to be on its
way here from Moscow. The note, it
is asserted, does not attempt to an.
swer the charges of the British gov
ernment, except to assert that the
evidence secured by the government
was founded on forgeries emanating
from "a notorious German agency"
The note maintains that the eastern
policy of the Soviet has been uni
formly friendly to Great Britain and
that Tashkent is not an anti-British
propaganda center.
Complaint is made in the note that
Great Britain has shown herself un-
friendly to the Soviet.
The note asserts emphatically that
the Soviet government has had no
dealings with the British Indian revo.
lutionaries since the signing of the
trade agreement. 1t objects to Great
Britain and France taking common
action regarding famine relief in Rus
sia and repeats the charge that
France has melted Poland and Ru-
mania to war against Soviet Russia.

JURY SELECTED
Man Accused of Numbering
Catholic Priest Whistles
On Leaving Court
COURTROOM CROWDED
Eleven Prospective Jurors are
Tentatively Accepted;
Six Are Women

REDWOOD CITY, Cal, Oct. 8. -
Eleven prospective jurors tentatively
accepted by the state and defense
were in the box when court adjourn
ed tonight at the end of the first day
Of the trial of William A. Hightow-
er, on charges of numbering Father
Patrick z. Heslin, Catholic priest of
Colma. The state had exercised four
of it's ten peremptory challenges and
the defense three of its twenty.
Six of those in the jury box were
women, and at almost all times today.
women were in the majority in the
tentative jury.
+. The defense inquired vigorously
into the social and religious beliefs
of veniremen, asking each whether
the fact that the slain man was a
priest would affect his decision. They
also were asked whether the pres
ence or absence of Hightower from
the witness chair would affect their
opinions. 1t is expected the jury will
be completed definitely tomorrow.
Hightower, sitting beside his coun-
sci, displayed composure throughout
the proceedings, but seemed worn by
hio III jail. AS De WdS
removed from the court room at the
end of the session. he whistled cheer
fully.
The small court room of this little
town was packed with a crowd of ye-
niremen, witnesses and spectators,
more than half the latter being wo-
men.
j. Harry Dunlap, who swore out 4
warrant charging David Bender, an
escaped Maryland convict, since re-
turned to serve cut his sentence, with
the Staying of Father Heslin, was ar
raigned today on charge of perjury.
The district attorney said there was
no evidence to connect Bender with
the killing. Dunlap was employed as
detective by Hightower's counsel.
Hightower protested his innocenc,
from the first and maintained that he
would be willing to have a full jury
of priests sit in judgment on him.
The killing of Father Heslin provided
one OF the greatest murder mysteries
in California.
Days of grilling and the accumuIa.
tion of much evidence against High.
tower failed to break him down. So
great was the strain to which he was
subjected that he was unable to eat
the first few days of the examination
and lost many pounds in weight.
Father Heslin was called from his
home at Colma, a suburb of San Fran
cisco. about nine o'clock the night of
Tuesday. August 2, by muffled stran

HOUSE BILL 80
ARGUED IN
SUPREME COURT
Case Involving Calling of
Special State Election
Assumes New Angle

PHOENIX, AriZ., Oct 5. - Argu-
ments in the case of w. P. Clements
against Ernest r. Hill, secretary of
state. to compel the latter to submit
House Bill S3 to the voters of the
state a Special election, were begun
in the state supreme court this after
noon. Both sides completed their
opening statements today and argu-
ments will be resumed when court
reconvenes tomorrow morning
The case originally was scheduled
for 10 o'clock this morning but at that
hour attorneys for Clements declared
that they had not had time to COM
nlete their study of Secretary Halls
36 page answer to the writ to show
cause and the case was continued un-
til 1880 o'clock this afternoon.
The writ to show cause was issued
by the supreme court several days
ago and directed Hall either to call
the election or show cause why a writ
of mandamus ordering him to call the
election should not be issued.
An unexpected turn occurred in the
case today when Sam Fl. Kyle, an at
torney OF Phoenix, who formerly lived
in Cochise county, requested permis-
sion to intervene. Kyle's petition a.
legged that he was a qualified voter i"
cochise county before he moved to
Phoenix and that he had resided here
long enough to qualify as voter but

