Firms Peeved
Most of the pre-game squabbles
which had marked the week before
the Olympic fortnight had died
down today as the contestants
gathered for their quadrennial
parade.
There was one distinct exception,
however. This, of course, was the
one brought about by the refusal
of the International Amateur Ath-
letic federation to reinstate Paavo
Nurmi of Finland Nurni accepted
the decision in good grace, but
members of the delegation of which
he is now a nominal member, were
outspokenly bitter over the ban.
For some hours after the deci-
sion had become known on Friday
there were repeated rumors that
the Finnish delegation, acting upon
advice received by cable from home,
had withdrawn from the games.
Today there was fresher rumor
that Finland would never again
compete in the Olympics, but that
was soquhing that Germany will
have inteorry about four years

dened Chinese.
The refugees find treachery
among their number, inspired
chiefly by the presence of two
beautiful women, q Russian girl

WARSHIPS USED
IN WAR OF 1872
MAY BE RAISED

PENETANGUISHENE, Ont, July
30. U.P)-Two famous warships, the
Tigress and the Scorpion, symbolic
of American and Canadian bravery
during the War of 1812-14, now are
rapidly disintegrating in shallow
water in Penetanguishene harbor.
They were sunk. along with eight
other warships, to comply with the
terms of the Rush-Bagot treaty,
which allowed only two armed yes
sells from each of the two nations
on the Great Lakes.
The board of trade here met to
discuss the matter. They forward
ed a strongly worded petition to
the federal government; saying that
unless immediate steps were taken
TO raise them and preserve them
from the elements and raids from
souvenir hunters, they would soon
be lost forever.
So far. the only steps that have
been taken to preserve the ships
has been to send divers down to
determine whether or not they are
fit to raise
Some doubt has been expressed by
the divers as to whether the Scor-
pion can be raised, but 1t is agreed
that, with very little difficulty. it
will be possible to raise the Tigress,
and rebuild the stolen and rotted
parts. Sufficient financial backing
is still wanting to complete the
task.
Both the Scorpion and the Tigress
participated in the American naval
victory in the Battle Of Lake Erie,
or Putin bay, September 18, 1913,
the Scorpion having the distinction
Of firing the first and last shots
in this battle.

Take
Tennis Doubles

ROLAND GARROS STADIUM,
PARIS, July 80. U.H - America
gained a fighting chance to wrest
the Davis cup from France today
when its doubles team of Wilmer
Allison and Johnny Van Ryn de-
feated the veteran French combina-
ton of Henri Cochet and Jacques
(Toto) Brugnon, 6-3, 11-13, Us, 4-6,
Ga.
Cochet and Brugnon won the Sec
ond set, 1911.
Play see-sawed back and forth
until I'LL was reached. The
Frenchmen moved into the lead
by taking the Esd game and ran out
the set by breaking through Van
Ryn's delivery on the Oath. Van
Ryn grew angry at several question
able line decisions in the game and
deliberately outed twice.
Allison and Van Ryn won the
third set, rs.
By virtue of its clean sweep OF
the two opening singles matches
yesterday, France leads two matches
to one. The issue will be decided
tomorrow when Allison meets Jean
Borotra and Ellsworth Vines plays
Cochet in the two concluding
singles engagements. Victory in
either match will enable France to
retain the cup for the sixth con-
secutive year.
Today's match, which. was con-
tested before $4,000 spectators, was
featured by the smooth teamwork
of the Americans, and All;son's
smashing all-round play. The fiery
Texan was all over the court, strck-
ing with vigor that brooked nc
return. 1t was well that Allison
was in such super-form for Van
Ryn, usually as steady as clock
was weak off his back hand and
had great difficulty in holding his
service.
Part of the match was played in
heavy drizzle, but the players dir
not seem to mind the slippery court
and heavy balls.

