Raleigh, July 18.-Rumors of an

heard in Raleigh, but whether they

Opponents do not say.
1t was thought that during the ses-
sions of the Young Democrats In
Greensboro the Old Democrats might

stories comes to the Raleigh news
paper men is that the Old Democrats
dislike very much a great deal of New

that the Young Democrats literally
eat that up.
Certainly there are many Demo
Gratis who are opposed to what goes
on in Washington, but inducing these
Democrats to array themselves on the
side of age is something else. There

Madrid, Spain, July Ii (AP)-
The government announced to-
night that a fleet of WarShips
was enrOute to Spanish Morocco
to crush the widespread army
revolt that broke out there to-
day.
Airplanes had been called into &C
ton to blast the rebels with bombs,
and in Spain number OF generals
and officers had been arrested as
leaders of the uprising.
Throughout the evening the gov
eminent maintained that the revolt
"had been broken" and asserted, de-
spite rumors to the contrary, that
the mainland had not been affected.
Nevertheless, a communique &C
knowledged that it had been forced
80 take radical measures in the IN
terror.
Reports reaching French border
points, but not confirmed from any

ever, said that city was calm.
Madrid, Spain, July 18 (AP)-A re-
bellion broke out today amongst

In an official communique the gov

"A new criminal attack on the gov

government did not wish to address
the country until it had learned ex

to combat it.
Part of the army representing
Spain in Morocco has risen in arms
against the republic, revolving agalns
its own country and performing
shameful criminal act of rebellion
against the legitimately constituted
powers.
"The government of the republic
dominates the situation, and declar
es it will not be long in announcing
TO public opinion the re-establish

TRENTON, N. j., January 11.-Spec-
ulation was rife tonight as to what
happened at the secret hearing Of the
Court of Pardons on Bruno Richard
Hauptmann's clemency plea.
The court sought to keep any of its
eight members or the seven persons
called before 1t from revelations by
direct instructions before adjournment
and by including IN its formal an
nouncement of denial Of the plea the
statement that under the traditional
rules Of the Board of Pardons, all
members and all those who participat-
ed in the hearing are bound to hold
in confidence all proceedings Of the
board"
Most guessers agreed that the fol-
lowing was about what happened:
The evidence presented had been
reported in the press so long that it
contained no element Of surprise or
freshness.
No Evidence From Germany.
No evidence from Germany was Of
fered.

Wholesale resumption of child labor

THE N. r. A. was generally sue
cessful in preventing child labor. AS
soon as the power of this act was

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE
riddle of the Lindbergh baby murder
may never be fully solved, no matter
what happens to Bruno Richard
Hauptmann in New Jerseys death
house next week.
1t is often that way with cases in
which circumstantial evidence is en-
ployed. Always there remain one OF
more elements of the crime which
either are unexplained or are ex-
planned with contradictions.
If mystery storyteller set it down
it would be a story too weird to
believe. There is in all the history
Of American crime no case as studded
with strange drama as this.
There were cemetery trysts-a
rendezvous aboard ship at sea
aiyplanes that circled mysteriously
over coves and inlets-notices in the
agony" columns young woman
killed herself almost at the feet OF
police officers-ransom notes-gang-
sters-speeding motor cars, darkly
curtained, dashing forth on strange
journeys-dead men and dead ends
a watchdog that failed to bark
fiingerprints-a mustached school,
master keeping weird appointments
vaudeville-a shallow grave-hoaxers
-G-men and country sleuths-point-
ing f1ngers-pencilled figures on
hanknote
Women in Mink and Ermine.
Most of these varied events came to
a focus in the centry-old court house
of Pennington, N. j., with 72-year-
old justice as the arbiter. A young
Russian-b born attorney general (prose-
cutting his first murder case) as the
pointing finger, IL men and women
of the countryside as jurors, and the
lean carpenter from Kamenz, Ger
many, as the prisoner at the bar.
There were women in mink and
ermine, men of wide fame, as specta-
tors. There were State troopers with
firearms holstered at their sides, mes
senger boys standing in the aisles to
form a human chain, along which,
like beans on a conveyor belt, the re-
ports Of the trial moved from the re-
porters' chairs to the waiting tele-
graph wires in the ante-room. Moth
ing quite like 1t ever was seen before.
Once the voice of Hauptmann was
heard, crying out:
You are lying =. lying!"
Once the voice of his wife, too, rose
in protest to the testimony.
Through it all, without sign Of emo
ton, sat the father of the murdered
child. He did not miss a session.
Unless Bruno Hauptmann himself
should clear it up before the current
of death throttles him, the complete

TRENTON, N. j., January IL
New Jerseys Court of PardonS reached
its decision denying clemency to
Bruno Richard Hauptmann in Sc
cluded room today far removed from
such crowds as characterized his trial
at Pennington.
A cowd gathered early in the cor
ridors of the State House, outside the
executive Offices where the court con-
vened. To get away from the crowd,
the court went to the large oak-pan-
elled Court of Errors conference room
on the fourth floor of the State House
annex, so yards away.
Uniformed State troopers petroled
the corridors, refusing entrance to the
court room.
Door Closed 81 Hours.
For five and one-half hours the
door leading from the court room to
the conference room remained closed.

who presided at Hauptmanns trial
and sentenced him to die, locked his
Office and went home. He had waited
all day for possible call by the court.
Fifteen minutes later. the door of
the conference room opened. One of
the judges looked out through half
opened door.
He stepped back. Albert B. Her
mann, court clerk, walked through
the court room.
"Over in the other building" he
said.
With three blue coated State troop
ers fanking him, he walked to the
executive Office.
A crowd of 800 was there.
Hermann mounted a chair in an
outer room.
In a trembling voice-he suffered
over Bruno Richard Hautpmann''-
he announced "clemency was denied.
