By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 10.-The golden
voice of Amelita Galli-Curci. world
famous operate soprano, trilled
through the operating room of Hen
rotin Hospital today as surgeons sue
cessfully removed 81 -ounce goiter.
Carefully, cautiously, as she sang,
DR.. Arnold Kegel, former city health
commissioner, cut away the potato"
which was thrusting against he art
lists trachea, forcing her beautiful
notes to detour around it.
Nearby an anatomical artist sketched
the various stages of the operation for
later study.
Hopeful for Voice.
While Drs. Kegel and 6, Raphael
Dunlevy would hazard no definite
comment on the final outcome of the
operation, they indicated they felt
little doubt that the superb quality of
her tones would be unimpaired.
Nine. Galli-Curci will only have
to adjust her voice to so per cent
increase in air volume she now will
have" said DR.. Kegel.
For is years presence of the goiter
on the right side of her throat had
been known to the singer. Five years
ago, in the full glory of her career,
the potato" as she termed the
growth, began to bother her. Only
by sheer will power was Galli-Curci
able to achieve its maximum volume.
Decides on Operation.

which she sang in 81 concerts, she

FIVE concerts and finally it was de-
cided in Japan that she should

TODEADLY SNAKE
State Begins Summation of
Dickinson Case by De-
nouncing 3 Women.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 10.-Prosecutor
Duncan c. McCrea described William
Lee Ferris as worse than a rattle
snake" today as closing arguments
were begun in the trial of the 26-year-
old hotel hanger-on and his three
women companions for the murder of
Howard Carter Dickinson.
"a rattlesnake at least rattleS before
It strikes" McCrea declared, referring
to the defendants statements that
they feigned friendship with the New
York attorney and then plotted during
a drunken strip poker" party with
him to kill him to obtain money to
finance tent show.
Ferris and the three former bur-
lesque house dancers have repudiated
the confessions, charging they were
made under duress.
Yawkey Claims Mentioned.
Dickinson, here in connection with
q claim against the S40,000,0 900 estate
of William H. Yawkey, was shot to
death the night of June 26 and his
body left in a deserted section of
Rouge Park.
The four said they scraped an ac-
uuaintance with him when the women
gave him the eye" as he sat in the
bar room of his hotel.
You intended to take his lie
McCrea accused Ferris. You intend
ed to kill him."
Turning to the women defendants,
the prosecutor pointed an accusing
finger at each.
And you, Florence Jackson, and
you, Loretta Jackson, and you, Jean
Miller, your finger was on that trigger,
too when the gun was fired that killed
Dickinson"
Robbery Held Motive.
McCrea told the jury that the sole
contention of the prosecution is that
Dickinson was murdered for the pur-
pose of robbery and that all four OF
the defendants were equally guilty
and should be sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, the maximum penalty in
Michigan.
Nicer told the jury that the
I
death of the attorney. Florence and
Loretta Jackson had intimated in
their testimony that Ferris was look
ing for some papers"
Testimony was completed today and
there were indications the case would
go to the jury Tuesday.
The defense closed its case with the
introduction of character witnesses for
the women.
Prosecution rebuttal witnesses de-
MED statements by Ferris that he was
beaten and kicked before he signed a
statement that he killed Dickinson in
an s134 robbery. Physicians who ex-
amined him after h confession was
taken testified his body showed no
marks of violence.

used to describe the operation. He
said it might even result in i'm
provement of the Incompatible voice.