GERMAN VOTERS
PREPARING FOR
MARCH TO POLLS
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, July 80. U.P) - Thirty
seven million German voters will
march to the polls Sunday to elect
a new reichstag, and they have only
to select their choices from the 81
different tickets in the field.
They entered the last day of the
election compaign geared to a point
of excitement seldom equalled in a
country that takes its politics more
seriously than any other nation in
the world.
At midnight tonight, a political
truce" will be effective to last for
10 days. The truce was established
by an emergency decree issued by
President Paul Won Hindenburg pro-
hibiting indoor and outdoor politi-
cal gatherings from July 81 to Aug
ust 10.
The last hours of the campaign
before the "deadline' on political
activities were featured by an at
tack on the Won Papen regime by
Ex-Chancelor Heinrich Bruening
and an address broadcast to the
United States by the chancellor.
Groups of Aloph Hitler's Brown
Shirts were mobilized in various
parts of the country, but the move
was not considered dangerous. It
is Hitler's custom to send his mi
litia to the polls to protect voters
from attacks.
Among the questions the voters
were expected to decide were:
Will the Papen-Schleicher cabi-
net Of aristocrats and military
chiefs, resting on the authority of
the president and the sword of the
army, remain in power?
Will Hitler have an opportunity
to impose militant Fascism upon
the nation?
Will the election produce a dead
lock between Fascists and anti
Fascists and leave Germany vic
tim of civil strife?

The prophet is tall and exceed

He is a native southern Negro

ASTORIA MAYOR
HAS PERPETUAL
CLAIM ON JOB

ASTORIA, Ore. July 80. UH-
Once a Roman, always a Roman;
once a mayor, always a mayor.
So reasons Francis Clay Harley,
former mayor of Astoria, who still
clings to the title. although it has
been more than a dozen years since
last he set foot in this city.
City officials are occasionally re-
minded of Harley, especially around
the first of each month. They
have come to expect the usual
flood of bills for sundry wants from
all over the country, addressed to
the Hon. Francis C. Harley, Mayor
of Astoria"
Recently, j C. Ten Brook, pres
ent mayor, received an urgent re-
quest from Washington, d. c..
hotel for $200--contracted by the
irrepressible Harley during a brief
visit.
More recently, however, Astorians
were surprised to find in out of
state newspapers a number of pic
lures of the jovial and picturesque
ex-official in characteristic poses,
appropriately captioned, "The Fa-
nous Mayor of Astoria, Ore"
Although press dispatches failed
to mention the fact. Harley was
very much in the picture at the re-
cent national political conventions.
The picture he presented was him
self as chairman of the National
Liberal Alliance Movement. A Chi
cago photographer sent his bill for
this service, but received a reply
that the esteemed Mr.. Harley was
no longer connected with this city's
administration.

JAPANESE LAND
BUYING LEGAL
in PHILIPPINES,
BY JOSE M. MALONZO
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

MANILA, P. l., July 80. --Ex-
tensive japanese landholdings in
Davao, Mindanao, made the sub
ject of legislative investigation,
were acquired under the old land
laws permitting foreigners to buy
or lease agricultural land, accord
ing to Serafin Hilado, director of
the insular bureau of lands, and
accordingly were obtained legally.
Hilado's opinion was sought af-
ter charges were made that the
Japanese gained ownership of the
land through illegal transactions,
and that government officials,
notably those connected with the
land bureau, participated in tie
deals.
The director of lands pointed out
that the law now is modified SO as
not to permit foreigners acquiring
Philippine public lands.
1t was revealed that there were
many cases in which Filipinos ap-
piled for purchases, leases or home
SteadS, and then made arrange
ments with the Japanese for the
latter to cultivate the land.
At present such arrangements
are carefully scrutinized and in
vestigated, and drastic action is
taken if violations are involved,
Hilado said.
Japanese land interests and the
influx of Japanese immigrants in
Davao necessitated the establish
ment recently of Japanese gen.
eral consulate there to look after
Japanese interests.

