The jury trying the Rev. Father
James R. Cox and four associates
charged with fraud and lottery in
promoting the Garden Stakes
contest, today reported it had

fifth defendant.
"We, the jury, have reached a

able to arrive at a verdict, but
urged the jurors to exert their ut
most to reach an agreement.

folk last Monday and came di-
rectly to washington on business.
But a check on his movements re-
vealed he had not registered at
the hotel until II o'clock Tuesday
morning.
Police broke in and found the
woman dead In the gas-filled
kitchen, her face and body bear
ing the marks Of a terrific beating.
Lieut.. Leon Nowitzky, chief of
detectives, confronted Abdell with
the "suicide" notes.

police were trying to prove that
Adbell came to Washington as an
alibi. for "the perfect crime; that
he slipped away from here. drove
to Norfolk, killed his wife, then
rushed back to Washington and
was asleep in his hotel room when
Washington police came to tell
him his wife had been murdered.

had been leading a double life.
While he lived with his wife and
two sons, they claim. he also main
tanned another establishment

clared he had evidence that Abden

SLATTERY~ GETS
CHARLES WEST
INTERIOR POST
Move Designed to
Reduce Friction
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

Q.N.S0 In a quick shift of per-
Sonnel, designed to erase friction
within the Administration, Under
secretary of the Interior, Charles
West, resigned his post today, and
President Roosevelt, at the instiga-
ton Of Secretary Ickes, appointed
Harry Slattery in his place.
Slattery has been Ickes' personal
assistant for five years.
EDUCATED HERE
Slattery will be 81 years old
June 13 and received his educa-
ton at Georgetown University
and George Washington Univer-
sity. His background as an expert
in conservation and power matters
attracted him to Secretary Ickes.
Mr.. Slattery was secretary to Gift
ford Pinchot from 1909 to 1912,
when Mr.. Pinchot was chief for
ester in the Taft administration.
Later he was secretary to Frank
lin K. Lane, Secretary of Interior
in the Wilson administration. He
became personal assistant to Mr..
Ickes at the beginning of the
Roosevelt administration.
Appointment of Harry Slattery
puts an end to one of the bitterest
departmental rows in this Admins
tration. Mr.. West was made In
terror UnderSecretary, it is under
stood, as a reward for his unsuc-
cesSful race as a New Deal Sena-
tor in Ohio against "Vic" Donahey.

ton quarrel.

|HULL'S STAND
SHELVES MOVE
TO RAISE BAN
Vote III Against
Nye Resolution

G.N.S.) The Nye resolution
which would lift the existing
American arms embargo on export
of war materials to belligerents
in the Spanish civil war was
shelved today by the Senate For
eign Relations Committee.
Shortly after the committee had
listened to a letter from Secretary
of State Hull, recommending re-
lection of the resolution, the COM
mittee voted II to l to postpone
any action on it for an indefinite
period. This was considered equiva-
lent to killing the resolution for
this session of Congress at least.
POPE AGAINST IT
Senator Pope CD of Idaho cast
the sole dissenting vote.
Hull stated the Administrations
attitude toward the resolution in
communication to the commit
tee, whose chairman, Senator Key
Pittman CD of Nevada, had
asked for an official comment.
From the standpoint of the
best interests Of the United
States in the circumstances
which now prevail" Hull wrote,
Il would not feel justified in
recommending affirmative &C.
tion on the resolution under
consideration"
Passage OF the resolution would
be in conflict with the policy of
the American Government against
interference in the Spanish civil
war, Hull said.
The Foreign Relations Commit
tee heard the document read at a
special session.
TEXT OF LETTER
Secretary Hull's letter to Chair
man Pittman, dated May ~, fol

II have received your letter

Spain, approved January 8,
1887, and conditionally raising
the embargo against the Gov
ernment of Spain,' and request
ing my comment.
"In recent years this Govern

a course calculated to prevent
