Other speak ers, representing both sides of the prohibition question, will give thelr views at the same hour on Wed nesday nights hetween now a;ndl the date of the peferendum, it is announced. g Mr. Reed declared he believes the state prohibition law is the next best to natiomal prohibition as a means of controlling the sale of whiskey. No one, he said, be lieves thatdwhiskey can be entirely eliminated by law, but one must have lived in the days of local op tion, or the open sale of whiskey, to realize fully that prohibition was a long step forward in man aging the whiskey traffic. “T hold it to be a self-evident fact”, Mr. Reed asserted, “that the more difficult it is made to get liquor, the more it costs to get it; the more one has to conceal his ef forts to get it, the less he is going to get”, : ‘ S M.

HAMILTON (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON . (P — “If a naval building race is started,” says the 73-year-old boss of Uncle Sam’s floating defenses. “it will be start ed by other nations, not by us.” This emphatic expression of Am erican intention not to start the thing which observers have feared might result if a new naval treaty is not reached to replace the one Japan has denounced effective December 31, 1936 comes from Sec retary Claude A. Swanson. Only yvesterday the secretary made what may interpreted as a double gesture of friendliness to ward Japan. He said American “naval craft” would pay a goodwill visit to Japanese ports in May. He also emphasized that the fleet maneuvers, which have drawn criticism, would be held in the north Pacific 2,000 miles away from any Japanese point. He made known, too, that offi cials of the American favy see little objection to Germany's pro posal for a 450,000.¢0n fleet. Swanson, a Virginian who traces his long interest in naval affairs to his Viking ancestry, says: “My chief satisfaction is over the assistance I have given toward the creaton of an adequate and treaty navy, and a building program that will reach this in 1942—if con gress appropriates the money.” Just what the navy would rec ommend if Japan or Great Britain began extensive mnavy building af ter the Wiashington and London treaties expire Swanson did not say. But he emphasized that the navy this year would not go beyond bes ginning construction of 24 addi tional vessels, first stage in the 72 authorized under the Vinson act.

Reilly’s dismissal as chief of coun cil for Bruno Hauptmann was in the mails today. Mrs. Anna Hauptmann, wife of the man condemned for the Lind bergh baby’s kidnap-killing, an nounced she had dispatched the letter of dismissal. She is cam paigning in the middlewest for funds to wage Hauptmann's appeal from the death sentence. As the successor to Reilly, veter an of 2,000 Metropolitan homicide cases, Mrs. Hauptmann designated C. Lloyd Fisher of Flemington, N. J., Mr. Reilly’s associate in the vain effort to free Hauptmann. Fisher and Reilly said they had received no word of the change. The New Yorker expressed sur; prise. It was Reilly’s bill for $25,000 which climaxed months of discord between counsel and defendant, Mrs., Hauptmann said. She called it “exorbitant” and premature. “That bill is for .13 weeks,” said Reilly, “and 1 think it is reason able.” Hauptmann had leaned toward Fisher for some time, but his wife had insisted Reilly was all right, she said just before she left on her tour. The prisoner expressed plea sure when she changed her mind vesterday, she added.

Hurd, 64, died early to day from bullet wounds inflicted by her 77-year-old husband, Her bert, who said he had been tor tured by his wife in an effort to make him disclose the hiding place of hidden wealth. Mrs. Hur ddied at General hos pital after an operation had been performed to remove four bullets from her body. In another ward of the hospital lay her husband, a railroad crossing watchman, crazed by knife and flame wounds, which he said had been inflicted by his wife “because spirits told her I had a hidden fortune I was giving to the woman next door.” Detectives gasped last night when Hurd, stripping off his clothing, disclosed the evidence of Mrs. Hurd’s alleged inquisition. His story, City Detectives Fred Greene and John Costello said, probably was true. Miss Nellie A. Hurd, adopted daughter of the Hurds, denied her step-father had been tortutred and insisted that he signed of his free will a “confession” of infidelity with a neighbor woman and of his giving her $15,000. The purported “confession,” found by police in the Hurd home,; was repudiated by the 77-year-old husband. He charged it had been obtained “while she was standing with a gun at my head.” ¢ “We've had trouble ever since we married 12 years ago,” Hurd said at police headquarters last night. “Then she got the idea that spirits had told her I was having relations with this other woman, and that I had given the woman $15,000. All I own is two little houses, “My wife was Kkilling me by inches,” he cried as he began re moving his clothes. “Sometimes she beat me all night. She chain ed me to the bed and I was too ill to fight back. She tied my feet with wire. Leok at this arm where she beat me with a strand of wire.” “Look there,” he continued, pointing at one leg. “She had a double-edged dagger and plunged it into the muscle by the shin bone every time I refused to sign that confession.” Near the shin bone of the right leg was a cluster of wounds near ly an inch deep.
