Green, Accused of Wild Parties on Seized Liquor, ‘Urges Jury Probe. By the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.—While high prohibition officials in Washing- ton stood behind Col. Ned M. Green, prohibition administrator for northern California and Ne- vada, Government agencies here to- day continued the action started three days ago which will result In several charges of a crimipal na- ture being Brought against Col. Green before the Federal grand jury next week. ‘With. most of the 25 grand jury subpoenas already served, the United States mnrshall's office directed its COL. GREEN. gitention toward locating Mrs. Aybrey (Lady Bob Montgomery), a wealthy widow who lived at the same hotel as Col. Green and who was described as a lavish entertainer. Federal of- ficers said that her testimony relative to parties held at the hotel is wanted. Officers were told that she has gone to Los Angeles. Alf Oftedal, chief of the intelligence unit of the Internal Revenue Depart- ment, whose agents were said to have investigated Col. Green's public and private activities for weeks, spent yes- terday interviewing those who have been subpoenaed, and it was indicated that further interviews would be held today. Hotel Employes Called. The latest to receive the grand jury summons include E. B. Ransthausen of San Mateo, importing broker and cousin of Col. Green; H. S. Parker, Government operative in charge of long wharf, Goat Island, at which is moored the Lady Lou, yacht used by the prohibition department; and sev- eral employes of the hotel where Col. Green stays. United States Attorney George J. Hatfield, who is preparing the in- formation gathered by investigators for presentation to the grand jury. has announced that Col. Green will be_charged as follows: ‘With having protected bootleggers; fitting up official speed boat Lady Lou to entertain his friends on board; diverting seized liquors to a physician friend and receiving prescriptions from him; engaging in _drunken brawls; intoxication in public; stag- ing rlotous parties; making raids to secure liquor for his parties; using official automobile and chauffeur on parties; association with rum runners, and ordering certain search warrants destroyed. Col.” Green himself - brands the charges a frame-up. In a statement issued last night he said: 'As I have not been officially in- formed of any charges preferred against me, I cannot make any offi- cial statement denying them.

The Witness. < I was standing on the parking and I saw the cars collide, and I went my i | > way remarking it was strange that no one died; Johnson’s dray hit Jimp- son’s fitvver, and the two, their nerves a-quiver, turned out language like a river, language far from dignified. Jimpson sued the Johnson party, sued him for two thousand bones, and a badliff, hale and hearty, summoned me, despite my groans; with him to the court I wended, and the trial I at. tended, while the lawyers ripped and rended laws apart in tragic tones. In the witness chair I wondered, as I mildly testified, why the lawyers stormed and thundered, hinting plain- ly that I led; hinting, from across their table, that I never had been able to distinguish truth from fable, that T'd really never tried. They insisted, with much fury, that I had a moron's mind, pointing out to judge and jury 1 was deaf and color blind; and they argued with precision that, since I clouded vision what I said of the col- lision wasn't worth a bacon rind. What T sald could not be trusted, I had served a term in jall, T was always badly busted, spite inspired by scurvy tale; I was guilty of offenses in the past and present tenses which would shock the jury’s senses, if they chose to raise the veil. I was badgered, I was roasted, like a criminal at bay; afterwards the lawyers boasted of the splash they made that day; and I left the courtroom shaking, all my works within me quaking, and my heart dis- tressed and breaking, and my whis- kers turning gray. This we get for just beholding something that ' in- volves the law; we must stand for fishwife scoiding and for slander coarse and raw; and the judge looks on admiring while the lawyer, never tiring, keeps the witnesses he swats them y‘i’m his jaw.

