NO VERDICT IN
FORCERYCASE
Jury Disagrees Az To
Guilt OF Matamo- j.
ros Engraver

Rafael Gonzales, alias Remundo
Gomez, alleged by Officers to be the
master forger Of the lower border,
was held for a second trial Tuesday
morning following q report by the
jury before whom he was tried Mon
day that they could not agree.
The foreman reported the jury
stood 7 for conviction and 5 for ac-
q~uittal.
Gonzales, who stated his real name
was Remundo Gomez, is a Matamoros
engraver, p years of age. He was ar
rested in a local bank while trying
TO cash a check for S45 70 which the
name 0f y. n. Wilson had been forg-
ed. He was placed under arrest BY
$. n. Jester and a search revealed
three additional checks together with
several pieces Of paper on which the
name Of Wilson had been traced. The
papers we're found in his hat.
The ~forgeries were very clever,
bank officials stated. Previous to
the arrest Of Gonzales the bank had
cashcd IS checks bearing the forged
signature OF Wilson. ag~gregating ov-
er $500. The signatures IN the cash
ed checks and those found on Con-
gales were almost identical.
Gonzales asserted the checks had
been given him by a cousin named
Jose Perez of whose present where
abouts he had no knowledge. He
stated the checks bore the signature
of Wilson and that he had filled
them out at the request Of Perez,
who, he said. had instructed him TO
cash one check for $45 and return
the rest 70 him.
S. n. Jester testified that Gonzales
had explained to him how he could
duplicate signatures, and the youth
when called upon to make a copy Of
the signature Of Wilson did so with
considerable exactness.
The case went TO the jury at 4
o'clock Monday afternoon, and at 8
o'clock Tuesday morning the foreman
reported they could not agree on a
verdict.
Three other indictments are pend
ing against the Matamoros youth,
but he viii be tried on the same
charge next week the court announc-
ed.

ing on the highways for a period Of
90 days. The youth was placed in
charge Of his father.
The case against Cecilio Cara,
charged with driving while intoxicat-
ed. was continued. the court inform
ing the defendant that in the event
he was arrested for any cause the
case pending against him would be

FOR INDIAN STATE
Difficult Problem Solved
When Tondaiman Picked
for Succession.
BY the Associated Press.


DELHI, India. Nov. 2.-The govern
ment of India has settled the difficult
problem of succession to the throne of
the state of Pudukkottai.
Raja Gopala Tondaiman has been se-
lected to follow Raja Sir Martanda
Bhairava Tondiman Bahadur, who died
May %, 1928. The new ruler is related
by direct descendants to the original
Tondiaman.
The late rulers son, Martanda Sgd
ney, aged IL, was an unpopular candi-
date to succeed his father, because both
father and son had resided abroad since
the fathers marriage in 1915 to Esme
Mary Sorrett Of Melbourne, Australia,
where the son was born.
Pudukkottai is in Southern India, be-
tween the British districts of Tanjore
and Madura. 1t has a population of

FIRST GUN FIRED
in JEWRY DRIVE.
B'nai Birth and Temple
Brotherhood Hear Appeal
in $4,000 Campaign.

The opening gun was fired in the
wider scope campaign Of the B'nai
Birth at the Jewish Community Center
last night.
The occasion was the joint meeting of
the Argo Lodge of the B'nai Birth and
the Brotherhood of the Eighth Street
Temple. Prominent members OF both
organizations appealed for the support
of Washington Jewry in the drive for
$25,000, the Districts quota in the
$2,O00,Oo0 appeal of the Grand Lodge.
The principal speaker was Judge Jo-
Seph L. Kun of the Court of Common
Pleas, Philadelphia. Others who ad-
dressed the joint session were Maj.
Julius 1. Peyser. former member OF the
School Board, who acted as chairman
of the meeting; Joseph A. Wilmer, presi-
dent of District Grand Lodge, No. 5,
embracing the Middle Atlantic States,
and Allen v. de Ford, president Of the
Brotherhood.
This was the second annual Joint
meeting of the two organizations, the
B'nai Birth acting as hosts this year.
Judge Kun's topic was What Can
We DO to Help American Jewry Sur
Vive?" Speaking of the need for COM
batting racial indifference and assimi-
lation, he said:
II We Jews nave no SpeclaI COIllTl-
button to make to life, there is no rea-
son for our separate existence. We
know, however, or ought to know, that
Judaism has been a definite contribu-
ton TO civilization and it would be
nothing short of the most ignominious
6iSloyalty to the sainted memories OF
our fathers to surrender our tradi-
tional duty"
Judge Kun then traced the growth
of the Hillel Foundations from the
establishment of the first one at the
University of Illinois in 1928.
Foundations have since been eStab-
iished at the Universities of Wisconsin,
Michigan, California and Ohio State"
he said. Negotiations are now in prog
reSs for establishing foundations at
Cornell. West Virginia and Pennsylvania
State College.
"It is one of the great mockeries OF
human experience that some things
which have been deserved through
great sacrifice, much suffering and
adversity are permitted to be disSi-
pated through indulgence and indifer-
ence."
In conclusion, Judge Kun pointed out
that the full benefit Of the Hillel work
cannot be realized until foundations
have been established in 100 or more
of the universities.
A musical program of a diverse
nature followed the speeches of the
evening Refreshments were served the

PRIEST HITS HARD
 AT BIRTH CONTROL
Denounc& CompaniOnate Mar, riage Also in Lenten Sermon

Condemnation of birth control, conpanionate marriage, eugenic ehildbirths and other present day proposals was voiced by Father Hubert, member Of the Passionist Order of West Springfield, ill his Lenten sermon at St. Joseph's church last night The arraignment of the practices was one of the most severe ever delivered in this city. A vivid description of the pas sion of Christ in the Garden at Gethsemane led to the eXcoriation Of the attitude which the priest be- lieves the modern world takes to- ward sin.
 "A world of today that condemns a man on street corner propagat- ing the birth control: those who practice it; q world that can respect that particular man ill the West who propagates by what he calls | companionate marriage. a lustful contract: a world that looks upon an unmarried mother as one who has comimtted a simple social CT ror." all these came under the fire of the priests denunciation.
 Those sins for which Christ died, the preacher stated, are regarded by the world today simply as breaches of convention or errors against society. Father Hubert pleaded for a t,lru 1n th. ,rua sense of the wickelness Of sin.
