FIVE MOBILIANS ]. TO FACE TRIAL
 IN LIQUOR CASES
Federal Agents To Be Among Long List Of
 Agents

MOBILE, Ala, August 27-(Spe. cial Leased Wire. )-Federal agents who worked here last summer in the liquor investigation and resulted in the famous conspiracy trials, were among the long list of witnesses being summoned today to testify tomorrow at the trial of five Mobilians who are charged with con- spiracy to bribe a federal officer.
 William H. Holcombe, Jr., former sheriff; Dr. A. c. Ward, member of the board of revenue; H. NJ. Cochran, Percy H. Kearns and Frank Boykin will face trial on a charge of acting as agents of the liquor dealers and con spiring to brihe Aubery Boyles, federal district attorney.
 The case was expected to be one of the most sensational of the entire fed eral procedure against the liquor con spiracies as the defendants already have been prominently connected with the conspiracy trials and Holcombe was the complainant in similar charge against Boyles that was nolle pressed at this session of the court.
 Subpoenas were being served today bS the federal marshal's office on per sons in the city and in the county but the list was not made public until serv- ice can be obtained on all of the names to be called.
 It is rumored that some of the de. fendants convicted last week will turn states evidence.

DELAYS
 REICHSTAG VOTE
 ON PARATIONS
Measure Not Expected To Get Needed Ma
 jority
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Aug. 27.-Although the reichstag passed the second reading of the Dawes bills today by a general majority of 24S to 174, the balloting virtually leaves the government only a scant hope of obtaining the two thirds majority required for. final pas sage when the measure, as whole, is up for its last reading unless the riA- tionalists conclude to give it nega- tive support by permitting defections i'll their reichstag delegation when the vote is taken.
 The balloting has been postponed un- til Friday owing to prolonged interrup- tions today by rioting communists. The nationalists are holding a secret caucus tonight at which the party's attitude when the critical vote is taken will be determined.
 The disturbances in the reichstag which terminated in general fighting to call in squad from police head quarters to remove three of the com munists. The incident has measurably quickened the yearning among the bourgeois parties for early dissolu- tion.
 The middle parties, on the other hand believe the present is an awakened period for new elections inasmuch as delayed ratification of the London pact through new reichstag would pre- cipitate the gravest economic and po- litical convulsion within Germany, even if the Marx-Strt semann cabinet pro- ceeds to ratify the pact before the end of the month.

In an ac. companying statement, Morton de. nounced the republican party as the standard bearer of religious and racial hatreds and bigotry." He also criti. cised General Dawes for his reference to Adventurous youth" joining the klan. and predicted that the klan issue alone will result Tn a majority of the negroes Ill the east voting the democratic ticket.
 In another statement issued through democratic headquarters, Charles II. Me. Glue, chairman of the democratic state committee of Massachusetts, asserted that the failure of President Coolidge to state his position on the klan is GlienAting thousands of republicans in Massachusetts, "who believe that a can tlidate for high office should state just what his position is on every great public question, and not send out any substitutes to infer what his position might be-"

TENNESSEE IS SAFE"
Hull Predicts Purging of 1920 Shame
 At Polls
(Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 27. Tennessee is as safely democratic as Alabama"
 This was a statement of Cordell Hull, former chairman of the democratic ex- ecutive committee, who returned to Washington from 6 visit to his native state today.
 Interviewed by this bureau, Mir. Hull said: "Of course, it is true that Ten nessee went for Harding in 1920. We are constantly reminded of that fact, and we will admit it. But this is 1924. And it is certain that Tennessee will go overwhelmingly for John W. Davis.
 Tt will purge itself beyond all ques- tion, and will wipe out the shame of 1920"
 Chairman Clem Shaver of the com mittee, in a statement for the press to- day, declared it signified that campaign contributions were coming into head quarters from republicans and progress sives with surprising regularity.
 There has never been a more sem sational response to a candidates speeches in this country than to those of our nominee" he said.

