March 2.—With five war ships loaded with rebels steaming under pursuit for the Island of Crete today. Premier P. Tsaldaris telegraph ed a direct appeal to former Premiei Eleutherios Venizelos on that island to keep clear of the revolutionaries. • It was the first time the name o! the powerful opponent of the present regime had been brought into the current revolt against the government There had been rumors in Athens that the rebels, fleeing under gunfire, had intended to pick up Venizelos at Crete and proceed to Macedonia. Tsaldaris wired to Venizelos his hope that the Liberal leader "will not sympathize with the crazy attempt ol a few officers." "The government." messaged the premier, "intends to do all possible to that end." To Court-martial Officers. Other government forces expressed the hope that Greek forces on the Island of Crete would remain loyal. Steps were taken meanwhile to push plans for court-martialing those offi cers already caught. Government aircraft and destroyers bent on quenching the last remnant5 of the sudden revolution were pursu ing the war vessels en route to Crete manned by rebels. Government aircraft located the rebel warships at midday near thi Isle of Milo. in the Aegean Sea, some 70 miles east of the extreme south ernmost point of Greece. They directed a rain of bombs upon the vessels, with unknown effect, and other planes left the mainland tc join them After the recapture of Salamis Arsenal from rebel forces, the Citj of Athens returned to normal life despite martial law aimed at sup pression of a revolutionary movement blamed by the government on sup porters of Gen. Nicholas Plastiras, dictator for a. day during a revolt in 1933. The pursuit of the fleeing warships was accompanied by artillery fire and aerial bombings which partially crip pled the cruiser Averoff, one of the craft manned by rebels. Ordered to Open Fire. Seven bombing planes from Atoi and four government destroyers formed the pursuit forces, while fort resses on the Island of Crete were ordered to open fire on the rebels. The fleeing craft were attempting tc defend themselves. Some of the air craft which flew in pursuit of the rebel vessels returned showing signs of being well peppered with shot. Two former admirals in the Greek Navy, Demestichas and Kollialexi, were reported in command of the rebel craft. They formerly had high rec ords in the naval service, but were ex pelled from the navy on charges oi having taken part in previous anti government plots. There were many arrests in Athens among the cohorts of Venizelos. who Is a political foe of the present regime. Former Prime Minister Papanas tasiou, labor party leader, was stopped while leaving for Saloniki and held at his home in Athens. Martial Law Persists. Martial law persisted, with all com munications held in abeyance through out Athens. Widespread arrests were made among alleged followers of Venizelos and the Venizelist news papers were closed. Former Gen. Papoulas, whose demo cratic defense organization, a Veni Eelist body, was allegedly implicated in the revolt, was reported to have vanished. The minister of war, Gen. George Kondylis, said there were few govern ment casualties on land and that about 10 revolutionists had been killed. Rebels Occupy Arsenal. The Dlot. which broke into the onen with startling suddenness and amidst carnival revelry at 6 p.m. yesterday, was discovered when the rebels were found to be occupying the Salamis arsenal. A crack regiment in the Athens outskirts and also soldiers in a military school were partially con verted to the revolt. The rebels were forced to abandon their position under a two-houi cannon fire.

