VON PAPEN-H|TLER
AGREEMENT SEEN
Conference ViSionsd as Aides
If Both Parties Leave
for Resort.
b the Associated Press.


BERLIN, August 6-Certain devel-
opments today indicated the Won Papen
government Is engaging IN active ne
gotiations with the National Socialists
to arrange for the participation of Adolf
Hitler'S party IN the government.
Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher, minister
of defense, and the most powerful fig
ure in the Won Papen cabinet, left this
morning for few days at Baltic re-
sort. At about the same time Hermann
Goering, Hitlers righthand man, left
for the same destination. There was
an unconhrmed report that Hitler him
self was going up to the Baltic.
There was nothing official to indicate
these departures were more than a CO.
incidence, but those who have been
watching the political developments be-
iieved reports that there were to be i'm
portant discussions on the Baltic over
this week end.
Conference EvOkes Surprise.
Capt. Goering had a long talk yes
terday with Baron Won Neurath the
foreign minister. but neither would say
what they had talked about.
1t was surprising to many that these
two should confer, for hitherto Baron
Won Neureth has kept aloof from do
meStic politics as much as possible. It
was assumed that, with other things,
he told Capt. Goering that the daily
reports Of political violence in Ger
many are harmful to the country's
prestige abroad.
The newspaper Tempo said this
morning that Hitler had assem- bled his
storm troop leaders at Schwerin and
issued strict orders to avoid acts of
violence. Nevertheless, disturbances
continued today.
Rioting Continues.
Dynamite and hand grenades from
the arsenals of political factions gave
a new touch today to the violence
which has swept through Germany for
the past six weeks.
In a wave of sabotage, dynamite
damaged buildings in half a dozen
places, and several persons narrowly
escaped injury from bombs.
At Breslau Ernst Eckstein, head OF
the Socialist Labor party. was shaken
out of his bed when a bomb was thrown
from a speeding automobile through
his bedroom window. The room was
wrecked. but he was not hurt. He told
police he suspected the National So
Cialists.
A dynamite explosion broke 300 win
dows and caused extensive other dam
age at Brunswick. The charge was
planted in a narrow street inhabited
by workingmen. There were numerous
injuries from flying glass, but nobody
was seriously hurt.
At Schwerin a building occupied by
the Socialist newspaper was damaged
by vandals, presumably political oppo-

Paraguay's northern boundary, she can
not accept the mediation Of neutral
nations.

WOMEN JURY SERVICE
TEST TRIAL GRANTED
National Party and Feminine Law
yers Join in Appeal From
Massachusetts,.

The National Woman's Party and the
National Association of Women Law
vers were granted leave by the United
States Supreme Court yesterday to in
tervene in a case in which a member OF
their sex is appealing against convic-
ton by a jury on which women were
not permitted to serve.
The case involves GenevieVe Weloskv
of Chelsea. Mass, convicted on a charge
of violating the prohibition laws. Mas
SachuSettS laws do not extend jury
service to women.
The motion on behalf of the Woman S
Party to review the decision was made
by Miss Madge Lee Guard of Utah
while Miss Laura H. Berrien of Geor-
gia represented the National ASsocia-
ton of Women Lawyers.
The adverse decision Of the Mas
SachusettS Supreme Court was hailed
at Woman's Party headquarters here
as offering the most favorable oppor-
tunity of carrying the demand for jury
service for women to the highest tri-
bunal. Woman leaders pointed to
the case of Strauder VS.. West Virginia
as embodying the same principle OF
law as is at stake in the case OF
Genevieve Welosky, namely, the right
of every citizen to equal protection OF
the law, guaranteed by the fourteenth
amendment
In 1879 Strau~cr, a colored man, was
tried for murder and convicted by a
jury from which members of his own
race were by law excluded. The West
Virginia Supreme Court affirmed the
sentence, but the United States Su-
preme Court reversed the lower courts
decision.

GRAND Jury HEARS
OF GAMBLING EVIL
AIIegany County Judge Holds
Prevalence of Gaming Is
Public Scandal.

CUMBERLAND, Md, January S.
Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan, in
charging the grand jury for the jan
uary term of the Allegany County
Circuit Court, yesterday referred to
the gambling evil here as a public
scandal" He told of complaints of
wide-open gambling in Cumberland and
towns Of Allegany County and urged
that the grand jury make every effort
to end it by bringing the operators into
court under indictment.
Judge Sloan referred to continued
complaints being made to the court
by parents. mothers, wives and sisters
that members of their families were
being fleeced of their wages in gam
bling dives"
The court said that it was apparent
that certain police officers as well as
constables knew of the location of
these resorts and were winking at this
form of violation and that instances
were reported where such officers told
the reputed proprietorS of these places
they had better shut up while the
grand jury was in session"
Judge Sloan reiterated that because
certain officers of the law, when be-
fore the grand juries Of past terms,
declared no gambling places existed as
far as they knew. that the impression
might be held that the gambling law
was a dead letter" The court de-
sired to dispel this idea and to impress
that the law against gambling and
gambling dives in Cumberland was still
on the books and must be enforced.
