J., July 29.—Police arrested thirty-seven striking silk workers charged with disorderly conduct for creating a disturbance in front of the Rosen Silk Company mill today as members of the mayor's board of conciliation continued apparently futile attempts at mediation. Members of the mayor’s committee sought today to arrange a conference of representatives of strikers and mill owners to find grounds for arbitration. Strike leaders charged the mayor’s board was formed to “fool” the workers into going back to the mills at the old wage scale.

OGDEN ANSWERS DEFENSE STAND IN STEVE CASE / Files Reply of State on Habeas Corpus Writ in Upstate Court. Action of the Indiana supreme court on the writ of prohibition in the D. C. Stephenson habeas corpus case today awaits final filing of briefs by Clarence Darrow and other attorneys upholding the jurisdiction of La Porte superior courts. Lower court jurisdiction was attacked in the answer to defense briefs filed late Tuesday by Attor-nfey-General James M. Ogden. The Ogden reply brief, written by Joseph W. Hutchinson, deputy at-torney-general, cites court decisions to show that when a case is pending on appeal in the supreme court habeas corpus action can not be instituted in a lower court because the high court would then lose jurisdiction of the prisoner. A contrary view was advanced by Darrow and other defense counsel, upholding the jurisdiction of Judge Harry L. Crumpacker of the La Porte superior court. Defense briefs, to be filed by Aug. 6, will attack the Ogden position and the issues will be joined and the case ready for final decision. A temporary writ of prohibition has been issued by the high court and it will either be dissolved or made permanent. Predictions are rife that the Stephenson murder appeal may oe reversed in August and the habeas corpus action becomes moot.

GRAF ZEPPELIN . BELIEVED TO BE NEARING POLE Cruising Swiftly Over Arctic Wastes, Radio Contacts Indicate. By Unit'd Prcsa BERLIN, July 29. Driving through strong winds and with fog impending, the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin was proceeding toward the Kameness islands in the Arctic circle today, according to j the Leningrad correspondent of the Welt am Abend. The information was based on a radio report from the dirigible. Latest reports from Leningrad indicated that the Zeppelin had been encountering winds and, with fog impending, might be retreating toward the southeast oi Franz Joseph Land. Already there have been important geographic discoveries concerning the little-known areas within the polar sea, according to reports, and it is believed probable that simultaneously , with these map-making observations there have been no less important checkings on compass deviations, climatic conditions and other matters. One of these has to do with weather forecasting. Data gathered on the flight are expected to be of importance in improving present forecasting procedure. The planet Neptune takes just over 60,000 days to go around the sun, as compared with our 365. MOTION PICTURES~~ H “I TAKE I THIS WOMAK” V '■l' l<* .
