HOEPPEL' PLEA
Tells Justice Adkins Release

Precedent.

in the District workhouse at Deco.
guam, Va, United States Attorney
Leslie @. Garnet told Justice Jesse c.
Adkins Of District Court today that
release Of the Californian Represent
ative would set . dangerous prece-
dent.
Contending that the local courts
have no Jurisdiction over a prisoner
held outside the District, Garnett said
favorable action Of the Hoeppel writ
would bring . flood Of similar petit
tions into District Court from Federal
prisons throughout the country on
the theory that the head of the Fed
eral prison system resides here.
Only the court whose territory Of
Jurisdiction includes the place of q
prisoners incarceration has power to
act in habeas corpus proceedings,
Garnet argued, pointing out that
mere service within the Jurisdiction of
the prisoners custodians is not suffi-
cient.
Garnett said he was acting under
orders from the Department of Justice.

Justice Adkins made no decision in
the matter today because Of . plea
by Hoeppels attorney, John J. Nc
0innb, for more time in which to
study the Governments motion to
quash the writ.
McGinnis said . copy of the motion
was served on him only this morning
and asked to be given until January
to file brief in reply. His request
was granted. Hoeppel and his son,
Charles ]. Hoeppel, were convicted in
District Court in December, 1885, for
conspiring to sell q West Point ap-
pointment for $1,000, and each was
sentenced to imprisonment for from
four months to one year. Both were
committed to Occoquan about q

tion among the Chests IS agencies.
The committee, Of which Thomas p.

save public parks from damage in

plode in a fine burst Of indignant
expression. Just such a thing hap
pened to enliven the scene today.
One listener had had his fill Of
amateurs, and says so in such cold
fury his letter reads like the Bill
Of Rights. Here it is:
'Dear Sir:
you and other radio cOlum-
nistS have written much about
the amateurs, and how their
popularity is ths wonder Of this

express myself on the subject.
"Of all the palpably poor en-

is the worst. The best Of this
type Of broadcast is terrible, and
from this peak it works down to
the point where 1t is indescrib

CINCINNATI. September 26.-Rev.
Charles Z. Coughlin studied in Phila-
delphia today rebuke from Most Rev.
John T. McNicholas Of the Cincinnati
Catholic diocese for his reference to
President Roosevelt as "anti-God" and
his advocacy of "use of bullets" against
ANY upstart dictator"
II remember very well how they
prosecuted Mahommed," said the Royal
Oak, Mich, radio priest Is he received
last night . report of Archbishop Nc
Nicholas comment. in which the
archbishop said, There is no excuse
for melting in the people . spirit Of
violent rebellion against conditions
which do not actually exist and may
never exist"
Archbishop McNicholas expressed
hope that Father Coughlin would
"retract" the bullets" assertion and
had "transgressed bounds If he made
the statement attributed to him-that
President Roosevelt is anti-God." The
''anti-0o statement followed one that
Mr.. Roosevelt says destroy and devas-
tate" contrary to biblical tenets.
Father Coughlin knows the mean
ing Of anti-Go in its broad accepta-
ton and the definite meaning now
attached to It," he said. II am making
no statement for or against President
Roosevelt, for or against the Repub-
1ican. Democratic or Union parties.
but am insisting. as = public moral
teacher, that Father Coughlin trans
gressed bounds If he made the state
ment attributed to him-that Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is anti-God."
Father Coughlin's immediate supe-
flor, Bishop Michael J. Gallagher Of
Detroit, said he agreed with the radio
priests assertion concerning bullets,
made here Thursday night at a rally
of the National Union for Social JUS
tice, which Father Coughlin heads.
Despite reported rumblings Of con-
cern from the Vatican, the Detroit
priest said last night he expected no
rebuke. Rome dispatches quoted
prelates as seeing possible a second
Vatican warning" The authorita-
tive Vatican newspaper Osservatore
Romano recently rebuked Father
Coughlin after he termed the Presi-
dent "liar."

MADRID. September 26 R.-
Fascist insurgents, pressing toward
Toledo in an attempt to rescue their
besieged fellows in the old Alcazar
fortress, fought re-enforced govern
ment militiamen only miles from
their goal today.
The Madrid administration sent
fresh troops to the town Of Bargas,
north of Toledo, to aid the soldiers
trying to stem the Fascist march. In
Toledo, the men, women and children,
who have withstood onslaughts on the
Alcazar for more than nine weeks,
