 Hauptmann's case was argued by Egbcrt Rosecrans and Fred erick A. Pope, assisted by Lloyd Fisher, his present chief of counsel. Fisher, not being counsellor, could not argue.t
 David T. Wilentz, attorney gen. eral and the fiery prosecutor who proved to the satisfaction of the trial jury that Hauptmann Is an arch-criniinal, defended the con. viction.
 Only these characters of the sen- sational Flemintgon trial were present. Absent was Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, who day af- ter day occupied place behind the prosecutors table. Also miss ing was Edward J. Reilly, colorful criminal lawyer and then Haupt- mann's chief counsel. Reilly fell out with his client after his con- viction and was dismissed by Hauptmann's wife, Ann.
 The defense had three hours to advance it's argument and give re- buttal, and the state the same time. The arguments will be con- cluded to-day.
 Sixteen Contentious
 Hauptmann's appeal was based upon 16 contentious, all intended to show that he was deprived of fair and impartial trial and unfairly convicted.
 These were:
 e Prosecution by the attorney gem eral rather than, the local prosecu- tor unduly influenced the jury. . The attorney general bullied and argued with Hauptmann and other witnesses; the state changed its theory of how the crime was com mitted during the trial, thereby de- scribing a crime different from that described in the indictment.
 The attorney general changed the theory of the crime in his summa- ton, which seriously damaged the defendant because he had no op- portunity to offer rebuttal.
 The state failed to prove the crime was committed in Hunter don county, where Hauptmann was tried, rather than in Mercer county, where the body was found.
 That the judge charged the jury improperly In defining burglarly as . statutory rather than common law crime.
 Tlsat Justice Trcnehard, the pre- siding judge Of the lower court, made fair verdict impossible by the tone and nature Of hla charge.

 The distillery, which was raided by the federal men May 9th, was found in buildings in the rear of the Hawkins Coal O., 490 South Leonard street. The mason supply company formerly occupied prop erty, and Mr. and Mrs. Devino told federal men that they had rented the front building to the coal con- cern and the rear building to Mas trianno. The latter claimed he had sub.let the property to one John Beano." "Beano'' was never To- cated.
 Beginning an official investiga- ton, the federal men traced ship ments of molasses and yeast, ac. cording to reports, from New York state to the South Leonard street place.
 No one Was There
 When the distillery was raided, there was no one on the premises, though the plant, valued at from s25.000 to $50,000, was in full op. eration. Chief Inspector O'ISane said the still was one of the iarg. est ever found in New England. The plant was equipped with most modern type of apparatus. and ev- en had a cooling system as well as q buzzcr signal system. The still itself was fitted out with special equipment that speeded up the dis tiliing process. Five huge vats were found on the premises, filled with mash. A quantity of finished al- cohoi was also discovered in the raid.
 It is not known whether the two accused will present q defense at tomorrow's hearing, or whether they wifi waive preliminary exam inntion and elect trial before q fed eral court. Mastrianno and De- vino will he represented by the law firm of Mascolo. Mcknight and Dauch.

 Who Are The Registrars
 Another important question that has arisen, is, who are now the reg istrars? Judge Peasiey's decision upholds the contention of the peti- tioner, Pape, that under the Gem erai Statutes, the deputy registrars automatically succeed to the regis trars office when the offcie is vacated by resignation, death or removal. If the supreme court up- holds Judge Peaseiey. then the question arises, can the actions of the appointees, Mir. Derwin and Mir. Dillane. be declared legal. if they remain in office until the high court decision comes down.

It is held in some circles that the men can remain in office until the supreme court decides the issues finally. It will be in November, probably before the supreme court will consider the case and since the city election is duo to be held on oct 7th this year. voting lists for both the democratic and re- publican parties will have to be submitted to the voters. Whether those lists will be affected by the present situation remains a debat- able question.
 No Onlcial Position
 As far as making of new voters is concerned, the registrars have no official position. The new voters are made by the town selectmen and the town clerk. After the new voters are made, their names arc forwarded to the registrars office and legal list of voters Is then com piled for the elections.

