Thomas Alva Edison, fighting a complication of diseases, showed more activity and more interest outside affairs today than any time since Saturday when his son, Charles, revealed the inventor was "critically ill." Mr. Edison had a good night and slept seven hours, one more than the previous night. His physician, Dr. Hubert S. Howe, said the 84-year-old inyentor was in excellent spirits.

Later Mr. Edison sat at his living room desk reading newspapers. Dr. Howe said he would issue bulletins on the inventor's condition four times daily. The noon bulletin today said: "There has been no marked change in Mr.

Edison's condition this morning. He asked to see the newspapers for the first time in several days and is now in the living room at his desk. "Dr. Hubert S. Howe." The first bulletin of the day said Mr.

Edison "seems to be steadily Messenger boys made regular marches up the half mile hill on the crest of which the inventor's home is situated, carrying messages from many points. One was from Sir Thomas Lipton, wishing the inventor a speedy recovery. Among those calling by telephone were Harvey Firestone, and Henry Ford, two of Mr. Edison's closest friends. Dr.

Howe has revealed that his patient is suffering from diabetes, Bright's disease, ulcers of the stomach and uremic poisoning. Dr. Howe and Charles Edison have expressed fear lest Mr. Edison should refuse to follow the diet prescribed for him. Dr.

Howe said it was vital that he have the proper amount of insulin and of fluid, as too much or too little of either would be harmful. Mr. Edison, long on a milk diet, six weeks ago cut his routine of two glasses every two hours to one every two hours. Dr. Howe said this undernourishment helped to bring about his present condition.

Dr. Howe declared careful nursing would be necessary from now on as he didn't think Mr. Edison would "ever be out, of danger." Frederick Allen, after visit this afternoon, likened, the inventor's condition to that of a ship. "As long as a ship," he said, "keeps on its course all is well. But if it happens to strike a submerged rock, then complications develop." At 6 p.m.

(E. S. the bulletin was issued: "Mr. Edison's condition continues about the same. He slept about one hour this afternoon.

His spirits are cheerful and he is looking forward to an early return of his strength." Actor Asks Clothes To 'Tide Him Over' When Edward Compton was four years old his parents died, leaving him only a pittance. When he was five he was earning his own living as the child actor of a dramatic company. He grew up as an actor and achieved moderate success. He had his own way to make in the world, and did so. He put himself through the elementary and high school grades and through two years of college, all the while supporting himself by his dramatic ability.

Stock companies were on the wane when Mr. Compton left college and he went to Hollywood. He secured several minor roles but most of his work was done as 8 a double for the stars when they were required to do tight-rope walking, high diving, and other acrobatic acts. He even doubled for Lon Chaney on one occasion, Mr. Compton a said.

Doubles who do dangerous work are well paid, Mr. Compton said. But a young man seldom saves much money. On one occasion Mr. Compton was doubling for Buddy Rogers in "Half Way to Heaven." The role called for a dangerous blindfold leap high in the air.

Compton's foct slipped and he plunged nearly 100 feet to the ground. For about a year the man lay in the hospital. Both legs had been broken and his neck dislocated. Finally he recuperated sufficiently to leave the hospital, but the long period of illness had taken all his funds and he was no longer able to do the dangerous work of a double. Mr.

Compton is in Montgomery seeking work. He asks that some clothing store, as an advertising scheme, furnish him with clothing to reappear on nearby stages and recoup his fortune enough to tide him over to Jan. 1, 1932, when, he says, he has a contract with Paramount. Anyone wishing to communicate with him may cal the Y. M.

New Evidence Found In Shooting; Retaliatory Roscoe Raids Made (Continued From Page 1) tive for the act unless it should be an attempt to intimidate him, or to terrorize him in revenge for his activities against the operation of slot machines in Montgomery and the State. The jurist said he spent a restful night last night. He spoke with feeling of the courage of his wife who has borne up bravely under the terrifying situation.

Mrs. McCord yesterday, he said, was about her work as usual at home, alone most of the time, and spent most of the day canning peaches. "We are going to remain at home," Judge McCord said, "and we don't need any guards." Outraged at the effort to terrorize the jurist deputies under orders of Sheriff Sam Stearns yesterday seized seven slot machines, which were hidden and being operated in stores in various parts of the city. Indictments against the owners of the machines and proprietors of the places in which they were operated, will be sought during the special session of the Grand Jury. Immediately following the selzure of the machines several other places were visited by the officers, but no machines were found.

The proprietors, it was said, bad speedily disposed of or hidden the machines when news of the seizure spread. The raids were made by Deputies Hayden Sellers and Addie Moseley. Judge Walter B. Jones, of the Montgomery Circuit Court, and associate of Judge McCord's, has been equally as energetic in the fight against the slot machine racket. Judge Jones, it was learned, prepared the Davis Anti-Slot Machine bill with the assistance of Representative Davis, of Macon, and Judge McCord.

Judge Jones yesterday charged the Grand Jury to investigate thoroughly the shooting into the home of Judge McCord and the evidence submitted regarding operation of the slot machines. Paul Rapport, chief of detectives of the Montgomery Police Department, said last night that his department had not been given any information concerning the gunman's car. Word reached city detectives last night, Chief Rapport said that a shot had been fired into the house of Mrs. Susie Stowers, who lives across the street from Judge McCord, at the same time the volley was fired into home of the Judge. It was the first police had heard of this, Chief Rapport said, and detectives would be set to work early today to determine whether or not this were true.

