French Prime Minister Is
Cheered at lie HaVre as
He EmbarkS.

By United Press
LIE HAVRE, France, Oct. 16.-
Premier Pierre Laval and his party
sailed for New York at 1910 p. m.
today aboard the liner lie de France.
The premier was accompanied to
LIE Havre by United States Ambas-
sador Walter E. Edge. Both adj
dressed meeting at the town hall.
LIE Havre turned out en- masse to
bid Godspeed to the premier On his
important mission of international
understanding. Laval is the first
French premier to visit America
while in active Office.
Laval was in his usual good spirits
and smiled continually. His ever
present white necktie was slightly
awry, as usual. Obviously, he looked
forward to the trip as much as any
member of his party.
Daughter in Beech Grove
II am a peasant, and peasants
never have troubles" the premier
said to friends who escorted him TO
the gangplank.
Josette LavaPs enthusiasm for the
trip was not dampened by the fact
that her father did not allow her to
travel with the official party from
Paris. When Laval consented to let
his daughter make the trip, he Stip-
uIated that she remain in the back
ground.
The premier made no farewell
statement except that he was going
to America without any definite
schemes of debt reform or arms lin
itation to offer President Hoover.
He reiterated previous statements
that his voyage was intended to al
low frank discussion of the French
position on the two great problems,
but it was expected in advance that
the only result could be a better
understanding no definite agree
mentS being sought or expected.
Rise Is Spectacular
The departure for Washington as
the head of the government of an
outstanding European power CHI
NAKED the romantic rise of a one
time village butcher boy who read
Greek classics while delivering rib
roaStS.
Laval. now 48 years old, has risen
to political power in less than a
year. 1t was only last January that
he was called to a position of
prominence when the Tardieu cabi-
net was wrecked on the shoals of
shady finance.
The premier is an Auvergnat from
the highlands of central France,
trained and raised in Normandy. He
has ali the qualities of both races
the stubborn, deliberate argumenta-
tiveness of the highlanders and the
thrift, good humor, and keen bat
tering skill of the Norman.

KIRKLAND TRIAL
PROBE OPENED
Attorney General Acts on
Jurors Statements.

Attorney-G General James M. Og-
den today launched a probe of the
trial of Virgil Kirkland, convicted
gin party slayer of Arlene braves,
after receiving copies of statements
OF eleven jurors in the case.
Ogden'S action follows disclosures
that ten of the jurors believed that
their verdict would sentence Kirk
land to life imprisonment and that
the eleventh believed the Gary high
school youth would be given SEN
tence of forty years.
A twelfth juror refused to be in
terviewed. Kirkland was sentenced
to serve two to twenty-one years in
Indiana state prison.
Enclosed with statements of iu-
rorS, obtained by M. S. Halstead,
investigator, was a letter received by
HalStead from C. j. Zich, executive
secretary of the National Associa-
ton of Coroners, in which Zich
charged the result of Kirkland's
second trial was the outgrowth of a
conspiracy by outside forces"
Ogden also received copies of a
petition bearing signatures of $500
Gary citizens, demanding a retrial
of Kirkland.

TOU. S. JURY
Federal Prosecutor Makes
Fiery Appeal as Case
NearS Its End.
GANG DESPOT AT EASE
Refuses to Be introduced to
Great Actress, but
WinkS at Her.
BY RAY BLACK
United Press STAFF Correspondent

