SUNDAY, JANUARY 25, 1925 e Casrer Sunday Crihiune : PAGE SEVE MOTHER’S VISION BRINGS MERCY TO DAUGHTER WHO KILLED HER LATION DAY PAST, COOLIDGE TELLS WOMEN World Court Adherence By United States Reaffirmed. By DALE VAN EVERY. (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Jan. 24,—Pres!- dent Coolidge today served notice on the isolationists in the senate that his administration was compelled to reason by peace and particularly to American adherence to the world court. : In an address to a delegation from the conference on the causes and cure of war, in session here, the president declared thé United States could not remain in permanent {sola- tion. The independence of peoples and nations becomes more marked with every year, he sald. None can stand alone. None dare court isolation. None may risk the il] opinion of cly- ilizaticn. Mr. Coolidge renewed emphatically his advocacy of this country's ad- herence to the world court. He said the Washington conference and the Dawes plan had been outstanding American contributions to the cause of world peace since the world war and advocated joining the perma- nent court of justice as the next step in America’s peace plan. “I believe,” he said, ‘that with our adherency to the tribunal for which earnestlyI hope, I will be- come one medium in which may gradually be precipitated and cry- stallized a body of international law and procedure which by avoiding the dangers, would be attained the es- tablishment of a super-government, will ultimately command the respect and approbation of the world public opinion and the co-optration of the nations.’ " The greatest forces supporting the ideal of universal peace, the presi- dent said, were ‘the intelligence of the mass of individual and the moral opinion of the community.” “It is not thinkable,” he pointed out, “that these forces are avail: able and adequate to maintain order within the limits of a great state or nation, and yet incapable of adop- tion to the international inter-gov- ernment with differences which grow into the causes of war. Nor is it be- levable that a world-wide public opinion which frowned upon war, would be defied by any nation, how- ever powerful." The president said the different construction periods just after any great war was the most frequent time to talk measures to insure the future peace because the people, then Uving, more keenly realize the rors of war. “If the lesson of this last and greatest war shall be lost, then, in- deed, will this experience have been almost in vain?" he said.

At the trial the prosecution charged Thomas had an active part In the mine massacre, ‘The charge was never proven, and the case against him later was drop- ped. In the election a year later, ‘Thomas was defeated by George Gal- ligan, who appointed the ex-sheriff first deputy immediately upon as- suming office. Thomas was the central figure in the riots of last fall, At the head of a squad of deputle he attempted to seize the car of a prominent Klansman tn a Herrin “rage. This was the spark that exploded two years of hate and the slaughter of six men. Girl Is Arrested, BY HAROLD MATSON SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 24. —"Blood, though it sleep a time, never dies"— 4 > That unexplainable — something which unites and holds us to those we love 1s being exemplified in the case of Dorothy Ellington. Dorothy killed her mother so she would he free to lead a life of ‘jazz’? and hilarity her father and brother spurned her. “She should hang!" the brother sald as he and his father turned thelr backs on Dorothy at the ecoro- ner's inquest. But blood runs thicker than water and Dorothy has been reunited with her father and brother all because the mother spirit returned to the dreams of her son, and pleaded for kindness for the daughter who had killed her The reconciliation of Dorothy with her father and brother was one of the most dramatic in police annals. Her brother, Earl, six-foot Viking, picked Dorothy up in his arms and rocked her,as a baby, while father, unable to speak, clung to their arms. “At first I hated her,” Earl said, “but mother came to me like a v fon and asked pity for her.” Father and I will do everything possible for her defense." Though the reconci!lation with her father and brother has somewhat dampened her spirit, Dorothy like a debutante who has scored a suc- cess, is excitedly interested in all the public attention that is hers. Appetite Is Keen She {s up early in the morning to Prepare her tawny hair and to rouge her heavy Ips. Her appetite is keen and she asks for ham and eggs, toast and coffee. Dorothy smiles at photogtaphers, even though they ask her to look serious. She pens a poem for the newspa- pers and explains that it isn’t all original that she wrote some of the lines from memory. Dorothy talks generously of life. For Investigation Cherry, Picard, blooming Uke her first name and ready to satay that Way indefinitely if one were to judge by the rouging possibilities of ths “Junk” she had in pockets, landed in jail last night, held by the order of the county health officer for investigation, TN Her philosophy is “I want to have a good time.”’ She makes no complaint, manifests little remorse an@ owns no pity, elth- er for-others or for herself. She started young tn life to exact Pleasure, as she understands plea- sure. That which stood in her way she removed. Shoots Mother—Off to Party That 1s why, when her mother warned her that another late party would bring dire consequences, she shot her mother and went about her way—to another party. What makes it possible for her to be so brazen and merciless? Her background ‘is ordinary. There was no poverty, Her father and mother quarreled and separated over Dor- othy herself. The brother, Earl, estranged him- self when the girl, at the age of 12, started associating with men. It there was strife in her family it was the effect of her waywardness, rath- er than the cause, Scientists say, she 1s 2 moron; that she inherits subnormality perhaps two or three generations back. But while scientists discuss her, while newspapers editorlalize and call her the jazz-girl, while preachers talk of Dorothy the unmoral, she rests easily in her cell, Laughs With Life Only the reconciliation with her father and brother moved her—and then‘only for the moment. Dorothy, abnormal in her poise antl in her sense of romance and sub- normal {n sense of love and respon- sibility, 1s yet laughing with life. She is the prima donna of he: own tragedy. ——$<$<>—___—_ LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY TO PROVIDE SUBJECT FOR TUESDAY FORUM The past, present and future of the livestock industry in Natrona coun- ty is to be the subject of a paper that will be read by Thomas Cooper, pioneer sheepman in central Wyo- ming at the chamber of commerce forum luntheon Tuesday noon.

Saturday morning he came pad- ding down from his windswept claim on the top of the world, sold his shack and homstead relinquish- ment, disposed of his furs and his hounds, and prepared himself for the quick extermination of man- kind, an event which was to come with the falling of night. That the eclipse did not result in the destruction of the globe, is an- noying to “Wild Bill.’ He scarcely stood the suspense during the day and anti-climax of continued liv- ing after the fatal hour in the eve- ing just about caused him to pass out. Having prepared for the end by ridding himself of all his world- ly goods, Abernathy suffered a kind of keen disappointment and now faces a new start in fe up on Copper mountat: MURDER PLOT IS BARED IN SLAYER’S WILL Provision for Burial of Victim and Himself Was Made.

Freshour in his will asked that his money be used to defray the funeral expen of the woman he killed and also that $200 be given each of Mrs. Campbell's three children.
