" CUBAN OFFICERS EVADE BOMB TRAP Police Discover 20 Sticks of Dynamite Wired to Tele- phone in Apartment. By the Associared Press. HAVANA, September 30.—An ex- plosion intended as a death trap for police and Army intelligence agents was averted today with the discovery of 20 sticks of dynamite wired to a| telephone in a vacant apartment. The officers, investigating the Sep- tember 20 bombing of the newspaper El Pais, were lured yesterday to the apartment, aear the center of Havana, by an anonymous tip it was the hide- out of radicals. The charge was set to explode when the telephone receiver was lifted from the hook. Police, however, suspecting & trap, found the dynamite and broke the connections. The explosives were of the same Mmake and kind as those found after the El Pais bombing, in a truck parked in front of the plant of the news- paper Diario de la Marina. A similar trap claimed the lives of two policemen during the administra- tion of former President Gerardo Ma- ehado. An officer unknowingly lifted the telephone receiver in a vacant house, setting off the blast. Spain _fl!m\tinued From First Page) THE EVEN NG STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

To bolster determined resistance on the road to Madrid the government ordered the conscript classes of 1932 and 1933 to the front. Leaders urged a closer union of all factions of Marxists, Republicans | and Proletarians for the defense of the capital, threatened by a Fascist general advance. Reports flltering into Madrid indi- eated battles were raging to the northwest, the east and on the Bis- cayan coast. Intensive shelling of Socialist posi- tions in the Guadarrama mountains northwest of the city was reported, while an official communique an- nounced a bitter engagement in prog- tess at San Bartolome de Pinares.

TOLEDC, Spain, September 30.— Spain's insurgent columns marched down the main highway to Madrid to- | day, with their headquarters report- ing the occupation of Illescas, biggest town blocking the path to the capital. Tllescas is but 22 miles from Madrid. The rear guard “cleansed” Toledo of the “red influence” meantime as part of the Fascist preparations for a direct onslaught on Madrid. Officers of the insurgent high com- mand, viewing the ruins of the rescued Alcazar as a “tragic” reminder of re- cent government control of the city, said they were determined to make Toledo the “whitest city in Spain.” Preshly printed posters commanded the inhabitants to deliver up all arms. These, it was stated, must be brought fn “with your hands held over your head,” otherwise the citizen will run she risk of being shot on sight.

REBELS CLAIM CAPITAL RINGED. Burgos Announces Direct Attack on Capital to Start Immediately. (Copyright. 1926, by the Associated Press.) BURGOS, Spain, September 30.— ‘The insurgent high command an- nounced today their Fascist armies had a stranglehold on Madrid, ring- g the government capital with a virtually completed band of steel. ‘With the encircling movement, basic feature of the Fascist tactics, drawing to its pincer-like close, the insurgent Junta declared the direct attack on Madrid would begin immediately. They predigted imminent fall of the capital and said a planned up- rising of the Rightist elements of the population of Madrid in the final hours of the drive would climax its capitulation. Madrid was pictured in wild confu- sion in announcements from Fascist general headquarters. Women and | children were reported being mobilized | for a last desperate defense. An-i archists, the reports asserted, were | getting the upper hand of the People's | Front Socialist government. 250-Mile Front. The insurgent infantry, supported by field and heavy artillery and com- bat aircraft, consolidated battle posi- tions on a 250-mile front, ringing the Spanish capital on a 40-mile radius. Still reported held by government forces and open to the Socialist ter- 40-mile sector from Guadalajara, slightly northeast of Madrid, to Aran- to the south. The junta named Gen. Francisco Franco commander in chief, with the title “chief of the Spanish Army,” his appointment as chief of all op- erations for the final push. Gen. Franco, in personal command on the southern front, with headquar- | ters in fallen Toledo, started two columns toward Madrid. | One drove on Tllescas, mid-point of | the Madrid-Toledo highway, with the double objective of starting the at- | tack on the gates of the capital and cutting off the large Socialist army | retreating slowly northward from To- | ledo. Rail Center Objective. The other column was advancing from Toledo northeast to Aranjuez. cut Madrid off completely from com- munication with the rest of Spain. Reports from all battle sectors on the Madrid front indicated that a general insurgent push was under way. Fascist troops in the Guadarrama | Mountains north of the city were | said to have started an intensive shelling of government positions. Redoubled insurgent activity was reported in the Avila sector, west of Madrid, with the main attack cen- tering on the Avila-La Canada high- road. CATALAN VICTORY REPORTED.

Villalba had taken an important, strategic point on the eastern front— the pass of Estrecho Quinto, in Monte Aragon, dominating the road to Hu- esca, a few miles to the west. The news cheered this anti-Fascist stronghold, which has beea somewhat depressed by the fall of Toledo. More enthusiastic government parti- sans predicted a pending mobilization order might put as many as 300,000 Catalonian troops in the fleld on the side of the Madrid government in & relatively short time.

Flather's selection was the result of & competitive examination held yes- terday in which representatives from each of the six high schools with cadet units were examined. Selected with Flather were Charles Davis, to be major and brigade ad- jutant, and Melvin Willlams, to be major and brigade quartermaster. Both are from Woodrow Wilson. Selection of the brigade staff from ‘Woodrow Wilson High School came as & surprise in the entire Cadet Corps, because last year was the first in which the school had a unit in the corps. In the competition held last Spring Woodrow Wilson's units com- peted as “rookie” companies and won that competition under Flather's com- mand. All of the officers at Wilson last year were students at Western High School loaned to Woodrow Wil- son because that school did not have a senior class. This year, however, Flather, Davis and Williams are bona fide students at Wilson, Selection of other cadet officers, in- cluding regimental and company com- manders and non-commissioned offi- cers probably will be announced by the first of next week.

When Mrs. Krieger and Frooks were arraigned in Police Court 10 days ago for preliminary hearing, the woman's bond was set at $5,000 and Frooks' at $2,500. The man secured his release, but Mrs. Krieger ‘was unable to arrange her bond until last evening, when she found it had been raised to $15,000. 4 ‘This morning, Thomas Ahearn, the | attorney appointed by the Police Court to represent her, moved to reduce the bond, claiming the increase was for the “obvious purpose” of preventing her release. He charged that $15,000 | was excessive, and that his client was being deprived of her constitutional right to reasonable bail. Asking that the bond be set at not less than $10,000, Robb pointed out that the woman had been indicted since the $5,000 figure was set, and that subsequent Investigation had shown her to be “a bird of passage. | flitting about the country with no fixed | abode,” who was likely to leave the Jurisdiction if released. ‘Without comment, Justice Gordon compromised the two demands. e BELL-ANS French factories are putting in new | FOR IN machinery to offset higher labor cost.
