OPENS TODAY

Jacob B. Shapiro, president OF
the Joseph Shapiro Realty Com
pany, went on trial in Criminal
Court today on 12-count indict-
ment charging him with use OF
the mails to defraud in connec-
ton with the sale of property
encumbered with hidden trusts"
A jury of eight men and four
women was quickly impaneled
after the Government announced
content with the first IL jurors
placed in the box and the de-
tense used only five challenges.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John j. Fihelly, the prose
cutor, made the opening state
ment to the jury, describing the
case, in which he said that Sha-
piro sold many houses to pur-
chasers without telling them of
hidden trusts.
Attorney Alvin L. Newmyer
counsel for the realtor, in his
statement denied his clinet's guilt
and declared that there was no
fraud perpetrated nor was there
any intent to defraud.

BOSTON, June 10 G.NSD.-In-
vestigation of the mysterious
death of Miss Starr Wyman
Faithful, 25-year-old heiress, whose
body was found on the sand at
Long Beach. L. l., suddenly came
to an apparent dead end" here
this afternoon.
Rushing here from New York,
District Attorney Elvin N. Ed
wards, of Nassau county, and
Police Inspector Harold r. Ed
wards sent out hurried call for
a Boston politician and an in
fluential business man."
There was great secrecy at
police headquarters conferences
and threats of "Stern measures"
if the man did not appear.
Soon, however, the man, we'll
dressed and middle-aged, came in
with two police inspectors. He
proved to be a local steamship
official.
1t developed, according to
police, that he had Miss faithful
as his guest aboard a steamship
at a New York dock the after
noon she disappeared. The
steamship official told police that
he had long been a friend of the
girl and her family. He was
released.
At 3:15 p. M, he told police,
Miss Faithful left the steamship
There was nothing in her con-
verSation or actions that sug,
gested death, the steamship man
said. In fact, he was as much
mystified as authorities of the
tragic death of the young girl.
The talk with this man was
expected to throw considerable
light on the case but instead
threw more mystery into it, for
apparently Miss Faithful was
well and happy on the afternoon
of the day she disappeared from
New York.
Latest reports said the girl was
believed to have met death by
StrangulatiOn or by drowning in

8 TRAPPED MEN
ALIVE IN SUB

LONDON, June 10 G.N.S).
From their tomb in the subma-
rine Poseidon, 100 feet down in
the water off the coast of China,
eight British Seamen signaled to-
night to rescuers that they were
still alive.
U. S. Ship to Aid
British warships at the scene
of the disaster are frantically con-
tinuing theil efforts to reach
them and an American salvage
ship, the Pigeon, is fastening
from Tsingtao to assist.
Ten other men have not been
heard from by rescuers. They
are either imprisoned or dead
in another compartment of the
sunken submarine, which sank
after collision with the Chinese
merchant ship Yuta.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from HOngkOng said four men
came to the surface via the sub
marines escape apparatus by
which men are shot to the sur
face by compressed air. They
were picked up by British war
ships.
Device Saves Lives
This is the first time that this
new method of saving submarine
prisoners has been used in a
wreck, although often successfully
tried in experiments.
The Poseidon, vessel of 1,475
tons and launched less than two
years ago, carried 81 officers and
men. The collision occurred
while the sub-sea boat was en-
gagged in maneuvers off the Shan
tung coast. The Poseidon was
the last word in submarine con-
struction.

HADLEY, HAYES
TRADED FOR
LAZZERI
"Push EN- Up" Expected to
Join Local Club at Once;
Yanks Get Needed HurIer

Bump" Hadley, washington
right-handed pitcher, and Jackey
Hayes, second baseman, were to-
day traded to the New York
Yankees for Tony Lazzeri, second
baseman.
No cash was involved in the
deal.
Clark Griffith, owner of the
washington club, had made no
statement up to l o'clock regard
ing the trade, but word reaching
washington from New York said
the trade was agreed upon and
that either the Washington or
New York club would make the
announcements within a few
hours.
Hadley has been with the Wash
ington club since 1925 when he
first came up for consideration
but, he finished the. season with
Birmingham, of the Southern
Association.
Hayes came to the Griffmen
the following year from Birming-
ham and has played the second
base spot when neither Bucky
Harris or Buddy Myer were fill
ing the role. Hayes spent part
of the season of 1928 with Mime
apolis, of the American ASsocia-
ton.
Has Fine Record
Tony Lazzeri has been a Yam
kee since 1926, playing previously
in Lincoln, Salt Lake and. Peoria.
For Miller Higgins and Bob
ShaWkey, Lazzeri played some re-
markable baseball, being equally
effective afield and at the bat,
but he has not prospered under
Joe Mccarthy, sporting a batting
average of about .230 at the mo-
ment
The players traded will report
Immediately, according to indlca-
tionS.
Predicted 8y Times
That Bump Hadley's days were
numbered with the Griffmen was
told three weeks ago in The
Washington Times when it was
definitely known that Cleveland
had asked Owner Griffith what
he would take for the Washington
pitcher.
Meanwhile Bucky Harris had
told Washington correspondents
he was sweet on Hadley and the
New York Yankees became in
terested.
Tadley has not gone so well
here this year, having a record
to date of winning three and
losing three despite the fact he
has participated in 13 games
either as a starter or relief
pitcher.

