RUSSIAN GUARD
FIRES ON GRAF

LONDON, Sept. 10 G.N.SO.
Soviet frontier guards near Dvinsk
fired Is shots at the German Graf
Zeppelin, carrying a full crew and
20 passengers on a courtesy visit
to Moscow, when the airShip
crossed the Soviet border, accord
ing to an Exchange telegraph mes
sage from Riga.
Inasmuch as DR.. Hugo Eckener,
commander Of the Graf, made no
comment on the incident when he
reached Moscow today, it was be-
lieved that all the shots went wild.
The Soviet authorities took the
matter UP. however, and issued a
reprimand to the section chief of
the guards concerned. This Off
Ger replied that the guards had
instructions to fire on all foreign

CANADA SLATED
+. To RETAL|ATE
ON TARIFF
Dominion Is Agog as Bennett
Calls 1st Special Peacetime
Parliament to Boost Rates
BY GEORGE II. HOLMES
Copyright. 1880, International
News Service)

OTTAWA, Ontario, Sept. 10.
Canada, which for many years
has been Americas best Gus
toner, is about to take a leaf
from the American book and
jack up her tariff barriers.
Any doubt about this has been
diSpelled by developments at the
outset Of the special session of
the Canadian parliament. called
by the new Bennett government
in much the same fashion that
the special session Of the seventy.
first Congress was summoned by
the Hoover Administration l8
months ago.
Retaliation Slated
It is the first time that q spe-
ciaI session Of the Canadian par.
lament has ever been summoned
during peace, and excitement
and interest Is running high
throughout the dominion. The
Liberals are out Of power and
the Conservatives are in-Strong-
ly in-with a definite working
majority in the House Of Com
mons and q clear mandate to
proceed with those measures
which the Conservative leaders
deem necessary to rehabilitate
and protect Canadian interests.
Canadians decry the word IRE
taliation" as applied to their tar
iff intentions with regard to the
recently enacted Smoot- -Hawley
bill. Yet there is scarcely any
doubt that the plans Of the new
government to boost tariff rates
are designed to be just that. The
Canadians do not intend to Sit
supinely by and see everything
they sell to the United States
priced higher to the ultimate con-
sumner without taking some retalia-
tory action against American prod
ucts, even though the phrase IRE
taliatory" is Stunned and depre-
Gated on all sides.
Protection for Canada
As one prominent Canadian Of.
ficer put it.:
"YOur officials say that Amer
iCan industries have been built
up and fOstered through the
American policy Of protection.
"If that is true, the same pol
icy applied from our side Of the
border is calculated to protect
and foster Canadian industries.
Surely there can be mo COM
plaint. Protection on your side
Of the border surely cannot be
prejudice ON this side. We, too,
have industries"
What the effect will be, how.
ever, on the commercial inter
course between the two countries,
which last year reached the enor.
nous figure Of $1.368. 100000 In
trade. remain. 20 be seen. That
the new American .ariff rates will
give vast encouragement to the
trade within the British Empire"
movement is acknowledged on all
sides.

Guns Tested to Determine If
RecI1GSe Was Murder Victim

to the hermit-likel SwihaTt, is
called a Zulu" an ancient weapon
with a long barrel and large ham,
mer and firing pin.
1t was found alongside the body,
in the doorway of the farm home,
between the kitchen and the back
porch. The shot had been fired
from the back and blew most of the
head away, the shell being 12-
gauge and fired at close range.
The fired shell was in the Zulu
gun, but today's tests are expected
to reveal whether it had been fired
from that gun and, if so, whether
it would have been possible to COM
NIT suicide in such a manner with
so cumbersome a weapon.
Support Relatives Story
A second gun, being examined,
belongs to Roy Mcdonald, brother
in-law of Swihart. who lives on a
neighboring farm, and who, au-
thorities say, was working on the
Swihart place the day the killing
occurred.
It is a 12-gauge hammerleSs shot
gun and was found at the Mcdonald
home, as was also box of shells
of the type found in the Zulu gun.
Neighbors supported McDonald's
story of leaving the farm about $50
a. m. They declare that the fatal
shot was fired an hour and one-half
or two hours later.
The Swihart farm is about ten
miles from Lagrange and near the
village of Brighton. Swihart had
lived alone there for years, special
izing in raising seed corn and draft
horses. There were about twenty
horses on the place when Swihart
was shot, Huntington said.
Case Is ReOpened
Swihart also was reported to have
sold some corn and to have drawn
S125 from the bank. The money
and his pocketbook are missing.
Coroner John Cation of Lagrange
at first gave verdict of suicide,
but the case was reopened by Prose
cutor Ralph Foster of Lagrange and
Steuben counties, who enlisted the
aid of the criminal bureau and also
asked help from the office of Attor-
ney-General James M. Ogden.
If the ballistic tests disclose that
the shell was not fired from the
Zulu gun, an arrest on charge of
murder may result, Huntington pre-
dicted.

