DEBT HOLIDAY MAY BRING ON ARMS SLASH New Sense of World Unity Expected to Be Born of Moratorium. NAVAL PACT IMPORTANT Softening of World War Hatreds to Depend on Italy, France. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July B.—A new •ense of world unity, a quickened desire to reduce armaments, and a softening of Europe’s post-war hatreds are some of the benefits that administration officials expect from President Herbert Hoover’s war debt holiday. Whether these expectations can be realized will depend, It appears, on the amount of international Rood-will engenedered by European conferences this summer, notably that in London. To sell Europe the idea of disarming and adjusting its economic burdens more satisfactorily, the administration has two "salesmen" abroad—Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, and Andrew Mellon, secretary of treasury. Mellon’s task is almost completed The 76-year-old financier persuaded France to accept Hoover’s debt holiday program. Details still are to lie Settled at an experts’ meeting in which the United States will take J>art only if asked. Stimson’s work lies before him. He now is in Italy. From there he Will go to France, then to Germany, fend finally to Great Britain. His job is to sound out prospects for a genuine disarmament conference next February. In the view of officials here, the fnost formidable single obstacle to disarmament in Europe is the Franco-Italian naval dispute. Failure to solve it last winter was blamed on "technical misunderstandings.” But informed officials Say the real difficulty was political coolness. They believe the technical problems raised by France could be settled overnight. It is considered likely that while Stimson is in Rome and Paris he will see what can be done to bring France and Italy to terms. Mellon Takes Rest By United Press NICE, France, July B.—Secretary Andrew W. Mellon arrived at Villa Maryland on Cape Ferrat today from Paris, and admitted the possibility that Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson might come to see him there on his way northward from Italy. "If he comes to talk to me, it will not be of great importance,” Mellon said. "My work on the Hoover proposal is finished. I expect to remain a month, after which I will return to the United States. The only reason I am here is for my health and to see my family.” The secretary appeared extremely tired after his work in Paris, and was coughing considerably.

PROBE SLAYING IN MINE RIOTS Two Bound to Grand Jury in Strike Killing. By United Press PITTSBURGH, July B.—The second month of the soft coal strike in the Pennsylvania coal mining area, a district stretching over a seventy-mile front, found conditions little changed today as the law moved against disorder that has characterized the strike. Herbert Reel, a deputy sheriff, and Thomas Myerscough, a labor leader, were held for the grand jury today on manslaughter charges growing out of the death of Steve Ziaric, a miner killed in the riots at Wildwood June 22. Eleven others were wounded in this riot, which was broken up when Reel led officers into the group. A coroner’s verdict ordered the two men held for grand jury action. Myerscough is charged with inciting to riot, the allegation being that he led miners to riot and picket at the Butler Consolidated Coal Company in defiance of a court injunction. Ziaric is one of the three men who have been killed since the strike started a month ago.
ERRING HUSBAND IS FLAYED BY JUDGE
Family Wins Leniency for William Sterrith: Wife Says He Hit Her. Admitting he is "so busy doing nothing” he doesn’t have time to walk to a bus, William Sterritt, R. R. 7, Box 58-A, who spent his last 50 cents for gasoline, leaned on his wife and children for leniency from justice today. Mrs. Sterritt appeared in municipal court with her oldest daughter, 7, and a split lip to tell John Rochford, judge pro tern., how her husband had struck her, and to prosecute an assault and battery charge. Sterritt spoke first—and last. "I had picked some beans and was taking them to the grocer to sell when she tried to jerk the wires from my car,” he said. “I tried to pull down the hood and it hit her on the mouth.” Judge Doubts Story Rochford told Sterritt he hoped the defendant didn’t expect him to believe that and then Mrs. Sterritt poured out her tale of woe, which, by the way, the judge heard as the whole truth. "My husband worked a half day and then started on a vacation in Owen county,” she said. "He spent his earnings for gasoline. When he found out it cost a dime to take his daughter swimming he wouldn’t do it. "I gave him 25 cents and told them both to go and he threw it at me and started home. He said he would go swimming in Indianapolis alone and have a good time.” Lip Exhibit A She related how words brought on words and exhibited her lip as the result of the climax of the argument. Asked by the Judge how far he lived from a street car line, Sterritt replied "about a mile and a half” but admitted the bus line was near his home. "But you have to spend all your money on the car, don't you?” Rochford demanded. “You’re so busy doing nothing that you can’t even walk to a bus or street car?” Sterritt nodded in the affirmative to both questions. Rochford suspended a ninety-day sentence "because of your wife and children.” Sterritt was fined $1 and costs and ptfeced on probation for a year.

About 11 a. m. Mrs. Wiggins appeared at the county clerk's office and asked the price of her husband’s freedom. Told it was $95, Mrs. Wiggins greenbacked the amount and handed it over. "Now, how do I get him out ; of jail?” she asked. "Jail?” the clerk questioned. “Is Chuck in again?" "Is he?” she queried. "I’ll say he is. They took him out of the house at dawn.” a a a SHE took the release slip signed by the clerk, and Chuck, who had been chucked in, was chucked out. Chuck, as a result of the charge, had served a thirty-day sentence, but had the fine stayed. This morning when the deputies rapped on his door at 621 West Twentyninth street, Chuck declared he didn’t have to go to jail because a "police lieutenant had told me so.” After an hour’s argument, Chuck gave up when the deputies read a section of the commitment papers that said Chuck or his "body should be brought in, forthwith.” Death Driver Gives Bond By Times Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind., July B.