Man Who Outruns Jackrabbits Sues For $995 for 'Ride' Neighbors Say It Was All a Prank to Test Texan's Β ranging. By the Associated Press. DALLAS. Tex., March 2 —A "kid naping." a toy pistol and a story somewhat derogatory to the reputa tion of Texas jackrabbits for speed figured today in Mervel (Jackrabbit) Moore's damage suit against three neighbors. Moore's Allégations are that Leon and Sam Bradenburg and Jack Hood overtook him on a'Toad, represented themselves as well-known outlaws and kidnaped him. Although he was released and his captors disclosed their identities, Moore alleges the in cident made him nervous end be lieves that $995 will square things. The defendants said the "ride" was a prank to test the value of Moore's ι alleged bragging, and that the weapon I used was β toy pistol "borrowed" from ι a baby. I One of his tallest stories, they testified, was that when he hunted rabbits "he would run up alongside one of the animals and feel it, and I if it wasn't good ,and fat. would let it go and start legging for another ι one." j The jury, which amused itself by ! j snapping the trigger of the toy pistol, ι ! will take the case today. AUTO LABORBOARD TARGET FOR A. F. L I Call for Strike Vote Grows Out of Discontent With Recent Balloting. ; By the Associated Press. ι L/C; ι ινυι χ , iviaicii <&.—π coiuvui I i Roosevelt's Automobile Labor Board i found itself the target of American : , Federation of Labor dissatisfaction again today as the A. F. of L. pur- ί sued its efforts to unionize the indus try where the open shop has been in vogue for 25 years. I Created last March 25 as a means ι of averting a threatening strike in ί the industry, the board approached its first anniversary with the A. F. ! of L. arranging a "secret" strike vote j ! among its 176 auto worker locals. Dillon Explains Action. The A. F. of L. action, announced Friday, was explained by Francis J. Dillon. A. F. of L. organizer, as an outgrowth of the Federation's dis satisfaction with the Automobile Labor Board's method of conducting collective bargaining elections. These elections have shown that the A. F. | ; of L. represents a minority of the | workers. With 89.273 of the industry's 200,000 ί workers thus far canvassed, the I board reported that only 3.926 record- ' ed A. F. of L. affiliations while 66.821 others indicated they were unaffiliated I with any labor union. j Dillon intimated that the strike vote would be a test of the federation's strength. It will not necessarily mean the actual calling of a strike as only the national officers of the. Federation have this power. That the A. F. of L. is actively pur suing its attempts to unionize the in dustry was indicated by William Green, president of the federation, in a ipeech in Detroit February 23. "Until 18 months ago automobile men showed no desire to organize be cause of seasonal and other condi tions, Green said. "We organized metal polishers and some of the crafts, but never general automobile. Now we are trying to bring all classes of labor into our ranks." Henderson Survey Hit.

March 2.—So icitor Roland Pruett, investigating the mysterious death of Mrs. H. Bradley Davidson. jr., pretty 22-year-old aeiress of Ε. M. Statler. said this norning he had developed information ipparently at variance with testimo lies at the inquest hearing. Among other things.

Pruett said today, however, that he was reliably informed rigor mortis had started to set in when servants first discovered the young woman. Also, he said, instead of be ing in the driver's seat of the car, the t>ody was in a kneeling position on the running board, the head lying across her arms on the floor boards. Pruett said one of the principal angles to be followed between now and Tuesday, when an inquest is to be re sumed, would involve tne original nna ing of physicians that the young woman, wife of a 41-year-old Wash ington. D. C„ man. died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Pruett said in vestigation revealed that the. doors of I the three-car garage had considerable clearance at the bottom, providing ι ventilation which caused doubt suffi- j icent gas would have collected from I the automobile motor to cause death. I He said he and Dr. C. C.

"It is a peculiar situation." said Pruett. "for a woman to go for an sarly morning ride with only mules, a skirt and a sweater on. Butler Missed Car. "Other facta include one that the butler got up at 7:30. looked in front of the home for the car and discovered that it was in the garage. He made no investigation imme- I diately. but went to the garage to wash the car and found the body. The body was still warm at the time— 9:05 a m." The coroner's inquest was in recess until Tuesday, when the young wom an's husband, and guests and servants; at the home will be asked to testify, J Included are Mr. and Mrs. Curtis : Campaigne of New York, the David- ! son's house guests. i Available evidence showed, the in vestigating authorities said, that the Davidsons and the Campaignes at tended a charity ball the previous night and arrived home in the small hours of the morning. Absence Not Noticed. Davidson, member of a prominent Washington family, said he and his wife occupied separate rooms and that her absence was not noted until the butler found her slumped under the wheel of her car in the garage. A preliminary examination showed Mrs. Davidson's death was caused by ^,uu" m»"»·™' The finding, however, of about a j dozen minute bruises on the young woman's thighs caused Dr. Carpenter to make further analysis. The results of these will be put before the coro ner's jury next week. Dr. Carpenter had no comment to make on any pos sible significance attached to the bruises.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The attitude of the United States end Great Britain in case the Japa nese loan to Nanking materializes was explored yesterday by Acting Sec retary of State Phillips and the Brit ish Ambassador. Sir Ronald Lindsay. It has been known for several months that the Japanese government has been dickering with Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek to "buy off China" with a substantial loan. As a result of the silver policy of the United States, the economic and financial crisis in China has become even more severe than in the past. Sze Discussed Matter. Sao-Ke Alfred Sze. the Chinese Minister at Washington, has repeat edly discussed the matter, informally, with the State Department, but was informed that it was impossible for this country to change its silver pol icy to alleviate the crisis in China, where silver is being purchased in large quantities for export to the United States. The Japanese government has been watching the situation carelully and approached the Chinese government last Fall with a proposition to grant Nanking a sufficiently substantial loan to help China out of its present pre dicament. Furthermore, in view of increasing communistic activities, the Nanking government needed outside help which the Japanese are willing to grant. The conversations between Nanking and Tokio appear to have reached a satisfactory conclusion, and according to reports from the Far East the Nanking government is now willing to sign on the dotted line. International Angle in Aid. Such financial and "moral" assist ance has an important international angle. To begin with, it appears that one of the conditions imposed by the Japanese government is that all the foreign officials and advisers at pres ent employed by the Chinese gov ernment in various capacities will have to be given notice and replaced by Japanese officiais. In order to ward off any possibility of Japan obtaining a further strong hold in China by "peaceful penetra tion." the British government sound ed out the American Government yes terday in view of a common action. In accordance with the nine-power pact of 1922 and the China consor tium agreement signed in 1920, none of the signatories can take advantage of the conditions in China to seek ~ (Continued on Page 2.