sun Attncks Admiral

Ewing Y. Mitchell, busted assist ant secretary of commerce, told the senate commerce committee to- day that he was informed he would 'get In bad with President Roose- welt" if he preferred charges against Admiral Hutch I. Cone, former chajfman of the U. s. ship ping board. Cone resigned in April.
 "My Judgment Is that my charges absolutely caused his detachment from the service" Mitchell said.
 He testified that he was told by member of the commerce de- partment personnel committee that Mir. Roosevelt didn't want Cones job or salary disturbed"
 ."I filed 23 charges anyway" he said.
 He told the committee he also caused the resignation of J. w. Barnett, "who was something like Cones man Friday"
 Committeemen continued their hostile attitude toward the busted official.
 Testify to Facts
 "If you can't testify to facts, don't testify at all," said Senator Duncan U. Fletcher. democrat. Florida, who vigorously defended Cone.
 "While I'm an ardent democrat, I'm opposed to putting out of office any republican who has the good of the government at heart" Mitchell said.
 "Is there any such?" inquired Chairman Royal s. Copeland, dem- ocrat, New York, smiling.
 "r know of one" "Who is he?" "I don't want to mark him for slaughter"
 That's what 1t would bo in this saturnalia of patronage and bunk" commented Senator Arthur II. vandenberg, republican. Michigan. Three Invitations Mitchell testified he had "three very cordial invitations to aid the department of justice in uncover ing the graft and possible corrup- ton in the bureaus of the com merce department"
 "But," he added, "they put me out so that can't get at the evil dence."
 Secretary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper was 45 minutes late. He entered as Mitchell was reviewing charges he made against various shipping board officials.
 Three committee members who did not attend yesterdays session were present. They were Mrs. Hat tie Caraway, democrat, Arkansas; Hiram Johnson. republican, Cali fornia, and Willard E. Tydings, democrat, Maryland. Death of Cutting Mitchell was reminded of his declaration that the aircrashh in which Sen. Bronson Cutting and others were killed might have been avoided if more experienced man had been in charge at the aero- nautics bureau of the department of commerce.
 "Do you believe that?" asked Copeland.
 Yes. say 1t may have been possible"
 Weren't you yourself in charger"
 "Only nominally."
 "You seem to have got results in the Cone and Barnett cases. Why couldn't you here?"
 'They knew was critical" |" Mitchell said. "When they had anything they didn't want criticized they didn't take 1t to me. They took 1t to Secretary Roper. un- doubtedly at his suggestion"
 Sends Present
 Mitchell criticized diversion of $500 from ship company's surplus for Christmas presents.
 ''The Diamond steamship Co.," he said. 'sent me a box of cigars for Christmas present. worth $50. understood they unloaded . car- load in the shipping board. and ordered them all sent back"
 You don't mean you could buy the shipping board for s500." Copeland said.

Italy WilI Act Alone

Rome, June 20.-(uP) Italy intends In future to act as 1t thinks fit .n international affairs without consulting the League of Nations, 1t was said authoritatively today.
 In doing so. 1t was explained, Italy would be following the ex- ample of Great Britain in negotlat- ing u naval limitation agreement with Germany direct.
 Britain, the informant said, In signing It's agreement with Ger many, acted precisely as Italy in- tends to act in its dispute with Abyssinia and in any similar cases league or no league.
 By negotiating directly with Ger many on matter which concerns all siynatoriesf of tho( Versailles treaty, 1t was charged, Britain dealt the leagues prestige its severest blow since Japan withdrew.

 familiar with the general princi- pies of the Leviathan contract. It was based, he said, on the theory that 1t was silly to make com pany take a certain loss provided a like amount could be applied to building new ships.
 Admiral Cone Defended
 Frequent clashes between Mitch~ ell and committee members marked the hearing. His description of Ad. miral Hutch I. Cone, former mem. Der of the shipping board as a messenger boy" for the Interna- tional Merchant Marine. of which the U. $. lines is a subsidiary, brought a sharp rebuke from Sem ator Duncan U. Fletcher. d., Fla.
 "Some of these men who arc criticising Admiral Cone are not worth ensugh to unlace his shoes, Fletcher said.
 Has No Knowledge
 In response to committee de- mands that he give 1t facts about graft and corruption" Mitchell de. nied he was charging corruption 2 He said by graft" he meant in- stances of persons getting things they were not entitled to and that 1t was clear that millions of dol lors had been lost to the treasury through ship subsidy transactions
 He said he had charged "in- dications of corruption" but that he had no knowledge of any "direct bribes." He said he had not seen any money passed, but suggested an alert prosecutor with grand jury would be the way to develop s,ich evidence.