UNHURT BY FAILURE 'TO AMEND BORLAND LAW Even If Proposal Had Been Enacted, Officials Say, Relief From Resurfacing Charges Would Hardly WRACKED EUROPE - NEEDS FASCISM, SAYS MUSSOLINI (Continued from First Page.) and English, all of which he spoke with marked fluency. ‘When he began to speak of the present Furopean situation, however, a transformation came. He strained forward in his high-backed chair be- hind a massive table, his eyes blazing with fervor and his right hand punc- tuating with sharp gestures his short, incisive sentences. Asked whether he considered Fas- clsm a ploneer movement which might be copied by other nations as a solution of their difficulties, he gave an eloquent outline of the philosophy of the movement which he is leading. Italy, he said, iy creating “a new type of state.” Among striking sen- tences in his expasition were the fol- lowing: “Liberty or death was a phrase, but co-operation or poverty is more ac- curate now.” Calls Italy Modern State. “Fascism replaces international soverelgnty by state sovereignty, the nation for the incividual.” “Even the most ardent defenders of the liberal-democmatic movement cannot be 8o blind as not to see its decay.” Pascism, he thinks, has given an example to the world by solving two of the major governmental of the modern world, namely, the res- toration of the authority of the state and the ellmmuilon ho; soclal struggles, notably the class war. “ng,isln!(y because Italy is the last of the great powers to arrive at ma- turity,” he said, “she is the first to build a truly modern state. nation escaped the effects of French revolution, none can fafl to be influenced by our rewaking. “Liberalism as a theory of De- mocracy and as a method of govern- ment, was based upon certain more or less transitory social, psychological and economic conditions which have changed or disappeared, leaving no Jjustification for the 'lmmorn.l prin- ciples of the French revolution. Faces Problems Nbw. “Fascism, on the other hand, is hew- | poq ing close to the line of the inexorable movement of history and is buflding for the future as well as the present. Even the most ardent defenders of the Liberal-Demoeratic movement can- not be so blind as not to see its decay. “Italy, alone amorg the great na- tions of Europe, is not torn by waste- ful and dangerous polftical crises or ruinous strikes and lockouts. While other nations are trying to struggie along with a type of statal organiza- tion obviously unfitted to present conditions—mending and patching as they go—we are marchimg unfalter- ingly toward a glorious future. “The most significant fact is that our success is positive. We are not leaving problems for tomorrow, but are facing and solving themy today. We have learned how to insure the participation of all types and classes of citizens and how to keep thelr con- fidence, respect and obedience, which are the corner stones of a successful state. . State Is Held First. “Our most important innovations\ have been in our conception of the function of the state and of the in- corporation within the state of all forces of production. The doctrine of popular sovereignty, with its corollary of individual superiority over the state, had to be NWH it was false, but, more itly be- cause it was an anachronism in a world like ours of closé social and economic independence, in which the individual virtually is lost outside of the group. Liberty or death was a fine phrase, but co-operation or pover- ty is more accurate now. “Under the old system individuals were able to render the state im- potent by refusal to co-operate. Hav- ing postulated the inherent right to liberty of the individual, the state no longer had the authority neces- sary for control. Facism rejects the idea that the nationgis an accidental and temporary grodping of individ- uals and affirms that it is a living, organic entity, continued from gen- eration to generation with a tangible, physical, moral, spiritual and cultural patrimony. “No single generation, no group of citizens and still less no single citi- zen has the right to militate against the nation. The state is the guardian and controlling agent of the nation. It cannot be at the mercy and whims of politicians, fluctuating from year to year in accordance with the moods of a few men who happen, through the vicissitudes of universal suffrage, to be invested with authority. “Fascism replaces individual sov- erignty by state sovereignty, the na- tion for the individual. By maintain- ing its authority, it protects the na- tion, affording liberty as a concession to individuals so long as they act in harmony with the interest of the state. Even more important is our destruction of class self-defense. Un- til the advent of fascism it was as- sumed that the organization of the economic life of the nation lay out- side the province of the state. It was an erroneous idea arising from the circumstance that the present type of industrial development grew up after the functions of the Liberal- Democratic state, had been defined. “Ours—a new type of state—is the As no t.haol first to repair their blunder. We have solved the problem for ourselves and perhaps for the world by incorporat- ing into the state all forces of pro- duction. The class war is finished. A labor strike {s no more excusable than insurrection. Labor and capital have equal rights and dutles and their offenses are punished. Labor « |organization—in fact, all organiza- tions of public character affecting the interests of the natlon—can exist only in so far as they are inserted di- rectly or indirectly into the tissue of the state.

