North Palestine, last Sunday. The military courts are func-i tioning under a decree providing tlie death penalty for possession of firearms, sabotage, intimidation j and terrorism. The decree established virtual ; martial law in Palestine which has witnessed a wave of violence since publication of the British commission's report recommending partitioning of the holy land into Sep-1 arate Arab and Jewish states with | an intervening British-controlled I corridor. When the military courts were established it was indicated that : only cases in which culprits caught I red-handed would be carried before , them. It was considered virtually impossible to find prosecution witnesses in Palestine because of the i fear of reprisals. SJjeik. Sadi was ars »we<i of Street ing a campaign of murder against members of. prominent Arab families moderate in politics or who refused to donate funds to further terrorist activities. A large detachment of soldiers i ; and police headed by district com-1 missioner William Fotte of Nablus. . accompanied by two armored cars and two airplanes, surrounded the I village of Mazar, near Nablus, and demanded that the local chieftain surrender the sheik. They threatened to destroy the entire village. The sheik and three followers surrendered. A search revealed a large cache of rifles, revolvers, hand grenades and ammunition. Authorities believed that the i sheik was responsible for the slay-1 ing two weeks ago of Rabi Abbou-1 shi. a prominent Arab who lived I near Jenin, in northern Palestine. o Schaefer Funeral Services Monday Funeral services for George ■ Schaefer, who died Wednesday at | his home in Morgantown, W.

MISSING PLANE IS FOUND SAFE Airliner, Missing In Fog 18 Hours’ Reports Passengers Safe Sioux Lookout. Ont., Nov. 27.— <U.R> — Eleven persons aboard a Starratt Airlines plane, forced down in the wilderness of northi western Ontario by Aense fog, to day awaited clear weather before resuming their journey. Missing for 48 hours, pilot Ken j Smith reported the plane safe on Dog Hole Bay, midway on its route between Pickle Lake and Sioux Lookout. The fog, which also forced down search planes, was expected to make return of the plane impossible for 20 hours, airway officials said. They said the plane carried sufficient rations to enable its occupants to live for days in the wilderness. • Smith's message, which gave only his position and inquired of weather conditions, indicated he intended to continue his journey last night. However. Len Fraser. . one of the search pilots, advised him to remain down until weather conditions improvedAirway officials assumed from Smith's message that he had landed the ski-equipped plane in the dense fog and that all the passengers and crew were safe. Smith did not give his position earlier, they believed, because of radio equipment trouble. The ship left Pickle Lake at 4 p. m. Wednesday enroute here The 135-mile flight ordinarily requires one hour. As Fraser turned back late yesterday from his second attempt to penetrate the fog Smith radioed to Hudson, Ont., and reported his ' ship safe. Aboard the plane were Smith, Keith Gregson, mechanic, R. Martin. George Ross, George Hoffman land George Hunkley. all of Winnipeg; W. Fuller, J. H. Jurl. R. K. 1 Connor and F. Downey, all of Sioux Lookout, and another unidentified passenger.

NOTED CIRCUS AGENT IS DEAD Dexter Fellows, Famous Ballyhoo Man, Dies In Mississippi Hattiesburg, Miss., Nov. 27 — I (UP) —Dexter Fellows, 66, Dean of circus ballyhoo men, who followed :the "big top” around the country for more than 40 years, died in an I oxygen tent last night after a long ' Illness. Dr. Grady Cook announced that I death was due to 'bronchial ,pneumonia after an attack of typhoid fever six weeks ago. Mrs. Fellows was at the bedside in South Mississippi Infirmary when the end came I at 9:30 P. M. Fellows, who made the United States “circus conscious" as the ! advance agent of Ringling Broth- • [ers. Barnum and Bailey, became ill . iin Oklahoma while en route to the j circus winter quarters at Sarasota, Fla., He and Mrs. Fe'lows continued - on to New Orleans, then to Hattlsburg where it became necessary for > him to enter the hospital. Although arrangements have not been completed, interment probably will be in New Britain, Conn., the family home. The Fellows had no children. Besides Mrs. Fellows, the survivors are several nieces and nepliews. Death ended a caeer that began when Fellows was 23, a small town youth with an urge to publicize the activities of broncho busters, beaded ladies, sword swallower*, and trapeze artists. He began as press agent for the Pawnee bill at S2O a week, and a year later joined the Buffalo Bill wild west show. E'even years later he signed up with the Ringling Brothers, lemained with them a year and then became Barnum and Bailey’s ace ballyhoo man. When the two circuses combined, Fellows kept hie job, and for the rest of his life he introduced himself as "Dexter W. Fellows of the circus." if asked what circus, l he would rep’y: ! “If you were in London, ringing 'God Save the King/ would you j think it was necessary to stop and j x,plain what King?” Fellows probably knew more 1 ! newspapermen than any press agent in the country, and he had a i 'prodigious memory. Whenever he' visited a newspaper office to “sell" ;a yarn, 'he greeted editors and re prorters by their first names and asked about their wives and childi ren. Nattily dressed, with his moustache waxed to a high polish. Fel- ■ lows rarely failed to get his ballyhoo printed, although many editors vowed again and again that their columns would not be opened to pub'icity about what the sea elephants ate for lunch or how romance j blossomed h e, ween the fire eater and the bearded lady. 1 "Braggadocio barred, brother,” (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) Only Slight Damage Results From Fire The local fire department made a run at 8:30 o’clock this morning to the W.

