STATE WINS IMPORTANT POINT
IN ALIEN LAND LAW TRIAL

A ruling by Judge r. D. McPher-
rim that evidence in the alien land
law case now being heard before a
Jury in his court could be continued
as originally started by the prosecu-
ton yesterday afternoon, brought
to an end arguments by counsel
which had started at O'Clock this
morning regarding this evidence.
After this decision of the court the
jury was brought back into the box,
Arthur Williams, first witness for
the prosecution returned to the
stand, and the trial was resumed.
When williams was first intro
duced as witness for the state yes
terday afternoon, attorneys for the
defense objected, stating that the
prosecution must first prove that
a conspiracy had existed between
the defendants before considering
testimony which would tend to
prove certain alleged acts in viola
ton of the law.
1t was the opinion of defense
counsel that the, overt acts alleged
in the indictment could not be used
as proof of the conspiracy. 1t was
their contention that the prosecu-
ton must first establish the "cor-
pus delicti,' in this instance the

DICTATOR Of
AUSTRIA SHOT
Chancellor Dollfuss Slightly
Wounded By Disgruntled Nazi
Supporter.

VIENNA, Oct. 3. U.PJ-Chancel-
lor Engelbert Dollfuss was slightly
wounded today by would-be as
SaSSin.
Reports of the attempt against
the diminutive but powerful leader
who has held his government to-
gether by main strength against
bitter Nazi and Socialist factions,
were confirmed by his secretary,
who said DollfusS was not seriously
injured.
Examination by physicians at a
first aid station to which the chan
cellor was hurried showed two
wounds, both from small caliber
bullets. One was a flesh wound in
the right upper arm, and the other
a slightly deeper wound near the
left breast, where the bullet was
halted by a rib.
Police arrested his assailant. Rea-
sons for the attempt were not at
once revealed.
Dollfuss was on his way from a
meeting of the Christian Social
party where he had been discussing
proposals for dissolution of the
party.
A man, said to be a former pri-
vate in the army, stepped forward
as though to present petition,
from a large group of people wait
ing to give the chancellor memoir
ials on political subjects.
The petition was taken by a po-
lice official accompanying the chan
cellor and the man who presented
it then stepped back two or three
PAGES, when he wheeled suddenly
produced a revolver, and fired di-
rectly at Dollfuss.
The chancellor was said to have
been wounded in the chest and
one arm, and his attacker was sur
rounded, disarmed and arrested.
Under questioning of the police,
his assailant identified himself as
Rudolf Vergil. Police reported he
was a Nazi who had been dismissed
from the army because of recent
political activities.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3. W.P)-The
New York Giants hammered out a
4 to victory today in the opening
game of the World series.
Sterling pitching of Carl Hubbell
and a home run by Mel OFT paved
the way for the defeat of the Wash
ington Senators. Hubbell allowed
five hits.
The most exciting moment of the
game came in the ninth inning
when Washington filled the bases
with none out. Hubbell, the left
handed star of the Giants pitching
star, was in serious trouble for the
first tins.
But Hubbell rallied under fire.
Manush scored on an out, Bluege
famed, and Sewell was out on q
grounder.
Hubbell struck out 10 during the
game.
Three of the four runs scored by
the Giants were driven in by the
sensational OFT who hit safely in
each of his four turns at bat. His
homer was the only extra base hit
of the game.
Hubbell, lean and lanky SOUTH
paw, was off to brilliant start. He
faced but nine Senator batters in
the first three innings of the
game.
The spell was broken In the
fourth. Buddy Myer, lead-off Sena-
tor batter, opened with sizzling

INTERNAL ROW

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.
Controversies over policies within
the American Federation of Labor
were foreshadowed today in resolu-
lions introduced at the Federation s
53rd annual convention.
The resolutions, scheduled to be
fought out on the convention floor,
include controversial matters as in
creases in the personnel of the ex-
ecutive council and jurisdictional
disputes between craft and federal
labor unions.
The application of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers and it's
100000 members for affiliation with
the A. F.. of l.. was before the ex-
ecutive council. 1t was indicated
there was strong opposition to in

has grown to power outside the
ranks of the federation.

the council from eight to 25 men,

CANNING FIRM
LOSES BATTLE

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3. 'U.P-
The government prepared to seek
revocation of the canning permit of
an Oakland plant today after VIC
tory in its first western court test
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Federal Judge A. F.. st. Sure
granted permanent injunction re-
straining operations of the Calls
tan Packers, Inc, of Modesto,
charged with exceeding the quota
in its peach pact.
Calistan was charged with pack
ing virtually double its quota OF
1900 cases of peaches allotted it
under the cling peach marketing
agreement of the AAA for the TO-
100000 case California pack.
1t was announced that Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace had ordered
an action against the Independent
Growers association which oper-
ates a cannery in Oakland, charged
with exceeding its allotment OF 95,-
900 cases, refusing to pay an assess
ment to be refunded to growers for
the over-supply and refusing access
to it's books.
James Lawrence Fly, special as
sistant to the United States attor-
ney general, prosecuted the Calls
tan case after an airplane trip here
from Washington.
1.-The decision is a sweeping victory
for the governments recovery pro-
gram said Fry when Judge st.
Sure held that both the Agricul-
tural Administration and the court
had Jurisdiction granted by con-
gress, and that the firm had vio-
lated the law. tt'
Calistan packers will be paid for
expense of packing the peaches in
excess Of it's quota. The peach con-
trol committee will dispose OF the
excess and probably will turn the
balance of the funds into the fund
to pay growers for unharvested
peaches.

