GANDHI SAILS FOR ENGLAND FOR PARLEYS Several Injured in Demonstration Against Indian Leader Upon His Departure BY JAMES A. MILLS BOMBAY, Aug. -The Mahatma M. Gandhi, clad only in India, 20 a loin cloth and a shawl and accompanied by his two goats, 'sailed for England today to plead the cause of India's swarming millions before the bar of His Majesty's government. Just before he left a dozen members of the "Red Flag Union" who were demonstrating against him were seriously injured when they were attacked and their banners burned near the pier by Nationalist supporters.

"I see nothing on the horizon to warrant hope," he said as he stepped aboard the S. S. Rajputana for the trip to London where he will attend the second round table conference to demand self -government for his native land. "I was born an optimist and I am hoping against hope. My faith is in God and He seems to have made my way clear for the go to London.

Therefore I 1 expect He will use me as His instrument for the service of humanity. For me the service of India is Identical with the service of humanity." Gandhi walked through masses of cheering people up the gangplank to his quarters on the second-class deck. His scarf was thrown loosely across shoulder and a watch dangled from his waist. The goats were in charge of Miss Madeline Slade, his English disciple, who will restrict him to a diet of milk, nuts and fruit during the trip. He was handed his passport, describing him as a barrister by a specially deputized officer.

Affixing his signature, he laughed and remarked "debarred barrister." After studying law in London, he was admitted to the bar in 1981 but was disbarred in 1922 after his caustic utterances in behalf of the Indian independence. Before he left his house his supporters held a giant farewell meeting. He told them from a balcony that he would try to be worthy of the enormous trust the people had reposed in him, saying: "I am a crippled man but it is natural that a crippled nation should have a crippled delegate." A few hecklers shouted "Shame, Gandhi, boycott the round table," but they were silenced by the enthusiasm of his adherents. His house hummed with activity and Miss Slade was the busiest person there as she supervised the packing of his luggage and other details of his departure. The casualties occurred when about 50 members of the radical organization marched toward the waterfront carrying banners that denounced Gandhi and the Nationalist Congress.

And "British some of them read "Gandhi goes to London his bended knees," and "Down with Gandhi." When the procession reached the pier Nationalists who had been trailing along attacked the marchers tore their banners away from them, and belabored them with staves and their fists. "Though congress may be repudiated by sections of people in India," Gandhi said, "it aims to represent the whole of India and therefore to deserve the trust reposed in me and imposed upon me, I shall endeavor to represent every interest that does not conflict with the interests of the dumb millions for which the congress predominantly exists. "I hope the provincial governments, the civil service and English mercantile houses will help the congress to realize the mission it has set before itself. Representing as the congress does the message of non-violence and truth, it can only succeed by the good-will of all the component of the nation and I am thereparts that that good-will will fore hoping be extended to this humble representative on his errand." No Decision On Marketing Issue Reached (Continued From Page One) Council revealed that the market the had been discussed in an inquestion formal sort of way. It was gathered that the members finally went home one whit nearer the solution of not the marketing evil which Ands the city administration torn between the of constituent merchants on the Are hand and who it is alone deemed imprudent to arouse by ways harsh legislation, on other.

clerk of the Council said toThe day that the members took no concerted action but stood around in and discussed a variety of groups matters. This, however, was after the chairman of the public welfare committee which has had the marketmatter under consideration had ing left the building. The Council recognizes now that 1 it has no right to make the farmer patronize the market and to rule him off the streets during the hours that the market it open. State lawyers have informed the city that Dr. Garnett's suggested ordinance is illegal.

The next alternative, to compel the huckster to take his stand at the market is deemed unwise. The ordinance in amended form as presented by Mr. Meade last night (but not bearing his approval) was never brought to a vote. Mr. Townes moved to table it but Mr.

Meade strategically substituted the amendment by withdrawing the document altogether so that the meeting came to an end without anything being done except to adopt a resolution passing along to the Danville bluecoats the duty of enforcing existing ordinances. Today therefore the marketing situation remains much as it has with apparently small prospect of any way being found out of a difficult wilderness still resounding with cries of "action" from the grocery contingent and "leave us alone" from the farmers. I New Move To Find Remedy For Two South Carolina Political Leaders Move in Separate Channels to Bring Aid COLUMBIA, S. C. Aug.

(P) Two South Carolina political leaders moved in separate channels today as they sought a remedy for the cotton price situation. At the call of Gov. Ibra C. Blackwood, farmers were invited to gather at the 46 county seats and "express themselves" on the executive's proposal to call a special session of the general assembly to act on the commendation of Gov. Huey P.