FEDERAL BUILDING, CH1CA-
GO, Oct. 16.-"Water, water every
where - but not drop to drink
Money, money everywhere-but not
a cent for taxeS!"
That was part of the closing ar
gument hurled today at federal
court jury by Samuel ClawSon, as
siStant United States district attor-
ney, in the trial of Al Capone, gang
despot.
The governments picture of Ca
pone as a likeness to the Ancient
Mariner" almost was complete and
the close of his income tax fraud
trial in federal district court was
only a matter of hours.
Clawson was followed by defense
attorney Albert Fink, whose final
argument to the jury was expected
to require most Of the day.
Capone is Released
Capone, in a dark green suit,
seemed relaxed after the strain of
listening to testimony about his pri-
vate life and his lavish expenditures
and heavy gambling losses for nine
days.
The government" said Clawson,
was perfectly fair to Capone. He
was put up squarely against the
proposition of speaking or remain
ing quiet. He understood that if
he said anything about his income
it would be at his own peril. But he
did not speak. He must go to
prison."
The contempt of court case
against Phil Andrea, Capone's body
guard, who was arrested for carry
ing a concealed revolver into the
courtroom, again was postponed to-
day.
Federal Judge James H. Wilker-
son sent D'Andrea back to Jail and
said his case would be heard Mon
day morning.
First Remark Is Query
Fink's first remark to the jury
was a question::
"Will you find the defendant
guilty just to please and appease
public clamor?" he asked.
A second question was: "Is there
any evidence that approaches the
dignity of hearsay indicating the
defendants guilt?"
The case came to conclusion rap
idly Thursday. Eight former book
maker pals of Capone testified that
he lost a total of $375,00O playing
the ponies"
At noon exactly, Defense Attorney
Michael Ahern interrupted COM
plicated legal argument to say that
the defense had rested its case. Few
in the courtroom comprehended
that Capone's unique defense that
he had lost all his money betting on
horses that never won, was COM
pleted.
Winks at Beatrice Lille
Capone's slight of lady Peel of
England, known here as Beatrice
Lille, actress, was one of the
features of Thursdays scenes. She
sought to meet him. He refused.
Who is that guy with her?" the
gangSter asked.
That's her manager" he was
told.
Il thought he was bootlegger,"
Capone explained and winked at the
actress. She winked back.
Capone yawned as his attorneys
argued the complicated legal issues
that may decide whether he goes to
the penitentiary for maximum of
thirty-two years and pays $4,000 in
fines.

STATE TO ASK
new BIDS ON
GAS AND OIL
Standards Hardness of 10
Minutes One Reason for
ReadvertiSing.
COMPETITORS COMPLAIN
Practice of Coupling Prices
on 100000 Contract
Called Unfair.

Because the Standard Oil Com
pany, longtime holder on state
highway department gasoline and
oil contracts, was charged with be-
ing late Wednesday with it's bid is
one reason why the 100000 annual
supply of highway department gas
and oil will be readvertiSed.
This was learned at the state
highway department today, when it
was announced by Director John J.
Brown that the state highway COM
missioners had decided to receive
new bids.
The decision to readvertise was
made at commission meeting at
Richmond, Thursday, where mem
berS were attending road cele-
bration.
Loss of Pumps Faced
Should the commission fail to
award the contract to Standard it
would mean that the highway de-
partment would lose the use of
about $50 gas pumps belonging to
that concern, it was said.
Late reception of Standards bid
was explained as accidental" Rep
resentativeS of the company had
been told the bids would be opened
at the statehouse, and went there
instead of filing the bid with the
commission at the Statehouse annex
Offices first, it was said. This made
them about ten minutes late on the
2 p. m. deadline and their bid was
challenged by competitor.
Other errors which built up the
decision to readvertise was the sub
mission of grease substitutions,
other than specified, through mis-
Interpretation of the advertisement,
and failure of most of the ten COM
panieS bidding to submit sample
oils, it was said.
Joint Bids Protested
Standard has been able to offer
unusual delivery services and pro-
vide such favors as the use of old
pumps, defenders of the commission
contracts declare.
But the company has benefited
by joining its gasoline and oil bids
in such way that it must get both
the gas and Oil business before the
state can have the lowest gas price.
Oil and grease bidders have pro-
tested in vain against this system
of bidding as unfair.
Ralph Simpson, assistant director,
declared today it was hoped the
commission would be able to get
fair price upon readvertising and at
the same time separate the gasoline
and oils.
Date for the new bids was not an
nounced.

JAPAN DECLARED BENT
ON WORLD DOMINATION
Senator Robinson Expresses Views
in KOkOmO Address.

III EAOAOAAU
By United Press
KOKOMO, Ind, Oct. 16.-A show
down between China, Japan and
Russia was predicted by Senator
Arthur E. Robinson in an address
here. Robinson recently returned
from the Orient, where he studied
economic conditions.
Despite Japan'S statements to the
contrary, Robinson said, the real
reason for her attack in. Manchuria
is cher ambitious program Of land
grabbing and exploitation, in keep
ing with an avowed determination
to rule the world"
Robinson believed the center of
dispute lay in Mukden. Here the
three powers converge, he said, with
Russia claiming the great railroad
which traverses Aanchuria because
she built it, Japanese claiming it
because of conquest, and China
claiming it by right of sovereignty"
Robinson also charged that Japan
broke the Kellogg peace pact when
it bombed Manchurian cities.