BIC PARADE
Legion Puts 1t On Before
Millions In Memory Of Their
Days In Service.
By HARRISON SALISBURY
United Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The power
and the glory that was Americas
greatest battle legion lived again
today.
One hundred fifty thousand men
of the millions who rallied to the
nations colors in IT rallied once
more under the blue and gold BAN
ner of the American Legion.
These were the men from the
cornfields of Iowa and the sky
scraper offices of New York and
who fought as comrades in French
trenches. These were the men who
came back home.
Today they marched with blaring
bands and trumpeting bugles down
the broad pavement of Michigan
boulevard, past the hammered build
ings and into the concrete amphi-
theater that is Soldier field.
With the 10000 men marched
another legion-a legion that never
came back
In the measured tramp of thous-
ands of feet was the ghostly echo
of other thousands whose bodies lay
in foreign lands, one resting under
a simple block of stone in Wash
ington that bears no name but is a
monument to them all.
Once a year the Legion marches
in memory of the day it served
America.
Today the march was the great
est the one-time men of war had
ever made. Many believed such a
parade would never be seen again,
for the mark of age lies on the
Legion that was the flower of Am
erica's youth in II.
Five hundred bancs, drum corps,
bugle corps and fife corps beat
crescendo of martial music for feet
whose rhythm was not as perfect
as it once had been. 1t was no mon
otone of olive drab, FURNISHED gun
stocks and cleaning rifle barrels,
but uniforms of scarlet and cream
with silver helmets, or sleek trap
pings of powder blue.
The scene attracted Chicago's
millions and thousands from over
the country who came to see dad
or husband march again. At dawn
the Legion was assembling. 1t would
be dusk before the last man march
ed in salute around the amphithe-
ater dedicated to his fallen COM
rades. ...-.
Great, mile areas were blocked
off. Chicago's boulevard lakefront,
gem of civic possession, belonged to
the veterans. Half the city's police
force was detailed to handle throngs
such as never had assembled here
before.

cident Sunday.

MACON, Ga, Oct. 3. U.P>-W. L.
(Young) Stribling, colorful heavy
weight boxer who at one time was
near the top of his class, died to-
day. He succumbed to injuries re-
ceived in motor accident Sunday
after courageous fight to live.
Death came at 6 a. m. EST. He
had been at the point of death all
night.
Stribling was % years old, but
had engaged in more than 300 ring
battles. He reached his peak in 1881
when he fought Max Schmeling,

and MA" Stribling were at the
bedside. PA" was his trainer and
manager; Ma Georgia farm wo-
man, supervised the cooking in her
sons many training camps, and
was known to the readers of all
sports pages.
Stribling was returning to Macon
from the Idle Hour golf club on his
motorcycle Sunday. R. V. Johnson,
motorist, swerved his car to avoid
collision with another machine,
just as Stribling was attempting to
pass. Stribling was side-swiped and
the fender of JohnSon's car almost
severed his left foot at the ankle
At Macon hospital the foot was
amputated. His left leg was found
to be mangled and his pelvis bro
ken. At first physicians thought he
had an even chance to survive, but
last night he began sinking rapidly.
His wife, Clara, still confined in
the same hospital where she gave
birth to a son less than two weeks
ago, was taken to her husband
room and stayed until the end. They
have two other children.

Clara left the room about 5 a. m.
to attend to their baby, and Strib-
ling raised his arms above his head,
his last movement, as she walked
out the door. She returned to his
bedside soon.

greater fortitude in standing the
strain since Sunday than have
PA" and the Kidneys, finally broke
down as he died The family re-
manned in the room for sometime
after his death.

med with friends and thousands OF
kilograms and floral offerings had
come from all parts of the country

CIAL, En- Route New York, Oct. 3.
W.P)-Grave international problems
involving the possibility of Cuban
intervention occupied the attention
of President Roosevelt as he headed
eastward today from Chicago.
Although gratified by the nation
wide reaction to his American Le-
gion speech that laid down the
principle of ono privileges" for the
veteran, the chief executive was
more eager to hear from the state
department the latest developments
in the new crisis on the island re-
public.
While MIR. Roosevelt has had
brief telephone communication with
Secretary of State Hull he was
anxious to reach his desk in New
York to obtain complete details of

That address will be review of
the work being done for unemploy-
