cial-''It was only a prank, moth
ing serious" is the comment of
David Boyles. father of Charlotte
Boyles, 20-year- heiress, on her
return from a six months ro.
mantle adventure in Europe.
We're all happy now. Char
lotte is home and she's going to
stay. she had a great trip-saw
Paris and London and New York
but I don't think she wants to
make any more voyages. Not now,
anyway.
"she is not ready to describe her
adventure" her father explains,
however. "We're having little
family reunion all our own and
Charlotte does not care to be in
terviewed."
The heiress disappeared from
her home here July last. She
fled to Pittsburgh, thence to New
York, to Bordeaux, to Paris and
London, it is said. For five
months no word was heard from

C0NSTITUTIONALITY
OF FUTURES TRADING
ACT Is CHALLENGED

Washington, Jan. 11.-Counsel
for eight members of the Chicago
board of trade presented final ar
guments in the supreme court to-
day in their suit which challenges
the constitutionality of the futures
trading act. The contention ad-
Vanced was that the tax was puni-
tive and in the term of a penalty
to enforce regulatory provisions OF
transactions over which the federal
government has no control. The
government also opened its argu-
ment today.
Solicitor General Beck declared
that wild orgies" on grain ex-
changes caused congress to impose
an excise tax which carried certain
exemptions under which the tax
would not be imposed or collected.
eladded that should the court
hold unconstitutional the features
of the law in issues, those who
brought the appeal would be sub
ject to a tax of 20 cents a bushel
on all future trading in grain with
out ability to relieve themselves
from that tax by admitting agri-
cultural cooperative associations
to membership and otherwise quail
flying as a contract market. He
contended that there could be no
question of the power Of congress
to place any tax it pleases on any
transaction on grain or other eX-
changes.

PRINCE A VENDOR OF
CARPETS IN MOSCOW

Moscow. Jan. 11.--Prince Te-
kintzi is a vendor of the famous
Tekintzi type of carpets in one
of Moscow's cooperative stores
recently opened. He is a prince or
Han" in the neighborhood Of
Bokhara. in Turkestan, whence
come carpets equal to those Of
Persia in quality.
He has fallen to his present
low degree because of the Rus
slams. First, under the ruthless
General Skobelev. in 1881, the
Russians defeated the Tekke Tur-
comans and completed the con-
quest of Turkestan, and this
prince was captured by the Rus
slams. Now, under the Soviet re-
gime. he has lost his estates,
where the carpets were made.
He was minister of foreign af-
fairs. at Baku, until the Azerbai-
jan republic was, over year
ago. converted to communism by
Moscow and became soviet re-
public. Then he was locked up
and shipped off last spring to
Kolmogori prison, near Archangel.
Only lately he was released.

high winds. Some concern was felt
for the disabled army transport
Crook with nearly 900 passengers
aboard, despite wireless messages
that the repairs had been made and

of Two Negroes,
fBs The Assoclnted rress.l

Washington, Jan. 11.-Testi-
mony contradicting that of former
service men was given today by
army officers before a senate COM
mittee investigating charges that
American soldiers had been hanged
without trial in France. Col
Charles ]. Symonds, of Camp Sher-
man, SO years in the army, who
was in command at Gievres, at
which place soldiers had told of
hearing reports of numerous exc
cutions, declared only one man
was hanged there, and that the
hanging by his order, was secret.
The fact of the execution was
made public later, the colonel eX-
planning that the murder for which
the soldier was put to death had
not been committed in his area and
he did not want a big crowd on
hand to witness it. The picture Of
q gallows, supposed to be at
Gievres, which had been filed with
the committee by a former soldier,
was identified by Colonel Symonds
as the structure built there, or one
closely resembling It,"
Capt. Joseph d. Hahn declared
there was not one word of truth
in the charges by Harry W. Segal,
q soldier, that he, Hahn, had taken
part in the unlawful execution of
two negro soldiers. Other witness
es said they never had heard of a
lynching in the Sixteenth infantry.

fense testimony in the first trial

The presence of a large throng in
front of the criminal courts build
ing to watch the trial principals
come and go, and of a crowd in the
court room belied to some extent
the general belief that interest in
the trial had died out. The defend

in the proceedings, sat close to his
chief counsel, Gavin McNab. His
wife sat In another section of the
court room.
The personnel of opposing coun-
sci was the same as in the last
trial. McNab handled the question:

Milton ID U'Ren, assistant district
attorney, for the prosecution.
The presence In court of repre-
sentatives OF the Woman's Vigil

questioning of veniremen, McNab
asking IL such activity of the COM

There was general listlessness to-
ward the questioning, the hum

heads to nod.
The dismissal of Mrs. Neighbors,
whose case had progressed at In

by the defense as a point in Its
favor. but the prosecution held the
opposite view.

was maintained throughout the
first trial again appeared today,

COMMUNISM HAS
BEEN THR0TT TIED
IN JUGOSL.AV|A

Belgrade, Jan. 11.-Communism
seems to have been suppressed in
this country. The vigorous action
of the government which recently
passed a law imposing the death
penalty upon enemies OF public
security and offenders against the
state has struck terror into the
hearts of radicals and revolution
aries.
The jails Of the country are
chOked with persons accused of
bolshevik or communist activity
and others who are not in prison
are declared to be either thorough
ly cowed or to have fled from the
country. Those persons implicated
in the murder last July of M.
Drackovitch, the minister OF the
interior. and in the attempt to as
sassinate Jugoslavia's young king,
Alexander. will be brought to trial
this month Among them are a
number of communist deputies in
parliament.
JugoslaWa's statesmen assert
that the entire communist party,
once OF formidable and menacing
proportions, has been suppressed
as a result of fearless action by the
government and that many of its
members have been eXiled or i'm
prisoned.
The parliamentary privileges Of
communist members Of the ma
tional assembly, numbering nearly
sixty, have been cancelled and since
August none of them has partici-
pated in the proceedings. Com
munist newspapers and propa-
Eanda organizations throughout
the country have been suppressed
and their principals placed in GUS
tody or under surveillance. Com
munism first gained a foothold in
Jugoslayia in 1919.

D|SAPPROvED BY
FRENCH CAB|NET 7.
Premier BRAND viii Explain
the Long Sought Alliance
With Great Britain to
Parliament Today,
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
is TO BE REQUESTED
Fate of Frances Ministry
and the Future 0rlenta-
ton of the Foreign Policy
Hangs on Outcome,
fRr The Associated Press.l

Paris, Jan. IL (by the Associated
Press) Premier BRAND, bearing
the text of the longysought British
alliance, will face the French par
lament tomorrow. which. although
hostile tonight, may nevertheless,
in the opinion Of many observers,
give him a vote of confidence be-
cause it dare not refuse concrete
pact owing to differences of opin-
ion concerning some clauses and
concessions,
Both senate and chambo. party
caucuses have sent messages of
protest to M. BRAND and there is
much talk of overthrowing the
government, as has frequently been
the case in the past year, Brands
supporters, however. expect him to
win.
Cabinet Badly Split.
The cabinet held three long ses-
sions yesterday and today, and par
lament makes no secret of the fact
that the ministers disapprove of
the BRAND bargain, and also that
the cabinet is badly split The fate
of the French cabinet and also the
future orientation of the foreign
policy of France hangs on tomor-
rows +, ote.
A dispatch sent to the premier
by the cabinet after its delibera-
tions this morning, the text of
which is not known, was respon-
sible for M. Brands return. He
will meet with the cabinet in the
morning.
When M. BRAND goes before the
chamber in the afternoon he will
read his declaration and request a
vote of confidence, and approval Of
the Anglo.French pact will be de-
cidea at the cabinet council. The
premier, through M. Danielou. un-
der secretary of state, has caused 1t
to be known in the chamber that
he is personally desirous OF bring
ing the agreement before the
chamber and thus make good his
utterances that he would never
conclude a treaty binding future
French policies without consulting
the executive bodies"
Main Bone of Contention.
The main bone of contention IN
the cabinet concerns the question
of the advisability of the premier
appearing in the chamber at hur-
ried session, where the text of the
pact could not be discussed; the
majority favors detailed discussion
of the agreement. The clause call
ing for a decrease in the occupa-
: ton forces in the phineland is
especially opposed.
The cabinet is so closely divided
that NJ. Sarraut who as minister
OF colonies. has vote in the eoun-
Gil, but who is still in Washington,
may be called on to express his
opinion.
M. Poincares refusal to take an
active part in the campaign against
the BRAND cabinet has reinforced
the confidence of the BRAND ad-
herents but all agree that the dfvi-
sion in the chamber tomorrow is
likely to prove epochal in French
foreign policy, as the friends and
foes of an alliance with Great Brit
ain on the terms agreed to by Pre-
mier BRAND are directly engaged.
The French must decide once for
all how the future policy toward
Great Britain is to be shaped.