CHARITY FARMS
 ARE CONDEMNED
 IN WIDE SURVEY
Vicious Conditions Exist In Many States, Re-
 port Shows
(Leased Wire to The Age-HeraId.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.--P T farms in the United States are, on the whole, unclean, vicious and should be abolished, Harry c. Evans of Des Moines, Iowa, when he laid before 1t the result of a nationwide survey he has been making for that organization jointly with department of labor ex- perts.
 A pig-stye is luxurious in compari- son with some poor farms, he declared.
 Twenty inmates of the poor farm in Stone county, Mo, were found living on the swill from slop barrels" Evans said. In Laclede county, Mo, the poor farm consists of four log cabins which are crowded with men and women, three-fourths of whom are feeble minded. Tn a poorhouse in Maryland, an overseer sawed off the broken gan greened leg of an old man inmate. These are sample horrors. A pig-stye is luxurious in comparison with some of the poorhouses of the nation"
 Conditions in various states covered so far by the survey were revealed by Evans in this way:
 Arkansas: "Poorhouses unfit for hu. man habitation."
 Georgia: Forty per cent of inmates Predetermined. All classes thrown to. gether. Ninety-four counties do mt have poorhouses and paupers are cared for in convict camps.
 Iowa: ,'Erhere are 100 farms in which LISA insane inmates are con- fined with 1878 other dependents. Forty per cent of all inmates insane. Not trained nurse in any poorhouse.
 Missouri: "Poor-farm inmates num- Der 2,058 ;,Qf these, 2S3 are insane and AS feeble-minded. Over half the in- mates are insane or feeble-minded."
 New York: Tn a total of S,732 in- mates, 1,565, or 20 per cent, are mem tally defective"
 Oregon: Inmates of the poor-farms, who are feeble-minded, form the sec ond largest group"
 Pennsylvania '"There are 651 fec ble-minded are 56 idiots in poorhouses. The inmates are classified as normal, insane, idiots, feeble-minded, blind, deaf mutes, sufferers from chronic disease, criminals, mother of illegitimate chill dten, orphans and deserted children all mussed up, mixed up and mingling together
 s'In South Carolina, Tennessee, Wis. consin and West Virginia, the average of feeble-minded is 30 per cent. Many children are reported in the poorhorses of Arizona, Delaware, Indiana, Kansas, New Jersey, Massachusetts, North Caro- lima, Virginia and West Virginia"

terrible" he exclaimed in tones of hor- TOT, the report revealed.
 MT. Grove contended that that was a display of emotion.
 Are these two defendants, purpose less, aimless, wandering young boys. tripping light-heartedly through life without a care, without thought for the morrowY He resumed after a brief pause.
 Another answer was picked from the report, in the language of Loeb:
 "We felt certain that we would not be caught, or we would not have gone into it."
 Would Try Again.
 And, later, this also from Loeb:
 q believe I would go into this thing again if I was sure I could get the money, and if was certain l would not be caught"
 Mir. Grove also found in the report, references to "A, B, 0, and D." four unrevealed episodes in Loeb's life. Those, he contended, were known to Leopold and used by the latter as black mail to keep Loeb in subjection. ''They dispose of the king-slave theory of the defense" he said.
 Mir. Grove said he would prove that these were -four major crimes" com mitted by Loeb, but he did not reach that stage in his argument today.
 "A, B, c, D,-and the murder of Bobby Franks is E." he thundered to the court.
 While less energetic in his argu- ments today than when he started, Mir. Grove lost no opportunity to pour hot shots of investice and sarcasm into the defense position.
 Quotes President.
 He read a presidential document by Theodore Roosevelt, which he said ap- piled to the case at bar. The letter de- nied pardon to a federal prisoner and to follow the thoughts of this states man than the sophistrfes of Clarence Darrow," chief defense counsel.
 He used a similar vein in answering the defense contention that an "aus- tere" governess had unfavorably af- fected Loeb's early life, charging that the defense had sent her away be- cause "she would not commit perjury and testify that her charge had been anything but normal.
 '"The worst she would say of him, was that he was a lazy student" ," charged MT. Grove.
 The defense attorneys objected sev- eral times that Mir. Grove was going outside the record of the hearing and once Judge Caverly halted the states attorney when he started to reiterate charges that the defendants had planned to kidnap a little girl.
 T do not wish to limit you, but you must not repeat that" said Judge Caverly. 'We went over that phase yesterday when the ladies were ex- cluded. We have them. with us again today" and the judicial eye swept the crowded room. where masculine attire appeared only as spots in the bright array of summer gowns

