Veteran Judge Has Pared Badly With
 Striking Farmers
Iowa Ters of the Soil Are at White Heat Over FOre- closure of Mortgages-Judge Who Backed Up Foreclosure Is Not Given Very Good Treatment

hearing. His head was swathed in bandages as the result of the fight at Primghar.
 What's your name" Judge Brad ley demanded.
 I'm Morris Cope. of Kingsley, Ia," he replied. He started to speak but after several words Judge Bradley cut him short.
 At that moment several farmers siezed the jurist and pulled him from the courtroom. They dragged him past the sheriff's office.
 Five men wearing blue bandanas across their faces took charge out side the courthouse. They attempt ed to force the judge to promise mot to sign a foreclosure on an- other Iowa farm"
 T cant do that" Bradley an- swered. He was knocked to the ground. Other attempts to force him to take the oath failed, and he was beaten again.
 A truck was pulled up and Brad ley was thrown into 1t.
 One of the attackers produced a greasy blue handkerchief and blindfolded the judge. Sixty oth- CT farmers joined the caravan as 1t StarLeQ dWdys
 Half q mile from the city Bradley was jerked from the truck. One farmer took a hub-cap from a truck and placed 1t on the judges head. Black grease streamed down the jurist's face. A moose was thrown about his neck and over pole. Several farmers pulled the judge from the ground and held the rope taut for moment. Then they low cred him.
 After Bradley was revived. new demands for his promise were made. Bradley still defed the angry crowd. The farmers com- manded Bradley to pray.
 "T'll do that gladly" he replied.
 Still blindfolded and with his face black with dirt and grease. the judge knelt in the dust and prayed:
 "Oh, Lord. pray thee do justice to all men,"
 Silence followed. For the first time hte mob lost it's nerve. The masked men rushed to an automo- bile and drove away. A minister picked up Bradley and brought him to Le Mars.

 The night. life of Paris, London, Berlin. or New York Is no more wild than that of Shanghai, the gayest city or the faf east.
 From darkness to dawn one IS never at a loss for q place to dine. dance and frolic. Shangha' abounds in night clubs and caba- rets. Called the Paris of the Ori- ent," Shanghai gives free rein to all indulgences. .oo
 New York night life in It's 1928 and 1929 zenith never reached the tempo of Shanghai's frenzied frollc. New. York hot spots would have 10 step up their tempo to compete against Shanghai's nightly retreats
 Shanghai's abundant night clubs make for keen competition. on the Rue du Consulat, in the Frencn concession. there is q short street called Rue Chu-Pao-San with more cabarets per square foot than any other spot in the world. lncandes- cents twinkle above every doorway

CHARLES ISLAND
 RETREATANTS
Smoker in Mulcahy Hall Last Night Proved
 Great Success
PLANS FOR SUNDAY

The smoker and entertainment in Mulcahy Memorial Hall last night under auspices of the Charles Island Retreatant band of Water bury was largely attended. AS the program implied, 1t partook of q social as well as Q religious form, so that the audience was in a happy mood from the opening to the close. Attorney Vincent Miller acted as toastmaster and handled the gavel in manner which showed he had ability in that di- rection.
 A feature of the meeting was the reference by Father Baxter to Bishop Milan, whose twenty-third anniversary was observed yester- day. the speaker remarking briefly on the great work he has done In the diocese and expressing the hope that he will be spared for many years to come.
 The toastmaster called atten- ton to the deceased members Peter Cassidy and Edward J. Finn, the audience giving the responses standing, while Father Baxter of- fered prayer for the happy re- pose of their souls.
 or course, something happened not down on the program. This occurred when Edward Egan spoke for Washington Hill mem- bers of the organization and 1aud- : ed Joseph Hayden for his efforts in getting members for Charles Is- land and his deligent work as bell ringer at the outing on the Island last year. Mir Hayden rang the bell promptly on all occas' ions except one, when 1t devel- oped that somebody had cut the rope and the visitors were late Tor dinner. Mir Egan said that blame for this was placed on John Fitz- maurice. but he did not believe MI Fitzmaurice would be guilty oi such an offense. Mir Fitzmaurice who was in the audience, was about to resent the imputation but decided to keep silent and re- sort to other means of redress. MT Hayden was made the recipient of q nice pipe. which he accepted in q modest address.
 A letter was read from Rev Francis Sugrue of Bridgeport re- gretting inability to be present.
 Ralph Hayward. assistant prin' cipal of Crosby school, who at- tended the outing last year, gave q short talk. Speaking as non- Catholic, MT Hayward said he de- sired to express his appreciation of the reception accorded him and also to state how much he en- joyed his visit to Charles Island MT Hayward recited Q poem. end was given big hand. The rest of the program was substantiali, the same as announced in thii paper last night. The speakers included: Rev E. A. Baxter. direc. tor of the retreat. Rev Francis M O'Shea. Rev Francis Sugrue ol Bridgeport, Judge John O'Meara of New Haven, Rev Richard r Morrissey of Union City and Johf G. Gilmartin.
 The committee in charge of ar engagements consisted of William Nolan, Thomas Luddy. John |. McGough, M. J. Lynch. T. Carney and J. F. White.
 Entertainment consisted O. songs by William O'Brien. William Clasby and Steven O'Brien; ant selections by the Derwin orches tra.
 Much praise was given to Johr White and those associated witt tho great work they have ac complished for the retreat move ment in Waterbury. The loco band will attend holy communicf in a body at the Immaculate Con ception church next Sunday at th' f,'ci0ck mass.

Le Mars, Ia, April 28-(UP)-- Iowa farmers revolt against mort gage forecl, ;ures was at white heat to-day after two attempts of masked men to hang a judge whom they dragged from his courtroom.
 The veteran jurist, Judge c. C.. Bradley. was beaten, mauled, smearcd with grease and grime, and jerked from the ground by A moose as 150 vengeful farmers shouted their protests against his foreclosure activities. The judge, past 60, was recovering at his home to-day.
 Oniy a prayer for divine guid- ance which Judge Bardley uttered as he knelt in the dust of a coun- try road saved his life, witnesses said.
 Sheriff Ralph F. Rippey of Ply mouth county, who himself was to threats of violence and hanging, couldn't be reached at his home or office. tOher authorities regarded the attacks on Judge Bradley and sheriff Rippey as the first open revolution in the srnoul- dering corn belt resentment against foreclosures. They expressed fears that attempts to arrest the attack CTS would lead to bloodshed.
 The violence began shortly after non yesterday at Primghar, Ia, about 50 miles northeast. of Le Mars. Deputy sheriffs who had been sent to obtain order at foreclos- ure sale were overcome and beat en. The farmers then marched to a farm near Le Mars where fam- fly had defied district and supreme court orders to surrender its prop erty.
 A group of the militant farmers appeared at the home of Clarence Becker, declared by the court to be owner of tho property. Farmers seized the sheriff and Becker, and carried them to the town ball park. Shouts of Hang them" were heard Rippey talked at length with the farmers and succeeded in persuad- ing them to release him and Beck CT, after which both disappeared. The mob then started for the courtroom of Judge Bradley, who presided at hearings in both the Becker and Prighar cases. Judge Bradley was on the bench One of the intruders demanded
