REJECTS PETITION
OF STRASSBURCER
Pennsylvania Court Holds
Radio Affidavit Is
Illegal.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press,
HARRISBURG. Pa March 1.-THE
Dauphin County Court today dismissed
the petition of Ralph Beaver Strass-
burger. which sought to compel Charles
Johnson, secretary OF the common
wealth. to accept his nomination petit
tions as delegate at large to the Repub-
lican national convention.
The decision set at naught the efforts
OF the wealthy Norristown publisher to
have his name placed on the ballot
through court proceedings and the use
OF radio to transmit his signature and a
power of attorney to sign his petitions
from Europe to the United States.
The Election Bureau had refused to
accept his nominating petitions because
they were signed by Norman B. Wam-
Sher, using a cablcd power of attorney
from Strassburger. The bureau held
that the cabled power OF attorney was
illegal and insufficient for the purposes
OF the signing of the petitions.
The State held that the radio af-
fldavit was irrelevant to- the case and
legally amounted to nothing more than
facsimile OF the original.
When StraSSburger was finally de-
clded upon as member Of the big
seven" 1t was too late for him to return
to the United States from Europe to
sign personally his nomination petition.
As result OF the courts decision. w.
d. b. Ainey. chairman Of the Public
Service Commission. will take StraSs-
burgers place on the Republican dele

BY a STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.
RICHMOND, Va. March 12.-The
last debate of the 1928 Legislature is
over. but there still remains unsettled
one Of the greatest controversies of the
whole session--the question Of who Won
the Dempsey Tunney fight.
The question jumped right into the
middle Of the legislative sessions with
the private showing to members of the
General Assembly of the much-dis-
cussed films Of the big fight. which have
been barred from a number Of the
States under the Federal law prohibit
ing transportation of prize fight films.
Films Get Into State.
Somehow or other the films got into
Virginia and the question of whether
they might be publicly exhibited in the
State was put up to the State Supreme
Court Of Appeals. This court recently
ruled that they could be shown. The
films seemed TO have gotten around the
law on the ground that they are not the
original pictures of the fight, but just
copies thereof.
While the legal fight was on, the films
remained in the custody Of the State
board Of censorship at the State Office
building here. across from the capitol

In recommending only a few installa-

land explained to the Commissioners
that 1t was not thought advisable to
put the lights throughout the entire
congeSted area until definite plan can
be developed based on scientific sur
veys Of certain conditions which he out
lined as follows:
The distribution of traffic within the
congested area: parking conditions; eff
feet on business. due to the elimination
OF parking II found necessary; the tim
Ing for automatic control of lights to
fit present and future traffic needs; the
question OF independent adjustment at
each intersection to fit daily traffic vari-
atoms: the necessity for fire signals in
connection with traffic lights; If such
fire signal Is necessary; the method
OF giving such signals through central
or local control: effect Of fire signal
upon traffic and possible congestion;
the actual necessity of traffic signals
at this time TO handle slow-moving
traffic, which condition prevails in the
congested area: effect upon street car
and bus lines: congestion of traffic, par
ticularly on and G streets when street
cars and buses are loading or un-
loading passengers with the signal clear
for traffic
The question of loading platforms or
safety zones at all car stops and the
protection OF passengers going to and
from the sidewalks and safety zones or
platforms when the signals are clear for
traffic: the methods for providing signal
operation for street cars making right
or left hand turns and to safeguard
other traffic during the time the turns
are being made, and the necessity of
regulation to govern pedestrian traffic

and the State Office building. They
wanted to make sure. they said. that
the films were not Objectionable or any
thing. The board of censorship was
kept busy during the last few weeks OF
the session affording the Delegates and
Senators private showings of the film
Victor In Fight Unsettled.
The consensus of the General As
sembly was that the pictures do not
settle the controversy over who won
the fight Many arguments developed
between Dempsey and Tunney fans
after they had viewed the pictures, and
during the heat of debate on the floor
over such problems of state as consti-
tutional amendments. highways and
schools, members could be seen banging
their fists on their desks and converSing
in firm tones over how low we're the
low blows to Tunney's mid-section. and
how long the count of the referee as
Tunney lay on the canvas.
Legislators often gathered in the cor
ridors and demonstrated just how
Tunney won from Dempsey. as they
saw 1t, or how Dempsey could come
back if he wanted to. And they went
home still contending that the films
don't prove anything one way or the
other.
