SPONSORS OF CONTEST LAUDED BY PRESIDENT “John Marshall and Federal Su- premacy” Brought Second Vic- tory for Star’s Entry. Edmund A. Gullion, 17-year-old Western High School graduate, brought the speech-making championship of the world back to the United States last night when he won decisively the Fifth International Oratorical Contest finals in_Constitution Hall. Paul Leduc, spokesman for Canada, ‘won second place in the final meet, and Clemente Perez-Zanartu, Chillian repre- ::‘nuvn for South America, took third ors. Young Gullion's sweeping victory, eomposed of four first-place ratings and & sixth-place, was obtained in one of the most brilllant contests of the series. Headed by President Hoover, the meet- ing was attended by a notable gather- ing, including the ranking officials of the competing nations, and was marked by an unusually high quality of con- tending oratory. ‘Young Gullion won the championship and the accompanying silver trophy ‘with a prepared oration on “John Mar- shall and Federal Supremacy,” and an extemporaneous s h on “Marshall’s Influence on World Affairs.” The for- mer was the same speech with which he won the United States finals in the same hall in May.

COURT WILL DECIDE CAMPBELL'S PISTOL CLASH TOMORROW Controversy on Ballistics: Test Overshadows Fate of Man on Trial. ‘With the fate of Horbert M. Campbell temporarily overshadowed by the fate of & criminological sclence that has ac- cused the realty man of Mary Baker's murder, the District Supreme Court to- morrow is due to decide whether dra- matic laboratory tests shall be staged to determine the dependability of such ‘The foundation thus has been laid for what may develop into an epochal and far-reaching trial of the modern science of forensic ballistics—a science upheld by the Government as “exact and infallible,” but declared by the de- fense to be wholly “unreliable.” Justice Jesse C. Adkins, presiding in the sensational murder trial now under way in Criminal Division No. 2, will be called upon tomorrow to consider which, it either, of two proposed tests—that of the prosecution er that of the defense— will prevail. ‘Government's Proposal. ‘The Government’s proposal, made in was mfnted by the defense, but later declined in favor of a substitute propo- sition, is that Col. Calvin Goddard, world-famed authority on gun idenifi- cation, be permitted to demonstrate his art to the jury in what would resemble a “blindfold” test. Col. Goddard would not be blind- folded, actually, of course, but would leave the court room while bullets are | fired from half a dozen different pistols chosen by the defense or the court. Then, with the aid of a special com- parison microscope, he would undertake to tell from the tiny scratches on the slugs from which barrel each had emerged. Although Charles Henry Smith, chief of defense counsel, promptly announced to the court Friday his acceptance of the “challenge,” conferences which he had yesterday with associate counsel and with Albert H. Hamilton, defense criminologist, resulted in a “revision” of the acceptance and the offer of a sub- stitute proposal.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Stafl Correspondent of The Btar. BOSTON, Mass, October 25.—With its back to the wall, the Republican or- ganization of Massachusetts is battling to prevent the representation of the Bay State in the Senate by two Demo- cratic Senators. Such a thing has never happened since the Civil War, when the Republican party was organized. David-I. Walsh, the first Democrat to be elected to the Senate in that period, 1s out to elect this year Marcus A. Cool- idge, Democrat, to the seat now occu- pied by Senator Gillett, Republican. If he succeeds the little city of Fitchburg, Mass., will be the proud possessor of two United States Senators, a thing unheard of before in the annals of Mas- sachusetts politics. This is an unusual yepr, however, in politics. Here in husetts as in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois, old line Republicans are kicking over the | 8 traces and threatening to vote .the Democratic ticket on ihe wet issue. If it were not for the wet issue, there seems business depression, Massachusetts would elect a Republican to the Senate on November 4, Thousands of Republicans are off the reservation because of their opposition to the eighteenth amend- ment in this State. Say Butler Has Chance. Even so, the Republican leaders con- tinue to insist that their candidate, William M. Butler, still has a chance, if only an outside chance, for election. They say that in the last week or two his prospects have improved, not be- cause of any strength of his own, but because of the weakness of his oppon- ent, Marcus A. Coolidge. betting odds today are 8 to 10 against Butler, the Republican nomi- nee for the Se: . But the Republi- cans are llldlng eir loins for the final drive. y figure that their organization, which they say is far more perfect than that of the Demo- crats, may in this off-year election turn the trick for Butler. The political observer coming to this State finds a strange situation. The Democrats claim that they will win, not because of the strength of their can- | didate, Coolidge—who, by the way, is| no relation to the former President. but because of the weakness of W liam M. Butler, the Republican nom nee. At the same time, the Republican leaders lay their claim to victory on the ground that Marcus A. Coolidge has proved a_distressingly weak candidate for the Democrats. No Personal Appeal. Neither Butler nor Coolidge has a &:uonll appeal to the voters. Neither able to awaken in the electorate a spark of enthusiasm for themselves personally. With the personalities of the two candidates for the Senate not figuring in the campaign, the issues become paramount. Butler has the dry side of the prohi- bition fight. He has declared for the eighteenth amendment. He is opposed to repeal of the State prohibition en- forcement law, popularly known as the “Baby Volstead act.” Coolidge. on the other hand, although only a shriniing wet, is regarded as the champion of the '“(Caflflri{xef: onzue -Oolfxmn B FIREMEN USE LADDERS TO SAVE HOTEL GUESTS Basement Blast Blamed for Phila- delphia Fire—Smoke Causes Excitement Through Building.

