Mr.. O'Connell asked: Have you
ever been charged with a criminal
offense since the suspension of your
sentence on February 10, 1882"

Pelley.
The Government, represented by
Assistant United States Attorney
John C. Conliff, jr., with Robert
r. Williams, representing North
Carolina, contended the only issue
was whether Pelley was the man
sought, and whether the extradition
papers were in legal order.
Pelley received the suspended SEN
tence of one to two years on the
first count of an indictment, this
count charging him with violating
the State blue-sky law. Judgment
on second count, charging false
representations in the sale of
securities, was suspended for five
years at that time, and Pelleys at
torneys contended that If he is re-
turned the State will also sentence
him on the second count
Williams on Stand.
Calling Mr.. Williams to the stand
as hostile Witness" Mr.. O'Con-
nell sought to show, he said, that
the special prosecutor had received
compensation from private sources
for prosecuting Pelley at his trial
five years ago and in the present
proceeding. But to every question
bearing or this Assistant United
States Attorney Conliff objected and
was sustained. Justice Adkins held
that he could not go into the mo-
tives behind the extradition, since
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat, act
ing as a Governor, had honored the
eXtradition.

William Dudley Pelley, leader Of
the Silver Shirts, seeking In Dis
trict Court writ Of habeas corpus
to prevent his extradition to North
Carolina, where he faces q prison
term for an alleged stock swindle,
charged through Attorney E. Ed
ward O'Connell today that he was
the victim of "frame-up"-a con-
spiracy to send him to jail, in
spired by private interests.
Mr.. OConnell, In urging the
court to throw the case open for
extensive testimony, blamed Chair
man Dies of the House Un-Ameri-
can Committee for Pelley's plight.
The Washington attorney said he
could show that the sheriff of Bun.

There was a flare-up at the out
set of the hearing when Gov. Clyde
R. Hoey of North Carolina failed to
appear in response to a subpoena
served on him recently in this city,
where he happened to be attending
a conference. Albert L. Cox, ap-
pearing for the Governor, announced
that the North Carolina executive
was tied up with official business and
knew nothing of the case beyond
the fact that the request for extract
ton from the Buncombe County au-
thorities was in due form, and he
had signed it.
Pelleys attorney Immediately de-
manded that Gov. Hoey be required
to appear.
II intend to show" said Mr..
O'Connell. that the Governor had
no knowledge of what was in the
papers. but that he does have per-

Justice Jesse G. Adkins held that

DUBROVNIK (Ragusa), Yugo-

freighter Ankara, loaded with 1000
tons of bauxite, today delayed her
scheduled sailing for Trieste be-
cause of the rumored presence Of
British warships in the Adriatic.
The Ankara hoped to stay within
neutral coastal waters and open up
a blockade-proof route to the Ital-
ian port of Trieste, whence sup
plies could be shipped overland to
Germany.
Germans were watching to see
whether such a route were feasible,
since numerous freighters in Adri-

service if the Ankara reaches
Trieste safely.

Difficulties Of Writinq
A Reorganization Bill
Described by Seal
Lions Club Also Hears
Movie Star Edward
Arnold Spenk

The difiiculties Of framing a Dis
trict reorganization bill that will
be acceptable to all parties con-
cerned were described to the Lions
Club yesterday at its meeting in
the Mayflower Hotel by Corporation
Counsel Elwood Seal.
Mr.. Seal said every department
head was glad to see reorganiZa-
ton so long as his own department
was not affected, executives and
employees of every branch Of the
District government seeming con-
vinced their departments should re-
tain their present status.
The reorganization plan, Mr.. Seal
explained, contains no provision for
District suffrage, although most of
the witnesses who have appeared
at congressional hearings have
brought up the question. The cor
poration counsel gave as his opin-
ion that the suffrage and reorgan-
ization questions should be kept
separate. Mr.. Seal outlined the re-
organization proposals.
He added there seemed little pros
pect the bill could be passed at this
session of Congress.
Another speaker was Movie Star
Edward Arnold, former stock player
in Washington, who told the Lions
about an Il Am American" move
ment started in California to train
young people 81 and over in the
traditions, duties, responsibilities
and privileges of being citizens of
the United States.
Mr.. Arnold, who starred in the
picture Diamond Jim Brady
among others, was accompanied by
Benjamin Neal, Hollywood song
writer and founder OF the youth
movement.

of other civic agencies in starting

Do not say "FACE-shus" or "fay-
SEE -Shus."
Question: I have been told that
facetious is the only word in the
English language that contains all
the vowels in the order a-e-i-o-u.
Is this correct? FIG.
Answer: No. AS I know of three
others, abstemious, arterious and
bacterious; there must be several
more. If any reader knows of one
should appreciate hearing from
him.
Facetious is from the Latin face
tus, elegant, fine. 1t is q word of
three syllables. In the first syllable
use the obscure vowel sound "uh, "
as in sofa. The second syllable re-
ceives the accent and rhymes with
see.
How to use the word: "He is gen.
timely witty, but at times his
facetious comments are in poor
taste"
Correct pronunciation: fuh-SEE-
shus. Capitals indicate syllables
to be accented.)
Question: Should one pronounce
the IS" in debris? M, S.
Answer: No. The first choice pro-
nunciation is "deb-REE";; second
choice: "DEB-ree."

Occasionally when Billy was ahead
