'REVOLT IS REPORTED | PENDING IN RUSSIA, | | Editor Caught in Act of Preparin‘g Coup, Berlin Is Informed. | By the Associated Press. | BERLIN, March 8-—Advices received by the Soclalist newspaper Vorwaerts from Moscow Socialists state that there are increasing rumors of a pending revo- lution in Soviet Russia. These advices stated that the recent | resignation of M. Bucharin from his | editorship of the Communist newpaper | Pravda and from the presidency of the | Communist International was because he had been caught in the act of pre- paring a coup d'etat against the Stalin | | group. He was stated to have written |a letter to Les Kamaneff in which he | tried to draw the latter into the anti- [ Stalin camp. | | “Staples came to me while I was in| | the lunchroom,” Rosenberg said, “and | | stated that he was glad that Schenk had been dismissed from the police | force, and that he had a couple of mem- | | bers of Congress and others at work to | | get Capt. Burlingame.” | Testified Against Staples. | | Schenck also was a former member | | of the police force and was the princi- | pal witness against Staples during his trial. He was removed from the force several months ago. Maj. Donald A. Davison, chairman of the extraordinary trial board which is hearing the charges {against Capt. Burlingame, asked Rosen- | berg, as soon as he had completed his | brief testimony, the names of the mem- bers of Congress Staples had mentioned | in his conversation. - The witness re-| plied that Staples did not disclose their | names. | The defense will use Rosenberg’s tes- | timony to support its contention that | the charges of Mrs. Helen F.

Policeman Claud Evans of the second precinct, who arrested the youth, said he attempted to destroy the cargo by overturning the cart. Smallwood's story that he was employed to make deliveries was responsible for the charges. The boy was not charged. 42 Gallons Seized. While cruising on New Jersey avenue yesterday, Sergt. George Little and the liquor squad had their attention di- rected from a large touring car which they suspected contained contraband to a small sedan, heavily loaded. When pursued the driver abandoned his ma- chine and fled. Detective G. C. Deyoe chaser the driver into a coal yard. There the quarry, it was reported, w: discovered crouching under a wagon by Detective Leo Murray. When taken into custody the man gave his name as Spencer Sylvester Jones, 20 years old, of the 800 block Massachusetts avenue. Finding 84 half-gallon jars of alleged liquor in the abandoned machine police charged him with transporation, pos- session and driving on dead tags. James C. McElheny of Oakland, Md.. arrested by Detectives John R. Le Foe and George R. Wallrodt of the first pre- cinct was charged with reckless driving, transportation and possession. Accord- ing to police, they observed the man in a machine on Massachusetts avenue. ‘When pursued, McElheny fled, but was captured after his abandoned machine collided with a car parked at the curb Twelve gallons of alleged corn whisky were discovered in his machine. Executing an arrest warrant, police entered premises in the 900 block of Fourteenth street yesterday and re- ported discovering seven 5-gallon cans of alcohol, 1 quart of champagne, 13 quarts of red whisky and 28 pints of gin.
