today. At that hour Armstrong went to Mellon's office in the Fvick building annex and in a few minutes some history was made.

George S. Davison, president of the Gulf Refining and A. E. Brice, Mellon's secretary, also talked. What's an ocean between political friends? Nothing at all, in these days.

County Commissioner Joseph G. Armstrong, chairman of the Republican county committee, and W. L. Mellon, who controls the local and state Republican organizations, proved that today. They laid plans for the Hoover campaign in Allegheny county via a telephone line between London, England, anil Pittsburgh.

Perhaps they talked of other things, too, not directly connected with the presidential contest. There is a pronounced notion in political circles that part of the talk probably had to do with some financing of the Republican campaign. The talk lasted five minutes.

29. Dr. Horace M. Kallen. noted philosopher, probably will not be obliged to stand trial un der the Massachusetts blasphemy law enacted some 230 years ago.

A warrant which had been issued for the savant's arrest in connection with a speech he delivered at the Sacco-Vanzetti memorial services here last Thursday was recalled yesterday by Municipal Judge Michael J. Murray. The action was taken after the judge had studied the ancient statute and a stenographic report of Kallen's speech. It was stated that the serving of the warrant would be delayed pending further investigation, and it was indicated that the chances of the warrant's ever being enforced were slim. BACKERS DISAPPOINTED.

Meanwhile Dr. Kallen, a former instructor at Harvard, one-time star pupil of William James, and now of the new school for social resea- Ja in New York, had sent word to the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee from his farm at Bethel, that he was prepared to return to Boston and fight the charge. Withdrawal of the warrant came as a disappointment to the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee, members of which had hoped to develop a test case from Kallen's arrest. The committee already had announced that "an eminent conservative lawyer of Boston" would represent Kallen if the case went to trial. In his speech, Dr.

Kallen was alleged to have said: "If Sacco and Vanzetti were anarchists. Jesus Christ was an anarchist. If Sacco and Vanzetti were anarchists, St. Francis de Assisi was an anarchist. Giordano Bruno was ai anarchist, Thomas Jefferson was an anarchist, Abraham Lincoln was an anarchist." FonxilI Seven Who Flew New York Alaska In 1920 Honored.

was summoned as a witness. He told how he went to Homestead and took in custody certain tax receipts, about 2,000 in number. Vare counsel insisted the Homestead case was not relevant to the 1926 campaign. Wilson counsel explained that they intended to use this case as an example to prove that the circulation of questionable tax receipts was a widespread practice in Allegheny county politics. Prichard characterized the move of the Wilson forces as an attempt "to inject slush and mire into this situation for public consumption and political purposes." GIRL COACHED, CLAIM.

Miss Trill's testimony corroborated that given yesterday by Alvino, in which he told how a check made out to him had been obtained by Miss Trill at the office of W. L. Mellon. Miss Trill had taken the check to Alvino for his indorsement and had given him a receipt, Alvino had testified. The check was for $1,000.

The money was to be used for sending out letters to get out the Italian vote. "My purpose is to ascertain to what degree this witness was coached in the testimony she is to give today," Mahaney declared, when Senator Waterman asked him to explain his line of questioning. In the questioning that led to the altercation. Miss Trill testified that she was now in the silk dress busi ness, but until two years ago nau been the head of a stenographic service. "Are you acquainted with Joseph G.

Armstrong?" Mahaney asked. "I have met him," Miss Trill answered. Have you seen him recently? A. No. Q.

Were you in the county commissioners office yesterday? Yes. Q. Did you meet Alvino there? A. I saw him there. ATTORNEYS CLASH.

q. Why did you select the county commissioners' office for the meeting? A. I didn't select it. QWho did? A. Alvino.

He called me yesterday. Q. Didn't it strike you. as peculiar to meet in such a place? A. No.

As soon as Mahaney asked Miss Trill "What were your duties at Mellon's headquarters?" Attorney Prichard objected. To which Mahaney retorted: "It's getting close, Mr. Prichard, isn't it?" "He's not close to anything and he never has been," Prichard replied. At this point Senator Waterman ordered Mahaney to proceed, but Mahaney appealed to the senator to rebuke the other side and not to rebuke him. Senator Waterman threatened to stop both sides.

The questioning was held up by Senator Waterman's orders to Mahaney to turn over the questioning to his associate. When Attorney Wallerstein refused, Senator Waterman took up the questioning himself. Miss Trill was shown a receipt purporting to be that given by her to Alvino on Nov. 22, 1926. She identified it as the instrument in question.

Mahaney had asked yesterday that hand-writing experts examine the ink to determine the age of the document. AFFECTED BY QUIZ. Her composure was assured when she first took the stand, but under Mahaney's fierce grilling she seemed considerably shaken, and pressed her handkerchief to her face. Senator Waterman asked, the girl if anybody had ever attempted to persuade her how to testify." She said "No." Alvino merely asked her at yesterday's meeting if she remembered giving him the receipt, she stated. Questioned as to whether she had talked to anybody about the case, she stated she had talked to a Mr.

Lesher, an attorney. She said she talked to Lesher because she knew he was connected with the Republican organization. "All Alvino wanted to know was whether you had given him the receipt?" Mahaney asked when he resumed his questioning. The witness nodded. "If you gave him all the infor mation over the telephone that he desired, what was the necessity of meeting him in the county commis sioners omce for further confirmation?" "There was no necessity.

the girl replied. "You've testified that it was about noon that you met Alvino," Mahaney reminded. "Did. you telephone Alvino or did he telephone you?" Mahaney asked Miss Trill. "I telephoned him first.

He telephoned me afterwards." MUSIC PACT SIGNED Chicago Theater Performers Get Wage Increases. By The United Press. Chicago, Aug. 29.
