Leslie Is Adamant

A statement denying clemency,
prepared by Governor Harry G.
Leslie before he left for Florida last
Saturday, was released late Thurs
day at the Governors office when
Gaylord S. Morton, assistant Secre-
tary to Leslie, failed to receive any
further word from the chief execu-
tive.
Because the Governor had de-
parted with the impression BrittS
execution would not take place un-
til after midnight tonight, concern
was felt at the statehouse that Les
lie might grant the reprieve too late.
BIRTHS execution, it was found, had
to be before sunrise this morning.
BY Withholding Leslie's denial of
communication, Morton lent encour-
agement to last-minute hopes the
reprieve might be granted, and I'M
Willingly permitted the Governor to
become the target for criticism be-
cause OF his silence.
The speed with which Britt's exc
cution was carried out, in contrast
with 101 murder convictions in In
diana in 1928 without single exc
cutlon, encouraged the belief Leslie
might commute Britt's sentence.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, March u.
Confident to the last he would re-
ceive a reprieve from Governor
Harry G. Leslie. James Britt, 43
East Chicago Negro slayer, was cleo
trocuted in Indiana state prison at
1908 this morning.
Britt's execution was the first in
Indiana since April 10, 1923, when
John Hall paid with his life for the
murder of Louis Kreidler, South
Bend druggist. Britt had not ap-
pealed from conviction, Jan. 6, of
the murder of Sam Goldberg. East
Chicago grocer, who gave federal
grand jury testimony on crime and
political corruption in Lake county.
Led from his cell in death row by
the Rev. Aaron Wood, prison chap
lain, Britt submitted resignedly to
the straps and electrodes. At 1908
the prison lights f1ickered as the
current pulsed through his body. At
1910, he was pronounced dead.
Britt died without seeing his wife
and small child. None of his rela-
tives witnessed the execution and
today none had asked the cutsody of
the body.
Two men remain in death row.
They are Dreyfus Rhodes, sentenced
to die July IL, who is awaiting SUI
prene court action on his third ap-
peal from the death sentence, and
Ulysses Mack, giant Gary Negro,
sentenced to die Oct. II.

DRYS TO Wink
At MAKING OF
brew IN HOME
Candidates for Congress
Willing to Concede
Point for Votes.
FOLLOW LEAD OF FORT
Norris and Others Swing
Away From Stand of
Extreme Aridity.

By Scripps-Hoodrd Newspaper AlHGnce
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The
Importance prohibition Is assuming
as a 1880 campaign issue was re-
vealed today, when it was learned
that many dryS in congress will run
for reelection on a platform favor
ing the Interpretation that the
eighteenth amendment was not in
tended to prevent manufacture and
consumption of beer and wine for
home use.
Though few drys are willing to
admit their change of heart so early
in the political season, it is known
that many have decided to adopt
the viewpoint recently advanced in
the house by Representative Frank
lin Fort of New Jersey, former Sec
rotary of the G. o. p. national COM
mittee and close friend of President
Hoover.
Fort urged the drys to drop their
activities against personal use of
homemade liquor, and devote their
attention to determination of the
anti-social liquor traffic alone.
Norris Swings Over
This view has taken hold among
prominent dryS, including Senator
George w. Norris of Nebraska, and
is said to be shared by the Pres
ident'S law enforcement commission.
In fact, Forts pronouncement led
many to conclude he was expressing
the Presidents idea, even though
the White House issued a statement
to the effect that Fort was speaking
only for himself.
When Wickersham began to
discuss this question at his recent
appearance before the senate
judiciary committee, Chairman
Norris stopped him, with the warn
ing that the committee was not
interested.
Wickersham eventually agreed
with the Nebraskans contention
that home brew and wine-making
was outside the jurisdiction of the
eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act.
Prohibition Commissioner j. M.
Doran, in commenting on this
theory, admitted the practical policy
of enforcement was to wink at per-
Sonal manufacture and use.
Must Have Sale Evidence
He pointed out that a search war;
rant can not be obtained except on
evidence of sale, and this can not
be obtained against an individual
who confines his alcoholic adven-
lures to his cellar and his living
room. So the drys will have plenty
Of arguments to support their
home brew" planks.
Magazine and newspaper polls
have shown sentiment for repeal
and modification to predominant in
many dry districts. The vets have
inaugurated a policy Of opposing
extreme drys and forcing them to
take a definite stand on the pro-
hibition question.
Many members Of congress have
been able to hold their seats with
out expressing themselves concrete
ly on this issue, but the agitation
stirred up since Hoover took Office
has, in numerous cases, forced a
clear cut decision by men hitherto
eVaSiVe.

BRITISH KING
TAKES HAND IN
NAVAL PARLEY
Macdonald Goes to Palace
After Talk With u. S.,
Japan Delegates.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
United Press staff Correspondent

LONDON, March 21.-An i'm
portant discussion of the naval con-
ference situation was held today by
Premier j. Ramsay Macdonald with
the chief delegates Of the United
States and Japan.
Macdonald was received by King
George at Buckingham palace i'm
mediately after the discussions at
No. 10 Downing street, where the
premier had received the American
and japanese delegates separately.
Some quarters believed the de-
velopments foreshadowed important
three-power negotiations.
If such is the case, it would be the
first time King George has taken
an active part in the conference
except for presiding at the formal
opening-when he called on the
world for peace and disarmament
and later when he received the con-
ference delegates formally.
Suggestions Offered
The discussions, viewed in the
light of many reports that three
power accord would be sought if the
five-power conference fails, were
emphasized by revelation of futile
last-minute efforts to prevent the
departure of Foreign Minister Aris-
tide BRAND for Paris.
Brands decision to leave London
Thursday at a moment when the
conference was in a serious dead
lock came after previously undis-
closed visit to a high British Off
cial.
The British official was under
stood to have submitted to the
French foreign minister suggestions
for altering the French tonnage fig
ures and thus opening the way for
reconciliation of the French and
italian views.
Speculate on End
BRAND was said to have listened
to the suggestions without COM
ment. Then he rose suddenly and
remarked:
L am going.
Meanwhile. the headquarters of
the American delegation was the
scene Of much excited speculation
about when the conference would
end.
Most conversation centered on
the possibility that the delegation
would depart about April IA. Type
writer's and equipment are being
checked and officials have asked
Stenographers how much time they
desire OF the continent.
