Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUR LEGISLATURE MAY SETTLF ARGUMENT Talmadge - Sutton Scrap Will Probably Be Arbi trated by Members ‘ CATLANTA, Ga~—(P)—The pos sibility that the legislature might be called upon to settle the pro longed feud between Governor _Bugene Talmadge and Dr. J. M. Sutton, former state veterinarian, wm_discussed in politieal circles ‘Saturday. s Sutton recently won the first round of a legal bout with G. C. Adams, commissioner of agricul ture, and although Talmadge and Adams have had their tifts in times past, the governor sent his law department into the fray, fighting for Adams. The supreme court held that the Stone Mountain superior court erred in dismissing Sutton’s peti tion, in which he sought to enjoin Adams and others from oustng him from his post as veterinarian. . The fact that the supreme court’s decision came only a few weeks ago, and that the litigation likaly will not be settled until « after Adams goes out of office . December 31 mfnde it almost a ‘cqt'tainty that Toin Linder would . inherit the dispute when he goes . into office succeeding Adams. * ‘Linder is former executive sec “ yetary to Talmadge and his long- . time political ally. . The supreme court’s decisiofi © dld not settle the dispute finally, bt had the effect of sending it , back to the trial court for gettle ment. The state law department + has asked the supreme court for a ".rehearing in the case. ‘ But the legislature likely will be __ in session before the trial court has an opportunity to hand down lt%(:leelsion. Some of those at the capitol say “thp’t with Talmadge expected to “be in control of the legislature, it * might be possible to legislate Sut “ton, out of office. Whether the leg ~islature would follow such a plan, “even though in sympathy with the “rest of the governor’s legislative ”'pmxra_m, is a matter of specula- Stion, Even if Sutton should be ,_,leglalated out of office, there is «still the question of his pay—-$4,200 s—for 1934. Sutton’s attorney, Rep _resentative Paul Lindsay of De- Kalb county, says Sutton’s term has not vet expired, and has a year “or more to run. ~ Commissioner Adams locked _Sutton out of his office early last ﬂﬂwu}r}', and their dispute has “heen/ in the courts since.

SENSATIONAL HAUPTMANN TRIAL STARTS WEDNESDAY (Continued from Page One) or dropped — to death, completed the roster of state witnesses. Miss Gow is not expected to pro vide any of the anticipated sen sations, her evidence having to do with corroboration of the crime itself, From the wvery first the nursemaid has been uncommuni cative. N Colonel Lindbergh and Mrs.. Lindbergh are almost certain 0 make brief appearances on th:2 witness stand, Perhaps the principal evidence the state will offer to link Haupt mann directly with the baby mur der will consist of the mute testi mony of inanimate objects. There will be, first of all, the banknotes which were paid as part of the $50,000 ransom and which were found in Hauptmann's possession. This ransom money, entiraly apart from the actual murder, is of such importance that even should the effort to conviet Haupt mann of homicide fail, the money would still bar any possibility of his early release from jail. The currency is the foundation ol charges of extortion which have been made ggainst Hauptmann in the Bronx, New York. Gold notes found at Hauptmann's Bronx home also could bring him to trial for hoarding. : \ The ransom money, however, s but part of the mute evidence the state has gathered. The rung of a ladder, nails, pencilled numerals upon a board, the signature on an application for' a driver's license, and the report of an expert in woods calculated to prove that wood used in the murder ladder and wood found in Hauptmann’s possession are identical—these are only a few of the blocks by whicn the state has built its case. iSeldom a1::1.