Portes Gil, for- mer President. resigned the ministry | of foreign affairs in the cabinet | shakeup. | He issued A statement saying that | his fundamental aim is to “second the policies of the President of the Re- Ppublic, serving with complete loyalty.” | Students joined in condemning Calles after Cardenas, at odds with Mexico's “strong man.” forced his! cabinet and other high officials to | resign. Several hundred students demonstrating before the department | of agnculture shouted ‘“death to | Calles” and “death to Garrido.” (Tomas Garrido A. Canabal, former governor of Tabasco, is Cardenas secretary of agriculture and leader of the “Red Shirt” organization, accused | by leftists of Fascist tendencies.) Dispersed Without Casualties. Police dispersed the students with- | out casualties, while Rotarians here | for their international convention opening Monday snapped pictures | from hotel balconies and windows. | Meanwhile, the lines for the appar- ently approaching political struggle ! were more precisely drawn when Col.

C, JUNE 16, 1935—PART ONE. Mrs. Lyddane After Jury Fails to Agree This Changing World Chinese Show Sense of Humor in Appeal to Signatories of Nine- Power Pact Against Attempt of Japan to Grasp New Slice. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ESPITE its hopeless situation D ing can prevent Japan from swallowing up another big slice of China. the Nanking government has not lost its sense of humor. Through its Ambassador in Lon- don it has drawn the attention of the signatories of the nine-power pact that China’s territorial integrity was menaced. | Under the present international con- | ditions there is one thing the powers do not want to be reminded of: The existence of any kind of pacts and agreements. * ok % % To make the joke complete the Chinese have tackled Great Britain first. The Chinese Minister in Lon- don has spoken about the solemn pledzes taken by the British Empire in Washington in 1922 to Britain's new foreign secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare. Sir Samuel is new to the diplomatic game. He is known among his friends | as the “yes, yes” man. This does not carry the implication that he is sub- servient to his chiefs. The British foreign secretary acquired many years ago the habn of injecting into his conversaticns “yes, oh, ves, yes; yes, yes, yes, The habit makes any conversation with him somewhat dulf. R R Yet Sir Samuel, the prototype of the British tory, does not lack a sense of humor. A few years ago, while minister of aviation, he went to a conserva- tive club in London to ploy bridge. It happened that an American newspaper man was a member of that club, and being a fair player, was asked to make up the table. He played against Sir Samuel. The stakes were high and the American nervous lest he lose his monthly expense allowance in one evening. Luck was against him Sir Samuel was winning. hand, with nine clubs to the top hon- ors and the ace of diamonds. He bid a diamond Sir Samuel had top honors in every suit except clubs, of which he had three headed by the jack, thus not noticing their real absence. He bid one no trump. The bidding went on until Sit Samuel bid three no trumps and was doubled by the American; he promptly redoubled. After the newspaper man took the first trick with the ace of diamonds he showed his hand, saying: “Sir Samuel, if you don’t have the jack of clubs protected you are down nine tricks.” Sir John blinked. “How remark- able,” he said, ‘is that the way you play bridge in America?” “Yes,” replied the American, “we call it pocker bridge.” “How quaint,” was Sir John's brief remark. The next day when the American penetrated the sanctuary of the secretary of state for air and was met with a stern refusal from the secretary of Sir Samuel to see the chief, the air minister, who heard the discussion in the ante room, cried out: “Is that the man who bids one dia mond with nine clubsfi Let him come in, by all means.” And the relations between the two men remained cordial ever since. This happened before psychic bidding became recognized in bridge. * % %k It is likely that Sir Samuel does not want to be caught again. That and the realization that noth- | He was dealt a freak | mittal regarding China's protests | against the Japanese invasion. And it is for the same reason again that ecessor, Sir John Simon, regarding Britain’s policy toward the Reich. It was only last March that Sir John rejected fatly the German demand for a navy 35 per cent of the size of the British Navy. Sir Samuel, within a few days after taking over the foreign office, accepted the German claim with- out hesitation, regardless as to what the former allies of Great Britain may think or say. The British foreign secretary has not much imagination; this is why | he will endeavor to follow a realistic international policy, taking as a basis | in conducting the international af- | fairs of the empire the famous saying | some 60 years | of Lord Palmerston, ago: “Great Britain has no foreign policy—it has only