Lancaster, British flier on trial on a charge of murder in the fatal shooting of Haden Clarke had threatened to ‘ get rid of him ’ some time before Clarke s death was given Thursday as the state closed its second day of testimony. J. F. Russell, former associate of the British flier in Latin American Airways, proposed air transport company, described Lancaster’s threat against Clarke. Lancaster displayed a burst of temper, after reading a portion of a letter from Mrs. Russell to her husband recounting the state of a love affair between Clarke and Mrs. Keith-Miller, Australian aviatrix, Clarke’s fiancee and Lancaster’s flying partner. “ ‘Do you think Haden Clarke is double-crossing me?’ ” Russell quoted Lancaster as saying. “I replied, ‘The letter speaks for Itself, doesn’t it?” “ ‘Do you think it’s too late? I’ll get rid of him,’ ” Russell said the flier shouted.

JUDGE PAYS FOR CALL, SO FINE CAN BE PAID Bodner Hands Nickic to Defendant, Who Hasn't a Penny. Sebastine Metz, 55, of 511 North New Jersey street, was in a predicament today when he was fined $lO on a charge of drunkenness and had no money. Sol C. Bodner, special municipal judge, when apprised of the case, suggested that Metz have a friend bring the money to the courtroom. Metz was in favor of going home after the money, but Bodner vetoed the suggestion. ‘‘You'll have to telephone,” the judge ruled. “But I haven’t got a cent,” combined Metz. Bodner considered a moment, thrust his hand into his pocket, and tossed Metz a nickel for the court’s pay telephone. GOVERNOR RACE TIGHT Rivals in Neck and Neck Battle in Tennessee Voting.

Thousands to Make New Invasion of Capital, Says Leader. Reloading their automobile ana hospital trailer, four residents of the west coast left Indianapolis this afternoon for the east—the first contingent of anew bonus army which will march on Washington in the next few weeks. Stopping here after a jaunt from Kansas City, Dr. H. W. Huntington, Hollywood, Cal., and his wife, a nurse and their two companions told the secrets of another march on Washington. This time, they hope, they will be able to withstand the long, tiresome siege and prevent outbreaks similar to that of the last bonus army which clashed with troops. “We are the leaders of the new army.” Dr. Huntington said. “In all sections ol the west coast and middle west today, tthe new army is assembling. California, alonee, expects to put 10,000 men into the field in Washington. “When we went through Kansas, there were 600 there awaiting to move on. Hundreds now are on their way along a southern route.” Dr. Huntington's story contrasts with the pictures of scores of bonus marchers, bedraggled and disgusted, who have passed through Indianapolis recently, homeward bound. The trailer, now a hospital unit, was being used by the foursome in a sightseeing trip through the west. At Hollywood, they were converted into the bonus army plan and were sent ahead to blaze anew trail, Dr. Huntington said. Wednesday the group was fed at the city soup kitchen and encamped at the city tourist camp on White river. “Mississippi Sage” Is 111. By United Press YAZOO CITY, Miss., Aug. 5.

Briton Denies Debt War on U. S.

BY WEBB MILLER European News Manager. United Press lOoovrieht. 1932. bv United Press* LONDON, Aug. 5—A “co-opera-tive agreement” on war debts satisfactory both to the United father. Fred C. Laßoyteaux, Columbus, 0., who petitioned on grounds that he “has legal custody of the child.” When divorced from his wife Ella, July 14, 1931, the petition stated. Laßoyteaux was given custody of the boy. Last month, the wife persuaded the father to take the boy to her home, 908 Bosart avenue, “for a few days.” The father alleges she failed to return the boy.

States and Europe is envisaged by Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald, the United Press was informed on unimpeachable authority today. The guiding principles in MacDonalds mind concerning future war debt negotiations were revealed after the premier's return from Lossiemouth, Scotland, where he rested. He returned to London greatly benefited in mind and body. The prime minister's ideas were outlined as follows: As far as Britain is concerned, nothing will be done in the nature of an ultimatum to the United States or a united front against the United States. Whatever is done should be a solution satisfactory and equita-

ble to the United States and to the Lausanne negotiations. The solution should be in the nature of a “co-operative agreement” satisfactory mutually to the United States and Europe. The method of opening negotiations has not been decided, but in any event, nothing will be done until after the American elections. Well informed persons stressed the “co-operative agreement” phrase and .the fact that Britain will not participate in any united front. Premier Edouard Herriot of assured the United States that it need have no fear of a united European bloc against the United States.
