FIVE COMMUNIST
DEPUTIES FACE
LONG JAIL Term
French Tories Seek to
Violate Immunity

PARIS, Jan. 12.-It is feared that
an alliance of the socialist and the
reactionaries may succeed in sending
the five French Communist deputies
back to prison when the vote on par
liamentary immunity is taken in the
French Chamber today.
Poincare has cunningly connected
the vote with the stability Of his
ministry, and the results of the bal
loting will constitute an expression
of confidence in the government. AS
result it is believed that some
deputies who might otherwise vote
for parliamentary immunity, fearing
the time when they also might incur
the displeasure of the reigning finan-
ciers, will support the government at
the expense of the five Communists.
The reactionary leaders, however,
are extremely anxious not to appear
in their true colors on the eve OF the
elections which are pending in France,
and in consequence some old polltl-
clans may be expected to vote for i'm
munity. Their is also some political
resentment among the politicians OF
the Chamber who feel that the gov
eminent has infringed their privileges
in demanding that the question of a
vote of immunity be construed into a
vote of confidence.
Marcel Cachin, leader of the French
Communist Party, Jacques Doriot,
Andre Marty and two other leaders
were imprisoned last year despite the
fact that under French law they are
immune to arrest as members of the
Chamber of Deputies.
If the Chamber votes against them
the Communists will be returned to
prison.

"(2) Those derived from contracts
closed before May l, 1917, by owners
of surface rights or parties under
contract to them for the express pur-
pose of oil exploration;
"(3) To those constructing pipe
lines and refineries under conces-
sions or authorizations issued by the
Department of Commerce, Industry
and Labor.
article XIV. Confirmation of rights
referred to in the preceding article
must be sought within one year
from publication of this law if such
rights have not already been the SUBJ
ject of confirmatory petitions.
"After one year these rights (rights
for which confirmation has not been
sought under the amended law will
be renounced and will be without eff
feet against the Mexican Govern
ment.
"Oil rights acquired by owners of
surface lands (before 1910 will be
confirmed without time limit.

the peasants of the land they re-

ROCKET CAR WRECKED
BY BLAST DURING TEST
New Effort of Opel to Make Speed
Record Ends When Ma
chine ExplodeS.


HANOVER, Germany, August A
new effort of Fritz Van Opel to estab-
lish a speed record with one of his
rocket cars on rails ended in failure to-
day when the car blew up.
Opel had two cars, the RAK " and
RAK v. in readiness. He expected to
develop some $50 to 800 miles an hour
Each car weighed about LOO pounds,
or twice the weight of an earlier model
The RAW " started with two rockets
alight and the other rockets were to be
ignited excessively at intervals Of a
few seconds Hardly had 200 yards
been covered when something went
wrong. Suddenly huge flame spurted
through the dense cloud Of smoke from
the rear the car and all the rockets
exploded together One wheel was found
in potato field 300 feet away
Opel expressed the belief that short
circuit caused the explosion, The cars
ran without any driver and no one was
injured,
