STRAND


 A trial of Q sea captain which electrified the world some ninety years ago IS powerfully and bril- liantly brought back to life in the epic motion picture" Souls At Sea" which is to be enjoyed today and tomorrow at Warmers Strand the ater. With Gary Cooper, George Raft and Frances Dee heading a splendid cast, the story is that of one "Nuggin" Taylor, an ex-slavev trader, played by Cooper, who hap pened to be returning from Eng land to the United States on the brigantine "William Brown" Tn Atlantic, the william Browns" master, played by Harry Carey, was killed and shortly later the vessel caught fire. Because of his rank, Taylor took command of the vessel.
 The outcome of this strange trial is as amazing as is the story itself, true though 1t be. Suffice 1t to say that the whole goes to make up one of the most satisfying motion pie lures this reviewer has ever seen.
 George Raft, as "Powdah," hard boiled pat of Captain Taylor, is little less than superb in his per- formance. So are all the rest of the splendid cast.
 The companion feature is Love Under Fire" with Don Ameche and Loretta Young.

 Brown Is No Kick
 Brown was not concerned over the outcome of the court proceed ings.
 "They think I'm just a nick, one of these know-nothings from the sticks" he said today. But I've been around quite bit and have seen quite few things in my day and they're not kidding me any at all. l made four trips to Hartford to the state board of education and talked with Commissioner Ernest w. Butterfield and asked him for ad- vice. He told me 1t was purely a local affair and that the state board of education was in no position to advise one way or the other.
 T said to the commissioner, said I, Just what do you fellows order me to do?'
 "The commissioner said, Just one thing, to keep that school open the required number of days in the school year.
 50 I said to myself, I guess that settles 1t. I'm sticking here today and smoking my pipe, tedious as 1t is, and as long as folks come here empty-handed telling me what to do I'll do as I please"
 It was not learned what defense Butler and the board of education will make on tomorrow's injunc- tion application.

sition to this bill was furnished by the southern Democrats. IL is not unnatural for the administration to think that the current cotton crisis in the south will provide @ lever with which to soften opposition to the wage-hour bill, affecting south ern workers, by keeping that we'll advanced measure ahead of action affecting southern farmers.
 Finally, it is traditional that a president commands a more nearly united support when he is fighting a business recession or @ threaten Ing international situation. If busi- ness doesn't pick up between now and, Nov. IS, Roosevelt will have both those potential aids.
 Already, in his "iireside chat" he has pictured the wage-hour bill as necessary to keep our factories and farms fully running" through

ings before Judge Dickenson.
 However, Attorney Bronson is of the opinion that the potential sev- eral hearings on motions and re- plies can be settled before the court at the morning session. He hopes to bring the matter to a head during this session and to get action by the court which would mean ordering of execution of the. mandamus, thus, recanvass of the voting na- chimes under supervision of the court.
 Clerk Holds Records
 Meanwhile, all election records, keys to the voting machines and the machines now guarded in the basement of the county courthouse, are in custody of Clerk of the Superior Court George H. Freeman.
 It is understood that these records excepting the voting machines, of course, will be submitted in court as various exhibits" They have been held by order of Judge Dickenson as property of the court and have been unavailable to anyone by terms of his order. The status of 34 certificates which Registrar of Vot. CTS Albert O. Taller, Republican, found in his office Friday, ten days after the election records were im- pounded at the Citizens and Manu- lecturers National Bank by Town Clerk Egan, has not been deter mined. They were delivered, how ever, to Clerk Freeman, on advicc of counsel for the plaintiffs.
 These constitute the only records actually held by the superior court clerk, the others remaining at the bank vault where they were placed by City Clerk Fitzmaurice and the town clerk following the recount.

