HE'S INVENTOR
CLAIMED CLAYTON ADAMS
DID SELL PATENT TO WEST
ERIN TELEvIsIoN CORPORA
TION OF CHICAGO

Though arrested as vagrant
and confined in the county Jail,
Clayton Adams, whose story was
told in The Citizen last week, is
an inventor and did sell patent
to the Western Teleyision Cor
poration of 400 West Madison
street, Chicago, Ill.
A letter received by Sheriff
Niles, signed by Martin Wade, as
sistant to the president of the cor
poration, corroborated Adams
statement and said that certain
patentable rights for television
system had been bought by them
from Adams.
Another letter from the execu-
tive office of the company held a
cheek for the last payment of the
television devic which is being
used in the manufacture of the
apparatus.
Adams mother. Wilmer Alice
Adams, sent him a check advising
that a concern in Jacksonville was
much interesting in consulting him
concerning another invention which
he wants to sell and advising hin.
to get there as soon as possible.
Mrs. Adams letter head shows
that she is an English Critic and
Correspondence Counselor" resid-
ing at 3965 Baltimore Avenue,
Philadelphia, Pa. In letter to
the sheriff she asks that .'my
only SON. be treated as kindly as
possible and pleads with him TO
tell her for just what offense the
son is being held in prison.
Adams took his checks to the
bank and was informed that they
would have to be sent off to be
approved. Realizing that he was
anxious to get to Jacksonville. the
sheriff told him that if he could
secure transportation across the
county line he could go.
This he succeeded in doing and
this morning was a passenger on
a truck bound for Miami.

Cermany's New Chancellor
Quits Behind Scenes Role
3 g 20 . . seseesssssess
By AssocIated Presa

BERLIN, d &c. 6.-Kurt Won
Schleicher, called the invisible
chancellor" of the Bruening. and
Won Papen regimes, has moved in
to the full glare of Germany's
political spotlight through his Sc
lection by President Won linden
burg as head of the reich's second
authority government.
Once the enigma of the, mud-
died, troubled terms of his pre-
decessors, his elevation to the
chancellorship has given him an
open role to play. The Laughing
sphinx" now speaks his own lines.
He always has been where things
were happening ever since he be-
came a member of the general
staff back in pre-war days. He
early showed an uncanny ability
to get to the front of things and
in the old imperial army hurdled
whole grades of senior officers
backed though they were by
family names that spelled greater
"pull'' than he possessed.
Defended Infant Republic
At the close of the war, when
Berlin was i'm the hands of leftist
revolutionists, he rallied a body
of troops wearied by years of
fighting and had much to do with
squelching the extremists. He
bore the brunt of organizing a
defense force for the infant re-
public and when Bruening's min
lister of defense, General Wilhelm
Groener, went into the cabinet, he
became in effect the active head
of the army.
Groener had hoped that Won
Schleicher would pull the army out
of politics. It had been the target
of all sorts of accusations as the
xeat OF, a military clique" which
was supposed to be interfering in
party affairs. But when Bruen-
ing's cabinet fell politicians gem
orally attributed the change to
plans prepared, if not by, at least
with the approval of, one group of.
military men.
1t is related that some one
once asked a particular friend of
Won Schleicher just what the gem
eral was seeking.
"Oh, not much" was the dry
retort. "He merely wants to be
chancellor for 20 years."
Friend OF Ex-Crown Prince
Even his most optimistic friends
can see no such term as that for
the new head of the government.
But in the background turks the
Ishadowy possibility of an over
throw of the republic.
Those monarchists who have
taken heart from the confused sit

These are the Midsouth open, TO be

The hammer of Thor was hanging
above their heads
Gehrig's record through the last five
years has been astonishing When YOU
figure the runs he has scored and the
runs he has driven in, you get q clearer
idea of his value.
Twenty-nine years old, weighing 215
pounds, lean looking and in perfect
shape, Larruping Lou is barely at his
prime. No athlete takes better care of
himself and with any luck Gehrig will
be a great ball player for another 10

THE answer to the Cub collapse Is

81 runs in four games-When an assault
can pile up As hits for rs bases in this
brief span-there can be only one end

Bush, Warneke, Root and Malone
made up one Of the best pitching staffs
the National League has shown in some
time. Yet none Of the big four was
even able to halt the Yankees march
for more than round or two before the
avalanche fell.
Herb Pennock and Wiley Moore fig-
ure that the Yanks Of 1927 had just a
shade in punching power over this
years champions, but hardly enough to
write about. Which recalls the fact
that Pennock and Moore came in for
their share of praise and acclaim.
Pennock, working out his twenty-first

which kept the enemy of balance. Cy
Moores five innings brought out the
best pitching Of the series Il was

one third innings.
TOE SEWELL was another veteran
who stood out as one of the stars.
Sewells all-around display lasted
the entire route. He was always hard
man to pitch to and coming just ahead
of Ruth and Gehrig he was large
thorn in the Cubs system all along the
way.
Alabama put on quite a show. Out