DAYTONA BEACH SPEEDWAY, Fla„ March 2—Sir Malcolm Camp bell failed to hit 200 miles an hour on his south run down the beach today as he resumed his efforts to break his own 272.108-mile an hour automobile speed record. His time I through the measured mile was 118. 186 miles an hour. After over an hour's delay, he started Bluebird on its way shortly after noon. Got away to a swift start, but was bumping as he shot through the middle measured mile, half way between the end of the 11'--mile course. His time for that mile was 19.13 seconds as compared with the 12 seconds flat he hopes for eventu ally. and a speed of 300 miles an hour I Mechanics checked the car. turned ! it around, and prepared for a return run north up the beach. Orders Bluebird Out. Sir Malcolm decided beach condi tions were ripe for a test run and or dered the Bluebird taken to the beach The crowds gathered on the sands and the beach was given Its final in spection as the sun came out brightly and burned off the haze. "Pop" Myers president of the In dianapolis Speedway Corp., and ref eree of thi speed trials returned from a drive along the beach and said the sand was in condition for speeds up : to 275 miles an hour, almost 3 above I Campbell's present record "It's definitely bad. but I must have I this test run," said Campbell, where j upon every one who knows him hitched up their belts, tightened the speed instruments and got ready tc see nim shoot for his 300-mile goal The beach looked firm and hard There were no bumps that appeared of any consequence along the course Full Stretch of Beach. Bluebird, with the mechanics fuss ing about her, stood far down the north end oi the beach, 200 feet above an amusement pier, under which Campbell must pass through a 42-fool opening as he heads down the entire length of the strand. The position for the start indicated the seriousness of today's trial. II gave him the longest stretch he ha; ^ver sought to run here, the full 11' j miles available. The car was pointed fnr thp r»ipr nnpnintr at or» onolp Rr as to cut down as much as possible the right turn he must make after clearing the pier. Campbell informed the timers that he might make only one run, south, and his return would depend entirely on beach conditions and his speed one way. He gets credit for a record try only by making one run each way within an hour. The seconds it takes him to cover the fastest mile each way are added together, divided by two and translated into miles an hour to determine his speed. Campbell Pessimistic. Campbell was quite pessimistic as he pulled on his white driver's suit. "The beach is definitely not as good as yesterday," he said. "I wish now that I had gone then." The mechanics took almost 45 min utes to change the wheels and tires on which Bluebird was rolled down from the garage. So careful is Campbell that he changes tires even after such short use. The big oil wagon was slow laying the stripe and wandered casually down the stretch at 20 miles an hour as the mechanics finished their chores. Lady Campbell and 11-year-old Jean Campbell came down to the tim ers' stand to watch the trial from * box there. Kaye Don, British driver, also waited at the timers' stand, end of the middle measured mile, tor Campbell to go tag^ __ Τ HOLMES' VITALITY WARDS OFF DEATH Former Secretary An nounces Condition of Ex Justice Is Encouraging. BULLETIN. Former Justice Holmes was ex amined by his physician early this afternoon and found to have taken a slight turn for the worse in his battle against bronchial I pneumonia. However, Mark Howe, his former secretary, said there was no immediate cause for alarm. Oliver Wendell Holmes, retiree justice of the Supreme Court, con tinued to amaze his physicians ant friends today by his recuperativi powers in the face of a critical at tack of bronchial pneumonia witl which he was stricken a week ago. Despite hit advanced age—he wil I be 94 next Friday—the learned forme 1 jurist is fighting, almost light-heart ! edly. to ward off the grave attacl which has laid him low in his modes brick residence at 1720 I street. "Very encouraging" was the wa; his condition was described thi morning by Mark Howe, a forme: secretary, who is staying close t< his friend, counselor and former em ployer. Irrepressible as ever, the white haired, white-mustached legal au thority discounted the seriousness ο his condition with a characterise observation: "It's a lot of damn· foolery." He referred, undoubtedly, to thi precautionary steps that have beei taken by his physicians to combat thi ! disease which is threatening to bes him, such us the installation of oxygei apparatus, the constant attention ο : nurses and the consultations held witl I his personal physician. Dr. Thomas A j Claytor. by other medical experts. Three tanks of oxygen already hav been administered to him, with the aii 1 of a "tent." Dr. Claytor yesterday called int 1 consultation Dr. Lewis C. Ecker ο this city and Dr. W. T. Longcope ο the Johns Hopkins Lniversity Medica School, Baltimore. Among those keeping vigil in thi house are Edward Holmes, nephev and closest relative of Mr. Holmes I and his wife, who came here iron Boston several days ago. There were additional callers toda; ! to inquire as to the progress beinf ; made by the sick man on the secon< floor. Chief Justice Hughes visited Holmes residence this forenoon and remaine< inside for some time. It was the firs time the Chief Justice had made ι personal call, although he has kep in close touch with the home by tele ] phone. On emerging Chief Justice Hughe commented that Holmes was dem onstrating "extraordinary vitality. The patient has been able to tak light nourishment and his spirit re mains high, it was said. In fact, h was represented as joking with th nurses who are in attendance. Senator Robert M. La Follette. Wis consin Progressive, called briefly a the house today, but did not see th former justice.

