OPENING OF OLD QUESTION BY GERMANY IS DENIED| “Whipping Like Mangy Dog” Is Held Due for Cabinet Permitting International Probe. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, September 19.—A govern- ment spokesman took issue today with the “unfriendly form” of yesterday's British note opposing Germany’s pro- cedure in demanding arms equality. It goes without saying” he said, “that we cannot accept the reasoning of | the British memorandum, according to | which Germany of her own accord and without compelling reason raised a| political issue of vast implications. “The unfriendly form which clothes the charge that we proceeded in a man- | ner tactically wrong and calculated to disturb the harmony between nations does not establish the truthfulness of | this charge. Recognized as Urgent.” “This is an old question which has long been recognized by the people of all foreign countries as urgent. The English note is in striking contrast to Fnglish public opinion. It was not Ger- many which, out of a clear sky, forced discussion of this question, but the negative character of the resolutions which came out of the disarmament conferences. “Germany said nothing more than that complete and juridical equality of her armaments status must result from the Disarmament Conference. “Since a positive result seems pos- sible along the lines followed hitherto, Germany pointed the way to a prac- tical solution.” | He asserted that no normal man could uncerstand the juricical differ- | ence, as construed in the British memorandum, between the purpoce of treaty provisions and the conditions for { achieving that purpose. | As for tho reported suggestion by | Premier Herrist of France that an in- ternational investigation be conducted of Germany's “clandestine armaments,” the spokesman said: “Should Be Whipped Like Dog.” “Any German government would and | should be’ whipped like a mangy dog 1if | it permitted foreign powers o exer- cise such control in Germany.” Certain secret documents regarding German arms referred to in the French | Senate Foreign Affairs Committee are believed by the German government to | be the same ones used during the ad- | wministration of the late Gustav Strese- imended a civil commission of neutrals, SENATOR J.

In an official m:morandum issued from the foreign office yesterday the government insisted the German prob- JTem must be solved by negotiation, and declared Germany's threat to quit the Disarmament Conference was “unfortu- nate” at a time when attention and energy should be directed to econcmic rehabilitation of the world. “Granted that this question of equal status would have arisen before the Disarmament Conference concluded its work, there is a grave disadvantage in forcing it to the front at this stage,” the note said. “In view of Germany's economic diffi- culties, the initiation of an acute con- troversy in the political field at this moment must be accounted unwise, and. in view of the concessions so Te- cently granted to Germany by her creditors, it must be accounted un- timely e The announcement of the British stand was met with general, though not unqualified approval in London today.

WAR FEVER IN COLOMEIA. Theusands Clamor for Break With Peru | Over Port. | BOGOTA, Colombia, September 19 | () —Tens of thousands of Colombians | clamored today for war with Peru, and went down into their pocketbooks and their jewel cases to provide funds to finance it. ‘The Senate passed on second reading a bill authorizing the government to arrange a credit of $10,000,000 for na- | tional defense. The action followed a rcport on the seizure September 1 by Peruvian citizens of the Colombian port of Leticia, on the Amazon. Leticia was ceded to Colombia in the boundary treaty with Peru in 1922. Although the Peruvian government informed_Colombia that as far as it | knew no Peruvian soldiers were involved | in the seizure and that it was merely a regional 2ffair, the milling crowds | which filled the streets here through- out the night shouted for war and yelled “Down with Sanchez Cerro!” Luis M. Sanchez Cerro is President of Peru. Women offered their jewels to the government and large subscriptions were pledged by various organizations. Among these was on offer of $50,000 from the Jockey Club, $10.000 from the Students’ Association, $50,000 from a lottery and $1,000 from the newspaper 1 Tiempo.