«d has there been a murder c which has developed such an abundance of « ?!g“‘tgn tial evidshce a 6 this, The Haupt w&mml. however, ha v e been lacking in one vital phase: eMo Fakay Bt the ¥ ssa THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORUIA ‘SAITO DENDUNCES ML JGBEENENT WASHINGTON —(®#)— A diplo mat who was present at the birth of the Washinton treaty twelve years ago sounded its death knell Saturday by Pormally denouncing the naval limitation pact. y Hirosi Saito, Japanese ambassa dor, presented to Secretary of State Hull Japan’s notification of its intention to abrogate the treaty Dec. 31, 1936, the earliest possible date. . The ambassador made public an official statement outlining Ja pan’s position, expressing the hope that a substitute pact would he agreed upon, and emphasizing Ja pan’s willingness to cut its navy in half and abolish all battleships and airplane carriers if other sea powers reduced their fleets. Japan’s formal denundiation fol lowed unsuccessful talks in I')n don designed to smooth the way 401 the 1935 naval conference. Another naval treaty, the Lon don pact, automatically ends on December 31, 1936. Thus there will be no international agreement lim iting navies after that date un less -a new one is signed. The denunciation delivered to the state department as .custodian of the treaty came as an anti-cli max to more than a year’'s discus sion of naval affairs. Repeatedly Japanese spokesmen had forecast the decisive steps unless Great Britain and the United States agreed to scrap the 5-5-3 ratio and grant Japan equality in tonnage. Japan's action today was taken after it had built up to within one small ship of the total tonnage permitted it by the Washington treaty. 2 During the London talks Amer jcan and British spokesmen had expressed the fear that abrokation of the limitation trealies might lead to a naval armaments race. The official stand of this govern ment as expressed by a high au thority last week is a hope that a new treaty can be signed and a wish ‘that “big navy” ' talk be avoided. When the Japanese delegation in London let it be known that Japan would end the pact Norman H. Davis, American -spokesman, warned by the danger of “insec urity, international suspicion, and costly naval competition.” Some time ago Saito said there would be “no naval race, at least until 1942”, That is the year when the United States, now 78 ships under treaty strength, expects so have built up to the pact’s limit. Japan's attitude at London re sulted in strong diplomatic . sug gestions concerning future cooper ation hetween United States and Great Britain on naval affairs, Saito observed his government’'s notice on the United States be cause this country is custodian ot the pact. The state department must now fulfill its treaty-ordain ed duty by notifying Great Britain, France, and Italy, the other signa tories. " (eim " The treaty was signed at Wash ingtgn on February 6, 1922, and proclaimed by President Coolidge on August 21, 1923, Charles Evans Hughes, chief justice of the Supreme court; Eli hu Root; and the late senators Henry Cabot Lodge and Oscar WwW. Underwood negotiated the pact for the United States. Its main provisions are: . The five nations agreed to huild no capital ships battleships and other over 100,000 tons and carry ing larger than 8-inch, guns) ex cept to replace ships at least 20 years old and considered obsolete. Total capital ship replacement tonnage was limited to the 5-5-3 ratio: 525,000 tons for United States and Great Britain and 315,- 000 tons for Japan. France and Italy were each permitted 175,000 tons, Total tonnage of airplane, car riers limited to: United States and Great Britain, 135,000 each; Japan, $1,000; Tltaly and France, 60,000 each. Capital ships were limited to 35\ 000 tons and 16-inch guns and air plane carriers to 27,000 tons ‘and §- inch guns. The status quo in fortifications amd naval bases in the Pacific were be maintained except: United States: Adjacent to coast of United States, Alaska, Panama, and Hawaii. Great Britain: Adjacent to coast of Canida, New Zealand, and Aus tralia And its island territories. All five powers are to meet in conference within one year after Japan’s denunciation.

He was arrested December 27 at Mt. Shasta, Calif. N | The captive will be brought to Chicago and charged with the murder of Inspector’ Samuel P. Cowley, and Special Agent Her an E.

