About Politics
I will say no more along
these lines because, as I have
written many times, nothing
but trouble ever comes Of a re-
Igious discussion in a daily
column. A discussion Of the
political situation, however, can
do no harm. So we'll proceed
along those lines:
The modern history Of Jeru-
salem begins on the day that
General Allenby captured the
city from the Turks back in De
cember, 1917. That ended al
most four centuries of apathetic
rule on the part of the Turks
and paved the way for English
jurisdiction over Palestine.
All this happened practically
in conjunction with the Earl Of
Balfour's famous pronounce
ment in favor Of Zionlsm.
Briefly, that all-important state
ment read as follows:
Ellis majesty's government
views with favor the establish.
ment in Palestine of a national
home for the Jewish people,
and will use their best endeavors
to facilitate the achievement Of
that object, it being understood
that nothing shall be done
which may prejudice the civil
and religious rights of existing
non-Jewish communities in Pal
estine or such rights enjoyed
by the Jews in any other coun-
try"
The Arabs resented that
policy the very first day, and
they have resented it ever
since.
"Look here" they cry, "see
what is happening to us? The
Jews are taking our lands and
leaving us nothing. The British
have always favored the Jew
and they are doing it today.
We are being pushed out Of our
own territory bit by bit. Some
thing will have to be done
about this"

his twentieth year and I must rec ognize he cannot go on forever.
 What I mean is that I think the impression of Ruth should always be one of greatness on the ball field, of a batsman feared by every pitcher; not the memory of an eld- erly, heavyset man who was final ly forced to step down and out.
 You ask whether there is any possibility of Ruth going to an- other club, like the Red Sox, to manage the team? All I can say is no one has approached me on the matter and have given it no thought. Times have changed and the days of an $80,000 salary, even for another Ruth, are gone, but so long as the Babe is happy with us and producing home runs, I am happy too. I think millions, like myself, still get their biggest thrill out of seeing home runs break up a ball game"

In any conversation with Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the subject of one of his favorites, Babe Ruth, is like ly to crop up. I found the colonel in no way reluctant to discuss it.
 We had talked about the days
 when Ruppert's main sporting hob
 by was horse-racing, his favorite
 horse, the renowned Gotham and his pet jockey Snapper" Garri- son.
 One of the greatest that ever lived" said the Colonel. Knew more than many trainers. He rode
 several great races for me"
 My pride has always been in having the best" went on the man who now owns the world champion
 Yankees and has invested some thing like $10,000,000 in this richest
 baseball enterprise. T wanted my
 horses to win and was never sat-
 isfied until the Yankees won more world series games in succession
 than any other team in baseball history.
 T wanted Eu1iI because he was baseball's greatest hitter and I paid
 more for him than any other ball player He far exceeded our expec-
 tations. He is still great but it is Imy hope that the Babe will know enough to retire before he goes too far down the hill Of course hope he can continue to give the Yam kees his best as hitter for one or maybe two more years. But this is

What Ruth Really Cost


 It has never been generally known and it was not disclosed at the time but the fact is that the &C., quisition of Ruth cost Colonel Rup- pert the astounding sum of $450,- 900!
 The explanation is that before Harry Frazee, then owner of the Red Sox, would accept a flash cash offer of s125 ,OOO for the Babe, he (Frazee) had to dispose of a $325, 900 mortgage on the Ameri- can League park in Boston.
 Colonel Ruppert's partner at the time, Col. T. L, Huston, was disin- clined to participate so Ruppert finally took over the mortgage. He still has it and he's satisfied it was a good investment, on all counts.

KELLEY TELLS
OF WARNINGS
BY kIDNAPERS

OAKLAND, Can't, Dec. 7. UP
Although he expressed belief that
kidnap threats directed against his
two children were the work OF
cranks, Chaplain Leslie c.. Kelley
who recently resigned from the
state athletic commission, today re-
quested police to maintain a guard
at his home.
When Rev. Kelley resigned from
the athletic body, he announced he
took the action to protest the stand
of Governor James Rolph, Jr., in
the San Jose lynching.
Several telephone calls to the
Kelley home, the first received o
week ago, threatened his daughter
and son, aged II and 10.
I'm going to make you suffer for
your treatment of Governor Rolph,
the voice declared. You are going
to know what it feels like having
your own children kidnapped. Then
We'll see what you think about
lynching.'
Rev. Kelley said he us sure that
ransom did not figure in the threats
as he was "only a poverty stricken
priest"
Mrs. Kelley, a substitute school
teacher here, was reported near
collapse from worry. One of the
children, it was said, is i'll with
pneumonia.

FAST TRAINS
WILL BE USED
ON BIG BRIDGE

SACRAMENTO, Dec. T. U.P) -
Practically noiseless, streamlined
trains capable of travelling 70 or
more miles an hour will operate be-
tween San Francisco and Oakland
when the new bay bridge is COM
pleted, according to plans revealed
today by Earl Lee Kelly, director of
the state department of public
works.
The trains will travel from the
heart of San Francisco to the heart
of Oakland in nine minutes, main
tanning a 60-mile speed across the
bridge, he said. Platforms at the
terminals will be built flush with
the car floor level, in order that
passengers may stream on and off
swiftly, without having to climb OF
descend steps. Automatic blocks
and signal control will permit un-
diminished speed even during heavy
fOgS.
Speedy transportation, he pointed
out, will be necessary to handle the
expected peak loads of 10000 per-
sons in 80 minutes.
The trains, similar in structure to
modern, fast European trains, will
be the very latest in design and
comfort.

IN BODY OF
SLAIN WOMAN

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Dec. 7.
WP)-The states case against Carl
w. Wickman, druggist, was con-
fused today by announcement OF
discovery of poison sufficient to
have caused her death in the body
of Wickman's fourth wife, Mrs.
Donald Chicoine Wickman.
According to the philanderins
druggists purported confession,
which he now repudiates, Wickman
slew his fourth wife by hitting her
on the head with tire iron and
running his car over her body to
make it appear that she had been
killed by hit and run driver.
On the basis ct his alleged con-
fession Wickman was arraigned and
charged with first degree murder.
He pleaded not guilty.
District Attorney T. j. Marby said
that the state has sufficient evil
dence to send Wickman to the cleo
trio chair despite his reputation
of the confession credited to him.
Two other former wives of Wick
man died mysteriously. The death
of his third bride, Mrs. Marie Burns
Wickman, at Holbrook, Ariz., in
1881, it was believed had been under
investigation by authorities there.

present at least, have discontinued
their investigation into the death
of bjc second wife Mrs RhOQ2

BUTTERMILK'S
SALE TOLD IN
CLINE HEARING

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 7. U.p)
Testimony that she sold glass
of buttermilk to A. L. Cline, accused
of robbing Martin Frame, elderly
Los Angeles man, through the use
of poison. was given today by
Marie Brown, waitress in a Railto
cafe, at Cline's trial in superior
court.
Miss Browns testimony served to
substantiate the story told yester-
day by Frame that Cline had offer
ed him buttermilk at the end of a
motor trip from Los Angeles. Frame
said he lost consciousness and re-
covered in a Doctors office to learn
$24O was missing from his pocket.
The waitress recalled the butter
milk transaction because, she said
it was the only glass of the bever-
age she sold while working in the
cafe, and because Cline asked for IA
spoon.
The testimony also fixed the
question of jurisdiction, as provid-
ing the alleged offense occurred in
San Bernardino county.
Cline's arrest precipitated a
lengthy inquiry into the deaths OF
his wife, brother in-law and two
elderly friends, all of whom be-
queathed him their wealth. The
deaths were officially attributed to
heart attacks.