By the Associated Press. I HARTFORD, Wis.. March 2—An accident victim threatened with the loss of a leg was cheered today by his doctors' prediction that he would be able to walk without a limp in two months through his successful reaction to modern surgical methods. Conrad Margraf. 28, came in con tact with an automatic saw that almost severed one leg above the knee while cutting ice on February 12. Although the leg bone was cut through, Dr. P. W.

Rep resentative Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois, today joined Representatives : Schulte, Democrat, of Indiana, and I Werner, Democrat, of South Dakota, j in demanding the recall to the wit - ness stand of United States Attorney J Leslie C.

Criticizes Delay. "Such procedure as that," he de clared, "constitutes a miscarriage of justice. Laws cannot properly be en forced if criminals know in advance they can get long continuances with the hope that the witnesses will die or move to another jurisdiction. I personally can see no reason for post poning a case—eight, nine or ten ' j months." i In the meantime, the Department ' of Justice assured the Crime Com i mittee it "has not the remotest idea" •1 ot interfering with the crime investiga tion. This assurance was given to • Chairman Randolph by William Stan ; ley. assistant to the Attorney General, following a disclosure that efforts were being made by the department to change the course of the inquiry. , After publication of the stories | j about the department's interest in the ι ; inquiry due to developments in con- | nection with Garnett's office, hurried ; j conferences were held among the ' officials and a statement issued to the press. It read: "TTie Department of Justice has not interfered and has not the re motest idea of interfering with any line of investigation the committee ' ι see fit to undertake." Stanley Sees Randolph. That statement was designed to re lieve the department of blame for the efforts of some officials who had called on members of the Crime Com mittee and suggested that the investi gation be shifted away from Garnett's office. About the time the statement was issued Stanley hastened to the Cap itol for a conference with Chairman Kandolph. He also issued a state ment, which read: "The Department of Justice through an assistant to the Attorney General, late this afternoon assured me that it would co-operate to the utmost in the investigation now under way." With that assurance, Randolph is expected to yield to the pressure being exerted for the recall of Garnett. The hearings will be resumed Mon day at 1:30 p.m. Present plans are to question Inspector William G. Stoti about Police Trial Board cases in the last two years. Stott is chairman of the board. i I · .j Nevada Indorses Relief Program. 11 CARSON CITY.