BUDLON AWARDED DIVORCE Former Packard Company Head Finally Gets Decree on Extreme Cruelty Charges. By the Associdted Press. PROVIDENCE, R. I, July 23— Milton J. Bwdlong, millionaire New York-Newport resident and former head of the Packard Motor Car Com- pany, was grant- ed a divorce today from Jessie Mar- garet Budlong, in a rescript filed in Newport Superior Court by Judge Edward 'W. Blod- t. For nearly three years the Bud- longs and their marital difficulties have been kept before the public through a series of court actions. Under the terms fin of ;;ns rfenu;lm, , custody of three e ‘minor children, {two sons and a daughter, remains in Mr. Budlong. The divorce is granted on the ground of extreme cruelty, extending over a long period of years, consisting “false charges aghinst his charac- ter, humiliating remarks in the pres- ence of other's, refusal to live with him &s his wife and other acts tending to bring him into public ridicule.’ Mr. and Mrs. Budlong were married in 1808, On October 24, 1923, Mrs. Budlong filed a petition for a divorce. Febru- ary 15, 1924, she flled a second petition for a divorce and on April 14, 1924, the first action was discontinued. Mr. Budiong then flled the present pétition in Newport and after the trial progressed several days Mrs. Bud- long surprised every one by summar- ily dismissing her attorney, Corneliu; Moore of Newport, and announcing to the court that she would conduct ber own trial. An incident at the Plaza Hotel in New York in the Summer of 1923 was cited by Budlong as an act of cruelty, where, he charged, his wife made a demand upon him for $100,000 and upon his refusal to purchase her af-- fection she knelt down and prayed God to curse him. In its reseript, the court says: “The testimony shows that the con- duct of Mrs. Budlong has caused so much notoriety that upon Mr. Bud- longs’ appearance in public he has been the subject of much comment and ridicule as to cause him great humiliation and that his health has been so affected that he has been un- able to carry on his business.” SUPREME HONOR PAID DEAD SOVIET LEADER Tribute Paralleled Only by That .Given Lenin Marks Funeral \ of Dzerzhinsky. By the\Associated Press. MOSCOW, July 23.—With honors paralleled only by those Nicoll Lenin, the body of Felix E. Dzerzhinsky, chairman of the Supreme Council of National Economy and once head of Ruassia’s much feared secret police, was purled last night in the revolutionary martyrs’ cemetery, just behind Lenin's wooden mausoleum in Red Square. As dusk fell, and while the entire country paused J0 minutes, the red- stained pine wood coffin inclosing the body was carried by former associates of the dead commiwsar through dense- ly crowded and beflagged streets of the city. In the cortege, which extended for blocks, were thousands of govern- ment officials, workers, peasants, rep- resentatives of the Communist party, the Red Army and the trades unions and Boy Scouts carrying\ crepe-fringed banners. ‘While bands played ‘(M revolu- tionary “dead march” the'coffin, with the 1id removed, was placed on a catafalque draped with red\and black in front of Lenin's tomb. The bier was low enough to enable the: crowds to get a glimpse of the face. All approaches to Red Square for a distance of five blocks were barred by troops, but this measure was scarcely necessary, as the crowd was only one- tenth the size of that at Lenin's' fu- neral. The coffin rested on the cata- falque for half an hour, while several Soviet officials, speaking from the t of Lenin’s tomb, extolled the militant qualities of the dead commissar. The! volces of the orators were carried throughout the country by radio. BATTLES IN BASEMENT. Attacked by an unidentified man when she went to the basement of the apartment house at 66 New York avenue to inquire about the failure of lights in her apartment about 9 o'clock Wednesday night, Mrs. Bes- sie Hilbert, 48 years old, a widow re- siding with her family there, fought off her assailant until her screams frightened him from the building. In reporting the attack to the police last night, Mrs. Hilbert said when she went into the basement to see the janitor the lights were suddenly switched off and she was grabbed by a man who thrust his hand over her mouth, After she had fought and screamed, however, he fled from the building. Examination of the electrical con- nections in the building disclosed that the lights in Mrs. Hilbert's apart- ment had been cut off by removing the fuse in the basement.