foreign interests.” Sad as it is, there is little probubility | | that any of the signatories of the nine- power pact will raise their hand to protect China against the Japanese, Great Britain, France and Italy, the major European powers which have signed that pact, are busy with political situations involving their national life. As far as the United States is con- | cerned the note-sending policy of the | previous administration has been abandoned and the policy of the country can be summed up in five | words, “Shut up and build up (the The British people are so devoted to their dynasty that there is an unwrit- |ten law among the thieves never to | burglarize anything belonging to the | royal family. Some weeks ago thieves stole from a railway carriage a leather bag belonging to Prince George, who was traveling incognito. ‘The newspapers played up the story prominently. Two days later an indi- vidual came to the Vine Street Police Station in London and left the bag, explaining to the officer on duty that when he had “adopted” it, he did not know who the owner was. Not wish- ing to break this tradition among thieves, the police did not arrest the man. — PAY DEMAND PLANNED Workers Want 20 Per Cent More in Woolen Industry. 1 PROVIDENCE, R. I, June 15 (#)— Thomas F. McMahon, international president of the United Textile Work- ers of America, said today that the Executive Committee of the organiza- tion would meet in New York shortly to make ‘demands on the woolen indus- try for a 20 per ‘cent wage increase. Failure of the woolen industry to grant the demand within 10 cays, he said, would lead to another meeting of the Executive Committee to consider strike action. ———e Ferret in Bank Causes Fuss.

Brown, to murder Lyddane; conspir-| ing to procure unknown persons to murder Lyddane, and conspiring to procure unknown persons by unknown means to murder Lyddane. Her love for another man and her desire to collect her husband's $15.000 double indemnity insurance prompted Mrs. Lyddane to plot against the life of Francis Lyddane, State’s Attorney Pugh told the jury in his closing argument. In reply, State Senator Prescott, chief of defense counsel, assailed the credibility of the chief State’s wit- | nesses, particularly that of John (Googy) Carnell, Rockville bar- tender and former Washington police- | man. who described himself from the | witness stand as a petty racketeer. Prescott then took up the character of another State witness, Harry Elmer | Thomas, a former convict. Thomas ! had been promised immunity for his testimony in behalf of the prosecu- tion. defense counsel descnbed a “double double-crosser,” ‘hn had told the jury he accepted “shake-down" money from Mrs. Lyd- | dane in & murder plot he never in- tended to carry through and then did | Carnell out of his “cut.” Prescott called attention to the fact that Carnell was a former bootlegger and had served numerous prison sen- tences for a varied assortment of crimes. Met at Lorton. | In addition, there was the testimony of Irving, Borell, who met Carnell and Thomas while the three were krvmg‘ time at Lorton Reformator “Gentlemen of the jury.” Prescott asked, “how would you like to see your wife or your sister deprived of | her liberty on the testimony of such | disreputable characters?” Pugh contended a person seeking assassinations would not go among “Sunday school teachers” to recruit | them. | Pugh pointed out that Carnell. | Boland and Thomas were the type of | men Mrs. Lyddane might logically seek out should she wish to have some one “bumped off.” | Boland, 42-year-old Washington | gambler, was tried Monday | day before the three judges, | not announce their verdict for fear of prejudicing the Lyddane jury. A purported “guilty verdict” was pub- lished in a morning newspaper Wed- | nesday and resulted in contempt of court citations against two Washing- ton reporters and editors. The cita- | tion is returnable Monday. Carnell pleaded guilty when Bo- land’s trial opened Monday on charges | he conspired with Carnell and Mrs. Lyddane to kill “Slom” Lyddane. His sentence was deferred at that time. Boland “Confession.” Boland first signed a “confession” | for police, saying he had participated | in the plot. He later repudiated the statement and declared he merely had intended to help Carnell blackmail | | Mrs. Lyddane by threatening to show | certain “terrible” pictures of Mrs.