 Appeal Futile
 It was only after court was over, while Hackerman was being pho- tographed and fingerprinted that a friend of his wife's came in to tell police of the baby born Sunday night and to ask if the lad could not be released, at least for awhile. Newspapermen heard his story and sent him to see the judge, but the law makes no exceptions. Hack erman had waived examination. had been bound over; nothing could be done unless the bond was raised.
 The young father prepared this morning to go to the county jail. knowing that in the little home where were his wife and baby that food must be low and money al- most gone. And in the home, the girl who looked scarcely old enough to be wife and a mother, held tightly to the baby that it's father has not even seen.

His collection was unique; his knowledge of such magnitude that he presided at the opening of the Byzantine congress in Belgrade as an expert.
 Alexander's daily schedules were always vigorously observed. He devoted part of each day to official matters. audiences, and to ride motor or play tennis with his queen. Evenings in the palace were frequently devoted to private showings of motion pictures in a small theater built inside the pail ace.
 Dictatorship.
 Belgrade, Jugoslavia. Oct 9-(U P)-Jugoslavia probably will be ruled by a military dictatorship in the name of Prince Petar, successor to the throne, 1t was believed to- day.
 Whether the country can be kept from civil war depends entire ly on the ability of the military to oppose the minority racial elements such as the Croats and Slovenes. who oppose rule by the Serbians.

 Ambition Dies With Him
 The young king realized that a national consciousness was most necessary for Yugoslavia, a part of the fiery Balkan states. He mulled over the ways in which this consciousness might be fomented. Italy, to the south, was suddenly subjected to the discipline of Be- nito Mussolini, and apparently. was progressing under that dictator.
 In January, 1929. Alexander act- ed boldly. He announced the new constitutoin had been abrogated and all political parties suppressed. He planned temporary dictator ship.
 The next year, Alexander and his prime minister, General Zhiv- kovitsch, decided to continue the experiment. The first act was to abolish territorial divisions, and to divide the nation into nine banats, or provinces. In each banat, the dictator king placed a lieutenant governor, responsible only to the throne, and removable at the kings will.
 Loved His Soldiers
 Alexander's first love was sold- very. His only other hobby was the collection of old Slav and Bly, zantine frescoes, paintings and other art works.
 His research in these fields car- ried him back to the 18th century.

 What can the president oppose to the will of the capitalistic class ?"
 Wells suggested that there were many capitalists and scientific workers who were concerned with the advancement of society as well as profit, Stalin answered.

|IVSULL TO HEAR . EVIDENCE BY THE
 TON AGAINST HIM
Government Has Forty People to Tell of Their
 Fortunes Wiped Out

Chicago, Oct g. -(UP)-Govern- ment prosecutors today began pie turing the crash of the Insult util- ities empire for the jury that will decide if Samuel Insull and 16 as- sociates are guilty of a $143,0Ov.- 900 mail fraud. Forty men and women were summoned to tell of the loss of fortunes, wiped out when the $2.000,0O0, 900 Insult util- ity chain fell. They told of glitter ing prospectuses, promising fat re- turns from stock of the Corpora ton Securities company, Jewels of the Insult empire" and then of the days when value of the stock plum. meted downward with every hour.
 The government charges that the stock was not worth the price at which it was held. The Corpora tion Securities company, govern ment attorneys charge, was a dumping ground for stock bought by the Insult group in holding up the market prices of stock in op- erating companies.
 Dwight H. Green, district attor- ney, said he planned to offer enough of this type of testimony to make an 'indelible impression on the jury which later must listen to some three months of intricate testimony on the finances of 75 corporations. He already has in- troduced and qualified a ton or more. of documentary evidence, consisting of ledgers and corrc- spondence of Insull firms. Y
 Government investigators sought unavailingly for six important doc uments which Green asserted yes- terday were missing from the files of Halsey, Stuart & Co, bond brok- CTS who handled Insult stock sales. Tthe papers disappeared, Green said, from vault in offices of the bond company in which they were impounded under federal court or der.
 Loss of the documents was dis covered while Harry Howard, au- ditor for the brokerage firm. was on the witness stand to identify papers to be used in the trial.

about sitting on the grass, about

For Peace Of Mind
If you're confident that your
clothes will plunge into the

come out looking fresher than
ever, then there's nothing to
bother about. If they can't be
washable, then they should be
easily dry cleaned, and of the

If you're going to q resort

an appearance, linen suits are
ideal, though we're apt to think
OF white flannels as classics for
smart resorts. You can have
your linen suits done up while
you're there II you haven't
enough to last through.
Cotton Stacks Good
Washable cotton slacks are
fine for golf or tennis. They
are replacing flannels at many
Of the warmer resorts. They're
good to have at seaside resorts,
too. as they won't be ruined in
those aforementioned leaky
boats, or when the spray comes

There's often q dampneSS at

The old theme Of white ducks
for tennis was not so far wrong.
We hear little about ducks ex-
cept in the Navy, or among
younger boys these days, be-
cause men have taken up white
linen with such enthusiasm, or
prefer flannel. But we've chung
to the idea Of comfort, which
was paramount in white duck.
Men now wear white Slacks
Of duck, flannel, or some sort Of
cotton suiting that is good for
trousers for tennis, and they
wear about the same thing, with
the variation Of flannel slacks,
for golfing.
But shorts are becoming more
and more popular, and threaten
to Supplant SlackS in many To-
caltieS. Shorts are usually of
gabardine or corduroy. The
gabardine shorts looks particu-
larly snappy because they often
have q colored stripe down the
side. They are stunning in
solid white, worn with a white
shirt and colored slipon sweater,
or with q white sweater banded
in color.
The corduroy slackS are most
popular on colors like brown or
navy, worn with white shirt and

sweater is necessary. They are
sometimes topped by a terry
