SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. Gathered for a peaceful discussion of humane problems, state dele gates to the annual convention of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, today adjourn ed in an uproar, when a split developed over the anti-rodeo bill. Ray Marsh, the president of the society threatened Mrs. Louise Dobbins, a delegate, with bodily violence.

Others attending engaged hi a verbal melee sprinkled with terse epithets of anger which fell short of an actual riot only when the meeting was hastily adjourned. The delegates began to mislay their tempers when a discussion arose concerning alleged ill treatment of animals at rodeos. A resolution in favor of the anti-rodeo bill to be submitted on the ballot had been adopted when Mrs. Dobbins arose to protest the action and speak against the bill. WOMAN REFUSED RIGHT TO SPEAK.

Marsh didn't wish to hear what Mrs. Robbins had to say and refused her the floor. First, according to report, he told her to sit down. "I won't," was Mrs. Dobbins' retort.

Then she reminded the president that she was the head of the S. P. C. at Monterey, and that she had a right to speak. "Keep still or we shall have to throw you out," Mursli said.

"Who'll throw me out?" asked Mrs. Dobbins. "I will," said Marsh. In the midst of the uproar that followed the meeting somehow became adjourned. It was immediately followed by a minority meeting which, led by Mrs.

Dobbins and C. M. Brown, secretary of the Monterey Chamber of Commerce and a director of the S. P. C.

The story of the battle, which was told by Brown, is in part de-nUM by Marsh, who says he merely threatened to "throw anyone out wno interrupted the meeting." Walter H. Osborne, secretary ol the Oakland S.

P. C. was a near victim of Marsh's proclivities as. a "bouncer" at a previous session, Brown said. Marsh threatened to throw Osborne out when he had.

protested against the showing of a rodeo film as a part of S. P. C. A. propaganda.

"I made the protest because the motion picture in question was taken 20 years ago, and practices depicted there have long since been abolished," said Osborne last night. "1 do not think tho film gave a true picture of the present situation." I TO QUIT NAVY Aide to President Wilson Asks Retirement From Service.

2tl. The Republican invasion of the solid south at this week-end continues and accumulates. It is a signpost to the fundamental nature of the whole presidential campaign of this year. Senator Borah, Monday night. speaks at Dallas, Tex.

It is possible further that a hall-storm of minor speakers may bs let loose by the Republicans throughout Virginia In the last days of the contest. These forays, and many other similar ones, with them, will bo official. They will proceed directly from Republican national headquarters. Additionally, and) quite beyond them, there are the numerous northern prohibition exhorters brought boldly down Into tbe southland by the southern anti-Smith Democrats; "CARPET BAGGER" CRY IS NOT HEARD.

It is manifest that the menacing word "carpet bagger" has ceased to strike the Northern political invader dead at the gateways of Dixie. It la manifest and admitted, on top of all this, that both political parties today are equally soliciting the votes of the Negro population. The Republican! have to do it in order to hope to carry states like Tennessee. The Democrats have to do it in order to hope to carry states like New York. Both parties are in fact doing It with virtually parallel zeal everywhere.

At this writing it Is an open question which party In the end will draw to itself a majority of the suffrage of the Negro voting citizens. These two facts the presence of Republican foxes In the vineyard of the south and the presence of Democratic wolves In the sheep fold of the Negro vote attest a revolution in American politics. MRS. WILLEBRANDT'S SPEECHES UNCHECKED. It is further attested by the continued unchecked activity of Mrs.

Wlllebrandt. Criticism of her within the Republican party has been almost wholly ovorbonie -everywhere except in the northeast by a roar of Republican approval. The Republicans have no speaker more demanded by local Republican committees and clubs than Mrs. Wlllebrandt. This is partly because, sentence for sentence, she can speak mora pepper and mustard than any othejf speaker In the Republican ranks.

If ever a woman's tongue came to its feminine own In politics, fbr audacious pitch and point, it is Mrs. Willebrandt's. The more fundamental reason, however, for the multitudinous requests for her services is that th local Republican committees and clubs In most parts of the country realize perfectly that their main chance for carrying their communities for Hoover lies precisely in the sort of message that Mrs. Wlllebrandt spreps. Senator Borah, greatest of Republican speakers, less armed with the stilletto than Mrs.

Willebrand but more armed with the majestic battle axe, Is In fact propagating precisely the same gospel that Mrs. Wlllebrandt purveys, only doubled. BORAH PREDICTS PROHIBITION PLUS Senator JBorah talks, indeed, abcut farm relief and about the resplendent Intellectual talents of Herbert Hoover, but those efforts on his part are merely Incidental. The big burden of his prophesying Is prohibition plus. Th plus is anti-Immigration.

Those two themes are deliberately the prime themes at this mp-ment of Senator Borah's eloquence. They are twi but they are aimed at one anal the same target. They are aimed at the voting element which has for its twin connected achievements in recent American politics the putting dowr of the saloon bars and the putting up of the ration bars. The element is equally against the legalized liquor and the thirsty European Incomer. Senator Borah is firing for it with both barrels.

