BERLIN, August 8.-Drafted from
the ranks of the unemployed to meet
an emergency, Jesse Owens sent the
American team off to a flying start
today as it equaled the world record
of 40 seconds fiat in the Olympic
400-meter relay trials, while the
American girls quartet also won their
opening sprint relay test and Fin
lands Volmari Iso-Hollo captured the
3,000-meter steeplechase for the Sec
ond straight time.
Meanwhile, on the turf within the
boundaries of the brick-red 400-meter
running track, Americas decathlon
trio Of Glenn Morris, Bob Clark and
Jack Parker, continued to dominate
the rigorous all-around competition
which found Morris leading Clark by
236 points after seven events.
Owens, jumping at the chance to
return to competition after three days
of idleness following his triple con-
quest earlier in the week, started per-
fectly. giving America a 5-meter lead
during his assignment, which his
mates. Ralph Metcalfe. Foy Draper
and Frank Wykoff steadily swelled to
IS meters over the Italian team.
1882 Record Equaled.
Owens, Metcalfe. Draper and Wy-
koff equaled the record established
by the 1882 American quartet at Los
Angeles, where Wykoff, the three-time
Olympian from Carpenteria, Calf,
also ran the anchor leg.
Italy, finishing second to the United
States, and Germany, beating out
Canada by one-tenth of a second,
were clocked in ALL seconds. The
other qualifers for the final, to be
run tomorrow, were Holland and Ar
gentina. The Dutch, regarded among
Americas main threats, were timed
in Alb.
The American women's team of
Harriet Bland, Annette Rogers, Betty
Robinson and Helen Stephens, the
Olympic 100-meter champion, was
timed in All seconds, beating Can
ada, but the German girls stole the
show, winning their heat in 46.4 Sec
onds, one-tenth of a second under
their world record.

CHICAGO FUTURES SLUMP.
Losses Of % to AZ Points Recorded

CHICAGO. August 8 Lp).-Cotto,l
futures on the Board of Trade broke
% to AZ points today after release of
the Governments report estimating
the crop at 12,481 900 bales.
The market had closed for 20 min
utes to receive the report This was
the only cotton futures market open
after the figures we're released.
Trade Interpretation of the Govern
ment's forecast was bearish. Many
private market authorities had antici-
pated the estimate on production
would be smaller.
The market generally had worked
slightly lower from the previous close
at the time trading was halted tenn
porarily at 1885 am. Eastern stand
ard time). Prices at that time were
of to 10 points.
When trading was resumed it was
active but orderly. Brokers estimated
approximately 10000 bales were ex-

COURT OVERRULED,
BOY TO Be FREED
Judge Bentley Exceeded Her
Authority in Sentencing
Youth, Bailey Holds.

Holding that Juvenile Court Judge
Fay Bentley had exceeded her author
ity in sentencing 15-year-old Charles
I. johnson to the National Training
School for six years, Justice Jennings
Bailey today signed an order in Dis
trict Court directing that the youth BE-
released.
johnson was convicted January 20
1888, on an illegal entry charge and
placed on a years probation by Judge
Bentley. During the following June.
however, he missed several days from
school and the Juvenile Court Judge
revoked his probation and placed him
in home maintained by the Board Of
Public Welfare.
Two months later, the youth
escaped. He went with his mother, Mrs.
Eva H. Johnson, to Capitol Heights,
Md. where he lived with his grand
mother for several months. Then he
obtained Job at Sl4.50 a week in the
Agriculture Department, staying there
until he was arrested again by order
Of Judge Bentley. She ordered him
sent to the National Training School
until he became of age
Mrs. johnson, through Attorneys
Fred Icenhower and William K.
Teepe. instituted habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, contending the boy had been
deprived of his contitutional rights in
the Juvenile Court proceedings. Her
principal contention was that Judge
Bentley had no authority to commit
year term since his original sentence
was for one year.
Justice Bailey, in granting the ap-
plication for the writ and ordering
the boys release, did not state the
reasons behind his decision.

OBSTACLE CLEARED
DIVIDEND
.S1,100,000 to Be Released
for Depositors of Federal
American.

