Caused Rejection of U. S.
Senator.

BY the Associated Press.
Testimony that circulation in Ken
lucky last Fall of special editions Of the
Fellowship Forum, Ku Klux Khan news
paper, cost former Republican Senator
Robson the election in that State, was
given before the Senate Campaign
Funds Committee today by Gordon
Huff, Louisville newspaper man.
HUFF testified the Forum circulation
was opposed by every one at Republican
headquarters, because 1t revived the
religious prejudice" of the 1928 cam
paign and religion was not an issue
in Kentucky"
He said the publicity also cost the re-
election of Representative Craddock,
Republican, in the fourth district, and
played a part in the defeat OF Mrs.
Langley in the tenth district.
Huff, who served as director of pub
licity for the Republican State Central
Committee during the election, said
100000 copies of a special Kentucky
edition of the Forum were received at
State Committee headquarters, but were
considered by all the Republican leaders
as 80 bad" that 10000 copies were
burned before the election and 10000
afterWard.
Robson. he added, was the only Re-
publican in Kentucky" who approved Of
the distribution of the editions. He said
he did not believe Robson knew the

RECEIVER IS NAMED
FOR W, B. & A. LINE
Subsidiary Company Also Is
Taken Over by Order of
U. S. Court.

George Weems williams, Baltimore
attorney, was appointed receiver for
the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis
Electric Railway on an order signed by
Judge Morris A. Soper in the United
States District Court at Baltimore to-
day.
The action was taken on q petition
filed by r. e. Duvall Co., Inc, of Wash
ington.
At the same time, Judge Soper named
Albert E. Towers as receiver for the
Annapolis, Chesapeake Bay Power Co
a subsidiary of the electric railway. The
latter appointment was made ON petit.
ton of George Baker Schroeder, q citi-
zen of New York. In Mr.. Schroeder'l
petition the allegation is made that the
Annapolis. Chesapeake Bay Power Co.
was not able to pay promissory note OF
100000 due December 81, 1880.
In this action it was said that the
assets of the company exceeded its
debts and that the current earnings ex-
ceeded the interest on certain out
standing bonds. The Chesapeake Bay
Power Co. assented to the appointment
OF Mr.. Towers as receiver.
Manager Makes Statement.
The Duvall Co., with Offices here in
the Franklin National Bank Building
in its petition alleged that the railroad
owes the plaintiff $3,246.25 for cross
ties recently purchased. The petition
was drawn by Attorney William F.
Kelly, associate of P. j. j. Nicolaides.
with offices in the Union Trust Build
ing, and filed by Attorney John T.
Tucker of Baltimore.
The following statement was made by
Harry T. Connolly, vice president and
general manager of the W., B. & A.
Electric Railroad, and the Annapolis &
Chesapeake Bay Power Co.:
The appointment of a receiver of the
w. B. & A. Electric Railroad Co. was
made necessary by impairment of the
railroads revenues through continuous
falling of in traffic. The road, like ether
interurban roads, is subject to compe-
tition of motor buSseS motor trucks,
and private automobiles. This COM
petition we have net been able to over
come, even by new equipment, reduc-
tons in fares and decreases IN running
time. Consequently, the Washington,
Baltimore & Annapolis Electric Railroad
Co. finds itself in the same unfortunate
position as some Of the steam roads and

and lnterurban roads.

.MUSSOL|N| DENIES
. CHARGE OF BUTLER
Duce Sends Message to En-
voy Saying He Never Ran
Over Any One With Car.

