ing many members Of Congress and
Chicago police officials, crowded the
Senate caucus room as the picture was
shown twice. once in slow motion.
AS the committee returned to the
taking Of testimony. Rev. Charles B.
Fisk of the South Shore Community
Church, an observer of the riot. came
to the stand.
Claiming he had been arrested after
the riot and held over night before
being released with apologies and with
out any charges, Fisk told OF seeing
men pursued and beaten from the
rear by police and of being loaded into
crowded patrol wagon in which were
at least four desperately wounded"
men.
Brutality Inexcusable."
THE police brutality was absolutely
1nexcusable and unnecessary" Fisk
said
In one case man fully 100 yards
from the police was cut down by
bullet. In another two policemen
pursued youth at least so yards be-
lore catching him and beating him
severely. There was no resistance
possible"
Frank Mccullough, attorney and
industrial relations secretary of the
Council for Social Action of the Con-
gregational Christian Churches, fol-
lowed Fisk to tell of seeing several
policemen standing in an alley and
flrlng directly at the fleeing strikers.
Mccullough, an observer like Fisk, in
sisted the gunflre was not "in the air"
Before the film was shown, the
committee was told by George A.
Patterson of the S. w. o. c. that
police drove people out Of their
Republic Steel plant on the night of
May 26. when the steel strike began.
Patterson, among % arrested that
night, said the police entered sew
eral houses close to the plant gates.
This was done. he said, despite as
surances that picketing would be al
lowed across the railroad tracks from
the plant and the fact the no pick
cts did cross this boundary"
IdIteTSou story was SuDStantlated
by other union witnesses.
As Patterson left the stand Lippert
took the stand to establish the cir
cumstance Of his taking OF strike
pictures, not only on May 80, but on
previous days.
In response to questioning. Lippert
said the film missed no more than
seven seconds Of events at inception
of the actual hostilities. Claims have
been made that the picture missed i'm
portant sequences at the beginning OF
the violence.
Just before the showing. Chairman
La Toilette requested Chicago Police
Commissioner James Altman and
Capts. John c. Prendergast, James
Mooney and Thomas Kilroy to take
seats directly in front OF the screen.
When this mornings hearing began,
John B. Rife, S. w. o. c. district
director, was called to tell Of a con-
ference with Capt. Mooney at the be-
ginning of the Republic strike.
Rife said he pledged orderly con-
duct by the strikers if given fair treat
ment by the police. Mooney told him,
he said, that pickets would not be

The foes expressed confidence the

session.
Administration forces fought this
procedure. The test will come next
week when Senator Robinson moves
that his bill be debated instead Of the
Roosevelt measure.

opponents did not deny it, that there

police officials concerning events lead
ing up to the shootings were fatty
contradicted by a surprise witness
placed on the stand yesterday aft
ernoon in the person of Ralph
Beck, Chicago Daily News reporter,
who had been on strike duty for
nearly week preceding the riot.
Beck began his testimony by say
ing the police detail had been fed in
the steel plant for more than week.
that many Of them were armed with
short ak handles furnished by the
company, and that the company aug
mented its plant guards by arming
nearly 100 workers in the wire de-
partment and massed the entire force
near plant gates on the day of the
riot.
Police testified they ate at the
plant only one day and that they re-
ceived no extra equipment from the
plant.
Beck then said he was in the strike
crowd when it assembled and that no
mention was made of getting into the
plant proper, that they merely decided
to establish mass picketing and that
no more than 35 of their number car
ried clubs or weapons of any kind.

