WARNS OF USE OF FORCE. Proclamation Says British Troops Will | Maintaln Peace. | JERUSALEM, August 26 Telegraphic Agency).—Acting High Commissioner Harry Charles Luke, chief secretary to the government of Palestine, today issued a proclamation | stating force would be used by British troops to quell all disturbances ih the mandated territory. | Exceptional methods of repression | would be avoided, the proclamation added, saving the British troops vire in Palestine solely for the object of ! quelling the Arab and Jewish disturb- ances. Fresh outbreaks were reported | throughout Palestine today as Moslems continued their attacks against Jews, | which earlier had resulted in the deaths of 12 Americans and the wounding of 15 others. An attack on Telaviv yvesterday marked extension of the fighting over conduct of religious rites at the Wail- ing Wall, The community had hitherto scaped bloodshed. "Fi?:v Jewish colonies ha asked authorities here for help against Arab ttacks. s Tfir 12 Americans were Kkilled by Arabs as they assisted Jews in defense of the Slaboka Rabbinical College at Hebron, 20 miles from here, against a bitter Moslem attack. Fifteen other Americans were wound- ed in the encounter, in which the Jew- ish dead numbered 45 and the Moslem dead was estimated at 40. It ran the total casualties for the three days’ sanguinary battling between the races in Jerusalem and lesser citles of Pales- tine to more than 70 Jews and probably as many Arabs. (Jewisw | The wounded number hundreds, with | a considerable property damage. Forty- geven Jews were seriously wounded at Hebron alone. British Troops Armed. Several contingents of British troops, numbering 650 men, arrived here from Egypt late Sunday and immediately be- gan to patrol the streets, giving rise to hope of improvement the preceding 24 hours. Three British warships arrived from Malta at Jaffa, principal Palestine port, | to meet the emergency, while the British aircraft carrier Eagle and two destroyers have been refueled and provisioned at Veletta, Malta, where it is reported on good authority they will sail for a Pales- tine port tomorrow. Throughout the fighting observers have noted the well armed, well trained condition of the Arabs, and charges have been made their atéacks have had inspiration other than past racial ani- mosities. A meeting of the Zionist Executive, the agency of the world Zionist organi- 7ation for the upbuilding of the Jewish national home in Palestine, was called for today to consider the serious situa- tion which has arisen. The grand mufti, head of the Supreme Council, was warned by the Palestine govern: ment_Saturday he would be held re- | sponsible for any further riots. Fighting Spreads Rapidly. The fighting.spread rapidly. Telaviv | was the center of an organized attack in which many were wounded. The Moslems made an attack on the pioneer colony of Nahalal, in lower Galilee, where there were 80 families | and a girls' agricultural school. Spir- ited fighting ensued, but no estimate was available of casualties. British citizens arriving here by motor | car from Nahalal said Arabs had held them up on the road from that colony and searched their automobiles to be sure that no Jews escaped them. Much damage 'was caused by the Moslem attacks in the suburbs of Jeru- salem. Talploth, evacuated by its in- habitants, was looted. The Georgian Jewish quarter was partly burned. The settlement Gdud Avodah was burned. Attacks were made on the suburb Mekor Chayim, the colony Kelandia, Emek Arazim, near Mozza; Baith V'Gan | and Nachloh, near Halia. Most of th colonies were abandoned by non-com- | batants prior to the fighting. English Officer Killed. Among the dead in Jerusalem was an English officer, E. T. Best, of the Pales- | tine immigration department, who Was | killed in an attack on Gaud Sail, near Jerusalem. He was to have been mar- ried this week. An Oxford University student named Wenny was among those reported wounded. British airplanes bombed the Arab village Lifta, near Jerusalem, said to be the nest of Arabs directing the attack. Planes constantly flew over the city, while armored cars darted about streets. Much of Jerusalem had every appear- ance of an armed camp, bristling with combative and defense arrangements. Most of the Jewish dead at Hebron were students at the college. The stu- dent_body numbered 180, with a fair percentage of Americans. It is one of the most widely known rabbinical col- leges in the world. PROTECTION IS ASKED. 1 ot | Daves to Call on Fngland to Safeguard | Americans. cretary Stimson today Instructed Ambassador Dawes to express to the British foreign office the earnest hope that the British government would take immediate and comprehensive measures to protect American lives and property in Jerusalem. On Saturday, Mr. Stimson said. American Consul Paul Knabenshue at Jerusalem, called upon local authorities there to protect American lives and property. The State Department urged Knabenshue yesterday to emphasize to the local authorities at Jerusalem the necessity for sueh protection. Secretary Stimson described his ac- tion today, however, in calling to the attention of. the British forcign office the necessity of protecting Americgns as the normal and natural course for the Washington Government to take. He added_that his instructions to Am- bassador Dawes were only sent after a considerable number of Americans had been killed. ‘The States Department made public dispatches from the consul giving de- tails of the clashes between the Jews and the Moslems in general confirming those which have already been pub- lished. Consul Knabenshue so far has not transmitted to the department any re- quest from Americans in Jerusalem for the sending of an American naval ves- sel for their protection.