Long, of Louisiana, that cotton planting in 1932 be prohibited by law. Senator E. D. Smith, ranking democrat on the senate agricultural committee, left last night for Washington where, he asserted, he intends to "fight it out': with the fram board and other agencies in an effort to secure adoption of his cotton relief plan. Senator Smith would have the of cotton from farmers who would farm board purchase Do 8,000,000 bales sign a legal contract not to plant cotton next year.

AIR CARNIVAL GETS STARTED AT CLEVELAND Speed Events Tomorrow to Feature Ten-Day Aerial Circus By OSCAR LEIDING CLEVELAND, Aug. can aviation donned its circus trappings today for a 10-day carnival of sport and speed. The 1931 national air races ronred into being on a background of massed maneuvers and individual aerobatics.

Inauguration of the speed contests, backbone of the classic and heralded as promising new American or world records before the end of the meet, will not take place until tomorrow. First place on the opening program was given to a welcome for airdom's newest heroes, Russell Boardman and John Polando who flew non -stop from New York to Istanbul, Turkey, for world distance record. Military fliers, though banned from competition, were allotted an hour and a half for demonstrating their precision in formations and tactical maneuvers. The navy had its "striking eagle" squadron, winners of the Schiff trophy for safe flying, the Marines squadron of fighters in command of veteran of early air race days, Lieut. Sanderson, and the air corps picked list of pursuit squadrons.

Initial attack on the purse of 000 which has been posted for all events centered on a daily exhibition by civilian stunt fliers of their prowess in aerobatics, winners being picked by the spectators. Following a half-hour display of novelty flying by a fleet of autogiros, the aircraft with the whirling "windmill" paddles, the air was left free for Lieut. A. J. Williams, former navy speedster and inverted-flying ace, and his tearn of European fliers.

A blank file in the band's exhibition was forced on the eve of the formal race opening when Flight Commander Richard Atcherly, Britain's representative, was injured while testing his plane. Sustaining cuts and bruises, wound on the head requiring 14 stitches to close, he was due to remain in a hospital for at least a day. Interest for novelty in airplane design centered on the all-metal racer brought over by Captain Boleslaw Orlinski, Poland's hero of a Warsaw -toTokyo flight. His plane is fitted with a single. lending the appearance of a bird in flight and giving the pilot extra visibility because of its sweeping depression in the center.

It 16 similar to a late type of combat ship developed for the United States navy and air corps. A lone woman, 20-year-old Dorothy Hester, Portland, protege of 'Tex' Rankin, was given place on the opening day's program for the beginning of a daily series of involved stunt flights. For the inauguration of the speed three courses have been contests, laid out with the start and finish lines in view of the spectators. One outlines a mile course, one a fivemile course, and the third a threekilometer course for straightaway speed dashes for record assaults and qualifying trials. City's Tennis Classic is Set For 3:30 Today Danville's annual tennis "classic" is scheduled to be played at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon when Dr.

Budge Kent and Chas. Evans, will clash in a match to decide the city championship for another year now held by Kent. Dr. Kent regained it last year by defeating Chas. Evans, who earlier in the tournament had won from Riddle, at that time city champion.

For the second successive season Kent and Evans. as holders of the city and tennis club championships respectively will fight it out for city supremacy, Evans having defeated Kent earlier in the summer thus retaining his title as club champion, which he won last year. Evans won yesterday afternon from Riddle in two hard fought sets by a 7-5, 6-4 score, neither player, however, showing nis best playing form. Owing to the delay in the tournament occasioned by rain, Kent went to the finals in easy fashion, his hardest opponent, David Ragland, being forced to default before their match could be played because his vacation had come to an end. Tennis fans were greatly disappointed at not being able witness this match which it was felt would give one of the best exhibitions of tennis ever seen in Danville.

The match this afternoon which will be for the first three out of five sets, will be played on the grounds of the Danville tennis club between Virginia and College avenues, and the public 1s cordially invited to witness the play. One consolation round match was played yesterday afternoon in which Dillon Barnett defeated Billy Parker by a 6-3, 6-1 score. Several other matches remain to be played in the consolation tournament to decide who will win the tennis racket donated by R. A. White Sport Shoppe.

Very little progress has been made in the doubles tournament because of rain, and it is hoped that these at promptly as possible so they can be matches will get under way 83 played off before some fthe players find it necessary to leave the city to return to school. Charles and Kerr Stewart Evans were scheduled to play Mortimer Harrison and D. L. Buchanan Wednesday but the match was raine dout They will probably play Monday. Two first round matches are still to be played in which Herman Lea and Harry Collie will meet "Boss" Riddle and Mortimer Hard son, with Ballou Bagby and Conrad Hurd playing Harry Spencer and Meriwether Jones.

