Renfrew, Ont, Aug. II -- (U.Po Bill Cowley, Boston Bruins hockey player, was recovering today from painful injuries received in a head on collision on the Kings Highway last night.
 Dr. J. J. McCann said Cowley was suffering from cuts and bruises and possible fractured elbow" x-rays to determine the extent Of the elbow injuries will be made.

Chinese in Riot

Shanghai, Aug. 11.-CUP).-Sev- eral hundred members of Chinese Host battalion" imprisoned in a concentration camp in the Inter- national Settlement, rioted today and authorities feared unprecedent- ed violence on Saturday, the first anniversary of the battle for Shang- hal.
 The riot began when municipal police refused the Chinese troops permission to hoist the Chinese na- tional flag. It was believed the Chi nese was inspired by secret reports that their comrades were waging successful battles against the Jap- anese in the north.
 The prisoners were infuriated and they hoisted the flag. Police tried to pull it down. Fighting broke out and lasted an hour during which the Chinese defended the flag.
 Russian camp guards managed to lower the flag.
 Crude Riot Implements
 The camp was strewn with bricks beer bottles and clubs with which the Russians battled the Chinese un- til endorsements arrived.
 Officials withheld details, but uh- confirmed reports said three Chinese soldiers were killed and more than 20 wounded. The Russians began searching the barracks after the battle for arms.
 The municipal council feared that the Japanese authorities would de- mand that the prisoners be turned over to them, thinking that hte dem- onstration was "anti-Japanesc."

 President Had No Comment
 MT. Roosevelt, on his way back to Washington after almost a months absence, made no comment on the results. But they apparently had no effect upon his determina- tion to urge the nomination of out right new dealers, as against con- didates he has described as "yes but" supporters.
 Entering Georgia yesterday, he de- clared for U. s. District Attorney Lawrence Camp, candidate for sen- ator against Senater Walter F George. It was understood that ir1 one of his two speeches today he would say more about his opposition to George.
 Although MT. Roosevelt had said nothing in behalf of Pope. the new deal was a clear cut issue in the Idaho primary. The National Dem- ocratic Committee Chairman James A. Farley had spoken in his behalf and Secretary of State Cordell Hull had praised his position on the ad- ministration's reciprocal trade treaty program
 How Pope Met Defeat Idaho's unique primary ballot, or which appeared the candidates oi both parties, probably figured ir Pope's defeat, making it less of ar nti-administration victory than ap. peared on the surface. But regard less of the cause political Washing. ton believed that new deal prestige would suffer from the fact that z co-author of the present farm act failed to win renomination in all agricultural state.
 In off year encounters with con servative elements within the Dem- ocratic party, new deal candidates have held their own in many places. but have failed to make ar important gain in congressiona strength and have lost several con | tests.

 He said he was employed by Dwyer's attorney last November to check Francis Carroll's fingerprints to see if he was in the house." Objection Raised
 Special Prosecutor Ralph M. In- gals objected to introduction of tes- timony about the extortion plot as extraneouS to the murder case, but Chapman said it was necessary to show Dwyer's "animus' toward the defendant.
 About the first part of Decem- Der, 1936, while was keeping com- pany with Barbara (Carroll's r year old daughter), I was at her house this night and we were all speaking about the new typewriter which Miss Ruth Charles Ca friendD had received" Dwyer's statement said.
 Later in the evening when I got ready to leave Carroll asked me to type some private letters for him. Hetold me not to mention anything about 1t. He told me to borrow Miss Charles typewriter
 Carroll brought in two letters. They were written in longhand and addressed to MT. George Morton, president of the South Paris Manu- featuring company. Carroll said that MT. Morton owed him some back money. recognized one of the letters as in Carols handwrit- ing. The other was written by some- one else.
 Asked for Big Sum "They seemed to be from some organization asking MT. Morton to pay over large sum of money. The letters said that if the money was not paid, his family would be damaged. said there had been factories in Massachusetts blown up before. If he was going to pay the money, he was to hand signal out of the office window" Later he saw Carroll, Dwyer said, and told him he would not type the letters.
 Carroll said he had been picked "by the organization" to write the letters just ito scare MT. Norton" according to Dwyer.
 Finally he threatened my life if didn't type the letters," the state ment read. T figured that perhaps there was an organization and that If I didn't type the letters, they would kill me. I got scared so l typed them. It took me a long time."
 Gave Letters to Carroll
 He gave the letters to Carroll the next night, Dwyer said, and the former deputy sheriff told him to put them both in a single envelope and address 1t to George R. Mor- ton"
 T got some brown or orange wrapping paper and made an en- velope," Dwyer said. Carroll took the letters, but day or two later said he had not mailed them"
 Burkett testified he took Pelletier to Dwyer's cell when the department of justice agent said he wanted to question the youth about case he had been investigating since 1936."
