HITLER PARTY
BEGINS DRIVE
To USE POWER
Brown Shirts and Powerful
General SChIeicher May
Rule Germany.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

BERLIN, Aug. 3.-Adolph Hit
ler's Fascist party has begun its
drive for power in the reich's gov
ernment-a drive which may lead
Hitlerites to collaborate with the
powerful defense minister, General
Kurt Schleicher, in ruling Ger
many.
The FasciSts first move was
through peaceful negotiations, but
there was the constant threat of an
ultimatum or harsher methods.
Az a war council of Fascist
leaders at Munich, Hitler desig-
mated his chief-of-staff, Captain
Ernst Roehm, head the brown shirt
army of 100000, to proceed to Ber-
lin and confer with General Schlei-

cher, who generally is considered
the strongest figure in Chancellor
Franz Won Papen's cabinet.
Less powerful Fascist leaders
urged Hitler to send an utimatum
TO Colonel Won Papen demanding
surrender of virtually all authority
in the reich, but Hitler was inclined
first to tread the path of negotia-
ton.
Captain Roehm will demand:
l. Remodelling of the reich's cab
met to include several Fascists in
important governmental posts.
2. Replacement of the present
dictatorship in Prussia by a regular
cabinet under Fascist domination.
The plan WOULD be contingent on
an agreement by DR.. Heinrich
Bruening's Catholic center party to
tolerate a Fascist Schleicher re-
gime, providing the government
continues to act with parliamentary
authority.
The attitude of the Catholic party
is problematical, and it is quite
possible more drastic action will be
necessary to solve the present parli-
amentary crisis.
Obviously General Won Schleicher
hopes to retain his key position,
and possibly he can maintain con-
troll of the chancellorShip. defense
and foreign ministries by satisfying
the Fascist bid for power in Prussia.
He also intends to keep control
of the Prussian ministry of interior.

FEDERALS DROP
PROBE OF RAID
Alleged Fake Attack Not to
Be Given Jury.

Federal grand jury investigation
of an alleged fake federal raid"
on roadhouse July 10, in which an
Indianapolis police sergeant is &C
cused of participating, is not con-
templated at this time, it was
learned today.
The federal grand jury will con-
vene Aug. Is, but unless new evil
dence in the case is uncovered, it
will not be submitted to the grand
jurors, according to District At
torney George r. Jeffrey.
The alleged raid charge was made
by John McGrady, 36 West Thir-
teenth street, who was waiter in
the Tasty Toasty sandwich shop,
U. S. highway 81 and Seventy fifth
street, which since has been closed
by the owner, Herman Rudy.
McGrady alleged the police ser
geant, Patsy Mcmahon; three other
men and woman entered the shop
the night of July 10, one of the men
asking for liquor, and that when he
said he had no liquor the three
companions of the sergeant flashed
badges and said they were feds
and we're going to raid the place. >"
Mcmahon and his three COM
panions, in statements to Chief
Mike Morrissey, denied pretending
to be federal agents or that they
raided the place. They admitted
that one of them asked for iquor
and jokingly asked the waiter how
he knew they we're not federal dry
agents.
The only trouble that ensued,
they asserted, resulted when they
claimed McGrady charged he once
had paid Mcmahon $500 to let
him off after catching him with a
load of liquor"
Jeffrey said the grand jury ses-
sion will be taken up principally
with ordinary liquor cases.

