HARRISON DEFENDS PILSUDSKI HALTS DIET WITH TROOPS | Polish Observers Attempt to Find Purpose of Ex-Pre- mier’s Act. | By the Associated Press. WARSAW, November 1.—-The per- sonality of Marshal Joseph Pllsudski, minister of war and former dictator, dominated the Polish political horizon today while observers tried to decipher the strange happenings of yesterday in the Sejm, as the Polish Diet is called. In some quarters the marshal's dis- play of military strength at the open- ing of the 8ejm for its ordinary budget session was taken as the manifestation of a new dictatorship; others regarded it as a token for the former dictator's safety; still others held the crisis has yet to come. d Meanwhile, whatever was happening behind the scenes, there was public announcement the Sejm had adjourned subject to call. The marshal, and his parliamentary rival, Ignace Daszinski, speaker of the Sejm, were known to have conferred with the President, M. Moscicki, a friend of Pils 'ski's, with reference to the situation. “Adjourns Under Pressure.” The speaker's announcement of the Diet's adjournment said: “As more than 100 armed officers of the Polish army are hoiding the lobbies and. despite twice repeated summons by parliamentary authorities, they have re- icial residence, No. 10 Dow: [ ! committee and Answering the ques- “Hullo, Arthur, how are you? tions truthfully. | the prime minister's greeting o $ec-' "The purpose of the Southern Tariff ! retary Henderson Arnold explained, | ported Smith last year and is creditea this unfortunate | ®ith having coined the name “hypei- Ats” and applying it to the Demo- Mott said: “We deeply regret is | incident. more for the employes con- { fused to evacuate, I herewith announce that under the armed pressure of these Mr., | dfficers the Diet session is adjourned “Hullo, Tom, smiling &s ever” was his remark to his conferee, Tom Shaw war_secretary. ‘Then there was a rush of other friends to shake hands before the prime minister could make his way to his motor car. A big luncheon hour crowd in the neighborhood of Downing street cheered the returning premier when he arrived there, where he was welcomed by Philip 8nowden. chancellor of the exchequer, | and other members cf the cabinet.

Crowds of workmen shouted. “Good Old Mac.” and “glad to see you again, Mac.” as his party debarked and made for the train shed where a spe- | cial car was attached to the regular boat train to London.

In most instances the | witness replied that the lett: were such as “anybody might write.” He sald that his impressions of the kind of an fnvestigation ‘the committee was | conducting were gained from reading | | the newspapers and personal observa- | | tion as one of the spectators in the committee room.

Fowler explaine a special trial board was sent c1igina to the police supevintenden: througi an_error. Fowler also explained that his reason for sending to Maj. Pratt his challenge of the police trial board, at now con- stituted, as well as the alternales. was due to the fact that Inspector Louis J. Stoll he chairman of the 3 mong_those llenged. Pratt previously called Fowler's atten- tion to a provision in the police manual that challenges should be directed to the chairman of the trial board. ‘In view of the fact that I challenged the chairman of the trial board him- self,” Fowler declared. “it was neces- sary to djrect the challenge to a su- perior office, and he happened 1o be Maj, Pratt. That is why the challenge was sent to him. Bride’s Explanation. Bride's explanation of the letter drawn up for Capt. Doyle to sign if the two objectionable paragraphs had been omitted would have been neither a retraction nor an apology in the broad sense of the word, but would have been a “letter of clarification.” “One of the attorneys for Capt.

Arnold ssid in response to question sked by Caraway that his impressicn of the committee was gained .by ob- servations in the room before he was called. His activities in behalf of various tariff schedules were inquired into at length, and the name of Representative John Garner of Texas was frequentiy mentioned in letters Arnold wrote to various members of the association.

