mules, l black and white pony, and
the saddles and brides.
Comes now the defendant, Mr..
Magner, to make the following ac-
counting OF the missing bronchos,
during the selling and trading Of
which one man was kicked and seri-
ously hurt and another lost a finger,
or part of one, when one Of the out
law steeds bit him: Two sold In
Frederick for $4l; one traded for
a mule, which later died, and COW
later sold for $21; one traded for a
black bull, which was sold for $3l i;
one sold for $65; one traded for a
horse which later died and a heifer,
which was sold for $26; one traded
for gray mare sold for $50; one
traded for a crop-eared mare sold
for an unremembered amount; one
sold for $40; six seized by the sheriff !;
two disposed of in double trades
which resulted In a net loss of $40;

In return Mr.. Magner demand
ed an accounting Of trades made
by Mr.. Soldano with the animals
seized by the sheriff. Mr.. Soldano
complied, and horses, mules, pigs,
chickens and other animals and
fowl, shuttled back and forth in
the various transactions, which
soon had not only the principals but
Thomas M. Anderson, attorney for
Mr.. Magner, and Harold c. Smith

maze.
The case was finally settled by an
agreement to divide the surviving
three horses between the two prin-
cipals and call the deal quits
How three horses we're to be di-
vided between two men was some
thing the attorneys still must fig
ure out.

On Killers Speech
Until He Sees Text
Dedicotes Two Buildings
And Goes for Swim
At Warm Springs
py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
WARM SPRINGS, Ga, April L.
President Roosevelt kept a Watchful
eve on fast-moving European devel-
opments today, but withheld COM
ment on Adolf Hitler's Wilhelm
shaven speech because he said he
had not seen the text.
Talking with reporters from his
car after he had dedicated two new
buildings-a school and medical
center-at the Warm Springs Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis, the
Chief Executive said he had been IN
frequent touch with Washington but
had received nothing new except
terse press dispatches.
These carried the news that Hitler
had replied to Prime Minister Cham
berlain's statement pledging British
aid to Poland in event invasion with
a threat to denounce the naval ac-
cord of 1885 which limited the Ger
man navy to IS per cent Of Britain's
total tonnage.
Asked how he regarded this, the
President said he did not know be-
cause he did not have the whole
speech before him.
He took this precaution because
he said the Hitler speech apparently
was disseminated in much the same
manner as that of Premier Mussolini
a week ago when first reports Of the
Fascist dictator's address in Rome
differed from later versions. The
first reports gave only highlights,
he said
Asked whether he thought the
European crisis had "eased,' the
President again declined to give an
opinion.
Late in the day Mr. Roosevelt de-
livered two informal speeches dedi-
eating the two brick structures here
for the benefit of crippled children.
He also accepted on behalf of the
foundation a bronze plaque in men,
ory of the late George Foster Pea
body. co-founder of Warm Springs,
donated by Mr.. Peabody's daughter,
Mrs Marjorie Peabody Waite.
The President took his second
swim in the foundation pool earlier
in the day. He said he had no plans
for the week end.

tween the United States and for eign states, or to protect the com- mercial interests of the United States and it's citizens, or to pro- mote the security of the United States"
 Even if the neutrality act did not exist, however, there would still be authority for the Presi- dent to act; indeed, his authority is considerably more sweeping than the neutrality act suggests, and empowers him to use the ar my and navy to enforce compli- ance with his orders.
 WARTIME ACT
 STRENGTHENS PRESIDENT
 This added authority derives from the espionage act, passed on June 15, 1917. Although that law was passed for the specific purpose of perfecting Americas defenses against German agents during the war then being waged, it contained a good deal of other matter which is perfectly applicable today.
 For instance, one section offers broad authority for the kind of action just taken to keep out submarines.
 This section clothes the Presi- dent, through the secretary of the treasury, with extraordinary powers whenever he proclaims national emergency to exist "by reason ot actual or threatened war, invasion or insurrection, or disturbance or disturbance or threatened disturb ance of the international relations of the United States"
 It goes on to provide that the secretary of the treasury may subject to the presidents ap- proval. make regulations govern ing the anchorage and movement of any vessel. foreign or domestic in the territorial waters of the United States" It adds that pur- suant to those rules and regula- tions, the secretary may:
 Inspect such vessel at any time, place guards thereon, and if necessary in his opinion in order

 UNLIMITED POWER
 TO ENFORC7 ORDERS
 The official arm of the treasury secretary in performing such acts would, of course, be the Coast Guard, which is subject to his orders. But the act goes on to state that the President may use "such part of the land or naval forces oi the United States as he may deem necessary" to do the things. author ized under the act.
 Under these two laws, then, the President can lay down and en- force practically any imaginable regulation governing the use of American ports and waters by the warships or the merchant ships of foreign powers.
