Hitler Seen Giving Personal
Aid to Move to Get Rid
of League.
BACKGROUND—
At the Versailles Peace Confer
ence Poland demanded an outlet to
the sea for commercial shipping.
The leaders there feared placing an
essentially German people under
another nation’s sovereignty and
created the Polish corridor, termi
nating at the port of Danzig. The
city was placed under the super
vision of the League of Nations.
In the IS intervening years Danzig
has been a danger spot in Europe,
its German population seeking a
return to the Reich, a desire quick
ened by the resurgent nationalism
of Hitler.

FREE CITY OF DANZIG. June 27.
—Nazi sponsors in Germany were re
ported today to have prepared a dec
laration of independence designed to
end League of Nations supervision
over this free area.
Informed circles said negotiations
between Germany and Poland fore
shadowed an effort to “get rid of the
League" with Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hit
ler aiding the move personally.
The declaration, from Albert For
ster, youth Danzig Nazi leader, was
to be issued here today and published
throughout Germany at the same
time.
“The League and its high commis
sioner in Danzig have nothing more
to do with settling differences in Dan
zig and Poland and their existence on
the whole has become superfluous,”
Forster's statement declared.
League Official Snubbed.
In addition, an incident involving
officers of the German cruiser Leipzig
and Sean Lester, the League commis
sioner, added to well-circulated re
ports of “important impending
events.”
The cruiser’s officers, making official
Calls on authorities as the vessel lay
in the harbor, omitted a visit to Lester,
an act which some sources declared
was inspired by der fuehrer. Forster’s
declaration, it was said, was an ex
planation of the official Nazi attitude.
The primary reason for the League
protectorate over the city, Forster
asserted, has disappeared since Ger
many and Poland settled amicably
their dispute over the necessity for
a Polish seaport.
“The high commissioner seizes
every occasion to block the efforts

"He therefore does not contribute
to the pacification of Danzig. As the
Bitler movement without tlie high
commissioner came to a quiet under

internal peace without the high com

Some sources declared the time

chosen deliberately, since the League
is at present engrossed in the Italo

REPORTS DENIED
Gossips Say “Beware June
28,” Hinting Return
Of Otto.
Bv the Associated Press.
VIENNA. June 27.—Both mon
archist and government officials scoff
ed today at reports from Paris that
a political putsch was imminent in
| Austria.
However, for weeks, gossip-bearers
have been saying "beware of June
28.” the day before Sts. Peter and
Paul day which rumor has fixed as
an appropriate occasion for the re
turn of the Catholic Archduke Otto.
Gathering headway for an ob
scure monarchist movement in Yugo
slavia was reported at Belgrade.
Farmers in the former kingdom of
Montenegro seek the enthronement
of Prince Michael.
Another reason for interest in the
affairs of Central Europe is the fact
that tomorrow is the seventeenth an
niversary of the signing of the Treaty
of Versailles, ending the World War.
While gossip of an Austrian putsch
circulated in Europe, anti-semltic agi
tation was heard in Rumania.
From Bucharest came the report
that the Fascist "Iron Guard" organ
ization was threatening "a gloomy
Sunday for Jews."
As a precaution, Rumanian authori
ties brought an additional infantry
regiment into the capital from a
provincial garrison.
SEARCH FOR SLAYER
OF WOMAN IS ENDED
Painter. Now Dead of Alcoholism,
Reported Killer of Mrs.
McConnell.
By tbe Associated Press.
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., June 27 —
The hunt for the slayer of attractive
Mrs. Eula Mae McConnell, mother of
twin baby girls, ended yesterday at
the grave of a delirium tremens
victim.
Sheriff Frank Burns earned James
Jonas. 53-year-old painter who died
in a delirium produced by alcohol, as
the killer of the 23-year-old house
wife.
Mrs. McConnell died May 1, a day
after she was savagely beaten in her
apartment in a fashionable residential
section.
The sheriff said the crazed Jonas
died strapped to a hospital cot a week
after the crime.
The solution resulted largely from
statements of two women acquaint
ances of Jonas, Burns said.
One of them. Mrs. Bertha Clayton,
said the painter confessed the crime
to her and said he was "going to hell”
for it, but that she had kept the
secret through fear.
The other, Mrs. C. L. Rose, told of
seeing Jonas near the McConnell
home the afternoon of the attack,
fcut at the time attributed his nervous j
condition to drunkenness.
As Jonas lay unconscious on his
deathbed, County Detective Roy
Clinton said he murmured. “That
poor little woman—I'm sorry she's
dead ”

By tt.i Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 27.—The Demo

fllcting comment today from farm
leaders in Chicago.
Earl C. Smith, president of the
IlUnois Agricultural Association, said
"it is gratifying to note that the party
pledges to keep farmers on the road
to freedom and prosperity" and de
clared "no one can successfully deny
the right of the Democratic adminis
tration to take much of the credit for
the improvement in farm prices • • •
but added:
"It is difficult to reconcile the state
ment in the platform which assures
fair prices to consumers and fair
profits to farmers."
Prom Stanley F. Morse, executive
vice president of the consistently anti
administration Farmers’ Independence
Council of America, the platform
drew the description: "A colossal bit
of absurdity.”
Morse declared members of his or
ganization. "fighting for liberty and

BOUND’S RELEASE
BYPARDONSOUGHT
State’s Attorney Motivated
by Acquittal of Mrs.
Lyddane.
B) a Staff Correspondent ol The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md„ June 27.—State's
Attorney James H. Pugh will endeavor
next week to secure an unconditional
pardon for John Martin Boland, who
is serving a four-year term in con
nection with the bizarre Lyddane
murder conspiracy case.
The prosecutor said he will go to
Annapolis next week and request Gov.
Harry W. Nice to free Boland. Boland
was found guilty on a charge of con
j spiracy to murder Francis S. Lyddane
■ of Rockville and sentenced to four
years in the Maryland House of Cor
rection.
Pugh’s decision to seek a pardon for
Boland was motivated by the acquittal
of Mrs. Anne Lyddane on a similar
charge after a trial at Hagerstown last
month. The State had charged she
conceived the plot against the life of
her husband, proprietor of a local
restaurant.
It was announced by Pugh immed
iately after the acquittal of Mrs. Lyd
dane that he intended to try to free
Boland, but he has delayed bringing
the matter to the attention of Gov.
Nice until after the latter's vacation
j and the Republican National Conven
tion were over.
Boland, who was the first to be
tried, was convicted after trial in the
Circuit Court here. Mrs. Lyddane was
tried by a Jury before the same tri
bunal, but her first trial ended in
a hung Jury and her counsel then ob
tained a change of venue and the case
was removed to Hagerstown, where she
was acquitted.
