(Fontaine Fox, 1928, The Bell Syndicate. Inc.) DISTILLERY OWNER TRICKED GIRL, 23, MONAGHAN SAYS (Continued From First Page) manders at his request after the District Attorney had asserted that the police were disregarding a previous admonition from the Mayor to "clean up." "When I sent toana Judge Monaghan last proports, the mayor, "I had not had time or opportunity to go over them in detail. I felt that he ought to have them immediately in order that he could derive information that would be helpful in the grand jury's investigation. "Now I have requested him to let me have them back so that I may pursue by own investigation. I want to make that investigation so that the proper action can be taken with out loss of time." While Mr.

Mackey had not disclosed until today that he would make an inquiry, he had, previously indicated that he would ask certain police commanders to explain why they had not cleaned up certain conditions which they disclosed in their reports to him. The greater part of today's session of the grand jury was devoted to investigation of alcohol diversion this city. After a number of witnesses had been examined Assistant District Attorney Lemuel B. Schofield said there was reason to believe that machine guns purchased from Edward S. Goldberg here had been used in protecting alcohol-laden trucks.

"At first we believed that the machine guns were used in the gang shootings," said Mr. Schofeld, "but from what we now learn it appears likely that the guns were either mounted on the trucks or were carried in motor cars which convoyed the trucks." During his examination Goldberg asserted that Max "Boo Boo" Hoff characterized by Judge Monaghan as "king of the bootleggers," had purchased machine guns and bulletproof vests from him. Seek Schwartz and Lazar Chief of County Detectives Patrick McKewen, working under the district attorney's office, said today that active search was being made for Charles and Samuel Lazar, who have been associated with Hoff in various enterprises. Recent efforts to locate Schwartz and Lazar disclosed that they were in Canada on a vacation. The district attorney said he had investigated only one plant suspected of diverting alcohol to bootleggers, but that he expected much along that line from seven prohibition agents who came here yesterday from Washington.

The federal staff is headed by George E. Golding, known as the star "clean-up" man of the prohibition unit. Although a dispatch from Washington today asserted that Golding and his staff did not come to Philadelphia to assist in the grand jury inquiry, but came on a separate case, District Attorney Monaghan made the following statement concerning their presence here: "I regard the sending of federal agents here of prime importance. Mr. Golding and his staff can be of the utmost assistance in furthering the probe in Philadelphia County.

We are necessarily turning up material that is of more importance to the government than it is to the grand jury of Philadelphia County. "Many of the bootlegging operations on a nation-wide scale have centered in Philadelphia and we are forging more links in the chain every day." Asks Billy Sunday's Aid Mayor Mackey today urged Rev. Billy Sunday to "so arrange this affairs that he could come to Philadelphia and help in a spiritual 'and assist in cleaning out the bootleggers through conversion of the bootleggers' customers. The invitation was extended at the end of a mass meeting in Arch Street Methodist Episcopal Church, where Billy Sunday spoke. Without indicating his decision, Sunday said it was a brave stand the mayor had taken.

are in one of spiritual crises in Philadelphia," Mayor those, Mackey. "We have to place the responsibility for the present situation on the eminent citizens with appetites that create a market for the bootlegger. Respectability is making a demand for bootleg liquor.

C. ASSEMBLY COLUMBIA, S. Sept. 11 (AP)Mrs. Mary Ellis of Jasper county tonight apparently had won the distinction of being the first woman ever elected to the South Carolina general assembly by an almost certain victory in the run-off Democratic primary, which is equivalent to election.

Complete unofficial returns gave Mrs. Ellis 620 votes and H. Klugh: 439 in their race for Jasper county's state senate seat. Only state legislature and county office contests figured in the primary. ONE-ACT PLAY BY TELEVISION (Continued From First Page) radio receivers.

The cabinets housing the sets were of octogonal shape, of the material used in standard radio receivers and bearing on faces three control dials. The Images appeared on the screen in a reddish cast, a result of the Neon lamp used in the conversion of broadcast electric impulses into visible light waves. It was found that the make-up of the actors must be accentuated even beyond that used on the stage. The mouth, nostrils and eyebrows of the characters were sharply defined with heavy colors and the skin shaded and blended to bring out the contrast. The director turned to the tricks of the motion picture studio in presenting his drama.

To avoid sharp and confusing changes of faces and "scenes," the "fade-out" and "fadein" common to the motion picture were used. The actor's mental and visual impression of dizziness was conveyed to the the audience director's through control the knob, sending image on a waving path across the screen while the actor's voice became thick and heavy. The three units of the camera outfit consists of a cabinet containing a 24-hole scanning disc and a 1000- a watt lamp as a light source and two smaller cabinets, each containing a photo- tube and holes amplifying of Through whirling the disc poured the light of the 1000- watt lamp, flooding the face of the subject with its wavering gleam. actor kept in focus of the photo-electric cell whose mechanical eyes picked up the play of light and shadows across the subject's face and transmitted them into electric impulses. The impulses, passed through the amplifier, were carried by wire to the company's experimental station, three away, and broadcast on a wave-length of 379.5 meters.

