DEATH TAKES
GERMAN HERO

GNADAU, Germany, Sept. 8.
U.P-Capt. Paul koenig, former
commander of the submarine
Deutschland, that visited the Uni
ted States during the war, died to-
day. He was Sc.
Commander of one of the most
famous submarines of the German
navy, Koenig startled the world
when, in 1916, he came to the sur
face in American waters, after a
dramatic under-sea passage from
Europe.
He had rim a heavy British
blockade, and upon occasion rested
for hours on the bottom of the sea
while the submarines mechanical
"ears caught the sound of British
propellers above him.
Koenig put into New London for
repairs, supplies and a cargo. His
heroiSm made a tremendous I'M
preston upon the United States,
which was not then at war, and
the Deutschland's feat was regard
ed everywhere as submarine tri-
umph emphasizing Germany's pow
er.
He returned with the Deutsch-
land-and a s2,0O0,000 cargo OF
goods badly needed in the father
land-and once more lodged the
blockaderS.

MAINE VOTE
IS WATCHED
BY COUN TRY

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 8. W.P)-
Maine, the nations original dry
state, will vote Monday, by ratio
of something like to 2, to ratify
the 21st (repeaD Amendment, if
unbiased forecasts are true.
Both vets and dryS have cam
paigned vigorously, mindful of the
weight which a Maine victory would
lend to the movement to make re-
peal a fact before the years end;
for Maine is not alone the pioneer
prohibition state, but famed, too,
as political barometer as evidenc-
ed by the time-worn adage, AS
Main Goes, So Goes the Nation. -
Mrs. Henry w. Peabody, chair
man of the Women's National
Committee for Law Enforcement
and a leader of the anti-repeal
forces, has called it the pivotal
state, adding that if Maine goes
dry Monday "It will mean an in
calculable impetus to those states
yet to cast their votes" The drys
can win, she feels, if they will
but get out and vote.
Less optimistic, apparently, is
Superintendent Friedrich w. Smith
of the Christian Civic League OF
Maine, a department of the Anti
Saloon League. Says he:
Il am neither prophesying one
way or the other. 1t is either a
wise man, or a fool, who makes
prophecies these days. I do not
fit into the former and have no
desire to join the latter"
Repealists Confident
Leaders of the repealists appear
extremely confident despite sew
eral obstacles which have cropped
up to harry them.
Speaking conservatively," said
Hilman H. Smith, one of the
leaders, "the state will go for re-
peal by 2ha to l."
What the vets regard as one
obstacle is the State Supreme
Court decision that the repeal
convention set for December 6
should be a deliberative and not
merely a ratifying body. Thus
QeleSdJeS Will HOI DC pleOSeu ana
there will be nothing on the bal
lots to designate the attitude of
the candidates.
Another obstacle is the fact
that whereas the drys present a
united front, eight independent
vets are running in addition to
the 80 regular vets. Eighty dele
gates are to be elected.
Maine still has the state dry law,
which became part of the consti-
tuition in 1889 Three-two beer has
flowed in Maine since July l..
Prior to that this birth state of
Neal Dow, famed 10th Century
temperance reformer, had been bone
dry for 81 years.

CUBA OPPOSED

United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

United Press Staff Correspondent
HAVANA, Sept. Cuban op-
position to American Intervention
solidified today. The executive COM
mittee government sought to pre-
vent any excuse for :: Dut used the
possibility of intervention as an
argument to win the support of po-
litical leaders and army officers.
Havana was completely normal.
1t was perhaps even more calm
than in the days when the secret
men of Gerardo Machado ruthless
ly maintained order
Yet the situation was one of ut
most delicacy.
There was no doubt that the gov
ernment was striving above all to
avert intervention, and as part of
that was making no secret of its
fear that popular anger would pre-
cipitate an outbreak if American
forces landed.
| Using the threat of intervention
as weapon, the committee of five
sought the support of political lead
ers and army officers for ma
tiOnal government that would in
clude the committeeman and be
headed by a strong man.
I'VE seek a president acceptable
to all Cubans," said Sergio Carlo
newspaperman committee member.
Carlos Manuel De Cespedes,
deposed by the committee, was un-
willing to return as provisional pre-
sident even if many elements did
not oppose him as too weak. Most
political leaders were unable to
gain the support of other leaders.
Domingo Mendez, former vice pre-
sident, was mentioned as possible
compromise candidate.
Even more urgently than to pol
iticians, the committee appealed to
the army officers to return to their
units. They were removed by en-
listed men in the bloodless revolt
that put the committee in power.

