STEPHENSON Advertiser Sports Editor They swirled like dervishes did the varsity Plainsmen of Auburn last night and this fast-stepping Tiger machine annihilated Southern's Panthers in the first half and then turned over the job of holding the enemy to the seconds.

Auburn backs ran like greyhounds dehind some fine downfield blocking, and Auburn linemen charged through like maddened bulls to make breaks in the rout. The final score of 45 to 0 doesn't tell much of the story about the 13th meeting between the teams while Montgomery's greatest sports crowd, estimated at 12,000, looked on in bewilderment at the steady stream of speedsters tearing down the field. Not once did Auburn face the big test of having to make the grade on sustained drive. First it was alert flank play that led to a score and then it was hip action, by Billy Hitchcock and Jimmy Fenton that led to scores. Three Tallies in Pirst Three times did the Tiger strike in the first period, two plays by Fenton culminating in a touchdown from the 10- yard line for the first one and runs of 40 yards and 74 yards by Hitchoock and Fenton respectively were tacked on before the roaring crowd convinced they were watching a team that strikes with the speed of an arrow.

Wilton Kilgore, who left the Panthers shellshocked by his uncanny defense against passes, added to the glittering touchdown trotting in the first half with a 23-yard sprint that placed the oval in' position for the fourth score. He laid the leather on the 2-yard line and Hitchcock knifed through for the score. But this speedy varsity was not to De outdone by the rush line. Kilgore punted out of bounds on Southern's 10 and Joel Eaves broke through to toss Haynes for a four-yard loss. Roton waded in and blocked Bratcher's boot while Williams followed by the charge by pouncing on the ball behind the Panther goal.

McCroskey had booted one extra point. Scarborough had one to his credit and so Fenton was given a shot. He came through. And it was Kilgore who put the TIgers back into six-point territory for the sixth touchdown when he up a Panther pass and 'stepped off 18 yards to Southern's 27. On fast-breaking reverse to the weak side on the second play from this point Kilgore charged across the last stripe.

Panthers Routed The foregoing gives you some ides the kind of football Auburn played. It was all speed. and alertness, and the downfield blocking was superb. But the galloping touchdowns made by Hitchcock, Fenton and Kilgore were things of everlasting beauty and such acts will be a constant joy for Auburn men if they continue through the season. But there's the rub.

These touchdowns were made against a Southern team apparently disorganized. Southern was a team without a spark, except for the dynamic play of Carter at center. Southern's air game was beaten into the ground. The running game was inconsequential and the hip twisters from the Plains made the Panther tackling look bad throughout. Billy Hitchcock, one of several so-called climax runners, had to give the fans and Southern an encore before his punt-returning paid off.

60 Yards For Touchdown Billy galloped 60 yards with one of Rufus Perry's boots in the first quarter. He picked his way and shot deep to the left and waited for his interference to form. This bit of hesitancy averted 8 touchdown when McLendon weaved in and stopped him. But a repetition came and this time when Billy found a clearing he gave them first one hip and then the other. He threw tacklers off stride and hurried on his way once he neared the enemy goal.

There was no delay. That gallop of 60 yards a few seconds before taught him something. A fumble by Fenton on the 10 halted the drive. So we'll leave you with Auburn ahead at intermission by the very large margin of 39 to 0. Joe Stewart, who had been injured.

But before going out he and Sid Scarborough had performed admirably in sending their fast backs off tackle and around the ends in a series of straight Notre Dame bit of football. The blocking of both was good and the defensive work of the entire crowd was brilliant for an opening engagement. Second Team Goes In Came the third period and unsoiled jersies graced the figures of a second team that had more than enough eagerness. The game developed into a dull affair as penalty after penalty robbed the fresh team of any chance it might have of accomplishing something in a scoring way. Blake and Tipper were at the halves and doing all right, but Speck Kelly and Ralph 0'Gwynne had not (Turn to Page 7) Crowd Orderly Despite Its Size A record attendance of approximately 12,000 people hailed the opening the football season last night- with the contest between Auburn and BirminghamSouthern at Cramton Bowl.

Out of the total it was estimated 11,500 were paid admissions, a new record for athletic events at the Bowl. The most interesting score of the game WAS 8 to 0. in favor of Commissioner Screws against Demon Rum. The audience showed marked lack of hilarity though several were seen to raise their hats to their lips, following the maneuver with a pronounced frown. The first inebriate was taken from the stands, peaceably, at 8:18, cheers accompanying his removal.

