| VARIETY FEATURES | DAY IN POLITICS Mrs. Roosevelt for Repeal. President Scored as Waste- ful-—Garner Fishing. By the Associated Press. Prohibition, predictions and talk of this and that blended today to keep before the voters a political dish in- tended both to look well and suit the taste. Near the top of things was the story showing Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt atill is a personal dry, but that she and her Democratic presidential nominee husband agree that the eighteenth amendment should be repealed. The wife's reason is a lack of belief that the amendment has worked success- fully. ‘Then there was the White House an- nouncement that President Hoover, confronted with a lot of work, can not take time off to go to California to open the Olympic Games or receive notice that the Republicans have nomi- nated him for re-election. “Hoover Extravagance” Hit. Next came Senator McKellar, Demo- crat of Tennesse?, with the charge that Mr. Hoover “has been prating about ‘rigid economy’ and yet he has recom- mended” that the just-closed Congress appropriate $9,000,000,000. “That,” said the Senator, wicked and vicious extravagance. A sort of an answer to already voiced criticisms of Congress for ap- propriating that much—President Hoo- ver has plamed the legislators for fail- ure to economize—came from Rear Ad- miral Richard E. Byrd. In Boston, addressing a non-partisan economy league, Byrd said Congress- men. to a degree, had been at the mercy of organized minorities. Another taste was added to the pot- pourri by the Chicago speech of Col. Robert R. McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, blaming ‘“reds” in Congress for “a riot of confiscation” in the new tax law. Garner and Tunney. Other things that hodge-podged the dish even more were: Speaker Garner began hunting, fishing and riding down at his Uvalde, Tex., home: Gene Tun- ney. boxer. got his first workout as & political campaigner up at Columbia, Conn., saying the Democrats are aware of the necessity of “selecting good men for candidates”; Norman Thomas, So- cialist presidential candidate, said he would begin his most_intensive cam- paign July 30; Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, who couldn't win the Republ can senatorial nomination in Pennsyl- vania, withdrew as the prohibition can- didate; Robert R. Reynolds, Demecratic nominee for the Senate from North Carolina, predicted that State would go for Roosevelt instead of Hoover as it did in 1928. JERSEY CITY REFUSES TO LIFT HANDBILL BAN Mayor Tells Protesting Merchants Newspaper Advertising Is Better Than Circulars. By the Associated Press. JERSEY CITY, N. J. July 20.—Led by Mayor Hague, the City Commission yesterday refused to rescind an ordi- nance forbidding house-to-house distri- bution of advertising circulars and handbills. The mayor told several merchants ‘who urged the abolition of the ordi- nance that in the past sneak thieves and worse criminals had gotten into homes in the guise of handbill dis- tributors. He said Jersey City is “re- | markably free from crime” @nd the City Commission wanted to keep the city that way. Newspaper advertising, the mayor told the merchants, is a better form of advertising than handbills or circulars. AVIATRIX TO TESTIFY ° Mrs. Keith-Miller to Take Stand in Lancaster Slaying Trial.

More than 400 young men in military garb relaxed the precision of their ranks today to give President Hoover a round of applause after he delivered a brief address to them. ‘The President inspected two groups from the Citizens' Military Training Camps nearby and then paused to say he congratulated them upon their serv- ice to the country.

MURDER CHARGED INBRUTALITY CASE Warrants Against 13 Police- men—rFour Face Second- Degree Counts. By the Assoclated Press. MINEOLA, N. Y., July 30.—Warrants were issued for 13 county policemen to- day in connection with the death of Hyman Stark, a prisoner, after lengthy police “questioning.” Four of the war- | rants charged second-degree murder. The officers charged with second- Zander and Charles Wesser. Charged With Conspiracy. All 13 policemen were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, and seven of them were charged with sec- ond-degree assault. Deputy Police Chief Frank Tflp}.wn was named in two war- rants, one for neglect of duty and again as having been an accessory to the third-degree beating of Stark, which caused his death. All 13 were arrested in the court room where a John Doe hearing into the slaying was in progress. They were turned over to the sheriff, who was in- structed to treat them just like any other prisoners. Heavy Bail Set. Bail was fixed by Supreme Court Jus- tice Meler Steinbrink, who presided at the hearing and signed the warrants, at $10.000 each for the officers charged with second-degree murder. Bail of $2,500 each was set for the assault | charges and bail of $1,500 was fixed on the conspiracy charges and the neglect of duty charge against Tappen. The men charged with second-degree | assault are Detectives Patrick Stanley, Marcel Chagnon, George Hutchison, Thomas Bonanza and Joseph Hyzenski and Patrolmen Lanis Ray and Harry Liliegren. Scored by Justice. “There is no slightest doubt,” Justice Steinbrink said, “that Stark died be- | cause of what happened at police head- quarters. The fact that he was a crim- inal makes no difference. If that could be taken into account it would be just as justifiable to take these policemen they confessed their part in this brutal killing.” | " In turning the policemen against | sheriff Justice Steinbrink told_them it | was “about time you men realized the best thing you can do is go to the dis- trict attorney and tell the truth.” SILENCE IS PROMISED BY MRS.
