HAUPTMANN IS GRANTED
STAY OF EXECUTION
Trenton, N. J., Oct. 15.—Bruno
Hauptmann’s execution was stayed in-
definitely today when the court of
errors and appeals granted him an
opportunity to appeal his conviction
in the Lindbergh kidnap-murder case
to the supreme court of the United
States.
The court gave Egbert Rosecrans,
one of the defense attorneys, 30 days
in which to ask the supreme court
to review allegations that Haupt-
mann’s constitutional rights were vio-
lated in the trial.
The order, which would have re-
turned the case to supreme court
justice Thomas W. Trenchard, trial
judge, for refixing of the execution
date, was stayed by the court of er-
rors and appeals, but will automati-
cally take effect on November 14 if
the appeal is not perfected by that
time.
Six days ago the court of errors
and appeals, in a unanimous opinion,
upheld Hauptmann’s conviction. The
state applied last Friday for the or-
der which was stayed today.
Rosecrans asked the court to pre-
vent return of the record until the
supreme court disposes of the case
or until “the further order of the
court.” His motion was opposed by
Assistant Attorney General Joseph
Lanigan, who asked that the oi'der
fix a definite time in which the ap-
peal must be taken.
Rosecrans agreed to the 30-day
period, and said he would “act with
dispatch.”
Should the supreme court refuse to
entertain Hauptmann’s appeal, the
newr electrocution date would be fixed
for some time late in December or
January.
RELIEF GRANTS
MAY CONTINUE
Washington, Oct. 15.—Continuance
of direct relief allotments to states
at least until December was in pros-
pect Tuesday oecause of the delay
in getting the work relief program
started.
Although Harry L. Hopkins had
insisted earlier that November 1
would see the entire 3,500,000 job goal
attained, together with liquidation of
the relief administration, works prog-
ress administration officials said they
did not expect more than 3,150,000 to
be at work by the end of the month.
This will still leave 350,000 to be
provided for, while additional aid to
states and communities is intended
to help them take over the remaining
load of unemployables. In addition,
relief funds will support those given
jobs for the two weeks or more ne-
cessary to put them on payrolls.
Relief officials indicated grants
would be made for the first half of
November, with subsequent allotments
depending upon the progress of the
works program.
NEGROES LOAD HOUSTON SHIPS
) Houston, Oct. 14.—Steamship op-
erators disclosed today that they had
entered into an 18-months contract
with the. Lone Star colored benevol-
ent association to furnish dock labor
here to replace striking members of
the International longshoremen’s as-
sociation.
The contract applying as yet only
to vessels on the deep sea trade would
not expire until March 31, 1937t The
I. L. A. is affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor while the
Lone Star is not.
Operators here were the first to an-
nounce a contract with an organiza-
tion to replace the I. L. A. It was
not known whether steamship men at
the other ports would take similar
action. Houston is one of the largest
ports affected by the strike of the
International longshoremen’s associa-
tion in Texas and at Lake Charles.
The strike began last Thursday.
Houston steamship men began load-
ing and unloading B vessels with non-
I. L. A. labor yesterday and the work
was accelerated today. About 1000
men were moving cargo while a large
force of police protected them. Strik-
ers picketed in the vicinity of the
turning basin but no disturbances
were reported.

SENATE LOCKED OVER LIQ-
UOR BILL AS SESSION ENDS
Austin, Oct. 15.—Rep. R. Emmett
Morse of Houston, house wet leader,
said tonight a house and senate con-
ference committee had agreed to at-
tach a general liquor control bill as
a rider to a bill amending the beer
law.
Morse said the agreed compromise
would authorize citizens of wet coun-
ties to hold local option elections to
determine if liquor should be sold by
the drink in bona fide restaurants
and hotels.
The action followed failure of a
conference committee on a senate bill
defining an open saloon to agree on
a report.
The action was taken as the first
special'session of the 44th legislature
rapidly drew to an end and Gov.
James V. Alfred called a new session
to begin at noon tomorrow.
Governor Allred called the new
session to consider old-age pensions,
providing necessary revenue for pen-
sions and such other subjects as he
might submit from time to time.
“Several days ago it became ap-
parent that, due to the congested con-
dition of the calendar and the magni-
tude of the problems voted on Aug.
24,” he said in a message, “you would
not be able to enact a workable old-
age pension law with revenues to sup-
port same during the remainder of
this first called session.
Barring the question of liquor, the
levy of a graduated tax on chain
'stores, after prolonged controversy,
stood out as the chief enactment of
the session. The tax ranges from
$19 for a single store to $750 on
each store in chains of 50 or more.
Hari-y Williams, Mr. and Mrs.
Clyde Craven, and Mrs. Sidney Frost
and daughter, Barbara Ann, of Aus-
tin spent the week end here with
relatives. Mrs. Craven and Mrs.
Frost are better known here as the
former Misses Martha and Eva Lee
Williams.

