HERRERA TAKEN ONMURDER COUNT Cuban Who Was President for a Day Surrendered in New York. Gen. Alberto Herrera, President of Cuba for a day during the recent po- litical upheavals there, who lies at the point of death in a New York hospital, may face a murder charge in his na- tive land if he survives, as a result of the representations of a Washington attorney. Jo V. Morgan of the legal firm of Douglas, Obear, Morgan & Campbell returned to Washington today and re- lated the details of the New York hearing yesterday and of Herrera’s ar- rest. The Cuban is charged, together with former President Machado and three soldiers, with the murder of & veteran of the Cuban War of Independence, Col. Mass Glaso, who was shot down May 28, 1928. Herrera fled from the island repub- lic to Jamaica August 13, 1933. From there he made his way to New York City, where United States marshals have searched for him with extradi- tion papers since July of this year. Women Favor Sterilization.

RIOTERS QUELLED AFTER TWO DIE IN LYNCH ATTEMPT (Continued From First Page.) expected to live. Gilbert Freeman, shot through the lungs and stomach, also was expected to die, but late this morning both men were reported resting easily. At 11:45 sm., the mob made its first attack. It was repulsed by tear- gas bombs. ‘Troops then held the throng at bay until 2:15 pm, A Guard officer waved his arms and summoned the mob in an attempt to address it. The rioters gathered close. Then tense nerves snapped. Yelling in rage, the throng closed with the troops. Guardsmen turned riot guns, bayonets and tear-gas bombs upon the attackers. Repulsed, the rioters retired temporarily into the public square. In the court room preliminary steps toward putting Harris on trial had been going forward. Forty-five minutes later the third assault began. This time the crowd surged to the court house porch, One man grabbed up a heavy bench and battered down the doors. The troops opened up with .45 automatics and riot guns in bitter face-to-face fight- ing. At 3 pm. the court recess ended and Judge Coleman declared a mis- trial, dismissing the jury. “The adjutant general told me that he could handle the situation so as to have the trial, but that it might result in the killing of as many as .00 peo- ple,” said the judge later. “I told him that I didn’t want that done and that I would declare a mis- trial to avoid bloodshed.’ Approximately $1,800 worth of Ten- that's heated with Colonial « « « Pennsylvania’s finest Hard Coal.

By the Assoclated Press. Following President Roosevelt’s de- cision to withhold any hint of this Winter's plans until Congress con- venes, preparations to receive him at the Capitol on the first or second day of the new session have given rise to the belief the Chief Executive will seek & psychological advantage by deliver- ing his first message in person. As was the case when Congress opened its last session, Mr. Roosevelt's forthcoming message probably will deal with principles and policies, with spe- cific recommendations to come later. He found last session that a series of separate proposals for legislation kept the opposition off balance and allowed changes in strategy to meet developments. The program on social, relief, pub- lic works and budgetary legislation is virtually complete, but the Presi- dent is guarding its details closely. Mr. Roosevelt’s political advisers have urged him to postpone his radio message until Congress has settled to work, They argued that revela- tion of the President’s views before Congress meets might cause reactions that would strengthen the opposition. It has been argued also that the attitude of the new 76 Democrats in the House and the 13 new Demo- cratic Senators has yet to be ascer- tained, while some restlessness has This Year You'll Want a New Pair of Other Nettleton Styles $9.00 1o $20.00 F STREET AT TENTH #% A3 been manifest among some veteran DUST STORM IN ALASKA FAIRBANKS, Alaska, December 20 (P)aA dust storm, the first in De- eémber in the history of the city, filled the alr ‘yesterday as a stiff wind whipped over this area, bare of snow because of the recent unprecedented warm weather, The warm weather, however, was definitely over, with a temperature of 3 above zero, Aprll Showers Toilet Sets, reduced to .
