MOUNT VERNON. Ohio, May "a
ASSOC verdic. for Margie Heaton Dill
In her So, 900 alienation of affections
suit against former Senator c. c. Dill
and Mrs. Grace Dill headed the case
today toward higher court.
IT will appeal to the highest courts
Of the State before I will pay a penny
In this case" Dill said as he left for
Washington, D. c., late yesterday, just
before a common plea jury brought in
the verdict for the second time.

said 1.-The case undoubtedly will be
appealed" He has three weeks in
which to present an appeal.

Judge Philip L. wilkins accepted
the verdict an hour and a half after
refusing similar one on the ground
that the jury had failed to answer
adequately an interrogatory in which
he required explanation for connecting
the former Senator with the case If a
Judgment were given against him.
Mrs. Grace Dill, mother-in-laW OF
Margie Heaton Dill, refused to COM
ment on the verdict in her home in
Fredericktown. Margie Heaton Dill
charged in her complaint that her
mother-in-law and the former Senator
from Spokane, Wash. an uncle by
marriage, alienated the affections OF
Wendell Dill, with whom she eloped
after high school romance, and ar
ranged an illegal operation for her a
month after her marriage in 1884.
There was no reference in the YER
dict to the alleged illegal operation.

Mustn'tBe

Highway Commission
Hears From Local
Delegation
DEMAND ACTION
Waynick Ordered to Wash.
ington to Confer With
War Department

The large delegation from this
city and section which yesterday
urged the State Highway & Pub
lie Works Commission to term
mate the long delay on the Cam
den -Currituck shortcut project
stirred up the Commission to the
end that it directed its chairman.
Capus M. Waynick, to go to
Washington as soon as passible to
confer with War Department Of
ficlas on the matter.
Confronted by a large delega-
ton, armed with facts, figures,
records and arguments galore, the
Highway Commission was quick
to take this step which neceSsar-
lily must be the first step taken
towards getting work started on
the shortcut before Governor
EhringhauS goes out of office.
Chairman Waynick was in
Structed to invite Congressman
Lindsay Warren and members of
the Albemarle delegation to &C
company him to Washington.
In Washington an attempt will
be made to persuade the War De-
partmnet to revise its stated re-
quirementS of a 1,500-foot
StraightaWay approach and 100
foot horizontal draw clearance
for the bridge across North River
tha tiS an integral part Of the
short cut plans.

claims that in order to meet War
Department requirements, they
would need approximately $780,
600 more than they have allocat-
ed for this project, and that it is
impossible for them to raise that
amount of money now or at any
time in the near futre.
The War Department so far
has turned a deaf ear to requests
to mitigate its demands, but an
imp essive delegation headed by
Chairman Waynick and Congress-
man Warren might be able to
turn the trick. At least, such was
the hope voiced at yesterdays
hearing before the Highway Com
mission on this matter.

French Moving
On La ROGUE
With Caution
Realize Gravity of Rise of
Fascism; Prepare
For Action
BY HAROLD ETTLINGER

United Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Oct. 8 CUP)-The
French government tonight was
faced with the ticklish problem
of keeping it's Communist sup
porters within the law with one
hand and with the other, find
ing proof of illegal activity OF
Col. Francois De La ROGUE,
Fascist leader, whose offices were
raided yesterday.
The government, in the midst
of dealing with rightists as a di-
rect outgroWth of Communist
meeting and counter -demonstra-
ton in Paris last Sunday, now
faces an equally delicate task in
Alsace-Lorraine. Communists at
a belated celebration of an elec-
tiop victory, announced that 120
meetings would be held through
out the redeemed territory.
The government had just an
nounced prohibition of all meet
ings, and was trying to keep its
own Communist supporters from
breaking the law.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
De La ROGUE and the trans-At-
lantic flier, Jean Mermoz, will be
notified tomorrow of their indict-
ment for reorganizing the out
lawed Fascist League and for con-
voking their followers in an il
legal demonstration.
The indictments already have
named De La ROGUE and Mer-
moz in charges drawn up prior to
the wholesale raids on their
homes and offices of the French
social party, but do not become
effective until formal notification
is given by the examining magis-
trate.
De La ROGUE told the press he
was confident nothing would be
found, although sources close to
the Investigators said the evid-
dence seemed sufficient to back
up the indictments.
The government tried to arbi-
trate with the Communists. Al
ter conversations between Pre-
mier Leon Blum and the Com
munisty deputy, Jacques Duclos,
it was announced the Communists
agreed to reduce the number of
meetings in Alsace-Lorraine from
100 to 10, and assured that those
attending would not parade the
streets insult Germany or sing
the International.
However, other Communist
sources denied any such agree
ment. AS a result Of the plan for
the meetings, all big towns in the
territory were placarded by right
lists Indignantly protesting and
announced counter demonstra-
tions for Monday at Mulhouse
and other centerS.

According to hospital attaches
last night the elder Copeland had

he objected and the father grab

Army Officers
Have New and
Natty Uniform

washington, Oct. 9-CUP)-
Some of the war department S
most astute military tacticians,
after months of tireless effort,
came out tonight with new
three-in -one blue uniform for the
well dressed officer during the
1861 social season.
The announcement created the
biggest stir in local fashion cir
cles since Prof, Rexford G. Tug
well let it be known he was think
ing of dressing the resettlement
administration field agents in
natty uniforms of green and
brown-the pastures and fields
motif. That idea was dropped,
as quietly as possible, soon after
it was thought up.
The war department, however,
has approved the new uniform
and any officer who wants the
really latest style may buy and
wear one beginning tomorrow.
The ensemble is described by
the army's fashion writer as con-
sisting of dark blue roll-collar
coat and light blue trousers, eX-
actly like the trousers worn with
the present blue dress uniform. "
The beauty of the new outfit,
according to the anonymous style
expert, is that eventually it will
replace the present blue dress, full
dress, and the social evening uni
forms. BY judicious selection Of
a tie, a belt, some gold shoulder
loops, or a saber, the same uni
form can be made to serve three
different purposes, dress, tull
dress or social evening wear.