The city, dump across Madison from the Bowl was on its good behavior, perhaps in deference to the crowd.

BRUNSON Suit Jeopardizes Brunson's Post Statute Creating People's Attorney Challenged In Southern Bell's Appeal Prospective appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court from the recent ruling of Judge Walter B. Jones, of the Montgomery Circuit Court, dismissing action seeking a review of an order of the Public Service Commission reducing service rates of the Southern Bell Telephone And Telegraph Company, will place in jeopardy the position of Peoples Public Service Attorney now held by W.

M. Brunson, of Elba, it was learned yesterday. The proceeding seeking review of the order of the commission which lopped $250,000 annually from the company's revenue in Alabama, was filed by Atty. Gen. Albert A.

Carmichael, and Horace Wilkinson as counsel for the City of Birmingham, on the ground that the reduction in rates made was inadequate and should have been at least $400,000 3 year. Dismissing this proceeding, Circult Judge Jones ruled that the State ant the City of Birmingham had no right by direct appeal to a review of the commission's order, Notice WAS thereafter given of appeal to the Supreme Court. Reports current for several days at the Capitol that this appeal would bring into jeopardy the office of Peoples Public Service Attorney, were confirmed by Wilkinson yesterday. In opposing the attempt made in Circuit Court to obtain a review of the commission's rate order, re said, attorneys for the Telephone Cumpany contended that the act of the Legislature upon which the City of Birmi: gham's request for a review was based, WAR unconstitutional. "This same Le said, "makes provision for the office of Peoples Public Service Attorney.

"I thought it was only fair," he continued, "to inform Mr. Brunson that the matter of the validity of the act would come before the Alabama Supreme Court on appeal of the case, and call his attention to the fact that the act created the office he now holds, at the same time suggesting it might be advisable for him to prepare and file a brief in connection with the appeal." He said he had so informed Mr. Brunson, and suggested the filing of the brief referred to. Gas Tax Paid In Seven Figures September gasoline tax collections thus far amount to $1,084,865.68 compared with $957,528.31 for the same month last year, it was announced yesterday by Chairman Henry S. Long, of the State Tax Commission, who said that the figures for the present month bring the total collections of gasoline tax for the fiscal year now drawing to a close, to $11,232,459.42.

This total, he stated, compares with collections of $9,994,793.16 a year ago and $8,859,517.88 for the year ending Sept. 30, 1934. The excess this year over last is $1,237,666.26, and over 1934 is $2,372,941.54. The increased revenue accruing to the State from this source is attributed by Mr. Long to two main causes, improved business conditions, and an adequate collection force patroling the State's borders to prevent the "bootlegging" of gasoline by persons seeking to bring motor fuel into Alabama without paying the tax.

Recently he added two men to his field force when he received reliable information that a new plan of gasoline "bootlegging" was about to be launched, seeking to defraud the State. The plan, he said, had been timed by those who originated it, to be put in effect immediately in view of the large volume of business being conducted in Alabama by the gasoline industry, which they believed would make "bootlegging" activities less noticeable and greatly reduce the risk of detection. In addition to figures made public on gasoline tax collections, Mr. Long also released interesting comparative figures, showing the gasoline industry scored a new high in this State during the fiscal year now ending, for gallons sold. The Tax Commission's records show, he said, that during this fiscal year, tax was collected on 187,217,680 gallons, compared with 176,586,045 during the year ending Sept.

30, 1935. This month, lubricating oil tax collected totaled $17,015.52, compared with $12,736.16 in September last year, 8 gain of $4,279.36, it was stated. In connection with the figures all nounced, Mr. Long called attention to the fact that half of the gasoline tax collected by the State goes to the counties and that the other half accrues to the State Highway Department to be used for road and. bridge construction aind maintenance, paying interest and principal of State road bonds, and matching Federal aid, and that under the law it can be expended for those purposes only.

