Already, a committee of five has obtained signatures of more than 80,000 Ohioans to a petition proposing a rhangc in the definition of an Intoxicant to one containing more than 2.75 per cent of alcohol by weight. If the required number of signatures are secured, this measure would automatically be Introduced in the legislature In January. Members of this committee are S. P.

Zora Cummlngs, Toledo and Edgar Johnson, Cincinnati. The present state law defines an intoxicant as a beverage containing more than one half of one per cent of content.

A suggestion has been made Hint changing of thi Crabbe Act might be delayed an appeal to the Ohio supreme court, bul thcro remains the probability that before any such action were taken by opponents, a rendered by the supreme court of guiding decision would have been the United States. Brandy, whiskey, and other stronger drinks could be legaliwd In Ohio only after repeal of the 18th amendment. A majority popular vote would be required to repeal Ohio's constitutional prohibition provision. EXTRADITION OF FUGITIVE BURNS IS TURNED DOWN (Concluded From Page One the arguments, I am constrained to deny extradition." The room instantly was turned Into a bedlam.

"1 appreciate it very much," The governor In the meantime had retired to his own chambers, where Burns and his mother asked permission to see him, They were taken to the executive chambers, whre they both shook hands with Moore and thanked him. "The way to thank me," Moore responded. "Is to live as a good citizen. Never mind the publicity stuff. As long as you live the life or a decent citizen of New Jersey, I'll not sign a warrant for your return to Georgia." "I won't exploit this decision for my own benefit," Burns promised.

"I thank everyone for their help from the bottom of my heart." In another room there was an en tirely different scene. John Kelly, assistant attorney general of Georgia, was seated, weary and visibly downcast by the decision. "We're at the end of our rope," was his only comment. Officials in Georgia, however, had more to say, according to word here, with Gov. Richard B.

Russell, showing incredulous surprise. He was quoted as saying: "It is my understanding of the United States constitution that 1n the case of a convicted criminal, properly Identified, granting of such a requisition is mandatory."

Out of this fund the attending physician keeps up an automobile for making calls, During the long summer recess of 1931, he visited Boston hospitals. One of his assistants spent three weeks at the University of Wisconsin for special study. Board and room and the tost of an automobile trip there were turned in as a legitimate charge against the House appropriation.

Other trips by members of the staff were made to New York, and Princeton university. In four years time Dr. Calvcr has been able to equip modern treatment room In the capltol.

Persian oil is, producing friction again, this time between Britain and Persia, with Russia and th: United States watching closely from the sidelines. And the center of the controversy Is one of the strangest of the world's crop of post war statesmen, He Is Rlza Shah, the combination Mussolini and Muslapha Ke mal who sits In the Persian saddle and twists the lion's tall.

This new self made master of Persia, In a curt, abrupt note, canceled British oil contracts in Persia, of 30 years' standing, and replied to British protests with such blunt defiance that the British government would not publish the text. Unless the cancellation li withdrawn, Britain has announced she will refer the dispute to the permanent court of international Justice at The Hague, "as a matter of urgency." In a stern note, it warned Rlza that Persia will be held accountable for damage to British property, and that in the event of such damage Britain "will regard Itself entitled to take such measures os the situation might demand." Tn the past no more strenuous language than that has often mean! "war," but British levelheadedness Is counted on to restrict this matter to arbitration. It was immediately denied that any cruisers had been specially ordered to the Persian Gulf. Three cruisers, the Enterprise, Emerald and Hawkins are nearby, but authorities denied their regular routes had been changed. Hardbolled, Charming The story of Rlza Shah might well be the thousand and second tale of tho Arabian nights.

He is a ruthless, hardbolled man of war with charming manners, who has never failed to make the niost of his opportunities. In youth he was a member of the Cossack DMstorB maintained In northern Persia by the Russian Czar as bodyguard for the Shah. Rlza was a private soldier, but accounts of his origins vary. Some say he was of lowly people, others that his family was wealthy and Influential, and that he was only serving a ca detshlp for experience. Rlza did do.

menial service, however, standing sentry duty at the doors of embassies, where he was undoubtedly used as a messengor, and probably got some first hand views of tho foreign Intrigues with which Persia has been rotten for 40 years. When the Russian revolution1 came, the Russian officers with his Cossacks were, left stranded. Riza seized his chance, proclaimed himself commander, and marched his troops to Teheran in 1021. A Self Made Shah As commander of the army, Rlza wa6 the head man of Persia, watching cabinets, ministers and parliaments come and go. He quarreled with tho British over the Anglo Persian oil concessions, and they withdrew their officers from the South Persian Rifles, Rlza Khan, as he had now become, took over that force, too, and everybody waited for Persia to fall Into chaos.

But Rlza Khun strengthened his army, ruthlessly suppressed 16 rebellions, made his tax collections stick, and laid the foundations for a stable state. Then, In 1025, while the last Shah, Sultan Ahmed Mirza, King of Kings and Hub of the Universe, was tasting the delights of Paris night life, Rlza crowned himself Shah, and made that stick, too. Under his efficient administration, Persia has gone steadily ahead ever since In progres; and power, with an efficient army at the core of the state. Thanks to this, Rlza Shah finds himself distinctly In the driver's seat during tho present controversy over oil concessions. He has great advantage that nobody knows Just where he stands.

When he made his revolution and become Shah, It was rumored that the Bri tish were backing him against Rus sia, but now that ho has talked so sharply to the British on the oil concessions, this seems less likely Between thirty and forty years ago, the powers of Europe realized that the Mure power of the world lay In oil, not coal. The' strong nad uitie oil, and tin great oil fields lay In weak coun tries like Rumania and Persia. The German Berlln to Bagdad railroad partly aimed at oil, was one of the World War causes. Persia became a fertile breeding ground for the nastiest Intrigues of Europe. government under the old Shahs was decadent, corrupt, Inefficient tottering.

Russia and Britain, especially were happy to help out the Shah, with one eye on fat concessions. Britain got Its first oil concessions In south Persia In 1801, later to become those of the Anglo Perclen Oil now In dispute The country was divided Into two "speres of Influence," Russian In the north, British on tho south, "Peaceful Penetration" With the World War and the cot lapse of Russia, It looked as though Britain had It all, as a barrier between India and Russia, But the Soviet government, rs soon ns It had suppressed counter revolutions and pacified its own country, took up right where the Czar had SELF MADE GAL TWO left off, and began a policy of "peaceful penetration" of northern Persia.

Rlza Shah's, peremptory cancellation of the Anglo Persian oil contracts, under which Persia gets 16 per cent of the net profits from their operations, is what has raised the present crisis, The British government owna a controlling stock Interest In Anglo Persian, Either thii revenue has fallen off due to depressed trade, or Rlza Shah has had a better offer from someone else. Arnorlcan Interests In Persia are not clear, either. As far took as 1811, W. Morgan Shuster was called to Persia to reorganize Its finances. He found a disreputable situation, with which he struggled briefly, only to bo driven out by Intrigues.