Maryland Mother Indignant,
to Bring Matter Before
Next Meeting of the P.T-A.

Because 13-year-old T e ! m a
Zier, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John zier, of East Hyattsville,
Md, was sent home yesterday from
Edmonston, (Md) school for
standing while the Star Spangled

other room, the Maryland State
Board of Education is to be
asked to render an official edict
for the guidance of teachers and
pupils.
TheIma was back in school one
hour after returning to her home
and reporting the incident and
was again in attendance today.
but Mrs. Zier says that she will
take the matter up at the next
meeting of the Parent Teacher
Association and ask that body
to request the official board rul-
ing.
Reprimand Girl
Mrs. Esther Kramer, teacher
principal of the school, denied
that she sent Thelma home. She
said that the child interrupted
class by standing when the
strains of the National Anthem
came family from another room,
and was told to sit down.
After being reprimanded
Thelma declared she was going
home, and Mrs. Kramer said she
said:
"Allright, go on home"
Yesterdays incident, according
to Mrs. Zier is not the first of
its kind. Thelma, she said, has
come home repeatedly and re-
ported that she had been told to
sit down, and had asked her
father just when she should stand
to the strains of the Star
Spangled Banner"
Father a Policeman
Mr.. Zier is a policeman attach
ed to the Eighth precinct, and
Mrs. Zier said he told Thelma:
whenever you see the flag
pass or hear The Star-Spangled
Banner stand up, regardless of
where you are"
Mrs. Zier said that for time
she thought she would withdraw
Thelma from the school. but de-
cided that since the year was al
most over she would permit her
to remain. Thelma is sixth
grade pupil and has only one more
year at the school.
Thelma is very patriotic, her
mother says, and is descended
from a long line of fighting folks,

VATICAN AIDE
RESIGNS As
MOVE To
PEACE
Cardinal Pizzarde, Secretary
of State for Ecclesiastical
Affairs, Held Fascist Foe

VATICAN CITY, June 10
Q.N.SO. Cardinal Pizzarde,
Vatican Secretary of State for
ecclesiastical affairs, resigned to-
day as adviser of Action Cattolica.
indicating thai the Catholic
Church has weakened its oppo'
sition to the italian Government.
Several Catholic Churches in
Southern Italy were suspended by
the Pope today for disobedience,
which resulted from dissension
within the church itself, over the
Vatican's policy toward the
Quirinal.
Cardinal PiZZarde has been
the subject of bitter attacks by
the Fascist press, which accused
him o. scheming to become
Papal Secretary of State. It
was believed that his severance
Of connections with Action Cat
tOlica came as concession
from the Vatican to MusSOlini.
Further Sacrifices
The Pope is believed to be
willing to sacrifice others in order
to placate the government and
it is expected that Father Resa,
editor of the Review Civilta, and
Count Della Tore, editor Of
Osservatore Ror- ano. will also re-
sign from Action Cattolica.
Such concessions by the Vatt'
can will doubtless serve to placate
the FaGciStS and cause them to
yield ground in their stand
against the Catholic youth fedora
ton.
Defied Papal Order
The parishes we're suspended
because they defied the Pope's
ban upon professions in honor Of
the Corpus Domini which he
issued as a means of carrying
out his policy against the
Quirinal.
The parishes we're located in
the provinces of CampobasSo and
Cantazaro, where priests made
arrangements for the professions
without regard for orders from
the Vatican.
Sporadic demonstrations against
the Pope took place today in the
suspended parishes.
May Speed Settlement
Outbreak of opposition to the
TTvif
church was expected to speed q
settlement of the quarrel between
church and state.
The Vatican's reply to the
Italian governments note of yes
terday has already been drafted
by Cardinal Pacelli, papal secre.
tary of state.
The Vatican note, it is under.
stood, refutes the Italian govern.
ment's charge that violation of the
lateran cOncOrdat preceded fascist
suppression of Catholic youth &C.
tivitieS.
Present Note Today
Archbishop Borgongini Duca,
papal nuncio to Italy, probably
will present the note to Premier
Mussolini's foreign secretary to-
day.
Breach FOreStalled
While the Fascist note failed to
make the apologies demanded by
Pope Plus and contained charges
of political activities on the part
of the lay Catholic organization,
AziOne CattOlica, its cOnciliatOry
tone was heralded as insuring
unbrOken negotiations to solve
the serious crisis between church
and state.
The note is believed to have
forstalled possibility of a definite
rupture.
Counter Charge
In lieu of an apology, the note
contained an explanation" of the
disorders occurring at the time
of the dissolution. The Pope had
charged that the action of Fascist
students in invading churches and
Catholic institutions constituted a
violation of the Lateran treaty
and cOncOrdat.