Britain Pledge Aid Find Trio That Parliament Is Called To Meet Monday; Better Times Forecast By CLAUDE A. JAGGER (Copyright, 1936, The Associated Press) France, with the cooperation of the United States and England, moved today to readjust the value of its currency. Many bankers and economists regarded this as probably the final chapter in the succession of currency revaluations which the march of world economic depression left in its wake. It was thus seen as removing one of the big remaining elements of uncertainty in international economic affairs, tending to lift one of the chief causes of trade quotas and restrictions, and, it was hoped, speeding better times. A number of Wall Street leaders described the step as "highly London financial circles looked for stimulation of international trade.

Economists explained that the move to readjust currency values gained impetus following the removal of the British pound from its old gold standard five years ago. That disturbed much of the rest of the world, since more than half of the world's trade is financed through British and related currencies, and it tended to reduce price levels in the United States and other important countries. But now, since currency readjustments are largely completed in the leading etary powers save France and a few of her smaller neighbors, and because but little of the world's international trade is Roosevelt Tour Of West Studied Denver To Be Terminus Of First Invasion; To Keep Close Tab On Europe HYDE PARK, N.

He repeated that for one primary reason he did not wish any of the campaign trips to separate him too remotely from Washington and that any of them would be subject to cancellation. Mr. Roosevelt did not name the reason, but some. of his associates have said he preferred to keep within easy reach of the capital while the foreign situation was so disturbed.

Dates and places for political appearances after October 2 have not yet been determined, the President said. Leading Democratic strategists, who talked with the President yesterday, said a speech would be made at Omaha, in addition to one at Denver, on that trip. Earlier in the day, the President completed an itinerary for a trip next week that will pack into four days six speeches and four appearances on the rear platform of his special train. He will start off with an informal address in Syracuse, N. Tuesday at the laying of a cornerstone for Syracuse University's new medical college, then speak in the evening before the New York State Democratic convention there.

After conferences the following day in Washington Mr. Roosevelt will move on Thursday to Elkins, W. Va. There he will view the coronation of the queen of the Mountain State forest festival around noon and make afternoon platform appearances at Grafton, and Morgantown, W. and Connellsville, en route to Pittsburgh, where he will speak that same night.

Next Friday he will dedicate a medical center in Jersey City, N. attend a World Series ball game in New York, speak again at ground-breaking for the Queens-Midtown tunnel at Long Island City, N. then drive back to Hyde Park.

(P)- Gov. Alf M. Landon campaigned across Wisconsin today seeking the 12 presidential electoral votes held by the home State of the LaFollette Progressive Party. Halting his special train half a dozen times as he travelled through rolling hill country toward an overnight stop at Oshkosh, the Republican candidate reiterated criticisms of the Roosevelt administration's reciprocal trade agreements and said its policies had placed farmers under a "handicap." The goal of the two-day tour of the Badger State was a Milwaukee speech tomorrow night, the third of his farm belt swing, in which the no nominee planned to discuss social security.

Woodring, former governor of Kansas, has been acting as head of the War Department since Dern, a former governor of Utah, died late last month.

The White House announcement said the Woodring appointment was only temporary, but gave no indication whether he or someone else would be given the post permanently. The announcement said that under the law, the cabinet vacancy must be within 30 days. Half 8 dozen other men have been mentioned for the War Department post, including Gov. Paul V. McNutt, of Indiana, and Senator 'Mahoney, of Wy- oming.

Actress Victim Of Fiend Attack Dancer Is Slugged With Brick In Fifth Hotel Mystery At Chicago CHICAGO, Sept. (P) Pretty Alda Derry, 23-year-old actress, was beaten, choked and left near death today in a mystery-shrouded attack in a Loop hotel. Detectives, confronted with the fifth savage assault on women hotel patrons in the last five months, launched tearch for two unnamed men for questioning. The comely victim emerged from 8 coma to tell investigators she had visited a night club with a "darling chap" but could not recall what had happened from the time she went to her room until she awoke in the hospital- skull bashed by a brick and her face and body bruised ty repeated blows. She was found on a blood-stained bed about 5 a.m.

Miss Ryan told investigators Miss Derry came in alone an hour earlier and went to the room they shared-515. Miss Ryan was reading 8 detective thriller in an adjacent room, 515A, occupied by the manager of their comedy skit, Jack Morris, but fell asleep in a chair. Aroused by Cough Miss Ryan related how the sound of coughing roused her, and she ran into room 515 and found Miss Derry stretched on the bed. Miss Derry's gray dress had been torn.