I 62-Year-Old Mother Who Killed Imbecile Son Freed in England Br the Associated Press. MANCHESTER, England, March 2. —Freed from jail and from the noose by an act of mercy, rare In British annals, Mrs. May Brownhill, 62-year old woman who was condemned to die for the "mercy murder" of her imbecile son. returned to her home in Burnbridge today. The frail mother, who put her εοη Denis "to sleep" forever with seda tives after nursing him for 30 years, was led from the doors of Strangeways Prison to an automobile which carried her, pale with eagerness, to her hus band and sister. Her release was by order of the home secretary, whose prerogative It is not only to grant reprieve from death sentences, but also to decide if prison terms shall be served. Mrs. Brownhill, who is frail, spent most of her time in a hospital ward vhile in prison and soon must undergo « serious internal operation. The honfe office thus has given full i e«t affect to the recommendation of the jury for mercy when the death ; sentence was passed. She was sen- 1 tenced to be hanged on December 1 The judge ignored the recommenda- 1 tion for mercy, but it was indorsed 1 by sympathetic persons from all over 1 the British Isles. \ The frail Leeds woman had testi fied she gave her son Denis 100 seda- 1 tive tablets and gas because she feared an operation she faced might be fatal and deprive the helpless son of her attention. The case was one of the rare in stances where reprieve is followed by a release. Likewise there is no receir. parallel of the rapid sequence of events in Mrs. Brownhill's case. She was sentenced to death one day and two days later the home office inter vened. Guards encircled her Burnbridge home today to protect her from pry ing eyes. The fragile woman leaned excitedly forward as her car dr jw up to the door of her home and waved a greeting to her husband and sister who were standing there, before scur rying within, 4 SENATE CONTINUES WHITE HOUSE WAR ON WORK-RELIEF Resentment Grows Over Effort to Blame Upper Body for Delay. ROOSEVELT HIT FOR BALKING COMMITTEE Wagner Sees Successful Compro mise Providing Administration Gives In a Little. After a do-nothing week, peace be tween President Roosevelt and the Senate over the $4,880,000,000 work relief bill is still not in sight. Resentment is rising in the Senate because of efforts of the administra tion to make it appear the delay in the passage of the relief bill was the fault of the upper house. Supporters of the McCarran prevailing wage amendment, so strongly resisted by the President, pointed out today the bill could be brought out and passed without the slightest doubt if the White House would say the word. It is more than a week sinca the work-relief bill was referred bare to the Senate Appropriations Committee —after the administration had been defeated in the vote on the McCarran amendment. During that time, the committee has held no meeting to consider the bill further. The word has been passed there will be no meet ing until the White House has the situation well in hand and feels it can pass a satisfactory bill through Raps White House Control. "Here is a strange situation. It 'ems to me." Senator McCarran. lemocrat. of Nevada, said today. "A jmmittee of the Senate must await ord from the White House before can hold a meeting. When we Dted to recommit the bill, on motion f Senator Robinson of Arkansas, it as with the undertaking that the Dmmittee would hold a meeting and onsider this work relief bill without elay. Had we understood other ise the supporters of the prevailing age amendment would not have been 3 ready to have the bill recomitted." Senator Dickinson of Iowa. Repub can member of the Appropriations lommittee, described the plight of he committee as "ridiculous." "I never heard before that a Sen te committee had to wait the nod f the President before it could even lold a meeting," he said. "The real delay of the relief bill es right on the White House door tep," he continued. •'The President ent to Congress an impossible $5. 00,000.000 measure and he continues ο insist on its passage." Stands bv Prevailing Wage. Senator McCarran said he was anx dus to get action on the relief bill nd that he hoped further conference ,'ould be held today. He is entirely inwilling to yield the principle of the ircvailing wage._he said.