Historic 80-Year-Old Church Will Begin Crumbling Today (Continued From Page 1) minister, and William Sayre, elder of the Presbyterian Church. A petition of appeal, circulated in the city in the Spring of 1823, brought donation of $788, a considerable sum for the small town. Among those who contributed were Andrew Dexter, John Martin, Benjamin Fitzpatrick, William Graham, James Fariss, W. R. Ross, John Edmundson, John Goldthwaite, B.

S. Bibb, William McLemore, A. B. Scott, and Robert Campbell. Subscribers met on July 10 of that year.

Trustees elected were William Sayre, N. E. Benson, E. D. Washburn, William Graham, William Cook, G.

R. Brown and Henry Goldthwaite. William Sayre, G. R. Brown, and Clement Billingslea were named a board to contract for building.

Erection was begun late in the year on a structure 48 by 24 feet but there was much delay in construction and it was not ready for occupancy until 1825. A few rough seats were placed in the building. Several members of the congregation brought their own chairs. Methodists used this house for five years, jointly with Baptists and Presbyterians. The former denomination gained possession of the church after the others had made plans for their own houses.

Shortly after completion of the city's first theater, the Methodists attempted to purchase the building for church purposes. This aroused the ire of one of the stockholders such an extent that he threatened to defeat the Methodists' plan to buy the lot upon which the church (Union) was located, to be offered at auction by a real estate company. Some of the Methodists attended the auction but were outbid by Gen. John Scott. To their surprise, Gen.

Scott made them a gift of the lot. The union church building proved too small, so members procured a subscription of $800 despite financial handicaps, and also borrowed $1,000 from J. B. Leavins, of Mobile. In March of that year contract for the new church was let.

It was completed the next Spring. Except for the generosity of Nell Blue the bullding later would have been sold by the contractor. The building was dedicated March 1, 1835. This structure served until 1853 when the present church was commenced. In the early 70's the architecture Was changed, and the spires added.

The Sunday School annex was built in 1906. TOLAN SETS FAST PACE CORNWALL, Aug. Eddie Tolan, flashy negro sprinter from the University of Michigan, led Ralph Adams, of Hamilton, to the tape by eight feet in the 100-yard dash at the Canadian Legion track and field meet today, Tolan's time was :09 4-5, GERMAN OFFICIALS APPROVE CREDITS Commentators See In Action A Possibility Of FrancoGerman Pact BERLIN, Aug. German official circles today expressed great satisfaction at news that France and the United States have granted Great Britain rediscount credit of $250,000,000. German commentators saw in this action renewed evidence that a FrancoGerman understanding is not as impossible as pessimists picture it to be.

The argument advanced here is that France knew very well England would use this credit to freeze her short term credits in Germany, In other words France's agreement to participate in the English discount credit is taken as An indication of her willingness to help stabilize conditions in Germany at the same time as she is helping the Bank of England out of a tight place. In some high places here it is insisted that the sudden withdrawal of $150,000,000 in gold from the Bank of England during the last two weeks and the transfer of this immense sum to France was not, as alleged, Machiavellian work on the part of France but was caused by the panicky feeling of Spanish and South American capitalists. Paris then seemed to be the only safe place in the world even though little or no interest could be paid on deposits. France, far from causing withdrawals from London, according to these German officials, has come to the help of England and through her indirectly to the help of Germany, for France realized that hoarding too much gold in one place might so restrict the circulation of currency that only a new inflation could point the way out. France, it is argued here, has had its taste of inflation and wants no second one -not even in contiguous territory-and hence she now is willing to abandon her isolation, overlook her chagrin at the fact that England helped the Austrian creditanstalt, and help put credit conditions of the world in order.

That J. P. Morgan's hand was a factor in fixing things up between England and France is taken for granted here. LINDBERGHS START ON ANOTHER LEG OF ORIENT FLIGHT (Continued From Page 1) northeastward over the Bering Sea. This route is frequently lashed by gales and hidden by fogs.

Jones, Fort Worth, Texas, fliers, who were forced down here on their second attempt at a non-stop refueling flight from Seattle to Tokyo, will not try the hop again, they said today. After sleeping soundly for five hours and a half, but still showing the effects of their 27 hours in the air, the Texans were cheered to learn their refueling plane had landed at Ruby, Alaska, after they lost it in the fog early today. Dropping their white monoplane Fort Worth through hole in the clouds which covered a large part of the Yukon River Valley, Robbins and Jones landed here at 7:35 a.m. (11:35 a.m., Montgomery time) after almost 27 hours in the air since their takeoff from Seattle early yesterday. James M.

Mattern and Nick Greener, pilots of their refueling plane set down at Ruby, a settlement on the Yukon about halfway between Fairbanks and Nome to take on additional gasoline after battling fogs and clouds which shrouded mountain passes and valleys leading into Unalakleet, on Norton Sound. After they landed, the weather closed down completely and the fliers were unable to get off again. Meanwhile the Fort Worth cruised around through cloud and fog banks over the Lower Yukon and, concluding the refueler had become lost, returned to Fairbanks and gave up their second non-stop SeattleTokyo attempt. Mattern and Greener landed at Ruby at 2:30 a.m, (6:30 a.m., Montgomery time). One refueling contact had been made between Fairbanks and Kaltag, which is about 75 miles from Unalakleet, and 100 gallons of gasoline were transferred.

The weather conditions which forced abandonment of the second attempt were local and not indicated by weather forecasts. Had the fliers been able to cross the mountain range between Kaltag and Norton Sound, they would have had clear weather much of the way to Tokyo.
