United Press Stan COrrespO
 New York, Oct. 27-(UP)-Those pro football critics who've been asking, "Is Ace Parker throughp" had their answer today.
 Picked as the National Leagues mast valuable player last season, Parker has been something less than a ball of fire this season. Hampered by the after effects of another of those broken ankles suf- fered in baseball, Parker couldn't get going and the Brooklyn Dodgers lost three straight after winning their first two games.
 He got started Sunday and in one of the greatest one-mai1 exhibitions ever staged in the National League, the 1eS-pound Dodger halfback led

Student Toasted
As Harvard Cult
'Hexes' Hitler
3y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Feb. 90
When a group of Harvard students
identifying themselves as the
Crimson Cult" burned Adolf Hit
Ter in effgy they gave one of their
fellow students slight taste of
what it was like-in person.
In the midst of a "heX" party
last night near the Charles River
the cult" bound the student and
swung him back and forth over
the embers of the dummy until it
was noticed that rope around
the students feet was starting to
burn.
1t was reported unoficially the
youth was student editor and that
attention was given him because
he disclosed the "cult's" effigy plan
in advance He apparently was un-
harmed by the fire.
Members of the cult" about 20
in number, stuck pins in the eff1gy
before burning it and explained
they we're invoking all the occult
methods of ancient and modern
alchemists" to bring misfortune to
Hitler.

Wiedemann Is Called
Leader of German
Espionage in u. 5.
Woman Sues, Claiming
He Hired Her to Learn
Stotus With Hitler
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 20.-A
divorce, who asserted Capt. Fritz
Wiedemann owed her money for
investigating his status with Adolf
Hitler, described the Nazi consul
general in law suit today as head
of the German espionage system
in America.
The complaint, filed In Superior
Court by Mrs. Alice Crockett, an
attractive brunette, sought $4,000
from Wiedemann, Hitler's former
personal adjutant. in payment for
an alleged visit to Germany.
Mrs Crockett, a Swiss native, who
said she once played in moving pic
lures under the name Of Alice Gull
den, asserted she went to Germany
at the request of Wiedemann, who
wanted her to find out if he still
was a Hitler favorite.
Charges Called Bunk.
"It's all bunk" said Otto A.
Hoecker, the attorney whom Wiede-
mann said would do his talking
for him. Hoecker referred to the
complaint which made the follow
ing charges:
Under a verbal agreement with
Wiedemann, Mrs. Crockett left San
Francisco June g., 1889 She re-
turned the following December after
having spent $4,000 of her own
funds, which she wanted returned
along with payment of an agreed
salary of $500 a month for the six
months she was gone.
There had been a miSunderStand-
ing between Wiedemann and the
ability to fulfill his duties as consul
general and Ito properly fulfill his
duties as head of the propaganda
division of the government of Ger
many in the United States"
Hitler, Propaganda Minister Goeb-
bells and Field Marshal Goering all
assured Mrs. Crockett that Wiede-
mann, consul general here since
March. 1899 was properly doing his
consular work and also his duties as
chief of the espionage service" of
the German government in this
country.
Mrs. Crockett told interviewers
she met first with Goebbels and then
later she met Hitler and Goering
during a private party at a Berlin
hotel. She said she saw Hitler five
or six times in all.
Wiedemann's Version.
Mr.. Hoecker said Wiedemann's
version of his relations with Mrs.
Crockett shaped up in the following
manner:
She came to the consulate in the
spring of 1889 and professed interest
in the Nazi philosophy and wanted
to work for Germany in this country.
But Wiedemann told her he had no
place for her.
That summer she wanted to go to
Germany and asked Wiedemann for
a letter of introduction to German
movie industry leaders. Wiedemann
tried to dissuade her, but reluctantly
gave her a letter to Mr.. Paul, Ger
man film leader.
In the spring of 1910 Mrs. Crockett
wrote from New York that she was
Ill and needed money. Wiedemann
charitably sent her s100. In No
vember she asked for a $500 loan,
which Wiedemann refused
The upshot of it was this suit"
Hoecker said, "and the business
about propaganda and espionage
was obviously inserted to prejudice
the case

from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, last week l was suffer-
ing from one of these "subber" colds
still am. so far as that is concern
ed, but not quite so uncomfortably as
was. Being, then, sort of under the
weather, last week, thought l would
ease up on first page, first column
stuff which appears in the Demo
crat" each week.
I thought, maybe some one might
write in and tell me how much they
missed the usual words of weekly
wisdom; but not until near the close
of the week did 1 have a cheering
word about the whyness of the thus
ness of the non-appearance OF the
iabber which will persist in popping
up it's head in conspicuous places.
Then about the latter part OF the
week a man came into my office and
said:
II notice you didn't have your col
umn of Chirps in last week."
mo-" 1 said, 81 didn't" Then l
went on to tell him how my old think
tank was sort of incapacitated Tor
turning out the usual amount OF lit
erary gems, so I concluded would
rest up my cold-ridden noggin by
emitting my usual blast in the first
column.
"Well, my friend said, II didn't
come in here to listen to any eXplana-
lions or apologies as to the matter
under discussion. / thought l would
drop in and tell you how much better
YOUR first column looked with some
thing in it that made sense instead
of that palaver on things in general
and nothing in particular; that jar
gon that takes a strong mental con-
stitution to digest; that tumble OF
words which fails of its mission; and
that altogether useless encumbrance
on the face of an otherwise respect
able newspaper"
Well, now, what do you think OF
that? That was a poser, wasn't it?
Here was man who had enough in
terest in the paper to- express what
he thought was an improving oppor-
utnity, and, at the. same time, was
knocking. your pet literary production
into smithereens. Well, was knock
ed speechless and didn't recover for
a long time afterwards. came to
the conclusion it would be best not to
cucumber the sheet with any more
CHIPPING but habit is queer animal,
and here I am back on the job, trust
ing my friend will bear with me and
read it all the same.