troit art school that was too

ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 26.-Opin-
ions by attorneys have convinced
Mayor J. H. Mellett that power Of
appointment Of a successor to the
late Judge Jesse G. Shuman of city
court rests with Governor Harry G..
Leslie and not with the mayor. AS
a result a Republican will be ap-
pointed to fill the unexpired term
of man who was elected to the
city court bench as a Democrat.
Maurice Robinson, former deputy
prosecuting attorney of Madison
county, and Conrad S. Arnkens,
Anderson attorney, are the leading
candidates for the appointment.
Judge Shuman assumed office

MisspeIIing in Letters Is
Noted by Cops, Results
in Confession.

By United Press
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 26.-Charles
Lenoard Duncan, %, was sentenced
today to two years and six months
in the penitentiary when he pleaded
guilty to attempted third degree rob-
berry in trying to extort $4,000 from
r. A. Long, nationally known lum-
Der man of Kansas City.
The youth was trapped Wednes-
day when Colonel Charles Edwards,
head of the civ crime commission,
and city detectives placed a decoy
package in the place designated in
notes received by Long, who was
threatened with death if the extor-
tionists demands were not met.
In two letters the lumberman was
ordered to toss $4,000 from his
automobile on a boulevard near his
home. A week ago the first trap
was laid. 1t failed. Wednesday
afternoon similar attempt was
made, and Duncan was arrested.
Handwriting Examined
Colonel Edwards, posing as the
lumberman and riding in the Long
automobile, tossed a package from
the window of the motor car at the
designated point. simultaneously
police cars converged on the spot.
Duncan was caught as he emerged
from the shadows of nearby build
ing.
Duncan denied any knowledge of
the plot and Lieutenant William G.
Gordan, a handwriting expert, was
called in.
He examined the two letters re-
ceived by Long. In both of them,
he discovered, street had been
spelled "streat," and curbing had
been spelled "curbon." Duncan was
ordered to write a sentence con-
tanning those two words. He mis-
spelled them in the same way
Sent Second Letter
Confronted with tnat evidence,
Duncan confessed. He said he pur-
posely had failed to appear the
first time the trap was set, because
he wished to see if any publicity
were given the scheme.
When information concerning the
note failed to reach the newspapers,
he said, he became convinced the
plan was safe, and sent the second
letter, which caused another trap to
be set.
The second letter, repeating the
death threat of the first, said:
Locks like you had rather give
your life than $4,000, so are writing
you this letter, but there will be no
more"
In the first note, Long had been
told:
IF you fail to do what you are
told, it will cause your. DEATH. SO I
thank you

REDS SUSPECTED OF
STARTING BANK RUNS

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Commu-
nists were accused by the state
banking department today of start
ing whispering" campaigns to un-
dermine public confidence in New
York banks.
Officials of the state banking de-
pa1tment claimed to have traced TO
Communist sources a run of nearly
1000 depositors ON bank last Sat-
urday. Prompt and energetic action
by the banking department checked
the Withdrawals.
Officials expressed the belief that
Communist money may have
financed the short-selling opera
tions in stock of the Chelsea Bank
and Trust Company prior to the
whispering campaign which pre-
cipitated heavy Withdrawals and
caused the bank to be closed.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Dec. 26.-
In one of the most unusual divorce
cases ever heard in an Evansville
court, Harold Smallenberger, Al,
seeks a decree against Mrs. Ruth
Smallenberger, 25, alleging that his
brother Clarence, 81, stole her af-
fections and is the father of her
l-year-old baby.
AS evidence that he is not the
father of the child, the elder broth
er offered a birth certificate issued
at Lafayette naming Clarence
Smallenberger as the parent. The
wife says the name was written on
the document through error of a
physician because Clarence was
with her at the time the baby was
born. The baby's christian name is
Clarence Frederick.
