. BLUM SUMMONS COLONIAL PARLEY Heads of Mediterranean Administratiens Discuss Native Unrest. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, September 11.—Premier Leon Blum summoned the adminis- trators of France's territories along the Mediterranean Sea into confer- ence today to discuss the danger of native unrest growing out of the Bpanish civil war. ‘The colonial authorities indicated the government had detected secret agitation of an undisclosed nature among the Mohammedans of French North Africa, a movement which they hoped to nip before it spread. They suspected the agitation was earried on by a network of native runners, who nightly gathered to re- lay news and propaganda by word of mouth. ‘The Mediterranean High Commit- tee, including the governor general of Algeria and the residents general of Morocco and Tunisia, was brought to- gether to discuss the situation for the first time since early in the year, when it met to consider possible re- percussions of Italy's campaign against Ethiopia. (French Morocco in particular would be a danger spot in such a situation. It adjoins the Spanish Moroccan zone, where the Fascist army rebellion against Leftist Spain broke out nine weeks ago tonight.) French (Continued From First Page.) wrested important labor victories from the government which they helped put into power, want to go the whole way toward collectivization of the plants in which they work. Reconsideration Asked. As for the demands against the Reutrality policy which France initifated in an effort to isolate the Spanish civil war—a struggle be- tween another Socialist-dominated government and Fascist insurgents— the General Confederation of Labor in France has asked reconsideration ©of the government’s stand. ‘The confederation, claiming 5,000,- 000 members, did, nevertheless, re- affirm its support of the Blum admin- Ustration, An important obstacle to enforce- ment of the labor laws is increasing Tesentment by big industrialists to the added expense.

MADRID, September 11 (#)—Large buildings, including a Carmelite con- vent, were set afire today in Oviedo, government sources reported, by an intense bombardment of the northern eity. Government bombers, they said, de- stroyed the Civil Guards and Civil Governors Buildings in a rain of shells which scattered building blazes through the city. Rebels, the report said, attempted ¢o flee the city, but were barred by Bocialist guns. Oviedo was said to have lacked water since September 5.

THE Former Spanish Queen Rushing To Bedside of Son in New York Victoria Is Draw: . Gravity of Count’s v o Condition. By tne Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 11.—Only the gravity of her son’s condition, friends agreed today, could have per- suaded Victoria, unhappy former Queen of that name, passed through to see the Count of Cavadonga. Today the middle-aged Victoria, granddaughter of Britain’s famous queen of that name, passed through the Straits of Gibraltar en route from Nice to New York. From her ship Victoria could see the war-torn shores of the country where her own life was often in peril. Fighting Hemophilia, In a New York hospital, awaiting the arrival of his mother September 17, Count Alfonso lay critically ill after the eighth blood transfusion in two weeks designed to offset the ravages of hemophilia. Accompanying Victoria are her daughter, Princess Beatrice; the lat- ter's husband, Prince Alessandro ‘Torlonia, son of the former Elsie Moore of New York, and their 7-month-old baby. It is the former Queen’s and prin- cess’ first trip to the United States, but it is the second time they have rushed to the count’s bedside in two years. Their visit before forced them to come face to face with the Cuban commoner he marrjed, the former Edelmira Sampedro, who is now suing him for divorce. Inherited Disease. ‘The sons of Victoria inherited hemo- philia, & disease transmitted to males through female lines of some Euro- pean royal families in which blood fails to clot properly. ‘The sons often have been attended by Victoria and her daughter, who trained as a nurse. But they arrived by VICTORIA. too late two years ago, when Gonzalo, the youngest, bled to death after an automobile accident in Austria. Alfonso, the eldest, is in the most serious condition of his life after having a thigh boil lanced by a hotel physician. He has bled intermit- tently for hours and even days at & time since the operation August 25. _— Oviedo had driven back government militiamen in a battle.) Dump Troops Into Toledo. The government, despite its opera- tions in the north, was reported dump- ing more and more troops into Toledo Province in an effort to drive the rebels back toward Extremadurs, Huelva and Seville, further south and west of the capital. Newspaper articles, declaring the government more than ever certain of defeating the rebellion, said the rebels would be swept back into some southern city, there to await the same fate as the besieged Fascists in the Toledo Alcazar. Newspaper reports said the ap- parent insurgent strategy was to reach the town of Alcazar de San Juan in Ciudad Real Province in an effort to surround Madrid. ‘The plan, they said, would be futile because it is already known and orders have been issued to clear the way for military operations in Madrid Province and evacuate the towns of San Martin de Valdenglesias and Naval Carnero. Huesca, in the northeast, was re- ported about to surrender. (A few days ago the government said it had occupied Huesci.) Bombard Rebel Positions. In the province of Malaga, whose capital is still in the governmént's hands, military dispatches said loyal artillery had bombdrded rebel posi- tions in the vicinity of Antequera. They said government troops cap- tured the town of Bodadilla in a sur- prise attack, routing the rebels and in- flicting heavy losses. In other towns of Malaga Province, the reports said, farmers peacefully collected their harvests, although they carried their rifles and shotguns into the flelds with them. Government militiamen were report- ed today to have halted the advance of several rebel columns in the Tala- vera de 1a Reina sector west of Madrid. An official announcement declared the Fascists, led by Gen. Prancisco Franco, commonder in chief of the revolution, were forced to stop near Arenas de San Pedro in Avila Province. CLAIM 2,000 KILLED. Rebels Report Heavy Loyalist Losses on Island of Mallorca. (Copyright, 1936, by the Associated Press.) BURGOS, Spain, September 11 The rebel “Nationalist” junta an- nounced today that more than 2,000 Spanish government troops had been killed in an ill fated attack on the Island of Mallorca. The attack occurred September 4, the junta announced. A government column of 6,000 men participated, and the insurgents said only about 4,000 were able to retreat by ship to Valencia. A dozen cannon, 21 machine guns, 500,000 cartridges and 200 hand grenades were reported taken by the rebels. The newspaper Diario De Burgos at the same time said a “final” at- tack on San Sebastian, in the north, was imminent and that negotiations for surrender of that city had failed because the government defenders de- manded unmolested removal of “red” militiamen to Bilbao to aid the de- fense there, LACK NEWS OF ATTACK. The State Department late yester- day was without any information con- cerning a reported attack on an American merchant ship by a Span- ish submarine. The battleship Okla- homa, which left Gibraltar several days ago to return to American wat- ters, was said by the Navy Depart- ment to be due at Hampton Roads, Va., today. The American heavy cruiser Quincy and the Coast Guard cutter Cayuga were believed to be somewhere near Gibraltar in the Mediterranean area last night but their exact location was not immediately available. These vessels, along with two American de- stroyers, were ordered withdrawn from Spanish waters. The office of Naval Communica- tions, which is in direct radio contact with the Quincy, said the cruiser had not reported any American warship going to the assistance of another vessel. The Quincy is in direct charge of operations of the vessels in that area and normally would be the first to be advised of any such movement. OlIL BURNERS DEPENDABLE ECONOMICAL GUARANTEED Wm.