Should the courts not be in condition early enough this afternoon to permit the singles finals to be played, it 18 possible that some of the doubles and consolation round matches may be played At a later hour, as they will require less time.

When informed the bodies had been found, Pierson merely shrugged his shoulders and told Chief of Police C. o.

Duckworth that he hadn't d-d thing to say." Crowds gathering about the city jail when news of the Anding of the bodies was circulated, prompted officers to remove Pierson to the county jail. Pierson, also known 48 Harry S. Powers, was arrested here Thursday at the request of Park Ridge, police. He admitted he knew Mrs. Elcher and that he was a frequent visitor "on pleasure trips" to Chicago.

Pierson. P. O. Box 277, Clarksburg, W. Va." CHICAGO, Aug.

curlosity of neighbors, aroused by the visit of a suave stranger to the home of Mrs. Asta Elcher in suburban Park Ridge and the subsequent disappearance of the widow and her children, caused police to raise the curtain on a gruesome mystery which reached a denouement in Clarksburg, W. with the finding of four bodies. Four years ago Mrs. Elcher's husband, a silversmith of long standing in the village of 10,500 population, died and left her a comfortable home, three children, and an income.

Of an artistic inclination, Mrs. Eicher, her friends said, sought to appease her grief and loneliness in music and painting. She frequently spoke of admirers, friends said, but no one appeared publicly until June 22. On that day, came a strangerknown as Cornelius O. Pierson, polished, gentle mannered and attractive.

"Oh, he's just an old friend of the family," was Mrs. Elcher's reply to questions As to his identity. On June 27, the man departed. On June 28, Mrs. Eicher left, ostensibly "to visit relatives in Denver." The three children were left in the care of a nurse and a roomer, Jack Williams.

Two weeks ago, the man returned and started to store the house furnishings in a garage. Questioned by neighbors, he said the house had been sold and that Mrs. Eicher would not return. Chief of Police Harold W. Johnson investigated.

Pierson showed him papers, the officer said, to prove that the house was sold. Nevertheless, Chief Johnson asked Pierson to call at the police station the next day. The man did not show up, but Mrs. Etcher's neighbors told Chief Johnson that the three children had been dressed in their best clothes and driven that morning by the stranger in an automobile bearing West Virginia license plates--later found to have been stolen--and loaded with the youngsters' luggage. Several days later, police broke into the Elcher home.

What they found caused Chief Johnson to swear out warrants charging Pierson with three kidnapings and one case of manslaughter. A packet containing dozens of love letters, most of them signed by Pierson, was found in the Elcher garage. The letters were ardently written and spoke of the writer's vast wealth and his desire for A home. Marriage WAS discussed in the letters with the latest postmarks. Several other letters were found, supposedly from other men whom Learn Much Graf Primed For Non-stop Hop to South America FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany Aug.

About Where Money Went (Continued From Page One) during the campaign. Basil Manly, a committee investigator, put into the record charts asserting that the churchman diverted many thousands of dollars to his personal accounts, used some of it to pay personal notes and to pay some of the beneficiaries of an estate for which he was the executor. Two other witnesses from Virginia congressional districts, H. G. Luhring of Norfolk, and Dr.

S. E. Hughes of Danville, testified that as leaders in the anti-Smith movement in their areas they had no knowledge of $4,500 and $4,000 the bishop had said in a statement to the press had been spent in those districts. In his final appearance before the committee, Manly exhibited another chart which he said indicated that Bishop Cannon had peer. repaid 607.71 more by the democrats headquarters committee than he had loaned it.

Eugene L. Crawford, general secretary of the Board of Temperance and Social service of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, of which Bishop Cannon is chairman, said several hundred dollars of board money had been loaned the bishop prior to the Asheville conference but that it later had been repaid. What action the committee will take toward Miss Burroughs and Peters, who Identified himself as a minister, before refusing to testify, will not be determined until the committee meets again. Miss Burroughs, just as last spring when she declined to tell the committee of the affairs of the headquarters committee of the anti-Smith democrats, of which she filed reports as treasurer, again presented the committee with a prepared statement which she asked permission to read. The statement said the records of the committee after remaining in her possession for two years were turned over to Bishop Cannon and that she had no knowledge of their present whereabouts.

As before, the statement denied the right of committee to inquire into the "private transactions" of the bishop and she replied to all questions with a refusal to comment. Petera followed a similar course, He submitted a statement denying that he had violated the corrupt practices act and asserting the committee had no right to pursue the inquiry. He also refused to reply to questions. Harry F. Sinclair, millionaire oil operator, served a sentence in jail for refusing to testify before a Senate committee.