A silk stocking was wound about her neck. Her face was turning blue. Her nose was bleeding. There was a gash on her left temple. Sergeant Ralph McKenna was suminoned.

He extinguished a blaze in the clothes closet. Later he found a brick, apparently taken from a partially dismantled wall along a parking lot next to the hotel, had been stuffed between the two mattresses on the bed. Captain George O'Connor said there were indications the brunette actress had been criminally assaulted. "I met a friend last night- a darling chap I have known for five years- and we went to the Three Miss Derry informed detectives. "I was drinking Scotch and soda and I felt pretty good so I put on a song and dance for the patrons My friend took me to the hotel and left me in the lobby, All I remember is going to my room and going to sleep with my clothes on.

It was merely a change in the humidity, or, in simpler terms, a relative dryness of the air. Yesterday afternoon the tempersture here was within three or four degrees of Thursday's maximum.

At noon yesterday the temperature WAS 80. At noon Thursday it was 82. But- -at noon Thursday the humidity was 72, while at the same hour yesterday it was but 32. If all of this is puzzling, here is the way the weatherman explains it. "When the humidity is high and the air is full of moisture, the perspiration evaporates slowly from the body and the cooling process is slow.

"When the humidity is low and the air is dry, the perspiration evaporates quickly, thus cooling the body much faster than when the air is moist."

Naturalization Questions Stump Born Citizens But Three Aliens Answer Them Readily And Get Their Final Papers Although two of the three had spanned nearly all of the allotted "three score and ten" years of human life, they stood proudly erect yesterday in United States District Court here, right hands held high, and took the oath that changed their status from that of alien to American citizens. That they were happy in their new citizenship WAS attested by broad smiles and handshakes of mutual congratulations. While this change was occurring in the lives of these three, Judge Charles B.

Kennamer had before him a "declaration of intention," from a fourth-81-year-old James Alfred Lawrence, of Clanton, a British subject, believed to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, aliens ever to seek naturalization through the United States District Court for Middle Alabama. In the extreme opposite end of the court room sat a few spectators who, perhaps, blushed with rightful shame that they, natural-born citizens, knew less of the American government and its principles than those who had just won their citizenship.

"It's all very well," said Lubitsch, "to speak of Miss Dietrich's legs. They are very beautiful, very. beautiful and they haven't been a detriment to her.

No More Bingo After Weekend City Gives Parlors: 3 Days Grace; Will Not Grant Licenses To Stay Open last night and will be open again tonight, but indications yesterday were they would have to fold up next week. As things stood last night, the establishments had through Monday night to operate. Following conference Friday morning attended by Mayor Gunter, Sheriff Haygood Paterson, and Solicitor W.

T. Seibels, an order was issued authorizing the bingo halls to continue to do business over the weekend, but not on Sunday. Mayor Gunter explained that the few days of grace was allowed to enable the proprietor of the casino at the corner of Dexter Avenue and North Lawrence Street to pay off some bills incurred in connection with the opening of the place last Wednesday night, The Green Lantern on the Carter Road near the Masonic Home, outside the city limits but within the police jurisdiction, was included in yesterday's bingo order. There are no such establishments in the county outside the police jurisdiction, and there will be none, Sheriff Paterson said. Several days ago Mayor Gunter questioned the wisdom of permitting the two downtown casinoes to open, but the Commission later in the week authorized their operation.

The ordinance imposed 8 license of $100 a month and a 15 per cent take-out of the proceeds for charity. But as the ordinance has never been published, it has not. become law. From the way everything was shaping up against the bingo business yesterday, the ordinance is not likely to be published. The Mayor pointed out that a downtown street was no place for a bingo hall.

He said, however, no complaints, had been received by the Commission against the bingo amusements. At the conference yesterday morning the point was made that the city could not legally license a bingo hall for the reason it is a form of gambling prohibited in the State. The proprietor of the Dexter Avenue parlor said he had not been called upon yet to take out his I- cense. So far as the casino on Commerce Street was concerned, Friday's developments against the bingo business mattered little. The establishment opened Wednesday night with only a small attendance and reports yesterday were that the crowd was too slim the following night for a single play.

