PARLEY FLAYS
CONFLICTS IN
STATE LAWS
Tax, Divorce, Health and
Police Legislation Criticized
BY Legislative Leader

Need for closer cooperation
among the States was pointed
out today by William E. Belknap.
president of the American Legis-
lators Association, at a session
of the Interstate Assembly at the
Mayflower Hotel.
Declaring the machinery of
Government is out of date, and
the Federal and State constitu-
tions are obsolete, Mr.. Belknap
urged that the States awaken
to the need and devote careful
consideration to the problem.
Other Laws Conflict
In addition to the conflict in
taxation among the States, there
are many other variances, he
pointed out. He said:
"Take the question of divorce.
A divorce granted in one
State is not recognized in an
other. There should be a uni
form divorce law.
"And there is great need for
change in the laws to
strengthen law enforcement. At
present State officer in pur-
suit of a criminal must halt
at the State line while his
quarry escapes.
Health regulations, water
rights and other kindred sub
jects need legislation to
straighten out interstate prob
lems."
The assembly yesterday was
urged to support a Federal sales
tax. It continued today its dis
cussion of tax problems.
DoughtOn Speaks
Representative Robert L. Dough
ton, chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, and Rep
resentative Fred M. Vinson, chair
man of the subcommittee on
double taxation, addressed the
meeting and urged that conflict
between the States and the Fed
eral Government be settled so
that an equitable tax may be
paid by all.

Ken MURRAY
Says:

There certainly is a lot Of
protests against that new law,
requiring the publishing Of pri-
vate incomes on those "pink
slips" Well, the women should
not kick. . They've been expos
ing their figures in pink slips
for long time.
OF course, this idea wouldn't
work out so bad, if, while pub.
fishing the amount of our in.
comes, they'd also publish the
names of people who owe us
money.
Judging from the financial
condition of most Of us, the
new law will cause a lot Of
eye trouble to the clerks of the
income tax unit. Red ink
doesn't show UP very well on
pink.
so REMEMBER:
Curiosity may be called idle
but it always seems to be on
the job.

DEACON BARRED
FROM VISIT To
SICK SPOUSE
Forfeits Bond If He Goes Near
Her, Says Judge; Defense
Plans Mystery Move
BY Staff Correspondent


FIR REDERIC CKSBURG, Va,
March l.-Broken in health but
still fighting fiercely to escape
the penitentiary, Deacon Edward
c. Bell was back here today,
awaiting a second trial on charges
of poisoning his invalid wife.
Meanwhile his wife, Mrs.
Madge Bell, is in a serious con-
dition in the family home here
where the churchman is banned
by court order, it was learned.
Mrs. Bell, still suffering from
the effects of the poisons the
State charges her husband mixed
in her food and medicine, suf-
fered relapse several days ago
almost at the same time State
alienists were holding that the
deacon is not insane, as his oe-
fense attorneys contended.
Bell Appears Shattered
Bell looked a shattered man
when he was returned in the GUS
tody of City Sergeant j. Conway
Chichester late yesterday and re.
leased on $4,000 bond pending
court appearance next Thurs
day.
He has lost 20 pounds since be.
ing taken to the Southwestern
State Hospital last December for
observation, and DR.. George
Wright, superintendent of the hos
pital, said his health is failing
rapidly"
The 60-year-old churchman, who
the State contended was a L,o-
thario with other women, has
partly lost the use of his right
arm and right leg as the result of
paralytic stroke suffered about
two years ago, the doctor reported,
and he is suffering from a severe
internal disorder.
Protests Innocence
But he still maintains he is in.
nocent of the charge and is pre-.
pared to wage another court bat
tie to escape long prison term.
w. M. Butzner, chief defense at
torney, set at rest rumors that the
accused churchman would plead
guilty and throw himself on the
mercy of the court, saying the de.
fense was ready to proceed with
a second trial.
The defense will seek to inject
a mystery angle in the case, con-
tending that analysis showed a
deadly poison was found in Mrs.
Bells medicines long before the
testimony shows that Deacon Bell
purchased a bottle of a similar
potion.
Commonwealth Attorney AL.
bert V. Bryan of Alexandria, spec.
ial prosecutor of the case, an
nounced that he is ready to go to
trial and has new evidence against
the deacon which will be pre-.
Sented.
Daughter to Be Called
At the next trial, Miss Tram
Bell, daughter of the accused
man, will be summoned as q
State witness. She was sub.
poenaed for the first trial but
was i'll in New York and did not
return until the State had rested
it's case.
No intimation has been given
by Mrs. Bell as to whether she
will see her husband. Judge
Frederick w. Coleman, in setting
bond, ordered Deacon Bell mot
to put foot on his wife's property"
on pain of having the bond de.
clared forfeit.

 President Alexander Zaimis, of the Greek Republic, resigned as Gen. George Kondylis, former war minister and leader of the Royalists, formed a cabinet and convoked the national assembly to decree restor- ation of the monarchy.
 Abolition of the republic and monarchy was the first step of the new government. Kondylis estab- lished himself as regent on behalf of the absent king. (.

