GANGSTER, NO
LONGER BOLD,

Birger, Dragging Lawhreak-
er, Looks to Supreme Court
to Save Him
CELL LIFE IS STRAIN
Form Accomplices Arc
Awaiting Day They Will
Start Prison Sentence

Benton, Ill.,. July 25.--lP)-His
colorful career as deadly machine
gunner and leader of the most form
liable band Of southern Illinois
gangsters at an end, Charles Birger.
Dragging law-deficr and conspirator.
today looked to the state supreme
court to save him from the hang
mans moose.
The once-jaunty gangster, who has
declared that mo law is strong
enough to hold me-" now has an. op-
portunity to reconsider his defiant
declarations, following his conviction
yesterday by jury in circuit court
here for the murder of Mayor Joe
Adams Of West City last December.
Pale and Haggard
He no longer is the daring, swag.
gering two-gun man that he was dur
ing the reign Of gang warfare in the
coal belt. The strain of.15 days OF
trial which has confronted him and
long days of confinement in Jail here
shows plainly on his countenance,
and he appears pale and haggard.
Birger places his only hope to
escape the gallows on an appeal to
the supreme court, in case Judge G
H. Miller overrules proposed mo.
tion for a new trial, and it is likely
that the motion will be filed in q
day or two.
Henchmen In Jail
Meanwhile, Birger's two former
henchmen. Art Newman and Ray
Hyland, also convicted with the ganp
chieftain and sentenced to life in the
penitentiary, are in the county Jail
with Birger, awaiting Judge Miller's
decision on date for their incarcer.
alton. Their counsel has indicated
they may file a motion for a new
trial, although it generally is re-
ported they are satisfied with the
verdict.

Crown Prince Expected to

!. less Influenced

Bucharest. Rumania, July 25.-[R
Ferdinand, first king Of greater
Rumania, rested today in the peace
full white marble church at Curtea
de Arges, besides the ashes of his
great uncle, Carol, whose work he
extended.
Standing out among the floral
tributes was hugh wreath of fleur
dc lis. and pillow Of white roses,
placed by Queen Marie after the in
terment yesterday. The pillow was
placed in behalf of former Crown
Prince Carol, who renounccd his
throne and now is living virtually in
exile in France.
Verge Of Collapse
Queen Marie appeared on the verge
of collapse several times during the
ceremonies. She swooned earlier in
the day after kissing her husband
before the coffin was sealed.
As the royal party was leaving the
church, six year old King Michael,
ruler by reason of his fathers
,renunciation Of his royal prerogs-
tives, asked:
"Are they going to leave grandpa
here alone Can't | stay with him p
VuCSU MdEIC ID convinced LnaL
Carol will not attempt to gain the
throne Of Rumania.
Il think" she told the correspond
ent, "that out Of respect for the
memory Of his father, who sacrificed
everything for him, Prince Carol will
remain outside Of the country, but
what political intrigues may force
him to do is another thing"
When she was asked If her son
had expressed any repentance before
the king died, she broke down and
between sobs said:
, Shows Generosity
Neither the king nor myself re-
4 eeived a single word from him. 1t
was his pitiless indifference, silence
and continued indiscretions in Paris,
which broke the kings heart and
hastened his death. But the king in
his will and final letter to Premier
Bratiano, expressed toward his first
born the same extraordinary gen.
erosity and forgiveness which formed
such a striking part of his char
acter.
"Carors single act when he learned
that the king had died, was to
telegraph to his sister, Marie, asking
her to place white roses xs near as
possible to the kings body"

RAILROAD TAX
CASE Up OCT. 5
Biggest Lawsuit in History
Faces Federal Court.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-Gov-
eminent efforts to recapture excess
railroad earnings, as provided by the
Transportation Act of 1920, are faced
with another major attack, it was
learned at the Interstate Commerce
Commission today.
This attack will be launched by
railroad lawyers in the United
States District Court at st. Louis,
Oct. S, when a legal contest will be
started for the largest financial
stake on record, estimated between
ten and thirty billion dollars.
This amount represents the differ
ence in the value Of the railroads of
the United States, as seen by the
l. G. G. and the railroads. The case
to be started at st. Louis is expected
70 lead to a United States Supreme
Court decision, settling the question
of railroad valuation.
At the outset of the st. Louis case,
it waSNstated at the I. G. G. today,
railroad attorneys will make the con-
tention that the whole question of
the facts involved in the valuation
dispute, insofar as it applies to
Government efforts to recapture ex-
cess earnings, are subject to court
review.
Heretofore the view has been that
1. g. @, findings concerning facts
are final, and that the courts can
only review questions of law.

navy AROUSED
over ARTICLE
BY ADMIRAL
Inefficiency Charges Made
by Magruder Cause of
Controversy.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
TTuifed PreSs STAR C0rresnondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. - A
storm blew over the navy today as
the result of rear admiral's mag
azine article criticising the service
because of too many adinirals and
other alleged excessive overhead.
Possible violation of navy regula-
tons was seen in failure OF Rear
Admiral Thomas Pickett Magruder
to submit to Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur a copy of an article printed
in this weeks Saturday Evening
post, which contained the admiral's
trenchant remarks.
Secretary Wilbur said today he
had taken no action yet Naval
oficersa privately said Magruder's
article was unnecessarily severe.
Discuss Court Martial
Navy men meanwhile discussed
Magruder's charges at length.
Opinion was divided as to whether
a court-martial could be ordered, as
Magruder's criticisms were mostly
of the system rather than his SUI
perior officers.
One of Magruder's inefficiency
J charges was based on presence of
twenty-four officers on the faculty
Of the navy medical school here,
with only sixteen students in at
tendance. Officers replied that the
faculty men were doing eight hours
work daily at the naval hospital
here and that Magruder had select
ed low point Of the year.
Too Many Admira1s
Presence of f1fty-five adfnirals of
various ranks in the navy, sixty-two
typewriters and the accompanying
red tape on a single ship, and seven
east coast navy yards. we're among
the numerous navy features men
toned by Magruder
Navy men in reply blamed Con-
gress, pointing out that the little~
used navy yards cannot be abolished
except by Congress, where great po--
litical pressure so far has prevented
any retrenchment.
