ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 11 annual dispute between aeronauts and nude sun bathers here is on again. Complaints were filed with city officials today demanding that operators of the Goodyear Rubber dirigible, "Reliance," be prohibited from flyihg over the municipal solarium. The petitions alleged that men and women sun bathers were exposed to the gaze of the dirigible's passengers.

Pilot S. H. Sheppherd denied that he made a practice of deliberately flying over the solarium. He said passengers usually taken over the recreation pier make specific requests to Ise taken over the recreation pier which is near the solarium. Besides.

he said the ship flies so high sun bathers cannot be discerned from the wooden benches on which they lie. Police Chief R. H. Noel made a flight with him today and concurred in the assertion. The City Attorney said there was no law against an airship flying anywhere the pilot pleased over St.

By HEYWOOD BELL HAMPTON, Dec. 11 With unrestrained emotion, Prof Elisha Kent Kane today described the drowning of his wife, answered charges of culpability with assertions of heroic efforts to save her. and shouted denials to the judge of allegations by her relatives that he cursed her bitterly. Tears came to his eyes as ne testified in his trial for murder that he loved his wife and told of swimming with her to shore in a frantic effort to save her after she had gone down twice in the waters of Chesapeake bay. APOLOGIZES TO COURT He leaped from te stand to rush to the judge's bench to shout denials of using profanity or that he had ever called lais dog bY the name of a Deity.

He later apologized to the court for his outburst, stating that his he for the past three months had been extremely trying. "Pardon me, judge," he said as he resumed his at. "I have had to stand so much." Professor Kane occupied the witness stand for nearly three hours. During his cross-examination the court allowed the introduction of two letters exchanged between Kane and his wife during last summer, but overruled a motion by the prosecution for the introduction of the "Betty- Dahl letters by which the state hoped to establish a motive for murder.

'ONLY EQUITABLE WAY' Wakatsuki's Regime Resigns After Long Criticism. Nearly 197,000 Lbs. Tobacco Sold Here Friday. PROSPERITY IS GOAL NASHVILLE. Dec.

11 picture of patriotic Tennesseans bringing forth money from old shoes. socks, boxes and other hiding places and lending it to their state in its time of stress was panted today before the legislalature. which approved a financing plan similar to the Liberty -Loan drives of World War days. Both housos enthusiastically embraced proposals for Tennessee to float an unsold $5.000.000 bond 17sue amorg her own people, and the house of representatives 'went a step farther by voting for an additional issue to be marketed the same way. MATURE IN 10 YEARS In the senate, members adopted a resolution providing that -the issue be offered to -patriotic- Tennesseans in denomirations ranging from $100 to $5.000.

The obligations would be dated Christmas Day and would mature In D) years. The resolution also authorized appointment of a committee to work out details with the funding board and the Attorney General. Senator Grover Ault. of Eledasoe. author of the resolution, told the senate that throughout the years Tennesseans had always come to the aid of state and nation and that they would not fail now.

He offered to buy a $500 bond himself to start the ball rolling. Enter the house plan. which is virtually identical in principle with the senate resolution except for the interest rate and amount involvd. the funding board would be authorized to sell $10.000,000 of bonds direct to the people. Individuals, counties and cities to which the state owes money could accept the obligations in payment of the debts.

It would not be mandatory that WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 W.As menacing opposition to President Hoover's proposal for revision of war debts burst from Capitol Hill, Secretary Mellon tonight gave assurance that the administration was opposed to cancellation. During the day there came from leaders of both partiesmany high In the councils of the administrationfirm declarations against further debt relief for Europe under existing conditions. INQUIRY IS ASKED Secretary Mellon said in a statement President Hoover's recommendation to congress for recreation of the World War foreign debt commission carried no implication of cancellation. He said, however.

it was the duty of responsible officials to investigate the ability of the debtors to pay the money due this country under the present world-wide economic situation. He cited the financial status of Great Britain and other European nations and declared: "These instances should suffice to demonstrate that to stand on the letter of our bond, and to -refuse to investigate or to consider the facts. is to fail in our responsibility to the American people whom we represent and to the debtors whose capacity to pay we ourselves undertook to determine." PARLEY ARRANGED His statement followed closely an invitation of Undersecretary Mills of the treasury to back up with facts and figures for congressional leaders the statement of President Hoover that some European nations would not be in a position to pay their debt obligations after expiration of the moratorium. Mills arranged for a conference tomorrow, summoning Democratic leaders and some of his own party (Continued on Page 3, Col. 4) 11MMM GOLD BASIS IN PERIL CLOSE FOR WEEK-END President Says Program Has Remedies For Ills.

i I A group of about 100 of Knoxville's leading business and professional men yesterday unanimously voted in favor of appropriating city tax money for unemployment relief rather than raise it through the Penny club and one-cent plan proposed by City Manager Bass. The meeting at the Farragut hotel had been called by Mr. Bass and Charles J.

"It is a non-partisan program," he told newspapermen gathered about his desk, "I am interested In its principles rather than its details. I appeal for unity of action for its consummation." 'DEFINITE PROGRAM' The recommendations to 'which he referred were contained partially in his message to congress. Others he has expounded over the last few months.

Some are already la effect Some await congressional action. Tonight he drew them all together and massed them in what he termeda definite program for turning the tide of Reading at times from a prepared statement, which he held steadily and from. which he departed often. the President spoke swiftly but in a low even tone.

"is- to restore the old job instead of create a made Job, to help the worker at the desk as well as the bench. to restore their buying power for the farmers'. productsin fact. turn the processes of liquidation and deflation and start the country forward all along the line. OUTLINES PROGRAM "This program will effect favorably every man.

Dec. Reijiro Wakatsui's cabinet turned In its resignation today in the face of internal criticism agairkst its foreign and financial policies. Leaders of the Minseito (Government) and Selyukal (Opposition) parties went into conference at once to formulate a new ministry. and the present government continued until they had 'reached an agreement. The possibility that Japan might suspend the gold standard and levy restrictions on the exportation of gold wm foreseen in authoritative Quarters as one result of the turnover.

Specie shipments to the United States since October have totalled 304.000.000 yen OM and alarm has been felt for the currency structure. UNDER FIRE The Selyuksi party has pledged itself to abandon the gold standard if It comes to power, expressing concern over the continued outflow of the metal. It aliso favors a more rigorous 'policy in Manchuria, although that problem is sidetracked for the present by acceptance of the League's peace proposal. Three possible solutions in forming a new government were foreseen: Re-appointment of Premier Wakatsuki with a fresh list of ministers from Minseito party; a wholly Seiyukal ministry under the probable leadership of former Premier Korekiyo Takahashi; a coalition cabinet of both parties without Home Minister Kenz-o Abachi, storm-center of the dissention. If Premier Wakatsuki is again called to the helm.

it was predicted. he would again name Foreign Minister Shidehara and Finance Minister Inouye, both of whose official acts have been under fire. Mr. Inouye favors retention of the gold standard and opposes a gold embargo. Since the Wakatsuki ministry took over last April there has been outspoken criticism from without and within its ranks over its handling of the nation's affairs.