Rebel Leader Backed for Post of Pro- visional President. RIO DE JANEIRO, October 25 (#).— With temporary success established, leaders of the coup which yesterday un- ted President Washington Luis are iting for a conference tomorrow that will decide the future administration of Brazil. From the north and from the south chieftains of the revolutionary move- ment in the field are flying to Rio de Janeiro for a conference with the mili- tary Junta. Getullo Vargas, generalis- simo of the rebel forces which fought the federals for three weeks on the Sao Paulo-Parana front, is on the way by alr, as is Capt. Juarez Tavora from the north. Others expected are Lindolfo Collor, insurgent ~ representative Buenos Alres, and Dr. Osvaldo Aranaha, Acting President of Rio Grande do Sul. Vargas May Head Regime. Reports from Parana state that Var- 8, who was defeated for President in the elections this Spring by Dr. Julio Prestes, will be named Provisional Presi- dent of the new government. Capt. Juarez Tavora, who conquered orthern states after the revolution began, October 3, and thereby accumu- lated a sizable army, is expected to fig- ure strongly in the negotiations. He has a large personal following, and dis- patches from Pernambuco today said that he did not yet recognize the Junta which overthrew Washington Luis. “Military men who adhered to the revolution at the eleventh hour are not worthy to exercise such positions,” was his comment. In the meantime the military govern- ment has chosen enough officials to maintain order pending the outcome of the negotiations for a stable govern- ment. Gabriele Bernardes has been named minister of justice and Adolfo Bergamini, former federal deputy, as prefect of the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Dr. Reichelderfer was unable to say Which appropriations were wrongly deb- | ited, or to explain how the error came to be made. He said that he had been informed that certain items in the “immediately available” list in one of the lpprofirhuon bills, probably the 1929 bill, had been wrongly construed as still to be paid for after they had already been financed and the money paid. That resulted in the erroneous belief that these items would have to be taken care of in the 1931 fiscal y the current year, whereas they had ready been paid. This led to an error in calculating the amount available at the end of the 1931 fiscal year, next July, and the ensuing decision to set the 11932 tax rate at $1.80 to take care OF $1.800,000 LAID TO WRONG DEBITING OF ITEMS But Details of “Mistake™ That Threatened Higher Tax Rate Remain a Dcep Mystery.

On this site will rise the monumental Archives structure, & beautiful feature of the Government's new public building program, located on the axis of the Mall. Surprise to Merchants, News that the Government actually intends to begin razing the old Center Market in the first month of the new year comes as a surprise to the many merchants in the market, who had been hoping . that the time might be ex- tended, despite legislation which pre- vides that the building shall not be used for a market after January 1. Several private projects for a new Cen- ter Market have been proposed, but mo new Center Market has yet been started. Tearing down of this gld landmark Ii’ the outstanding new ture of the Government’s progress in its new public building program. President Hoover under the spur of necessity, to protvide further employment by public works which have already been authorized by Congress, has ordered speed. Not only are plans under way which Jook to & clean sweep of the old struc- tures on the south side of Pemnsylvania avenue from the Treasury to the Capi~ tol, but several projects on Capitol are being pushed.

Building plans are well along for this structure, and as soon 8s title to the land is vested in the Government, the buildings on the site, bounded by Twelfth, Thirteenth, Penn- sylvania avenue and the line of Ohio avenue, will be torn down.

The electric company is completing its new home at the corner of Tenth and E streets, and will move there when it is done. * The substation work, with its numerous underground econ- duits, will be transferred to other sub- stations in downtown Washington, but . it is likely the old conduits will not be torn up. The electric company has & contract with the Government, R which it is to occupy its buildings, al- ready purchased by the Government, until March 1. At the same time the new Depart- ment of Labor is going up, it is likely that the twin building to the Depart- ment of Labor, to be constructed along B street at the corner of Twelfth street for the Interstate Commerce Commission will also be built. In be- tween these two twin buildings will be an_auditorium, facing B street. Two other blocks on the interior of the Federal triangle, known as squares 257 and 258, to the east of the Depart- ment of Commerce Building, bounded by C and D streets, Thirteenth and Thirteen-and-a-half ctrest, are under condemnation.
