GIRL WHO SENDS 25
 TO DEATH UNM0VED
Soviet Judge, 2S, and HOmely,
 Gives Interview to A. P.

Moscow, April 26,-(By the Asso- eiated Press) Anna Gluz- man, the 23 year old presiding judge Of the Moscow district court who a few days ago sent seven men to their 1 deaths for robbery, informed the As- sociated Press correspondent today ] that she had imposed the death penal i ty on about a5 persons since February and had not lost a moments sleep or been troubled by her conscience because of them.
 Tries 10 be Alerciful
 Asked how, as a woman, she felt when doomed men were shot, she re- piled that the question of individual lives could have no consideration when crimes against the safety of the state and the public were involved She had to administer justice accord ing 10 the law of evidence though she tried to temper her decisions with mercy, when possible.
 Not at All Pretty
 With a cigarette held firmly be- tween tight lips and the fire of an en- thusiast in her brown eyes. the girl judge spoke of her court experiences. She is slim and short, not at all pret- ty: her brown wavy hair is bobbed and parted on the side like a mans. her jaw is stern. Dressed as she was today, Citizeness Gluzman might have posed for the representation of what sometimes is imagined as a typical woman communist.
 Wears Coarse Clothes
 A pleasant smile saved her from positive ugliness but there was no hint of feminine finery in her rough high boots, black skirt, blue denim work mans blouse buttoned high at the neck and an old brown sweater which | she wore. Her only ornament was the | red enameled badge of the commun- ! ist party.
 Sends 25 to Doom
 "Since February I have tried eight | or ten capital cases, mostly banditry | and theft of public property she ! said. She paused moment to con- sider when asked how many persons she had sentenced to death and an- swered T think about 25 since Feb- ruary." These include one woman, [ convicted last Thursday of assisting q gang of robbers.
 No, l have never seen an execu- tion," she continued. Sometimes the law requires the presiding judge to attend these but always I have been busy at other things at the time and detailed someone else"
 Anna Gluzman is not married; she lives alone in little room without pets.
 Like Everyone Else
 'But when I am outside of the court" she explained, T am just like anyone else. l like to visit my friends and go to the theaters."
 This new figure in communist ac- tivities is a native of Kishinev, Bes- sara bia, of Jewish parentage. She had % quit school and go to work when L3 years old but she managed to ed- lcate herself and studied law at Odes- "a university. She joined the commun- { st party in 1918 and served two years i $ judge of local tribunals in Khar- I ,ov, but never had capital case un- ( il she came to Moscow. The supreme f ourt of Russia, or the central execu- Y i've committee only can reverse or l, mitigate her decisions in the Moscow 1 istrict court. r

HOOVER SUMMONS
 RE I AL DEALERS r | R CONF FERENCE
Plans Investigation Of Meth ods For Elimination Of
 Lost Motion
By THOMAS l.. STOKES cnScd Wire to The Age-HernIdl

WASHINGTON, July As another step in the general program for stamping out waste in industry Sec retary of Commerce Hoover has called a conference of retail trade associa- tions to consider elimination of lost motion in distributing the essentia. commodities which go into avery American home.
 Saving of money, time and effort for the producer middleman and consumer is the final aim of the conference. It Is the initial move in a scheme that is to inclu1e tho whole cross-section of comm odity produc- tion and distribution-manu wholesalers and warehousers.
 The meeting of retailers will be held here Friday and Saturday of this week.
 Pnull to Have Charge.
 Irving S. Paul, head of the newly created division of economic com merce. will take charge of the first meeting in Hoover's absence. Five representatives each will attend from the National Retail Grocers' associa- tion, the National Dry Goods associa- tion, the National Retail Shoe Deal CTS association, the National Hard Retail Clothiers' association.
 The general plan of investigation win be to start with the finished product-shoes, suits of clothes, canned goods, and so on-and then trace back, step by step, through every operation of production and distribution to the raw msterial, , searching for wasteful practices. Develop Regular System.
 The aim Is to develop system that will produce a steady and un- hampered flow of goods from the raw material to the finished com modity into the hands of the con- sunfer. The movement follows the campaign now under way in the de- pertinent of commerce aimed at elimi- mating waste in industry by simpli- fication and standardization of man products, which has already resulted in saving millions of dol lars, according to Hoover's estimate.
 The same method, perhaps, will be followed in the distribution problem as in standardization; that is, the de- partment makes an investigation, recommends the changes, and then calls on the various manufacturers to cooperate. When 75 per cent have consented the change recommended by the department is put into effect in that portion of the industry.

