HOLLYWOOD, April 20 G.N.S).
The film colony today had another
two of it's periodically recurring
impromptu boxing affairs to gossip
about.
This time Grant Withers, the
actor, and Joe Egli, an assistant
director, were the victims, accord

spectators to investigate the af-
fair.

Mr.. Withers told the deputies
this as they took him home to
bed, the worse for wear, but he
refused to prosecute, and no
search was made for Mr.. Ben
Jamin, former fighter and fight
manager.
Mr.. Egli, officers said, told them
the row started when Mr., With
ers invited some friends to his
nome during gay party at a
night club and Mr.. BENJAMIN
MADE some sarcastic remarks. Mr..
Egli said:
"Withers left, Benjamin fol-
lowed and when Withers
reached home Benjamin hit
him on the jaw and knocked
him down. 1 managed to pull
Benjamin off and when I did
ne swung at me. He hit me on
the cheek, but the blow didn't
amount to anything and 1 pin-

CHAMBER HEARS
RECOVERY PLAN
DEFENDED
MIRA Aide Tells Meeting Alpha
beticaI Units Are Neces-
Sary to Revival

Administration spokesman went
to bat for the alphabetical re-
covery program today before
delegates for the twenty-third
annual convention of the United
States Chamber of Commerce
Three of themJPrentiss Coon
ley, NRA code administration
director; Executive Secretary
Leon c. Marshall of the MIRA
board, and AAA Administrator
Chester c.. Davis-told several
hundred members of the chamber
at it's opening meeting that these
agencies are indispensable if the
country is to find its way back
to normal.
Tracing the history of the trade
association, Mr.. Coonley, who is
also vice president of the Wal
worth Company of New York, as
serted that the problem of over
production has always confronted
industry from the days of the
medieval guild down to the pres
ent.
Self regulation is the safest and
surest way to find the way to re-
covery, according to Mr.. Coonley,
who said:
But we mustn't expect too
much. Many industries are not
out Of the mud pie and paper
doll class yet. We must have
discipline and regulatory super
vision until trade increases and
normal business conditions pre-
vail once more"
At the first business session of
the National Councillors of the
Chamer, Providence, R. l., was
awarded the title of the safest
city in the country from a fire
prevention standpoint by Paul B.
SommerS, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters and
president of the American Insur-
ance Company, of Newark, N. j.
The award was made in con-
junction with the problem launched
by the United States Chamber of
Commerce II years ago to reduce
the nations fire waste.
Philadelphia led all cities of
over 100000 population in it's
record of firve prevention for 1884.
Baltimore, Milwaukee, Detroit St.
Louis and Pittsburgh were run
nesr-up in this class.
Confirming reports current for
some months, Henry I. Hartman,
president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, today told
The Times that he will not seek
reelection to office.
Mr.. Hartman volunteered no
explanation for his decision not to
seek continuation as chamber
chief for a fourth consecutive
yearly term. It has been currently
interpreted as an expression of a
conservative trend among mem
bers of the chamber.

LEESBURG, Va, April 20.
"Old Tom" Quisenberry, the one
eyed mountain moonshiner who
boasts he never misses what he
aims his rifle at, won a victory
today in the first round of his
fight to escape the electric chair
when the indictment charging him
with the murder of Corporal C. J..
McClary, an Alexandria police
man, was QuaShed.
AS soon as this action was
taken, however, a special grand
jury of five men was impaneled by
Judge j. R. H. Alexander, and
went into session Immediately and
it is expected new true bill will
be returned this afternoon.
QuiSenberry, who is also charged
with shooting deral Agent
George Kirkpatrick, was returned
to his cell in the county jail pend
ing this action.
Court House Packed
The little old court house here
was packed to capacity today,
when Quesenberry was led in to
go to trial for his life, Common
wealth's Attorney John Galleher
having announced he would de-
mand the death penalty.
The grizzled old mountaineer
was calm as he walked into the
court room, dressed in a blue
coat, blue shirt open at the
throat and yellow corduroy trou-
sers, with heavy hobnailed shoes.
There was a CLEAN in his one
eye as he saw on the counsel
table the long-barreled rifle that
the State charges he used to
wound Agent Kirkpatrick on
March 16, the start of the Gov
ernment's great drive against
crime throughout the country,
and the following day to kill
Corporal McClary, a member of
the posse pursuing him.
Agent in Court
Agent kirkpatrick, still pale
from the effects of the gunshot
wound, was sitting in the court
room but the two men did not
speak.
AS the court opened Defense
Attorney Stilson H. Hall sprang a
surprise. Virginia law, he stated,
requires that there be 48 names
on the grand jury panel, while

there was only At on the panel
which returned the true bill.
AS a second point, he charged
that the petit jury, selected to
hear the trial, was illegally selected
in that the three jury commits
Sloners had failed to subscribe to
their oath of office.
After consultation with the
attorneys, Judge Alexander agreed
to quash the indictment and or
dered the new grand jury drawn
at once.
Will Pick New Jury
Three new jury commissioners
also will be named and a new
petit jury selected. This will take

A posse was organized and

as posse surrounded him.
QueSenberry admitted he had
served several jail terms and that

many years. He comes from an

said.

