ACTIVITIES TO CEASE

Moscow, Oct. 18-LN-Lcon Trotzky
and his followers, comprising the op-
position to the central executive COM
mittcc Of the communist party, have
Internationally capitulatcd in the
face of "a threat Of political punish
mcnt.
The danger of open warfare in the
party has been avcrtcd. but it is
feared the peace between the opposi-
tion and the majority will be only
temporary; that the expression of re-
grct by Trotxky and his followers for
their dcnunciation of the executive G
committee in reality amounts only to
an armisticc.
Early this month Trotzky and his
followers. including Kamcneff, Plata
koff, Zinovicff, Sokolnikoff and Evdo-
kimOv, began the open air warfare
against the executive committee. In
the fiery speeches the committee was
denounced before meetings Of work
ers for steam roller tactics, "lack Of
democracy within tho party and in
efficiency and mismanagcmcnt."
Several days later the political bu-
reau OF the party, in a resolution,
branded the action Of the opposition
as IAN infringement of party disci-
pline" and "mcnacc to the very unity
of the communist party"
Agree to Obey Rules
Yesterday from the headquarters of
the communist party in the krcmlin,
Trotzkv and his followers, in a signed
statement, announced that they de-
sired to capitulate. They admitted
their attitude threatened. the unity of
the party and gave an undertaking to
obey the rules and dec isi0ns of the
congress Of the party.
II was stated that the members Of
the opposition yielded fully to the
demand of the central executive COM
mittec that they unequivoca!ly accept
all party decisions and acknowledge
that their activities were erroneous
and menacing to the soviet union. y
= In nscapitulating, Trotzky and his ad-
herents made a plea for the rehabili-
tation in the party councils for num-
crous comrades expelled by the party
for supporingt the opposition. The
signatories Of the statement appeal to
groups throughout the country which
have been supporting them to immc-
diately cease their activities against
the central executive committee.

SURPRISE IS
PROMISED BY
PROSECUTION
Hair. Depended on to Identify
Miss X May Have Come
From Horses Tail

Los Angeles, Oct. tP)-Hair, by
means of which attorneys for Aimee
Semple Mcpherson had hoped to
identify the mysterious Miss X" in
her case, may have come from n
horses tail instead Of woman's S
head.
This was intimatcd today, as Il sur
prise" was promised by tho prosecu-
tiOn with resumption in municipal
court Of the cvangclist's criminal
conspiracy hearing after an over
Sunday. recess.
"Thc surprise" was promised
specifically by Mrs. Lorraine Wise
man-Siclaff, co-dcfcndant with Mrs.
Mcpherson, star witness for the state
and confessed pcrpctratOr Of the
Miss X" hoax
Sister Takes Stand
Mrs. Virla Kimball. twin sister Of
Mrs. Wiseman, was summoned as to-
days first witness by the defense to
tell under oath whether she signed
an affidavit at Salinas last August in
which she admitted being the woman
who spent some time ut Carmel in a
cottage with Kenneth G. Ormiston,
former radio operator ut Angelus
Temple, of which Mrs. Mcpherson is
pastor. The state contends the wom-
an with Ormiston was Mrs. McPher-
son. The evangelist declares she was
kidnapped and held for ransom and
that she was never in Carmel.
Mrs. Wiscman has testified that
she was hired and paid by Mrs. Nc
Pherson and Mrs. Minnie Kennedy,
the evangclist's mother, and another
defendant, to produce Miss A."
Mrs. Wiseman testified she produced
as miss X" woman named Rachel
Wells Of Philadelphia, whose where
abouts are now unknown to her.
When Mrs. Wiseman and Mrs. KIM
ball appeared last Saturday before
Judge ]. A. Bardin at Salinas, before
whom the woman posing as miss X"
made her affidavit, he positively
identified Mrs. Kimball as the woman
who swore last August that she was
miss X"

At the time of the August affidavit
Mrs. Wiseman says that Roland Rich
Woolley, Mrs. McPherson's attorney,
who was present, requested Mrs.
Wiseman and miss X" to give him
samples Of their hair for identifica-
tion purposes. Mrs. Wiseman says
now that both she and Miss Wells
were wearing artificial switches, made
probably from horses tail. and that
Il is that which Mr.. Woolley has and
not her or Miss Wells hair.
The statement of A. s. Page, held
at Salinas on forgery charge, that
Mrs. Mcpherson paid him $4,000 to
pose as one of her kidnapers, thus
FAR has failed to bring comment from
defense attorneys. County officials
continue to scout his story. Page
said he had served term for forgery
In the Ohio state penitentiary in
1916 and that he was released from

/. c. Bill
BEFORE
HOUSE

The District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill emerged from
conference from the House and
Senate today, carrying approx.
mately $SS, 01S,OOO.
The measure was described by
Senator Phipps as "the best Dis
trict bill We have ever reported:
It should gain the approval Of
all Washington citizens"
Main Points In Bill
Highlights OF the compromise
bill are these: 4
An increase in the water rate Of
1917 per cent, or half of what the
House bill originally provided, was
agreed upon by the conferees.
The House won out in it's con-
tention that all school and park
purchases should be made at a
cost not to exceed % per cent of
the assessed value Of the property
in question.
The Senate appropriation OF $780,
900 for repairing and resurfacing
local streets was kept in the bill.
Nearly all of the House paving
projects for local streets also were
accepted by the Senate conferees.
This represents a substantial in.
crease for new paving oyer the
items carried in either the House
or Senate bills. ~
The school program was left
largely as written in the Senate
bill.
The House agreed to the elimina.
ton of all its school items, with
the exception of the construction of
the Petworth School, and of a gym
nasium and assembly ball in the
Western High School.
The House accepted the Senate
amendment making the 871a per
cent limitation on the cost of cleo
trio lighting apply to the street
lamps as well as to the interior
lights in District buildings.
This means that the District and
Federal Government will pay 12h
per cent less for it's lighting than
District residents.
The 25 per cent limitation on
the purchase price of school sites
which was accepted by the Senate
conferees, applies in part to the
purchase of park property.

CANDY KID JURY

BUFFALO, N. Y. April 27.-The
Whittemore jury was still out early
this afternoon after having had the
case in its hands since 5:45 o'clock
last evening.
Richard Reese Whittemore, the
bandit on trial, is accused OF the
Staying Of two Buffalo bank messen'
gers in a $4,000 may car holdup
on October 20, 1925.
Disagreement among the jurors
brought its members into court at
1895 o'clock this morning with
request that the evidence of Esslie
v. Kraft, printer, and B. Bradley
Lansill, salesman, be read to them.
This was done, requiring an hour
and ten minutes.
At 11:35 the jurors went back into
the jury room and resumed their de-
liberations.
While the jury was celebrating,
Mrs. Margaret Whittemore, the
"Tiger Girl" wife of the defendant,
and r. V. Whittemore, father of
the bandit, waited the trying hours
away in the courtroom. Their hopes
rose as time passed. They believed
the delay in the jury room meant
that Whittemore will beat the case
or at least secure a disagreement.
Whittemore was taken to the jail
Immediately the jury retired and
will remain there incommunicado
until it comes into court to report
or to ask for instructions.
