LONDON, Aug.

gravity of the financial and political situation in Great Britain was em- phasised today by the dramatic and sudden arrival of Stanley Baldwin, conservative party leader, in London. Baldwin arrived from Aix-Des- Lains, almost without baggage, to be present in the case of an appeal from Premier J. Ramsey Macdonald for the co-operation of the opposition parties in the labor government's urgent efforts to meet the nation's pressing financial problems. Meanwhile, the Labor cabinet's economy committee resumed its special sessions at No. 10 Downing street at 11 a.

for a further searching study of the economic situation. It adjourned 90 minutes later. Neville Chamberlain, chairman of the Conservative party, arrived after an all-night ride from Scotland, and Sir Herbert Samuel, prominent Liberal party leader, reached London from Sheringham, in Norf olkshire. It was understood Baldwin's dash back to and his wife had only gone to the Continent four days ago for a in consequence of a message from Premier Macdonald, forwarded through Chamberlain. Chamberlain said that he had cut his holiday short "because I received an intimation from a responsible quarter that my presence in London might be helpful in the present crisis." The Conservative and Liberal party leaders were expected to cooperate in a three-party move to meet the impending crisis.

RAIN HALTS THE HAMBLETONIAN RACE GOSHEN, N. Aug. Hambletonian stake, premier trotting race of the American track, was postponed for a third time today.

Mexico State prison for battery. Mitchell announced neither the judge nor the two prosecutors in the case had recommended clemency and under the rule, it was not required to submit the matter to President Hoover. He said this amounted to a denial of the application for executive clemency. The petition for executive clemency did not come from FaU but was signed by the two senators from New Mexico, members of the legislature and other political leaders and prominent citizens. Mitchell acted upon a report from Pardon Attorney James A.

Finch to whom the recommendations of Judge William Hitz, who presided at the FaU trial; Atlee Pomerene, special government counsel and Leo A. Rover, United State attorney for the Djtetrict of Columbia, had their mendation against executive clemency in response to the usual inquiry from the Department of Justice when such a petition is received. The formal statement issued by the department said: Department of Justice has completed its consideration of the application of executive clemency made on behalf of Albert B. FaU. "The application, not made by Fall himself but by a number of officials and citizens of New Mexico, had been given careful and complete consideration required by the rules governing applications for pardon.

"Those rules require that recommendations be obtained from aU the public officials who have had to do with the prosecution. "Rule 10 provides: 'When one of the persons so consulted advises clemency, the papers shall not be sent to the President except in capital cases or by his special request or by special order of the attorney general; but when any one of the officers consulted advises clemency the papers shall be submitted to the "None of the persons so consulted in this case advises clemency and the attorney general has determined there is no reason to make a special order submitting the papers to the president. "Under the rules the case will be automatically fUed away without further action. This course amount to a denial of the application." FaU wul be eligible to parole after he has served four months of his sentence and the matter of a parole was not involved in the decision against granting executive clemency. Executive clemency means either a pardon or a commutation of sentence.

LOCAL PEOPLE SEEK PLACE ON HIGHWAY PATROL It Is Estimated That at Least fifty Applications Have Been Sent in From This County. WILL BE GIVEN TRAINING. Organization Is Expected to Be Functioning the Latter Part of September or Early October. With the selection of the captains and officers for the state highway patrol now underway, it is estimated that fifty or more applications have been sent in from Chillicothe and Livingston County. At least one application has been filed for a captaincy here.

Those applicants who appear to meet the legal requirements will be called for examination, probably to be held at the State Capitol about September 15. The examination will include a rigid physical test, a written mental examination in the form of an intelligence test, a personal interview by examining officers to judge the outward appearance, demeanor, and such other tests as may be prescribed by the superintendent. Those who make a satisfactory showing then will be investigated in their home communities to ascertain their character and reputation. The first training class, not to exceed 60, will be chosen from this group. The St.

Louis Police Department has offered the free use of the facilities of its training school, which includes an intensive course of six weeks in police A delay in the selection of highway patrolmen will prevent the organization from functioning until the latter part of September or tne iirst part of October, it is reported. The men will have to undergo a course of training before they are given assignments. Every effort, however, is being made to get the organization working at the earliest possible time. The need of a highway patrol is seen on the highway every day. The careless driver who allows one or both of his headlights to remain dark and those who neglect the tail light on their car will be among the first to be warned by the patrolmen.

A second offense will lead to arrest and the payment of a fine.
