Guy Castle, 22-year- -old son OF q
prominent local family, has been
wounded and is in a military hospital
behind the insurgent lines near the
Saragosa front in Spain, according
to word received by his mother, Mrs.
Harriet Bayne Castle of Oxon Hill,
Md.
Mrs. Castle, well known in Washing
ton society, learned of her sons injury
and. incidentally, OF his enlistment
in the Spanish Foreign Legion
through letter received a few days
ago. The envelope bore the stamp OF
the Military Hospital at Calatayud
Saragosa, and also the censor's
stamp. The date was so smudged as
to be illegible. IN the letter was the
laconic message:
while fighting at the front in the
Legion, was wounded in the leg
but here the doctors are excellent
and receive good care from the
nurses. My stay here is indefinite. +"
I'm Spain, have met no other
Americans" the letter added, land
am the only one now serving In the
Foreign Legion"
Members of his family said they
knew nothing of any intention the
youth may have had of joining the
rebel forces when he sailed for Lon
don late in June.
Mrs. Castle has received two letters
since then. One was from London,
mailed in early July, and the other
came later from Gibraltar. Castle
said he was going over into Spain
for a while"
The letter from the hospital was the
first definite information the family
had that Castle had Joined the Foreign
Legion in Seville on July 8, was I'm
mediately sent to the front" and had
been fighting continually around
Madrid" until his injury.
Well known in Washington, Castle
is a graduate Of st. Adams School
and served for nearly three years in
the United States Marine Corps. He
worked this Spring as reporter on q
Washington newspaper. Members OF
his immediate family include his
mother, widow of Comdr. Guy w. S
Castle, U. S. NJ, and an older brother
Bayne.

LAGUARD|AREG|ME|
Charges " Bankrupt" Gov
ernment Is Driving Busi-
ness Firms From City.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September l4.-The
charge that bankrupt" government
today Is driving business firms from
New York City by excessive taxation,
was voiced by former Gov. Alfread E.
Smith in campaign address for a
Tammany mayoralty nominee.
The Happy Warrior" Of another
political day took the stump last night
in behalf of his personal friend. Sena-
tor Royal S. Copeland, candidate in
both the Democratic and Republican
primaries Thursday.
Carrying the burden of oratory in
the last lap of the three-cornered race,
Smith assailed rising city taxes and
praised Copeland as the only candidate
who could defeat the "Hippodrome
artist in the City Hall" He did not
refer to Mayor Fiorello La Guardia by
name.
Says Government Bankrupt.
"The government is bankrupt and
hasn't got cent" he asserted. 1T
can't meet even the interest unless it
can reach into the pockets of every
body"
Police estimated 1000 persons heard
the speech in the Brooklyn Academy
of Music. The hall has seating
capacity of 1900.
Smith will close the Copeland cam
paign with speech Wednesday night,
in which it was announced he would
discuss the Ku Klux Klan controversy.
The Klan specter was raised by
Copeland, who declared Supreme
Court Justice Hugo Black was a
member Of the Klan. He added that
jeremiah T. Mahoney, his rival for
the Democratic nomination, was also
'tarred with the stick of the Ku
Klux Klan" because of his indorse-
ment Of New Deal men and measures.
Disregards Klan tissue"
Mahoney, disregarding the Klan
ISSUE" promised at political rally
that he would seek reduction in
taxes, allot fair share" of avail
able funds for low-cost housing prof.
ects and renew efforts for amicable
settlement of labor disputes.
Mayor La Guardia in his only pre-
primary campaign address told a
luncheon of Republican women he
was not going down on his knees
to beg for votes" but was willing
to accept the Republican nomination.
He already has been nominated by
the American Labor party and the
city Fusion party.
Party leaders predicted 100000
votes would be cast in the primary
election Thursday.

alted cyclops OF the Montgomery
Klan in 1926, but explained the refer
ence to his election as keeper of the
next imperial klonvokation Of the
Klan" probably referred to election as
delegate to Sta.e convention.
The Governor said he could not re-
member any of the references made
to Judge Black" or Hugo l.. Black"
as represented in the stenographic
transcript and thought they must be
errors. The remark attributed to him
at the meeting. The State and Ma
tion-l00 per cent" he explained, was
simply quotation of the Klan slo-
gan and was not to be construed as a
reference to himself and Mr.. Black
as candidates for national and State
Offices.
Gov. Graves said he distinctly re-
membered that Grand Dragon Esdale
presided at the Birmingham meeting.
He referred to Mr. Esdale as "the big
boss Of the Klan in Alabama at that
time"
But I don't recall any big wizard
or imperial anybody being there" he
added. "Esdale was the head man. 1t
was large meeting, but think 1000
is an exaggeration for the attendance
AS remember, it was more like 200"
The Governor reiterated that he
had mot attended any Klan meetings
or had any contacts whatsoever with
the Klan" since he became Governor
for the first time in 1927.
He ridiculed reports that the Klan
was being revived, with many applica-
tions for membership. especially in
Birmingham.
If anything like that was going on
in Alabama I would know about it,
he added, "and haven't heard word
OF anything OF the sort"
A. B. Hale, official court reporter
for Jefferson County, said he "had
no recollection" Of taking the steno-
graphic report OF the Klan meeting
on September Q, 1926, at which JUS
tice Black received his life member
ship card, according to the Sprigle
articles, which named Mr.. Hale as
having been the official Klan reporter
at that time.

planned to go to Washington tomor-
row, arrange a meeting with Mrs.
Pearson. If possible, and work out an
amicable settlement of the dispute,
which started in Reno, jumped to
Shark Island, off the coast of England,
and was resumed in London.
MY former wife is going to have to
do lot of going to court to get sole

reach settlement, there will be plenty
doing.
Il plan to take every possible legal
action. And will never stop until 1
get legal custody of my child I have
little money, but will spend every
thing have"
Abel was served with an Injunction
in London to restrain him from inter-
fering with his former wife's custody
OF the child. The injunction set forth

scorn from Abel.
Later the Pearsons sailed from Lon
don, and Abel went into court. The
Pearsons did not appear, Abel said,
and the action was dismissed.
Now Abel has returned to the
United States to take up where they
