POLICE BATTLE REDS IN BERLIN VOTE OUTBREAK Three Are Known Dead After Siege of Terror in German Capital. BY FREDERICK KUH. United Pre** Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Aug. 10.—Heavy police patrcfls sought to maintain order today after a night of terror in which Communists and police battled during riots in the streets of the capital. The fighting broke out after returns In the plebiscite for dissolution of the Prussian diet showed the voters had rejected the extremist political parties’ demands for disbandment of the diet. Casualties remained uncertain, but it was known that two police officers and at least one demonstrator had been killed and fifteen others were in hospitals suffering from severe wounds. A statement by the Prussian government that twelve other Communists had heen killed was later corrected with an announcement that the number of casualties was uncertain. Raid Communist Meeting The Communist battle broke out In Buelow Platz, after a day of comparative calm during which voters went to the polls in Prussia and delivered an overwhelming defeat to the Fascist, Communist and Rationalist parties on the diet dissolution plebiscite. Trouble started when police raided a Communist meeting near Buelow Platz in the evening and Communists fired on them from darkened houses. The rioting rapidly developed into organized street fighting. The police replied to the Com-mv-nltt rifle fire. The battle at first wtT.. gainst them Reinforcements were rushed to the battle area; barrages v/ere laid down around houses whence Communist fire had come. The shooting began at 8:30 p. m. It continued sporadically until after midnight with occasional bursts of furious fighting, police reserves gradually gained control of the situation and the district became quiet before morning. Red Snipers Fire A reward of 3,000 marks (about $750) was offered by Police Chief Graszinski for apprehension of the men who killed the two police captains. Police in trucks, supported by armored cars, rumbled through the streets. They fired frequently into windows or at objects on roofs where Communist snipers had been hidden. The street in front of the communist headquarters was crowded with police, many armed with rifles. The police raid on a communist meeting in a music hall near Buelow Platz started the disorders. About 1,000 Communists were forced to raise their hands above their he3ds and march to police headquarters, where they were searched for arms. A minor fist fight started and was rapidly followed by an outbreak of gunfire.

Rages for Hours The streets cleared in an instant. People hysterically dashed for shelter. Communists dashed into houses around the Buelow Platz, which they barricaded and opened fire on the police. The battle raged for hours unchecked. Revolvers and rifles were used by both sides. The Communists carried their wounded away as rapidly as possible. Final returns in the unsuccessful plebiscite for dissolution of the Prussian diet were: In favor of dissolution, 9,793,328; against, 362.885. The number of votes required to force dissolution was 13,449,500. The comparatively small number of j voters oposing dissolution was ex- j plained by the fact that the major- : ity of those against it simply did not j vote rather than trouble to go to the polls. Their boycott was just as es- j fective as a vote. PARK REUNIONS DRAW MANY OVER WEEK-END Lodges, Comities, Families Gather j for Picnics.

LINDBERGHS AWAIT BETTER WEATHER; ‘DINE’ OUT OF CANS Flier and Wife Eat Unbuttered Bread When Supply Boat Fails to Arrive; Enjoy Point Barrow Visit. By United Press POINT BARROW, Alaska, Aug. 10.—Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh ate bread without butter and food out of cans as they rested today at the northernmost tip of America, awaiting clear weather to continue their 7,000-mile vacation flight to the Orient. Declaring they liked the settlement and were not irked by the delay, the Lindberghs attended church Sunday, visited about among the villagers, and, admittedly, got a little bit homesick when they saw a white baby who reminded them of their own Charles Jr. Their low-winged, oontoon-equipped monoplane, in perfect condition and with sufficient fuel in its tanks for the next leg of their flight, rode easily on a nearby river. i

Although the United States coast guard cutter Northland had failed to reach the point with a supply of gasoline as planned, Lindbergh said he had enough fuel for the 523mile flight to Nome. The Northland was storm and fog bound near Icy Capes, 150 miles down the rugged coast line. Failure of the ship to arrive was the explanation given by the fliers’ hosts for the lack of butter and fresh foods, as well as gasoline. Lindbergh said that on the flight to Nome he might land in the sea at the side of the Northland and pick up a supply of gasoline before going on to Nome, but that if the sea was choppy he would not attempt it. Although the air was quite chilly here and clouds frequently blotted out the Arctic sun, which at this season provides light almost twen-ty-four hours a day, the weather was not as bad as reported at Nome. Wearing heavy coats, with collars pulled up around their heads, the famous spent considerable time outside. As during their visit in Atlavik, they were met everywhere with a solemn sort of adulation from the natives, and they enjoyed it.

Hemorrhoids How to End Painful Piles Without Salves or Cutting. Piles are caused by bad circulation of the blood in the affected parts. The parts become weak, flabby, almost dead. Only an internal remedy can remove the cause —that’s why salves and suppositories fail. Dr. Leonhard’s prescription, HEM-ROID, succeeds because it removes congestion, restores circulation, heals and strengthens the diseased parts. HEM-ROID has such a wonderful record of quickly ending even piles of long standing, that Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores say one bottle of HEM-ROID Tablets must end your pile agony or money back.—Advertisement.

GIRL RETRACTS MURDERSTORY Blamed Suitor for Chum’s Death to End Grilling. By United Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 10.—Glenda King, who was with Louis Palmer on the night of July 20 when he was slain, was arrested early today after she had repudiated a statement made late Sunday night naming Floyd Spears, a rejected suitor, as the killer. ”He didn't have anything to do with it,” the girl sobbed. ”1 just told them that story to get away from the questions they had pounded at me for almost a day and a night. Sheriff Robert H. Jackson who arrested Miss King Saturday and held her for nine hours of questioning, immediately ordered her rearrested. “My original story’ was true.’’ the girl cried, ‘t ome one I never saw before, a short heavyset man in overalls, came up to the car were we were parked in Prospect Lake Park and killed Louis and attacked me. “I couldn’t stand the questioning any longer, I had to tell something.' Spears already had been arrested and had denied implication in the crime. He was held, however, pending the eventual unravelling of the girl’s story, despite his statement, and that of the Colorado Springs police, that he had an “iron-clad alibi.”
