JAIL REPORTER;
MADE TO TELL
NEWS SOURCE
Reveals Who Gave Him
Red FIogging' Story After
~ Hours in Cell.
By United Press

By United Press
DALLAS, Tex, March 13.-Ed-
mond M. Barr, Dallas Dispatch re-
porter, explained today that he OBJ
tanned his release from jail by re-
vealing the source of an exclusive
story because attorneys advised
him the information had not been
privileged.
Barr spent twenty-five hours in
jail for contempt of court in refus-
ing to tell where he got informa-
ton on the gang beating of two
Communists.
Norman Register, secretary to the
district attorney, told him of the
flogging, Barr said.
My attorney advised me I would
remain in Jail indefinitely until I
answered the question" the reporter
said. Il had refused to do so be-
cause I thought the information
was privileged.
Compelled to Answer
My attorney informs me that 1t
was not, and that I am compelled
to answer the questions. The man
who gave me the information had
full knowledge of these facts, and
Of the law"
Barr was released Immediately
after describing his part in the case,
and a 500 fine was revoked.
Register, summoned before the
grand jury, denied giving the in
formation. He left the courtroom
with Barr, however, and was quoted
as saying: That's all right, Eddie.
It had to come out sometime"
Abduction Was Reported
The story which led to the grand
jury investigation reported the alb
duction and beating Of G. j. Coder
and Lewis Hurst, young Communist
organizers.
George j. Papcun, secretary of
the Trade Unity League Of Texas,
Community organization, issued a
settlement that the league is con-
WINGED Cooler and Hurst were
logged and murdered in cold blood,
or are being held prisoners and are
being slowly tortured to death"
Papcun accused several officials
of responsibility for the beating and
demanded that they be charged with
murder.

home, although a Hindu, he had nc
extensive knowledge of the sacred
books Of his own religion.
But in his fathers house he had
met men. not only of his own faith,
but Moslen1s and ParSees.
Somebody gave him the Bible in
London He picked up the Old Tes-
lament, read through Genesis and
the rest put him to sleep.
He picked up the New Testament
and was wide awake. Jesus en-
thralled him. The Sermon on the
Mount went straight to his heart.
THIS reading was to bear fruit
4 in later years. He was to at
tempt to live what the sages OF his
own religion and what Jesus
preached. He was to be more Chris
tian than many who called them
selves so.
Having been admitted to the bar
in London, he returned to his home,
and for time was a briefiess bar
rister.
Then fate knocked at the door.
This was in 1893, when he was "a.
A firm of Indian merchants, who
did business in South Africa, had a
lawsuit down there involving
100000.
They wanted him to go there and
make himself useful. They would
pay his fare and his keep and in
addition $500. It was understood
that he would stay in South Africa
for a year.
It was not much Of Job and
not much in the way of remunera-
ton. But it was start. It was
something.
He went for a year. He was to
stay for twenty. He went to fight
a lawsuit. He stayed to fight the
cause of his brown brothers.

The value of this important safety factor has been

methods. Much pioneering work has been done in

in a few simple words.
Two pieces of plate glass, carefully ground and
polished, covered side with thin coating
of gelatne This coating is baked hard, sprayed with
liquid celluIod, and treated with solvent.
Then, between the two pieces of glass; like the middle
of sandwich is inserted layer of special celIuoid This
also has been treated with solvent.

DECLINE IN STOCK
MARKET RESUMES
Chief Liquidation Laid to
Foreign AcCount-Leaders
Off Sharply.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WALL STREET, NEW YORK, No
vember 27-Stocks were again freely
offered on the resumption of trading on
the Stock Exchange today and the mar
ket resumed its decline.
The principal liquidation during the
early hours was said to be for foreign
account, chiefly British and French.
Houses with international connections
sold standard stocks. practically all OF
the rails, and good many industrials.
This supply was too great to be alb
sorbed without substantial price con-
cessions and the railroad averages re-
acted into new low ground for the bear
market, with the induStrials not greatly
above their extreme lows.
New Lows Recorded.
Individual new lows in the railway
group were so numerous that they do
not need. to be itemiZed. An active
issue holding above its previous mini
mum price was an exception. AS a
rule, however, losses measured in points
were moderate. Union Pacific and
Atchison were down at one time S and
3a4 points, respectively, but these de-
clines were much greater than the
average.
There was no change in the railway
picture. Another batch of october
earnings statements came to hand and
revealed the usual decreases from the
same month year ago. Apparently
prices had not fully discounted pros
pected dividend cuts and omissions, for
New York Central, the directors of
which are scheduled to meet on
December 9, broke to a quotation
which in any ordinary market would
seem to have allowed for ceasing Of
the disbursement.
Opening Is Lower.
Prices opened lower.
United States Steel at 57A, was
down VI; American Can, at 70ss, was
off Il, and Westinghouse Electrical, at
Bass, was off 70. All these were at new
record low prices.
Developments today included an ir-
regular lower market in London, where
the copper shares, however, as well as
copper metal improved on news that
Belgium had accepted the copper cur
tailment proposals. There was an open
ing decline of 612 cents in pound Sterl-
ing here. Copper solo at Ga cents a
pound, a new historical low, following
the withdrawal of Phelps-Dodge from
the Copper Exporters, Inc. There was
also budget of unfavorable railroad
earnings statements.
New York Central broke rapidly to
33%, Pennsylvania touched 2412, and
Southern Pacific 35A. which were new
minimum price levels. With the ex-
ception of Endicott. which was up B
at 12%, coppers paid no attention In
initial dealings to London cables. In
the specialtieS, hns-Manville at 26A
off III, was the first to establish a new
low price.
American Telephone, at 1878, de-
clined rs. Consolidated Gas lost g
at 66R. Both Electric Power & Light
and International Telephone opened at
their previous low levels. North Amer
lean, at IS, dropped point. General
Motors was off a fraction at 24&: Du
Pont, at S. lost Is. Goodyear Tire &
Rubber broke IL to 2o15. Standard
Oil of New Jersey was off 4 at 321s,
as were Socony-Vacuum and Texas
Corporation.