JUDGE TO GIVE BANGS’ RULING Huntington Mayor’s Impeachment Appeal Under Advisement Marion, Ind.. Nov. 27. —(U.R) t'irtcult Judge O. I). Clawson today took under advisement the itn- | peachinent appeal of Mayor Clare W. H. Bangs. Huntington's militant | “utility-baiting" mayor. Attorneys for Bangs and for the Huntington city council which impeached the mayor for his conduct of the municipal power plant and , his two-year tight with the North- ; ern Indiana Power company, con- | eluded closing arguments late yesterday. In announcing he would rule next week on Bangs' appeal of the impeachment verdict, Judge Clawson observed that if "court orders are to be flouted there will be nothing but chaos and anarchy in this country." The court said it “could not understand why” Bangs had not stopped all activities at the power plant when the original restraining order was issued 10 days after Bangs took offic e and then appealed to the appellate court “unless he thought a lot of things could be done that couldn’t be done." When Bangs was running for mayor he pledged himself to install a municipal light plant in Huntington and his efforts led him into repeated court battles, all losing ones. The Huntington city council impeached him when it upheld 14 out of 19 misconduct charges charges brought by citizens. Bangs ; appealed to the courts and the case | was brought here on a change of I venue.

. “MOVING HILL” COLLAPSES AT ' LOS ANGELES Apparently None Injured As Los Angeles Hill Collapses 1 Los Angeles, Nov. 27 — (U.R) — I The "moving hill" of Elysian Park collapsed today with the force and noise of an earthquake, •I to the delight ol spectators who stayed up all night to watch the thrilUng scene. Despite all the perils of the ava- , lanche and the night's bedlam that It created throughout the city, apparently nobody was hurt and ':the damage was confined to a buckled and buried stretch of highway and a bridge approach. The liill was two blocks long and 400 feet high before It began to sway and sink a month ago with spasmodic jerks from some ; mysterious subterranean disturb- ' ance. Last night, in a, prelude to i its big unheaval. the hill began ' shedding great boulders large as i automobiles, which crashed down across Riverside Drive and threatened to destroy a dozen small houses and slopes between the hill and the Los Angeles river valley I down which the debris fell. Then, at 9:15 p. tn., one huge ! section of the hill came tumbling ! down. Workers and residents scurried for their lives. Sirens j shrieked. Police and ambulances came from all directions, a power line snapped and the whole area was plunged in darkness Spectators tugged at the police lines a block from the path of danger and wild rumors were afloat of men buried alive. It was a night such 'jas this city of the famed movie colony had not seen in years. The anti-climax came early to- ; day when most of the remainder toppled down in another great ' roar. Police again fought with '. the crowd to restrain it from rushI I ing headlong into disaster. Engineers estimated that 1,500.000 tons of dirt, boulders and uprooted ' trees came down in the first slide, ' and nearly that much in the secj mid. A sheer cliff. 150 feet high. I marked the spot whete the "bites” 1 had fallen away. Labor League Backing Black-Connory Measure Indianapolis, Nov. 27 — (U.R) —• A state-wide campaign to secure passage of the Black-Connory wages-hours bill in the house of representatives has been launched by the Indiana branch of labor's non-partisan league, according to an announcement from the league's headquarters here today.

"Only by the immediate guarani tee of decent minimum wages and maximum hours can' American business secure the necessary increase of purchasing power to restore prosperity,” declared Joseph 11. Friend, executive secretary of the Indiana league. o Prominent Frankfort Industrialist Dies Frankfort, Ind., Nov. 27—(U.R) - M. N.

Youth Is Held For Slaying His Father Lawrenceville, 111., Nov. 27.—(U.R) —Police today held 14-year-old Marion Arthur Hensley in the county jail after he allegedly killed his father, Steven, 77, with a lump ofl coal because he made a ’‘crack’* about the way a neighbor girl was singing “Old Black Joe.” Marion, his father, his mother and 18-year-old sister Myrtle, were at the dinner table when the elder Hensley remarked about the vocal calisthenics of their neighbor. It infuriated the youth and an argument followed.