Of line of the trachea, to rs per cent OF

pected to occur gradually over period

was afraid of the result in a State
which he carried in 1882 and which
James A. Farley, his political manager,
has claimed for him hands down
in 1886.
While technically it would be up to
Gov. Martin L. Davey of Ohio to say
whether there was to be special
election to fill the Truax vacancy. the
Republicans assumed the Governor
would be amenable to presidential
wishes in the matter.
The Governor, a Democrat, in a
recent speech at Toledo, irrevocably
threw in his lot with the President
and the New Deal Dismissing the
recent Federal charges against him as
a personal matter" between him and
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief Ad-
ministrator, the Governor predicted
that he and the President would ride
to victory together in 1886.
Prior to the Republican challenge
last night, there had been indications
that the New Deal hesitated to under
go the risk of a special election in
Ohio. Stephen M. Young, Ohio's
second Representative at Large, an un-
compromising New Dealer, tele-
graphed Gov. Davey against calling of
such a poll. Young has gone down
the line" for Mr.. Roosevelt on every
issue. not excepting the death SEN
tence" in the public utility holding
company bill.
Davey Believed Unwilling.
Unofficial intimations from Cclum-
bus were to the effect that Gov. Da-
vey was disinclined to call special
election, since it would entail an ex-
pense of S500,000 Meantime, George
H. Bender, prime mover of the recent
Republican regional conference at
Cleveland, declared himself a candi-
date for the Truax seat.
The Republicans indicated they
were not to be frustrated without &
struggle. Hilles. who conferred Fri
day with Henry P. Fletcher, chairman
of the Republican National Commit
tee, said:
THE unfortunate death of Mr..
Truax leaves vacancy in the posi-
ton of Representative at Large from
Ohio. Ohio is entitled to fill the va
cancy and, unless there is a regu-
lar election meantime. there would
seem to be no possible justification
for failing to call an election by
November so that the vacancy NAV
be filled prior to the session of
Congress that will convene in Tanu-
airy. That would give Ohio a full
quota of Representatives in Congress.
and, incidentally, it would be whole
some in that it would afford another
test of the public reaction to the ad-
ministration's policies. 1t is incon-
ceivable that the responsible nj tional
leaders of the Democratic party will
not join in urging that special elec-
ton should be held"
Reference to President.
The allusion to responsible national
leaders of the Democratic party" was
considered an obvious reference to
President Roosevelt Not only is Far
ley, Democratic national chairman, il,
Hawaii, but no responsible Democratic
leader would venture into the delicate
Ohio situation on behalf of the New
Deal without consulting the President.

Britain's immigration Gains.

More people are settling in Great
Britain than are leaving. Before the
World War, in a number of years,
British emigrants numbered between
100000 and 100000 year. When the
world crisis came in 1929 emigration
dropped. In 1881 the tide turned, and
Britain received many more than sent
out. Since then the inward flow has
continued. In 1888 it received nearly
$4,000 more migrants than left British
shores; in 1884 the inward flow was
nearly 81 900 a striking change from
the years when Britain lost some $780,
600 migrants a year. From sending
out 1000 a day it receives about 100

HilleS said 1t was in line with a Re-
publican spirit to welcome any test in
any State which would constitute a
showdown on the present sentiment on
the New Deal
The challenge comes at a rather
| iropportune time for the Democrats
| The Ohio Democratic party was split
wide open by the Roosevelt admins
tration's charges that the Davey po-
shaken down" firms which had busi-
ness dealings with the Federal Relief
Administration.
Gov. Davey was so angered by the
charges, Endorsed in effect by the
President, that he caused a warrant
| for criminal libel to be sworn out
against Hopkins. He ther challenged
Hopkins to venture into the State and
risk arrest.
Makes Peace With Hopkins.
While Hopkins wanted to go right
in and defy the Governor, cooler heads
in the Democratic party dissuaded him
for the sake of party harmony. Men,
bers of the Ohio Democratic congress
sional delegation were greatly dis
turbed over the alteration. They felt
it would be bound to weaken the
chances of the party III the campaign
next year. 1t was after party peace
makers had been at work some time
that Hopkins went INTO the State on
administration business. the Governor
withdrew his warrant ami the Federal
charges against him Were lost. The
Governors recent public commitment
to the President and the New Deal
followed.
Ohio, although claimed for the
President in 1882 by upward of a
million votes, actually gave him a
majority of $4,000 votes.

Legal Action Threatened.

R).-Ihe Dispatch says former State
Senator George Bender informed it
he would take any legal steps nee
eSsary to force Gov. Martin L. Davey
to call a special election to select a

Charles v. Truax.
Bender, the paper says, telephoned
from Richmond, Va, and said if
Rhode Island, the smallest State in
the Union, thinks enough of itself to
call a special congressional election
certainly Ohio should do the same.
Rhode Island elected a Republican
