Bridgeport, Oct. 9 (P—Taking the stand shortly after the trial of An- thony Andreon, 41, Greenwich con- tractor and World war veteran, who is charged with the slaying of his wife on July 25 last, was resumed in the criminal superior court today, Annabile Varese, 37, his brother-in- law, testified that Andreoh came to his house on February 22 last and threatened to kill his wife, Varese's wife and Varese himself. At this point State's Attorney W. H. Comley introduced a revolver and asked the witness.if he could identify it as the weapon Andreon brandished that night. He said, “It looks like it.” Varese testified that Andreon was a heavy drinker, that he was habit- ually drunk, and that he was on | “riendly terms with him, though | not so good because he always was drunk.” Medical Examiner John A. Clark of Greenwich resumed testimony that he started yesterday. He said Mrs. Andreon had been shot three times, any one of the wounds being enough to kill her. Mrs. Caroline Varese, sister of the slain woman and wife of Annabile Varese, followed her husband on the stand as a witness for the state just before the court declared a recess. The defense will put Andreon on the stand in the fight being waged to save him from the gallows. Attor- ney David Goldstein, his counsel, stated today. FIRST ZEPPELING BULT 06T, 5, 1906 Dirigibles Reach Twenty-Fourth Anniversary of Invention Triedrichshafen, Oct. 9 P—Today marks the twenty-fourth anniversary of the first successful flight of a zep- pelin_ which on October 9, 1906 took place’ from Manzell on the Lake of Constance in the presence of the king and queen of Wuerttemberg, representatives of the Imperial Air forces and numerous officers of the army and navy. After Count Zeppelin previously had made two unsuccessful attempts to fy those dirigibles which have since become a prototype for air- ships bearing his name, the per- severing old count built another air- ship. On October 8, 1906, he took off without a hitch and executed two trial flights that were the sensation of the hour. This first unqualified success of the rigid, lighter-than-air type of a dir- | igible led t& the ministry of finance appropriating a fund of 250,000 | marks for a zeppelin lottery from the proceeds of which in addition to a subsequent appropriation of 500,000 marks by the Reichstag the con- struction of a floating hangar for the airship was assured, the hangar to Temaln the property of the govern- ment for the exclusive use of Count Zeppelin, The dimensions of this pioneer of zeppelin flying was 128 meters long had a diameter of 11.7 meters, a capacity of 11,300 cubic meters and was equipped with but two diamler motors of 15 horsepower each. Ths present zeppelin is 235 meters long, has a diameter of 30.5 meters, a capacity of 105,000 cubic meters and is equipped with five motors of 510 horsepower each. LABORITES DEFEAT BROCKWAY'S PLAN Effort to Force Disarmament on Party Is Made Llandudno, Wales, Oct. 9 (#—An attempt of the independent labor party, led by Archibald Fenner Brockway, member from the east division of Leyton, to force upon the government a policy of immediate action for total disarmament was de- feated in the annual labor party con- ference here today. Brockway moved a resolution call- ing upon the government to embark upon a policy leading to total dis- armament within the shortest per- iod, irrespective of what other gov- ernments might do, and instructing the conference executives to prepare definite plans for organized resist- ance to war for submission to the next annual conference. Arthur Henderson, secretary for foreign affairs, took the floor against the Brockway motion, declaring that he preferred to stick to the party's policy of disarmament by interna- tional agreement, whereupon Brock- way’'s motion was voted down.

VOTERS T0 DECIDE PARTY’S DRY STAND Ritode Island Republicans Will Be Guided by Vote Providence, R. I, Oct. 9 (UP)— The stand of the republican party of Rhode Island on the prohibition question will be decided by voters of the state on election day. | In the platform adopted at their | convention in Infantry hall here | today, the republicans pledged them- | selves to abide by the decision of the | Rhode Island electorate on the pro- hibition referendum to be included in this year's ballot. The referendum, | authorized by the last general as- sembly, will read: “Shall the 13th | amendment be retained ?” Sentiment in Rhode Island is gen- | erally considered adverse to prohi- | bition. The state gave Alfred E.| Smith a plurality in the 1928 presi- | dential election. Rhode Island demo- | crats, at their convention several days ago, adopted a wringing wet prohibition plank, which declared | that the evils of prohibition were | fully as great as those of the saloon. | There were no contests today for places on the stafe ticket, those se- lected including: For United States senator—Sena- tor Jessc H. Metcalf, renominated. For governor—Governor Nnrmxni S. Case, renominated. For lieutenant governor—Lieuten- ant Governor J. G. Connolly, renom- inated. For attorney general — Attorney General Benjamin M. McLyman, who ‘succeeded Oscar L. Heltzen, retired. For general treasurer—George C. Clark, renominated. For secretary of state—Secretary | of State Ernest L. Sprague, re-| nominated. Opposing Senator Metcalf will be | the democratic senatorial mominee, former Senator Peter Gerry. Gov- ernor Case will be opposed by Theo- dore F. Green, democratic guberna- torial nominee, Reaffirm Dry Stand “We reaffirm our pledge of 1926 to support the federal constitution and the faithful and impartial exe- cution of all laws by which it is made effective,” the republican pro- | hibition plank declared. | “Under our republican form of | government the sovereign power is | lodged in the electorate, whose will, | expressed by the ballot, is exercised through their representatives elected for that purpose. “The republican general assembly | has given the voters of Rhode Is- | land an_opportunity to record their | views by a referendum whereby | each voter may express his or her opinion upon the subject of retention | o' the 1§th amendment. | “he republican party pledges it- | i* 0 abide by the decision of the | *ens of this state as expressed by | r vote on this referendum.” Another plank praised the present administration and complimented President Hoover for his “able lead- | ership of the republican party and | tulfillment of the pledges made at| the Kansas City convention.” Under the caption national wel- | fare, the platform with optimism | expressed the firm belief “that a | normal era of prosperity will soon be resumed.” Courage in Selves | 1t said that such a goal would be accomplished “by having courage in ourselves, by confidence in our gov- ernment, by cooperation with the heads of labor and with all who labor, to the end that the standard of wages may be maintained, with a firm reliance in the principle of pro- tective tariff laws and with aid and encouragement to President Hoover in his efforts toward keeping labor employed and secyring distribution ?r the products of Yarm and factor- es.” Caucus reform and consideration of effective means for doing away with lynching also were recommend- ed in the platform.

One was his screen debut, *“Old English” being his first picture, cither talking or silent. The other was an unexpected reunion with several British soldiers, who, like Kinnell, were with Allenby in Pal- cstine. The cast of “Old English” is al- most entirely English. Kinnell was born in London, and during the war was a member of the London Scot- ties. Practically the first person he met upon arriving at the Warner Bros. studios in Hollywood was a former aide de camp to his divis- ional officer, General a of the 60th Division in Palestine under Allenby. He next met Henry Mor- | rell, who plays Meller, servant to George Arliss in “Old English,” and who also was in Palestina dur- ing its famous conquering.