Girl Is Calm as Jury Picked
To Decide Charge; Mother
Breaks Down in Court

CLEVELAND, Oct. 8. - Ten tenta-
tive jurors were seated to try Marian
McArdle. charged with the first de-
gree murder of Dan KaDer, her step
father, when the first day of her trial
came to a close today. At the trial
of Mrs. Eva Katherine Kaber. the
girls mather. who was convicted of
Kabers murder and sentenced to life
Imprisonment, the defense succeeded
in keeping women off the jury, but
the defense did not object to the Sc
lection of women today. and five were
in the box.
Throughout the questioning of the
talesmen, Miss McArdle's attitude was
in almost direct contrast to that OF

trial. To all outward appearance. she
was the most unconcerned individual
in the court room. Her mother was
almost stoical Occasionally she smil-

REBELS CONTROL
VAST TERRITORY
100000 Square Miles in India
Is Claimed by Insurgent
Agent in New York

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. - Rebel
forces in India control more than 100
900 square miles of territory, over
which they have proclaimed absolute
independence. according to a state
melt issued here tonight by S. n.
Ghoz, national director of the Ameri-
can Commission to Promote Self Gov
ernment in India.
Press dispatches from Calicut, the
statement said, state that the rebels
are offering the Hindus the alterna-
tive of death or Islam. Nothing can
be further from the truth. In the
Malabar region, the ratio of the Mo
hamedans to the Hindus bear fifty
to fifty and if it were a case OF Mo-
hamedan uprising against the Hindus,
the latter would have sided with the
British authorities for self protection.
The uprising between the Indian
people against the British broke out
seven weeks ago, and the crown mil
itary forces have not been able to
crush the movement"

President Admits Problem Is
Too Big For Admins

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. - Cover
rors and mayors throughout the conn
try were asked by President Harding
in a public statement today to organ
ize in each community machinery for
the correction of economic conditions
along the lines worked out by the un-
employment conference here.
The conference, the president de-
clared. had demonstrated that condi-
tions could not be met properly with
out such local co-operar.ss. he an
nounced that a central agency would
be maintained here under auspices of
the conference to give national co-Or-
dination to the rehabilitation effort.
The presidents statement follows:
The conference which | recently
summoned to Washington 10 advise as
to the unemployment situation has
demonstrated that an unusual volume
of unemployment exists and that
pending the recuperation of trade. the
situation cannot be met, in due re-
gard to our obligations and necessi-
ties, without a much more than usual
organization throughout those state
and municipalities where unemploy-
ment has reached considerable proper
tions.
THE conference has recommended
a plan of organization which has had
the support OF commercial. manufac
turing, professional and labor repre-
sentatives OF the country. II is high
ly necessary that more accurate
knowledge should be had. through
such organization, of the volume and
necessities of the unemployed. II is
essential that the cooperation of all
sections of each community should be
brought into action behind such or
ganization to provide work and as
slstance that we may pass through
the coming winter without great suf-
fering and distress. Ii is of national
Importance that every community
should at once undertake such organi-
Zation in order that the nation may
be protected as a whole. Moreover.
the thorough commitment to such a
task is sure to start a thousand ac-
tivities which will add to our COM
mon welfare.
II, therefore. appeal to the COVER

NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK.
SATURDAY. JAM AIRY %.
PAY BILLS PROMPTLY DAY

II might not occur to every one
that to pay ones bills promptly is
a part of thrift. Some individual
might figure that he could get along
just as well by standing his bills off
a few days and thus get the use of
his money a little longer but his logic
is wrong.
The merchant not only figures on
a fair profit on his merchandise but
he must also figure on being able to
collect on his bills so that he may,
himself, get tho benefit of the two
per cent cash discount for prompt
payment Where the merchant is not
able to collect and get the benefit of
these cash discounts the consumer is
going to pay for it in the long run.
We have all heard of the man who
would never buy ticket when rid
ing the train but who would prefer
to pay cash fare and get in the rear
seat in the rear ear so as to have
the use of his money the longest
minute possible
The additional charge put on by our
railroads for this cash fare stunt has
put a crimp in the practice but the
price the public pays for lack Oh
promptness in paying ordinary bills is
still greater.
In addition to the fact that honesty
Is the best policy, the reputation Tor
paying bills promptly is real asset
to man, much greater than some
people seem to realize.
