Buckley, state treasurer, and John F. Eckhart, federal prohibition agent, during which the govern- ment charges Buckley negotiated for tips on raids to be conducted against Cincinnati breweries, it was testified in Buckley's trial here for conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws. Buckley's prosecution neared its conclusion today. Eckhart, acting assistant adminis- trator for Ohio testified with other agents that a device was set up twice during his conversation with Buckley following the treasurer's previous offer of an alleged bribe of $300 for advance information on raids. Testimony from notes taken dur- ing these conversations showed that they had to do chiefly with Buck- ley's efforts to secure Eckhart's permanent appointment as assistant administrator. A telephone conversation between Eckhart and John L. Schrimper, a confessed member of the conspiracy, also was taken down, but was not admitted as evidence. Schrimper. with Joseph Sperber, brewmaster for the Jackson Brewing Company of Cincinnati, have pleaded guilty to conspiracy indictments and await sentence at the conclusion of Buckley's trial. Defense counsel claim that the apparatus was used to entrap Buckley, and under cross-examina- tion forced Don Griffin, federal pro- hibition agent, to admit that Eck- hart first mentioned possibility of a rajd onthe Jackson Brewery during a conversation at the agent’s home. Governor Myers Y. Cooper Is un- der subpoena to appear in the trial. presumably to tell of a letter he received from Buckley uring Eck- hart's appointment as assistant ad- ministrator. CHLI'S DENTITY NOW DISCLOSED Filing of Mrs. Babe Ruth's Will Tells of “Danghter” New York, Jan. 30 (®—The true relationship of the “mystery child” to Babe Ruth’s late wife was estab- lished today in Mrs. Ruth’'s will. The document filed in surrogate's court left the bulk of a $50,000 es- tate to “my beloved charge and ward, Dorothy Helen Ruth, at one time known as Marie Harrington." Babe Ruth was cut off with a be- quest of five dollars. The same amount was left to Mrs. Ruth's mother and to each of her four brothers and three sisters At the time of Mrs. Ruth's death in a fire which destroyed the home of Dr. E. H. Kinder, dentist of Wa- tertown, Mass, January 11, con- fiicting reports were in circulation tegarding whether Dorothy was the oftspring of the ball player and his Wwife or a foster child. In the petition for probate filed by James J. Conlin, named as sole ex- ecutor of the estate, it was declared “‘on information and bellef the said Dorothy Helen Ruth is not an heir and next of kin of the decedent hereln, but she is referred to herein for the reason that she stood in the mutually acknowledged relation of child with the said decedent.” Not Revealed contest the will. REVOLT IN SPAIN QUICKLY QUELLED Speedy Courtmartial of Cor- spiring Offcers Expectad Madrid, Jan. 30.—(UM—Prepara- tions were underway today for the summary courtmartial of all officers L responsible for a short lived military revolt at Cludad Real, about 100 miles south of Madrid. At dawn to- |day the surrender of the mutineers was announced. The insurrection was ended after a |squadron of airplanes flew over the !city dropping proclamations promis- ing that only the leaders would be punished if the soldiers surrendered | before serious fighting occurred. | The proclamations said the planes would return with bombs if the sol- diers did not capitulate, Later Premier Primo De Rivera |appeared before the assembly and |announced that the revolt was at an end, and that tranquillity had been restored throughout the country. He attributed the prompt cessation of the disorders to the zeal of the local authorities, the vigilance of the po- lice, the solid discipline and patriot. ism of the military institutions and the saneness of the country. The revolt started when a regi- | ment of field artillery at Ciudad Real | rolled out their cannon so as to com- mand the roads and approaches to the walled city. When word of the |disorder reached the capital General |Orgaz started south with an in-: fantry brigade from Madrid. Several squadrons of cavalry clattered out of the ancient city of Alcala and large jand heavily armed force of civil | guards proceeded south in motor busen. During their control of the city the mutineers prevented all trains from entering or leaving, but order was |restored after the planes flew over | with thelr offers of peace, The re- volt, which was planned to break out |simultaneously throughout Spain, |also was reported to have shown it- |self at Valencia, Barcelona and JCorunnn, but without making any {headway, | After a bloody mutiny of the ar- tilery corps in September, 1936, the government reorganised the corps.

As the sun broke over the city the | regiment left its quarters under | command of its officers. Shortly aft- |erward Colonel Paz, commander of | the regiment, and Lieutenant Colone!

Boy Saved From Furnace by Firemen Hull, Mass., Jan. 30 UM—A two- year-old boy, Owen Murphy, fell furnace in his home yesterday rnd hung suspended two feet from the burning coals until firemen extricat- ed him. He is reported to be recovering rapidly from burns. Owen, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice T. Murphy of this town, lifted a grating and fell into the pipe while playing on the floor. He held on to a curve in the pipe just before reaching the furnace until his cries brought his mother, who stuck & broom handle within his reach. Firemen were called and tore the piping apart to reach the child. 98 WPHERSON PROBE Unknown Witness Promised in Check Ioquiry Los Angeles, Jan. 30 UP—An ele- ment of mystery appeared today in the legislative investigation of the payment of $2,600 by Aimee Semple McPherson to Judge Carlos 8. Hardy of the Los Angeles superior court after Asemblyman Walter J. Little, chairman of the committee, had dis- closed that he would produce & wit- ness who would testify that the Jurist received other sums of money from the Evangelist. Little made this disclosure yesterday while Mrs. McPherson was being further ques- tion about the $2,500 checks. He refused to reveal the name of the mysterious witness, in spite of de- mands by Judge Hardy's attorneys. “I do not intend to have this in- vestigation hampered,” sald Little in declining to name the witness, Mrs. McPherson denied, when questioned by Little, that she ever had paid bills in cath. . ‘ Judge Hardy appeared: before the investigators yestercay and told his stock of the check, which has caused his dismissal from mcmbership-in the American Bar association and which may result in impeachment charges being filed againat him. The jurist admitted receiving the cn~ck; admitted that he had taken an active part in an attempt to “find out the truth” abou the Evangelist's disappearance nearly three years ago, but said that in doing these things he had been careful to avoid violating judicial ethics. “J never considered that I gave Mra. McPherson and Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, her mother, any legal ad- vice or acted in any way as a law- yer.” he testifled. ‘The jurist adn.itted having failed to file an income tax return for 1926, ths year in which he received the “free will offering,” was exem pt.