| Lyddane and “another fellow” to her | husband. In summing up the case Pugh uldw Carnell, acting as “contact man,” brought Boland to Mrs. Lyddane’s| apartment and overheard him agree with Mrs. Lyddane to do the murder. He said Boland then approached Thomas and Willlam Carley, alias Willie Brown, Alexandria hijacker, asking them to be the “trigger men.” Brown told the court he turned the offer down. Thomas said he listened, | pretended to accept and then went with Borell to see Mrs. Lyddane, who naid him $200 on his assurance that he had “Slom all tied up.” In her testimony Friday Mrs. Lyd- dane said she paid $200.in blackmail | money to two strangers who threat- ened to expose her relations with Arthur Beall, Darnestown garage man, | whose wife once named Mrs. Lyddane co-respondent in a divorce suit. She said she was afraid of losing her job at the bank in event of “unpleasant notoriety.” Quizzed about the $750 she had on her person at the time of her arrest, Mrs. Lyddane testified she drew $900 from the bank some weeks previously to buy some “baby bonds” and to make a payment on a new automobile she planned to buy for her husband. Note Is Introduced. Pugh contended one of the strong- est circumstantial links between Mrs. Lyddane and the conspiracy was con- tained in the “Googy note” found in Carnell's possession at the time of his arrest. The note, addressed to “Googy” and written on a typewriter, demanded that he “go through with the deal” us “I am as much implicated as any of you and don’t care what happens to me if the deal does not go through.” The State’s attorney said two ex- perts, a Washington police photogra- pher and a documental expert from the Treasury Department, had estab- lished that the peculiar markings on the note identified it with the type- writer Mrs. Lyddane used in her office at the bank. Paper In the note was identified by | a Bureau of Standards paper analyst | as of the same stock of that found | in Mrs. Lyddane’s office, and seals on | the envelope were identical with those used by the defendant in her capacity as notary public. Prescott ridiculed the contention that this testimony was binding on thg defendant. He said the note obviously had been written by an inexpert typ- : e st and contained misspelled words | found in Carnell’s confession to police. Second Conspiracy Charge. In another indictment Mrs. Lyd- | dane was accused of conspiring with Edwin J. Davis, a convicted bootleg- ger, of conspiring the assassination of Mrs. Beall. Mrs. Lyddane also was indicted for soliciting conspirators in a murder plot. The four-day trial of Mrs. Lyddane, preceded by Boland's hearing before the judges, excited more interest than any trial here in recent years. ‘Throughout the hearing the court | room was packed with crowds which | filled all the seats and overflowed o the standing room at rear of the chambers. A large percentage of tue spectators were women. The closing day of the testimony was marked with a parade of at least two score character witnesses for the pretty blond defendant. many of them from the most prominent fam- ilies in Rockville. The defense maintained throughout the trial that Mrs. Lyddane was the vietim of blackmailers and hoodlums | who learned of her affair with Beall and used the knowledge to extort money. Prescott freely admitted Mrs. Lyd- dane had been “indiscreet” with Beall, but pointed out that she was not being tried on that charge. One of the staunchest defense wit- | nesses was Lyddane, who took the stand shortly before midnight Priday in an effort to clear the name of his wife. He confirmed Mrs reconciled and living together as man and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Beall also are recon- ciled. They came and left the court house together and seemed om the | best of terms. Mrs. Beall, however, appeared bitter when she related to the jury how on the night before the birth of her youngest child three years ago she found her husband and the defendant in the latter's car parked in the Beall driveway. The wife and mother said Mrs. Lyd- dane laughed in her face as she drove away. Mrs. Beall said her husband held her and begged her “not to make a fuss” 'PARK BODY DROPS FIGHT ON PLAYERS Permission to Use Barn Gramt- ed on Amended Ordi- nance. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., June 15.—Beset by opposition and the threat of legal action since announcement last Spring of plans for conducting a theater this Summer in a remodeled barn on the Rockville pike, members of the Road- side Theater, Inc., Washington dra- matic group, were assured today that they would be allowed to open Monday night without interference. Assurance of the legality of their enterprise came from Walter Dawson, attorney for the Maryland-National | Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion, which has previously opposed | operl'.lon of the theater on the ground that it is in a residential zone and that the ordinance passed by the Board of County Commissioners granting the group permission to use the barn was not valid. The dispute became heated with Mr. Dawson's threat to seek an injunction restraining the theater from operating. Mr. Dawson today said that as a result of Thursday's action of the County Commissioners in passing an | amendment to their previous ordi- nance, which definitely prevents oper- ation of other theaters in residential | areas by specifying the location and seating capacity of the barn to be used by the Roadside group, the Planning Commission has decided to drop its contemplated action. Work of remodeling the barn, lo- cated just north of Georgetown Pre- paratory School, near Garrett Park, will be completed today.