Across the three-mile gap the radio receiver in the laboratory picked up the impulses, passed them through amplifiers, converted them into light waves through the use of Neon tubes and registered them on the receiving screen through the scanning disc. The second and larger television apparatus demonstrated projected its reproductions onto a cloth screen in the manner of motion pictures. The images so produced measured more than a foot across, as against the few inches of the smaller receiving outfit. The primary difference between the larger unit and that used in television broadcast is in the scanning disc, engineers explained that the scanning disc of the larger machine contains 48 holes to the inch, while tains of but the 24 holes. broadcast apparatus MISSING TREASURER OF CHURCH INDICTED ATLANTA, Sept.

11, (AP)-An indictment charging embezzlement of $69,000 was returned by the Fulton county grand jury today against Clinton S. Carnes, missing treasurer of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The indictment was returned a few hours after the grand jury began its investigation of the affair of the missing Atlanta man, whose books indicate a shortage of from $800,000 to $1,000,000, officials said. Carnes disappeared August 15. Thomas Scott, one of the receivers for Carnes' properties, an Atlanta attorney one time employed by Carnes said a secret set of books maintained by Carnes showed that the mission board treasurer had advanced about $12,000 in behalf of two girls seeking motion picture careers in Hollywood.

Advices from Hollywood said the girls, with their chaperone, were stranded in the California elty because they had received no funds since Carnes disappeared.

It can be done through an aroused citizenry. FISTS FLY FREELY AS TEXANS BOLT GOVERNOR SMITH (Continued From First Page) after the convention opened and shouted: "Let all loyal Democrats retire." Eyes were blackened and noses bled as the insurgents, trooping from the hall amid jeers and shouts of "Get out, Republicans," attempted to snatch standards from delegations of loyalists. Uniformed officers broke up a half dozen melees before order finally was restored and about 300 insurgents repaired to their meeting place on the front steps of the Fair Park Auditorium. The bolt was precipitated when 8 motion was introduced demanding that only those delegations loyal to Governor Smith he seated. The motion was an anti-climax to the action of the state executive committee yesterday, when anti-Smith delegations from five counties were notifled that they would not be seated in the convention.

Meeting apart from the regular Democratic group, the Hoover supporters elected former State Senator Thomas B. Love temporary chairman, named committees and listened to several addresses before adjourning their convention and leaving direction of their future activities in the hands of an executive committee, headed by Alvin S. Moody, of Love and Colquitt addressed the bolters, telling them to go to their homes and "prepare for the fight." A set of resolutions adopted characterized the nomination of Governor Smith as an 'unfortunate error" and condemned the "high-handed and lawless methods of the regular convention." Retirement of the delegates opposed to the Democratic presidential nominee left the loyal forces free to elect officers, frame their platform and attend to routine business without prospect of further interruptions. The regulars adopted a resolution eclaring that "92 1-2 per cent of the bolters were not delegates to the convention, but citizens of Dallas and surrounding communities who came to the auditorium for the express purpose of organizing a bolt." On motion of former Senator Bailey another resolution was adopted ordering the convention purged of "Hoover Democrats." Barring a possible conflict between Governor Dan Moody and certain members of the platform committee over the inclusion of a prohibition plank in the platform, the wind-up of the regular convention promised to be tranquil. Governor Moody announced he would seek to incorporate a plank endorsing the principles of prohibi.

tion, and it was known several bers of the committee, who believed that any endorsement of prohibition by the convention would be looked upon as a reflection upon the candidacy of Governor Smith, planned to fight such a plank.

MYSTERY OF LIFE NEAR SOLUTION, SCIENTIST SAYS (Continued From First Page) natural breakdown of this structure, always present and only warded off by the structure preserving its action of oxidation." Professor Donnan said that living cell contains within itself the seeds of death, called autolytic enzymes, which are capable of hydrolysing and of breaking up the protein components of the protoplasm of the cell. As long as the cell lives these enzymes do not act. "The living being a dynamically organized work individual, harmoniously all parts together of for the well-being of the whole organism. whole appears to us something essentially greater than the sum total its parts. We may learn how the nervous system serves to organize and unite the varied activities of this complex multicellular animal.

may learn how chemical substances are secreted by ductless glands and act as a powerful means of regulating and controlling growth and other activities of various organs ONES and tissues. "Nevertheless, in spite of these great discoveries, the harmonious and dynamic conditions of the various organs ever confront us as the great mysteries of The professor went on to say that "science truly understood it is not death, but is the birth of mystery, awe and reverence." He paid tribute to the work of several American scientists in developing study of cellular structure. RASKOB UNCHANGED AFTER MAINE VOTE NEW YORK, Sept. 11 J. Raskob, Democratic national chairman, said tonight that the outcome of the Maine election had not caused him to change his prediction, made in St.

Louis last month, that Governor Alfred E. Smith, would receive 309 lectoral votes. Earlier in the day the Democratic chairman expressed surprise that the Republicans had not won by an even larger margin than they did in Maine. He said Democratic leaders "have regarded Maine as a Republican state all along." and added that he did not think the national issues were involved "at all in the Maine elections."
