 The United Press was informed on high authority that today is the last day for the square deal asso- ciation."
 The troops will assist civil au- thorities in arresting all leaders of the association, particularly the leaders of 500 armed men who took over the courthouse late yesterday afternoon in the name of the or ganization.
 Senator Long was safe in his Roosevelt hotel suite in New Or leans. reported preparing to re- turn to Washington tonight. He left Baton Rouge hastily last night while the citizens "army" was as- sembling at the courthouse. It was reported that leaders O. the association would be charged with plotting to assassinate Long. They also will be charged with seking. by yesterdays mobilization, to overthrow the government by force. Warrants for the arrest of 35 men were reported drawn and in the hands of local police. long controlled and dominated organ ization.
 A close check early today re- vealed that all known leaders of the association remained in their homes. awaiting the showdown. They issued no statements but in- timated they were ready to face the test of force with force" Approximately 500 men, armed with shotguns, rifles, and pistols, mobilized yesterday within an hour after they were called. Whether this citizen army" would be mo- bilized again to face the trained military could not be surmised from the leaders statements. but il was believed cool heads within the organization would prevent any armed defiance of the military.

Hauptmann Aibis
 Facing Hard Blouus
(continued from Page D

1 wered with a loud "No," to each question. And he is steady enough to turn to the jury at the most ef- fective point, and shout his denial point-blank into their upturned faces.
 Attorney General WiIentz has more than the little red book" with the word "boad" in it, with which to confront the witness. He has saved some of his most perti- nent evidence, awaiting the time until Hauptmann has completed his explanation of the strange cir cumstances by which he fell into possession of part of the Lind bergh ransom money. Reilly Worked Hard His chief counsel, Edward J. Reilly, popularly known as the bull of Brooklyn" has done every thing humanly possible to save Hauptmann from the pounding he Is going to get next week. He has pulled every trick out of the bag, including his usual plea that the prisoner was severely beaten by the police and knew not what he was saying or writing while he was being questioned by New York po- lice.
 He also used the traditional Reilly method, effective in hun drcds of instances, of Charging everybody else in the world with the crime including some of the principals" What effect this will have on a country jury which has looked upon the drama with the same objective consideration as 0 group of theatrical critics, remains to be seen.
 There was a deep question about witnesses for the defense to-day. There was a time when Reilly an- nounced with confidence that he would have lat least a hundred persons who would prove that Hauptmann was never near Hope- we'll"
 Defense Witnesses DwindIe
 The number dwindled to 75 last week, and was cut still further, to 50, after Bruno Hauptmann began his defense. To-day he said he might have 30, but he wasn't sure how he would get the money to pay for them.
 "We hope to present them to the court" his associate, c. Lloyd Fisher, said. But the defense has no money. We can't subpoena peo- pie in New York. We are just try ing to persuade them to come for ward in the interest of justice"
 There were yellow pieces of pa per in a row of seats near the de- fense table to-day. all of them labelled "witness."
 There were those who wondered and Reilly would not tell---whe- ther these seats are not peopled by a lot of ghosts, who will never materialize before the eyes of the jury.

book In which a single word, "boad" leaped up to confound him.
 The defense had not expected that. It had passed away the ran- som notes easily and smoothly by declaring they were not from the crude fist of the German carpen- ter. But when Wilentz put into the same hands a book in which the word boat" was spelled incorrect ly-and in the same mis-spelling that occurred in the final ransom note-he was at loss both for words and explanation.
 Faces Week of Ordeal When words fail him, Haupt- mann has recourse to raging de- nial. Words are going to fall him more than once during the next week.
 Wilentz has more than 80 con- tradictions between the Haupt- mann story as told upon his arrest in the Bronx, and his subsequent nearly $15,000 in Lindbergh ran- som bills, dug up from secret hid ing places in his Bronx garage. He will take these contradictions one by one, and ask the one-time machine gunner why he lied. Hauptmann will say that he lied because he was frightened. He will also say he lied because he was afraid, not of. being nailed to the Lindbergh crime, but of being sent to jail for the comparatively minor crime of hoarding gold certificates.
 Praise For Him
 When Hauptmann finished his direct examination, there was con- siderable praise for his steady nerve under fire. There were per- sons who watched his hands, in the crowded courtroom. They saw that those hands, which the state claims fashioned the kidnap ladder, never once quivered.
 They compared Hauptmann's hands to those of an honest lum- herman, one J. J. Doran, of South Carolina, which shook with a pitt full palsy when a1feHwas testifytng against Hauptmann. All Doran had to testify about was the matter Of simple bill of sale and the ship ment of some lumber. What Hauptmann has to testify to IS the evidence that will save him from the electric chair or send him to it. Yet Doran's hands tremblcd iand Hauptmann's hands were those of q supremely confident auditor, go- ing over another mans books.
 The defense has taken Haupt- man over every one of the more than 200 exhibits produced by the state of New Jersey, and asked him in each case whether he was ever associated with it.