Begin to Operate The proposal to umend the Borland law by relieving property owners of assessment for resurfacing streets where they were assessed for the orig- inal pavement would hardly begin to operate to any marked extent for seven or eight years, even if the amendment was enacted at this time, it was estimated today by officials of the District Engineer Department. It is apparent from this estimate that District property owners lost' no immediate advantage through the failure of the Senate to act on the amendment in the closing days of the session after it had been approved by the House. Effect of Law Explained. The language of the amendment would relieve taxpayers from assess- ment for a resurfacing job only where an assessment already has been paid for one pavement. Officlals explained that since the Borland law requiring payment for paving by abutting prop- erty owners did not go into effect until 1914, no street paved under that law is older than 12 years at the pres- ent time. While thera may be occasional cases in which conditions require re- surfacing after a short life, it was explained by officials today that sel- dom are streets resurfaced under 20 years. This would mean that the pending amendment would only be;flln to benefit property owners generally after about 1934. Engineer authorRies could recall only one thoroughfare—Bladensburg Road—where assessments have been levied twice, it having become neces- sary to resurface that highway. The bulk of resurfacing work to be done by the District this year and in the next four or five years is on streets that are well over 20 years of age. If, the proposed amendment to the Borland law were on the statute books now it would not prevent as- sessment for resurfacing these streets. Wording of the Amendment. The pending bill would add the fol- lowing section to the original law: “Third. That no frontage of abut- ting property, on which a legal as- sessment for paving or repaving has been levied hereunder, shall be liable to any further assessment hereunder on account of the replacement of such pavement. This language, in effect, provides for one assessment on a street and eliminates only future assessments Dozen Rare Jewels Are Stolen From National Museum Theft of a dozen rare antique Jjewels from'a case in the Nation- al Mugeum was reported to the police last night. Officials of the museum are un- able to account for their disap- pearance, declaring the case was not broken and there was no out- ward indication that the lock had been /forced. The theft occurred within the past week, or since the last check-up. The articles missing include three silver perfume boxes, a sil- ver and ivory box, an Egyptian amulet, and a scarab. It was em- phasized that the articles were of no great material value, but o cials would not give an estimate of their worth. Part of the miss- ing antiques were loans and the other articles were property of the museum. The owners of the lost valuables have been notified. GOVERNORS EN ROUTE TO CHEYENNE PARLEY Mrs. Ross to Be Hostess to State Heads—Commonwealth Rights to Be Discussed. By the Associated Press. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 23.—Gov- ernors of many American Common- wealths today are en route to Chey- enne, where they will gather as guests of America's first woman governor, Nellle Tayloe Ross of Wwoming, in their annual conference which opens Monday. ‘Viewpoints of executives from three widely separated portions of the United States will be presented on the question of States’ rights. Gov. Ralph . Brewster of Maine will open the dfscussion on the second day of the conference by speaking on ‘“State Rights and State Obligations.” Gov. Walter M. Plerce of Oregon, will present the “Western Reaction,” and Gov. Harry L. Whitefleld of Missis. sippi will speak on “The Proper Dis- tribution of GovernmentalPowers.” Eastern and Southern: executives will be glven a touch of the “Wild ‘West” during their stay when they don cowboy hats and: witness the an- nual frontier day rodeo. R BACEIERET S8 is lovely down in says the Jewell Republi- . “Even the cemetery associa- tien is going to put on a play.” for 7 or 8 Years. when it becomes necessary to resur- face the street. The accumulation of resurfacing work resulting from curtailed activity during and immediately after the war will keep the Engineer Department busy for 5 years at ‘least, repaving streets that are more than 20 years old and in some cases more than 40 years old. On all of these streets an assessment could be levied for the work in prospect, since they were originally paved prior to 1914, A schedule prepared recently shows the accumulation of resurfacing needs: . Streets that are 30 years or more in age—815,615 square yards, and the estimated cost of resurfacing them is $2,446,545. + Streéts between 25 and 2§ years of age 431,116 square yards, the cost of resurfacing being $1,203,348. Streets hetween 21 and 24 years— 477,418 square yards, the cost of re- ;;l;{lclng being estimated at $1,432.