" BATTLE RAGES FOR CONTROL OF KABUL ‘manullah's Forces Put Alghan Gapital Under Siege London, Jan. 31 UM—Advices from Russia today described Amanullah’s efforts to regaln the throne of Af- ghanistan as involving a battle for control of Kabul, the capital. His followers were sdid by the Afghan minister in Moscow to have surrounded Kabul, They were planning to drive from the throne Habibullah Khan, who forced Amanullal's brother to abdi- cate. The minister expressed confi- dence that Amanullah soon would be back in control. Another tribal leader was report- ed in a dispatch from Peshawar, India, to have jolned in the fighting. He was Malik Ghaausedin, head of the Ghilzal tribes in an expedition against royal troops. His followers claimed he had supreme power in Knost province. 8ir Austin Chamberlain, British foreign secretary. speaking in the house of commons, said Amanullah had fermerly announced his abdica- tion to the " British government. Consequently until it was clear that, in spite of his abhdication, Amanul- lah wae regarded as their king by the people of Afghanistan, the Brit. ish government would be unable to regard Amanullah’s government as the rightful government of Afghan- stan. 8ir Austen added that Great Brit. ain had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Afghanis- tan, by supporting or assisting any of the parties at present contending for power there. N The foreign secretary read a mes- #age from the German ambassador expressing warm thanks for the res- cue of German women and children from Babul by British airplanes “under the most difficult eircum. stances,” he said he understood the press bureau of the foreign office in Derlin had communicated with the German press in regard to this mes- sage. He thought it regrettable that the German press had paid so little attention to the incident. AINEES ATTORNEY FORCIBLY EJECTED Lawyer Thrown Out for Re- peated Violent Objections Los Angeles, Jan. 31 (PM—The sequel to Aimee Semple McPher. son’s famous story about being kid- naped—the conspiracy case which was brought against her and drop- ped—was dragged out of the past today by the legislative committee investigating the Evangelist's pay- ment of $2,500 to Judge Carlos 8. Hardy of the Los Angeles criminal court. 4 Until yesterday the committee which 18 seeking to determine whether Judge Hardy shall face im- peachment charges for accepting the money, had touched only a few angles incidental to the kidnaping story and the conspiracy case, Near the close of yesterday's ses- sion, however, testimony of two newspapermen brought inte the in- quisitorial arena the occurrences of two years or more ago when Mrs. McPherson's case was dropped. In the midst of an argument as to the admissibility of testimony given by Walter Marek, a reporter, the chairman of the committee Wal- ter J. Little, announced: “We believe that any facts which we may be able to uncover on the dismissal of charges in the McPher- ron case will prove valuable to the citisans of Los _Angeles county and to the state.” Lawyer is Removed It was during the heated argu. ment regarding Marek's testimony that Cromweil Ormsey, one of Mrs McPherson’s attorneys, was forcibly ejected from the committee room after his violent and repeated oh jection to the line of testimony which dealt _with conversation Marck had a few months ago with Mrs, Minnie Kennedy, mother of the Evangelist, with whom she now is at odds. Mrs. Kennedy, former business manager of the Temple, split with her daughter about a year ago fol- lowing a disagreement and now is believed to be living in Seattle. L oFy “Mrs. Kennedy said,” Marek tes- tified, “that Mrs. McPherson had told her of a plan to have the con- spiracy case dismissed, and the day it was dismissed. She also told me that Mrs,. McPherson brought her } newspaper with the -announcemen of the dismisssl, and said: ‘Mother T'm aitting on the top of the world.' “Mrs, Kennedy sald that in view of the previous attitude of the men Mra. McPherson named as her ad- visers, that she (Mra. Kennedy) was fearful of what might happen. 8he said that she mentioned these fears and that Mrs. McPherson told her that hitherto the ¢ase had been a neyspaper trial, but that she had wofl these three men over to her side. Mrs Kennedy =aid that :ll this time Mrs. McPherson seemed very worried and nervous.” Aimee Looks On Mrs. PcPherson, clad in a beige ensemble, was an interested spec- tator. “Mrs. Kennedy told me,” con- tinued Marek, “that the defense of the case had cost $100,000. 8he did not mention any specific items but 'sald that when she and Mrs. Me- Pherson settled their financial af- fairs, she charged this amount against Mrs. McPherson.” Marek said the only mention of Judge Hardy's services to the Temple which Mrs. Kennedy made was to describe him as their *first contact and friend in Los Angeles." William Parker, another ncwspa- perman testified as to several inter. views he had with Mrs. Kennedy, concerning the $2,5600 check. It was in an interview granted by Mrs, Kennedy that the giving of $2,500 to Judge Harding first was made public. MOTHERS DEFEND " THO-HISTED KIDS Gapture Championship of. Boys’ Club Basketball Circnit Evansion, I, Jan. 31 (A — Whether a child needs more Mozart or marbles, more Haydn or more hide-'n-seek, divided the 200 moth- ers of the central council of Evans- ton achool clubs today. “Suggest,” suggested Mrs. Oliver Aspegren, president, at yesterday's meeting, “that the children have orchestras and give concerts after school hours.” It was an innocent enough re. mark, but it precipitated a debate the end of which is not yet. Mrs. Ferdinand Johnson got the floor. “This everlasting culture busi- ness,” she sald, *“already is over- burdening our children. Radio con- certs, orchestra concerts, children's theaters, classicsl dancing—culture this and culture that. The place for a child after achool is out playing— and I don’t mean playing in an or- chestra, either.” Battle Starts ‘The battle was on. One group of mothers held that culture was graud, and that even too much of it wouldn't be half enough. This group looked upon marbles, pompon pullaway and follow-the-leader as hangovers from an era when chil- dren didp't know any better. ‘The other group held that Brahms, Beethoven and Bach, while undoubtedly gentlemen of genius and all that sort of thing, could' not hope to compete for a place in the children's heart against leap frog, tag and tug-o’-war. Vim, vigor and vitality was the motto of this fac- tion, * The mothers finally decided a committee should investigate and re- port on what their children should do after school is out. The children being the ones who must eventually suffer, or otherwise, are in a quan- dary. 8ome of them are having their skates sharpened; others are rosin- ing their bows, contemplatively. For every inch of stature a man should weight three pounds and § oufices. Clear g 'x;sfl Y wg A Great Team!?