Before the lobby committee organized, Arnold was sure the Southern Tariff Association would be called. He identi- fied at Senator Walsh's request a letter he wrote to Kirby several calling his attention to the resolution investigate all lobbyis and wrote “you can depend on Southern Tariff Association being first on the list.” He wrote Mr. Kirby. how- ever, “there was nothing about our expenditures that would not bear publicity, except the payment of ex- ipenses to certain commissioners of agriculture” to attend our meetings. Arnold told the committee that the only objection he could see to such pay- ments was that some Senat would want to attack the commissionel charges of being influenced by association. He wrcte (o Kirby at the time that he thought “we zhould hold a meeting in Washington of the Southern Tariff As- sociation before the lobby ecommittee meets, as it might have some influence on the committee.” Arnold told Chairman Caraway that what he meant was that prominent men whom “ncbody could be ashamed of” would attend the meeting and that the committee shonld be impressed by the respectability of the gathering. Paid Expenses. It was brought out that the associa- ton had paid the expenses of commis- sioners cf agriculturs in various States to attend meetings from time to tim: the latest having been held in Wasi ington last June in the interests of cer- tain general phases of tariff legislation Arnold testified that he had no knowl- sdge of rates adopted by the Senate finance committes at ita secret session except as carried by the newspapers and gathered from conversations with repre- | the who had appeared before the committee. | At { woman voters, Here | 8, | their candidate for governor a Demo- ats who deserted the rational ticket nd voted for Hoover last year. Many of those who were so eriticized by Pollard and the other regulars still are bitter and unforgiving. It may be pointed out that the Dem- ocrats last year had the organization with them and all the election mu- chinery i:: their hands, and that thes had at that time the support of the daily press of the State, with the one exception in_Bristol, just as they have this year. Yet. in spite of these aa- vantages. Hoover carried the State and the regulars were defeated. ‘Women Then Played Part. Last year the women played an im- portant part iz the Virginia election. Many thousands of them supported President Hoover against Gov, Smitn, though Smith had his quota of woma votes in the State, too. The women this year do not appear to be as greai- 1y interested in the race for governor. political meetizgs in many pars of the State they have not been founa in large numbers as they were a vear ago. However, both sides in the pres- ent campaign have not neglected tne i coalition ticket has the support of the “Hoover Woman's Club.” made up very largely of anti-Smith Democrats. Mr. Hoover, it seems quite clear. can scarcely be the issue in the campaign for governor in Virginia this year, buc the women have cluzg to the name of their organimation. with which they were markedly successful & year ago. One woman, Mary Emma De Witt, 1s & candidate for the House of Delegates on the coalition ticket, the only woman runnizg for the Legislature in Rich- mond on that ticket, The coalition has put 78 candidates in the field for the House of Delegates, which has a hundred members, and there are three or four women among the candidates, i addition to Mrs. De Witt. How many o. the Democratic women who voted for President Hoover and sgainst Gov. Smith have returned. to the Democratic fold this year can only be & matter of conjecture. If they have returned to their old party allegiance in large numbers, as is claimed by the regular organization, the jig is up for Dr. Brown, in all probability. Coalition Backs a “Democrat.” ‘The coalition, so far as the anti- ith Democt are concerned, this year the advantage of a candidate | who has always been & Democrat and | who claims still to be a Democrat.

If this be true, it would appear that the Republi- can party is to have no little increase in strength in the days that.are to come in_Virginia and real two party politics will be in order in Virginia from now on, It is certainly true that the Re- publican leaders, like Henry W.

Officials in Cardashian’s Mandamus Case. __ Foreign governments may not be sued in the United States courts without their consent according to a decision ren- dered today by Justice Frederick L. Siddons of the District of Columbia Supreme Court in which he refused to issue a rule to show cause against At- torney General Mitchell, United States Attorney Leo A. Rover and United States Marshal Edgar C. Snyder, to compel service of process in = suit brought against the Republic of Turkey by Vahan Cardashian, an attorney of New York City. Cardashian claimed ‘Turkish nim $20,000 with interest from 1914 ior legal services in this country. Snyder refused to make service on the Turkish Ambassador and sought the advice of Rover. After consultation with the State Department and the Department of Justice Rover directed the marshal that the Ambassador is immune from service. Cardashlan then inst the three officials, and it is in the latter proceeding that the opinion is filed. In the course of his opinion Justice Siddons points out “that a sovereignty may not be sued without its consent is settled law in the United States and the principle has been applied in at- tempted suits against both State and United States governments. And with equal force the same prin- ciple_has been recognized and applied in the field of international law, n cases where attempts have been made to sue foreign governments in courts other than those of their own coun- tries. The court reviews English cases and early decisions of the United Stotes Supreme Court laying down the prin- ciple. The court not only refused the rule. but ordered the petition dismissed. It is expected the New York lawyer will appeal from the decision.

One thing appears certain, at least, in the contused situation, and this is—if the coalition elects Brown governor, and the government of the State under his administration is fair, the old condi- tion of one party government in Vir- ginla, which existed for 45 years is likely to be & thing of the past and Virginia a real political battleground. Should the coalition win in the gubernatorial election, Dr. Brown would | have to face a Legislature controlled by the regular Democrats, it is said. The coalition has put Into the field candi- | dates for 78 seats of the House of Dele- gales to be voted for next Tuesda | The: are a hundred members of H It is estimated that the coali- ' | e. tion cannot elect more than 30 mem- bars, if it elects those. The State Sen- ate will be safely controlled by the reg- ular Democrats. Furthermore, even should Dr, Brown win, he would prob. ably find that he had with him a reg. ular Democrat for lieutenant governor and another for attorney general. Brown is likely to run ahead of his ticket, and Pollard may run behind-his ticket, in the opinion even of reguiar Democrats here. James H. Price, the Democratic nominee for listtenant gov- ernor, and John R. Saupders, the Demo- cratic nominee for attorney general, are both considered strong candidates, and likely to win over Callam B. Jones. Re- publican, who is a coglition candidate for lieutenant governgr, and Charles Berkley of Newport News, an anti- Smith Democrat and coalition candi- date for attorney general, Callom B.
