brushed all this aside and
demanded that I be presented
with formal charge for my
arrest. He Smirked:
Don't you worry. A charge
will be found, but that will be
so much the worse for you.
Let us settle matters amicably.
Some important considerations
demand that we be fully in
formed of everything that is
going on in your consulate. Our
present sources of information
are not satisfactory and you
will have to help u.s."
He said that his department
had caught group of spies
whom they had long suspected
and that all the evidence pointed
definitely at the consulate. It
was imperative, he repeated, that
they receive positive information
as to whether it was the con-

This turn of events was ut
terly unexpected and I realized
that even had 1 been willing I
would not have been able to
assist him. Troitsky said:
"Do not forget that when
we arrest a foreigner we do
not fail to have on file enough
evidence to justify such action"
He supplemented this state
ment with the assertion that he
was in possession of a signed con-
fession by one of the arrested
spies to the effect that the latter
had called on me in connection
with his work.
This was ridiculous. Never had
I had any connection with any
foreign intelligence department
and no spy had ever called on me.

young man called on me at my
office. He introduced himself as
Troitsky, an official of the OGPU,
in charge of the Finnish section,
and openly proposed that I be-

OF the Finnish trade delegation.
He said that he had selected me
because his agents had described
me as cool and careful in my

Italian Consul liked

NEW YORK CAMP - Prince
Guido CoInna, Italian vice consul,
was irked by the appearance of the
large number Of Negroes and
whites who gathered in the court
room Of Magistrate Samuel Katz
here, Tuesday, when Mrs. Julia
Church Kolar and Mrs. Jane Craik
Speed, members Of two prominent
white families, faced trial on char
ges Of hurting ink in the face of
the Italian official. The trial was
postponed when the defendants
asked for more time to assemble
their counsel.
The charges grew out Of visit
on the part of the women to the
Italian consulate here to protest
against the activities of Premier
Mussolini in Ethiopia last week.
According to the charges by the
Italian vice consul, the women, re-
presenting the American League
Against War and Facism, became
enraged when he refused to agree
with them and in their anger they
threw Ink in his face.
Interest in the trial, due to the
many supporters of the cause In
which the two women were foster
ing, as well as the prominence of
the defendants, was indicated by
the crowd Of citizens Of both races
that packed the courtroom when
the case was called. The postpone
ment Of the cast, by Magistrate
Katz, drew the disapproval of the
consul for the complainant, espec-
tally since it had been announced
that in addition to Attorney JOS

End of the Earth Seen
According to Prophecy

According to DIR. Fritz Zwicky. a
physicist associate of DIR. Robert A.
Millikan, discoverer of cosmic rays,
the Bible prophecy that "the earth
shall melt with fervent heat" is
strictly scientific and is the destined
end of our whole solar system. None
of us now present need feel alarmed
about it, as it may not occur for
many millions of years, possibly bill
lions. But once In thousand years
some sun-to us only point of light
in the sky-has suddenly blazed up
and then gradually disappeared. This
Is believed to be the result of an
explosion, releasing the interior heat,
estimated in our own sun to be an
intensity of 3O,000,O00 degrees. In
the case of our sun that would mean
the instant conversion of all the
planets and all upon them, If any,
into gas and the disappearance of
our entire solar system. That is
what happened to such suns and
solar systems, If they had any, which
thus ended their careers during the
past cons of time.
Such exploding suns are known as
supernovas, an ordinary nova being
a new star, not new in fact but new
to our vision. Doctor Zwicky says
that astronomers are in expectation
of such phenomenon occurring
near the Virgo universe by 1887, and
are keenly on the watch for it. II
is tentative theory that cosmic rays
are created or released by exploding
suns and if this phenomenon actually
occurs on time much more about thai
ray may be learned.
OF course, the year in which we oh
served it would not be the date OF
the actual explosion, since for us to
see it now would require that it hap
pened many thousands of years ago,
so long does it take for light to reach
the earth from such mathematical
distances.
The mere discussion of such an
event and mention of the great lapse
