PREMIER, S.
TODAY, RESTS
IN SECLUSON
Macdonald Observes Natal
Day Quietly in His
Hotel Suite.
ISHBEL HAS SURPRISE
Statesman Fights Fatigue
Induced by ArduouS
Schedule.
BY JOSEPH GORDON


NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Ramsay
Macdonald today marked his birth.
day in luxurious hotel suite more
than 5000 miles away from I,ossie-
mouth where he was born So years
ago In fishing shack on the bleak
Scottish shore.
He apparently regarded his birth
day as unimportant; there was the
bigger business of working for world
peace to engroSS him. The prime
minister's daughter Ishbel had what
she called a surprise" for him, but
that was a family matter and
neither chose to reveal the nature
of their modest celebration.
Macdonald obviously was tired
from the round of dinners, recep-
tons, speeches and conferences,
which have been on his schedule
since he arrived here from England
a week ago Friday.
Fatigue Apparent
Today he was to have an oppor-
tunity to rest. His WEAKNESS was
apparent when he reached New
York from Washington, but it was
not until Friday hight that the ia
tigue crept into his resonant voice.
The prime minister already had
made three speeches during the day
before he arose at the banquet of
the council on foreign relations Fri
day night to make another address.
1t was the most lengthy one of the
day, filled with MacDonald's grace
full phrases and a renewed plea to
"enthrone peace all over the world.
Radio carried his message
throughout the United States and
across to England, where it was
broadcast.
Elihu Root, chairman at the din
ner, introduced Macdonald as one
who fought for peace with the
weapons of frank and open friend
ship"
Problem Not Simple
Macdonald emphasized that the
problem of moral and physical dis
armament was not a simple one.
"This is the problem of states
manship," he said. "On the one
hand you get your moral dis
armament. Sentiment is with you,
pity is with you, resolutions read
fair and sound we'll that are carried
unanimously. But the moment you
start to apply them for the purpose
of transferring the mentalities OF
peoples from a mentality security to
mentality of political security,
then the poor statesman is beset by
thousand and one exceedingly in
tricate problems.
obviously, the first step that can
be taken to prove our sincerity Is
that you and we say to each other,
We are beginning to get indifferent
as to our relative fighting forces.
What is the use of troubling about
something that never is going to be
used?"

1t will be Charley Root for
Chicago, and goodness only
knows who for Philadelphia.
Connie Mack, tasting the sting Of
defeat for the first time in the Sc
ries, was trying to think up another
OF those spectacular surprises such
as the one with which he crossed
the Cubs by sending Howard Ehmke
in to pitch the first game.
Foxx Is Baff1ed
The Mackmen did not show TO
advantage in their first appearance
before their own fans Friday. JIM
my Foxx, the versatile first baseman,
who was the hitting hero of the
games in Chicago, couldn't bat ball
out of the infield. AL Simmons went
hitleSs.
Jimmy Dykes, most popular OF
the whole lot with the Shibe park
fans, had the misfortune to con-
tribute the misplay which helped
along the three-rlm Chicago rally
in the sixth inning.
That rally was featured by timely
hits by Rogers Hornsby and XXI
Cuyler, who, in a measure, thus re-
deemed themselves for earlier errors
of omission.
Bush Big Star
But it vas the lion-hearted work
Of Guy Bush, the soft-spoken,
drawing MissisSippian, who pitched
himself and his ball club to victory
despite constant trouble, which was
most responsible for the Cubs first
victory of the series, which also was
the first achieved by a National
League contender in three successive
years Of World Series play.
Not only are the Cubs decidedly
better off automatically as a re-
suit of winning the third game. but
they should prove a vastly improved
ball club with the encouragement
they received from their victory.
The spell is broken. They have
proved that they are not destined
for any such devasting defeat as
overlook Pittsburgh in 1927 and the
st. Louis Cardinals in 1923. They
have fair chance of coming
through now to win the 1929 World
Series. If they go down, it won't
be with a coat of WhiteWaSh.

The story of the emorouS but

heavy blow at the defense of her

testimony of two other of Pantages

"Mr. Pantages told me-" said Miss
Russo, ''This is your story: Say
that Miss Pringle came into the

that she left alone. Three minutes

Now, Miss Russo, was that the
truth?" District Attorney Buron

girl.

voice. Mr.. Pantages showed her to

and got her after while. 1t seemed
like the screams came half-hour
after she left"
Miss Pringle, who had hoped to
obtain booking on the circuit, teSti-
fed last week that PantageS lured
her to the room to discuss business
and then made love to her and
conSummated an attack.
Roy Keene, assistant manager of
the theater, was required to tell the
hasty order given him by Pantages
to change about the furniture in

"A few minutes after Miss Pringle
screamed, Mr.. Pantages pointed to
a table in his upstairs Office and
told me to put it in the mezzanlne

Deputy Was Drunk in
Car Collision.
DEFENSE TALKS APPEAL

Elmer E. Petty, deputy sheriff and
Fifteenth ward Republican chair

verdict Friday after an hours DELHI
Grafton following trial.
Collins probably will pronounce

Attorneys for the deputy sheriff
said they may appeal the case to

Pleaded Not Guilty"
A Jury which heard evidence in
Petty's trial three weeks ago, failed
to reach a verdict after thirteen
hours elaboration, and was dis
charged. They were deadlocked at
an eleven to one vote for conviction.
Petty had pleaded not guilty to the
charges, steadfastly maintaining he
was "frdamed" by persons implicat-
ed, because he denied his RESPONSE
bility for the accident.
Petty was driving a deputy sher-
ifs car June when he crashed
into another car driven by John
Stack, 1864 Roache street, at Six
tenth street and Riverside drive,
damaging both cars.
Five states witnesses testified the
odor of liquor was strong on Petty'S
breath at the time, and that he de-
clined to be taken to a hospital be-
cause, he is alleged to have said:
ut would mean my job and would
hurt the Sheriff's office"
Intimidation Is Charged
Among defense witnesses who
testified Petty was not drunk when
he reported the accident to his SUI
periors, we're Sheriff George L.
Winkler, two newspaper reporters,
an indianapolis coal dealer and two
clerks in local furniture stores.
Prosecutor JudSon L. Stark. who,
with Chief Deputy Paul Rhoadar-
mer, conducted the states case,
charged at Petty's first trial that
attempts had been made to intimi-
date witnesses. At that time two
of the witnesses testified that they
had been told by anonymous per-
sons mot to be too hard on Petty.
Defense counsel, Earl Cox and
Harvey Graybill. attempted to show
that states witnesses lever linked
in a plot to get Petty's job" Judge
James A. Collins was trial judge in
the second trial.

RAIL UNION JOINS IN

Opposition to the election of Al

candidate for councilman from the
Third district, was expressed in a
resolution adopted by Eureka lodge,
No. II, of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Firemen and Enginemen.
Both Republican candidates are
opposed to their well known and
widely advertised antagonism" to
union labor and strong belief in the
American or "closed-to-union" shop
policy.
GlosSbrenner, the resolution de-
clared, has established this policy
in his own printing shop and has
advocated it, not only here, but
throughout the United States.
Garner also is opposed because OF
his friendliness TO utility interests
and his participation on the guess
ing committee Of the Chamber Of
Commerce which approved and
whitewashed the recent merger OF
electric utility companies in Indian
apolis."
