Mrs. Gladys Black and Mrs. Pearl P. Parker will appear before the trial board to answer charges of “mal- treatment” preferred by Mrs, Loretta Marx of 1125 Eleventh street, an al- leged victim of mistaken identity. Mrs. Black has figured a number of times in Police Court cases, the ma- | Jority of which she won. The offense complained of occurred July 27 last in front of the home of Mrs. Marx, to whose residence the policewomen had gone in search of an -escaped inmate of the National Training School for Girl The policewomen, it is understogd, do not deny having mistaken Mrs. Marx for the girl for whom they were searching, but will deny the charges that they maltreated or otherwise abused Mrs. Marx. Mrs. Marx is said to have charged that as a result of the treatment she claims to have received from the po- licewomen she was shocked and in- jured, mentally and physically, and had fo be placed under the care of a physician.

We will have lots of witnesses in their favor tomorrow."” There were reliable indications to- day that sensational counter-charges may be forthcoming during the trial, but their nature was not divulged. Mrs. Black and Mrs, Parker are said to have been advised that the girl wanled by the National Training School was stopping at Mrs, Marx's home. They went to the Eleventh street address and as they arrived, it is stated, saw a woman and a man emerging from the premises. One of the policewomen questioned her, and became convinced that she was the person wanted. The woman, however, was Mrs. Marx. The Woman's Bureau representative is said to have clutched Mrs. Marx’ hand during the argument, but de- nial is made that there was any mal- treatment, as alleged. The inmate of the school was ap- prehended several hours later at a different place, and is now confined at the institution. MOTORIST FIGHTS PERMIT REVOCATION ‘Declares Eldridge Exceeded Authority, Inasmuch as No Action Had Been Taken. A brief demanding a review of the ridge in suspending the privilege of William M.

KLAN CANDIDATES WIN IN ALABAMA CONTEST Charlie Bryan Seeks to Come Back in Nebraska's Gubernatorial Race. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Another wet and dry fight of major proportions looms as a result of the senatorial primaries held in Ohio ves- terday. Senator Willis, ardent dry, walked away with the Republican nomination to succeed himself. For- mer Senator Pomerene, reckoned a'wet and opposed in the past by the Anti- saloon League, won the Democratic nomination. First blood in the Ohio fight goes to the wets. Senator Pomerene de- feated Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio Supreme Court in the Demo- cratic primary. Miss Allen had the support of the Anti-Saloon League and is a strong supporter of prohibi- tion. What will happen when Willis and Pomerene fight it out at the polls next November is still another matter. It has been reckoned by careful ob- servers that Ohio, take it by and large, 1 by 100,000 to 120,000 | or Pomerene is highly regarded in the State. He has twice hefore been elected Senator. Senator Fess defeated him in 1922 by some 50,000 votes. Willis Backed by Labor. Senator Willis, with prohibition on his side and the Anti-Saloon League and probably with certain sections of organized labor lined up Pomerene, should be a sure winner. There has been some dissatisfaction | with Willis in the State, however, and the high regard in which Pomerene is ng about a close fight. The Ohio primaries and the forth- coming elections may have a de- termining effect on the Democratic nomination for President in 1928, if Senator Pomerene should win over Senator Willis in Ohio, re- garded as a pivotal State and also | as a mother of Presidents, bis fame He would become, over- andidate for ion with nith of New ibbs McAdoo would sear. night, a_ potential Democratic nomi both Gov.

His chances of success brighter than Pomeren He his friends are said to be ta would ats of Ohio have their bow when as of are nd g with great seriousness the possibil- | ity of a presidential nomination. Gov. Donahey is a dry. He has a record for economy in Ohio. It is becom- ing a matter speculation as to how ! he and his supporters will regard the efforts of Senator Pomerene to be elected this Fall to the Senate. A victory for Pomerene would at least divide the fleld with Donahey when Ohio made her claim for recognition at the Democratic na- tional convention in 1928. McAdoo Backed Judge Allen. 1t may be noted in connection with the presidential nomination gossip that Mr. McAdoo indorsed the candidacy of Judge Allen for the Sen- ate as against Pomerene, and so did former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. Primaries were held yesterday in three States other than Ohio: Nebraska, Alabama and Arkansas. Charles Bryan—Brother Charles—is seeking to make a comeback in Nebraska. He received the Demo- cratic nomination for governor—with- out opposition. He will oppose the present Republican governor, Adam McMullen, who also was nominated vesterday.

PARACHUTE MISHAP KILLS ARMY FLYER Hero of Many Thrills Caught as He Attempts to Leap From Falling Plane. By the Aseociated Press. DAYTON, Ohio, August 11.—Lieut. H. Barksdale, temporarily in charge of the flight test section of McCook Field, was killed shortly be- i fore noon today. His death is said by McCeok Field officials to be one of the most un- fortunate occurances in the history of the post. With F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Secretary of War in charge of aero- nautics, on his first visit.to Dayton, Jooking on, Lieut. Barksdale took a Douglas plane up for a regular test flight. The ship reached an altitude of sev- eral thousand feet and was seen to go into a tail spin. Figured in Three Crashes. Lieut. Barksdale, the hero and sur- vivor of three airplane crashes, two of which were epochs because he saved his life by use of the para chute, left the crippled and uncontrol- lable airplane today. He jumped and those who witnessed the accident said he fell through the wires of the plane. Opening his parachute, it fouled one of the wires and he was trapped. The plane swung around in its| plunge to earth with the aviator hanging on the end of the para- chute. At an altitude of about 500 feet, witnesses said. the shroud lines of the parachute were cut through and freed Lieut. Barksdale from the plane, Barksdale was piloting a plane at the old Wilbur Wright Field several vears ago when the tail surfaces left lie catapulted from the plane and made one of the shortest leaps on record. His observer was killed. Early this year he was piloting a plane made by a Dayton concern and the wings came off. He resorted to the parachute the second time and was rewarded with a soft descent to| ! earth. i Plane Killed Two in Car.

The prosecutor informed Justice Siddons that the police have been unable to pierce Baum's alibi as to his whereabouts on the day of the robbery. Baum's arrest followed an investigation made by police in New York after they were told that those guilty of plotting the Willlams rob- bery had taken refuge in that city.

In telling the assembly that the sinking fund plan should be adopted the premier said that by such ac- tion “our creditors will find proof that we are determined to pay all our debts in the measure of our ca- pacity.” Marcel Cachin, Communist leader, interpellated the government on the subject of the interallied debts.