One Of the biggest stumbling blocks
to another possible dividend for $4,000
depositors of the Federal-American
National Bank & Trust Co., was
cleared away today.
Receiver Cary A. Hardee of the
closed institution announced he had
received a stipulation from the plain
tiffs in the Davis suit agreeing not
to contest further a court decision
upholding the right of the receiver
to collect an assessment from stock
holders Of this bank.
The plaintiffs had lost their court
battle in both the District Court and
the Court of Appeals, and the stipula-
tion agreed not to request either a
rehearing in the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals OF to apply for a
writ Of certioyari to the United States
Supreme Court.
To Release s1,100,0O0.
This stipulation, Receiver Hardet
explained, will end this case and re-
lease approximately $1,000 hereto
fore collected by the receiver from the
stockholders of the bank and held in
trust pending the outcome of the
Davis Trust Co. suit"
Receiver Hardee also stated that COL
lections on the stock assessment have
been more than satisfactory, espe-
cially in view of the contest" He
added that it was now his intention
ito make a special effort to collect
the remainder, it being realized that
some few have withheld payment
pending the outcome of the suit. The
collections heretofore had are far
above the average from stock assess
ment claims" he explained.
While the clearing up of this case
removes one of the principal obstacles
which for months has delayed con-
sideration of second dividend to de-
positors, it does not mean another
dividend will be forthcoming immedi-
ately. Many other steps will have to
be taken by the receiver, and there was
no prospect today as to when a divi-
dend could be paid, nor how much il
would be.
Still Owes r. F. c. Sum.
The closed bank still owes some
thing less than 100000 to the Re-
construction Finance Corporation or
an original loan of $2,650,000. 1t is
understood the receiver might take
steps next to pay off this loan if pos
sible and look forward in the future
to another loan from the R. F. c. or
the remaining assets of the institution
when possible.
The Davis suit was brought by the
Davis Trust Co., of Elkins, w. Va.
as trustee for Halle D. Elkins anc
John T. Davis and others, who con-
tested the stock assessment Levied
against the stockholders of the Fed
eral American National Bank & Trust
Co. The assessment was upheld in the
District Court, then known as the
District Supreme Court, and the CASE
dismissed on motion of the receiver
Appeal was taken by the Davis interest.
to the Court of Appeals and the as
sessment was again upheld. The plain.
tiffs in this case represented approx
mately $4,000 Of the $4,000, 1000 stock
outstanding.

NEUTRALITY PLAN
Russia's Adherence Must Be
Assured, However. Say
Berlin Officials.
BY the associated Press

BY the associated Press.
BERLIN. August 8.-The neutrality
Of Soviet Russia in Spain's civil wal
must be assured before general
European non-intervention policy
such as is proposed by the French
can be effective, the foreign office
stated today.
The NaZi government agreed Sin
principle" with the French proposal
that the rest of Europe keep its
fingers out of the Spanish situation,
but attached reservations as to the
character and scope of its neutrality.
Fully aware of the catastrophe po-
tentialitie5 of the Spanish embroglio,
Germany is cooperating with other
European powers in an effort to
evolve a really effective neutrality
plan, the foreign office made plain.
Will Use Arms If Necessary.
Nevertheless, the Hitler government
made no secret of the fact it in
tended to protect its nationals by
force of arms if necessary.
It emphasized its demands on Ma
drid and Barcelona for reparation for
loss of life and property in Spain
with a display of naval force around
the coast of the Spanish peninsula.
Eight German warships lay in Span
ish waters to emphasize the deter
mination of the Wilhelmstrasse to
brook no further interference with
the rights of German citizens in the
war-torn infant republic.
Andre Francois-Poncet, the French
Ambassador to Berlin, who twice this
week has visited Konstantin Won Neu-
rath, was assured by the German
foreign minister that this country
welcomes in principle the idea of
neutrality agreements if they could
be made collective.
In the first conversation with Won
Neurath, the ambassador merely
asked the views of the German gov
ernment on the neutrality agreement.
On a second visit he submitted
specific proposals for carrying out
neutrality - such as embargoes on
arms and airplanes.
Won Neurath replied the German
government welcomed the ideas and
would give them most careful study.
Alfonso Talks Denied.
A report that former King Alfonso
Of Spain was coming to Berlin for a
conference with Chancellor Hitler, or
that he planned to talk with both
Hitler and Count Ciano, the Italian
minister of foreign affairs, was des-
cribed here as foolish
A hint of German strong-arm
methods to obtain satisfaction for
alleged mistreatment of German ma
tlonals in Spain was contained in a
statement published by the Kreuz-
zeitung, which said:
IF the Madrid and Barcelona gov
ernments are no longer able to pro-
tect the lives and property Of for
eigners, they need not be surprised
if official recognition is withdrawn
from them and if other nations
adopt joint scheme of protection
for their subjects against Bolshevist
fury"
