The slayer is to be turned over to the district court at San Angle, whera the crime was committed, but it was thought possible today that the case might be transferred to a court in Mex- ico_City. Gen. Antonio Rios Zertuche, named chief of police after the crime, said he would make public the results of his investigation when the assassin had Wanted Civil Trial. Gen. Zertuche desired that the slayer be given a civil trial rather than a | military one as had been customary in Although an amparo or writ of habeas corpus had been ted on behalf of Toral, po- lice allowed a week after its expiration to elapse before bringing him before the courts The Confederation of Obregonista | parties forwarded to the police chief @ message signed by Antonio Soto y Gama and Aurelio Manrique, Agrarian leaders, congratulating him on his handling of the investigation.

By the Assoclated Press HAMPTON BAYS, N. Y., July 30— Uncertain when he will find time to squeeze in another short vacation, Gov. Smith intends to put in a day or two more at the seashore before going to New York for a round of political con- ferences and then to Albany to put the finishing touches on his acceptance speech. The Democratic presidential nominee, in coming here for a vacation, returned | to a community where as an incon- | splcuous assemblyman years ago he and | his fam®y spent their Summers in s rented cottage. He is fond of Good Ground, as he still calls the community, | and has shown it during this visit he where swimming and golfing at this season are the favorite sports. Will Meet Advisers. | It is the governor's present intention | to motor back to New York Wednes- day. There he will find a number of his chief political lieutenants whom he did not see during his overnight stay in the city last week. Most of them, | including his friend Raskob, who is dl-! recting his campaign as chairman of the Democratic national committee; | Lehman, the banker, who has charge of “campaign finances, and Senator Gerry of Rhode Isiand, he has not had an opportunity to talk it out face to face with since the reorganization of the Democratic natlonal committee several weeks ago. Before he goes back up the Hudson to put into final form the speech touch- ing campaign issues he will deliver at his notification three weeks from Wed- nesday evening, Smith will have the | opportunity in New York to discuss the | outlook with practically all of his ad- | visers. From them he will be able to et first-hand information as to how the situation looks in the corn belt, | in the South and throughout the | Nation. Except for the case of former Senator | Owen of Oklahoma, who announced that he was bolting the Democratic party because of Gov. Smith's ajliance | with Tammany Hall, the presidential | nominee has declined to comment on | either defections in Democratic ranks | or gains made by his party through the | accession of Republicans. | Several days ago at Albany Smith{ ; { | took a fling at Owen, declaring that he | ing once courted the favor of Tammany as | a presidential aspirant, but while on | vacation here he has refused to be| drawn out by a counter attack from the | former Oklahoma Senator. | Refuses Comment on White. | ‘The New York governor also declined | to comment on a new assault from Wil- liam Allen White, the Kansas editor on his legislative record. “I have nothing to say at this time," he declared emphatically, warding off | inquiries intended to establish whether | something going in White's girection | might be expected soon Although the lid was on here over the | week end on presidential politics, Gov. | Smith took a shot at his Republican | Legislature, and in so doing reopened | the old feud between them on public | parks. In refecting his program for develop- ment of State parks, the governor con- tends his political oppenents adopted a | niggardly policy, contrary to the best | interests of the public. } He took newspaper men who are here with him by motor yesterday to the two undeveloped park areas near Montauk Point, on the eastern extremity of Long Island. As he gazed arownd,’ calling attention to a lack of bathing and recreational facilities, he remarked: “This is cold-blooded, deliberate | neglect; it's ridiculous.” l FUND CAMPAIGN | { Within | PLANNED.

A disagreement de-| veloped over settlement of damages &nd on June 9 the contending parties met in front of the Methodist Church here. The quarrel which ensued was termi- nated when Robinson drew a revolver and shot Johnson and his son to death. Middleton Johnson, who was shot first, died several hours later. The father was killed instantly. Robinson claimed | he shot in self defense. x Hugh Reid, Front Royal millworker, | was the first rebuttal witness on the stand this morning. He testified that he was present at the time of the ac- cident and denied that Johnson threat- ened Robinson with a wrench, as had been claimed by the defense. No Wrench in Car. Deputy Sheriff Collins, was called to the stand and testified that he searched Johnson's car after the collision, and did not find a wrench. There was an empty whisky bottle in the car, he said. Two other witnesses—Frank Me- Interf and John W. Donaldson, friends of the Johnson family—asserted that Johnson had not been drinking and was not disorderly.

Three applications for changes In zoning classification were considered by the Zoning Commission at a special public_hearing today, which was called primarily to discuss a proposed amend- ment to the zoning regulations to per- mit the erection of buildings 130 feet as now required. The commission, how- ever, falled to reach this amendment before lunch, and deferred considera- tion of it until an afternoon session, whi*h began at 1:30 o'clock. The most important of the three ap- plications was one filed by Mrs. Annie Steerman, who has tried vainly for several years to have the commission change the status of her property on the south side of Columbia road be- tween Seventeenth street and Mozart place from residential to commercial. The application, howrvel;. lllln“met op- position from a group of property own- ers on Columbia road. who insisted that additional business establishments are not needed in that section. The other applications involved prop- erty in the square bounded by P. Q streets and South Capitol “and Half streets southwest, where the Warren F. Brenizer Construction Co. plans to locate a new plant, and property on Sixteenth street just north of Oak street. which the owner seeks to have zoned to permit the erection of apartment houses on the rear portion of the lots.

NEW YORK, July 30.—Fifty persons ware injured, three probably fatally, when a heavily loaded seven-car ele- vated train crashed into a stalled train on the Sixth Avenue line at Columbus Avenue and Sixty-ninth street last night. More than 1,000 passengers on the two trains were thrown into a panic. Fire accompanied the collision. Trains carrying home excursionists from seaside resorts were running in close succession shortly before 10 p.m., when a fire started in the wheel box of a car two trains ahead of those that crashed. Line Short Circuited. The passengers of the train in trouble were ordered out. The follow- ing train attempted to push the stalled train into the yards near the Polo Grounds. The heavy burden was too much and a short circuit resulted, throwing out the power on the whole line. A following train also was stalled and then the fourth train traveling under its own momentum after the current went off, crashed into the stalled train just ahead. The rear vestibule of the train and the front vestibule of the other were telescoped. Already excited when the lights went out, the passengers were thrown into a panic. Cries of two men, imprisoned in the wreckage, rose high over thé screams of other passengers, many of whom were women and children. Go Down Ladders. The telescoped cars caught fire, but the flames were extinguished quickly. Then firemen extricated passengers and assisted them down ladders to the street.
