The sisters, Catherine Walsh, 40 years old, and Mrs. Evelyn Con- stance Alexander, 36, were found insane by a court on July 17, 1935. The verdict spared them from a prison term or death on the gal- According to custom in such they were sentenced “to be detained during the King's pleas- ure.” The sisters were charged with killing Sylvester Walsh “by ad- ministering gas and tablets.” They admitted their deed, declaring they had done it to fulfill a promise to their mother and “for love of our brother.” | - | “Dan,” mule owned by D.

Campaigning Undaunted By JAMES B. THATCHER NEW YORK, Oct. 9. — Often a candidate but mnever elected, Nor- man Thomas swings into his third campaign for the Presidency like a man with a 50-50 chance. Being a perennial candidate “feels like a job,” he says. And he adds that he isn't discouraged.

Students and townspeople wanted Thomas, a Princeton graduate who has been a Presbyterian minis- { ter and an editor of magazines and newspapers, began running for of- fice on the Socialist ticket in 1924. He had been asked to run for one post or another before then, but had always declined. Heres his “ran for” record: 1924 for Governor of New York. 1925 for Mayor of New York. 1926 for New York State Senate. 1917 for Alderman. 1928 for President. 1929 for Mayor of New York. 1930 for Congressman from a Brooklyn district. 1931 for Manhattan borough pres- ident. 1932 for President. 1934 for U. S. Senator from New York. He has held two appointive offic- es, however—member of an East Harlem district school board and member of the municipal charter commission. Knows a Better System “If my major desire were to get into the White House,” says Thom- as, “I wouldn't be a Socialist in this I'd move into some Middle Western state, and do a lot of other things.” Incidentally, he came from the Middle West. As a boy in his home town of Marion, Ohio, he carrfed papers for Warren G. Harding. “That was a pretty good job, too,” he smiles. When you're a Socialist, it's mueh harder to finance a Presidential campaign, because you have to de- pend on the nickeles and dimes of poor people. “It's one of our major headaches,” says Thomas. “We charge admis- sion to some of "the campaign meet- ings, the committees send out ap- peals and part of the money comes from sale of literature. We get an immense amount of work done by volunteers.’ The 1932 campaign cost the party $34,000, but the whole year's expen- diture ran to $50,000. Claims Votes Not Counted In 1928, Thomas was credited with' about 270,000 votes. The figure |jumped to 900,000 in 1932, but he says all Socialists votes cast in Ok- lahoma were thrown out. “The Socialist votes aren’t even counted sometimes,” he says. “I honestly believe I may have had twice as many votes in 1932 as were actually counted. “Each time I have campaigned, it on the ballot. Ohio and North Carolina are the most difficult states. It isnt always the law—it’s how they interpret it.” Thomas is carrying out an exten- continent twice on speaking tours and expects to do so again shortly. sive campaign address schedule.|and struck him in the face with his| Since April 1 he has crossed the|fist, without waming.

The scoring system will be the same, but a team will be required to make 15 yards in four tries for a first down instead of 10 yards as in reg- ulation football. Backfield men on offense and defense must be three yards behind the line of crimmage before the ball is snapped. “We may have to change the rules slighty after we have played several games,” Polk explains. “It is more or less an experiment, but I be- lieve it’s here to say.’ Polk, arter several days of drilling SENTENCE IS PASSED UNDER NEW STATE ACT Guilty Plea Is Made in Ac- cidental Killing Last . Saturday COUPEVILLE, Wash., Oct. 9. Scotty Burnette, aged 52, has been sentenced to twenty years in the Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla on a charge of man- slaughter under the state's new law in connection with the accidental killing of deer hunters. While hunting last Saturday, Leo McDonald, aged 38, of Seattle, who was wearing a scarlet coat and a scarlet hat, was killed instantly by a charge of buckshot. Burnett was also deer hunting. Burnett pleaded builty to the ac- cidental killing. Under the state law, no hunter is allowed to discharge his gun while deer hunting unless he sees the antlers of the deer. Collectors Keep Scrip HONOLULU—Collectors’ zeal may enrich Hawaili banks by $23,000. That amount of scrip, issued during the 1933 bank moratorium, still is outstanding and is believed held by collectors. the small squad, is still puzzled over building a defense. “1t will be an open game,” he points out, “and there will be less of the type of body blocking seen in the regular games. That will eliminate the danger of injuries almost entirely, with no piling up on line plays. A “It's hard to stop the offénse with only three men in the line.
