Judge ConViCtS Men Who Col

WARNS FUTURE OFFENDERS
Nokiec and Bobrowsl1i. Who Took Money for Transporting Youthful
 Job Seekers to Bloomfield. Pay S10 Each-One Claims Ignorance.

Judge M, D. Saxe in police court today made a finding of guilty in two cases of violation Of the motor vehicle laws under the section re- quiring operators and owners of public service vehicles to have spe- cial licenses and registrations and sounded q warning that future vio- lators would be dealt with severely. He fined Sczepan Nokiec, 52. Of II Beatty street. and Anthony Dobrow- ski, 20, of 173 Beaver street, $10 and costs zach on one count sus- pending judgment on the second.
 Nokiec, represented by Attorney B. J, Monkiewicz, contended that he vas asked by Michael Uchalik of 179 Beaver street to convey a group of girls to the tobacco fields in Bloomfield, where they expected to find employment last Saturday, and, as he was going there to see his three children, he was willing to take them provided they paid fifty cents each for gasoline and oil. He bought five gallons of gasoline and t~o quarts of oil for kt.4S before leaving New Britain, and in Granby he made the same purchase, which left him four cents of the three dol lars the girls paid him.
 Denies Girls Testimony
 Although the girls claimed that Nokiec warned them 10 tell any po- olo the road that they, were being given a fre ride to picnic, he denied it, and as only two of the six had been ! called to testify, Nokiec asked Judgo SaXe to require all of them to testify under oath and hear his denial.
 Attorney Monkiewicz contended that Nokiec was within his rights when he charged the group some thing for the expenses of the trip and said there was a recent court decision which permitted motorists and others to collect by civil action agreeing to pay the expenses of trips from one place to another. Judge Saxe, however, took the view that Nokiec collected the money as fare and held the warning to the girls not to tell policeman they had paid was an evidence of his guilt
 Claims Ignorance of Fare
 Bobrowski admitted that he drove group of boys to Bloomfield last Saturday but did not know until he returned to New Britain that they had paid his mother fifty cents each.

Defense Vessels Finally Completed Despite Unique Handicap - Vir- tual Anarchy Reigns in Several Provinces.

Washington. August JPl - A shortage of umbrellas and an over- supply of rain in Shanghai in 1927, was disclosed today as a near cause of far greater difficulties for Amer jeans in China than they now face. !
 If the shortage of umbrellas had not been relieved in time, naval of ficers believe, several of the Ameri- can gunboats which loom large in the protection of foreigners during these disturbed times. would not now be in service.
 Exposed to Rain
 Six of the gunboats were under construction in Shanghai when the Cantonese drove the northern forces out of Shanghai in 1927. Then the usual April showers began. the Cantonese confiscated all umbrel- las and sent them to the Ranking soldiers. The gunboat builders were left exposed 10 the rain.

Chosen for Duty
 Glamis, Scotland, Aug. 2 tP}-The mill boy who became His Majesty's secretary of state for home affairs, J. R. Clynes. will soon come here to be present at the birth of the baby expected by the Duchess of York early this month.
 This is in accordance with the ancient British law which decrees that the birth of possible heir to the throne must be attested by 8 secretary of state.
 Mir. Clynes will carry out this state duty in the same manner in which the birth of the Prince of Wales was attested by the late Lord Asquith.
 Asquith sat behind a screen In Queen Mary's room. At that time she was Duchess of York. The Princess of Wales, who later be- came Queen Alexandra, was with Asquith. When the present dashing young crown prince was korn, the Princess of Wales, wearing 3 blue dressing gown, carried the infant in her arms and showed him to As quith The home secretary then went back and reported the historical fact to his government and the royal birth was duly registered.
 A special room in Glamis castle has been reserved for MT. Clynes and he will be the guest of the Duke and Duchess of York, ! Should the expected infant be q boy he will be third in line, after 1 the Prince of Wales and Duke of ! York, for the crown. displacing his sister Princess Elizabeth. In this connection, it is interesting to note that while no salic law ap- plies to royal succession in England, the daughters in royal families must always take a subordinate position to the sons.
 The succession to the British throne at the moment stands as fol- lows:
 The Prince of Wales, the Duke of York. Princess Elizabeth, the Duke of Gloucester. Prince George, Prin- cess Mary, Lord LasCelles. The right of each of these is dependent on there being no issue with prior claim for his or her immediate predeces- sor on the list.
 Princess to Lose Place
 Thus if the expected child of the Duchess of York is a boy 1t will automatically cause Princess Eliza beth 10 give way on the list, al- though Princess Elizabeth's claim would still precede those of her uncles, the Duke of Gloucester and Prince George and her aunt, Prin- cess Mary.
 Princess Mary, although the child of the King and Queen, stands sixth on the list of royal succession and will soon be seventh. In the ordinary course of events she must expect to be placed even more remotely in succession.