SENATOR BORAH
 HITS CONVENTION

Boise, Ida, Oct. ls.-(UP).-The proposed off-year republican con vention would be without authority or authenticity, Senator William E. Borah, Republican, Idaho, said to- day, and there would be no better way to stir party discord than by calling such 6 meeting.
 Borah suggested that party lead- CTS wait until the voters can choose their own delegates. Otherwise, he said, the declarations of principles would be entirely personal and the result would be a party-breaking controversy.
 The off-year convention proposal was advanced by Former President Hoover and the idea has been en- dorsed by several other party lead- CTS.

 top. The men of the Chinese regi- ment defending the position center- ing in the village of Kechiapaolou, had taken an oath not to retreat.
 Japanese Go Over
 Wave after wave of Japanese went over, to be thrown back. Each time the number of defenders was less. At 9 e. rn., three hours after the at- tack started, there were l3 men left including the commander, Maj. Chin Ching-Wu, who was wounded. A few minutes later the last wave of Japanese reached the l3 survivors and all died fighting. Chinese spokes- man asserted that the Japanese lost 5000 men in the action.
 Japs Lost Heavily
 Japanese spokeSmen admitted heavy damage from raids last night by Chinese airplanes in the Yang tzepoo area ct the extreme east end of Shanghai. It was the first raid of Chinese planes on the area-but the first on Sunday. Hitherto the Chinese in deference to those of their number who are Christians had foreborne Sunday activities except to defend their positions. Chianu Kai-Shek, commander in chief of al the armies, Is 6 Christian, converted by his Wellesley graduate wife.
 Japanese airplanes bombed busily in the Shanghai area today and caused some casualties among civ. ilians, Chinese authorities said.
 Chinese irlsistently reported today that thousands of Japanese troops had been cut off from their matr, forces in the northwest, in Shansi province, where the Japanese oppose Gen. Gnu Teh, the Red Napoleon, and his 8th route army--fornnerly the Chinese Communist army.

cellati0n of the meet. He merely reiterated that NarTagansett never would reopen so long as OHara remained aS an official.
 At dawn today, stablemen led horses from their stalls 70 the track and exercised them under special dispensation from Adtutant-0en- eral Herbert R. Dean. After 10 Q. m. however, Dean decreed that no one would be permitted on the track.
 All track employees except uShers, ticket sellers and pari-Hnutuel work CTS were permitted to pass through militia lines SO that the track might be kept in shape. Horse vans also were given free passage.
 Nearly 400 National GuardSmcn moved into position about the track early yesterday following Quinn's proclamation Saturday night that the track and area within @ mile radius was "in the state of in- surrection."
 In Full Control
 Only a few hours after the an- r1ouncement, Public Safety Director Henry F. Curvin of Pawtucket where the track is situated, wrote Quinn that "the civil authorities in this city are in full control and able to handle any situation which may arise Monday, October 18th, and protested that the troop or- der was unconstitutional.
 Curvin, who also is democratic floor leader In the House, said he would bring Impeachment proceed ings against Quinn. He mailed copies of his letter to all house members.
 OHarG and Raymond McMahon secretary of the Narragansett Rac- ing association, inspected the track and then visited Colonel Earl O.. Webster, commandner of the troops
 Have you found any evidence oG insurrection?" they asked Webster
 "No," was the reply.
 "O'Hara and McMahon then told Webster the troops were on private property and requested that they be removed. Webster refused.
 Mayor Thomas P. Mccoy of Paw tucket, O'Hara's political champion and leader of the Democratic fac- ton opposing Quinn, also attempt ed to visit the track, but was re- fused admittance though he was a stockholder.
 Quinn's martial law order oSten- sibly was a direct slap at the state supreme courts decision last week quashing the state racing commis- sion's suspension of the tracks H.. cense and removal of O'Hara as an official.
 The governor insisted, however, that the courts decision merely dealt with the eligibility of the rac- ing commission chairman, Francis Kiernan, to sit in judgment and did not touch on charges of misap- propriation of funds, interference with public officials in their duty, libelous remarks upon public of- ficials and creation and maiy1ten- ance of brawls and disturbances against the track.

 In the first place, Roosevelt, is still glowing with the memory of his western trip, on which he was assured by large crowds, politicians, newspaper correspondents and oth- CTS that he had lost none of his hold on the people.
 Large, cheering crowds always pep up a president Roosevelt feels he has put a large dent in the threat of formidable opposition from the west.

 The corporation counsel expects first to enter a dilatory action as reply to the writ of mandamus which will seek to have expunged the aforementioned co-defendants, City Clerk Fitzmaurice and Town Clerk Egan as parties to the com- plaint.
