A sober, handsome man In a well fitting business suit, Malchow stood before Judge Haycraft, who has known him for years, and heard a misty-eyed jurist say the words which send him to the penitentiary for from 1 to 10 years.

"The fear the guilt what I had done to my family and friends, nobody, knew but me." "Every time I read of an embezzler being arrested I was frantic.

New York, March 13. The first returns in a nation-wide straw vote on the liquor question show a sentiment more than two to one against prohibition. They show a surprising demand for repeal of the eighteenth amendment, as compared either with enforcement of the amendment or its modification.

They show an overwhelming wet sentiment in states acknowledged to be wet, but also a strong wet sentiment in states listed as dry. These first returns are based on the first 231.5S8 votes tabulated for 10 states. A total of 20,000,000 bal-lots have been sent out by the Literary Digest, sponsor of the poll. A warning is sounded not to take the results of these early votes as being an index to what is to follow when greater returns roll in. Far Front Final.

"Thee early figures, interesting as they may be," the magazine says, "are by no means to be regarded as a sure fire indication of the poll's final results, even in the 10 states involved in the tabulation." The neatly 300, ooo votes, however, have been taken from various sections of the country and are believed to be as nearly representative as any early returns as could be presented. Moreover, there is an interesting relationship in the percentages of dry, modified and wet sentiment which may or may not be prophetic of future results. The 10 states from which reports were tabulated are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota. Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York and Ohio. On a percentage basis established by the early votes, Illinois shows 24 per cent in favor of enforcement; 31 per cent for modification, 45 per cent for outright repeal.

The sentiment against prohibition, as expressed in the demand for modification or repeal, is more than three to one against prohibition. Minnesota Fairly Event. Indiana, rated as a dry state, shows 44 per cent for enforcement, 30 for modification, and 26 for repeal. Iowa, also rated as dry, shows 42 per cent for enforcement, 31 for modification, and 27 for repeal. Kansas shows the strongest dry sentiment of any of the 10 states, it being the only one in the group in which prohibition sentiment proved (Continued on Page Column 2.) St.

m. and returned its verdict to Judge Carlton F. McNally at 8:17 p. m. Bacheller was fatally shot the evening of February 3 during an altercation in front of a poolroom at Wabasha street and College avenue, St.

Paul. Hurley admitted being present, but denied doing the shooting, attributing it to a drinking companion named "Richards." In his closing address to the Jury, Thomas McMcekin, defense counsel, declared that the identification evidence brought by the state had been unreliable and inaccurate. C. D. O'Brien, Ramsey county attorney, who prosecuted the case for the state, in his final address to the jury contended that Hurley had been positively identified by Mert Bacheller, brother of the slain man, and Frank Carlisle, star witness for the state.

Mr. O'Brien also charged that the police had been negligent In their investigation of the shooting, and charged that "there were a lot of people who didn't want to find the man who did the killing."

Premier Benito Mussolini in Rome seems to hoid the key to possible agreement. Foreign Minister Dino GranJi's long private discussion with MacDonald was probably the most important of the talks today.

MacDonald urged Grandi to name figures below those of Trance on the ground that Briand had hinted that In that case France would reduce her tonnage program. Grandi refused for the following three reasons which he gave the British prime minister. It was learned authoritatively. First, Grandi Intimated that France intends or may intend to smash the conference and said tha If Italy abandons her claim to parity with France here her claim will be hopelessly prejudiced when naval limitation talks are resumed at Geneva or elsewhere. Calls French Misleading, Second, Grandi argued that at the Washington conference the United States and Great Britain both recognized Italian parity with France for which, be said, Italy has not since then claimed parity with Great Britain, th United States or Japan.

Third, the Italian foreign minister declared that the French program Is misleading and that France In 1938 will be tons stronger in new ships than appears on the surface.

Mrs. Peabody Accused of 'Coaching' Witnesses at Inquiry. Committee Adjourns 'To Cool Off' as Members Deplore Washington, March 13. (WNS) The prohibition hearing before the house Judiciary committee today broke up in a wrangle between members over "insults" which Represen. tatlve Sumners, Democrat, Texas, insisted Representative Cellar, Democrat, New York, offered Mrs.

