Police investigating Poole's muir

said, that the Davis band had

they believed were erring hus-
bands. He quoted Dean as say
ing:

The police inspector asserted de-
tectives were seeking to learn the
identity of the other victims today
and, If found, other members of
the band may be rounded up and
prosecuted. Navarro asserted:
The Black Legion has a far
flung organization in Detroit.
They have the city divided into
zones and each district has its
own organization. Many of
them are masking under the
guiSe Of social and political
clubs.

said he presumably fled to Ger

Government officials here
stated that the attack. which &C.

Nazis in Austria possessed some
arms, and that Austrian Nazis
were trying desperately to IN

Heimwehr Arms Sought
An official communique stated
the attack was staged with the
aim Of selling HeimWehr arms

The attack climaXed an explo-

by Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg
because Of an effuSive congratu-

Premier Mussolini on his victory
over Ethiopia.
Starhemberg Immediately made
a trip to Rome, where he saw
Mussolini. Before he left, Star
hemberg promised he would de-
fend his Heimwehr and that the
world would soon hear more from
them. Starhemberg returned from
Rome several days ago, and has
remained in the background since.
Police Held Ready
An official communique issued
at Linz in regard to the NaziS at
tack said:
Authorities were previously
informed of the plot. AS the
Nazis invaded the park of the
castle, police INTERVIEWED. The
Nazis opened fire and the gen.
darmes replied"
Police in upper Austria were or
dered to remain on alarm footing
to prevent possible further Nazi
activity or Heimwehre protest dem

Assassination Plot
Starhemberg's Heimwehr adher-
ents claimed the Nazis attempted
to kidnap or assassinate the
prince, whom they apparently sup
posed to be in the castle.
The Nazi's, however, asserted
they only wanted the ammuni.
ton stored in the castle.
The police who broke up the
attack were noncommittal, an
nouncing merely that police forces
beat off so armed NaziS.

MRS. LYDDANE
ACQUITTED
CONTINUED from Page II

For five days the trial of Mrs.
Lyddane had been under way, and
the chief topic of conversation
here, but only few persons were
able to find seats in the small
courtroom.
For more than an hour after the
verdict Mrs. Lyddane stood in
the courtroom receiving congrat-
ulations. Her father, James Nc
Laughlin, her brother George,
and her sister Mae stood by her
side. But "Slom" was not there
when the verdict was announced.
Two Of the jurors came up to
congratulate her and ask for her
autograph. And when finally
cheers and applause died down,
Mrs. Lyddane returned to her
hotel, where a group of Rockville
friends waited and again she was
the center of a reception.
Then a motor cavalcade started
for Rockville, with Mrs. Lyddane
returning to her home town cleared
of the charges that had been
hanging over her head for more
than year.
BIameS Politics
She expressed satisfaction in the
verdict, saying:
81 was mixed up in politics
and was prosecuted"
Her father, too, was joyful, say
ing:
"At last our family name has
been cleared. / am an old man,
but / can now Gle knowing that
our family record is unsullied."
After the court had ruled yes
terday that "Slom" could not take
the witness stand to defend his
wife, he was admitted to the court
room for the first time since the
trial started, and sat at Mrs. Lyd-
danes side, smiling at her and
often comforting with her.
The defense attorneys, headed
by State Senator Stedman Pres
colt, expressed satisfaction at the
verdict, declaring Justice has
been DONE"
In their final pleas to the jury
they held that Mrs. Lyddane was
the victim of a blackmau plot
by underworld characters. They
admitted her affair with Arthur
Beall, Jamestown garage owner,
but placed the blame on him.

and raising about 1877 million dol
lars of new revenue, chiefly from
corporations and their Stockhold-
ers. today awaited President RooSe-
velt's approval.
Mr.. Roosevelt's Endorsement
was said to depend solely on
whether the bill raised the new
revenue he asked for payment Of
the bonus and farm relief pro-
gram. Whether it does was the
subject of some controversy, due to
conflicting estimates from Treas
ury and private sources.
SimplificatiOn Sought

sections of the bill. There was no
controversy over these sections,

in a desire to clarity and simplify

$214,000,00O.
2. Seven per cent super tax
on net income retained by
corporation, 1925, 100000.
3. Taxing dividends in hands
OF stockholders at normal in
come rate a per cent?, $90,000,'
900.
4. Retention Of existing cap
ital stock and excess profits tax
($1.40 per $1,000, $16S,000, 900.
S. Windfall taxes to recapture
processing taxes, collected by
professors but never paid into
treasury, $10e,000,00O.
House Bill Levies
The House bill carried the fol-
lowing taxes:
/. Repeal of present corpora
ton taxes and substitute Of q
sliding scale Of new taxes solely
on undistributed net earnings Of
corporations (maximum Of AN
per cent if all earnings re-
tained), $623 ,00O,00O
2. Slashing of existing capital
stock and excess profits in half
to be retained one year, $50, 000,-
900.

"In Kazan?" repeated the baronet.

girls died, but Hunt County investi-
gators unsatisf1ed with the death re-
ports, exhumed the two small bodies
and sent them to DR.. Landon c.
Moore in Dallas for examination.

Patterson's children by her first hus-
band, Dester McCasland, whom she
divorced while he was in prison serv-
ing sentence for liquor law violation.