TRAPS
OUT. AS LAWS
ARE CHANGED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. W.P)-
Facilitated motor travel and di-
! minishing of speed trap opera
tions, because of abolition of
speed limits in some % states is
noted by the American automobile
association in a statement issued
from National headquarters here.
At the same time, the associa-
tion says that the majority of
motorists are showing due regard
for the rights of others on the
roads and are not abusing the
non-speed limit rule, although
some drivers seem to feel that the
new regulations give them free
license to do as they please.
Our reports" said Thomas P.
Henry of Detroit, Mich, president
of the A. A. A., indicates that the
great body of motorists are not
abusing the privilege that the ab-
sence of speed limits confers on
them. BY and large, the motor
lists accept personal responsibility
and realize that excessive speed is
prima facia evidence of reckless
ness in case of accidents.
"On the other hand, some mo-
toriSts seem to accept the absence
of speed limits as a challenge to
step on the gas without regard to
prevailing conditions, or the rights
of other drivers. If it should
spread to any large proportion of
highway users, there undoubtedly
would be an immediate demand
for the restoration of old and OBJ
Solete speed limits

[AMS0N TRIAL
TAKES RECESS

SAN JOSE, Calf, Sept. 9. {UP,
Attorneys for David A. Lamson,
Stanford campus intellectual ac-
cused of numbering his wife Allene,
perfected plans during adjourn
ment of the trial today after their
star witness testified that stains
on the alleged murder weapon
might have been from carrots, peas
or leaves instead of from blood.
DR.. Edward Oscar Heinrich of
Berkeley, famed for solving half
dozen major crimes and as wit
ness in such noted cases as the
Winnie Ruth Judd trunk murders
and the Massie trial in Honolulu,
was the defense witness.
Prosecution experts led by DR..
Frederick Phoescher, Santa Clara
county pathologist; said tests re-
vealed blooG OF. 10-inch iron pipe
and remnants of cloth found in
ashes of a bonfire in Lamson's
back yard.
The state contended Lamson used
the pipe to beat his wife to death
and then sought to destroy evi-
dence in the bonfire.
The pipe had been in the flames
for hours. DR.. Heinrich said such
heat would destroy all possibility
of a blood test being absolutely ac-
curate. He testified also that car
rots, peas and leaves could have
made the stains.
DR.. Heinrich will elaborate on his
direct testomony when court re-
opens Monday and later will be ri

MODERN REVELS

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Sept. 9. U.Pj
Residents, disturbed by jazz
bands and happy revelers in the
taverns which have sprung up since
beer was legalized in Connecticut,
are no worse off than their fore
fathers, who berated such goings
on 2l5 years ago.
An old record in the office of
Town Clerk John A. Gleason re-
veals that in those early years re-
velers sometimes created disorders
in taverns, to such an extent that
the town fathers ordered the con-
stables and grand jurymen to sup
press such disorders and bring Of

California's acute winter transient

year by establishment of state la.
Dor camps.
r. c. Branion, state emergency
relief administrator, disclosed the
state emergency relief commission
had requested 100000 federal
grant to finance The camps.
Branion said two obstacles faced
the plan. LaDo: camps would be
inadivsable unless the neighboring
states also joined the program-this
because the transient influx would
be too great. Second, the NRA
stipulation that 80 cents an hour
must be paid on all relief projects,
must be circumvented. 2
