HEWITT IN PEPCO SUIT In the case of Sarah M. Hewitt against Central Public Service cor poration and others growing out of sale of stock in that corporation to Mrs. Hewitt a reply has been filed In circuit court by Mrs. Hewitt in which she sets forth activities of the Pep company she avers should estop it from alleging in its answer that it sold a block of stock to tne Albert E. Peirce company of Chi cago, thus had no control over how such stock was sold, in tne reply Mrs. Hewitt asks for $2000 for re imbursement for money paid for stock, $1000 in special damages and also asked to be released as a stock holder in the Central Public Ser vice comoratlon. She alleges that tne Airjert reirce company offered all of the em ployes of the Pep company a com mission on stock transactions and that the employes with the know ledge of the company used the com pany offices, stret cars and places of business to push such stock sales. The reply further alleges that, in a manner unknown to the paintlff. the Central Public Service corpora tion returned to the Pep company the considerations which acting through the Peirce company had been received from Oregon investors for sale of C.P.S. stock and that in June, 1933, the Pep company' re turned about $7,000,000 in preferred stock to its former owners, and. ap proximately $2,500,000 worth of stock to people similarly situated as the plaintiff who were Induced to buy CJ.S. stock. Among properties transferred to the Pep company by the Albert Peirce company, states the reply, were stocks and bonds of other corporations in excess of $7,500,000 which the Pep company has pledged for a loan made to that company on the newly acquired stock as collateral. By such transactions, avers Mrs, Hewitt in her reply, the Pen com pany has ratified and confirmed and received benefits of transacr Hons Involving sale of C.P.S. stock disposed of in Oregon Including the block of stock purchased by the plaintifi. By reasons of which, says the reply, the Pep company should be estopped from setting up the claim that the Albert E. Peirce com- pany was not acting as its agent in the original sales ot u.r.s. siock. BASEBALL "AMERICAN Detroit 3 7 1 Boston 2 I Marberry, Kline and Hayworin; Johnson and Ferrell.

ESTABLISHED 190 CHARGE HITLER REALLY A JEW Vienna, Austria, July 13 (LP) A sensation was caused today by pub lication in the newspaper Oester relchlsche Abendblatt of charges that Adolf Hitler, Nazi chancellor of Germany and sworn foe of Jews, Is a Jew himself. The charges, which have long been the subject of open gossip, ac tually were made public for the first time in the first Installment of a series of articles purpotlng to substantiate them. The paper claims to have sworn documents proving that Hitler is a member of a Jewish family of that name which has lived In this region for generations. Abendblatt's allegations caused such a stir that a wedy newspaper war. developed. Pro-Hitler news papers countered with a list of five generations of Hitlers, all supposcd- of non-Jewisn ancestry. Both the pro-Hitler and antl-Hlt- w lists contained doubtful entries. each twisting name changes, such as Heuller, Heudler, Huettier, Heia ler, Hidler, Hittler and Hitler, to suit his own thesis.

HIS third offense was a liquor taw violation fnr which he was sentenced for from six months to one year in Jackson prison on AprU 1, ia. anoruj after his release he was. arrested again and again convicted of viola tion of the liquor law which car ried the severe penalty of life im prisonment. Under the law the court lacked discretionary power and Palm was placed in Jackson prison sentenced for life. Leading repeal organizations charged he had been "framed" and so insistent were their exortations that the state parole department made a formal Investigation. No evidence of police Irregularity was disclosed, however. Interest in the case continued Organizations came to his aid, law yers volunteered services, but' at tempts to declare the law uncon stitutional failed. Agitation against the law forced the legislature, however, to amend it in 1929 and reduce punishment under the habitual criminal provi sions for liquor law violations. At the same time former Governor Fred Green reduced Palm's sentence to 7 Vi to 15 years in conformance with the new laws. Last fall the state overwhelmingly repealed the prohibition laws and swept into office a democratic re gime pledged to leniency for liquor law violators. Today the governor commuted his sentence to five year and nine months the exact time he has served.

CODE LIKELY TO BE FORCED ON ALL CANNERIES Local canners are wondering when, how and whether the federal con trol of industry will hit them and seem to still be up in the air. However, they were stimulated to renewed interest when they got re ports from California today that evidently the iron hand to being felt there in particular by the California peach Industry. According to the report received by canners here the peach association was notified yes terday by governmental autnonty to get its code ready to come in under the control or, says the report, the association was told it would be given a code if It didn't prepare one. This report also gives rise to a question of local interest as to whether control when it comes will be over the canning industry as a whole or whether it will affect in dividual products such as cherries, prunes, loganberries or so on aown the line. It is understood what was specifically interesting the govern ment in the matter of California peaches was the question of the price to tne grower and mat tne rest is considered Incidental. The peach industry is the major industry of the coast as far as its effect on fruit canning is concerned and the peach crop, its size, price and gen eral consumption, has a big effect on small fruits here. Northwest prune men have been meeting with the idea ot getting ready for some sort of stabilization plan under government control and expect to meet again soon, but it is understood they are waiting for some sort of lead from California, and as yet have not received it.