LONDON, August 26—Danger of ilprend of Moslem anti-Christian fervor | to other sections of the empire from clash-torn Judea was accorded full rec- ognition here today, with the govern- i ment promising “necessary measures to restore order and to protect lfe and | property of all inhabitants without dis- | tinetion.” ‘The immediate action of the govern- | ment of Prime Minister Macdonald. | which objected so strenuously two years ago when it comprised the op- position to certain national defense measures in China, in sending warships and troops to Palestine was the subject of nation-wide comment, and apparently received full-hearted support. | The prime minister spent nearly his entire Sunday in conferencg with his ministers, and at one period with Lord tician, principally considering the meas- |ures necessary to cope with the situa | tion in which, reports herc say, as man as 70 _Jews have been killed and many hundreds wounded. Commission Returns Speedily. It was remarked officially that Sir John Chancellor, high commissioner in Palestine, the government of which | Great Britain administers under a post- war League of Nations mandate, was hurrying back to his charge from Eng- land and soon should arrive there. Lieut. Comdr. J. M. Kenworthy, Labor M. P., who two years ago visited Pale: tine, told the Daily Herald: “The riot- ing in Jerusalem is really the outcome of events at the Wailing Wall last year, when on a very solemn day the Jewish church worshipers at the wall were interfered with by Arab police. The Arab police undoubtedly exceeded their duty, but were let off scot free. “In the controversy over religious rites at the Walling Wall our govern- ment did not make it quite clear we intended to preserve Jewish rights there. Our policy in Jerusalem has| been weak and vacillating and we have | given way to agitators and Arabs are taking advantage of that. We have| been far too timid until the present government came into office.” Two or three London papers took the Palestine government to task editorially for not_foreseeing the trouble in Jeru- | salem, but all give their whole-hearted approval to the government for its prompt firm steps. Weakness Is Charged. _The conservative Dally Telegraph re- marked: “It is abundantly clear that the authorities on the spot—High Com- missioner Sir John Chancellor, who is not at present in Palestine—have not fully realized the intense feeling that is immediately aroused over what may| scem the pettiest questions involving religious- rights, to have permitted the Moslems to make a new entry from | their walls into the place of wailing was a plece of culpable weakness.” The Daily News and Westminster | Gazette, Liberal and Progressive, de- clared: “The local authorities do not | appear to have foreseen the present situation or to have dealt very effi- | ciently with incipient signs of disturb- | ance. The Morning Post (Conservative) warned, “putting down the present dis- orders will not be the end of the matter.” The Times explained “the dispatch | of troops and warships to Palestine might seem out of proportion to the occasion if it were only a question of | suppressing disorders in Jerusalem. but it is clearly the purpose of these over- whelming forces to bring home to the | actual potential rioters that overwhelm- ing force can keep the peace.” CITY NEWSV IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY.

