Roosevelt Finds Winds Not
in His Favor at Port
Isabel, Tex.
By the Associated Press.
GALVESTON. Tex.. May 5.—Presi
dent Roosevelt waited on the weather
man today to decide where to cast his
iine next in the choppy waters of
the Gulf of Mexico.
Running down to Port Isabel, near
the Mexican border, yesterday for a
change of fishing grounds the vaca
tioning Chief Executive found the
winds unfavorable for tarpon. The
biggest catch was a catfish, less than
a foot long, by Col. Edwin M. Watson,
military aide.
The yacht Potomac, with the Presi
dent aboard, steamed out of Brazos
Santiago Pass at 6:20 a.m. today, ap
parently returning to Aransas Pass.
After snagging 14 silver kings near
the Port Aransas south jetty Monday,
the presidential party decided to seek
a little more privacy yesterday and
cruised 160 miles down the coast near
the mouth of the Rio Grande.
From shore, residents of the Port
Isabel area watched Elliott Roosevelt,
the President's son, and other members
of the party fish from small boats
lowered from the Potomac. They
didn't see the President, but under
stood he, too, was near the jetties in
a dory.
Military Honors for Dog.
POCATELLO, Idaho, May 5 (/P).—
Full military honors for "Jackie,” a
mongrel dog, were given by the C. C.
C. enrollees of Company 560, who
turned out in full uniform for burial
of the mascot in a silver-colored box
after he was crushed under a car's
wheels.

Boys Tell of Watching “Bloody” Harlan County Ambush
MRS. MINNIE CLOUSE.
Mother of the two boys, who
corroborated the statements
of her sons.
La Follette
(Continued From First Page.)
ber of a "gang of mine guards" ordered
to "hunt down union men and bump
them off.”
He told La Follette he did not “mean
to be evasive" and explained that since
the hearings started he had given or
ders “not to dismiss any workers be
cause they join a union” and had
stopped requiring employes to sign
“yellow dog contracts” pledging them
selves never to join a union. .
Says Policy Changed.
He readily acknowledged he “might
have" hired a “gang of gun-thugs to
run off union organizers,” until a few
weeks ago. but assured the committee
he recently had abandoned his policy
of “firing all union men."
During four hours of insistent cross
examination, Bassham repeatedly
shifted his testimony and pleaded a
faulty memory.
Shortly before he took the witness
stand Bassham listened to two thin
faced. gum-chewing mountain young
sters testify that they had seen four
of his mine guards ambush a carload
of union organizers, severely wounding
one of them with a burst of rifle fire.
One of Bassham’s former employes,
Jasper Clouse, also told the committee
that mine guards had beaten him un
conscious and shot his brother Lloyd
to death on the main street of Verda,
the company town, only 10 days ago.
Keport From Harlan.
In Harlan County Bert Howard,
county attorney, was quoted as saying
that Lloyd Clouse was shot only after
he himself had opened fire.
Bassham conceded that, “so far as
I know,” the deputy sheriffs Involved
in both shootings were still on the pay
roll of his firm, the Harlan-Wallins
Coal Co.
He first asserted that he believed
the shooting of Lloyd Clouse was “just
a drunken quarrel” and that he had
not discussed it with any of the depu
ties involved.
When confronted with conflicting
testimony, however, he agreed that he
had discussed the shooting at some
length with Deputy Bill Lewis, named
by Jasper Clouse as one of the four
officers who attacked him and his
brother.
Bassham refused to comment on the
testimony of “Thug” Johnson on the
grounds that “I have nothing to dis
prove it.”
Bilbao
(Continued From First Page.)
Guernica toward Bermeo had been
freed of Basque gunfire. Both Basque
and insurgent reports said tanks and
airplanes had been used in heavy
fighting.
The French cruiser Empire Fertin
and the destroyer Fantasque sailed
from Brest, France, toward Bilbao to
join the French destroyer Terrible in
co-operating in the evacuation of the
refugees.
While fiery Basque militiamen held
their net around the trapped Insur
gents at Bermeo, 16 miles northeast
of Bilbao, a second column drove
southeastward along the Durango
road, meeting the insurgent advance
and capturing important positions.
Basques Control Summit.
A slashing foray of the Durango
road column gave the Basques control
of the summit of Urrumendi—“moun
tain of gold"— just east of Amore
bieta and commanding the main
highway gateway into Bilbao. Amore
bieta is 11 miles east of Bilbao.
Basque commanders said the isola
tion of the Bermeo force—completed
yesterday—would have been a "second
Guadalajara” if their air force had
been strong enough to take full ad
vantage of the land success.
The enr irclement drove hundreds of
Italians oown the steep hill* and into
the Bay of Biscay, where they per
ished. The trap was closed by the