INSPECTOR DENIES ACTUAL PART IN MAIL HOLD-UP
Professional Jealousy Is Blamed For Arrest In
 ROndout Case

CHICAGO, August 27-Postal In- spector William Fahey, held in connec- tion with the $2,O00.O00 Rondout, Ill, mail train robbery, confessed to Charles Clarahan today that he tipped off Jim mic Murray, alleged fence, concerning activities of secret service men in their investigation of the robbery.
 Fahey said, according to officials, that he received inside information that secret service men were going to at tempt purchase of bonds from Murray and inasmuch as he was working in the case himself was seeking individual honors.
 He denied emphatically that he was involved in the actual holdup and characterized his arrest as "frame-up." E Postal Inspector Clarahan declared, however, that evidence points clearly to Fahey's implication in the robbery and that he would go before the federal grand jury within a few days to ask indictment No other postal inspectors are involved, he said. Secret service men are tracing a banking account which Fahey is reported to maintain.

 boats, twisting heavy iron stanchblons and gushing geyser.like. through smashed portholes flooding virtually ev- cry cabin on the two upper decks. Four life rafts were swept overheard as was q lifeboat,
 Other lifeboats were shattered and left in splinters. The deck companion ways were washed and blown away.
 The wireless aerial was incapacitated for several hours. The seas that at times sent the liner over to an angle of 5 degrees shifted her cargo until she had list of 10 degrees. As the hurricane passed all the crew that could be spared spent hours in repair. ing the cargo to put the Arabic on an even keel again.
 At the height of the storm panic ruled the passengers on all decks. It was all the officers could do to calm the whimpeFing women and children while some of the male passengers had to be accorded rough treatment before they could regain their composure. < The shaken and injured, many of them suffering, apitiably from seasick- ness had no dry places to sleep that night. Tables were transformed into couches, deck chairs were utilized and the decks provided the nights lodging for good portion of those aboard. The ships water was contaminated by the brine and the thirsty had to con tent themselves with fruit juices and bottled waters until the Arabic docked.
 The Munargo was the next hardest hit. She was in the thick of the gale from Sunday afternoon until g o'clock yesterday morning, many hundreds of miles south of the point where the hur- ricane hurled itself upon the Arabic, p miles east of Nantucket. During that period nobody on board slept. Both the Munargo and the Orizaba were flooded from stem to stern and each bore ample marks of the thrash ing handed them by the storm.

PAUL BARNES HURT
 IN NEW YORK ROW
Was Recently In Hotel Business
 In Atlanta

NEW YORK, August 27.-An out cry of several men and worn n in eve ming dress, who were leaving cabarets in the neighborhood, took Policeman Joseph Meehan into Forty-fifth street between Broadway and Sixth avenue al 4 a. m., today. Several men he was told by the witnesses had beaten a well dressed man for no apparent reason.
 The battered man was the only one of the belligerents who remained. He said he was Paul Barnes, 39, stopping at the Waldorf and seemed hazy on the cause of the trouble. At the West Forty-seventh station, Dr. Fitch of Bellevue attended him for a broken nose, two black eyes and many cuts and bruises. He then was taken to his hotel to recuperate. All that could be learned from him, was that he registered from Birmingham, Ala.
 Paul Barnes, originaly from Decatur Ala, and more recently in the hotel business in Atlanta, had gone to New York to become assistant manager of the Waldorf-Astoria, according to in. formation in Birmingham.
