His physicians are at a loss to explain his illness, though they agree that it is some form of anaemia. A further touch of mystery was added, however, when it was said that this might not be the primary cause of his ailment. Twenty of Dr. Goldberger's associ- ates volunteered for blood transfus- ions when it was learned that these were needed and 14 of the 20 were accepted. Dr. Goldberger gained fame by his work with pellagra, his studies show- ing that it was caused by the absence of a specific vitamin, which he named “PP.” Tracing the disease to an un- balanced diet, he worked out a cure during the 15 years that he was in charge of field investigations into the malady for the public health service. ‘This cure was simplicity itself, the use of. dried yeast, which also served as & preventive.

Kyujiro Hayashi, Japanese consul general at Mukden, today said that Japan did not intend to intervene in political and administrative reforms in Manchuria. He intimated that the situation today differed from that of last July when Japan advised Manchuria against such a union. In a circular telegram sent throughout Manchuria Chang Hsueh- Liang stated that his father during his life time “never the prin- ciples of Doctor Sun Yat-Sen but only fought communism everywhere in China.” He stated that his father’s will expressed the hope that China would be unified and that peace would come. He added Ce ae policies of Nanking were now “identi- cal with those of Manchuria and therefore it was decided to accept Nanking’s authority making the uni- fication of all Chine a reality.” MOTHER KILLS SELF AND TWO CHLDRE Chicago, Dec. 29.—(7)—A mother killed herself and her two babies to- day by turning on the burners in the gas stove in their home in Cicero. ‘The dead are Mrs. Mary Zahradnik, 30; Joseph Jr., and Otto, one year old. ‘The misbehavior of little Joseph Manchuria, Dec. 29.— may have been an indirect cause for | negro the triple deaths, His mother pun- ished him for disobeying her, striking County Dads to Hold Meeting, January 2) ss! are hed Burleigh county commissioners will meet in Bismarck, Jan. 2 instead of Boy With Toy Stuck | | in Throat Improves | + Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 29.—(AP)— Physicians at the hospital where Frank Brooks, 18 months’ old Asco, W.

Dec. 29.—(?)— Miss Ruth Duvall, 18, missing since her father, J. D. Duvall, was slain at the state prison farm yesterday morn- ing, stumbled early today into state prison camp No. 9, near here.

Long changes his mind. The man is Dr. Thomas ©. Dreher of Morgan City—a middle-aged, re- spectable leader of the “aristocracy” of that small town. The woman is Mrs. Ada Bonner LeBoeuf, wife of a Power plant superintendent and mother of six children. 4 If she goes to the scaffold—and the governor has indicated he will nov interfere :n the case—she will be the first white woman hanged in Louisiana. Not even in the days of Spanish and French dominion has a white woman ever been executed in the state, although in colonial days one Molly Glass, an octoroon, was hanged in Jackson Square, New Or- : The proposed doubl ition has le execution stirred the state.

Gov- ernor Long intimated that this rec- ommendation would be refused but deferred action thereon. Copied Snyder-Gray Case Dr. Dreher was one of the leading citizens of Morgan City. Mrs. Le- Boeuf was the wife of James LeBoeuf, city power plant superintendent. They had been intimate for some time, and LeBoeuf’s suspicions had been aroused—so much so that he is said to have threatened the life of the doctor. At that time the Snyder-Gray case was much in the newspapers, These small town lovers read about it and decided to copy it. They admitted as much after their arrest. So they arranged a meeting with LeBoeuf for one night on Lake Palourde, just out- side the town, “to talk things over.” With them they took James Beadle, a trapper and also a hired man for Dr. Dreher. When LeBoeuf’s boat reached the rendezvous he was shot to death. Beadle slashed his body with a knife, weighted it down with railroad iron, rowed two hundred feet out into the lake and tossed it overboard. Luck was against them. Lake Palourde was in flood ‘at the time, and they had rowed in the wrong direction. LeBoeuf's body fell in shallow water, and when the flood receded it was exposed to view. Had they rowed an equal distance an an- other direction the. body would have gone down 200 feet and the crime lost his nerve, pleaded guilty and took a life sentence.

