MACDONALD GIVEN REBUFF IN APPEAL 10 CONSTITUENTS Premier’s Address Applaud- ed, but Party Will Back Another Candidate. GENERAL ELECTION PLANS BELIEVED DEADLOCKED Observers See Lack of Formula on Tariff Policy as Stumbling Block. By the Associated Press LONDON, October 3.—Repudiated | again by his constituents, Prime Min- ister MacDonald returned to London today to resume the task of drafting a tariff platform on which he can appeal to the electorate in a general election the latter part of the month. | For an hour last night he talked to delegates of the Seaham Harbor Labor party, at Horden, in an effort to win their approval of his leadership of the national government. He explained the reasons for his economy measures, say- ing they were to save the nation from financial disaster, and told them he was as good a Socialist as ever. When he had finished, Secretary Coxon of the Seaham Harbor Execut.i\'el issued a statement saying “the position ! of the party is that it proceeds with the previous decision to secure another candidate.” This in spite of the fact | that he was often cheered during his address and was given an ovation by the rank and file on his way to the| meeting. Undecided on Plans. 1t was understood he would examine the political situation carefully beforz | he made his decision whether to run again from Seaham Harbor or (rem‘ some other constituency. It was felt that the fight in his present district would be well worth his while and would be the most interesting of the ire election. ‘n"i‘;lee most dependable cbservers were of the opinion that the plans for an election were temporarily deadlocked by the lack of a formula on the tariff policy on which the government can; appeal to the people with the approval | f all its elements. 5 ’;he kernel of the difficulty was said to be the fact that a majority of the, Conservative leaders insist on a full- blooded protectionist program while the Liberals are not prepared to go further than sanctioning the application of tar- iffs where it is deemed necessary to meet emergencies in the empire’s trade.

By the Assoclated Press. HANKOW, China, October 3.—Col. Charles A. Lindbergh regards the duck- ing he and Mrs. Lindbergh received with the capsizing of their monoplane in the flooded Yangtze River yesterday | as a minor matter. Departing today with his wife and the crippled plane aboard th: British ireratt carriér Hermes for Shanghal, Lindbergh laughed off questions about the incident. “The plane was not aged,” he said. “We expect simple matter to repair her at Shang- hai.” Lindbergh made arrangements to have the plane repaired and overhauled at Shanghai preparatory to continu- ation of flights in the Far East and eventually back to America. “Beyond Shanghai,” he said, “our plans remain indefinite, although we hope to visit Peiping when the plane is in good shape again. 2 The Hermes, commanded by Capt. E. J. G. MacKinnon, probably will reach Shanghai tomorrow. The Lindberghs spent the morning ! visiting flood refugee camps at Wu- | chang, across the river from here.

