CAPTALISTIC WAR CHARGE IS RAISED Socialist League Speakers in Britain Warn of Repe- tition of 1914. By the Associated Press. g LONDON, September 14.—Warnings against the dangers of an “imperialist- capitalist war” thundered today in the ears of overalled and white-collared workers in 17 cities. Orators at rallies organized by the Socialist League drove home the re- alization of potentialities in the Italo- Ethiopian dispute. At the same time David Lloyd George, World War premier, speaking at a meeting not connected with the Socialist rallies, tongue-lashed the | peace-seeking nations. He said they were idling while Premier Mussolini was “baring his teeth, ready to bury | them in Ethiopia's throat.” British Protest Slap. As the speakers were addressing | their throngs, officials disclosed the British government had made official representations to Italy concerning al- leged anti-British propaganda broad- cast by the Italian radio station at Barl, One of the broadcasts causing the action was reported to have in- cluded the statement: “All the world knows the rest of Islam is suffering under the British rule in Egypt and Palestine.” Sir Stafford Cripps. principal speak- er at the London Socialist anti-war rally, shouted to his listeners: | “If sanctions were to mean nothing | but economic sanctions, then perhaps we might view the situation less crit- jcally. But it is useless to imagine that economic sanctions may not also entail military sanctions. And the | latter may—if ever the necessity for | their imposition arises—entail a first- class European war.” Sees 1914 Repeated. At Cardiff the speaker, L. Ander- son Fenn, cried “One of the most serious dangers threatening the working class of this country is the danger which calls it- self a League of Nations war, but which is in fact an imperialist war. We are in danger of being led away as we were in 1914.” J. R. Clynes, war-time food min- ister and former secretary of state for home affairs, was the main speak- er at Manchester. He told listeners Il Duce's threats to attack Ethiopia “are a monstrous betrayal of Italian pledges to discard war as an instru- ment of national policy.” PROTECTION MOTIVE SEEN IN SLAYING Accused Marthas Vineyard Man Said to Have Killed to Guard Divorcee.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., September 14.— | Nine-year-old Charles Joder, who proudly claims the title of the “man of the family,” and his sister Ruth, 6, cheerfully set out tonight on a long Jjourney for youngsters—away off to French West Africa. It’s not a new country for them at all. They are merely returning to join their father, Rev. Fred Joder, sta- tioned in Africa by the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Waving good-bys to the school friends they made during their two- year stay in Johnstown, Charles and Ruth happily boarded the train for New York. They will sail Monday on the liner West Kebar. “I'll be glad to see my pet monkey #gain,” Charles told his schoolmates. “And were both glad to go back where daddy is. I can look after Ruth on the trip, too.”* The children will remain back in the jungles urtil four years from now, when Rev. Mr. Joder gets a year’s furlough and brings them here again. Charles was born in Johnstown, but Ruth was born in Paris, where her parents were studying prior to leaving for Africa. Mrs, Joder died four years ago, and two years later the father brought the children to his native Johnstown for a.visit with their aunts, the Misses aad Bertha Layton. “The little world travelers won’t be efitirely alone on the 19-day ocean Other missionaries returning THE SUNDAY 'STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SEPTEMBER 15 1935—PART ONE. Long’s Favorite Chef Manager of Broadmoor Grill “Talked Turkey” to Senator. HERE is one man in Washing-% ton who could “talk turkey” to the late Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana and make him like it. He is Marius Manon, manager of the Broadmoor’s silver grill, com- mander in chief of the hotel's| kitchens, and . . . favorite chet of the departed Kingfish. Senator Long would invade his kitchen, his bodyguards close beside him. “Manon,” he’d shout over the noise of clashing pans and rattling dishes, “What do you know about pot _likker?” “Pot likker, bah . . . the high- hatted chef would exclaim. “Wait a minute. Il fix you a dish fit for a kingfish.” And Huey would promptly back down, for he knew by experience that Manon wasn't fooling. Often Did Own Cooking. On those occasions when the Sen- ator wegt “downstairs” for a meal in the hotel restaurant he'd frequently 80 back of the scenes, lock up Manon and pretend to take possession of the entire shop. He'd go to the ice box, pick out his own meats, slip off his coat and often do the actual cooking. But then Manon would get the upper hand and