HANKOW, Dec. 13.-Many towns
and villages in the vicinity of Hankow
are reported to have been seized by
worker and peasant armies led by
Communists. Troops have mutinied
at Liachokow in northern Hupeh and
have taken the city with the support
of armed workers, according to re-
ports received here.
Peasant armies in the vicinity Of
this city have ousted landlords and
confiscated land, the reports also
state
Unrest Grows.
Despite numerous arrests, unrest
here is spreading rapidly and strike
affecting most of the major industries
is not unlikely. Posters attacking the
reactionary Marking government are
being prominently displayed thruout
the city.

"They were standing shoulder to
shoulder" the witness answered.
Can you describe him 2"
mo, SIR"
"Was he tall or short, fat or lean,
young or old?"
Il don't know" replied the star
witness for "the people,"
At one point Jacob Augin, a juror,
rose to interrupt Rocco and demand
that he be more explicit in his de-,
scription of the actual circumstances
surrounding the killing of the two
fascists.
barrow Over-ruled Often.
Apparently accustomed to the pres
ence of Sthe famous Darrow, Judge
Cohn yesterday over-ruled his objec-
tons with montonous regularity. Re-
peatedly and consistently the Judge
whispered, ''overruled", at may
stand, proceed with the next ques-
ton. when barrow challenged the
legality of the procedure followed in
the type of questions directed to the
witnesses by the assistant district at
torney.
The anticipated Sire works" for
which large number of spectators
attended the trial yesterday failed,
due to the singular unimpressiveness
of the testimony of the prosecutions
star witnesses. But the courtroom
was tensely interested whenever OAR
row began his close cross-examina-
ton of the witnesses in his slow,
drawing and oft-times engagingly
ungrammatical speech.
Henderson Banks.
Henderson, assistant district attor-
ney, and Samuel Foley are conduct
ing the case for the prosecution and
the Fascist League of North America.
Henderson acted yesterday like dull
and sullen school-boy who has failed
to prepare his lessons.
Irritated by Darrow's prodding
cross-examination an dhis unwilling
ness to permit anything to be "put.
over" Henderson barked often at
barrow. =.
The judge seems rather bored with
the entire proceedings, the glamour
of the case being slightly furnished in
his eyes by this time. 1t is rumorsd
in Bronx political circles that Cohn
may soon be promoted to the more
austere and desirable post of Judge
of the New York Supreme Court.
Mrs. Carrllo in Court.
Since the trial began last Friday
Mrs. Lima Garlic, wife of GARLIC,
and Mrs. Antonina Comarini, sister
of Greco, have gone to the court room
each morning, remaining until the
close of each daily session.
Yesterday The DAILY WORKER
reporter talked with Mrs. GARLIC
few minutes during a brief recess.
Holding the formal application in her
hand, she said she was making efforts
to place her two-year-old boy in
public institution. Her. other son,
now six years old, she explained in
broken English, is, living with her sis
ter in southern New Jersey, where
he has been since Carrillo was taken
from his work as a clothing presser
and ordered confined in the Bronx
county Jail.

listed.
Investment Stocks Slower.
Standard investment stocks were
slower i'll getting under way. Stlii
they all worked higher. General Elec-
tlfc, General Motors and united
States Steel ranged from a point to
? noints above the preceding close all
the morning. Then when the untitled
tonnage statement of the Steel Cor
poration came out. at noon showing
an increase of 1925 tons, or al
most twice the Wall Street estimates.
the advance was carried further. Not
only steel itself but the stock of the
Independent producers were in brisk
demand. The figures were inter
p;eted as highly favorable and pre-
dlctions were made in well informed
quarters that for the present at least
price cutting in the steel trade had
come to an end.
Steel which had closed at 134A

Rail Buying Continues.
Buying of the rails proceeded with
out any special encouragement in the
news. 1t was the tape itself that
seemed to indicate pending develop
ments notably in the strength shown
by Kansas City Southern among the
lower priced stocks and Lackawanna
in the high-grade dividend paying
class. The tobaccos were strong again
under the leadership of American To-
bacco, both classes of stock more than
regaining the dividend which came off
the price today. Marland was the ia
vorite among the oils. Probably this
stock has a larger speculative follow
ing than any other in its class.
There was more irregularity in the
motors. General Motors was higher.
but buying was restrained by the un-
certainty about the dividend action on
the new stock. 1t was agreed that
the shares would be put on regular
s5 basis, but there was wide dlffer-
ence of opinion as to the size of the
extra. The dividend meeting was not
scheduled to be held until after the
close this afternoon.