Washington. Aug. 2 CP}-Coordi- mated effort to remove influences which are depriving thousands of Americans of the advantages of home ownership was set in motion today at the direction of President Hoover.
 Privately financed. and with it's studies directed at coordinating anI stimulating private effort, rather than seeking relief through legisla- ton, a national conference on home ownership and building has been called by the president. A score of associations representing the ma jority of the interests touching on the problem were invited to detail their chiefs as members of a plan ming committee which will make up the conferences program.
 Financing Plans Bad
 Mir Hoover pointed out that finan- cling conditions surrounding home building have been extremely bad and are particularly in need of ad- justment but this, he said would be only one phase of the confer ence's work.
 Greater comfort and reduction in cost of construction in many parts of the country through improved design. the better layout of residen- tial areas are all of first import ance,' the president said.

Bogdanov Says s7QoOO,oOo Expen- ditures of His Nation Thus Far This Year Will Be Lost Unless Prosecution" Stops.

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. P)- Continued circulation of "baseless" charges against the Amtorg Trading corporation and of unsatisfactory" financing of Soviet trade operations in America will result in reduction of Soviet purchases in this country which amounted to more than $7O,- 000,00o during the first three quar- ters of the current year, Peter A. Bogdanov. chairman of Amtorg Trading corporation. said today.
 MT. Bogdanov, whose organization was recently the subject of investi- gation by house committee on charges of smuggling and spreading communist propaganda in the Unit ed States, addressed the Russian conference of the institute of poll- tics.
 Calls Charges "Absurd'
 Speaking in halting English, he characterized as 'absurd' the charges of communistic propaganda activities made against the Amtorg Trading corporation by Grover Whalen, former police commission CT of New York, and Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Fed eration of Labor.
 Our trade with the United States has been characterized by a steady increase" he said, however, the basic conditions for the increase of our purchases in this country arc the expansion of credits by firms and banks and the increase of the Soviet exports to the United States. American banks on the whole have been backward in the long term financing of purchases for the So- viet union. The Soviet union ex- poets credits in such amounts and upon such terms as are now being granted by European countries. which are far more favorable than those granted in the United States.
 Another important factor in the contraction of credits and financial facilities extended to us here has been undoubtedly a certain lack of conhdence created by the many baseless rumors regarding economic conditions in the Soviet union and the recent unwarranted attacks on the Amtorg. It is hardly necessary for me 10 take up any of your time to point out the absurdity of the ac- cusations made by Messrs Whalen. Woll and others. However, there is no question that the very fact that

SALT LAKE CITY, November a.
A story of a thrilling fight with fog
over the Wasatch Mountains, with q
breath-taking tailspin from height Of
$4,000 feet, out of which he righted his
plane near the ground, was related to-
day by Lieut.. Clarence P. Talbot, COM
mander of the 329th Observation

Flying to Salt Lake City from Den
yer, Talbot became lost in a heavy fog
and climbed to a 14,000-foot elevation
to get over Mount Timpanogos, one of
the highest peaks in the range when
neared the Timpanogos the plane
went into spin," he said. II made an
attempt to jump, but the centrifugal
force Of the spinning plane glued me in
the seat so couldn't move. After Drop
ping about 10000 feet the fog thinned
and I saw the side Of Mount Timpa-
nogos flashing past.
II thought 1t was the last, and

Strengthened out the ship when it was
almost to the ground"
When Lieut.. Talbot reached the air
port here, he found he had but three
gallons of gasoline left in his tank

VIOLIN AND PIANO RECITAL.

A SMALL but appreciative audience
"A greeted the appearance last night,
in joint recital, of Emanuel Zetlin, in
ternationally famed violinist, and Henry
S. Gregor, American composer, at
Pierce Hall, Fifteenth and Harvard
streets.
A short, unhackneyed program was
presented by both soloistS with an in
tensifying love of the artistic that was
communicated to the listeners, who
signified their approval with storm after
storm Of applause.
In the rendition of the first move
ment Of Brahms Sonata in A Major
Mr.. Zetlin seemed to be a trifle nerV-
Gus, although this soon disappeared,
and in the playing of the last two
movements, "Andante tranquillo'' and
"Allegretto grazioso,"- he had reached
the stage Of near perfection that was
to mark his presentations the remain
der of the evening"
If at times his playing seemed me-
chanical, perhaps through habit, 1t
must be said that his music reached
into the depths of ones soul and re-
manned there. For every note that
sprang from this sweet-toned instru-
ment was wrested from within the very
depths of its author, and in this fact
lay a tremendous appeal. Dvorak's
composition, "Slavonic Dance in e Mi
nor" with special arrangement for the
violin by KreiSler, was q striking illus
tration Of this appeal. At the conclu-
sion of this group he rendered an en-
core, Caprice Viennois."
Mr.. Gregor offered two of his own
compositions, "Dogwood in Bloom" and
Omaha Hunting Song" Mr.. Gregor's
playing was at times wooden" but
very acceptable, even for the concert
stage He has a tendency to overuse
the pedal, producing a cloudy effect on
some of his crescendos. He proved him
self an expert in the handling of his
fingers, working from the wrist and
forearm.