put on a finishing touch or two of high culinary art while the Kingfish smiled his approval. “He was always full of fun,” said Chef Manon reminiscently, “but, be- lieve me, he was a real epicure. He knew the Creole cooking of his Louisi- ana from gumbo to cafe-au-lait. And he knew how to appreciate a good meal. He was my best customer, and what's more, my friend.” Learned to Prepare Oysters. Senator Long would have a barrel of Louisiana oysters sent to Chef Manon each week during the session. He showed him just how he liked them cooked, and Manon succeeded so well that he once promised to take him to Louisiana “to show those ama- teurs down there what a real cook looked like.” Chef Manon prepared many meals for Senator Long during the time he stayed at the Broadmoor, serving him both in the dining room and in his own apartment, He knew all of the Senator’s favorite dishes and took de- light in springing an occasional sur- MARIUS MANON, Favorite chef of the late Senator Huey P. Long. prise on him with a rare sample of old Louisiana cookery. Visited Kitchen Often. “He came to see me often in my kitchen,” says Manon, “sometimes just to chat. And when the dining room would be filled with people during the dancing season, he'd sometimes slip back of the doors with me to watch the crowd where they couldn't see him. Then while the music played he'd talk politics and tell me about | the speech he was going to make the | next day in the Senate.” Manon pointed to a large, shiny broiler in his kitchen. “See that,” he | said. “That was Senator Long’s. No one else used it. I'm going to keep it as a souvenir.” | Chef Manon, who was born in Lyon, Prance, became an American citizen | and joined the A. E. F. during the | ‘World War, serving with the 27th Di- | vision, He is a member of the Costello Post of the American Legion. Before | going to the Broadmoor he was head chef at Wardman Park Hotel for 10 years. H anging of Th Spurred Founding of Academy By the Associated Press. Navy officials recalled yesterday how a mutiny plot in which three midshipmen were hung from a yard- arm at sea spurred founding of the Naval Academy. Looking toward the 90th anni- versary of the Annapolis institution October 10, when historic relics will be displayed and exercises held in commemoration of the early days, they spun this yarn: In 1842, three years before the academy was founded, Philip Spencer, & midshipman, plotted to seize the brig Somers, murder the officers, and hoist the black flag of piracy. Spencer was a son of John Can- field Spencer, then Secretary of War. The brig was returning to New York from the African coast. A whisper of the plot reached Comdr. Alexander Slidell MacKenzie, who ordered Spencer put in irons. In his effects was a list of the crew. Opposite the names, in Greek, were | designations such as “certain” and | “doubtful.” Hanged to Yardarm. Believing this an indication that Spencer already had picked the men he could rely upon to aid him, Mac- | Kenzie called a court of inquiry. After | a day and a half of deliberation it returned a verdict of conmspiracy to mutiny against Spencer and two others, appending the observation that “the safety of public property, the lives of ourselves and of those committed to our charge require that * * * they should be put to death.” Comdr. Mackenzie concurred and, while the brig plowed through bleak December seas, the three were hanged to the yardarm. “The execution,” says naval his- tory, “had a salutary effect on the crew, who immediately returned to their duties with'an alacrity that was | in striking contrast with their pre- vious conduct.” Mackenzie Acquitted. Public opinion was aroused and| Mackenzie was court martialed but | honorably acquitted. | The affair focused attention on the | Navy's method of training young men | —sending midshipmen to sea im- | mediately upon receipt of their war- rants. Aboard ship, the youths learned seamanship by experience and re- ceived a smattering of technical and cultural training from a “school- master.” ‘This arrangement, one naval his- | tory says, resulted in “throwing upon | the Navy such young scapegraces as| SAVE 13 ON COAL COSTS Automatic Buckwheat BLOWER Ba let Anth: k- Theat o i i R Fully automatic — no eompli- eated ism.

CANADIAN RAIL MERGER FOR PUBLIC TO DECIDE Premier Bennett in Campaign Ra- dio Speech Says Problem Will Be Investigated. TORONTO, September 14—Prime Minister R. B. Bennett, campaigning for re-election, said in a speech to- night (broadcast over a Canadian radio hook-up) that his government would make no move to consolidate | Canadian railway systems unless the people gave a “clear and definite man- date.” He said the economic council would make a complete investigation, under | his governmental program, into the | whole transportation problem in | Canada.