And now note: He Is firing for 1932 as much as for 1128. This campaign cannot be understood except through a consideration et its calculated bearing upon future campaigns.

20. Kidnaping Russell T.

One suspected murder is charged to their credit.

Last 'night, the same pair, it Is believed, separated Charles Price, ifi" Hush street, from a woman friend, told her to "bent it home," took Price to Geary and Blake streets, robbed hint of hit automoblle and threw him out. i WHson, his clothing drenched with blood, and In a half-dazed condition, recovered consciousness today, about an hour after, the attack, staggered Into the street and collapsed In i front of an automobile, the occupants of which brought him to police headquarters. Wilson's story sent every available police agency in trie city into action in "a hunt, for the robbers. The kidnaping occurred in plain sight of at least fifty persons, marty of whom witnessed the affair, but were that man was being forced Into the grey sedan which was narked at the i euro- Wilson, operates the "Russell Cake Pie Shops" had drawn the $4000 frqni a bank at Oeary and Jones streets earlier in the day, to pay certain bills. TRIED TO RETURN MONEY TO BANK.

Busy at the store headquarters, at 820 Post street, he' was unable to transact the business he had Intended, and late this evening attempted to return the money to the bank. He drove to Jones and Geary streets in 'his machine and got out almost in front of the bank from which, earlier in the day, he had drawn the money. As he did so, two men alighted from a grey sedan, slapped him Jovially on the back, as If he was an old friend and urged Jilm 'toward their car. As Wilson held back, one of tbe men jabbed him In the ribs with the noseof ai revolver, carefully concsabid, frojri (he kcrpw 1 of late' shoppers and muttered in his ear: "You hold back, and you'll be a corpse."

VICTIM BEATEN WITH GUN BUTTS.

At the spot selected, the men suddenly set upon Wilson, beat him Into insensibility with the. butts of their weapons, rifled his pockets of the $4000 which was in greenbacks and coin, dragged him from the sedan and dumped him unconscious In a vacant lot. It was something more than an hour later that Wilson, recovered consciousness, and unable to orient himself, staggered into the street, and fell on hands and knees In front' of an approaching automobile, which narrowly missed running over him. The driver Jumped out of the car and aided Wilson to his feet. "Robbed police," murmured Wilson.

The driver placed him In the car -and drove i with him to the emergency hospital and then to police, headquarters where Wilson made a report of the robbery. The police believe that he was "shadowed" most of the day by thugs who saw him draw tbe money out the bank. By DREW PEARSON. Special Correspondent The Oakland TRIBUNE WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.

An in ternational link up of narcotic secret service agents, by which information regarding "dope" smugglers will be flashed to 11 different countries, has just been negotiated by the state department. Although Seeretary Kellogg has not yet made public the details of the new international smuggling trap, announcement will be made shortly of two diplomatic precedents created by the arrangement. The first is the exchange of se cret Information direct between the police organizations of each coun try without using the state depart ment or foreign office as Inter mediaries. The second is the voluntary divulging of information by the United States, intended to help incriminate American citizens abroad and lead to their arrest and conviction. SECRET SERVICE IS ALREADY OPERATING.

This international arrangement, although still unannounced, actually is already functioning now with most of the participating countries. They are Great Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Czecho-Slavokia, Denmark and the free city of Danzig. Dnnzlg, although representing only a very small area, is one of the most 'notorious centers for dope smuggling in Europe and due to Its location and international character has been the distributing point for a considerable portion of the narcotics which seep Into the United States from Europe. Simultaneously it has beconie known that John Caldwell, far eastern opium expert, who recently returned from representing the United States at the sessions of the Geneva opium conference, will be retained in the state department for the next three years In charge bf international bpium problems. STATE DEPARTMENT WELL PLEASED.

State department officials are known to be much pleased with the conclusion of arrangements. It is the result of an effort of several years to obtain greater cooperation from "Europe in curtailing illicit narcotics. During most of this period, the United States has differed vigorously with Europe, and on one occasion, this difference led to the withdrawal of Representative Stephen G. Porter from the first opium conference at Geneva. The point at issueon this oocasion was a refusal of Great Britain to bring about an immediate curtailment of the Indian opium crop, the United States maintaining that the only way narcotic struggling could be stopped was by doing away with the original source, namely with opium.

United Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, 20. The National Episcopal council today adopted program for a worldwide spiritual revival in 1 828. The convention council voted to participate with the Federal Council of Cliurches of America on all evangelic matters and thereby pledged its church to work with other protestant churches in the movement for, "old fashioned religion." The council took the attitude this haa not been a religions age and indifference to Christianity must be ended. Bishops explained that while tbe world in general Is not sacrlllglons, the irreligious trend is increasing.

