PLEADS GUILTY IN CIRCUIT i COURT to CHARGE OF INTOXICATION

IS HELD IN COUNTY JAIL

Effort To I! Made To Admit Bainbridge Man To Veteran’s Hoe. pital At Marion.

Ben Harris, 46 years old, of Bainbridge, was held in the county jail i h riday following his arrest late j Thursday on charges of public intoxi-1 ea’ion and a-sault and battery file: by William T. Berry. It was said an | effort will be made to commit Harris ' to the U. S- Veteran’s hospital at i Marion for treatment.

Harris pleaded guilty in circuit court Friday morning to the charge of intoxication hut sai l he didn't know any hing about the assault and battery charge and could not enter a plea. Judge Wilbur S. Itonm'r ordered him returned to the county jail. The first affidavit alleges that Harris appeared on the streets of! Btainhiidgc Thursday in a state of in- j toxication, while the assault charge i alleges he struck Robert Berry, 8 I years old, on the same date. Walter F. Frank, town marshal of j Bainbridge, aid that Harris appar- \ ently was a peaceful citizen until he | had two or three drinks under his J belt which tumed him into a danger-, ous churnc’er. He said he did not feel ' it was safe to allow Harris to return ;

to Bainbridge.

An effort was made more than a ' year ago to confine Harris to a hospital for mental treatment but a sanity commission found him sane. He then was admitted to the Marion hospital but was discharged after treatment. Still later he was arrested on an assault charge but sentence was withheld. His conduct since the latter offense apparently has been good until the outbreak Thursday.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3 (UP) -Four hundred commis.-ion liou-e employes struck today at the Union Stockyards, bringing to a on : a walkout that has baited activities of the world’s largest livestock i aiket for II days. Police reserves were hurriiedly posted throughout the maze of cattle pens and chutes in fear that hundreds of Union picket may clash with

strikebreakers. ’

Commissien firms reiterate i their determination, announced yesterday to resume tra ing despite the strike. The walkout came on the heels of an announcement that Gen. Hugh Johnson, NBA administrator, would meet today w.'h conciliators and the disputing parties. Johnson at first declined to "get mixe 1 up in” the controversy, but 1 iter heeded th< pleas of meditator ind principals.

BERLIN, Aug. 3 (UP)—Adolf Hitler, a commoner-kaiser, with tlej army and nation behind him, led Germany in mourning Tt President Paul Hindenhurg today and prt p red for a grim economic fight tuai may decide his political fight. On the pages of Germany's Ions history there was written in ie& of brief decrees and declauatkns lIu« story of Hindcnburg's death and Hitler’s coincident rise to absolute dominance under the self selected title of “Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor '"— king, president, prime minister and dictator in one. Hitler, showing sign.-', of genuin* grief, hix ied himself yith preparation of two funeral orations, one to be delivered at Reichstag services here Monday for the “Old One,” tho "thcr be delivered at Tannenberg on Tin rt i when Hindcnburg’s body will be laid it rest under the generals’ to I* it of i e great Tannenberg memsirial, i monument to the field mapJ il' -'" .'it' t military triumph.

' Germany faces an economic crisis of major importance. Hitler is supreme. It is IliUer or chaos. But in the gray fall and winter months he and h > Nazi . must guide tho country through suffering and pri-

On his suciu -v dep nds his future, To aid him, Hitler named Hjalmar Schacht, president of thn Reichsbank, one of the world' foremost bankers, his minister of economics for a six months period. It was signifie mt hat he did this on the day of Hindenburg’s death, that Hindenhurg'., list official act, last Sunday, was to name isthacht to his new post. It was significant aiso that Schacht is a hard-boiled, oH-school financier, her him no new deals, but economy arid last ditch uppi rt of currency. Si hacht’s appointment seemed to proclaim Germany's economic policy. Almost as certain wis the indication that its foreign policy is one of