The git1, Ethel Smith, of 441 Prath- | jer's court, reported to police shortly | after noon yesterday that she found { Glamnon dead in the grove a short time previously, when she went ther: to meet him. Glamnon, an investiga- tion revealed, was lying beside a gun containing one exploded cartridge. Police, however, were unable to say . iif death had been due to gunshot | wounds, since Glamnon was suffering from a cancer. No marks of a bullet wend cou'd be located on the body. An rutopsy will be held today to determine ihe cause of death and to see if an in- ! quest will be necessary. Body Is Searched. Police are holding the Smith girl for | investigation, and a companion, Bernice | Barwell, 21, also coloreds of 924 Fourth | street, also is being held. Headquarters | detectives were {mformed by the Smith ! girl that the Barwell girl had accom- | panied here to the grove, later search- | |ing Glamnon's pockets when she saw | H i | | 1 | | | that he was dead.

GRAUSTEIN AIE WITHHOLDS DATA Ceclines to Produce Office Memoranda at Request of Lavarre Counsel. By the Associated Press. MACON, Ga, August 26.—Neil C. Head, assistant to President A. R. Graustein of the International Paper Co., today declined to gfl)ducc “inter- office. memoranda” of the company at varre in the Hall-Lavarre suit over con- trol of the four Southeastern news- papers. “Did you deal with these men jointly as partners?” Head was asked, and as he replied affirmatively, the defense ob- Jected. “That is a question for the court to decide,” the defense declared. The court sustained the objection on that ground. A telegram from A. R. Graustin to Lavarre. dated April 27, 1929, was read into the record without complementary evidence. It said: “Doubt that particulars of note will be divulged, but in any event papers as drawn are apparently the only avaiiable legal method. Do not believe form of note is material from public standpoint.” Hall and Lavarre had signed a note i for $850,000 to the paper company, the purchase price of the four pewspapers. Cross-examination of H began at 10:40 am. The issue was submitted to Judge Bascom S. Deaver, presiding, who ruled he would have to see such memoranda in private before passing on its relevancy. Conference Is Delayed. Harold Hall, the plaintiff, in a suit . to gain operating control of the four | paers, the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, the jJournal and the Herald at Spartan- Iburl. 8. C, and the Columbia (8. C.) Record, said he had no objection to such memoranda. The court decided to defér the conference among counsel for Hall, Lavarre and the paper com- pany and the court to such time as “was convenient” and cross-exam- ination of the witness proceeded.

During his career Dr. Richardson had made many contributions to text books on diseases of the ear, nose and throat. Among these were contributions to “Posey & Wright iseases of the | Eye, Ear, Throat and Nose,” 1903; “Referénce Handbook of the Medical Sciences,” 1903, and “Musser & Kelly's Handbook of Practice and Treatment,” in addition to numerous other articles. Among his activities outside of the medical profession and science, Dr. Richardson had long been active with “The Fossils,” an organization of ama- teur journalists, of which he had served as_president.

Although the spectacular phase of the Graf Zeppelin's achievement is upper- most, there is nevertheless a striking contrast noted here between the state of American opinion a decade ago to- vard German exploits in the air and the achievements of today. Naturally military and naval elements look upon the transpacific flight of the Zeppelin as a revival of the discussion of aireraft in national defense. If the Pacific Ocean has been the first line of defense heretofore, making it neces- sary to keep a substantial naval forcc off the West Coz :t, the accomplishment of the Graf Zeppelin has emphasized that a fleet of dirigibles now may be necessary to ward off possible atta from the air. Zeppelins were used during the war to drop bombs on London, and the allied world looked with horror on what | the Germans were doing. Today, as | the Graf Zeppelin reached American shores after a 'round-the-wo:ld flight. it is the passenger and civil aviation opportunities that are primarily re- sponsible for the explojt. The hope of estabyshing air lines by dirigibles does not emanate alone from Germany, but from American capitalists, who, how- ever. have believed that travel by heavier-than-air craft would be re- served for coastwise and interior travel, while the oceans would be spanned by i lighter-than-air ships. U. S. Navy Meets Reverses. | The American Navy has beeg alert to the possibilities of dirigibles, But has met with many reverses. The @isaster to the Shenandoah prevented the de- velopment of the Navy's plans, because public opinion was not ready to san tion large’ expenditures for further ex- periment. In view of the pioneering done by the American Army and Navy with heavier-than-air machines, it is probable that if the