OFEENSES SHOULD BE
MADE TREASON" SAYS
(Copyripbt. 1895. United Press)

BERLIN, Aug. 8. (UP).-Ger-
many's campaign against "enemies
of the state"-Jews, confessional
front Catholics and Protestants,
Stamlhelm war veterans and Com
munists-stiffened yesterday with
demands for the death penalty for
all opponents of the Nazi regime.
Advocating that 'offenses against
the state should be termed Urea
son against the people, Roland
Freisler, under-secretary in the
ministry of justice, urged the most
drastic penalties yet contemplated
in the Third Reich. His expression
carried no official weight but some
saw it as the logical elimination
of recent trends,
Writing in the Deutsche Juris-
ten Zeitung Freisler suggested the
new criminal code now under
preparation should contain as an
innovation the treason against
the people" conception.
Grimes of this kind (anything
not in accord with strict Nazi
principles)," he said, SHOULD be
considered more heinous even than
treason against the state"
"The Nazi movement and its Of
ficers must be protected against
anti-Nazi attacks" Freisler said.
"The Nazi movement is the main
institution of new Germany.
"The majority of cases of trea-
son against the people should be
punished by death. The minimum
penalty should provide for outlaw
ing offenders"
Intensification of the Nazi cam
paign against Jews and Catholics
was forecast by Major Gen. Kurt
Daluege, commander of Prussian
police.
The Nazi regime will use all in
struments at it's command against
Catholics antagonistic to national
socialism, Robert Wagner, Staath-
alter (Reich commissioner for
Baden asserted last night.

There will be a decided pickup in

Mr.. Roosevelt estimated that

COUNCIL FEELS IT
AVERTS NEW WAR
BY WALLACE CARROLL
Copyright, 1895, United Press)

GENEVA, Aug. 3. (UP).-Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini's aim to re-
vive the Roman Empire got past
the despairing League of Nations
council last night with British,
French and Italian acceptance of
a draft resolution forestalling
league intervention for at least
another month. ,,f
Ethiopia accepted the hard won
but feeble formula for saving the
league and making the council
feel it has ayerted war, which cam
not break out until September any
way because of the rainy season
in Africa.
Mussolini accepted all but the
most important point--a time linn
it for tri-power negotiations out
side the league framework.
The plan which French Premier
Pierre Laval and British Secretary
for League Affairs r. Anthony
Eden drafted after achieving a
"Franch- British united front" was
to be submitted for council adop-
ton today unless it is thrown down
by Ethiopia. It provides:
For a council declaration ia
voring resumption of arbitration
of the Ual Ual border clash on
the basis of the Italian thesis
that frontier delimitations cannot
be discussed.
2-For a council resolution call
ing for another session September
4 to examine the entire Italo-Ethi-
opian situation.
3-For a joint Franco-British
declaration to the council that ne
gotiations to settle the entire
problem will be started by France,
Italy and Britain as signatories to
the 1905 treaty recognizing Eth
opia's sovereignty.
HOW SCORE STANDS
IN DIPLOMACY
The score for council negotia-
tons:
Italy gains satisfaction in two
particulars, that arbitration will

solini's contentious and that three
power discussions be conducted en-

ANGEL WOULD LEAD
DIVISIONS IN PERSON

FRANKLIN, Aug. 3.-Zeb An

three foreign wars, cabled Emper-
or Halle Selassie, of Ethiopia,
early Friday morning an offer to
raise two divisions of Southern
negroes to be used in defense OF
the African kingdom against pros
pective Italian invasion. Mr.. An
gel said he plans to personally
lead the divisions if the offer is
accepted.
He offered to attempt to raise
by popular subscription funds TO
equip the troops with machine
guns, rifles, and gas masks, if the
emperor will supply ships to trans
port the men from Norfolk, Va.
Mr.. Angel, business manager OF

eral times he had occasion to en-
ter eastern Ethiopia while in the
French service. He said he is in
timately acquainted with the eli

ged Ethiopian plateau.
While still in his teens he left
the University of North Carolina,
