CHILD IS FOUND;
 ABDUCTOR SOUGHT
Oakland Girl, fl, Safe in Hands
 Of Police

San Bernardino. Cal. Dec. c9 R- With 11-year-old Evelyn Smith of Oakland. the victim of California's second Kidnapping within the last two weeks safe in the hands of county officers here today, a search was under way for her accused ab- ductor. Ernest Arthur t"Robert) McClelland, d paroled convict.
 The discovery of the girl at the home of Mrs Emma J. Spence at Redlands near here last night re- vealed that she had been there since Monday night throughout the time when the search for her and her kdnaper was most intense.
 The girls story told of an auto- mobile trip south from Oakland be- ginning on the afternoon of Christ mas Day when McClelland obtained consent of her parents for her to accompany him to Pasadena. He said his wealthy" mother at Pasa- dena would adopt her.
 Although Evelyn told the Red. lands police she was attacked by Me- Clelland Sunday night when they spent the night in his car in an open field near Bakersfield, physician who examined her sa i'd he found evil dence only of an attempted but un- successful assault.
 Mrs. Spence told the officers that her first knowledge of the Kidnapping came yesterday morning when she read of it in the newspapers. At that time both the girl and McClel- land denied she had been kidnapped and declared that she was his small sister whom he was taking to visit his mother. Fear that her kidnaper would carry out threats made during the trip south kept her silent, Evelyn told the officers when at last they won her confidence.
 McC.elland's mother and his wife. who also lives at Pasadena, both de- nied having any knowledge of his whereabouts. His mother, however. told authorities that he disappeared with a 1o-year-od girl of Parker, Ariz,, several years ago. under cir cumstances similar to those in this case No charges were made in the Arizona case. she said, when tho pair was located at the home of friends.
 When confronted by newspaper accounts of the Kidnapping McClel- land flew into g. storm of denials and left the Spence home In his "bor- rowed' car declaring he would "straighten this thing out" and re- turn at noon to tell them all about it."
 He dld not return and Mrs Spence called the Redlands police.
 Mrs. Spence, as social worker. had corresponded with McClelland at the time he was serving term in Folsom prison on a forgery charge.

Romance Which Began Y Years
 Ago CulIninateS at Altar

Continuation of a romance started IT years ago in the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, took place yesterday morning when Nellie El- Vira DelDonuo Of NeWington and Joseph 5. MigliZzi of this city, both deaf ntutes, were married at g o'clock at St. Mary's church by Rev. Walter J. Lyddy.
 Each, at the age of three years. lost both hearing and speech. Nell lies mother stated yesterday that her daughter had suffered the afflic- ton at the early age while Miglizzi had been knocked down by an auto mobile, resulting in the loss of hear ing and speech. Three years later both entered the school in Hartford to learn the rudiments of lip read ing and other subjects taught there.
 In the school at the age of six years, Joe and Nellie became fast friends. They were always together at play time, and Mrs. Flagg, who was their teacher, often caused mer- riment by remarking that some day they would marry.
 This close friendship lasted for the II years during which they at tended the school together. They were taught to read and write and to form words with their lips and to understand others when they talked. They carried on conversa- tions through this medium and from friendship their relations developed into love.
 In the marriage ceremony, they read Father Lyddy's lips as he asked the questions in the ritual, and they rodded their assent when he called for their answers.
 They were attended by Miss Clara DelDbnna, sister of the bride. as maid of honor. and Tony Nifrio of Elm Hill as best man. Elsie Lenzi and Stella Jachinczyk, both of this city, were bridesmaids. The ushers were Daniel Toce and Domenic Toce. both of Newington.
 A reception was held following the ceremony and wedding dinner was served at noon to more than 100 guests. Supper was served at 6 o'clock. Music for dancing was fur rished during the afternoon and evening by the American Legion or chestra.
 Mir. and Mrs. Miglizzi's will make their home with Mir. Miglizzi's parents, Mir. and Mrs. Francis A. Miglizzi of 33 Lee street. Mrs. Mig lizzi is employed by the American Hosiery Co.,, and her husband is en- ploycd at the r. and F. Corbin Co. plant.

 FAR OUT IN OCEAN
Million Dollar Rum Cargo Taken
 300 Miles 0h Shore

San Francisco, March ? LRl-That the government has carried its war against liquor smucglcrs to the high seas. without regard for the = mile limit in cases where the ships in- volVed are known rum runners be- came apparent here today as federal officials discussed the seizure ycster- day of the frcighter Federalship 800 miles off San Francisco with up- wards of S1.000,000 worth of scotch Whiskey aboard.

 The seizure was conducted under orders from Lieut.. Frank Austin, aide to Captain Frederick C. Dodge. district coast guard commander.
 The Federalship, one of a fleet owned by the Consolidated Export CTS, Inc, of Canada. which recent ly figured in smuggling investiga- tions by both the American and Canadian governments, was watched by coast guards since February @2, when. on sailing from Vancouver, B. C.. she changed her registry from British 10 Panamanian. Al the time she was reported heading for Tahiti.
 Three hundred miles off San Francisco, and carrying orders to shoot away the Foderalship's rudder and steering gear if she was flying the Panamanian flag and refused to submit to inspection, the cutter Ca hokia halted her. T. a few minutes the Caholia wirclcssod headquarters here that the Federalship refused to allow him to go aboard.
 If Federalship continues refusal, fire blank shot over bows" head quarters flashed back. If she still |ressts shoot one pound shell oyer bows, then shoot away rudder and steering gear"

POPE AGAIN HITS
 OUT AT FASCISM
Expresses DisapproYal Of Their
 Conception of State

Rome. March Op' - Pops Plus has again displayed his disap D. proval Of the fascist conception of the state. While not using the term lascist, he left no doubt. in ad- dressing the Lenten Preachers par!sh of Rome yesterday. that he was entirely out of sympathy with the fascist view of everything and everybody in the state for the state.' He emphasized it was the duty Of the preachers in their l.enten sermons to concentrate on the true conception of authority md society. and the functions Of authority and socleety."
 All forms of society" the pontift declared, should be founded on the divine precept guiding the or sanitation of the church that the church was created for men and not men for the church.
 Man is not and never can be q means. He is the end - not Of course the ultimate. supreme end. which is God. but in the creation, man is really the end and center about which everything is organ ized. Therefore. neither the con- cepts of race nor those of the stats or nation should supersede hat of man as the end.'
 It was only last December that the pope in an allocution con- damned certain fascist clements TOT their conception of the state, saying:
 Tt seems there is a conception Of the state which cannot be cath olic. which absoros and monopolizes everything. which makes citizens believe that the state as an end is e gain being emphasized"

BRIBERY FOUND QUITE EFFECTIVE
Is Cutting Down Morale of
 Shanghai Defenders

Shanghai. March ? t.P - The movement ot Shantungese troops into the war thoater south O. here vas believed by competent foreign authorities today to have reached q volume sufficient to stop the Can- tonose advances on Shanghai, so far as actual fighting is concerned ~ However. the question has arisen as 10 whether the defenders will hc able 10 withstand the bribery and propaganda tactics Of the southern CTS, which hitherto has been uni formly successful.
 Boring From Within
 The utter collapse ot the once mighty forces Of Marshal Sun Chuan- Fang, who until ten days ago was the chief defender Of Shanghai. has been brought about principally by the boring from within on the part Of the Cantonese.
 An unconhrmed report received here from Nankins. the provincial capital from where the military operations are being directed. said Sun had telegraphed his resignation as vice commander or the Ankuo- ehun (allied northern armies) 10 Marshal Chang Tso-Lin. northern generalissimo.