HARRISBURG, Psa., June 15.—The “coal and iron” police, who ruled company towns in Pennsylvania's great centers of industry for years, were abolished by the stroke of a pen to- day. Gov. George H. Earle signed a hlll making company-hired police illegal. The history of the coal and iron police has been punctuated by bitter- ness and violence. Workers in mill towns and mining camps rose time and again against them. The result often | was cracked heads and bruised bodies. It was the fatal beating of John Barcoski, a miner in the Pittsburgh district several years ago, that hasten- ed the end of “the system.” Three coal and iron police were tried on| charges of murdering Barcoski, but | were freed.

The President also supported the recommendation of Postmaster Gen- | eral James A. Farley that the 3-cent first-class postage rate be continued. In discussing the Government's finan- | cial conditions the report said “At the close of the first 10 months | of this fiscal year. on May 3i. 1835 the total receipts of the Federal Gov- | ernment amounted to $3.336.733841. | These receipts were $612,186,571 in | excess of the receipts for the corre- sponding 10 months of the previous fiscal year. In other words, receipts this year show an increase of more | than 22 per cent over last year. The total expenditures for the first 10 months of this fiscal ye2: amount to | $6.470,205.136, which is $98.422.410, or 11, per cent, in excess of the expendi- tures for the first 10 months of the previous fiscal year. The fotal re- ceipts exceed the regular general ex- | penditures of the Government by | nearly $100.000,000 for the first 10 | months of this year, but it must be | borne in mind that the emergency | expenditures, under the relief and | recovery program in the same period amount to over $3.229.000.000. It is obvious that expenditurcs will exceed receipts in both the current fiscal year and the next fiscal year (o an extent which would make extremely unwise a decrease in the Federal revenues. Extension Recommended. “In view, your committee recom- | mends that all these temporary pro- | visions of the revenue laws, which | bring in additional revenues and | which without legislation will auto- | matically expire within the next two months, be extended for a period of | two years. In spite of this recom- | mendation, your committee believes that these taxes and the higher post- ,:ge rate should be removed as soon | as the condition of the Treasury per- ‘mn.!. That time has obviously not arrived as yet. The two-year exten- sion period is selected merely be- cause it is not yet apparent that these additional revenues can be spared before the expiration of such & period. However, if conditions permit, the Congress can, of course, remove these taxes in whole or in part before the expiration of such period. In ad- dition, the joint resolution extends to June 30, 1937, the power granted to | the President under existing laws to reduce the rates on non-local first- class mail matter. Thus, if the Presi- dent finds, after a survey, that con- ditions so warrant. he can reduce the 3-cent postage rate at any time.” (Copyright. N. Y. Herad Tribune, 1935.) | e ik Pediatric Leader Dies.

The matter is said to have been taken up with the Department of Commerce some time ago, with the result that the department suggested that residents procure the numbers of offending airplanes.
