FURNITURE FASHIONS

So called Farmhouse" furniture that has something of the French Proven cial in it's line sand something of Colonial, English and Spanish country types, is popular with those who ap- preciate the quaint, informal, and digniied. It looks handmade-and therefore much more expensive than it actually is. It comes in all home furnishings from mirrors and lamps to the larger pieces.
 Chippendale furniture is another high style note for Fall. Of mahogany, it has classic air of elegance that makes fitting background for cur rent fashions of period influence. Blue and gold are it's perfect comple- ments - blue carpeting and gold damask covering, for instance. Chip pendale pieces show three different influences - Gothic, French and Oriental - and each is adaptable to the modern home.

PULPWOOD LET IN
Conflicting Data on Convict
Labor ReverSeS Decision
by Treasury.

BY the Associated Press.
Russian pulpwood valued at $4,500,-
900 will be permitted to enter the
United States under reversal Of the
Treasury decision which had placed an
embargo on such shipments on the
ground convict labor had entered into
its production.
After hearing evidence brought by the
Russian and American interests in
volved, Assistant Secretary Lowman Or
dered customs collectors to admit the
pulpwood. He announced the data on
which the exclusion had been ordered
was conflicting and inconclusive.'
Six shiploads of the pulp were in
American ports, ready to unload today,
A score more are on the seas or ready
to leave the Russian port of Archangel
The remainder has been contracted for
and ships are under charter.
Consignees Join Protest.
The pulp was sold by the Amtorg
Trading Corporation, Russian official
commerce agency, to the international
Paper Co.. the West Virginia Pulp &,
Paper Co. and the Racquet River Paper
Co. All these concerns joined with the
owners and charterers of the ships in
volved, in protesting the embargo.
At final hearing yesterday the pro-
testants entered denials that convict
labor had been used in producing the
pulp and argued the American paper
mills would be forced to close down
with consequent serious unemployment
If the supplies contracted for were
barred.
Policy Not Affected.

sian pulpwood. Lowman made clear, will
in no way alter the Treasury's deter
mination to enforce the tariff law pro-
visions barring foreign convict-made
products. Protests have been filed with

imported to the United States.

CAUSE OF FILIPlN0S
Senate Head at Manila Coming to

Supreme Effort"
BY the Associated Press.

MANILA, August manuel Quezon,
President of the Philippine Senate.
sailed for the United States today on
what he termed his supreme effort In
behalf of the Filipino people.
Quezon said he was going In quest
of a definite determination of the poll
tical status of the Philippines, and also
a declaration by the United States that
it was going to leave the islands within
a set period of years or was going to
stay indefinitely.
The Senate President believed such
a declaration would relieve business OF
the present uncertainty, permitting 1t
to learn what the future holds, and
to shape it's program accordingly.
Quezons undertaking was regarded by
many as perhaps his final gesture in the
field of statecraft which has held him
for so long. More than year ago he
submitted to treatment in a California
sanitarium. but the islands soon called
him. He has not been presiding over
the Senate, however. Senator Sergio
Osmena has been acting in Quezon's
place.

Probers Decline to Discuss
Nature of New Discovery
in Murder Mystery.
ATTORNEY FOR CAMPBELL
MAKES ATTACK ON CLOTH
Charles Henry Smith Declares
Whole Investigations Inspired
by Political Motives,

Startling new evidence in the murt.er
attention of District authorities, who
yesterday took over prosecution of the
case, it was learned today.
Meanwhile, Charles Henry Smith of
Alexandria, attorney for Herbert M
Campbell, attacked William C. Cloth,
commemorative attorney of Arlington
County, in amounting plans to oppose
vigorously the removal of his client to
Washington to face a grand jury in
vestigation on a new warrant charging
him with the murder of Miss Baker.
While investigators declined to dis
close the nature of the information just
obtained after questioning scores of ger
sons, it was intimated that it constituted
a strong link in evidence against Camp
bell.
Campbell remained in the Arlington
County Jail. He had not been ques-
toned since yesterday and indications
were that he would not be examined
again for some time. Annoyed by the
heat and worried by his predicament,
the prisoner is reported to have lost
more than 10 pounds since his in
generation almost two weeks ago.
THE whole investigation in Arlington
County has been inspired by political
motives and hopes of financial gain,
Mr.. Smith charged.
Expects to Block Transfer.
Cloth" he added has failed to I'M
cover a single iota of evidence against
Campbell yet he is trying desperately
to pin the murder on him"
Smith predicted he would be able to
block the removal of Campbell TO
Washington because the warrant on
which he is expected to be rearreSted
could not be supported with evidence
to prove the crime was committed In
Washington.
Cloth revealed he would ask that the
charge against Campbell be nolle
pressed Monday morning when the de-
PENDANT is arraigned before Judge Wal
ter T. Mccarthy in Circuit Court in
Arlington County He said Campbell
then would be taken into custody by a
deputy United States marshal on
murder warrant sworn out yesterday
before United States Commissioner
Needham c. Turnage by William H.
Collins, assistant district attorney.
This step would necessitate re-
mOVal nearing before Barton fnHHpS
United States commissioner, with offices
in Alexandria. Should Phillips order
the removal OF Campbell, Smith threat
ened to carry the case to the United
States District Court at Norfolk, Va.
Regarded Easy Matter.
Don't you worry" Mr.. Collins de-
clared today. Wen have Campbell
brought to the District, indicted and
placed on trial in the District Supreme
Court. All we must prove to do this
is that he is the man named in the
warrant, that he is the man sub
stantially charged with the crime and
that he is fugitive from justice. That
will be an easy matter"
The decision to seek to bring Camp
bell to Washington was reached yester-
day after a conference between Cloth,
Collins and Lieut. Edward j. Kelly.
The meeting was called even before
Smith filed a petition in the Arlington
Circuit Court demanding the release of
his client on writ of habeas corpus.
A hearing on the petition was set for
10 am. Monday

EX-BANKER MAY BE SENT
BACK TO FRANCE BY SPAIN
Former Executive, Accused OF
100000 Shortage, Now in
Foreign Legion.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, August 2 (49.-A tradition
of the Foreign Legion probably will be
violated In the case of Laureano Carlos
de Villanueva, bank executive, who,
after vanishing July from the Paris
branch with a shortage of $500 900 in
personal accounts, now faces extradition
from Morocco to confront his accusers.
A French petition for the extradition
of Villanueva, who enlisted in the Span
ish Foreign Legion as Alexandra Avail,
today was received at the Spanish min
istry Of state, and officials expressed the
belief that the bankers extradition
would be permitted under treaties be-
tween the two countries.
Government officials expressed the
opinion that had Villanueva himself
concealed his identity during his enlist
ment he would have been left immune
under the precedents of the legion.
They said, however, that in using the
name Of Carlos Villanueva in letters to
friends in France he was considered to
have renowned the protection of the
legion.

VIENNA, August 2-The fate of
about 10000 married couples in Aus

The Constitutional Court found that
it was incompetent to arbitrate the
dispute between the political authorities
and the law courts which would define
the status of marriages made with the
aid of civil diSpensations. The court
said that inasmuch as the ordinary law
courts had declared these dispensation
marriages Illegal all such marriages
in the future will be regarded as legal
only until challenged by a former wife
or husband of one OF the parties to the
new marriage.
