LONDON, July 17.-George Andrew
Mcmahon, whose loaded revolver mem
aced King Edward yesterday. said to-
day the weapon was not knocked from
his hand in the struggle on Constitu-
ton Hill, but that he deliberately threw
1t into the street near the King as the
monarch rode by.
This version was relayed by an
authoritative source who said the bald,
club-footed Irishman told police he
never had the least intention of Shoot
ing the King
Mcmahon was taken to a hospital
ward for mental observation and medi-
cal treatment.
In an effort to get a clear account
of the incident, Scotland Yard sent out
q call for volunteer witnesses. Scores
Of spectators responded, streaming in
to be interviewed by police officials.
Woman May Hold Fate.
McMahon's fate may lie with the
still mysterious woman in gray" who.
witnesses said, knocked the prisoners

rode before a military parade yester-
day.

the true story of McMahon's attempt,
but the police did not make her name
public, and they were said to be shield
ing her from public contacts until the
prisoner appears in court next week.
Rumors circulated that the woman
Is an American.
King Edward, seemingly uncon-
cerned by the apparent attempt on his
life, busted himself with the usual af-
fairs Of state at York House while
messages of congratulation poured in
from the whole world.
Mcmahon was identified as an Irish
man, the son Of John Bannigan Of
Glasgow. The father said his sons
original name was Jerome Bannigan,
but that it was changed three years
ago.
Scotland Yard appealed for wit

which said: I'm connection with, the

JOBLESS INSURANCE
ARGUMENTS CLOSED
Clashing Views Are Presented
in Test Case Before
Supreme Court.

BY the Associated Press.
Clashing views on the constitution
ality Of the New York unemployment
insurance act were presented to the
Supreme Court yesterday as argu-
ments were closed and the case went
to conference for decision.
Defending the legislation. which
taxes employers to aid those out of
work, Henry Epstein, New York solici-
tor general. contended it was a func-
ton of the State to prescribe for So
cial ills.
Frederick H. Wood, New York at
torney. asserted unemployment was
not the fault Of the employers. but
grew out Of variety of national and
world conditions that affect supply
and demand.
Another opposing lawyer, James
Mccormick Mitchell of Buffalo, ar
gued the legislation would increase
unemployment because employers
would tend to reduce their force to
keep from paying taxes into the job
less fund.
A decision on validity Of the act,
which embodies New Deal principles
and is supplementary to the Federal
social security law, is possible on De-
cember 7. The ruling, Epstein said.
will AFFECT unemployment insurance

B00TLEGGING IS HIGHLY
ORGANIZED, SAYS REPORT
Institute of Public Administra-
tion Calsl for Enlargement Of
Enforcement Agencies
Bs the Associated Press.

D. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 13.-Assert-
ing the bootlegging business "is as
highly organized since repeal as it was
during prohibition" the Institute of
Public Administration last night called
for an enlargement of law-enforce-
ment agencies. -,..
The institute, announcing the first
of a series of conclusions based on
two-year study Of the liquor problem,
estimated 10000, 900 gallons of un-
taxed liquor were produced in 1885 as
compared with the withdrawal of
82,s16,000 gallons Of tax-paid spirits.
Luther Gulick, director Of the insti-
tute, which has engaged in the study
Of State and national governmental
problems since 1921, said the organi-
Eation reported the results OF the sur
vey mot because the institute has any
interest in the liquor problem as such,
but because the key to success or fall
ure Is apparently in administration"
"At present we lack the police man.
power to defeat the bootleggers; we can
eliminate some of them and only
harass Others" the report said. "The
alcohol tax unit should have at least
q thousand additional men. State
liquor law enforcement units should
also be considerably increased"

HECKSHER ORDERED
TO PAY OPERA STAR
New Yorker Loses Fight Against
Paying $4,000 Yearly to
Freida Hempel.
By the Assoeiateo Press.

NEW YORK, November 13.-Au-
gust Hecksher. wealthy real estate
operator and philanthropist, was or
dered today by the appellate division
to continue paying $4,000 yearly to
Frieda Hempel, former opera star,
under an agreement he signed in 1928.
Despite Heckshers contention he
was q victim Of extortion," the ap-
pellate court upheld an order Of
Supreme Court Justice Bernard l..
Shientag last June, under which the
philanthropist was ordered to pay
Miss Hempel, s3.s7s.48. which she
said was due her last December.
Counsel for Hecksher asserted JUS
tice Shientag's ruling was Q summary
proceeding which denied him q trial
on his claim that even II the agree
ment were good 1t was broken by
Miss Hempel's continued annoyance"
to him in violation of the agreement.
1T Is the contention Of the appel
liant (Hecksher) that he has been the
victim Of extortion and it appears
conclusively that the instrument upon
which this suit Is based was given to
obtain relief from further attempts
at extortion," said George r. Thomp-
son, counsel TO Hecksher. These at
tempts have been renewed constantly
up to the Summer OF 1885 and in
strict violation Of the agreement upon
which this action is predicated."