DENVER, Colo.,, October 3.— Speaking of the economic situa- tion, District Judge George Dun- klee is cutting aiimony. Judge Dunklee served notice-on 1929 divorcees yesterday that they may no longer collect at 1929 mony rates. “Wages are going down and so is alimony in this court,” declared his honor in reducing the scale previously paid to Mrs. Norma B. Smith. Smith said he was earning $200 monthly in 1929 when his wife received her divorce, but that since then his salary has been reduced to $112.25. Judge Dun- klee reduced his assessment from $100 to $60. MAY SUGGEST PLAN T0 ENFORCE LAWS Recommendation Seen in\ Declaration by Mitchell Be- | fore Yale Students. An indication that the Department of Justice will make constructive recom- | mendations for improvement of law en- forcement in its forthcoming “third de- gree” report was seen today in a declara- tion by Attorney General Mitchell that hersh treatment of criminals often are due to faulty systems of administer- ing Jjustice. The attorney general, in-an address decried the tendency to criticize law officers without any determined effort to relieve them of handicaps in law enforcement. “Past efforts at law reform have had serious defects,” Mitchell asserted. “There is a disposition to find fault with and tear down existing institu- tions wi ministration of criminal justice is being vigorously assailed. Two Sides to Problem. “There are two sides to this prob- lem. There is the very difficult task of detecting and convicting the modern criminal, equipped as he is with the latest scientific inventions. On the other hand, there is the need that pros- ecuting officials refrain from illegal and harsh methods or the infringement of rights guaranteed even to criminals by our constitutions. “‘What is the impression left in your minds by recent public discussions of these subjects? We have had blasts against unlawful arrest, cricticisms of treatment of arrested persons by the po- lice, voluminous discussion of cases— relatively rare—of conviction of inno- cent persons. and condemnation of harsh treatment of convicts in our prisons. “The emphasis has been. upon more generous and more consi‘erate treat- ment of accused and convicts. I do not contend that these attacks are un- founded, although falss impressions have been spread as to the relative ex- tent of these abuses, because it is the sensational that grips public attention. Fail to Present Other Side. “There has been a failure to present | tne other side. What have been the results of our research and agitation so | far as concerns aiding police, prosecut- | ing officials and courts in bringing crim- | inals to justice and enforcing the law? | Search your own minds for recollec- | tions of definite, concrete, practical pro- posals for legislation affecting our judi clal procedure which have a reasonable chance of being accepted by our legis- lature, measures that will speed up | cases, prevent delays and pettifogging | defense, and make criminal justice quicker and surer. “It is true there have been some, but the emphasis in te public mind has been on nicer treatment of desperadoes by prosecuting officials. Law officers do not prefer harsh or illegal measures. Such lawless methods as are sometimes used are born of difficulty in appre- hending and convicting criminals. Strengthen Arm of Prosecutors. “Instead of pampering the evil doer why not strengthen the arm of the prosecutor, ‘give him simpler, more ef- ficient and speedy judicial machinery, so that the incentive for him to over- step the proper limits will disappear?” gbser\‘ers saw in several of Mitchell's remarks veiled attacks on the Wickes tham reports on lawlessness in law en- forcement and kindred topics, in which no remedial recommendations were made.

FORITS APPROVAL Plea Asks for Acceptance of Four Systems as Best for Public Interest. PROPOSED GROUPINGS VIRTUALLY CARRIED OUT Eastern Railroads Must Show That Terms Set Out Are Just and Reasorfable. The Eastern railroads today laid their | four-system plan before the Interstate | Commerce Commission for approval. The rail petition calls on the com- mission to accept the principle that the public interest will be best served by consolidating the lines into four sys- tems instead of five, as proposed by the commission two years ago, and the commission is asked to amend its own plan in accordance. The groupings follow along the gen- eral line previously announced and al- ready virtually have been effectuated | by the carriers. If the commission, after hearings, ac- cepts the proposed amendment, the next step will be the filing and hearing of separste applications for consolidation or acquisition of the railroads assigned to the four groups, which are Pennsyl- vania, New York Central, Chesapeake & Orjo-Nickel Plate (Van Sweringen) and Baltimore & Ohlo. i Must Show Terms Are Just. In each of these cases it will be necessary for the railroads to make a showing that the acquisition or con- solidation proposed would be in the| public interest, and that the terms set out are just and reasonable. The present petition, consequently, is | not designed in itself to effect the con- | solidation, but only to establish the four-system principle.

This leaves to be acquired: The Ann Arbor, a subsidiary of the Wabash (owned by the Pennsylvania); the Lehigh & Hud- son River, the Atlantic City, the Jersey Central and the Reading. Since the Jersey Central and the Atlantic City are subsidiaries of the Reading, acquisi- tion of the Reading covers the latter three.

Japanese reports asserted the troop movements were protective expeditions, | allegedly necessitated by widespread | lawlessness in Southern Manchuria, but the Chinese countered with the state- ment that the Japacese were responsi- ble for such conditions, because their occupation of the areas in question had | destroyed the machinery for the main- tenance of order. | Al accounts agreed that Southern Manchuria was filied with bandits and groups of marauding former soldiers whose units had been dispersed when | the Japanese had marched in.

GOLD STRIKE DRAWING HUNDREDS OF MINERS Rush Follows Revelation of $5,000 Per Ton Assay of Samples From Nevada Range. By the Associated Press. LAS VEGAS, Nev., October 3.—A gold rush, with all its attendant ex- citement and profiteering, was on to- day as hundreds of prospectors and amateur miners headed for the Hidden Forest Mountain range, 48 miles north- east of Las Vegas. ‘Two prospectors, F. E. Vassar and Le Roy Mason, apparently unable to keep their find a secret after an assay of samples of their ore revealed a re- ported value of $5,000 per ton, caused the rush. With 12 associates, the two have staked out 37 claims. As soon as the word spread around this desert town, gateway to the huge Boulder Dam project, there was a rush for supplies and food. Automobiles took the more fortunate to the mountainous country. Others went on muleback, and some started afoot. A local restaurant man, veteran of five gold rushes, said he planned to go to the scene and profit by the strike. “I'll get $3 for ham and eggs,” was his_boast. ar and Mason declared the lode wugl;el feet wide and had been proved for a distance of 900 feet.