Mob Butchers Spanish Rebels For Air Attack 60 Prisoners Are Slain In Retribution For. Bombs Showered On Bilboa Threaten Madrid Government In Desperate Stand To Halt Fascist March On Key Cities By the Associated Press A devastating insurgent serial attack cost the lives of more than 100 persons last night in the government city of Bilbao, sending into the streets a screaming mob which wreaked its vengeance by slaughtering 60 Spanish Fascist hostages. As the enraged populace ran wildly through the street, howling for their leaders to bring out all of the 4,000 hostages held in Bilbao, government forces were reported to have driven 31 miles south of the city in a desperate effort to cut off insurgent communications at the strategic highway city of Vitoria. Government military leaders in Madrid, meanwhile, ordered a three-fold advance to keep Pascist forces from approaching closer to the cities of Madrid and Toledo. AZANA ASKS REFUGE BUENOS AIRES, Sept.

25. UP) Authoritative sources declared tonight Argentine officials in Madrid had informed the Buenos Aires Government that Spanish President Manuel Asana had asked refuge aboard an Argentine cruiser off Spain. These sources, close to the government, said the Argentine foreign office was told the situation in Madrid, harassed by fascist insurgents, chaotic. President Azana was quoted as ask ing tor a haven on the Argentine cruiser 25 De Mayo, now at Alicante on Spain's southeast coast. Other members of the Spanish government also were reported to have sought refuge there.

The Fascist radio broadcast from Corunna asserted that the Spanish tional workers federation and the ian anarchist federation had dematided the resignation of Madrid's government headed by Premier Francisco Largo Canallero. These groups demanded, the broadcast said, that special executive committee be appointed to conduct the war against Fascist insurgents. Another Insurgent broadcast, from. Seville, said Fascist troops had cut off Spanish government: reinforcements marching from Madrid toward Toledo. The broadcast added that the besieged Fascists in Toledo's Alcazar fortress had released their women and children but that the men-folk still held to their detenses.

Three divisions of government forces, Madrid announced, were driving toward battle with Fascists in the Talavera sector southwest of Madrid. Infuriated Mob Kills 60 Insurgent. Hostages By ROBERT B. PARKER, JR. (Copyright, 1936, The Associated 'Press) BALBAO, SPAIN, Sept.

25. Roaring mobs slaughtered 60 Fascist hostages tonight and ran through the streets screamfor more executions after hundreds of citizens were killed or injured in an insurgent aerial bombardment. "Kill all the rightists!" the infuriated mobs cried as they stormed government buildings and howled for their leaders to bring out all of the 4,000 hostages held here. Rage stifled terror as the shouting men, women and children ran through the streets that for more than two hours had roared with explosions of 500-pound bombs from eight Fascist tri motored planes flying so low that the features of the pilots were clearly discernible from the ground. More than a hundred inhabitants of the city were either blown to pieces or crushed to death under piles of flaming wreckage.

Toll Undetermined Nobody knew or ventured a guess on the actual toll of dead and wounded. One entire block of homes was razed by the heavy Fascist bombs. Firemen and militiamen counted 126 dead, but they were still dragging more bodies from blasted homes. Women and children dashed wildly to and fro to claim their dead, but most of the bodies were so mangled that identification was impossible. As the Fascist planes, their deadly mission accomplished, droned off into the distance, mobs milled around the provincial government building and demanded hostages to kill.

Government leaders brought out 60 hostages and turned machine-guns loose on them as the mobs shrieked for more. Frenzied women plunged their handkerchiefs in the pools of blood where the prisoners had died. As the mobs around the government buildings grew in size and violence, Eliadore de la Tore, Basque nationalist chief, came to a balcony and shouted that they would have the satisfaction they demanded.

The three receiving final naturalization credentials yesterday were Corinto Pace, 37, formerly an Italian, who now resides in Montgomery; William Prideax Lakeman, 68, former British subject now of Lay Dam, near Clanton, and Ellen Elizabeth Lakeman, 68, his wife, also of Lay Dam.

It also was stated that he filed his original "declaration of intention" at Howell City, Nov. 18, 1891, but that after seven years, he had failed to apply for his second papers. The "declaration of intention" expires after that length of time.

Under government law, Lawrence now must wait several years before he can obtain his citizenship. Persons entering the United States, it was said, were permitted to file their "declarations" upon entry, and, after five years' residence, present petitions for naturalization.