The shaving mug, Shapiro explained, had served his family for three generations, and had gone through the World war unscathed, only to be shattered to bits when his wife, Pola, aimed it at his head, but hit the wall instead. Shapiro was granted a divorce. A

JAIL CONSUL; U. S. APOLOGY SEEMSLIKELY Chicago Judge Says He’ll Insist on Sentence for Mexican. LAUNCH STATE PROBE Federal Government Asks Governor Emmerson to Explain. By United Press CHICAGO, July 8. —Judge Thomas Green said today that despite the danger of international complications he will insist*on a six months’ jail sentence for Adolfo Dominguez, acting Mexican consul in Chicago. • "Dominguez openly defied me by interrupting my court,” Judge Green said. “When I warned him, he dared me to put him in jail, so I did. No foreign official can dictate to my court. “It will take an order from President Hoover to persuade me to withdraw my citation of contempt.” Claim Sentence Unjust Friends and attorneys of the counsul, however, said that Dominguez had been sentenced unjustly. They obtained his freedom on a habeas corpus writ Tuesday night after he had spent only a few hours in jail. "Judge Brown never allowed the consul time to defend himself,” T. Russell Baker, attorney for Dominguez. "The judge began a tirade against the consul’s office and when Dominguez remonstrated, he was ordered thrown in jail.” Apology Is Likely Danger of complications in the case caused government officials in Washington, Mexico City, Chicago and the Illinois state Capitol at Springfield to confer. It was considered possible that the United States government may be asked to apologize for the incident. Dominguez was cited for contempt shortly after he appeared in Judge Green’s court to attend the trial of several Mexican youths charged with vagrancy and disorderly conduct. Report Is Requested By United Press WASHINGTON, July B.—State department officials said today they had not received a report requested of Governor Louis Emmerson of Illinois on the jailing of Adlfo Dominguez, acting Mexican consul at Chicago for contempt of court.

BY ROSS DOWNING United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, July B.—William Dugan has experienced something akin death—a nine hours dreamless sleep on boundless ether as he expresses it—and is alive to describe the sensations the mystery of which has intrigued mankind through the centuries. The 27-year-old engineer whose boat overturned near Laurel Springs, N. J., and who to all outward appearances was drowned, was resuscitated after nine hours by doctors who refused to believe he was dead.

Dugan was fishing and when he stood up in his canoe to light a cigaret, he slipped and fell. He struck his head on the'bottom of the canoe which overturned. "I felt myself going down, down, and down, and though I’ve been a swimmer ever since I was 4,1 was too stunned to make much of a struggle,” he said. “Then I felt my face and body immersed in the slime at the bottom of the water. Then all was black mud and I went .out just like you’d punch out an electric switch. a a a "T DON’T know another thing that happened until I had that sensation hours later that I was floating in the air, and that someone wanted me to do something, someone I couldn’t disappoint. “Then feeling terribly groggy, I opened my eyes after hearing again and again my mother’s call. There was such pleading in her voice I felt I had to come back.” Dugan was immersed in the muddy waters for more than five mintues before he was rescued. Physicians kept working on him, never giving up hope that he could be revived. They used every device available. Hypodermic injections were made in an effort to jolt the heart into action. A pulmotor was used to pump the mud and water out of his lungs, and his body was wrapped in blankets, lined with hot water bottles.

UTILITY BUSS DEFIES KANSAS STOCKS BAN Governor Is Dominated by Newspaper, Is Charge of Cities Service Head. ‘I’LL SHOW ’EM HOW’ ‘lt’s a Fight to the Finish,’ Is Roar of Henry L. Doherty. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1931. by United Press) RYE, N. Y., July B.—Henry L. Doherty, 61-year-old utilities magnate, wrapped his dressing gown 1 around his frail form, as he sat, drinking In the sunshine atop the Westchester Country Club, and ; banged the table with a vigorous ; fiSt. "They think I’m a sick man,” he said. “I’ll show them how sick I am. I’m in this fight to a finish, and when I get into a fight I never let go until it’s over and I’m on top.” His keen eyes flaslied, and a ruddy glow came to his cheeks as he explained his side of "this uproar out in Kansas.” in which his company, the Cities Service Company, Governor Harry Woodring of Kansas, and the Kansas City Star, hav® become involved. “Woodring is under the influence of the Star,” he said. "The Star has been fighting for lower gas rates. There is a commission, as in many states, whose duty it is to hold hearings on the justice of utility rates. Held No Hearings "They held no hearings. We never were given a chance to present our reasons for our rates. And then, acting under the influence of the Star, Woodring had his securities commission bar the sale of Cities Service securities. "See how ridiculous It is,” he chuckled. "On the one hand they say we’re ’making too much money, and on the other they say our securities aren’t safe for Kansas people to invest their money in. There’s something wrong in their logic there.” Again his clenched fist descended to the table with a bang. “The Kansas City Star is not the public utilities commission of Kansas. Certainly it has a right to suggest that lower rates would be in order, but there is an orderly process of law by which such a matter can be determined—and that is not by bludgeoning public officials into making unjust attacks on corporations.” Refers to Receivership Doherty referred indignantly to what he declared were the "openly made plans, about which they boast,” to throw his company Into a receivership. "Loose talk,” he said. "Why if they did that they would throw thousands of good people out of work, and God knows "imes are hard enough as it is. They’re just doing that as a threat, but I’m in the position of the man who's walking along minding his own business when a bully comes along and tries to push him off the sidewalk. And I’m simply not going to be pushed off the sidewalk by the Kansas City Star or anybody else.” Libel Suit Ready By United Press KANSAS CITY. Mo, July B.—Fred L.