 The national assembly had not been scheduled to meet until day after tomorrow, but the monarchists in the saddle showed strong deter mination to act swiftly to bring George back to the throne.

DEFENSE SPEECH
 MADE FOR ITALY
Baron AlOisi in Powerful Appeal Before the League
 of Nations To-day

Geneva, Oct. 1O.-UP)-Italy made its last stand today before a league of nations assembly de. termined to impose smashing penal ties for its undeclared war or Ethiopia.
 Defiant to the last, Baron Pom- peo Aloisi, spokesman for Premier Benito Mussolini, bitterly denounced the league and indirectly the nearly three score nations who belong to il as unfair to his country.
 Even as he spoke, his voice vi- brant with emotion, to the packed assembly hall, league leaders were planning to announce, before the day was over that special penal ties committee of 20-odd nations had begun the work of specifying sanctions or penalties against Italy, to be put into actual force early next week.
 Italy Singled Out
 Why did the league choose Italy on which to exert its authority? asked Aloisi. Why did 1t not act in similar manner when Japan invad- ed Manchuria? Why did it not act when Bolivia and Paraguay were fighting their bloody war in the Gran Choco jungles of South America?
 He charged the league with gross unfairness in dealing with Italy's side of the Italian-Ethiopian dis pute.
 He attacked the league council and members of its committees which prepared the way for penal

 The only marks found on Pierce's body were abrasions of the right knee, apparently received in a fall Dr. Kirschbaum said he had beer told by police that the man wa. a drug addict, but had not beer able to determine with any f1nalit! whether such was the case.

 Geneva, Oct. 10-(UP)-Fifty-two nations representing every conti- nent condemned Italy today as a violator of the league of nations covenant because of it's undeclared war on Ethiopia. By this action in 8 historic meeting of the league as- sembly, 8 veritbale congress of na- tions, league members bound them- selves automatically to apply econ- omic and financial penalties against Fascist Italy. Any nation which joined in Italys condemnation is entitled legally, if 1t desires, to de- clare formal war against Italy as a world outlaw. But three nations Italy herself, Austria and Hungary of the 55 nations represented-de- clared themselves dissociated from the assembly action.
 It had been proclaimed to the world by doubters that the league would never act. Benito Mussolini had said defiantly that he would pursue ,his aims with the league, without the league or against the league.

Signs of the political strife that hns held the city spell-bound for the past several months had prac- tically receded from the picture to- day in Waterbury. The usual rou- tine was once more being followed by the people in general. Demo- cratic officials and workers were get- ting ready for the campaign of next year to reelect democratic gover- nor and President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

His Chief Counsel Fisher Still Claims He Did Not

By SANDOR S. KLEIN Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 10-(UP)- Attorneys for Bruno Richard Hauptmann began fight along new and apparently hopeless lines today to save him from the chair.
 c. Lloyd Fisher, chief counsel for the German carpenter who kid- naped and murdered the infant son of Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lind- bermgh, announced he would carry an appeal denied yesterday by the state court of errors and appeals to the United States supreme court.

 Almost Last Hope
 The errors and appeals court, the states bench of final resort, dis pelled almost the last justiflable hope of reprieve Kauptmann had. Thirteen justices eligible to vote on his appeal, presented last June, were unanimous in declaring his al- legations of an unfair trial baseless.

SON-IN-LAW OF EMPEROR HALLE
 FELL IN FIGHT
Reported Killed in Cavalry Drive-Italians COntinu-
 ing to Push Ahead
By SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS Copyright 1885 By United Press)

NCOpyTlSHt AoS0 ny OHlteu EreSSy
 London, Oct. 10 - (UP) = Ethi- opians fear that Dedjazmatch Halle Selassie Hugsa, son-in-law of En- peror Halle Selassie I, has been killed in a daring cavalry drive into Eritrea.
 It is indicated that the forefront of the drive will be undertaken by Gen. Ruggioeri Santini, now oc- cupying Adigrat.
 His men made slight advance southward and are believed today to be on the outskirts of the village of Debra Sion.
 Makale lies along the great car- avan route that leads southward to Dessye, an important strategic cen- ter on the plateau, from Aduwa and Adigrat.
 Would Be Bad Loss
 Its capture would be a much more important loss to the Philippians from the strategic viewpoint than the capture of the towns in the present line of occupation.
 Also, from the Italian sentimental viewpoint, it was at Makale that 8 handful of Italians under Maj. Giuseppe Galliano made a gallant stand in tiny fortress against an overwhelming onslaught of Ethio- plan warriors in 1896.
 'It is learned that Aberas and Allie, two of Ras Siyoum's trusted generals, have been killed in battle at Adigrat," said brief dispatch received in Rome today from Ad- igrat.
 Halle Selassie Hugsa, who mar ried the emperor's second daughter, was the leader of the raid of 15,000
