me not to make a fuss. He held me.
Mrs. Lyddane threw her car in

Judges Reprimanded Photographers.
Already stirred to action by a story
in the Washington Herald purporting
to reveal the "secret' verdict in the
Boland trial, the judges took time out
at last nights session to administer
a sharp reprimand to three photog-
raphers who had ventured on the third
floor of the court building despite an
official ban.
The camera men were Albert Cam
dido, Washington Times: G. E.
Tankersly, Washington Herald, and
w. Hoff. New York Daily News.
Their plates were conflscated and
they were released after a 35-minute
lecture by the judges in private cham
bers.
The photographer for the Herald
had persuaded Mrs. Beall to pose in
the grand jury ante room. The other
cameramen came in and obtained
f1ashlight pictures. Spectators from
the packed court room strolled through
the corridors or went outside for fresh
air during this unexpected Interrupt
ton of the trial.
Last nights testimony was given by
Dr. Bert c. Farrer. examiner of docu-
ments for the Treasury Department.
and Ira Gullickson, Washington police
photographer.
DIR. Farrer Identifies Markings.
They repeated statements to the
effect the threat note" found on Car
nell was written on the typewriter of
Mrs Lyddane in the bank where she
was employed as secretary to the
president.
Dr. Farrer declared similar mark
ings on the typewriter note and on
the keys of the machine later con-
fiscated as evidence by the State con-
WINGED him beyond any doubt" that
the note came from Mrs. Lyddane's
typewriter. This opinion was con-
f1rmed by Gullickson. who exhibited
huge Photographic engagements of
the note to the jury and demonstrated
the points which made him positive of
the identification.
Both witnesses had testified in a
similar manner at the two-day trial
of Boland. 42-year-old Washington
gambler. Boland's trial was concluded
Tuesday night before the three judges,
who withheld their verdict until the

st. Louis, Sept sS--(UP)-The American Legion took over Gt. Louis today for itg 17fh annual convention.
 Unofiicial estimates placed at- tendance as the highest in the hiss tory of the organization which had its birth here in 1919. More than 126 special trains came in over the weekend delivering approximately 100000 "buddies" and their wives.
 National Commander Frank ". Belgrano. IT,. of San Francisco, rapped the convention to order in the municipal auditorium at 9:sO o'clock, .. m.
 A battle over the exact shape the conventions bonus action will take was m outstanding probability. Congreesman Wright Patman of Texas and Congressman Fred M. Vinson of Kentucky. both were here for the convention.
 Far into last night, the typical brand of legion whoopee was spun on grand scale. Bands blared. Arriving units marched from Un- ion station to their hotels. Bell changing "voitures" of the 40 ct 8 roared through the streets. Individ- ual 'buddies" attempted the roles ofaffic Mussolinis.

After considerable delay, he was maneuvered out of sight and trafiic was resumed. Things of that sort went on all through the night. Hotel corridors reechoed to Indian war-whoops and cowboy "yippes"

 Bleary-eyed from his long bat tie McGrady expressed hope that a satisfactory solution could be drafted late today so that the strike call could be reescinded im- mediately.
 | As the conference broke up un- ion leaders and operators were only three cents per ton apart on the wage increase that miners have been seeking since last Feb ruary.
 | The union, which originally de- manded an increase of IS cents for miners working on tonnage basis, appeared willing to concede one and one-half cents more. There the operators remained adamant, and the three-cent diff ference still separated the two sides when the long session was recessed.
 l The strike call became effective last midnight. It ordered 100000 men, members of the United mine workers, to stay away from the mines when 2 q. m. whistles sound throughout the bituminous field from Pennsylvania to the far west.

 In sub-committees of four and then IS members, McGrady labor ed on. At close to 2:3O a. m., 1t ap- peared futile to continue any long, CT. The full conference of more than 200 was reconvened. Leathery-skinned district mine leaders stumbled into the main conference from poker tables and dice games at which they had be- guiled the hours during the long committee sessions. Operators streamed in from tables where the stakes had been much higher.
 The tireless McGrady,, reluctan-t Iy admitting that no agreement could be rceached during the night, thundered at both sides:

 The general really likes to get letters of that kind. but is a little depressed sometimes because so many of them ask for jobs or help of one kind or another.

 { Democrat Washington Correspon-
 dent
 Washington, Sept. 23-In a ra- ther quiet way. something hap pened the other night which may have far-reaching effects.
 The American Federation of Government Employees slid an amendment into its constitution. This empowers the AFGE to or- ganize all city, county, and state employees throughout the coun- try.
 This has never been tried be- fore. Since there are estimated to be perhaps 4,000,00O such em- ployes. you can see that the possi- bilities are without limit. If successful, this move might well create an organization so strong as to have a definite direct influence on government itself.
 Since 1892, when the AFGE was established, there have been two union organizations competing for the 717,712 employees now on the federal payroll.
 The National Federation of Fed eral employees is the older, founded in 1918. It claims 44,000 members.
 The AFGE, started in 1892 with American Federation of Labor backing, has something more than 20,000 members.
 Between the two, with some 65,000 members, they have suc- ceeded in organizing fewer than 10 per cent of the federal gov ernment workers. There is grow ing bitterness between the two organizations, and recent pro- posals to merge them were turned down with fierce decision.
