FRENCH AND ITALIANS HAVE
WITHDRAWN THEIR FORCES
Tiernan Denies The
Parentage of Child
husband On Witness Stand Day
and Half; Attorneys Wrangle
over Testimony
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]

South Bend, Ind, September 21.-
Direct examination OF Professor
John Herman, husband of Mrs. Au-
gusta Tiernan, who charges Harry
Poulin with the paternity OF her
ten months old child, will be con-
tinued by Prosecutor Floyd Jellison
when hearing Of the case Is resum-
ed here today. Examination Of
Herman was begun Tuesday.
Most of yesterday was taken up
with wrangling by the attorneys
over the admissibility of testimony
concerning the marital relations
between the professor and his wife
during a period before the child
was born the testimony finally be-
ing ruled out by Judge Ducomb, on
the ground that the law prohibited
the husband giving such testimony in
case of the character OF the present
one.
Chief points brought out in the
examination of Professor Tiernan
were a denial by him OF the parent,
age of the child and the assertion
that Poulin admitted to him the par
entage and asked to make a settle
ment of the case by offering to pay
the expenses of aCcouchment. He
also told of frequent absences of his
wife from home ostensibly to at
tend church. Mrs. Tiernan previous
ly had testified that she was with
Poulin during these absences. He
told that Poulin showed unusual at
tentions to Mrs. Herman at dances
and parties which the two families
attended together. Another incident
recited by the witness was a meet
ing on the street, with Poulin shoN-
ly after the baby was born. Herman
said when he informed Poulin of
he birth of the child, the latter
turned and with scarcely a word.
strobe quickly away.
Mrs. Mae Poulin, wife of the de-
PENDANT and witness for the state,
will probably follow Herman on the
stand today. Although subpoenaed
by the prosecution she has main
tanned throughout a staunch belief
in her husbands innocence

The Capper- Tincher bill provid

fective the elastic provisions of this
bill this will prove the greatest

The Cpper Tincher Bill
The new act which becomes enec-
tive November was passed by con-
gress as a substitute for the regul3-
tory provisions of the futures trad
ing act of 1921, which provisions
were declared imperative by the
supreme court. 1t follows along the
same lines as the act of 1921, ex-
cept that it is based on the power
of congress to regulate interstate
commerce while the statute to
which the supreme court found OBJ
lection was predlcated on the TAXING
power of congress.
+ Congress exchanges coming under
the new act are those at Chicago,

ST. Louis, Toledo, Milwaukee, San
Francisco Los Angeles and Baltl-
more.
Wallace To Enforce New Law.
Secretary Wallace who as head of
the department of agriculture is en-
trusted with enforcement of the new
law, declared in a statement issued
after the presidents signature had
been affixed that he expected CO.
oeration from legitimate dealers in
grain and from ~ Others who favor
free, open and competitive markets.
This does not interfere with
hedging transactions on the boards
of trade" said Mr.. wallace. Meth
er does it interfere with ordinary
SPECULATION in the buying or selling OF
contracts for future delivery. II
however, there should be evidence OF
undue manipulation or attempts to
corner the market, or of the dissem-
nation of false or misleading infor-
nation about crop or market condi-
tons by members of the exchanges
such conduct would be inquired into
and promptly death with, as requir-
ed BY law. In addition. it prohibits
the exchanges from discriminating
against cooperative associations of
grain producers who may desire
membership in order to obtain use of
the facilities of the grain exchanges.
THE reports that this law will
put the exchanges out of business or
interfere with their legitimate func
tons are without foundation"

JUST STARTED TO FIGHT
Minnesota Legion Head Comments
on Veto Soldier Bonus Bill.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.1

Cloquet, Mimi. September Iii
That the American Legion has
just commenced to fight" was the
Statement of Gerald v. Barron of
Cloquet, department commander of
the American Legion Of Minnesota.
when interviewed today on the SUBJ
|ject of the presidential veto of the
adjusted compensation measure.
Mr. Barron's statement follows:
After three years of passing the
buck, pussyfooting and political idodg
ms, CONGRESS- finally passed the mea-.
sure by an -overwneffming vote.
There is more than suggestion,
though that the whole programe was
cut and dried from the beginning
and that there was an understanding
all along that President HARDING
would veto the bill after the con
gress had passed the measure. Min
ty-f five per cent of the service men
believe that congress and the presi-
dent have not shot square with
them. The whole affair is to the
discredit Of the president and the
congress. / look for a very inter
esting session at the national con-
yention at New Orleans on this mat
ter. For three years the service men
have maintained respectful, patient
and dignified attitude towards con-
gress and the president in the face
of trying circumstances. This &C
ton of the president is the last
straw.
There comes time when ration
al men lose their patience when they
feel in their hearts that they have
been victims of frame up, and
some warm developments may be
looked for from New Orleans. l
subscribe to the views of Jack
MacNider that we are making no
political threats, but I have no hest
fancy in saying that ninety five per
cent of the service men of Mime
sofa are strongly in the mood for
action right now"

ADOPTS STRICT POLICY

Egyptian Government Starts Move
To Put Down Fanaticai Enthusiasm
Cairo, Egypt, August 2l.-lCor-
respondence of The Associated
Press1.-The Inauguration of a
strict policy by the Egvptian gov
eminent to deal with the fanatical
enthusiasm of the school boy poll
ticians is regarded by all the native
papers as a necessity of the hour,
if the Egyptian political and edu-
cational structures are to be saved
from disruption.
The students in the universities
and high schools of the country
Joined in street demonstrations to
help win political freedom for Egypt
have now developed a new move
ment which seems to be a general
revolt against all existing customs
that conflict with their own person
al ACCOMPLISHMENT.
The students, conscious or their
power, have turned their energies
to eliminating examinations. Their
political slogan a year ago was:
We do not want the English" To-
day they are shouting: I'VE want
no more examinations" And they
are keen enough to plan a cam
paign which will use politics as a
lever to make easier their class
room work.
The elections for members of the
new parliament are set for October.
The students aim to see that only
candidates who heed their demanus
are returned to both houses. Their
election cries are now being tried
out in this wise: Vote for Nah
mond Bey and no examinations"
Followers of Zaghloul Pasha are
taking advantage of the students
over zealousness and are shower
ing upon them all kinds of promis
es in return for votes at the coming
elections.