Henry B. Peabody, Beverly, who marshaled the dry women cohorts at yesterday's meeting and presented herself this afternoon for cross-examination. After the war of words had reached white heat Chairman Graham, with a glint of humor in his eye. announced that the committee would "adjourn to cool off." The hearings will be resumed tomorrow morning, a half day being devoted to witnesses who were not able to get on the stand today on account of the prolonged cross-examination of others. Coaching Is Charged.

Mr. Celler started the row when he called attention to the record of yesterday's proceeding, declaring it showed that Mrs. Peabody had "coached" witnesses during cross examination. The New Yorker apparently considered this serious, con. tending that the committee was seek ing to develop the opinions of the individual witnesses, and the coaching interferred with this process.

Other members took up the cudgels for Mrs. Peabody. Finally, Mr. Sumners arose and declared that the suggestion of Mr. Cellar that Mrs.

Peabody had coached witnesses was an insult. "Well, Mr. Sumners, you can leave," remarked Chairman Graham. "I have been a member of this house for years and have never heard a witness insulted like that good lady there has been insulted," retorted Mr. Sumners.

"I have no intention of leaving." Calls For Adjournment. "Let us be fair to everybody," said the chairman. "I have ruled that further discussion along this line is not In order. I now rule that Mrs. Peabody may examine the record and if she finds in it anything that Is not correct she may come before the committee and ask to have it corrected." Representative Hammer, Democrat North Carolina, took a hand.

He agreed with Mr. Sumners that "coaching, as the term is generally understood, is an op.robrious epithet." He was very sure that Mrs. Peabody had not been guilty of any attempt (Continued on Page Column 4.) BY BIG MAJORITY Baldwin's Move for Censure of Government Loses by 70 Votes. London, March 13. UP) The labor government tonight beat off a conservative attack in the house of commons, defeating a motion of cen sure brought hy former Premier Baldwin.

Conservative leader, with a margin of more than 70 votes to spare. The figures were 308 to 235 in the division. After six hours of debate in which Winston Churchill led the Tory attack, about a score of Liberals filed Into the government lobbies and voted with Labor. The Labor strength of 287 votes, however, would have been sufficient alone to defeat the Tories. Mr.

Baldwin's motion to censure the government for its refusal to extend safeguarding duties as a means for reducing unemployment and protecting British industries had from the beginning little chance of success. Prime Minister MacDonald's government has thus stood firm against two opposition onslaughts within a week.

According to Professor Shapley the distance of the new planet has not been definitely computed and neither has its orbit been calculated, as far as he knows. It can be seen only with the most powerful tele scopes now in existence. Its dis tanee from the sun is so great that the light and heat it receives is very small.

Brand of Former Lobbyist Likely to Be on Final Bill in Senate. By George F. Authier; Tribune Wnbtnrton Correspondent. Washington, March 13. It was a glorious day for Joseph Grundy, late generalissimo of lobbyists and now senator from Pennsylvania.

With the reins clasped In hla hands, and enough Democrats hitch ed in harness to make the going good, Grundy drove his high chariot over the prostrate forms of the old coalition while the new coalition basked in smiles of triumphant accomplishment. When the dust had cleared from, the track, Grundyism had gained an additional recognition as a dominating influence in the senate, while on the outside a few conservative Republican leaders were counting the possible costs, but they were given little attention. The situation recalled the days of the old Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, when the coalition of that day fought against organized greed, but were ruthlessly set aside. Nye Motion Downed. The Grundy triumph was not so clear cut but it won over the Nye motion to reconsider duty on sugar.

Farm organizations themselves are divided on this issue, as shown by the fact that Schall of Minnesota voted against the Nye motion to reconsider. Farm organizations had endorsed the sugar rates however, with the exception of Schall of Minnesota and Pine of Oklahoma, the progressive members of the coalition stood pat by voting to reconsider. The Nye motion was lost by a vote of 47 to 38 and a little later, Senator "ye's motion to reconsider' the vote on cement, was defeated by tl-; same number of votes. However, there was a switching of votes, Schall, for example, voting to reconsider. The change in the Democratic votes were enough to make the difference, indicating a suspected strat egy on the part of some Democrats namely, to furnish just enough votes to make the bill as bad as possible.

