FORDNEY,” said Sheriff Brown of Lake Dalton, “I came to New York to ask your help in clearing up the murder of Horace Perkins at Luckley Lodge.” “Sit down and tell me about it,” in- vited Fordney. “The family chauffeur, return- ing from the sta- tion at 10 o'clock on Christmas eve, found Perkins lying in a field, five yards off the lodge drive, with his skull bashed in. “He telephoned me immediately and I instructed him to see that nothing was _dis- turbed. Arriving 15 minutes later, I personally ex- amined the ground #0 no clues would be destroyed. “The only footprints to be found were six of Perkins' leading from the drive o the spot where he lay. Around the body were a number of deep impres- sions about two inches square. It had been snowing all day until half an hour before the discovery of Perkins. “Leading away from the body and ending at the main road, 200 yards distant, were & number of these same impressions—in some places badly run together. “A stranger in our parts is quickly neted and investigation failed to reveal & recent one. There were absolutely no other clues and I could find no motive for the crime. “It has me stumped, | professor,” concluded Brown “Give me a little time,” said Fordney. | “Perhaps I can help you. I'll call you at your hotel.” An hour later he said over the phone “Sheriff, look for a man ... Such son only could possibly have com- d the murder.” WHAT DID FORDNEY SAY TO BROWN?

Col. Grant, who is being succeeded | by Col\J. A. Woodruff as director of the Office of Public Buildings and Pub- lic Parks, as well as vice chairman and executive officer of the National Capi- tal Park and Planning Commission, was lauded by the board for his many years of service to the Capital while in the Government service here. He has been transferred to duty at the Army War College. Distinguished Guest List. Dr. Luther H.

By the Associated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala., doctrine of State’s rights, which sent the South into civil conflict and still is | a nursery lesson in Dixie, has become an issue in the prohibition fight in Ala- | bama. Repeal advocates who seek to put Alabama in the repeal column when this State votes on the liquor question | July 18 have pushed State’s rights and | party regularity to the front as per- | suasive weapons. Prohibitionists are stressing the moral and economic angles of the question. | “How can voters of Alabama expect | to retain the right to regulate their| jury system and their election system and at the same time deny other States the right to regulate their own internal | affairs?” said A. M. Tunstall, manager | of repeal forces in the campaign. The jury system of Alabama and other Southern States has drawn fire | from several quarters recently on con- | tention colored people are denied the | right to serve on juries. The South’ primary system has been under fire| often since the reconstruction era. “In voting for repeal, Alabama, will say to all States that there will be no interference in the future with their own decisions regarding internal prob- lems,” Tunstall said.

In a newspaper interview today the many would indorse his system and yesterday's ban, on grounds of treason, of the Socialists, hitherto second in im- tions were ordered.

Just two days ago the Hitler adminis- tration dissolved the auxiliary organ- izations of Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, Nationalist party leader, and raided | various party headquarters. His Tesig- | nation from the ministries of agricul- | ture and economics was predicted. { Meanwhile the Boy Scouts organiza- ticn was dissolved by Baldur von Schirach, new German youth leader, | who ordered a blandek dissolution of | similar organizations preparatory to welding the youngsters into a national youth group. No indication was given that this latest move in the announced program of “Germanizing” the youth constituted | a challenge to a manifesto issued this week by Catholic leaders, who claimed the right to carry on religious, health and occupaticnal training of youths | within the church. P In the interview, printed in the Danish Berlingske Tidende, Chancellor Hitler was quoted as saying he believed | the World Economic Conference would | accomplish _something, although he could not say the same about the dis- armament parleys. Replaces Trade Union Heads. Meanwhile, the trades union commis- sioner, Robert Ley, completed his efforts to control workers and employes by ousting all Christian trade union lead- ers and replacing them with Nazis. Catholic and Protestant workmen's associations also, Ley said, “must dis- appear, as they are an enemy of the state.” The secret police suspended for one week the Nationalist Deutsche Zeitung, one of whose editors is & nephew of Dr. Hugenberg. The acticn was taken on the ground that the publication had asserted that last Wednesday, when the authorities broke up the Nationalist fighting units, Herbert von Bismarck, commander of those units, went volun- tarily instead of by compulsion to the police for a hearing. Bismarck is a grandnephew of the iron chancellor. The secret police also ordered suspen- slon for two weeks of the Evangelical Daily Reichsbote for criticizing the government’s attitude toward the Jews. In Oldenburg a German Naticnalist member of the Diet named Bunnemann dissolved the state organization of the party, of which Dr. Hugenberg was the national head. REDUCED BRIEF PRICES BYRON S.

[ | By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 23.—The| movement for a referendum on the Mosier law, setting up the machinery for a State convention to consider re- | tention or repeal of the eighteenth amendment, was halted today, at least ! temporarily. Acting on a suit filed in the State Supreme Court, Judge Howard L. Bevis issued an alternative writ preventing certification of the Anti-Saloon League referendum petition pending final dis- position of the case. ‘Within an hour after Thomas J. Don- nelly, secretary of the Ohio Federation of Labor and a member of the Ohio Repeal Council, filled the suit, Judge Bevis issued the writ, returnable July 3, and set July 10 as the date for argu- ment of the case. Besides asking a writ of prohibition to prevent certification of the refernaum petition, the repealists requested a writ of mandamus to compel the Secretary | of State George S. Myers to authorize the printing of ballots for the election of 52 delegates at large to the conven- tion. Gov. White set the election for November 7. Almost simultaneously with the filing of Donnelly’s petition, the Franklin County Common Pleas Court received an injunction suit to enjoin Myers from ordering the referendum. It was filed by Mary Fitzpatrick of Cincinnati, who contended the law did not provide for a referendum on any legislative act| involving a Federal amendment. DRY CAMPAIGN BEGUN.