An Italian soldier taken prisoner

and Moorish.
GERMANS DENY CHARGE.
Basque Statement of Guernica Attack
“Typical Atrocity Tale.”
BERLIN, May 5 WP).—An official
spokesman reported today to new
Basque charges that German pilots
had bombed and machine-gunned the
sacred Basque city of Guernica with
this statement:
"It is a typical bolshevist atrocity
tale by which the Reds try to hide
their own crime—the town’s destruc
tion.”
ANARCHIST FLARE CALMED.
Catalan-Valencia Uprising is Reported
Settled.
PERPIGNAN. Franco - Spanish
Frontier, May 5 (A1).—A government
radio broadcast from Barcelona an
nounced peaceful settlement today of
the anarchist uprising against the
Catalan and Valencia Spanish re
gimes.
The brief, bloody rebellion is re
ported to have cost 100 lives and split
the forces lighting the Spanish in
surgents.
The radio announcement tersely re
ported that ^Juan Garcia Oliver, min
ister of justice in the Valencia govern
ment and spokesman for the revolting
anarchists, had arrived at a peaceful
solution with President Luis Cotn
panys of autonomous Catalonia.
The announcement of peace came as
two British warships, the cruiser De
spatch and the destroyer Hostile, sped
to Barcelona as a "precautionary
measure” because of the violence
there.

The anarchist revolt at Barcelona

to instruct its consul general there to

ican cruiser Raleigh, now in French
waters, were said to be keeping a
close watch on events in the Cata

Latest advices to the department
were that all Americans in that city
were safe. Officials here had no
knowledge of the exact number.

D. C, Rector Tells
Of Embarrassing
Moment in Pulpit
By th* Associated Press.
CHESTERTOWN. Md . May 5 —The
Rev. Howard Wilkinson, rector of
St. Thomas' Protestant Episcopal
Church, Washington, where President
Roosevelt frequently worships, yester
day related an “embarrassing moment"
in the life of a clergyman.
It took place the day after President
Roosevelt had outlined his proposal for
revamping the Supreme Court. Dr.
Wilkinson told delegates to the Easton
Diosesan Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church.
Dr. Wilkinson said he had chosen as
his subject for a sermon "The New and
the Old." Unexpectedly, the President
and party entered to attend services.
The clergyman said he proceeded
with his sermon, which dealt with
advocacy of a return to the “old order
of things" from a theological stand
point.
After he had completed his sermon,
Dr. Wilkinson drew the Chief Ex
ecutive aside and assured him that it
had no political significance.

JUVENILE COURT
BILLISINDORSEG
Senate Committee Makes 12
Amendments in Taking
Favorable Action.
The House-approved bill to mod
ernize and humanize Juvenile Court
procedure was placed on the Senate
calendar today alter its indorsement
by the Senate District Committee.
After making a dozen amendments
in the bill the committee late yester
day ordered it favorably reported. The
principal changes are designed to pro
vide additional safeguards for delin
quent children and to restrict the
power of the Judge of the Juvenile
Court.
The amendments were sponsored
by Senator Copeland, Democrat, of
New York. In approving these changes
the committee ignored a proposal of
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal
that a member of his office be restored
to the court staff.
One of the amendments provides
that whenever the court appoints a
social worker as commissioner to hear
a case, the appointment must be ap
proved by the District Commission
ers.
Another change, approved on mo
tion of Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana, would prevent children
from being taken from parents ex
cept as a last resort. The record of j
the court, under another amendment, |
would be opened only to defendants, i
their parents, guardians or their au