LAT GILLETTE HOLDS REPUBL LICAN FATE WITHIN H|S HANDS
If Wisconsin Senator Bolts Party, Harding Sure To
 Be Defeated
By RAYMOND CHAPTER

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Senator LaFollette holds the fate of the re- publican party in 1924 more c.m- rIetcly in his hands than is generally rt alized Whether Harding can be reelected depends largely upon whether LaFollette remains in the fold or bolts with his large persona! following and robs the majority party of it's marginal strength as Roosevelt did in 1912.
 In deciding whether to venture or third party ticket, LaFollette will be guided by two developments. First: The action of the farmer labor and minority political groups now meeting at Chicago.
 Second: The outcome. of the Min nesota senatorial election two weeks hence. LaFollette Is supporting the mer-labor candidate, Magnus Johnson, against Governor Preus, the republican candidate.
 O o O
 Urge LaFolIette.
 LaFollette is urged to head the farmer labor movement on third presidential ticket next year by those who believe that the time has come to force a real gHanent of the old parties on a progressive conservative basis. To the objection that this probably would only insure the cleo tion of a democrat. as in 1912, the third party packers reply that hay ing captured the balance of power in Congress, the time has arrived to form a permanent national political organization which could be held to- gether until 1928.
 The infant mortality of new par ties has been universally high in due part to the visionary nature of the leadership and in part to the lack of a solid organization able to survive through the long gaps be- tween campaigns. The insurgents must at the outset count on a defeat in the coming election so far as their national ticket is concerned, and be prepared to hold together through the long pull afterward.
 New Cleavage 2 3n Q Order. d
 Realignment of the old political parties is advocated not only by pro- gressives but by conservatives like A. Munsey. They believe that the democratic and republican parties have ceased to represent funda mental differences of policy and that new cleavage is in order. Party lines are almost wiped out in Minne sota, where progressive republicans are supporting the farmer-labor ticket, and conservative democrats, realizing their own candidate has no chance, are flocl<ing to aid of Cover nor Preus, the regular republican candidate. This may prove to be the starting point of a nation wide shift.

Father SGves His Child By Human Shield

In a heroic attempt to save the life of his Swear old son, Frank Rimer, 424 Twenty sixth street, north, dashed in front of a speeding automobile and, catching the child in his arms, used his back as a shield from the wheels of the machine, Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock in front of the Avondale zoo.

His father reached the child only a fraction of a moment be- fore the wheels of the car passed over the two bodies. Owing to protection afforded by his fath- CTS back the child escaped all most certain death.
 The name of the driver was not ascertained by the police Wednesday night.

 Weather forecasts on wind cur- rents indicated that the balloons would follow a northeasterly course, probably skirting the southern shore Of the great lakes or hopping across into Canada.

UNCLE SAM TAXES ACTIVE HAND TO PRE VENT STRIKES
Union Men Prepare Demands
 To Be Submitted-Bitter Fight Expected
Fly THOMAS l.. STOKES Wire 10 The Age-HernId d

WASHINGTON, July 4. - Union miners and operators of the anthra- cite coal fields will negotiate under the heavy shadow of the government when they meet at Atlantic City, July G, to draw up a new wage scale sup planting the one ending August 31, this year.
 They will be stimulated to come to prompt agreement by the re- cent, repeated demands of government officials-President Harding, Secre- tary Hoover and Attorney General Daugherty, as well as Chairman John Hays Hammond, of the United StateS coal commission-that the public must be protected against such national tle-ups as caused widespread trouble last year, and that it's repetition will not be tolerated.
 Taking Active Interest.
 For the first time in history the government is taking active part in forwarding wage negotiations HaV- ing urged speedy agreement, it will now keep a WatChful eye on the meeting It Atlantic City, principally through the United, States coal com mission here.
 Hammond has already warned both sides Recently he repeated his eau lion to miners in their preliminary conference at Scranton, saying that public sentiment will not tolerate a suspension of its anthracite coal supply with the beginning of the fall and winter season."
 There will naturally be much pre- liminary pickering as the Atlantic City Nconference gets under way, Miners to Submit Demands.
 For the purpose of trading, the miners, through John L. Lewis, will submit the Scranton demands, includ- ing:
 A 20 per cent increase in contract wages; S2 a day increase for men paid by the day; tWo-year contract with full recognition of the union; uniformity and equalization of all day rates and an eight-hour day for all men employed in and about the mines. The increase and the two-year con- tract will be the center of warm fight. Operators will stoutly oppose any increase, and will also make a determined fight for q year con tract. While miners will demand an increase. it is widely believed they will be content to retain the present wage scale if the contractS period is heightened TWo-year contracts were tl:e rule in the anthracite industry uHlil last year.
 It has been suggested that the re- suit will probably be a contract to extend until April l, 1925, when the bituminous contract will also eX- p;re. This will place both anthracite and bituminouS miners on the same basis, so that they will be in a po- sItiop for united action.

 Occasionally we read in Metropolitan periodicals of the

 The people Of these mountains are rich in patriotism, courage, content ment, independence and self reliance. They still cling in a large degree to the simple religious faith of their fathers and to the representative form of government conceived by Washington, Hamilton and Madison.
