rebel Galician column trying to
storm Ovicdo to relieve a rebel

where the Galician advance was
temporarily halted.
Basques and Anarchists in San
Sebastian continued their quarrel
today, the former trying to pre
vent destruction of the city and
the latter making preparations to
burn it as they did Irun. This
morning Anarchists carried little
tin receptacles of gasoline about
the city and placed them in build
ings. They also anounced their
intention of setting fire to homes
as soon as the rebels are in sight
of the city.
Women with children in their
arms begged the Anarchists not
to put their plan into execution
as the fire would ripe out all their
belongings. But whenever their
differences become acute the An
archists do not hestiate to fire on
civilians. Socialists and Basques
come to the defense of the popula
tion, and thus numerous clashes .
occur. Several were killed in
street fighting today.

30.000.000 workers from coast-to

The usually jubilant festivities

SUITOR IS WILLING IF

?The beautiful. 18-year-old
Spanish girl who came to the
American embassy last Saturday
recking protection, and who of
fered to marry an American in
order to be admitted, had an
offer of marriage today from
North Birmingham, Ala.
The United Press here received
a cable signed by Peter Sevtell,
of 1810 Frtirth avenue, North
I Birmingham. He said he would
ecme to Madrid and marry the
girl if she would pay his way to
Spain and back home. The Unit
ed Press located the girl, who
Saturday declined to give her
name, and submitted Sevtell's
proposal.
The girl is a slim brunette,
typically Spanish, with large,
brown eyes and classical features.
| When tcld no one but Americans
were admitted to the U. S. em
bassy, she said she was the
granddaughter of a general and
would do anything to insure her
personal safety.
I "If necessary I would marry
an American," she said, "and if
he would take me to the United
States I would immediately give
him a divorce. I would make it
worth his while in cash."

As she spoke in the cool shade

SELBY STOKES
IN RESCUE OF
CURRITUCKIANS
Relief was near at hanrl for Dr.
S. M. Mann and Dr. and Mrs. E.
M. Mann of Moyock when their
boat capsized at the Wright
Memorial Bridge late yesterday af
ternoon as th e three Currituck
county residents were enjoying a
fishing jaunt, according to eye- ;
witness's story that reached here
late last night.
At the time of the accident, the i
west-bound bus from Manteo {
came opposite the Manns and the
incident was witnessed immediate- i
|ly by the driver of the vehicle.
Selby Stokes of this city, who |
was a passenger on the bus, dived
overboard at once and carried a
rope to the three peonlc since the
distance was too great for it to
have been thrown with any degree
of success.
The victims were hauled safely
to the bridge, little the worst for
their uncxpccting ducking, but
just in time since, when Stokes
reached the elder Dr. Mann, he
had gone down for the first time.
The Manns were running along-1
side the bridge in a speed boat at
a light fast clip when, in attempt
ing to make a turn, they capsized
the boat. All three were thrown
out of the boat, which went on
for a little ways, righted itself and
then difted away from them.
The Manteo-Elizabeth bus. run
ning behind time, was almost di
rectly opposite the boat at the
time.
The bus sloped and passengers
piled out and lined the bridge
railing. But everyone was look
ing and no one was making any
move to assist the trio in the wa
ter. Stokes, seeing that the elder
Dr. Mann was weakening, decid
ed that something ought to be
done at once. Having passed the
Red Cross Life Saving tests, he
felt that he might be of some as
sistance if the trio were in dan
ger. Unhesitatingly removing
most of his clothing in the bus,
Stokes jumped over the bridge
railing in his underwear and socks.
He swam out and took a rope to
the elder Dr. Mann, who snatch
ed at it so strongly that he broke
it. Stokes picked up the broken
end and again handed it to the
physician. Ho then turned his at
tention to the wife of the younger
doctor, and took her on his back'
and tsarted swimming toward the (
bridge with her. The younger Dr.
Mann made his own way to the ,
bridge. All of them clung to the
creosatcd bridge pilings until boats ,
from the shore arrived and pick
ed them up.
Eyewitnesses said that at least j,
one of the three, if not more, pro-1
bably would have drowned but for
Stokes' quick thinking and act
ing.

Edward Daladier, Minister of

This work alone will cost $658,

"We must spend to reinforce
security and re-establish the bal

Roger Salengro, Minister of the
Interior, told the United Press af

"We will re-establish security
not by lengthening conscript ser-1

Allcox Jailed In
Default of Bond
In Trespass Case
Unable to raise $400 appeal bond
at a late hour last night, Cleat
cnce "Flowers" Allcox. 22 of Par
sonage street, was still in the
county jail after having been
found guilty yesterday of forcibly
entering the room of a young New
York woman visitor of the Virginia
Dare Hotel Saturday night. Allcox
drew a sentence of six months on
the roads with alternative of a
$300 fine.
Indicted with Allcox was Albert
Roy Peterson. 19, of Rocky Mount
and Portsmouth, who returned to
the Virginia city with his father
yesterday, after paying a fine of
$25 and costs on the same count.
In the trial before Recorder W.
C. Morse in a lengthy session yes
terday, testimony by Allcox was to
the effect that, he, accompanied
by Peterson as his guest, bad mis
taken the identity of a young lady
guest at the hotel and had at
tempted to enter her room before
he realized that he had made a
mistake.
Shortly before, Allcox testified,
lie had engaged in conversation
with a former waitress at the City
Cafe who had invited him to a
room in the building "to take a
few drinks and bring your friend
along." When the girl disappeared
with money given her by Allcox
to purchase ginger ale, he said, he
and Peterson waited in the lobby
until tliey saw a person they took
to be the girl in question enter
the elevator.
Acordlng to the testimony. All
cox elbowed his way into the room
and cried: "Wait, let me explain!"
when the lady screamed and
reached for the telephone. When
she rushed into the hall and to
ward the elevator, both boys went
down the stairs to the lobby.
Allcox was taken in custody by
drug store in the hotel building
while Peterson was arrested near
the main hotel entrance a short
time later. Both defendants were
drunk when carried to police
headquarters, the testimony si low
ed. Peterson especially being some
what dazed.
In ruling on the case Judge
Morse advised Peterson that, while
he might liave been under the in
fluence of liquor to a greater or
less extent, that fact did not miti
gate his blame since lie had the
opportunity of refusing to ac
company his host.
Allcox drew the stiffer judg
ment, said the judge, in view of
the fact that lie seemed from the
evidence to be the motivating in
fluence in the affair. Defense
counsel P. G. Sawyer immediately
noted an appeal and requested
that bond be set in accordance
with the ability of his client to
furnish the same.
