S. Judiciary Washington, Sept. 20.—(7)—Statis- tics compiled by Attorney General Cummings were used as ammunition Wednesday by Chief Justice Hughes in a report generally regarded as an #|attack on President Roosevelt's court reorganization proposal. Cummings in his press conference termed the report a “complete capitu- lation” to the President's program. Hughes disclosed the annual con- ference of senior circuit court judges recommended appointment of four more circuit judges and 12 more district judges to relieve congestion in cer- tain areas. He said, how- ever, that a tabu- lation submitted by the attorney general “indicates important pro- " RMB federal district Hughes courts. “This survey,” he added, “indicates clearly that the question of delays in the trial of cases after joinder of ts- sue is one that should be considered respect to r districts ninds for gen- ticism of thé of the dis- ‘ict courts.” Reports of the circuit judges, Hughes said, “show that in general the circuit courts of appeals are well up with their work.” ABA SETS UP GUARDIAN COMMITTEE Kansas City, Sept. 29.—()—With- out debate, the American Bar associa- tion Wednesday set up a special seven-) man committee to carry on its battle | against any attempt to “remake” the jupreme court. .

Minneapolis, Sept. 29.—(#)—Ruins of Delmar Elevator No. 1 smouldered Wednesday, evidence of this city’s first general alarm fire since 1921. Company officials estimated loss at Letween $250,000 and $300,000. Fire- men said they believed an explosion of dust while grains were being cleaned started the blaze. Leaping high into the night, flames ravaged the building and its contents. The fire was discovered about 9:30 p.m. Every available piece of appara- tus was dispatched to the fire, and equipment and men from 8t. Paul moved into vacant stations to pro- tect residential areas. Shortly after. the first equipment arrived, the roof and the top two stories of the building were blown off, filling the air with flying debris. Big sheets of corrugated metal tumbled down, and numerous small fires were started by flying embers, some as far as three blocks away.

A common affliction—pneumonia— was the immediate cause of death. It developed last Sunday when Miss Maguire was taken to the hospital for the removal of an abdominal tu- mor. Two blood transfusions failed to check the disease or shake her trom the comatose condition which had proved unfathomable to medical science. With her when she died were six members of her family, including her mother, Mrs. Peter Miley, who had cared for her day and night since she was stricken Feb, 15, 1932. Scores of telephone calls, one from a London newspaper during the past two days attested to the interest and curiosity which her five years and seven months sleep excited, Many eminent physicians studied the case but none of their ministra- tions proved successful. In October, 1933, she showed signs of a potential reawakening when she endeavored to smile. She appeared to recognize her mother and at the latter's commands would wink, raise an arm, or wiggle her toes. Despite a liquid diet she continued to gain weight until six weeks ago when an abdomins! tumor was discovered. Miss Maguire's sleep was among the longest recorded in medical an- nals, One case was that of a 10- year-old Russian girl who fell asleep after an attack of typhoid fever and Sept. 29—()}—The enigma | Patricia The Weather Showers probable to- night and Thursday; PRICE FIVE CENTS Death awakened seven years and two months later. She was a typical outdoor girl who excelled in sports and enjoyed a nor- mal life before her strange affliction began to affect her in January, 1932. During that month she complained of periods of drowsiness. On January 19 she fell asieep on the elevated train and rode past her station on the way home from work. She became drowsier each succeeding day. On Feb. 15, 1932, she com- plained of double vision and went to bed. After fitful sleep for nine days she fell into the coma from which she never escaped. 3 Nations BLACK, BACK FROM BUROPE, SILENT ON KLAN ACCUSATIONS Apparently Ready to Take Over Court Post; May Talk on Radio Norfolk, Va., Sept. 29.—()—Hugo L.

The conference has been working since Monday on a plan to grant Italian demands for complete parity with Great Britain and France as “the most Mediterranean of nations.” The patrol scheme gave fletts of the three nations separate zones to protect waters in which they are most interested individually. In the Western Mediterranean Italy was allotted the Tyrrhenian sea around &: as well as her own extensive coastline, and France was given the Marseille-Algiers sea lane that connects France with her North African possessions. In the eastern Mediterranean the Italian zone covered her Libyan col- ony’s coast while Britain was assigned patrol of the Aegean sea and France the coast of Syria.
