Millions, like the thousands who crowded the supreme court room here and packed the streets outside yesterday, applauded and hailed the native Austrian, whom his own country does not claim, as the savior who will deliver Germany from the chains of socialist government and the Treaty of Versailles. Other millions were contemptuous of his governmental theories and berated the president of the court for allowing Hitler, whose party jumped from twelve to 107 reichstag seats in the elections two weeks ago, the advanages of such a ready-made platform to propagan- gandize his movement.

The sensational declaration by the Belgian senator featured the closing testimony for the defense in the case of the yuthful Italian for his act of last October. De Brouckere declared, on the witness stand, that during an official mission on disarmament he was able, by his personal investiga lion to convince himself that the Mussolini government was acting as he stated. The German nationalists, De Brouckere added, would not ba- have as they are doing if they did not feel themselves supported by the fascists. Killed In Riot In Indian City BOMBAY, Sept.

Michigan Democrats' proposal for a nation-wide referendum on the prohibition question came in for rough handling in keynote speeches at the Republican post-primary state convention here today.

Gov. Fred W. Green, temporary chairman of the convention, asserted that prohibition is not a political issue and should not be Injected Into political campaigns. He denounced the Democratic platform declaration as an effort to "catch votes" and asserted that such a referendum would be without effect. Chase S.

Osborn, former governor, followed with a stronger denunciation of the referendum and of state control proposals, saying that the latter brought up an issue which was decided in the civil war. While the Republicans met with- out an official leader, Governor Green called on them to accept Wilbur M. Brucker, attorney general, who was nominated on the face of returns, as their candidate for governor. Certification of a nominee was held up because of a recount demanded by Brucker's nearest opponent. Alex J.

Groesbeck, former governor, who ran 4,726 votes behind. The complete recount made no material different in the returns, adopted by the state canvassing but Groesbeck attacked the rules board in an appeal to the state supreme court, and the court ordered the certification held up until it could rule on the issues raised. Governor Green, who supported Brucker, deplored the "legal technicalities" which he said prevented Brucker's having the title of nominee today. He called upon the Republicans to accept his leadership nevertheless.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Leaving behind it a trail of mortgaged homes, broken family ties and poverty, the lure of quick riches from "unclaimed estates" in England again is sweeping the Middle West. Despite repeated warnings of the state department that the so- called "Drake estate" and other similar ruses to obtain money from American citizens are mythical, the department has again been 'confronted with a flood of appeals from citizens seeking assistance in collecting "claims. 1 For many years, the practice of soliciting money from Americans to pay charges allegedly needed to obtain for them estate funds in England has been a favorite of confidence men. The matter has already been the subject of diplomatic correspondence between the state department and the British foreign office, the latter emphasizing that such "unclaimed estates" are myths.

Under the old system, the subject would receive a letter from England, stating he had a just i claim to a part of an estate reach- ing into many figures and asking that a sum of money be sent to cover the costs of pursuing the claim. The latest system, however. Is for the subject to be called upon directly and asked to "invest" in the estate, the promised return ranging from to $5,000 for every $1 "invested." One woman in Iowa recently wrote the state department offering to assist in the prosecution of those pursuing the scheme in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. To all pleas, the state department responds that it knows nothing of such estates and on the basis of word from the British foreign office doubts their existence.

Cobb, noted The former case resulted when I writers and close personal friends he invited an audience in front of the court house in Buffalo to join him in drinikng wine which he offered. Asserting property rights, lib- nrty and the sovereign power of a citizen, he brought suit in the present case against James W. Higgins, police commissioner at Buffalo, seeking to restrain him from enforcing the Volstead act.

He would challenge the validity of the 18th amendment on the ground that it was never completely ratified. He also insisted the states had no right to delegate to the federal government powers conveyed in the amendment. He contended the handling of the lici'or question properly belonged to the states nlone. The New York state courts however, sustained the national prohibition law against his attacks.
