LONDON, September 8 Sunday
@.-The newspaper Sunday Referee
today printed a story on high au-

the marriage Of former King Alfonso
and former Queen Victoria Eugenia of
Spain. The newspaper said the an
nulment had been handed down in
the Holy Roman Rots, q procedure
which excludes publicity in any form.
The belief was expressed by the
paper that the former Queen will con-
tinue to live in London.
The Illustrated News published an
article saying 1t was understood by
its correspondent Reynolds that the
annulment had been effected several
months ago, but that elaborate pre-
cautions to insure secrecy had pre-

GOLD BOND SALE

Illinois Securities Law Held
in Conflict With

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, September T.
Bonds pledging payment in gold,
even though the pledge is limited by
the hedging clause" sanctioned by
the Securities and Exchange Commits
sion, cannot be qualified for sale in
Illinois so long as Federal law makes
payment in gold impossible.
This was the essence of an opinion
given Secretary of State Edward ].
Hughes, whose Office inforces the Illi-
nois security act, oy Attorney General
Otto Kerner today.
Hughes had been asked to permit
the sale in Illinois Of refunding bonds
issued by an Eastern utility. These
bonds carry the title, First and Re-
funding Mortgage, 5 per Cent Gold
Bonds"
Such designation Is permitted by
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission. provided there is also car
ried the so-called hedging clause, "
which permits paymens of the bonds
lin any coin or currency which at
the time Of payment is legal tender
for public and private debts"
The hedging clause IS, the attor-
ney general said, in conflict with the
Illinois securities act. which provides
that mo security shall be sold or
offered for sale, and no prospectus,
advertisement, circular and document
circulated, published or distributed
for the purpose of effecting sales Of

u. S. PLEDGES QUIZ
AS NAz|S PROTEST
insult" BY JUDGE
Luther Told Lehman Will
Be Asked to Make
Report.
BRODSKY'S REMARKS IN
BREMEN CASE INVOLVED
Berlin Objects to Comments of
Jurist Who Dismissed Anti
Nazi Riot Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A second protest from the German
government resulted yesterday from
the July riot in which the Nazi flag
was ripped from the mast of the
Bremen-this one because of remarks
attributed to the New York City
magistrate who freed five men in
volved in the melee.
Like the other, the State Depart
ment promised to investigate. Yes
terday's protest was made by Ambas-
sador Hans Luther under instructions
from the German foreign office He
protested to the department orally
against what German officials consid-
cred an unwarranted insult"
The Ambassador discussed the ques-
ton with Secretary Hull for nearly
an hour and declined any comment
as he left the department.
State Department officials later let
1t be known that the Secretary had
assured the Ambassador that Gov.
Herbert Lehman of New York would
be asked for an immediate report. No
answer Is expected until some time
this week.
BrOdsky's Comments.
The understanding here was that
Ambassador Luther objected to re-
marks about the Nazi flag that were
attributed to Magistrate Louis B.
Brodsky.
The magistrate spoke Of opinions
held by the defendants and others
of our citizenry" that the Nazi flag
flying in American territory had been
provocatiOn for the riot.
He said some citizens appeared to
have been provoked through "haunt-
ing of an emblem which symbolizes
all that is antithetical to American
ideals Of the God-given and inalien-
able right of all peoples to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
Brodsky also was quoted as express
ing views held by "others" that "the
prominent display Of this emblem even
carried with it the same sinister i'm
plications as a pirate ship, sailing
defiantly into the harbor of q nation,
one of whose ships it had just scuttled,
with the black flag Of piracy proudly
flying aloft."
While the German government
made no reference to the freeing Of
the five men charged with having
torn down the Bremen's flag and
thrown it in the Hudson River. 1t was
said the New York magistrates re-
marks could not be overlooked.
Germany protested against the in
suit to the flag Immediately after the
Bremen riot occurred. Acting Secre-
tary of State Phillips replied that the
steamship line officials failure to CO.
operate with the police after warn
ings of possible demonstration had
been largely responsible for the riot.
1t was pointed out here that Mag
istrate Brodsky is a municipal, and
not Federal official. and not sub
ject to control by the President or
State Department. Foreign govern
ments. however, do not draw such
distinctions.
Brodsky said yesterday at stam-
ford, Conn. that so far as he was
concerned the case was closed.