molested il they stayed across the
railroad tracks.
"Ill Have Your Head Busted"

molested If they stayed across the
railroad tracks.
"Tll Have Your Head Busted
On the first day of the strike, how
ever, he charged that police broke the
picket line and that Capt. Mooney
told him:
We're going to run this plant
whether you like it or not And If
you cheep again I'll have your head
busted"
Shortly thereafter, he continued he
was arrested along with the % other
strikers, charged with disorderly con-
duct and illegal assembly and fined ST.
In all my experience in labor mat
ters, the pickets of Republic Steel were
allowed fewer privileges than any I've
ever known" Rife said.
We didn't have any idea of going
through the plant gates" he added
emphatically. If the gates had been
open and unguarded, we wouldn't have
gone in"
Police Contradicted.
In response to questioning by Sena-
tor Thomas, Democrat, of Utah, Rife
declared the marchers numbered
about l,500, of whom about Is to 25
per cent were women. Police claimed
the crowd numbered from $500 to
5000.
Rife claimed just before he left
the stand that the only clubs he saw
in the hands of the Memorial day
marcherS were the sticks on which
banners and placards were attached
Gus Yuratovic, one of the strikers,
followed Rife. He testified that police
had repeatedly broken up picket lines
between the calling Of the strike and
the shooting, May 30 They ignored
published statements by Mayor Edward
Kelly that peaceful picketing should
be permitted, he said.
Yuratovic conceded that 10 or Is
Of the marchers carried clubs, but in
sisted they picked them up on the
field because they feared they would
be attacked by police.
Among those to be called later is
Mrs. Lupe Marshall, smartly- dressed
Mexican-American, who told COM
mittee investigators one of the
wounded strikers bled to death in
her lap in crowded patrol wagon
as police refused to give him emer-
gency aid. Wounded herself, she was
shown in a still picture yesterday
standing in front of heap of fallen
strikers exhorting police while blood
streamed down her face.
Another witness scheduled to appear
was marcher whose eye was shot out
during the melee. With his head
swathed in bandages, he has sat
through the previous two days Of
hearings, guided in and out of the
hearing room by his wife.

Set at S240.
Bv the Associated Press.

BERLIN, July 2.-The Moabit Court
today assessed fines against two Con-
fessional Synod Fundamentally
preachers who oppose domination ol
the Protestant church by the NasiS
Two other defendants were acquitted
The Rev. Won Arnim- -Luetzlow ano
the Rev. Herr Niesel were fined soc
marks each (about S24O) with the al
tentative of 80 days in jail in case of
non-payment. The Rev. Gerhard ia
cobb, pastor of the fashionable Kaiser
Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin
was acquitted with a Confessional at
torney, Herr Ehlers, on the prosecutor
recommendation.
All were accused of violating a de-
cree which forbids the reading from
the pulpit of the names of persons
quitting the church.
The charge was similar to that
which yesterday caused the imprison-
ment OF the Rev. Martin Niemoeller,
most outspoken of the protestant an
tagonists of Nazi church policy.
The prosecutor, however, demanded
acquittal for the Rev Mr.. jacob and
the Rev. Mr. Niesel. He asked i'm
prisonment for one month for the
Rev. Mr.. Won Arnim-Luetzlow and
two months for the church attorney,
at lawyer named Ellers
There were reports that police sus-
pected Niemoeller of arranging a
meeting at which it had been decided
to continue such public readings next
Sunday.
The official German news agency
declared Niemoeller "for long time"
had carried on agitation in church
services and lectures and slandered
leading personalities OF the state and
the (NazD party in order to disquiet
the population. His utterances were
q steady topic in the foreign anti
German Press"
Niemoeller had ridiculed the Nazi
church policy repeatedly from the
pulpit. In recent sermons he derided
attempts to substitute for Christian
repentance heroic" attitude toward
life" as though there were only one
possible attitude for Germany to as
sumo today, namely that of Pro-
metheus or Lucifer-the pose OF de-
fiant Titan"