After the shooting, Mrs. Nelson, whose real name is Mrs. Helen Gillis, | was arrested in Chicago as one of those present at the battle. Following her capture an exten give search_was undertaken for a man known to have been present, resulting in the arrest of Chase. Nelson was an ossociate of the late John Dillinger and has bheen accused of*the killing of Special Agent W. Carter Baum at Spider Lake, Wis, on April 23. On that occasion Dillinger and his associates escaped from a Tre sort known as Little Bohemia Lodge. : S g In the course of the investiga-. tion of that incident looking to ward the capture of Dillinger and the Baby Face, the Department of Justice learned thta Chase was one of Nelson’s most intimate os sociates. & A department statement Satur day said: e | “It was determined that Gillis spent a considerable amount of ein the vicinity of Sausalito and San Francisco, Calif,, ~with Chase. and that they together with !one Rinaldo Negri had been eRs | gaged in running liguor in north ern California and western Nevada prior to the repeal of prohibition laWS. i ¥ “ ‘ “During the early months of 1934 Gillis is known to have been in the vicinity of San Krancisco, ‘and in contact with Chase, who later proceeded to St. Paul, where the again joined, Cz‘lill,i,s}.", *; The department stated that during the year the two partners Yin crime were in Chicago during ’the spring and that later Chase and ‘a girl friend went to New York city where they remained. until October when the girl \;ient‘ to San Francisco. ‘ “Chase hecame, associated with Gillis again,” the statement con tinued, “and on November 27, 1934, was positively jdentified as partic ipating in the gun battle near Barrvington, Ly which resulted in Pthe death of Gillis, Cowley and Hollis. “he division eof investigation !has been conducting a seargh for ‘Chase as. the murderer of Inspec tor Cowley and Special Agent ‘Hollig since that time. { «During the course of the in vestigation into the background of Chase it was learned that he at one time was employed at the California State.

Three people car\Lsit in per fect comfort in the De Luxe Coupe, all gear shifts being gracefully curved so that they do not inter fere with the comfort of the cen ter passenger, - Several Athenians did not wait for the 1935 models to reach Ath gns but placed their grders in ad vance and Mr. Trussell yesterday told a Banner-Herald reporter that additional ordens were re ceived during the first day’'s show ing. Commenting on the more tech nical features, of the new cars, Mr. Trussell said that three major engineering principlés combine to give the new V-8 what Ford en gineerg term the ‘‘center - poise” ride, These principles are: Correct spring :Urspension, in volving equality of front and rear gspring flexibility. Projer car weight balance and passenger weight distribution. Location of passengers close to the celgter of the car. “Utilization of these in combina tion, as practiced by Ford engi neers, achieves for the new Ford V-8 remarkable ia];rovement in riding c¢omfort without sacrifice of either safety or stability. Better Suspension In the new Ford V-8 car the well-known Ford transverse spring suspension has been newly ap plied. Both the front and rear springs are longer and more flex ible. The wider front spring is now mounted ahead of the frond axle, corresponding with the mounting of the rear spring back of the rear axle. This gives the car a “spring-base” of more thun 123 inches, compared with its wheelbase of 112 inches. Spring leaf ends are tapered, giving smoother action over rough roads and softening their motien over highways. As a further aid to im proved cushioning of the car, larger tires, with greater air ca pacity and added goad contact are used. The second pinciple utilized to provide the new ‘‘center-poise ride” is that of weight balance and distribution. By moving the engine, forward more than eight inches and by other changes in chassis design, the weight of the car without passengers is nearly equal on each wheel. Properly Balanced Moreover, there is no excess weight on either the front or rear wheels when any number of pas sengers is carried, thus avoiding “front-end heaviness,” so sbunned by builders of racing cars. This contributes to proper halancing of the car, so that sharp bounce. or jarring is eliminated. The third feature included in the complete meaning of ‘‘center poise ride”’ and one of major im portance is the location of the passengers in both front and rear seats closer to the center of the car. The rear seat is well forward of the rear axle. Thus the com fortable “front seat” ride is now available to those on the back seat as well. Several factors in the design of the mew car are responsible for {ts' road-ability and freedom from excegsive side sway. ‘The trans verse springs, cross-steering, low tial injury resulted to the party complaining of where the verdict is according to evidence. * _ The relationship of a juror, clear ly shown to have heen unknowr to the juror at the time of the trial be not allowed as a cause for a new trial. Creation of the department of identification was proposed to the conference. by Attorney General M. J. Yeomans. . Among those attending the cWh ference was Solicitor General Hen ry H. West, Athens, of the Western circuit. 2 Best Wishes for 1935 from ATLANTA’S MOST POPULAR PLACE TO EAT!
