Bicycling Huntsmen
Chase Fox in England

LONDON-Old John Peel may have
been able to foresee many things, but
he could hardly have pictured the time
when push bikes" would be used in fox
hunting. But masters of foxhounds in
some parts of England are thoroughly
upset over the present-day problem OF
the bicycling huntSman.
1t has not been unusual for the more
famous hunts to attract enthusiastic
onlookers, but this season brigades OF
bicyclists have descended upon the
hunt country from nearby towns, and
some of these pedaling Peels become SO
excited that they give chase to reynard
on roads adjacent to the fields over
which the horses gallop.
What is more. they use the we'll
known cries and expressions of the
chase. It is asserted by huntsmen that
these bicyclist followers Of the sport
frequently spoil the run by too closely
hemming in the fox. Unemployment is
believed to be largely responsible for
the presence of most "bikers" in the
hunting country.

Once-Cruel Afg CHAN Despot, Exile in
Rome, Plans to Return to Power

He probably would not reruse to fish
in troubled waters If there were q
chance of catching a throne.
He follows developments in Afghan
istan with passionate interest and he
keeps his international political fences
in repair. He maintains as cordial re-
lationS with representatives of the
great powers here as it is possible for
King In exile to maintain. He sub
scribes to two clipping services which
send him articles from both American
and European periodicals.
Still Figures on Reforms.
The King still thinks that he could
carry out the reforms in Afghanistan
which he began after his tour of Eu-
rope IL 1927 and 1928-a tour which
itself was like series of escapades out
Of the Arabian Nights" The revolt
against him was inspired more by in
trigues Of great powers, he thinks, than
by any real resentment against him
among his subjects. Western nations
feared the effects on the turbulent poll
tics of the East of his program of en-
hghtenment in Afghanistan, Amanullah
is convinced, and they made him the
victim of the gaines they play with en-
pires.
The Italian government treats the
King with the consideration due q
great and good friend" in difficulties
which may prove to be only temporary
without, however, doing anything to
give offense to the Afghan legation on
the opposite side of the city from
Amanullah's modest 'palazzo."

ROME, Italy-In a big, cream-col-
ored stone house in a quiet street in
Rome where nursemaids take children
walking there lives an unobtrusive,
dark accomplishment man who a few
years ago was an Oriental despot, crush
ing rebellion against him by tying its
leaders to the mouths of cannons and
firing them of-and who hopes very
strongly to do exactly the same thing
again before too many years have
passed.
He is his ex-majesty, Amanullah,
ruler of the savage fastnesses of At
ghanistan until four years ago, when
his westernizing reforms unleaShed
forces which drove him headlong from
his throne to seek asylum in the eternal
city which has seen so many emperors
literally and figuratively tied to their
conquerors' chariot wheels.
Unless you know the King and recog-
niZe him walking about the city or
taking movies with his own camera at
the horse races or playing very good
game of tennis at the Circolo Roma
you would never know he was in Rome.
He is seldom seen in the places where
1t Is fashionable to be seen. He is
rarely written about in the Italian
newspapers. The only place where his
name regularly appears in print Is the
telephone book.
But the fact that Amanullah leads a
quiet life does not mean that he Is rec
onciled to defeat. Far from 1t. He
thinks of nothing but how to return
to power, partly for his own sake and
partly for the sake Of his three sons

Author Wins Long Fight
To Get Bird Sanctuary

ROME.-Dr. Axel Munthe, author of
''The Story of San Michele" has
achieved his long cherished ambition
of protecting the birds on the Island Of
Capri Mussolini has signed a decree
making Capri a bird sanctuary.
Munthe's book describes how the ma
tiveS were accustomed to stretch great
nets, capturing thousands of doves,
larks, quail, robins, nightingales and
other birds during the migrating season.
The birds were made into pies.
Munthe tried in vain for years to
have the practice stopped. In despair,
he hired men to frighten the birds
away from the nets, but the system
worked badly. At last his campaign
reached the ears Of Mussolini and the
new decree was the result. It has not
increased Munthe's popularity among
the Capri natives.

Gangsters on Trial
Cor MurderOuS Raid
On Needle Offices
Two Murdered When
Union Was Raided
Last April

NEW YORK.-Seven gangsters who
participated in the murderous attack
on the headquarters of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union
last April which resulted in the kill
ing a fur worker and a gangster,
faced trial today before the General
Sessions Court, Part 6. Harry
Gottfried, a fur worker, died several
weeks ago after having been in the
hospital since the attack occurred.
Today's session was concerned with
the selection Of jury which will
hear the case of the seven gang
sters who are under the protection
Of the Associated Fur Manufactur-
ers.
S. P Mara, former district attor-
ney, who usually defends the Schulz
gangsters, and Loeb are attorneys for
this gang. That the assistant district
attorney, Mendelson, is working
closely with the defense, was evident
in Mendelson's failure to challenge a
juror who admitted that he was a
member of the fur association. The
judge, however, desiring to cover ur
this brazen action to whitswash the
gangsters, declared the juror I'M
qualified.
Anxious to conceal their maneu-
vers, the attorneys asked all visitors
to leave the court. A number of i'm
portant witnesses were not called al
though the trial opened today.
The gangsters who face trial are:
Sam Cohen, Antony Bendetto, Sam
Green, Harry Katz, Benjamin Lee
vine, Barney Shore and Sol Horwitz,
the latter, who claims membership
in the union, failed to appear and
his bail was forfeited. Several OF
the gangsters have been arrested
since the raid on the Needle Union
headquarters and are now out on
bail. Three were brought in under
guard. Katz came in displaying a
deep knife wound on his face.