Shenandoah acci- dent had not happened the American | Navy long ago would have undertaken a round-the-world flight by dirigible. This | is because maval officials here have | never had any doubt about the value of dirigibles for long distance cruises. Two new dirigibles have been authol 1zed by Congress which will m: even greater speed than the Graf Zeppelin, and contracts already have been awarded. The trip of the Graf Zeppelin will| have a conspicuous effect on the arma- ment_discussions going on between the | principal powers. While it will never be conceded by the Navy that the bat- tleship is entirely useless, nevertheless it is recognized that wi | making & round-the-world trip with trafic department two relative ease the weapons of war now weeks behind schedule in the renewal being used are more or less obsolete or | wiil be in the next decade. | " The possibilities of a dirigible pa: | senger line between California and the | ®ar East are being widely commented upon as likely to alter the entire method of doing business between the United States and the Orient. Quick communication has always stimulated trade and the dispatch of mails has unquestionably _accelerated business transactions in other parts of the world. An air mail line would mean quicker interchange between the United States and the Far East, thus making a solu- I tion of the difficulties in China and | Manchuria even more vital than ever | before. Subject Opens Many Possibilities. Again, it may be said that the whole world will be thipking about the brave adventurers who made the first flight around the world and will applaud to- day the very people who were enemies hardly more than a decade ago. Nev- ertheless, the achievement is here in ‘Washington acquiring already en- tirely different significance, namely what effect will it have on American commerce and trade and what changes will be made in order to make modern the national defense plan of the United States. Experiments which the Navy is conducting may bring about the use of airplanes in short regular flight from a floating dirigible base. Planes now are launched for scout duty from the decks of naval vessels. ‘The whole subject opens up so many possibilities that they run away witia the imagination of the military expert. The biggest single effect of the Graf Zeppelin's trip for the moment, how- ever, is .to stimulate the development of dirigible building in the United States and in this the Navy will play | & central part with requests for more appropriations when Congress takes up the budget in December.

TARFF FBLSTER 1SNOTONPROCRAN ‘Harrison Outlines Stand of Democrats Against Bill. Plan Orderly Debates. By the Associated Press. Democrats of the Senate finance | commitlee were called today to begin | detailed preparation of the organized effort they will undertake in the Senate next week to reduce many of the rates in the pending tariff bill and change | the administrative provisions. Opposition to a large number if not i most of the provisions in the bill as passed by the House and modified by !the finance committee Republicans has been clearly indicated. At the same time, Democratic leaders have been at pains to disavow any intention to conduct a filibuster. Orderly Debate Assured. ‘The latest assuragce to that effect has come fi.m Senator Harrison of Mississippi, who asserted that “orderly, reasonable debate” and a “full and frank discussion of every item in the measure and a record vote on the vari- ous increases of present duties and upon amendments” would de- manded, but that no filibuster would be | attempted. The bill is counted on by Represent- ative Byrns of Tennessee chairman of the Democratic National congression- al committee to help his party in- crease its voting strength in next year's ections. | ““Not only are the farmers generally | disappointed and .vindictive toward the Republican administration” he said, “but they and consumers generally are, 1 believe, more aroused. over the tariff issue than they have been since the revolt of 1910, which resulted in a split in the Republicant party and a National Democratic victory in 1912. The country now knows that the tariff which the present Republican adminis- ! iration is about to fasten on the pen- ple is far more iniquitous than even i Ylgf"s which brought about the revolt in Predicts Control. He predicted that, with “reasonable cfiort,” the Democrats would gain con- trol of the next House. The Senate finance committee Democrats had no part in the draft- | ing of the tariff bill for presentation to the Scnate, but. with the Republican members who exercised that privilege, ihey will be able to command priority under the rules for consideration of amendments which they introduce. They already have decided not to at- tempt to gain their end through the of- fering of a substitute bill and have out- lined a campaign of attack through amendments or substitutes for Repub- lican_committee amendments aimed at the rate increases and other provisions which they onnzze.
