Der 5.-A Madison County jury found
Sheriff r. A. Malone Of Greene
County guilty on two charges of
public intoxication after Is minutes
deliberation today.
Circuit Judge Lemuel F. Smith
entered judgment that the sheriff be
ousted from Office, but suspended ex-
ecution so days in order to give de-
fense counsel time in which to seek

tion to set aside the verdict as con-
trary to the law and evidence, and
placed Malone under $500 suspension

intoxication on seven specific occa-
sions.

victed charged intoxication In the
court room on May 20, and the other

tions between the sheriff and Early,
one Of the petition signers.

cution witness that he signed the
petition to "see if we could clean up
the county"

FRANCE WILL END
SYRIAN MANDATE
Accord to Be Signed Sept. 9
Paves Way for Inde-
pendence.
BY the Associated Press.

6y Tue AooOCldJeo EteoS.
PARIS, September Syria, a
French mandate, will be launched on
its way to independence, officials an
nounced tonight, in treaty with
France ending the mandate in 1889.
The accord, which is to be signed
September 9, is the result of weeks of
negotiations between Syrian National
lists and the French foreign Office and
army officers.
During the three-year period of the
transition, the Syrian Lebanese Re-
publics and the administrative divi-
sions of Lattakia and Jebel Druse
will be unified
French troops, under terms of the
pact, will be reduced in Syria, and
those that remain will be garrisoned
in specified districts.
Syrian Nationalists have agitated
vigorously for independence. Earlier
this year student strikes in several
Syrian cities, in which hundreds were
killed and wounded, brought warn
ing from French officials campaign
of chaos" would delay independence
France, however. promised treaty
of independence on lines similar to
the agreement between Iraq and Brit
ain, but the extreme Nationalist in
Syria regarded it as unsatisfactory.
They asked immediate and COM
plete independence of the mandate.
Syria is a former province of the
old Turkish empire, made an inde-
pendent state by the treaty of Sevres,
August 10, 1920,' and administered un-
der the mandate given to France by
the Supreme Council of the allied
powers, which became effective Sep
tember 20, 1923.

Socialist government troops and con-
solidated forces for attack on nearby
forts,
The Fascists drove of desperate
government fighters who sought to
retain the Spanish end of the bridge
into France after fleeing the rebel fire
that marked the fall of Irun.
Four armored cars, camouf1aged
with tree branches, rumbled through
the ruined city and bore down on
the fleeing Irun defenders, who sought
refuge in a few isolated trenches and
fields.
The city itself was a mass of wreck
age, the streets Uttered with bodies
and blasted paving block barricades.
Several converts were destroyed by
fire. The largest hotel was burned.
Interiors of houses were destroyed by
flames, their walls SCARED with bull
lets and shrapnel. Windows were
shattered.

Of its women and children who fed
before their men abandoned the de-
fense, the Fascist rebels shouted VIC
tory songs and stopped to gulp timed
food left in wrecked cafes.
The fate of Fascist hostages held
by government defenders of Irun
was unknown. There were reports 100
of the war prisoners were executed,
but hundreds of others still were be-
lieved held in the government forts.
Three hundred Socialists from San
Sebastian joined Irun government
troops in the unsuccessful attempt
to retain the international bridge
head.
The government militia retreated
hastily, carrying with them supplies
of ammunition received from Bar
celona, under the scathing hail of
rebel machine gun fire.
A heavy barrage OF artillery pro-
tected the rebel attack on the bridge.
Three of the Socialist force which
held the approach to the bridge on
the Spanish side throughout the
night were left dead. Five were
wounded. Thirty-five more fed to
safety on French soil.
Ten government anarchists died In

The cabinets decisions on neutral

problems are expected to be an
nounced after they are communicated
to President Lebrun Monday.

not given.

cialists. remains in session to hear

Demands for Socialists.
The Communist party also awaited
reply to a demand made yesterday
to Socialists that they join In a Joint
Communist-Socialist delegation to ask
Premier Blum to end the non-inter-
vention policy in the Spanish civil
war.
Strike threats recalled the wave of
folded arms" strikes which caused
more than 100000 Frenchmen to
halt work while the Blum government
early in its career this Spring passed
social-labor legislation.
A petition to the premier from
1000 automobile factory workers
asked the government to support
our courageous Spanish comrades. 4"
Their petition came after q 30-minute
strike yesterday at the Hotchkiss
works at Levallois.
Further and more energetic action
was promised "if the blockade is not
lifted" permitting aid to be sent to
the Spanish Communist-Socialist gov
eminent.
But Premier Blum, who initiated
the general European movement for
neutrality and non-intervention in
Spain, was reported standing by his
original intentions.
It was indicated, however, the gov
ernment might try to smooth over the
workers demands by contending
neutrality by all nations and complete
bans on the shipment Of munitions to
either the Madrid government or the
Fascist rebels would, in effect, be Of
benefit to the government side.
The French Leftist government,s
more moderate group Of supporters
declared the Communist demands for
assistance to Madrid Socialists were
based upon charges that Germany and
Italy were supplying aid to the
Fascist rebels.
Under the general non-intervention
agreement. it was declared, no nation
could render aid.
That solution of the problem, 1t was
said, would be better one than "to
I give Germany and italy an excuse" for
open intervention on behalf Of the
rebels.

Government Troops Rain Shells on
Crumbling Walls.

tCopyright. 1896. by the Associated PressD
TOLEDO, Spain, September S.
Clouds of smoke rose tonight from
the southern battlements of the be-
leagured AlcaZar as government troops
rained heavy shells on its crumbling
walls. preparatory to storming the
citadel.
Asturian miners worked in the
smoking ruins of the military head
quarters at the foot of the walls,
clearing ground for the attempt to
break the rebels resistance to their
weeks-long siege.
Through the night, men armed with
hand grenades stormed the outer build
ings of the once magnificent military
academy, drove the rebels from their
hiding places and fired the building.
Their purpose was to clear the
ground over which the insurgents
might seek to make q last desperate
lunge for liberty.
The cleared swath through the
debris also would make a road for
loyal forces when they stormed the
building.
Government artillery, meanwhile,
kept pouring shells into the fortress
where breaches in the thick masonry
walls kept widening. Two of the
northern walls were ready to tumble
in ruins while arches could be seen
blasted out of the buildings inside
where shells had hit them.
The northeast tower crumbled under
fire from the governments and
inch guns and huge masses of stone
hurtled into pile Of wreckage at the
base.
The battery scored a direct hit on
the northwestern tower in the after
noon.
Eight soldiers who had been held
prisoners in the Alcazar by their
officers escaped during the night.
They told loyal officers that the
rebels had virtually exhausted their
food and that the Alcazar well, run
ming dry. no longer could quench
the thirst of the almost 1000 persons
inside the centuries-old walls.

of $2,570,110, according to the monthly
report of Building Inspector John W.
Oehmann, made public today.
The valuation was approximately
$4,000 under May, 1885, marking the

issued for 1877 single-family dwellings,
valued at $1,333,550, and "a apart
ments with capacity of only 140
families.
While the value of new construc-
tion was greater this May than last,
the report for the month showed a
large decrease in repairs, alterations
and additions to existing structures.
The valuation of such modernization
work was s399,66O, as compared with
$806,210 for May, 1885.