The jury was completed and sworn at 11:35 a.m. (Eastern standard time), an hour and 55 minutes after the opening of court. The court next turned its attention toward obtaining two alternate jurors. They were sworn three minutes later. Witnesses Excluded. At the Government’s request all wit- By the Associated Press. | nesses were ordered out of the court| room. There then took place a discus- sion between the court and attorneys, the former offering to open court earlier and stay later than usual each day in order to expedite the trial. The attor- neys agreed. Luncheon recess until 1 p.m. (East- ern standard time) was ordered at this point. The court cautioned the jurors | against outside discussions. Members of the jury are Herman Rieb, executive; Rubin Schlager, retired silk jobber; Nicholas J. Schery, con- | iractor; Benjamin Cohen, wholesale mil- liner; Jack Levy, grocer; Christopher J. Donnelly, artist; Henry J. Moore, photo- | engraver; Joseph D. Kane, assistant credit manager; Andrew J. Blair, clerk; Gustave Lachmann, retired milliner; Sidney B. Childs, investments, and J.

Last week he obtained a reverance so he might! be tried before the Novembar balloting, in which he seeks re-election. As director general of the Loyal Order of Moose, Davis is named in two indict- ments, cne charging conspiracy to cause the delivery of lottery tickets by express to members of the New York Lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose in October and November, 1931. The second indictment includes nine | counts charging transportaticn of lot- tery tickets from Pennsylvania to New York in 1931. Defended By Tuttle. Davis wss represented by former United States Attorney Charles H. Tut- tle. Assisting Tuttle was Charles J. Margiotti of Pittsburgh and Joseph E. Davies The Government's cace was in the hands of Louis M. Treadwell, assistant United States attorney for the southern district ¢f New York. Conviction on all the counts would provide a maximum possible penalty of 20 years in prison and fines totaling $28,000. Government Outlines Case. The afternoon session found the court room filled to capacity, and there was a long line in the corridor hoping for admission. Government attorneys entered laden with documents, data and law books. Treadwill began his opening statement immediately. He outlined the two indictments in which Davis is named and told the jury they concerned lotteries known as the “1930 Mooseheart charity ball” and the 1931 Mooseheart charity ball.” The charge of conspiracy, Treadwell told the jury, “doesn’t mean that we will prove these men sat around a table and agreed to violate the law. But we will show they knew that lottery tickets were being sent from State to State. We need not show that Senator Davis knew of each ticket. “We are going to show you that these lotteries were run with the knowledge and to the financial benefit of Senator Davis.” The court expressed belief that the trial would be protracted. “I think the jurors should be notified to that effect when they are called,” the judge said. Warns Against Prejudice. “This case involves a man whose name is known to all of you,” he said, and cautioned the jurors against form- ing opinions from anything adduced outside of court. He described Davis as “Secretary of Labor under Presidents Hoover, Cool- idge and Harding, now United States Senator from Pennsylvania, and director general of the Loyal Order of Moose.” Senator Davis, a stocky, gray-haired ‘man, who came to America as an immi- grant boy and worked his way up frcm an iron puddler, sat in the midst of seven attorneys and their assistants and listened intently while Judge Coleman reviewed the charges against him. “These alleged lotteries were osten- sibly, or actually, for benevolent pur- (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.) ¢ Fhening WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION c, | ,l‘\‘\m\‘ I A ¥ OPENING OF MR.

Following this session there was a park forum meeting of the American Institute of Park Executives under the | chairmanship of Alfred MacDonald. i Speaking at this session, S. Herbert Hare, landscape architect of Kansas City, Mo., discussed acquisition of park land in connection with real estate sub- divisions, pointing out that all park ac- quisitions should be made with regard to a master plan, not only for the sub- division but for the entire area, with ample park spaces for congested areas. He contended triangular plots and small community areas should be maintained by local organizations of “home asso- ciations” for the benefit of the par- deular local community. L. H.

Announcement today by Senator | Brookhart of Iowa that he_ will start for the West immediately by airplane | to attend a mass meeting of Towa farm- | ers, at Sfoux City, Wednesday, in re- | sponse to their invitation, led to specu- | lation as to whether the Senator, who | lost his fight for renomination in the Republican primary, will run as an in- | dependent in the coming election. | Brookhart was defeated in the pri- mary early this year by Henry Field. The Senator has the remainder of this month to determine whether he will enter the senatorial race. He made no reference to the possi- | cepting the invitation to the farmers’ meeting. When asked whether he had reached a decision, he said he wanted to | wait until he gets to Iowa and looks | over the situation. | The Senator made public a telegram | he received today from a Farmers'| Meeting Executive Committee, sent by Ed A.