 As though he had been drilled Tn q class room, the German has aDs-

 Another was the Rev Francis Frost, rector of St Mary's Episco- pal church, West New Brighton, Staten Island.
 The Ward line issued no state- ment and one of it's attorneys ap- piled modified censorship to mem- bers of the Mohaw's crew. It was their duty, the lawyer said, to tell their stories first to official investi- gators.
 Other Captain Talks
 Captain Wang issued a statement explaining his part in the disas. ter, through attorneys for the Wilhemsen line (Norwegian), the Talisman's owners. The Talisman Wang said, was going southward along the New Jersey coast bound for Delaware, thence to Brazil, al II knots. The Mohawk, making 16 knots Overhauled her about q half mile to her port. A few min- utes after the Mohawk had passed she lurchcd suddenly to starboard crossing the Talisman's bow. Cap tain Wang said he reversed his en- zines, threw his helm hard over but could not avoid the collision He saw the Mohawk lower hci boats. The passengers seemed safe Therefore, he said, he did mol lower any boats nor take any par in rescue efforts. Seamen of tho Mohawk supplemented this story Mohawk Started Ahead
 The Mohawk sailed from hel Manhattan pier an hour before tho Diesel-motored Talisman left hel Brooklyn pier. The Mohawk stopped outside the harbor. how. ever. to calibrate her radio com. pass. While she was hove to, tht Talisman passed her.
 Then. proceeding smartly at 1( knots, the $2,000,000 10 year olt liner passed the Talisman. Sud denly her steering gear "wen haywire." Captain Wood footed one sharp blast on his whistle tt warn the Talisman to veer off. In stead, the Talisman came straigh ahead and her bow ploughed into the Mohawk's side between he, bridge and forecastle peak.
 Captain Wood ordered passen gers to boats. Just as the last boa got off, the ship plunged. But no all passengers of crew got off. Sur vivors in lifeboats saw passenger and crew leaping into the icy SCI just before the liner sank. Severa seamep, it is believed, were killed in their berths, when the Tails mans prow plunged into the fore castle.

PRESTON CITY MAN | |aLOSESDECISION !
Claim Against A. B. COfi- pany Denied Here
 To-day

The claim of Lucian Hivard of Preston City, Conn, seeking com- pensation from the American Brass Co 10 dismissed under a decision of C0mmissioner James M. Lynch handed down In the compensation court here today. The claimant charged in his claim that he was administered narcotics while in the hospital and because of an idio- syncrasy he was made more sus- ceptible than the average person to the effects of drugs.
 He claimed because of the over dose of narcotics he was rendered violently irrational and had to be confined to the state hospital at Norwich. He is well today, after 10 months in the hospital and is working at wood chopping, Com missioner Lynch says.
 The claimant based his claim on a back injury sustained October '27, 1888, while operating a truck loaded with scrap metal. Commits sioner Lynch states the claimant had worked at digging two or three days before the date of his claimed accident and admitted to disinter- ested witnesses that he injured his back while lifting a stone.
 He became i'll, however, and was ordered to the Charlotte Hunger ford hospital. He developed 'iacute psychosis" and. became uncop- trollable, attacking hospital att the state hospital at Norwich. He tendants. He was then ordered to claimed the narcotic given him while at the hospital brought on his mental condition.
 Commissioner Lynch holds that the narcotics in no way were a contributory cause of the claim ants mental condition. Neither did the claimant suffer a compen. sableinjury, says the finding. He was discharged from the state hos pital after being confined 10 months.

along the New Jersey coast, she had picked up 32 bodies. These were taken to Bellevue morgue where four still were unidentified early today. The Icarus, the cut ter Champlain, and small coast guard surf-boats will search for the bodies of those still missing.
 Inspected January 18th
 Captain Carl Nelson, local in- spector of hulls, announced the Mohawk had been inspected last January IS. This inspection, how ever. was of her hull only and did not include navigation and life-boat equipment. It was the failure of her steering gear, members of her crew charged. that was contribut- ing cause of the accident. They also blamed the Talisman for not sheering off her course in tipe to avoid the collision.
 Half of the rescued of the Mo- hawks passengers and crew-the fortunate ones who came out of the disaster alive numbered 117- remained in hospitals today, recov- ering from the shock of immersion into an icy sea or from hours in
  ature.
 Scenes at the Bellevue morgue repeated in pathos scenes at the improvised morgues in Asburs Park, N. J.. in September following the burning of the Waard liner Morro Castle in which 124 lives were lost. In that disaster, passen- gers accused the crew of rank cowardice. Passengers on the Mo- hawk had nothing but praise foi her crew. Apparently even less ot the instinct for self preservation than could be expected, was pres ent. Captain Wood was described as a lone, gallant figure on the Mo hawks bridge when her sterr | turned up, her bronze propellol glittering in moonlight, as sht plunged to the bottom.