 (Continued from Page 1.) French displeasure to the extent where 1t appeared that Anthony Eden, British cabinet minister who j.. due here tomorrow to see Pre- mier Pierre Laval, would get a chilly reception.
 Snubs the Luncheon
 It was regarded as of some sig nificance--an expression of resent ment by the French navy-that Minister of Marine Francois Pietrl will not attend Q luncheon which Laval will give Eden tomorrow.
 French opinion recognizes the motive which impelled Britain to seek an agreement-anxiety lest Germnny build a fleet of consider able relative strength in bulk and of monacing strength in such com merce raiding ships as submarines.
 There was no apparent dispo- sltion, however, to recognize either the merit of the agreement or Britains right to negotiate sep. arately a matter which concerns France and other nations.

New Tax Rescryolr

Washington, June 20--(UP)- Administration officials hoped to. day to tap q new tax reservoir which may ultimately yield $100,- 100000 a year by ending further issuance of tax-exempt securities.
 President Roosevelt in a special message to congress urged a "22nd amendment" to the Constitution to eliminate tax exemption on all fu- ture federal, state and municipal securities. These governmental units would then be permitted to tax security issues of each other.
 Now outstanding are some $36,- 00O, ,00O to s50,000. 900, 900 in tax free securities of the federal government and political subdivi- sions. These securities would not be affected by the proposed amend ment but all future issues would be subject to income taxation.
 Recent republican presidents and their treasury secretaries have questioned desirability of issuance of tax exempt securities but this Is the first time that any president has so strongly urged legislation to end the privilege. Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, IT,. in March. 1884, urged new amendment ending tax exemptions.
 Treasury officials so far have re- fused to reveal estimates of pos sible revenue from taxation ot government securities, but their hopes run upwards of hundred million dollars.

His conduct of the trial was cri- ticised on number of points, as was his charge.
 That the kidnap ladder had passed through too many hands to have been admitted as evidence.
 That the testimony of Col. Lind bcrgh, had been given undue weight because of his position. His presence in the court room "unduiy and unfairly influenced the jury"
 Secret Wire Found
 Just before the court opened. two cleaning men discovered n wire in the moulding of the corri- dor. It was taken down after be- ing traced from a spot over the entrance to the courtroom. down tho corridor and down an air flow shaft to the basement.

Two destroyers and one sub
marine were reported to have been
put out of action in repeated
fierce bombardments by loyalist
aircraft. Planes rained huge $50
pound bombs on the ships that
Admiral DemestichaS succeeded in
maneuvering to Suda Bay, near

Averoff was said to have been hit.
Ex-Premier Venizelos was prac-
tically king in Crete today. Ad-
miral DemeStichaS' forces had ar
rested Governor M. E. Apostikis,
who seized the principal harbors,
aiming later to descend once more
on the Greek peninsula if the revo-
luton there made progress.
First news that the revolt was
widespread in northern Greece
came from the government itself,
through claims of victories over
the inSurrectionists at Sores, Sa-
lonika, Alexandropoulis, and other
areas in Thrace and Macedonia.
A report filtered through the
closely guarded censorship that
rebels in eastern Macedonia we're
deserving in large numbers to the
government. The revolutionaries
still held Kavala, but were being
driven out of other towns, the re-
port said.
Athens and the surrounding
country were quiet. and huge
crowds cheered the departing
troops, but the dispatch of the re-
Inducements to the north and the
calling of the 1882 reserve classes
to the colors left a feeling of
uneasiness in the capital that was
not dispelled by optimistic state
ments of Premier Panayoti Tsal-
daris.
He promised that the rebellion
would be quickly crushed" and
he labeled Ex-Premier Venizelos
as a man "fit only to be a pirates
hero"
Casualties, according to some re-
ports, have already reached 100.
Crisis in Cabinet
Summary military courts were
set up today to try those rebel
leaders who have been arrested.
The Athens home of Venizelos was
raided, arms seized, and two of
his chef aides, Alexander Papana-
stassiou and M. Caphandaris, were
arrested.
In the midst of the revolution
cabinet crisis came to add to
the governments woes, but Pre-
mier Tsaldaris quickly took over
the foreign ministry from Deme-
trius MaXimoS, who announced
his resignation in Paris, and Ad.
miral Dousaimes succeeded Ad-
miral Alexander Hajikyriakos as
navy minister.

LEVI RETURNS
FROM EUROPE

today after an eight weeks tour
abroad, convinced that the United
States is leading the world to

CARELESS of the depression the
American standard of living still

Mr.. Levi declared he is con-
WINGED, too, the United States has
assumed supremacy in the field
of commercial aviation.
Mr.. Levi said Italy appeared
to be the most progressive coun-
try Of Europe today, with Pre-
mier MuSSolini pushing a vast
public works program. But the
big merchants there, he said, are
complaining bitterly of the
dearth of American tourists,
blaming the situation on this
nations gold policy.