LEAGUE PLANS TO
LIMIT ALL IMPORTA-
TIONS OF WARSTUFFS
Geneva, Oct. 15.—Sanctions against
Italy assumed a form designed by
league leaders tonight to strike a
mortal blow at the capacity of Pre-
mier Mussolini to make war.
A League of Nations1* economic
sub-committee, mapping the first
stage of an economic boycott, began
to draw up a list of essential key
products which league countries will
be asked to deny Italy.
These materials are things Musso-
lini will need to manufacture muni-
tions and other implements of war.
Although he has factories of his own,
he is largely dependent upon for-
eign countries for the materials.
League leaders said they believed
if an embargo upon their exportation
to Italy is really watei'-tight, the ef-

fects on Italy’s capacity to continue
the war will soon be seen.
The list includes such things as
zinc, aluminuin, manganese, lead, iron
ore, tungsten and nickel.
Several delegates raised the im-
portant question of what will be the
attitude of countries who are not
members of the league when the em-
bargo on key px-oducts is actually put
into fox-ce. Thus the committee is
anxious conceiving the policy to be
pursued by the United States, Ger-
many, Japan and Brazil.
Implements of war have been bar-
red by President Roosevelt from ship-
ment to Italy and Ethiopia in his
neutx-ality proclamation.
BABY KIDNAPED BY EAGLE SAFE
Hugo, Minn., Oct. 15.—A nine-
month-old baby was safe today after
being kidnaped by an eagle and al-
most electrocuted when the bird col-
lided with high tension wires.
Victinx of the near-tragedy was
Darline Lindberg, who, wrapped in
a blaxxket, was lifted 20 feet in the
air by a huge American eagle. The
bird, weighted down by the 16-pound | 1,000,000 casualties from motor
load, was unable to clear a high ten- j dents in 1934, Noyes, asserted
sion wire. The high voltage elec-
trocuted the eagle, which volplaned
to the ground with the baby still
cultched in its talons.
Darline suffered only slight bruises
and scratches. The bii'd measured
nine feet from wing tip to wing tip.
NEWSPAPERS ASKED
TO LEAD DRIVE TO
CUT AUTO DEATHS
Chicago, 111., Oct. 15.—Only a thox*-
oughly aroused public opinion can
exile death from America’s highways,
Lynwood I. Noyes, president of the
Inland Daily Px'ess Association told
the organization Tuesday.
Noyes, publisher of the Ironwood
(Mich.) Globe called on the newspa-
pers of the country to lead the way
in a relentless campaign to check the
frightful toll of mortality and injur-
ies in automobile accidents until there
is some semblance of safety in mo-
toring.
Citing the indicated 1935 uptrend
over the 36,000 fatalities and nearly
press could do more than law and!
forcement officers in popular^
sane driving.
“It is worse than wax',” he saii
pointing out that at present rated
automobile deaths, a number equal
the entire population of Indianapf
Kansas City or St. Paul is wiped}
each decade.
He noted an awakening in the p]|
already reflected in increased aci
ties on the part of State legislat^
and highway officials and sugget
a new style in reporting accid<|
might speed the campaign.
“Hex'etofore newspapers have
a tendency to omit gruesome detaj
he said. “Train wrecks ,automc
accidents, fires, explosions and
like are accompanied by suffering
horrors that ax*e terrible to see.
porters have omitted details to s
readers.”
But idealistic journalism, he ad<j
might enable drivers and pedestx
to realize and fear rather than ce
the dangers that beset those who
and walk.

Martf cigarettes are smoked today because
more people know about them—they are better advertised.
But the main reason for the increase is that they are made
better—made of better tobaccos; then again the tobaccos
are blended—a blend of Domestic and Turkish tobaccos.
Chesterfield is made of mild, ripe tobaccos.
Everything that science knows about is used in
making it a milder and better-tasting cigarette.
We believe you will enjoy them!!