MOBILIZNG TOMORROW T0 END FLL FORES FOR DRV T0 VITOR Sanders Confident After Con- ferring With Hoover, Cur- tis and Others. RALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA HELD GOOD PARTY SIGN Vandenburg Reports Michigan Leaders on Tozs—Concern Felt Over Democratic Gains. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, With President Hoover, Vice Presi- deat Curtls and Chairman Everett Sanders of the Republican National Committee all in Washington today the plans for an intensive Republican campaign from now until election day were still further developed. Mr. Sanders, who was in conference with the President and with Secretary Mills and Secretary Hurley, is to leave later today to return to Chicago and the Republican headquarters there. The Republican chairman declared his belief that the country will re-elect President Hoover and Vice President Curtis. He insisted there had been s steady sweep of sentiment in favor of the President ever since he made his acceptance speech. The Republicans, however, are planning to overlook no bets. They are mobiliz- e l;mg l}:}sz of speakers who are to arry to the country the doctrines which the President enunciated in his acceptance speech. They believe that in the seven weeks remaining before election the country can be made to realize the nced of keeping Mr. Hoover and the Republicans in power and turning down the Democrats. Curtis Meeting Enthusiastic. Vice President Curtis, who opened the Republican campaign in Pennsylvania on Saturday, said today that the meet- |ing had been a most enthusiastic out- pouring of voters from all parts of the State and that it was one 0? the largest political gatherings ever held in the Keystone State. He was informed by the Pennsylvania leaders there was every reason to believe that the Re- publicans would roll up the usual Re- publican majority in the State when November 8, election day, arrives Mr. Curtis leaves here tomorrow to go campaigning in Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia before heading West. In Tennessee he will speak at Repul lican meetings in Knoxville and Chat- tanooga. The Republicans carried all three of these border States in 1928, and they are to make a real campaign in them this year. Vandenburg Is Confident. One of the President’s callers today was Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, who told the President that. everything was in readiness for an intensive cam- paign in that State. He himself, he £aid, already has been touring the State to some extent. The Democrats are claiming a chance to carry Michigan this year, relying on unemployment and hard times to throw this Republican stronghold to them. But the Repub- lican leaders insist that when the show- down comes Michigan will be found in the Republican column. Senator Vandenberg said: “T believe President Hoover will carry Michigan. There has been a real swing toward him, particularly since he de- livered his acceptance speech. That was the most effective political utter- ance in my time. A few more center shots of that kind from the President will do a great deal to win this cam- paign.” Senator Vandenberg said he found the audiences he talked with more at- tentive than in other political cam- paigns, indicating a desire to hear the whole 'story. G. 0. P. Feels Concern. There is no doubt whatever, how- ever, that the Republicans are exer- cised over the situation in Michigan. The primary there last week showed that the Democrats polled 34 per cent of the total vote cast in the State and 53 per cent of the vote cast in Detroit Such a thing has been almost unheard of in the past so far as Michigan is concerned. ~ Furthermore, the registra- tion in Detroit this year is up to 500,000, with some registration days still to come in October. This is 125,000 greater than the registration in 1928, There is a fear on the part of some of the Republicans that the big vote may turn out to be a protest vote against hard times. Detroit has been one of the hardest hit cities in the country. A group of newspaper editors from Michigan is in Washington today_and will be entertained by President Hoo- ver at the White House at 9 o'clock tonight. Senator Vandenberg is to be their host at dinner at 6:30 o'clock. At dinner will be Secretary of Commerce Roy D. Chapin and Ferry K. Heath, Assistant Secretary of the Treasul both of whom are from Michigan.