- This gives a total of 1,724,049 square yards of paving that is 21 years or more in age, and the total budget that would be needed for resurfacing is $5,172,147. $1,000,000 Sum Provided. At the session. just ended Congress took a big step toward catching up in this arrearage of resurfacing work by giving the Engineer Department a lump sum of $1,000,000 in the item known as “repairs to streets.” Half of this sum will be needed for gen- eral maintenance throughout the city, including patchihg, leaving $500,000 to be applied to resurfacing streets completely. Indieations are that, the District subcommittee of the Senate appro- priations committee, of which Sena- tor Phipps of Colorado is chairman, is disposed to continue granting a liberal allotment for resurfacing for the next four or flve years. It was the Senate subconmnittee which in- creased the lump spm for resurfacing in the current appropriation act and it was agreed to by the House. If Congress at the next session, how- ever, does not modify the Borland law to any greater extent than is pro- vided for in the pending bill practi- cally all of this resurfacing work to be done in the next five years will be subject to assessment, since there are so many streets to be resurfaced that were paved long before the en- actment of the Borjand law in 1914 and therefore still liable to a first as- sessment. JURYMEN DECLARED- HOSTILE TO PASTOR Rev. J. Frank Norris' Friends Broadcast Charges Against Body * Investigating Slaying. By the Associated Press. FORT WORTH, Tex., July 23.— With the county grand jury investi- gating the slaying of D. E. Chipps by Dr. J. Frank Norris recessed until Tuesday, members of the Baptist evangelist's church continue . to broadcast charges that several of the | jJurymen are unfriendly to the pastor. A ‘statement from J. J. Mickle, publicity director of the church, that one of the jurors threatened Dr. Nor- ris 10 years ago brought an answer from the member referred to admit- ting he told Dr. Norris he would “beat him up,” because the pastor had attacked a relative of the jury man on a financial deal. The ju man said, however, that the investi- gating body was of high character, being composed of business men and |’ farmers. Dr. Norris, charged with murder for shooting Chipps to death in his|| study Saturday, has demanded the Jjury indict him to insure trial in the near future. After declaring in a statement to the district attorney that he shot Chipps in self-defense after the lum- berman had threatened his life be- cause of attacks on city officlals, Dr. Norris announced he would preach Sunday on “The Inaliemable Right of Self-Defense.” : > :,"Hrl TA M - 50¢ T0 SWIM EISEMAN’S - _7th & F_Sts.

By the Astociated Press. g 'HICKORY, N. C., July 23.—Na- tional censorship of the press by the Federal Government will be estab- lished within 10 years unless steps are taken to pre- vent it, Thomas Dixon, author and playwright, told the members of the North Caro- lina Press Asso- clation here. “There s a growing demand today for censor- ship of the press and unless the forces now in mo- tion toward the agcomplishment of ' this purpose are met and de- stroyed they will win,” Mr. Dixon a warned. ‘'The movement began 10 years ago by the establishment in three North- ern States of-censorship of the motion picture—the most vivid and effective form for the expression of ideas yet invented by the genius of man. “The sponsors of the movement at that time bitterly denied that they aimed a a censorship of the press, but now they boldly avow it and have introduced their views in a dozen legislatures. ” “Newspapers,” the speaker declared, ‘are the supreme expression of the orderly process of law against voice of riot and personal violence and a cen- sored press is the first step in the establishment of tyranny. “A free press s the supreme ex- pression of a self-governing com- munity. We are attempting today to substitute for intelligent self govern- ment a labyrinth of legal regulations. Every legislature which meets enacts tons of these legal dictums and calls them laws. They can never become laws until there is back of them an 1naned public opinion.” “A free press, not the legislature, is the real law-making bfif} of our democracy. 10,000 MEN CONTROL HUGE FOREST FIRES But s Inside Lines Will Burn for Week More—600,000 Acres Already Lost. THOMAS DIXON. By the Associated Press. MISSOULA, Mont., July 23.—Forest and brush fires in the Northwestern States and Southwestern Canada are generally reported under control, after sweeping approximately 600,000 acres. ‘With more than 10,000 men on the fire lines, trenches have been thrown about the largest blazes in Montana, Washington, Idaho and Calif¢rnia. The fires under control are expected to burn for a week. Although one serious blaze still har- assed 350 fire fighters along a seven- mile front in the Tahoe National Forest in California, the situation was reported as greatly improved in western Washington, Oregon and in the Canadian provinces. The Tahos fire has burned over 12,000 acres, while the one uncontrolled fire in Canada was burning in the timbered areas around Revelstoke, B. C.
