BRITISH BREAK ~ WITH MOSCOW AGAIN HINTED
‘Blue Book’ Soon Will Bare Part of Allied Talks With Russia.
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press Cable Editor
The British Government is about to issue a “blue book” revealing some of the secrets of the Allied negotiations with Russia for an alliance against German aggression. Britain's action at this time has caused speculation on ‘whether a break in relations with Russia might
not ensue. London reports that| the
documents to be published have been selected and edited so as not
to seem an affront which would | \
cause Russia to sever relations.
However, advance hints of their|
contents indicate that the “blue book” will tend to present Russia in a bad light, almost as a doublecrosser in joining up with Germany while the Allies were still negotiating. Aid to Finland Is Issue
One of the main points tao be emphasized, it was understood, was a statement that Russia demanded Baltic Sea bases infringing on the sovereignty of the small nations in that area, and a report from the British Ambassador at Moscow implying that the Russians might invade Poland. “ If Russia should break relations, the chances of a conflict with the Allies would be increased, with aid to Finland the underlying cause! Britain has reiterated her intention of giving Finland real aid jand Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain Tuesday told Parliament Britain's promise in no idle gesture. The question is whether the assistance will get to the point of aiding and abetting the dispatch of foreign “volunteers” in addition to war supplies. ‘An interesting report was circulated in London today that Britain is considering co-operating with Norway in getting Italian airplanes to Finland.
Sweden, Norway Watched
The Germans are understood to have blocked passage through the Reich of the Italian planes and the only “alternative route would be through Sweden and Norway. Both Sweden and Norway have shown their intention to aid Finland, although they realize the danger of being drawn into a war with both Russia and Germany. In the face of the threatening German attitude toward Swedish aid to Finland, there was almost a defiant note in King Gustav's address to the Swedish Parliament today, promising Finland all the help Sweden can give and warning the Swedish people that they will be called on to make sacrifices. New activity on the Western Front was reported today. French troops broke into German lines near Kreuzberg, east of Forbach, but were driven out by a German counter-attack yesterday, the official German news agency D. N. B. said.

BLOND SOUGHT HERE
NABBED AT ST. LOUIS
A woman wanted in Dayton for a
B| $5000 theft and who was arrested
on her arrival in St. Louis early today, boarded a train here after coming from Dayton by taxi, according to police. Indianapolis police were asked to look for the woman after they were notified by Dayton police that
the taxi driver had returned there and reported he brought her to the Union Depot. Ticket office clerks said that they sold a ticket to a woman answering her description for a stateroom on the westbound train leaving here at 10:58 o’clock last night. The woman was sought in the theft of a fur coat and jewels valued at $3500 and $1500 from the hotel room of Mrs. Rex Weber, wife of an actor appearing at Dayton.
BRIEF DOHERTY WILL LEAVES WIDOW ALL
NEW YORK, Jan. 11 (U. P.).— The entire estate of the late Henry L. Doherty, utilities| operator, estimated at many millions, was bequeathed today to his widow in a will notable for its brevity. The document of only 125 words, filed for probate in Surrogate’s Court, named only Mrs. Grace R. Doherty, whom he married 11 years ago after she had nursed him through a serious illness. There was no estimate of value, but in an accompanying affidavit the widow said the estate was “substantially in excess of $1,000,000.” Mr. Dohetry died in Philadelphia last week at the age of 69.
ZONING MEETING DEFERRED
The City Zoning Board today deferred. its meeting Monday until Jan. 22, for lack of a sufficient number of variance petitions. George Rooker, secretary, said he expected that requests for variance permits probably would be received in sufficient numbers by Jan. 22 to justify a meeting of the board:

A RR CR EX-PHONE OPERATOR GETS $1,250,000
| DETROIT, Jan. 11 (U. P.).—The story of Annie Laurie MacDonal Dodge reached the climax of it Horatio Algerian plot today. A year and a half ago she was a $15-a-week telephone operator. Today she assumed control of an estimated $1,250,000 estate after ruling by Wayne County Proba Court. : The award represented one-fourth of the estate of Daniel C. Dodge, her husband, who was killed accidentally during their honeymoon in August, 1938. . The remaining three-fourths rer verts to the motor heir’s mother, Mrs. Mathilda R. Wilson.

JEFFREY DECLARES MNUTT BOOM EBES
The Paul V. McNutt-for-Presi-dent boom is ‘definitely on the wane,” George R. Jeffrey, Republican gubernatorial aspirant, declared in an address last night before the Garfield Republican Club. He said he based this statement on a conversation with a nationallyknown Washington correspondent. Citing the “Two Per Cent Club” as one of the reasons which will prevent Mr. McNutt from receiving
‘the nomination, Mr. Jeffrey added:
“With the additional exposures of fraud by Democratic public officials, since the last election, and the indications of continued exposures of additional frauds, there is every redson to believe that the Republicans will win in Indiana this year.”
ROY GARDNER, TRAIN BANDIT, ENDS LIFE
-» SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11 (U.P.). —Roy Gardner, last of the train robbers, a 20th Century Jesse James, cashed in his chips with neatness and dispatch, with malice toward none and the hope of forgiveness in his heart. He planned and committed suicide last night as neatly as he had executed his bold banditries of the early 1920s. On his door was a “do not disturb” sign. On the bathroom door was another reading: “danger—poison gas.” He had sealed the door, dropped cyanide pellets into a glass of acid and departed this world in a wink— 56 years after he entered it.
