ISSUE
UP At TRIAL
nv HENRY LESESNE

CHARLOTTE, S. c., Oct. II u.N.S).
Sensational developments within the
next "a hours were predicted today
in the Aderholt murder trial as the
State prepared to bring to the sur
face divergent undercurrents or re-
llgious and political conflict.
1t may be today, or it may be to-
morrow, but certainly before the
trial of the seven radical labor or
ganizers for the murder Of Police
Chief c. F.. Aderholt progresses
much further, Judge NJ. V. Barnhill
will decide ultimately whether the
issue of communism and ATHEISM
are to be brought into the procedure.
In past sta ges OF the trial Judge
Barnhill has intimated he intends to
exclude extraneous issues from the
proceedings, but the state has
brough up the question again. deslr-

cause of their purported communls'

ness, yesterday, but the defense en-
tered a staccato objection.
I'm afraid too long silence might
indicate our consent to Your Honor $
ruling" said Cansler, evidently pre-
parinG for an argument.
But as the witness about this time
answered negatively question as
to whether or not he belonged to the
communist party. the States attorney
intimated he would not press the
point until there was another occa'

After Dr.. Ballard had
been comforting with John
E. Laskey, special assistant
to the Attorney General,
and J. Edgar Hoover, head
of the division of criminal
investigation, for about an
hour the department sud-
denly came to life, and one
after another agents were
shot out to different parts
of the city.
Despite the wall of secrecy
which has been built around
the investigation by justice
agents it was plain that some
startling information had been
given investigators by DR.. Bal
lard.
Shortly after noon, Martha Berry.
the nurse who was an intimate
friend of Mrs. Mcpherson. and who
told the police Of former attempts
on the part of Mrs. Mcpherson to
commit suicide, was brought into
the office OF the investigators. She
was ushered into q room adjoining
the room where DR.. Ballard was
being questioned.
Preceding DR.. Ballard was Mrs.
Ethel Schuttler, of the Park Lane
Apartments. She declined to dis
cuss what she had told the 1nvesti'
gators.
All inquiries in regard to the sx-
humation of the body OF the dead
nurse of China Grove, N. c., were
answered neither affirrnatiVely nor
negatively by those in charge OF
the case.
Dissatisfied with the report Of the
District Coroner, made following the
autopsy Of the body of Mrs. Virginia
Mcpherson, agents Of the Depart
ment of Justice will today exhuns
the body of the slain girl and turn
it over to Government patholog7sts

to determine If there is any trace
of drugs will be made and a close
study will also be made to determine
if possible, how she came by the
bruises found on her body.
Permission to exhume the body
was given by A. n. Hurley, father
of the dead girl. He stated last
night that he will not be present
when his daughters body is removed
from the grave at China Grove, n.

The handicap of three defeats
would be too great to overcome and
for that cause one suspects Marse
Joe will employ Charley Root AS his
starting pitcher.
Root is by far the steadjeSt of the
Cubs Fingers. He is not prone to
explode. he has control and stuff.
He failed to receive a great deal IF
credit on opening day because of
the extraordinary efforts of Howard
Ehmke.
This afternoon it most likely will
be Root VS.. Jack Quinn. If the
venerable spit balIer runs into
trouble Grove probably will be
rushed from the bull pen. Connie
Mack is cognizant Of the convent
cnce OF having three victories be-
meath the belt.
Quinn, for your information, be-
gan pitching baseball in 1908. when
he broke in at COnnellsyille in the
PENNSYLVANIA State League, and it
was IS years later that he served
in a world series when he hurled
four innings for the Yankees against
the Giants and was charged with
defeat.

International News SeryIcn

The power of the Federal
Government to censor litera-
ture, to bar the ancient classics
and to exclude works Of art
all because some minor official
deems them obscene-will be
tested in the Senate today by
a vote on the Cutting proposal
to strip the customs service Of
all censoring authority.
Senator Bronson Cutting Rl of
n. NJ, a Harvard graduate, a phil
ologist and scholar, aroused the
stafd old Senate by proposing a ban
on all censorship Through an amend
ment to the pending tariff bill. All
debate on rates and tariff affairs
was sidetracked while the Senate in

noyed by the trend of debate, since

HAVE KIDNEYS EXAMINED BY
 YOUR DOCTOR
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys if Back Pains You or
 Bladder B0thers

Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted au- thority. who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to eIpel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours. tongue is coat d. and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy. full of sediment. the channels often get sore and irritated, o'illging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To help neutralize these irritating acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice combin- cd with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system SO they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness.