Kinscy said on her arrival from "rance aboard the liner De Grasse that when she married Colonel Kinsley, a Louisville attor- ney, at the municipal building last February 16, they agreed to live apart for one year and that if either met some one more congenial, mentally or otherwise, they would not meet again, ‘The bride sailed the same day for the home of her parents in Lyons, France. But the year proved too long for Mrs. Kinsey, who is the daughter of an attache of the French consulate in New York, and she said: “No one in France or Europe could measure up to the colonel.” ‘The couple met at the Hotel Penn- sylvania and agreed to dissolve the |now broken companion agreement.

HOOVER GOOD WILL TOUR APPRECIATED BY SOUTH AMERICA Associates of President-Elect Discovered He Is the Best Known American U. S. 8. Utah, en Route to Hamp- ton Roads, Dec. 29.—()—As Herbert Hoover's associates view the Latin- American good-will tour in retrospect they are impressed by two things— the apparent spontaneity of the re- ception by the people in all nine countries visited and the frank man- ner in which government officials dis- cussed economic and other problems with the president-elect. It was learned early in the tour that the people seemed to know as much, or more about Mr. Hoover than any other American, possibly because of his work during the war and aft- erwards as secretary of commerce. They were also aware of his familiar- ity with Europe, Asia and Australia and they were apparently pleased that before becoming president he wanted to make a first hand study of Latin-America. It was’ éxplained that everywhere the president-elect went government Officials talked to him not merely about economic problems of their countries but also relations with the aid States and neighboring na- tions. The view is entertained that the people of Latin-America desire to be better known and understood abroad and that they appreciated the value of the journey not only as tending to improve relationships between north and South America but in focusing the attention of the American peo- ple and the world on each country visited, since in most of them capital and immigrants are needed for de- velopment, Mr. Hoover's associates are also con- vinced that there is a better chance for maintaining peace in the west- ern hemisphere than in any great geographical division of the earth's surface, PURGHASE’S COURT APPEAL IS DENIED Sioux County State’s Attorney Removed by Sorlie Loses Fight for Position ‘The appeal of George H. Purchase, who was removed from the office of State’s Attorney of Sioux county by late Governor A. G. Sorlie, was de- nied by the supreme court late yes- terday.

On August 15, 1927, charges of mis- conduct in office, malfeasance and habitual drunkeness were made against Purchase and filed with the governor by five Sioux county citizens.

Lonely days and lonely nights passed and therein Beier fashioned a strange tale by which he sought to obtain his freedom. Stranger, stranger than fiction was his story, but he had knitted it well, so well in fact that when it reached Governor Fred Zimmerman, the gov- enor wondered whether an innocent man was serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit. Stands By Story “If I could face the woman I am sure she would admit she killed her husband,” Beier insisted. All efforts to break down his story were fruitless. Governor Zimmerman granted him ® five-day respite and under guard Beier came to La Crosse in an effort to prove his innocence. Beier and the woman were brought face to face by District Attorney Law- rence Brody. The convict had planned to tell how the woman had slain her husband while he was held captive in @ closet in the Biesen home. He had steeled himself to stick to his version of the killing, but when the opportun- ity came he looked into the face of the woman whose admirer he had been since he was 14 years old and told the truth. Fired Fatal Shot True, Beier had been secreted in a closet in the Biesen home, but when he heard the Biesens quarreling he had broken down the door, interrupt- ed the dispute, wrested a pistol from Biesen's hand and fired the fatal That was the story he told. With the conference ended and with Beler ready to go back to prison to pay his penalty came the woman to District Attorney Brody with the plea that she be sent to prison to finish Beler’s term and that ‘ey former iessoeboy, lover be granted ‘his free- ‘Beier’s “application for » ‘pardon rests with the state parole board.