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn, Septem- ber 14.—Over the shouted protests of 300 persogs who stormed the court house, Sheriff Elmer Madson today successfully conducted a mortgage foreclosure sale against the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Wiliam Heltkkia. The crowd, however, was orderly and what started out to be an uncon- trolled disturbance, was transformed into a celebration as the ousted farm owners were granted additional mone- tary relief. The couple for the last six months have been receiving $48 a month re- lief, but this amount was increased by $9 a month when the crowd went to the relief office and asked additional help be allowed. 05 INSTALLED Hundreds of installations aver the past § years in Washing- ton and suburbs.

By the Associated Press. Sanford Bates, director of Federal prisons, came back from a tour of Russian and German prisons last week “more reconciled to the short- comings of the American prison system.” Scanning American. prison popula- tion figures, however, Bates expressed concern yesterday over indications that Federal jail rolls would reach a new high this Fall. “One thing, they spend money for prisons over there,” he commented. “In no place in Europe are two or three or five prisoners forced inio & single cell.” But in Russia, Bates found, prison- ers in some jails “knock off work” at 5 p.m. and go home, while Germany keeps most of her convicts in Murder Maximum 10 Years. “The Russian system is a strange combination of extreme severity for plotters against the government, bandits and exploiters of labor, and rather lenient, if not progressive, treatment of many others. Murder draws & maximum penalty of 10 years.” Bates said the Nazis believe in punishment as expiation. They de- manded that the international prison conference in Berlin “abandon the false principles of humanity” in prison work, Bates said. In one German prison, he was told that two-thirds of the convicts were in “separate confinement”—similar to American “solitary”’—working, eating, sleeping and living , entirely inside one cell, Example to U. §. Seen. ‘The prison workshops of the Soviet, where minor offenders work from 8 am. till 5 pm, and then return to their homes, suggest a solution to America's probation problem, Bates said. But he added that prison work is too scarce here. “The main value of the Soviet prison workshop is in watching over the prisoner’s life,” he explained, America’s probation problem arises partly because a probationer often finds honest jobs scarce. Bates said the Prison Bureau cannot give work to all its charges, and so men on probation sometimes drift back into crime, e WHITE HOUSE EXPANDS TO COMMERCE BUILDING By the Assoclated Press. Commerce Department officials said today the White House has taken a suite of five rooms 1n the huge Le- partment of Commerce Building. ‘They were unable to give the pur- pose of the expansion. Overflow work was suggested, but it was recalled that the executive offices were remodeled and enlarged a year ago. The suite of offices apparently was empty of personnel today. In the absence from the city of Stephen Early and Marvin McIntyre of the White House secretariat, it could not be learned to what use the space would be put. LLOYD GEORGE URGES HASTE TO STOP WAR Mussolini No Bluffer, He Says, and Time Has Been Wasted in Geneva. By the Assoclated Press. LLANDRINDOD WELLS, England, September 14.—David Lloyd George, World War premier, urged European powers to make haste today in action to prevent an Italo-Ethiopjan war. “The zero hour is at the end of this month, when the Italian Army has been marked to advance” said the little Welshman. He spoke to a re- glonal meeting of a peace organiza- tion. * “Mussolini’s teeth are bared as he advances. He means in a few days to bury his teeth in the Ethiopian throat, and he has never concealed it. “Why all the delays? The commit- tee (League committee of five) will still be sitting—no one is doing any- thing but Mussolini—and soon, if not already, sanctions when they are de- vised will be worthless, because by that time he will haye on the shores ® B-5 of Africa all he needs for conducting the most ruthless massacre of thesh helpless people defending their native mountains.” Declaring it was vital for Italy to know the real intentions of France and Britain, Lloyd George sald: “Mus- solini never deceived Europe as to what his purpose was. He always meant to invade, occupy and then control Ethiopia. “Why did not the League act promptly when it saw a situation like that working up? Mussolini is not a mere bluffer, He is a man of action.” | GREEN’S SON ARRESTED AKRON.
