Blow at He'll by ChappIe
May Upset Chances of
Republican Victory.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Stan Correspondent.

MADISON Wis, Oct. 1.-THE G.
o. P.'s gift to the La Toilette Progress
sives is John B. Chapple plus the stu
pidity-if nothing worse-of julius p
He'll, the Republican nominee for
Governor.

last half dozen years despite the fact
he is still a young man, Is threaten
ing to prosecute He'll for attempting to
"bribe" him (Chapple) not to run as
An independent, Townsend backed
candidate for United States Senator.
Chapple ran second in the Repub-
lican primary for the senatorial NOM
ination last month.
The blow to Republican hopes In
Wisconsin fell on Tuesday, after Chap
pie in Milwaukee had signed an agree
ment not to run for the Senate as
an independent and had received from
the Heil-for- Governor Club q "requi-
sition" for $4,000. The money was to
be paid ostensibly for 26 speeches" I"
at 500 speech, which Chapple was
to make for Mr. He'll in the present
campaign. Mr.. He'll was present when
the transaction" occurred.
Immediately Makes Charges.
Mr.. Chapple's next move-almost
Immediately after he left the con-
ference with Mr.. He'll and the repre-
sentative of the Heil-for- Governor
Club-was to leap to long-distance
telephone and call for the secretary
of State in Madison. He lodged a
charge that He'll had tried to bribe
him. He was referred to the Office
OF the attorney general.
This afternoon Chapple is to have
q second interview with the assistant
attorney general, Newell Boardman.
His first. on Wednesday, lasted six
hours during which Chapple dictated
his story of the Milwaukee meeting
with Mr.. He'll to a stenographer.
Yesterday. the lengthy statement
was Transcribed and Mr.. Boardman
studied it so as to be able to advise
Chapple whether he has case under
the Corrupt Practices Act. Boardman's
attitude was that if the testimony
were such as to warrant recommended
ton for action Chapple could follow
one of two courses-f1rst, he could file
a complaint with the district attorney
in Milwaukee County, and second, he
could file petition with Gov. La Fol-
lette, the attorney generals Office or
a Milwaukee County judge, charging
He'll and his managers with violation
of the Corrupt Practices Act. Pre-
sumably Boardman will give Chapple
his opinion today and Chapple will
then decide what to do.
Relieves Pressure on Progressives.
All this Is tremendously satisfactory
to the La Toilette Progressives, who
had been hard pressed by the G. o. P.
in this gubernatorial and senatorial
campaign. Indeed, If no further effort
is made by Chapple to, prosecute Mr..
He'll and his managers, the Progressives

NEW YORK Oct. 14.-Guenther
Gustav Rumrich, former United States
Army sergeant, Unexpectedly pleaded
guilty to espionage charges in Federal
Court today as he was about to go on
trial with three other persons, accused
of being spies.
Rumrich, alleged by the Govern
ment to have stolen military avia-
ton code. was a native Of Chicago
and the son of German parents. He
deserted from the Army in 1885.
He entered his plea as Judge John
G. Knox was about to order a jury
empaneled for the first important
espionage trial in the United States
since the World War. Judge Knox
deferred sentence until the end Of
the trial.
A jury of 10 men and women was
chosen in an hour and half.
Judge Knox pleaded, before opening
the questioning of veniremen, for "the
same fair judgment of the defendants
as for any American. Other people
may become excited, but the jurors
must remain detached"
He asked veniremen whether any
member of their families was born in
Germany, Austria or Hungary.
Other questions were:
"Are any of you in sympathy with
the Fascist form Of government"
Did any of you see service in the
American Army in the World War and
would that prejudice you against these
defendants?"
Are any of you employed by the
United States Government"
do you belong to any pro-Nazi or
ganization, such as the German
American Bund?"
The courtroom was filled to ca
pacity long before Judge Knox, who
had been delayed with other legal
matters, mounted the bench. News
paper men and women, including rep
of the more important
journals and a number Of
"unoficial" observers, jammed the
room

TO SEE
START ON AIRPORT
GraveIIy Point Project Is
Ready for Action--May
Take More Than Year.

President Roosevelt will be on hand
personally to see work started In
connection with developing an airport
at Gravelly Point.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who was responsible
for bringing about this project after
becoming weary Of the delay in Con-
gress to provide an airport, said at
his press conference today that he
has been informed by the War De-
partment that they are ready to begin
construction and that he had prom
ised to drive down to the site upon
his return from Hyde Park within
the next fortnight to witness starting
of the project. He made it plain,
however, he will not do any spading
of earth or steamshovel operating, as
has been proposed.
The money for this project is going
to be furnished by the Public Works
Administration and the construction
work will be done by this agency in
connection with the Army engineers
and other agencies of the Government,
under supervision of the Civil Aero
nautic Authority.
The President was originally under
the impression that the project could
be completed within the next IL
months, but subsequent studies by
Army engineers have indicated it will
probably take longer. The aim is to
provide an airport that will not only
be adequate to serve the purposes of
the National Capital, but that will
provide every safeguard and will serve
as model 40 other airports through
out the country.
Spokesman of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority said today everything was
in readiness for the beginning OF
actual construction. The first work
probably will take the form of erect
ing bulkheads or retainer walls, be-
hind which gravel and mud will be
pumped in from the river channel
under supervision of Army engineers.
Soundings also will be made to de-
termine the composition of the under
lying ground and the location and
depth of gravel layers. The p. w. A.
will have charge Of cutting down high
places on the land side of the project,
1t was said.
For years War Department engi-
neers have been making q hydraulic
I'LL in the area by pumping mud and
gravel from the channel bottom.

Shortly after the announcement was