A cablegram of protest from Premier
Benito Mussolini to the Italian Ambas-
sador, Mobile Giacomo de MARITIME, to-
day added fuel to an international flare
up kindled by Brig. Gen. Smedley D.
Butler, "the fighting Marine" in a re-
cent speech at Philadelphia. The Navy
Department has called upon Gen. But
Ter for an official explanation, it was
learned today. and the State Depart
ment, attempting to scoth ruf1ed feel
ings, has assured the Italian Ambassa-
dor that q thorough investigation will
be made.
81 have never taken an American
on a motor car trip around Italy, neither
have run over a child, man or won-
an cabled II Duce in reply to state
ments attributed to Gen. Butler in his
Philadelphia speech that Mussolini had
run over and killed child, dismlssing
the incident with the remark, What
is one life in the affairs of a state?"
Envoy Makes Protest.
Gen. Butler, according to report, In
his speech stated that a friend of his
who had visited Italy and was taken all
over the country on a 12-day trip by
II Duce in his special armored car, was
a passenger when the child was struck
and killed. When the American cried
out in horror, according to the story,
Mussolini did not stop, but dismissed
the affair with remark and continued
on his way.
AS soon as the story of the generals
speech was published by a Philadelphia
paper the italian Ambassador protested
officially at the State Department. The
cablegram of protest from Mussolini, it
was stated today, was received after the
Ambassadors protest had been made.
The Navy Department, it was said to-
day, has asked Gen. Butler to explain
the remarks attributed to him. Gen
Butler, on duty with the Marine Corps
East Coast Expeditionary Force at
Quantico, Va. had not replied today to
the inquiry and Secretary Adams said
the Navy would take no action pending
his answer. Fellow Marine Corps off,
GERS here declined to comment.
Report Is Awaited.
1t was stated at the Navy Department
that Maj. Gen. B. H. Fuller, COM
1andant of the Marine Corps, has been
asked to assemble the facts in the mat
ter for submission to the Secretary of
the Navy. When this report and the
statement of Gen. Butler are before him
the Secretary of the Navy will determine
whether disciplinary steps may be neces-
sary.
Oficials Of the italian embassy de-
scribe Buffers story as mischievous and
absurd. Even aside from Mussolini's
emphatic denial. they said, the pressure
of business of I Duce is such that he
could not spend IL days travelling with
an American citizen or any other man,
regardless of his Importance. The only
time rDuce has had an American as
an automobile guest as far as attaches
at the embassy can remember, was q
few years ago when MusSolini took the
wife of a distinguished American from
Rome to Ostia, distance of few miles.
Another remark attributed to Butler
in the Philadelphia speech was that

ton of American authorities.
Capt Peter Macdonald, Conservative
member for the Isle of Wight, insisted
on statement regarding the case of
S. P. Eaden, recently deported from the

there. Capt Macdonald wanted to

made regarding Eaden's treatment by
American authorities and whether any
reason had been given for his deporta-

BY the Associated Press.
While House hearings on the $25,-
600 900 appropriation for Red Cross re-
lief continued, Senator Black today
charged deliberate" delay of the legis-
lation was being practiced.
Even casual knowledge of the situ-
alton existing in our country today is
sufficient to demonstrate the callous
indifference of those who seem to de-
lay and retard relief legislation" the
Alabama Democrat told the Senate.
THE political advantage may be
deemed a worthwhile objective, but it
will be purchased at a frightful price
of human suffering"
AS the House Appropriations Com
mittee moved forward its hearings,
which are scheduled to end tomorrow,
Maj. Gen. Lyle Brown, chief of Army
Engineers, testified that nearly all of
the $22, 100000 appropriated last De-

To Speed Up Hearings.
Senate proposals for relief were
heaped on the House doorstep today,
While the Appropriations Committee de-
cided to put some speed into hearings
on the Senate's $4,000 900 fund for the
Red Cross, that Chamber passed bill
to turn over to drought and unemploy-
ment sufferers 100000 bushels Of
Farm Board wheat.
1t also sent along a bill to exclude
homesteaderS from residence upon their
lands during 1929 and 1880, If driven
of by the drought. A dozen minor
uncontested measures went through at
the same time
The grain proposal passed the Senate
without objection at last nights session.
The plan is not looked upon with favor
by some administration supporters as

LOS ANGELES, January 27.-Paul

nation" four ltra-impreSsionistic pic
lures which won international fame.
He painted them, he said, without
the slightest knowledge of painting,

The inspiration for the deception was
received when a. painting by his wife,
Mrs. Sarah Smith, whom he considered
an accomplished artist, was criticized as
