socialist commanders attributed the
slowness of the insurgent attack on
the capital to stubborn resistance of
government troops operating in the
southwest sector near Aranjuez, where
Fascist communications were declared
weakened.
The high command reported vir-

day-the inquest into the fatal shoot
ing Friday night of Mrs. Verna Carr
Taylor, dark-eyed fiancee of Brig. Gen.
Henry H. Denhardt, former potent
figure in Kentucky political life, will
open here tomorrow.
Coroner D. L. Ricketts, announced
the hearing would be held there in
stead Of at a school house near the
roadside where the body of the attrac-
tive, 40-year-old La Grange widow
was found, to accommodate a request
Of Denhardt and an expected crowd.
Doctor With Denhardt.
While DR.. Arthur T. Mccormack,
head of the State health department,
said he was attempting to get Dem
hardt, boyhood friend, into "condi-
ton" to testify, the coroner and other
authorities sought clews which might
solve the mysterious death.
The answer may lie in the Louis
Vile police departments laboratory,
where Sergt John I. Messmer. police
criminologist, studied parafin casts
Of the hands of Denhardt and the VIC
tim, and tested Denhardt's .45-canber
revolver found near the woman's body.
Messmer has declined to disclose re-
suits Of his findings.
At the generals 800-acre farm near
La Grange, DIR. Mccormack described
Denhardt as in an "overwrought con-
dition" and said he did mot think it
advisable for any one to see him"
He quoted Denhardt, bald and so,
as saying Mrs. Taylor left him to go
up the road "in search of a glove"
while they waited near farm house
for a car battery to be brought from
La Grange. The general told the cor
oner the machine stalled while they
were motoring to relieve the fiancee's
headache.
Believes Gun Taken From Car.
DR.. Mccormack said the general ex-
pressed an opinion Mrs. Taylor took
the gun from his car.
Denhardt previously told the coro-
ner that he believed Mrs. Taylor killed
herself because of opposition of her
two daughters to her intention to
marry the former lieutenant governor
and adjutant general Of Kentucky.
DR.. Mccormack, president-elect Of
the American Public Health Associa-
tiOn said the general and Mrs Taylor
were planning to marry within week
or 10 days" and had discussed re-
modelling the two-story Denhardt
home.
He added he had attempted to
divert his friends mind OF the trag-
edy by talking over boyhood days, but
even then" he said. "Denhardt will
suddenly start talking about the
affair"

to increase the intensity of its organ
izing drive in the steel industry as an
answer to industry's barrage Of pay
increases.
Turning back to the action Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, the
board announced that the evils of the
sweat shop were already reappearing,
especially in the cotton garment in
dustry, and that reductions in wages of
so per cent and more from N. r. A.
| standards and increases in hours in
some areas of more than Is per cent
was undeniable proof of the immedi-
ate necessity for legislation on wages
and hours. In the clothing
industry alone, more than $4,000 men
and women have been put back to
work by the limitation of hours to 36
per week.
THE boards decision envisaged the
enactment Of the necessary legislation
within the framework Of the Constitu-
ton as it now stands, but provided
that if it should become necessary the
general officers of the Amalgamated
should work for the passage of con-
stitutional amendment to provide
basis for such legislation"
The board is in session again today.

ers' action, their board confined itself
to recommending legislation for that
industry alone, although their an
nouncement states that valuable re-
suits from a system of inter-industry
regulation and industry safe
guards" could be attained under law
similar to the recovery act.
This board also resumed its session
today, with attendance at the A. F.

Detroit's First National
Stockholders Must Pay,
Court Rules.
By the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI. November 1.-THE
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
held today that stockholders Of the
First National Bank Of Detroit were
liable, for double assessments on the
company's stock 1t made the finding
In afiirming a decision of the United
States District Court at Detroit.
approximately $25, 5,000, 900 in double
liability assessments were involved in
the case. In which George H. Barbour
and 30 other stockholders appealed on
behalf of 5000 shareholders who were
affected by the action of the con-
troller of the currency in levying dou-
Bile assessments against them after
the bank closed in 1888.
The Circuit Court concurred in the
lower courts decision holding that the
appellants were actual owners" of
stock in the bank irrespective Of the
fact that they had exchanged their
bank stock for shares in the Detroit
Bankers Co., holding company for
bank stock.
William F. Connolly, receiver for
the Detroit Bankers Co., had contend
ed that the duty of collecting double
liability assessments should fall upon
him. The lower court decreed that
Connolly had no interest in the judg-
ments when it dismissed the stock
holders suit together with all motions
to dismiss the cross-bill or counter
claim of C. o. Thomas, receiver for
the bank

wilful failure to meet the overdue pay
ments.
The favorite bonus spree" story of
many local veterans is that Of Sergt.
Denny O'Brien, 81 years old, and Will
liam Harvey, 56. They are both re-
tired Regular Army men Of long serv-
ice and they met here after coming to
Washington to get their bonus funds.
In the flush of their enthusiasm, the
sergeant told of his happy memories
of San Antonio, Tex, which he visited
in 1911. Harvey agreed with him that
it would be good place to visit. So
they hired the taxicab of Ray Rose,
local driver, and set out for San An
tonic. Rose charged them $3.50 after
the 2,400-mile trip and came on back
home, leaving them there.
And so, most veterans organization
leaders are convinced, the story of the
bonus is just fair cross-section of
the life of the men who fought for the
country in 1917-18; a story of struggle
for economic freedom, to build up
homes and families and to live as good
citizens.

many of them now are beginning to
come back. They are the cases of
veterans who had to put the few hun
dred dollars of their bonuses into back
rent, debts and medical treatments for
themselves and families, and who were
unable to find in their bonus certffi-
Gates new start in life.
Many veterans who received bonuses
felt grateful to the Government for its
aid. C. H. Durrer, 822 Shepherd street,
salesman, expressed his gratitude in
concrete form. He put 10 per cent of
his $790 bonus into the Roosevelt cam
paign fund. He saw % months Of
service during the war.
There are some to whom the bonus
brought no joy. One of these is
Anthony w. Carnella, retired police
man. Although he was in arrears in
the payment of maintenance money
adjudged to his former wife by local
court for support of his 11-year-old
child, he refused to use his bonus
money for the purpose. Justice Oscar

him to serve two months in Jail for
