HE is POLITICIAN

by Aircraft Industry for
His influence.

SHELBY, N. c., February 30.
Max Gardner, former Governor and
Democratic national committeeman
of North Carolina, denied in . state
ment tonight that he was employed
by the aircraft industry for his polit-
ical influence, as was asserted in the
Senate munitions probe.
During my period Of employment
never asked a favor, never saw a
CONGRESSMAN or Senator, never ap-
peared before a committee, never Wis
tied the Capitol and there was no
legislation enacted that was sponsored
or approved by aviation" he said. IT
was employed to represent the indus
try as counsellor in its darkest hour
and not as legislative representative
on Capitol Hill"
A letter written by James P. Muir
ray, Eastern representative Of the Boe-
ing Aircraft Co., to E. L. Egstvedt,
president of that company and q di-
rector of the Aeronautical Chamber of
Commerce, which was introduced in
the munitions probe Thursday,
ascribed Gardner's employment to his
political influence.
'He (Gardner) is politician of the
first water" the letter said. "and my
observations tell me that in this ad-
ministration in order to get things
done, resort simply has to be made
to the use of politics"
Gardner has been practicing law in
Washington since his retirement as
Governor of North Carolina nearly
four years ago and said in his state
ment that he had never asked -
special. legal or political favor"
He said he was paid $4,000 by the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce
in 1894 and s22, 500 in 1885. Muir
rays letter had referred to $4,000
having been paid him.

WILSON Staying
TRIAL MARCH so
Counsel for Sutton Obtained
New Date and Will Ask
Separate Hearing.
By stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, February o.
Albert Sutton and his three gangster
associates will 60 on trial March 80
In Rockville for the mistaken identity
murder of Allen B. Wilson, newspaper
carrier, who was shot down in hail
of bullets intended for Mickey Nc
Donald, Washington gambler, it was
decided at q conference today.
Participating in the conference
we're Chief Judge Hammond Urner,
Judge Charles w. Woodward, Judge
Arthur D. Willard, who compose the
bench Of the sixth Maryland district:
States Attorney James H. Pugh OF
Montgomery County and Secretary OF
State Thomas L. Dawson, counsel for
Sutton, it was learned.
Previous Date Set.
A previous conference between the
justices in Frederick had resulted in
the trial date being set for March 2.
When Dawson was apprised of the
justices decision, he sought the aid
of the States attorney, and together
they arranged today's conference,
which resulted in the trials being
carried over to the end Of the month.
Dawson made it plain that he sought
postponement only because of the
approaching special session of the
General Assembly, which will require
his presence in Annapolis.
Under indictment with Sutton are
William Cleary, John (Slim) Dunn
and Ernest Myers. The quartet is ac-
cused of killing the newspaper delivery
man on the early morning of October
%, 1884, as they lay in wait for Nc
Donald, thinking Wilson to be the
gambler.
Sutton is the only one of the four
with counsel at this time. He and his
codefendants now are being held in
District Jail pending arraignment in
Rockville Tuesday afternoon.
Separate Trial Plan.
A separate trial will be sought for
Sutton, Dawson said tonight. He
stated. however, that he would take no
formal steps for severance for his
ullt4 Oll vi S1lOI bN1OlC lklC
trial date.
The defense attorney also said that
he would do nothing to oppose the
transfer of his client from Washington
to Montgomery County, although he
would not waive his rights to fight ex-
tradition if he finds out that he has
the legal right to do so.
All arrangements to bring the men
to Rockville Tuesday have been def
nitely completed, it was revealed to-
night. Attorney General Cummings
paved the way for the removal when
he ruled that the men could be taken
to Montgomery for purposes of prose
cution."
The men will be brought here under
heavy Federal guard and returned to
the District Jail under the same guard
after the arraignment.
Judge Woodwa ID, it was learned,
will be the only member of the bench
70 attend the arraignment and he ill
preside over the proceedings.

BRITISH SEEN OPPOSED.
Rumored Seeking to Block Proposed
Central Alliance.

ROME, February % NP.-The re-
port ran through diplomatic circles to-
night that Great Britain seeks to block
the rumored efforts to establish an
alliance of Italy with Germany, Aus
tria, Hungary and Poland.
No diplomat was willing to assert
this report as a fact. but several
pointed to the departure for Vienna
of Sir Eric Drummond, British AM
bassador to Rome, as giving substance
to the suggestion Of a British ma
neuver.
Sir Eric let 1t be known he was
going to Vienna for dental work. It
was said he would stay in the Austrian
capital a week.
The same diplomats who saw more
behind his trip said they remembered
that when Sir Eric was secretary to
the League of Nations he was instru-
mental in getting financial aid for
Austria. His word would mean much
with that country's officials, they sug-
gested.
Peace Plea Rumored.
Another report which ran the
gamut of speculation was that Emper-
or Halle Selassie of Ethiopia was ask
ing for peace through negotiations at
Geneva. League of Nations and
Ethiopian officials denied there had
been such move.)
The purported peace proposal was
said by informed sources to have been
caused by q steady advance of the
Italian army in Northern Ethiopia,
over the route once followed by the ILL
fated Italian expedition of lS95-9e.
The Fascist forces were reported
today to be only Is miles from Amba
AlajL the farthest point reached by
the old expedition which was turned
back with terrific losses.
The new Italian advance followed
months of preparations and guerilla
fighting around Makale, reached by
the Italians last year almost without
opposition.
Then, last week. the Italians, having
brought up supplies and communica-
tion facilities through the rain-soaked
valleys of the north, launched q sud-
den drive which found the Ethiopian
forces under Ras Mulugheta un-
prepared.
The Italians stormed the heights of
Amba Aradam, the rocky promontory
overlooking the valleys to the south
ward and which the Ethiopians had
boasted was impregnable.
Military authorities indicated that
the Italian tactics probably would be
repeated, with another wave of SOL
diers being launched forward in the
near future behind the advance bombs
Of Italian airplanes.
In the forefront Of Italian interest
Is the meeting of the League of Ma.
tions Sanctions Committee, which al
ready has imposed financial and eco
nomic embargoes against the country,
on March 2, the date advocated by
Great Britain.
In its forthcoming session, the COM
mittee will discuss the application of
an oil embargo against Italy. The
Mussolini government already has
taken steps against such an eventu-
atty, advocating the development of
petroleum substitutes for fuel and
strict economy.