July 29, 1908, at St Louis (This is the best game pulled out of
 the fire on July 29th).
 The St. Louis Browns scored four runs in the last of the 9th to win an extraordinary game from the Athletics, 5 to 1.
 Vickers had been having the best of his argument with Rube Wad- dell, though Rube had been pitch ing a brand of ball the like of which his old cronies had never ex- perienced before.
 Philadelphia was leading { to l when Jimmy McAleer's lads set of their powder keg in the final half: Hartzell singled .. Oldring dropped Williams fly Wallace singled, and the bases were full. Ferris hit to Vickers, who got Hartzell at home .. Criss, batting for Schweit- ger, singled, and two runs counted. 7. Jones singled, the bases again being damned ... Dygert relieved vickers. Spencer spelled "finis" to htis great rally with Texas leaguer, which scored the tying and winning runs and gave George Ed ward (Rube) Waddell sweet re- venge over Connie Mack.
 These Athletics, during the many years that Rube operated on the hill for them, had often witnessed their opponents trying in vain to solve the eccentric ones offerings. but now the situation was reversed, and, to make matters worse, they (his old teanimates) were being used used as the means for Wad- dell to set up e new American league record; sixteen Athletics struck out in this game.

BY GEORGE KIRsKEY

United Press Staff Correspoiident)
 New York, July 29.-(UP).- The champion New York Yankees pre- sented a baffling baseball puzzle to- day. They are in their worst slump of the year but still riding high, scix games head of the field.
 The only reason the situation isn't alarming is because no club can take advantage of golden opportunity. The White Sox, who've been hang ing at the Tanks heels, went into Q nosedive at the crucial moment, dropping two in a row to Washing ton. Detroit is doing the best 1t can with a shaky pitching staff.
 Putrid
 The Tanks have lost out off their last games. Whats worse they looked terrible even when they won. Their pitching has gone sour. with their two aces, Ruffing and Gomez, being belted hard in their last two starts, losing 3 out of 4. Their fielding has been bush-leagu- ish. Only Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Tommy Henrich have been hit- ting, and Henrich is now laid up with water on the knee.
 New York's attack reached its low est level since May 20 yesterday when the Detroit Tigers slammed out an 8-1 victory. Eldon Auker let the Tanks down with two single by Rolfe and DiMaggio. The victory moved Detroit into second place.
 Washington gathered IS hits of Vernon Kennedy and beat the White Sox, 11-8. N
 Just In Time
 Eric McNair's single in the ninth drove in Joe Cronin with the win ming run as the Boston Red Sox won from the St. Louis Brown. 5-4. Jim- my Foxx hit home No. 25. Collect ing IT hits, including homers by Moses and Parker, the Athletics won their second straight from Cleve- land, 1l-7. Bob Teller, pitching 1-3 inning in a relief role, allowed two singles, a walk and a run.
 Frank Denaree starred as the Chicago Cubs beat Brooklyn, 7-5, and held their 3-game lead in the National League race. Denlaree hit a home and two singles for per- feet day. 8 for B." and drove in three runs.
 Staging a 5-run rally in the eighth the Giants pounded Lon Warneke to cover and beat the Cardinals, 6-4. Dit (No. POD and Berger hit homers for the Giants.
 Cincinnati moved into sixth place ahead of Brooklyn by defeating the Boston Bees, 6-l. Peaches Davis held the Bees to g hits, with Gene Moore getting { of them for a perfect day at bat. Alex Kampouris hit homer for the Reds. Pittsburgh beat out the Phillies, 6-4. Pep Young hit a homer and drove in three runs.

MANY WILD SHOTS ARE RESULT OF STANDING TOO
 CLOSE TO THE BALL
By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

Driving oil the ninth tee in this years Inverness match play event in Toledo, Sam Snead hit a 230- yard shot quail high. The ball land ed in the trouser pocket of Dr. O. s. White, veteran tournament chair man and one of the founders of the famous Inverness Club.
 It is important that the player stand the correct distance from the ball at address.
 Standing too far away, which causes reaching for the ball, will result in the clubhead being soled with the heel resting on the ground. This prevents the ball from being hit with the center of the clubface. Topping is the result.
 On the other hand, many wild shots are the result of standing too close to the ball so that the club head rests on its toe. AS the play CT swings through the toe hits the ground, turning the club in the
