Widespread strikes wfth half 'a million men oat and' repeated riots continued today in many parts of Spain but the attempt to " overthrow the monarchy' seemed decisively crushed and Kins Al fonso's crown appeared safe for the moment.

Hill, who sat on the case. .-- Arguments in the case, which started Tuesday mornlpg. - -were finished yesterday. At the con clusion of the hearing,' Judge Hill stated simply that he would have to take the matter under advise ment, and that no matter what the decision, he would rather an other would have to make it. The baby was given to Mr. and Mrs. Huettl shortly after birth. According to the arguments set forth yesterday by J. G. Heltxel and Walter Fuhrer, representing the Huettls, plaintiff agreed be fore birth of the child that the Huettls should adopt It. The de fense stressed also the ' fact that Mrs. Wood only recently took an Interest in the child.

Edison, always an advocate of prohibition, told, the reason tor his support again today in answer to six questions prepared by James K. Shields, su perintendent of the New Jersey Anti-Saloon league. . Prohibition, the Inventor said, has helped the nation's industrial and economic life "to a greater extent than realized." - In answering 'Decidedly yes." to a question asking whether pro hibition has improved the physi cal condition of children, Edison cited his personal experience as a manufacturer. , "On pay days before prohibi tion, he said, "hundreds of pale faced women, - shabbily dressed, some with faded shawls around their heads, appeared at enr fac tor at West Orange, They were waiting to get some of their hus AT COURT WILL HOLDS CARSON Mem'am's Disapproval Does - - Not Compel Firing of " Fruit Inspector Original Recommendation is Sufficient for Reten tion, is Opinion 8. II. Van Trump, county fruit inspector, holds his office at the pleasure of the county court. District Attorney John Carson has ruled after studying the facts in -connection with the re cent attack upon Van Trump by H. 9. Merriam, member of the state board of horticulture who has directed several criticisms at the local Inspector's work in the past few months. Early this month the county court received a letter from Mer riam asserting that Van Trump was not performing his duties In the county, and that the court, If it retains him, does so on its own responsibility. Merriam contended that the inspector should be recommend ed and certified to be competent by the commissioner of the state board of horticulture of the dis trict, and that ho should hold office at the pleasure of the county court. Upon receipt of the Merriam letter. Van Trump declared au thority of the state board ended after the county court appointed him in January, 1929, and that his office continues as longes the county court is willing. The question was submitted to the district attorney, who in his decision given to the court late yesterday afternoon held the same view that Van Trump him self had taken. Carson held that refusal of the ' district commissioner . to longer recommend the Inspector could not affect his reappoint ment. Inasmuch as the commis sioner recommended him at the time of original appointment. It' Is probable that the district attorney's opinion will end the matter, for the present at least, as the county court had in the past held consistently with Van Trump and has offered no com plaint of bis work. One member of the court de clared last night he had been so busy lately with the registration of unemployed that all other matters had been virtually ex cluded, and that he for one was not prepared to make any defi nite statement on the attitude the court would take now. STATE TIX LEVY IS LESS UN IN 1929 The state tax levy for the year 1931, based on the .valuations for the year 1930, will aggregate $6,842,949.09, or approximately 141,000 lees than the tax levy for 1930, based on the 1929 val uations, according to an estimate prepared here yesterday by the state tax commission. Included m the estimated tax levy are the state tax, excluding the two ! mill elementary school tax, aggregating 14.592,627.91 and the elementary school tax of 32,250.321.18.

Within a year after the amendment, not a single woman Evil Should Be Fought by Women : "The attitude of women, he said, "should be in opposition to the introduction of narcotics into her home, which in many cases changes a humane man into a brute." , Boys . and girls, Edison assert ed,' are most likely to develop Into useful citizens under control of the liquor traffic; they certainly cannot "develop on alcohol , and other narcotics. He favored retention . of ; the 18th amendment as "a blessing to our American homes," and said: "Enforcement la getting more practical day by day. We now at tack the large manufacturer right In our midst Instead of men with flasks and homo brews." , CITY'S BUDGET ON FINAL VOTE TONIGHT MEET Some Sentiment for Cutting Repair Fund to One Mill In 1931 Paulus Claims $35,000 More Than Amount Needed to Keep up Streets Salem's 1931 city budget, call ing for an expenditure of approxi mately 3406,000 during the com ing year after the deduction of all probable receipts, is up for final passage tonight at the city coun cil meeting. The levy proposed is approximately 311,000 larger than that of 1930; most of the increase is provided for Increased Interest on bonds or principal and does not come under the limita tion provision. This week some sentiment has developed that the city council should use its sharp axe and whet 117.500 from the street repair fund. Proponents of this meas ure of economy say that this sin gle cut would take a mill from the cost of city government here! They also urge that the two-mill levy authorized for street repair under the city charter, is a maxi mum levy and need not be paid out from year to year in the form of repairs if the .repairs are not needed. In 1930, all of the 835,000 ap propriated for street repair was utilized together with a 32600 balance from the previous year. However nearly $15,000 of the fund went for the Improvement -of one street; South Commercial; from state street to the city lim its.

On receiving word of their fa ther's death both started for St. Albans, the officer planning to come most of the way by air plane.

His father was Les ter Bruce Greene, for some time secretary and treasurer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers. His illness forced the son to sell papers, run errands and do farm work after school hours in order to aid in support of the family.