EVENING ‘STAR, WASHINGTON; DRIVE IN WYOMING Assails Proposal to Move South Dakota Families Hit by Drought. BY the Associated Press. ABOARD KNOX CAMPAIGN TRAIN, September 11.—Touring the cattle country in quest of Western votes, Col. Frank Knox, Republican vice presidential nominee, swung into ‘Wyoming today. The candidate, traveling in a spe- cial campaign train scheduled to cover 22,000 miles before election day, headed into Wyoming at Chadron for & major address at Casper. Knox toured South Dakdta yester- day. He made six short talks from the rear platform of his train and two major addresses, one in Mitchell and the other at Rapid City. Entering the “dust bowl” in West~ ern South Dakota, Knox assailed pro- posals to move some farm families, hard hit by drought, into other areas. “You aren't quitters,” he told rail- road station crowds. Many of his lis- teners were farmers in overalls. “There are those who will tell you your soil is exhausted,” he said at Rapid City. “There are those who want to make a Little America out of America. I tell you they are wrong. Agriculture is going to make a come- back.” Knox declared a “whispering cam- paign” was under way way against the Republican presidential candi- date, Gov. Alf M. Landon, to the ef- fect that “relief will be kept down” if the Landon-Knox ticket wins. “It is & monstrous slander on a de- cent, straight-shooting man,” Knox said. “I'll tell you what will be re- duced—waste and political use of re- lief money. Cut out the waste in Gov- ernment and there will still be plenty left for relief. ‘'We are not going to take relief away from the people that need it.” Maxwell (Continued From First Page.) evidence justified the jury’s verdict, and said: “This was no backwoods inquisition. At the trial an able, impartial and experienced judge presided. The ac- cused was represented by counsel, emi- nently competent, who interposed on her behalf every defense which could with propriety have been offered.” ‘The Supreme Court’s reversal of the verdict of a Wise County Circuit Court jury reopened one of the most celebrated legal cases in Virginia court history. Miss Maxwell, 21-year-old school teacher, was convicted of the murder of her father, Trigg Maxwell, in their cabin home, at Pond. She contended that she struck her father with a high-heeled slipper as he attempted to whip her in a family pr—— Bad Breath Comes from Constipation Don't try to cover up bad breath: Remove the cause.

She, her mother and a younger sister testified the father was drunk at the time. The commonwealth argued that the slaying was deliberate and the outgrowth of long-standing enmity between father and daughter. The State did not ask the death penalty, however. Circuit Judge H. A. W. Skeen, the trial judge, twice refused to set aside the jury's verdict and grantea new trial. The Supreme Court consented March 18, 1936, to review the case, which was argued at the court's June term at Wytheville, M. J. Fulton of Richmond and Charles Henry Smith of Alexandria argued the case for the appellant and Attorney General A. P. Staples rep- resented the State. Edith’s mother, Mrs. Anne Maxwell, also is under indictment for the slay- ing of her blacksmith-miner husband, but her trial had been postponed pending the daughter’s appeal.