CATSKILLS GANG
RULE ENDED BY
THREE DEATHS
BY HENRY MATTEO
nited Press Staff Correspond


ALBANY, N. Y, July 30.-The
recent killing of Edward (Fats) Nc
Carthy marks the virtual ending
of troublesome New York gang
ster alliance that included the late
Jack Oegs) Diamond and Vincent
Coll.
For some time the three were a
thorn in the side of authorities.
Gangster enemies obliged police by
rubbing out" Coll and Diamond,
while Mccarthy met his end in a
pistol battle with New York de-
tectiveS near here.
Coll and Mccarthy gained con-
siderable notoriety last year when
5-year-old Michael Venghali was
shot and killed by a stray gangster
bullet while playing in Harlem
street. The bullet, fired by an au-
tomobile load of hoodlums, was be-
lieved meant for an enemy gang
ster.
Subsequently Mccarthy was
charged with Staying a New York
detective who sought to arrest him
in connection with the Harlem in
cident. Until he fell mortally
wounded with a bullet in his head
he had eluded capture.
Coll, rated real tough guy"
was arrested and tried several
months ago but was acquitted.
Gangster enemies cornered him in
New York City telephone booth
shortly afterwards, trained a sub
machine gun on him and blazed
away.
The first of the trio to go was
Diamond. Legs" who led an in
flux ofg racketeers to the Catskill
mountain region and Albany last
year, was shot and killed last De-
cember while lying in an intoxi-
Gated stupor here.
When Diamond forsook New
Yorks underworld and transferred
his booze and racketeeering activi-
ties to the Catskills, he was fol-
lowed by Coll, Mccarthy and sew
eral others. Like Diamond, Coll
was driven out last fall by mill
tant attorney generals office.
Mccarthy in hiding in the Vi
cinity of Catskill and Albany since
last summer, managed to keep his
exact whereabouts a secret until
he was cornered near his home on
the Albany Schenectady road.

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, July 80. W.H-The
upward pace of the stock market
slackened somewhat on weekend
profit taking today but not until
another score of industrial and util-
ity leaders had pushed through to
further new high levels for the cur
rent recovery.
Buying was in lighter volume be-
cause of the widespread brokerage
advices to clients to wait for re-
action" before re-accumulating
stocks. Action of the market, how
ever, was contrary to this mature
Judgment" as many stocks were
able to better their previous closing
levels.
Gains were small but sufficient
to impress the speculative contin-
gent with the scope of the current
buying movement They also served
to send the street home with a
bright outlook for the coming week.
Activity dwindled with the check
ing of the forward movement and
sales for the two hour session were
well under the million share mark.
Buying was more selective, converg-
ing generally on a few of the bet
ter known issues. Other stocks di-
gested their recent gains.
Leadership was provided by sew
eral important stocks, American
Telephone crossing the 80 level
near the close for a gain of around
a point, and Steel common reached
a new high for the current move
ment at 1895 on a similar sized
gain. j. l. Case reached its best
levels in several months above the
80 level, a gain of more than
point. Other shares to better their
recent highs at small advances IN
cluded Pennsylvania railroad, Amer
lean Tobacco 3D." Lorrilard, Au-
burn and Westinghouse.
The best gains was made by
Norfolk and Western, which was
Az points higher at one time at
84h. New York Central, Union
Pacific and Atchison, which rose
sharply yesterday, lost a part of
their gains. The rails were little
affected by the weekly car loading
statement showing loadings of
sol, ,130 cars in the week ended
July %, a decrease of 1864 cars
from the preceding week.
While a part of the early gains
in some stocks were shaded toward
the close, the market finished the
week at approximately the best
levels since early May. The past
weeks gains lifted the market on
an average of approximately IL per
cent but still left it at a small
fraction of the bull market highs.
According to preliminary calcula-
ton, the Dow, Jones & Company
industrial average stood at 5426, up
0.37 points, rail 2174, up OILS and
utility 22.78, off 0.01.