They are doing this on the theory that the bulk of the Democratic party vote is for a more equable tariff, and besides, the party in power is always held responsible for sins of ommlssion and commission, in tariff making. Grundyism to Win. With this marshalling of strength on the part of Grundyism in the senate, it seemed probable the senate soon will complete passage of th3 kind of a bill the Grundy forcea desire. The coalition the old one has won some notable victories for agriculture, but has failed to prevent the excessive industrial rates whicll will take away from agriculture the equal benefits it desired under the tariff. The result is a Grundy tariff, the Grundy forces striving to get such, advantages as they can out of the bill itself in the senate, relying oa the conference committee to com plete the work which has been com menced on the floor.

The next stage for the bill, will be the presidential gauntlet, and it is assumed that in order remove the outstanding objections which the President may have towards the bill, those who have voted for the present rates will also vote to remove from the measure the debenture and the Norrls compromise on the flexibly provision which would have taken the power of action away from the Resident, under this provision, and lodge it in congress. Strong Vole Foreseen. While there will be a strong vote cast against enactment of the bill as it is being formulated, the progressive northwest leaders believe the combination of oil, sugar, shingles, lumber, cement, aluminum, plate glass, will be sufficiently powerful to put the bill through. The problem will be presented to the northwest group, hether they shall vote for the bill as it will be framed, with its evident failure to grant parity for agriculture, or by voting against it, place themselves in the position of seeming to oppose ruch advantages as have been gained in the farm rates. The present outlook is that most of the prograssive group from the northwest will vote against the bul.

The sanre attitude will be taken by a large number of Democrats. While Grundyism was triumphant, there were evidences there were limits jits triumph, something that encour. jaged the advocates of free lumber, land opponents to the proposed duty on oil although this optimism seem-ied to be far fetched. The outloolt promises a victory for Grundyism on I tlicse important building materials in addition to those already accomplished. Bill Will Add Burdens.

CHASETO FILE State Auditor Keeps Silence as Friends Disclose Plans to Enter Race. By Orlln Folwirk. S'ate Auditor Ray P.

Chase Thurs day was definitely placed In the Re- publican gubernatorial lineup for the i June primaries when friends disclos-j ed that he plans to file within week. Assurance that he will not seek re-election to tha post he has held nine years, hut will make a bid for the governorship was given in spite of the fact that Mr. Chase has de. dined to state his Intentions publicly. Chase Still Silent.

Even after the report was out, Mr. Chae refused to comment. "It is a matter to which I have given "serious thought, but as yet I am not ready to make any statement," he said. Mr. Chases decision to get Into the- Ripuhlican primary tussle will! place at least three well-known Re-publicans before the voters June 1.

Former Governor J. A. A. Burno.ult already is in the race, as is N. J.

Holmberg, state dairy and food commissioner. It was expected, however, that Chase's decision to run would preclude the entry of another much-mentioned candidate Earle Brown, former Hennepin county sheriff and now chief of the state highway patrol. The two have been close friends for years, and it was understood Mr. Brown prefers to stay out of the rare rather than run against Mr. Chase.

Ilotigen May Not Run. John Hougen of Crookston, who ha heon considered a possible candidate, may not make the race. It was reported Thursday that he may seek, the lieutenant governorship. Candidates already include Reuben G. Thoreen of Stillwater, Jens K.

Grondahl of Red Wing and Henry B. Rutledge of Minneapolis. Lieutenant Governor Charles E. Adams of Duluth, who succeeded W. Nolan, when he resinned to become congressman from the fifth district, will not seek re-election.

(IP) The discovery of the ninth major planet of the solar system by as-tromoners at the Lowell observatory, Flagstaff, was announced to-day by Professor Harlow Shapley, director of, the Harvard college observatory. Professor Shapley predicted that the planet, as yet unnamed, Is probably larger than the earth and smaller than Neptune. The discovery, hailed by astrono-mers as one of the most Important since that of Neptune in 1846, was made by means of photographs, through a new 13-lnch "triplet," the most powerful telescope of its class. Search for the planet was begun many years ago by the late Percival Lowell, brother of President A. Law-renre Lowell of Harvard.