the Cubs outaeld as lamentably
weak.
Veeck is said to have censured
Hornsby for this story, with Horns
by taking the attitude that he was
at liberty to pass his own opinions
as he saw fit.
Friction also developed between
Veeck and Hornsby over the lat
ter's attempt to play regularly.
Hornsby attempted to play the out
field and later tried third base when
Bill urges was shot in a quarrel
with his sweetheart.
Veeck is understood to have or
dered Hornsby to bench himself.
Hornsby played in eight games and
batted .228 the only season but
one in which he ever batted under
300.
Hornsby plans to remain out of
baseball the remainder of the sea-
son, inasmuch as he'll draw two
months salary, approximately $16,-
900, for remaining idle.
Il don't expect to look for an
other job this year." he said, but
if I should receive a very good
offer 1 might be tempted"
Hornsby was named manager of
the Cubs Sept. %, 1880, after Joe
Mccarthy, now manager of the New
York Yankees was let out by the
late William Wrigley.
Grimm Is New Manager
Last season, Hornsby piloted the
Cubs to third place, and this sea-
son had them in first place several
times and in the thick of the pen
nant fight until recently when they
began to lose crucial games and
allow Pittsburgh to build up a COM
manding lead.
Grimm. the Cubs new leader, is
33, and has been with the team
since 1925, when they obtained him
from Pittsburgh along with Mar
awhile and Cooper in exchange for
Aldridge, Grantham and NeihauS.
In fifteen years in the majors,
Grimm has a batting average of
.292.
He told the United Press he did
not expect to inaugurate any new
policies, but that he might make
some shifts if the teams hitting
didn't improve.
We've got to concentrate on more
hitting" said Grimm. Stephen
son and Cuyler have been doing all
right lately, but myself and some
of the other boys have been in a
slump. We've got fine pitching, and
should be able to make. a fight for
the pennant if we get the hitting"
Wrigley Admired Hornsby
The late William Wrigley was a
great admirer of Hornsby, and
sanctioned the exchange of five
players and 100000 in cash to the
Boston Braves in May, 1928, to get
him.
In his first year with the Cubs,
Hornsby batted $50 and played
major role in their successful pen
nant battle.
1t was Wrigley who personally
selected Hornsby as the man to give
him a world championship team
when Mccarthy was given his re-
lease late in 1880.
Until his death this spring, Wrig-
ley was confident that Hornsby
would bring him the world cham
pionship he so keenly coveted.
P. K. Wrigley, new owner of the
Cubs, hasn't shown the interest his
father did in baseball, and has al
lowed Veeck complete authority in
running the team.

The key is about eight inches long. Long
immersion in the water is seen to have had
most Of its effect upon the large circle which
forms the handle. That portion of the key
is very thin, measuring little more than an
eighth Of an inch in diameter, rusty coating
and all. This Is in contrast with other sections,
which for one reason or another are much
thicker.
The head Of the key gives distinct evidence
OF having been subjected to heavy blows. II
seems quite possible that members Of the COM
mittee which supervised the key-throwing back

during later years. So far as the design Is con-
cerned 1t belongs in general to the style which
would have been followed In making an instru-
ment TO open q heavy iron door constructed In
the early decades Of the eighteenth century.
It was during the tenancy Of Mount Vernon
by Mrs. Jane Washington that the tomb in
which the iron door is located known IS "the
new tomb" to distinguish 1t from the place
where Washington's body first was rested was
completed. This completion took place in
1881. The bodies of George and Martha
Washington and those of other members Of
the Washington family were placed In the
new tomb In 1887.
And so as matters stand, the passage Of
five more years will mark the rounding of
century since an iron door approximately three
feet wide and Of the same depth first looked
down upon the severely-moulded sarcophagi
containing the mortal remains of the first
President and his wife. And in three years,
eight decades will have elapsed since the COM

- Dug Ont of the Sand ON the Potomac Ri0er
Bank bya SMALL Boys Toes, More Than Sixty
Years Ago, the Story Of This Discovery Noao Is
Told for the First Time and May Be Sequel
to the Strange E0ent Of September 10, 1856:

It was during the course of one Of these
play-times that young Snowden found the key
which now Is becoming the object of extensive
interest. 1t must have looked very important
to his boyish eyes, Perhaps its size and ancient
appearance made him have thoughts Of o
treasure chest; maybe his imagination linked
it with the lock a barred door down In the
hold of some grand vessel that once sailed the
Potomac. 3 -.
In any event, he and his playmates hurried
back to home and parents up the river There
the find was displayed.
Since that day, the key has been in the
possession Of the Snowden family. It now Is
owned by Mrs. Kate w. Snowden, widow Of
the man who Is q boy, found the key.
During all the years which have elapsed since
an excited lad came home with Q rusty piece
of iron In his hand the key has been carefully
kept by the members Of the Snowden family.
TIRED SNOwDEN's father and other persons
! who long had resided near the river above
Mount Vernon were well acquainted with the
story Of the disposition of the key of the
Washington tomb according to Mrs Snowden.
It was the strong possibility that the key which
had been found was the key to the tomb. in
fact, which influenced the family to exercise
such care In the custody Of It.
A few days ago Mrs. Snowden granted per-
mission for the key to be taken to Mount Ver-
non for inspection by MFR. Dodge, whose long
tour of duty as superintendent OF the ma
tional shrine marks him as an authority on
q wide range OF matters relating TO Washing
