ANDON PUSHES DROUGHT RELIEF FOR KANSAS FARMERS
Judge Tries Scare
On Pair, Succeeds
BevOnd Belief!

The grim specter of five long
years in prison stared for brief
moment today directly into the
faces of Floyd and Goldie Cubert-
son, colored, as they faced Police
Court Judge Robert E. Mattingly
on charges of diSorderly conduct
growing out of domestic quarrel
which flared up yesterday at
their home in the 1900 block of
B st. N. E.
On the testimony of Policeman
Harry Hildrup, Judge Mattingly
found the pair guilty and in
stentorian tones sentenced them
to pay fines of $1,000 each or
spend five years in jail.
Both defendants looked be
seemingly at Policeman Hilldrup,
who looked a trifle bewildereo
himself.
But the grim specter of the peni
tertiary retreated at the judges
next announcement in which he
amended his verdict to read 1926
or 80 days" The specter abrutly
left the courtroom when that sen
tence was suspended. Said Judge
Mattingly, whose sentences under
the law can not run longer than
one year:
81 just wanted to scare them"
Said Floyd Cubertson, as he
strobe rapidly from the courtroom
with his arm about Goldie's
waist:
"Whew!"

DON JUAN, KING
CONFER WITH
N0NARCHISTS
Royalty at Cannes
Discusses Bourbon
Restoration

CANNES, France. July q
G.N.SO.-Deposed Spanish royal
ty was converging on the French
Riviera today, drawing near to the
borders of the country they ruled
only five short years ago, and ru-
morS flew that plans were under
way for a restoration of their
Bourbon line.
Don Juan Arrives
Don Juan, heir presumptive, has
been here for several days. His
mother. former Queen Ena, ar.
rived today at Cap Martin. And
former King Alfonso was expected
here shortly from Marienbad
Czechoslovakia. where he has kept
wires humming during the past
week in communication with mon
archist leaders.
All eyes were focused on a
conference to be held soon be
tween Don Juan and Alfonso's
court marshal, Marquis de Viana,
presumably regarding restoration
plans, in the light of the Span
ish rightist revolt. He left Ma
rienbad today.
Separation Maintained
AS has been the case for the
past several years, Ena and AL
fonso will live separately. While
the ex-Queen stays at Cap Mar
tin, Alfonso will some here.
Their estrangement is the princi
pal reason monarchists favor
Don Juan for the throne now.
Ena will, however, be within
easy calling distance if needed
during the consultations, and
was pictured as being deeply in
terested in the prospects of her
sons being called to Madrid as
king.

Vermont Senator Says
Home Rule at Stake
in Election.

Warning against centralization OF
legislative powers in the White House,
Senator Warren R. Austin, Republican.
of Vermont told the League of Re-
publican Women yesterday that the
paramount issue in the forthcoming
presidential campaign will be the
preservation of home rule and bal
anced Federal system"
Destruction of home rule is the
philosophy of the New Deal" Austin
declared as he outlined past and pend
ing legislation, which, he said, at
tempts to invest the President with
powers which have been delegated to
Congress through the Constitution.
There are now IA acts before Con-
gress which undertake to override the
Supreme Court" he stated. The re-
election of Roosevelt, he predicted,
would permanently strip Congress Of
its original legislative functions.
Cites A. A. A.
For examples of past legislation
which has sought the creation of a
government entirely centralized in
one man," he cited the Agriculture
Adjustment Administration. the gold
reserve act of 1884, and the tariff act.
And in the past few days, he added,
there has arisen a glowing instance
of the Exercise of power to denote
and punish without hearing"
But the sun is about to rise on
America" he said. Our sanity has
been reawakened by the Supreme
Court" which has presented to us
in concrete form real picture Of the
New Deal"
Sees Courage to Fight.
Americans have long had the cour-
age to fight for their constitutional
rights he declared, and have the
character and virtue to preserve the
gifts passed on to them by their FORE
fathers"

dent of the league, urged Republican

Marlboro Team
Wins Soccer
Clash
BY SID KATZNELL

Displaying educated toes and
excellent team work, Marlboro
Soccerists outkicked Greenock, 2
to 8, to retain possession Of the
Mortstein Trophy, emblematic Of
the Southern Maryland Soccer
Championship, yesterday at Green
ock, Md. Each member Of the
victorious team will be given q
useful gift by the league.
It was necessary for Marlboro
to win two games out Of a three
game series before it was crowned
the champion. Marlboro took the
initial game, 5 to j, but the Green
ock players with fire in their eyes
played like champions and de-
feated Marlboro, 6 to 8, in the
second contest. You know Mari
boro won the final game.
Capt, Albert Wells was the in
dividual hero in the final game,
scoring four goals. He was ably
supported by Charles wilson
Clevie Buck. who passed the ball
around with uncanny accuracy,
which enabled Wells to score two
Of his four goals. Gene Wayson
performed brilliantly for tn e
losers.
The first half was q nip and
tuck affair. When the first half
whistle sounded the score was 8
and 2 in favor Of Marlboro.
However, the complexion Of the
game changed from roSey red to
blue for the Greenock boys as the
Marlboro hooters "got hot" and
penetrated Greenock's defense to
register four goals.

told him different. AS o pitcher,
he split even with nine out Of 18

Looms as Star
0nMound

Dale Patterson, Indian Head.
Nd, youth who did his first pitch
ing for his fraternity in intra-
mural baseball at the University
Of Maryland last spring, bids fair
to become one of the mainstays
of Coach Burton Shipley's varsity
nine that opens its season against
Ohio State at 4 o'clock tomorrow
at College Park.
Patterson came out for the 1884
freshman team as an intielder but
did not show enough to get o
chance with the varsity last
spring. He then turned to intra-
mural ball and during the sum-
mer he hurled for his home town
team at Indian Head.
Gains Pitching Berth
He came to Coach Shipley just
before baseball practice started
this spring and asked for q tryout.
He showed enough from the out
set to warrant plenty Of consider
alton and indications are now that
he will be among the first three
ON the staff.
Patterson, q six-foot highlander,
was very youthful and scaled only
about 155 pounds when he re.
ported for the freshman squad.
Now he has matured and weighs
1SO. AS pitching Is what Shipley
needs badly for his tough 25-game
schedule, Patterson's development
has been q source Of keen gratifi-
cation.
Might Hurl Friday
It is probable that he will see
action in Fridays game with Ohio
State that will wind up the Buck
eyes two-game stay at College
Park.
Walter johnson will toss out the
first ball tomorrow. President H.
c. Byrd and the athletic board
will be on hand and the 60-piece
band will play.
Maryland will line up as follows:
Thomas, catcher; Wheeler, third:
