By The Associated Press NEW YORIK, September 2§.—Five Liberty loan bonds with a value of 000 “‘commission” paid John T. King for rushing a $7,000,000 claim through the alien property custodian's and At- torney General's offices were traced to Jesse W. Smith today in the Daugh erty-Miller conspiracy case. The name of Smith, described as Harry M. Daughert friend, has flitted through the 15 davs of the trial. It first was mentioned when it was testified that Smith helped to acquaint Richard Merton, German metal mag- nate, with Thomas W. Miller and a: sistants to Daugherty. Then it was shown that Smith got half of the $50,000 “retainer”” Merton gave King. Sold Through Hibbs Co. Today Edward N. Toland, an as- sistant in the Attorney General's of- fice, told how he traced to Smith $40, 000 of the bonds Merton gave to King. Smith had the bonds sold in 1922 the Washington brokerage firm of W. B. Hibbs. Merton was recalled by the Govern- ment to give the defense an oppor- before he sails for Germany tomor- row. The eightleth witness identified the 251st Government exhibit. He was Emanuel Harris, New York attorney, who gave testimony about the estate of King. Reiterates Claim Was Just. Thomas W. Miller, as alien property custodian, and Harry M. Daugher as Attorney General, are charged with conspiracy in connection with the payment to Merton of the $7,000,000 shares of the American Metal Co., which the United States had selzed as enemy owned. William S. Rand, counsel for Miller brought from Merton a reiteration of his belief that the claims he presented on behalf of the Societe Suisse Pour Valeurs de Metaux were valid. The Government had adduced tes timony to show that the claims were not valid. United States Attorney Emory R. Buckner has maintained throughout the trial that he does not have to prove the claims were false in order to show the alleged conspir- acy attending their payment. URUGUAY WITHDRAWS FROM ARMS PARLEY Delegate Says Nation, Not Being on League Council Now, Believes Usefulness Ended. By The Assoctated Press. GENEVA September 28 —Uru- guay's withdrawal from the disarma- ment pourparlers was announced last night. The announcement im- mediately caused reports to circulate cure re-election to the League of Na- tions Council and that it would adopt a policy of disinterestedness in the League. The spokesman for the Uruguayan delegation, however, said the reports were without foundation. Uruguay, he declared, had accepted member: ship on the disarmament commission because she was a member of the Council and not because she had any direct interest in the problem of dis- armament.

By The Associated Press. MADRID, September 28. — Gen. Primo de Riveru, the premier-dictator of Spain, announces that he will with- draw from politics and reassume his military career as soon as a govern- ment is established through the Pa- triotic Union. He said that no one could be surprised that after three vears of absence from his home and family that he longed to return to them. This longing, however, would not prevent him from continuing on the paths of duty laid out for himself in 1923, when he took over the reigns of government in Spain. The premier was disoussing the political future of Spain. He said in his opinion this could be outlined as follow: “Once the National Assembly has been formed it would be possible to take up great problems affecting the reconstruction of the country, includ- ing economic rehabilitation. “‘The assembly would study the law sidered extremely important because exerted upon the people of Spain. He said he acknowledged that his achievements in the premiership had been due to the press, which ‘willing- Iy has helped me, more than anything else.” | He expressed the hope that the | National Assembly would allow its {self capable so that the King might {have new men to choose ministers trom. “After three vears,” the premier said, “a government would be estab- |lished over which 1 would not pre; side, as I would withdraw from politics to reassume my military post land not interfere at all in politics.

The Oliver Iron Mining Co., which owns the mine, however, issued a statement through its press bureau declaring that four or five days more may be necessary. Elaborate Preparations. | With the mining colony the rescue is hope against hope, with the first law of confidence rigidly observed. A total of 470 men are engaged in the rescue work. Bodies of three men crushed in the cage were found Saturday at the bot- tom of the shaft. Elaborate preparations have been | made for the care of the miners 'f they are brought out alive. The first to enter the shaft after access is gained to the prisoners will be trained | first-aid men. They will carry blankets to wrap about the miners, light soups and bandages for their eves. Every man who comes up from the long spell in darkness will be blindfolded, regard- Jess of his physical condition, to pre- vent the severe shock of daylight. Signals Go Unanswered. The men brought out will be taken {to the raflway car of the Bureau of Mines, which is on a siding less than 1100 feet from the mine head. The car will be used as a receiving ward. It has six Pullman berths and seven cots will be placed in it. Those requiring further hospital care will be trans.: ported in ambulances to hospitals in the downtown sectlon. Doctors and nurses are held in read- iness at the mine. An attempt to communicate with the entombed men by telegraph code, using an iron pipe as the transmission medium, failed early today. The code for “0.K.” was hammered on the pipe more than a hundred times by a telegrapher. There was no response. One of the entombed miners understands the code, mine of- | ficials said.