By the Associated Press. GLASGOW, Scotland, October 3.—The | | mcst vindictive rioting and locting in | years, extending intermittently over two | nights and a day, came to a climax early today when police swept the streets clean and restored order. Resuming about 8:30 last night, the battle between jobless men demonstrat- ing against dole reductions and the forces of the law raged for more than | six hours. An undetermined number of the rioters and several police were in- jured and upward of 100 arrests were | made. | The melee began when police charged | & body of about 100 men, who were | holding a manifestation cutside the jail | in which John McGovern, Labor M. P, and his lieutenants were being held for | Thursday night's outbreak. ~ Almost simultaneously trcuble started in the Gallowgate, Glasgow Cross and other sections of the city. Police Attacks Countered. Far outnumbered. the police tried, on | foot and horseback, to disperse the mobs. They charged time and again with loaded batons, and the rioters re- plied with hammers, hatchets and make- shift weapons cf every description. A l\'l.rlfl,y of missiles thrown from neigh- boring houses added to the uproar. | "As fast as the demonstrators were| |driven off the main streets they darted | |into alleys and formed for renewed at- | tacks. Throughout the night and early | hours they broke into countless shops and carried away great stocks of food ! |and other merchandise. The damage |was estimated at thousands of pounds and the loss in foodstuffs was consid- |ered incalculable. | Scores Are Arrested. The police finally got the upperhand and mounted patrol over streeis that were littered with loot and the debris of battle. Scores of marauders were dragged into police stations with blood |streaming from their wounds. A few went to hospitals and hundreds nursed battered heads and broken limbs within the privacy of their homes. The outbreaks appzren were not organized like those of fi night and seemed to lack leadership. They occurred in all paris of the eity, without warning, and were stamped out ionly rise again when the police | relaxi their vigilance. Their object seemingly was the theft and destruc- tion of property as much as a protest against the governments economy | measures. Labor M.

Women in the court room-screamed hysterically as the young woman was led away with the rest of the prisoners and court attendants had some diffi- culty restoring order.

The fliers were in the plane’s cockpit early today. The motor sputtered. They climbed out and worked on it several hours before it was in running order. By that time adverse winds were blow- ing across the mile-long runway, and they decided it would be impossible to lf! the heavily loaded plane into the air.

He whipped over a third, but Jim tipped it for a foul, and Jimmy Wilson, Card catcher, failed to hold it. Then Hallahan fired a curve ball that seemed to break fully a yard.

Moore, realizing the third strike had not been caught, dashed for first base, and, to the amazement of the crowd, Wilson, instead of tossing to first for & simple putout—final out of the game— turned and fired the ball to Jake Flow- ers at third base. Apparently he chose to make a force play on Foxx, who had dashed for the bag with the pitch. As soon as Flowers caught the ball the Cards flocked in from their posi- tions, believing the game over. Halla- han raced for the dugout, and even Moore stopped in his dash to first base. Only Eddie Collins, Athletic coach, visualized the situation immediately. Frantically he shouted to Dykes and Foxx to hold their bases while he chased Moore to first. The dazed Cards wandered around and finally received the umpire's deci- sion that all hands were safe. The game wasn’t over. The bases were filled, and Max Bishop was at bat. Amid tremen- dous excitement Bishop lifted a high foul into a corner of the field boxes in (Continued on Page 2, Column 7.)

Rivers and harbors appropriations for 1932 totaled $82,500,000. For 1933 the engineers have asked for approximately $75,000,000. A survey along the Mississippi has shown that levee work from Cairo, III, to New Orleans is being done for two- thirds of the estimated cost of such work in 1928. High engineering officers said today the cut in their appropriation was pos- sible through reduced costs and would not interfere with the Army’s program.