The house of bishops and the house of deputies of the council will meet Monday to adopt a permanent program on Christian unity, with a special department for attracting young people to church service. Two other important matters will come before the. convention before It adjourns on October 25, four days ahead of schedule. It will consider the relation of church to Industrial labor and consider a $16,000,000 budget for missionary work during the next three years. Little opposition has been presented to the $13,000,000 three-year program to carry out missionary work already nnder way, hut in some quarters the bishops and clergy suggested a committee be appointed to study where new missionary work should be developed before an additional $3,000,000 Is appropriated for extensions- The house of bishops has selected Denver, for the national Episcopal conference In 1931 and named four missionary bishops, the Rev.

Norman S. Binstead. Holy Trinity church, Toklo, to be missionary bishop of Japan; the Rev. William 6. Thompson, Suffragan bishop of South Brazil, to be bishop of that district; the Rev.

Frederick D. Goodwin. Warsaw, to be bishop of Nevada, and the Rev. George H. Thomas, Chicago, to be bishop of Wyoming.

Hl Secrets of Troy's Attack. By AD SCHUSTER. The men of Troy marched up the state With twenty thousand men; The men of Troy then turned round And marched back home again. A hard fighting, spectacular team, which put its main reliance on a eerles of plays to feature the fleet-footed Don Williams came up to Berkeley yesterday afternoon possessors of the long-end of the odds, the favor of the critics, and the confidence of the Southland. They met In the California Bears a team which grev better as the game progressed, one Which rose in might and threw back every threatening attack upon Its goal line.

The score: California, 0. U. S. 0. As a result of this epochal battle Jn which neither eleven got within twenty yards of the other's goal and in which interceded passes, blocked kick, and sensational runs brought the 80,000 spectators to their feet again and again, two Conference teams remain rivals with Stanford for the crown and the Bears go past the mid-season mark with their goal line uncrossed.

V. S. C. GAINS MORE GROUND THAN 17. C.

A summary of the game will how that U. S. C. advanced the ball scrimmage for greater gains than California, that Lom outpunt-ed Hibbs and Williams, and that the greater part of the Trojan was In the process of learning the secret of the southern attack. It will show, also, that California was a team coming up, gaining In strength as It played, that It upset tfie -very best Troy had to offer, And was on the field delivering a punch in the last few seconds of Play.

From the spectators' point of view, it was an even haltlc, the superiority of the Trojans In one department being matched by that of the Bears In another, and from the California angle, it was moral victory. Inasmuch as 17. C. has been widely touted as a certuln winner. On the very first play, after Schmidt of California received Ap-eit's kick-off and returned it 25 yards, Lom, from punt formation, ran 13 yards around the Troy left end.

On tries at right end, Barr pat a yard and Lom made three. The call came for a punt and Lom booted one 44 yards. It landed exactly on the sideline and rolled out, a finely placed kick and it was 17. S. ball on their own 1 2 yard line.

20 YARD GAIN MADE BY SAUNDERS. Troy also made Its first offensive play effective when Saunders, behind perfect interference, went for 20 yards around the California right end. It came time for Don Williams, the big threat, and on his first attempt he lost a yard. On the next play, off left tackle, he made i and then came a heads-up but risky play, a short and quick punt with the whole Trojan eleven after it. Swartz blocked It, the ball bobbed In the air off his fingers, then rolled on the ground to be recovered by 17.

S. C. and for a first down. After a penalty of fifteen yards for holding, 17. S.

C. was back on its own 30-yard line, second down and 23 yards to go. A series of Don WHIIar plays, mostly off left tackle, was started. He made 16, then 6 and then 3, advancing Uie ball to first downs, despite tbe terrific handicap Imposed by penalty. It was right here that the southern team looked Its best, with tbe Bears unable to stop the gaps or spill tbe swift thrusts which sent the speedy Williams through the line and Into the clear.

That they were learning though was soon evidenced. Williams made 3 yards off left tackle, Schmidt stopping him and getting hurt in the act. Cockburn went in for Schmidt. SCHWARTZ HALTS HIM T(m EIGHT YARD LOSS. -n On the next start.

Williams was thrown back for a 2-yard loss. Then, when he ran back to get off forward puss, he was smeared by Schwartz for 8 yards loss. What had been for the Blue and Gold a most disheartening advance, was suddenly turned back In the opposite direction and Troy, with its fourth down, had 16 yards to go and mas on its own 46 yard line. Despite the beautiful rum of Williams, the southern men had not been able to get the ball out of their own territory. Williams kicked it out, punting 35 yards to Eisan.

who returned two. and it was California's ball on their 15 yard line. Hoff went in for Shaw at left tackle for 17. S. C.

Lom's pant went 45 yards, high and spinning, and Williams brought It back 5. Then Saunders, trying a wide end ran and going back to make the circle, was nafcbed for a 7-jnrd lo-s by Bancroft. Williams tried the line-plunging act and dashed bead on at guard to make a (Continued on Page 4-D. Col.
