DREHER DENIES GUILT IN LETTER BEFORE HANGING Man Executed in Le Bouef Slaying Pleads for Abolition of Capital Punishment in United States. By the Associated Press. FRANKLIN, La., February 2—A farewell message to the world from Dr. ‘Thomas E. Dreher, who was hanged here yesterday with Mrs. Ada Bonner Le Bouef for the murder of her hus- band, was brought to light today by Eugene Dreher, his nephew. His body and that of Mrs. Le Bouef, his alleged lover, were buried today, Dr. Dreher's at Clinton, La., his boy- hood home, and that of Mrs. Le Bouef at Morgan City. Dr. Dreher’s letter, written on the eve of his execution, was intrusted to a re- porter with the request that it be given to the Associated Press. “As I sit here in my sad and lonely death cell tonight with an aching heart I want to write my last message to the living people of this world who know somelhing of this tragedy,” the message said. Innocence is Protested. “I want these words to be published to the world. “I wish they could be given the same prominence in the press and over the radio as our trial was given. “This is my message: “Poor Mrs. Le Bouef and I go to our doom tomorrow. Two innocent souls. “I may not have a chance to say anything tomorrow before they hang me. Mrs. Le Bouef, I believe, is too sick to be able to say anything. That is why T am writing this. “Neither Mrs. Le Bouef nor I fear death. We do not fear death because we will soon be where suffering and punishment are no more, safe at home with Jesus. Thousands know, as well as Mrs. Le Bouef and I know, that we are innocent. “Beadle (the trapper serving a life sentence for his part in the crime) killed Le Bouef and mutilated and dis- posed of his body over my protest and against my wishes, saying he had done the same thing to a man years ago and nothing ever came of it. “Yet Mrs. Le Bouef and I have been Jed to the slaughter like sheep, For a year -and a half we have been fighting We have fought with truth for our weapon ever since we were put on trial. We have lost. We will die game. “It has been an uphill fight all the way against - those who have been against us. Asks Death Penalty Abolishment. “If our lives are sacrificed, T hope it will not be all in vain, I hope that with our deaths a movement will be started to abolish capital punishment, & relic of the barbaric ages. * “If some movement like that out of the legal murder of Mrs. Le ows uef and myself, then as Jesus died on the cross that others might live, so we too shall not have died in vain. “All this story that Mrs. Le Bouef and I were lovers is untrue. I had been the Le Bouef's family physician for 20 years and Jim Le Bouef was my best friend until that lying anonymous letter came to light. “I had always prized the friendship of the Le Bouefs. “A kinder hearted or more sympa- thetic woman never lived than Mrs. Le Bouef. “It is a bitter cup we have to drink, but we are going to face our God with our hearts washed clean of hatred. “We were overruled on everything that might work in our favor. We were overruled when we fought to keep out of the record much that hurts us. “God knows and I know we both are innocent and yet we never have had the benefit of the faintest shadow of doubt. “It is hard not to grow bitter when you stand face to face with a shameful death you have not deserved, as I do tonight. “I will try not to be bitter. I have forgiven those who have lied about me and I bave prayed to God to forgive them. Mrs. Le Bouef has done the same. We can face our God with clear consciences. Mother Believes Woman Innocent. “The hearts of Mrs. Le Bouef and myself are warm with gratitude for those who have Lefriended us in these long months of our bitter troubles. We forgive all who have misjudged us and who have been hard on us. We thank our friends and all of those who have assisted us. “To them this is our last message on this earth. We are going home and we will be waiting to welcome you ‘where there is no more sorrow.” Through & drizzling rain a small group followed the body of Mrs. Le Bouef to the cemetery at Morgan City where she was buried beside the body of her husband, James J. Le Bouef, slain 19 months ago. At about the same time the body of Dr. Dreher, was being buried at Clinton. Funeral services for Mrs. Le Bouef were held yesterday at Franklin and then the body was brought here to the home of her brother, Emory Bonner. “There is an innocent girl,” Mrs. Virginia Bonner, her aged mother, mur- mured as friends passed by the casket. She has never believed her daughter SThe b t e house at Morgan City in which Dr. Dreher lived st{l‘l boreyhu gold- lettered name on the door. His widow and two daughters went to Clinton for the funeral. ~ Services were conducted by Rev. J. A. McCormick, who minis- tered to him before he was hanged. ROMAN GONCORDAT 1S BENG STUDIED Would Regulate Relations Between Church and State in Italy. By the Assoclated Press. ROME, February 2.—Ernesto Pacelli, the lawyer who has been playing a prominent part in negotiations for 'set- tlement of the Roman question, is still busily engaged in carrying on the deli- cate conversations. It was learned today that Signor Pacelli, whose brother is papal nuncio to Berlin, has an interview with Pope Pius every morning, sometimes as early as 8 o'clock. Then he has long con- ferences with Monsignor Borgongini Duca, secretary for extraordinary affairs at the Vatican. It is understood that the two men are studying a_treaty or concordat. If solution of the Roman question is signed by both the Holy See and the Italian overnment, this concordat will regu- late, as far as it is possible to foresee, #ll the relations between the church and the state in Italy. Under the proposed concordat prop- erties and ecclesiastical benefices be- longing to dioceses, seminaries and parishes would be guaranteed by com- mon law and their alienation or trans- ferment would not be allowed without consent of the ecclesiastical authorities. One of the most important points on which agreement is sought is indemnity to be paid by Italy for losses suffered by the Holy See through the occupation of the Papal States. Another important problem to be cov- | - ered by the agreement is the method of appointment of new archbishops and bishops. A large part of the agreement would deal with the religious instruction of children in the schools through teach- ers and professors approved by diocesan authorities. The clergy would enjoy the same political and administrative rights as other citizens. Leading archbishops might be appointed senators, as was the case before the rupture between church and state.

S. Easter Parades! Buyers and Style Artists Are at Outs as Busy Season Nears. By the Associated Press PARIS, February 2—The little rift between buyers and Parisian style makers threatens to interfere with the supply of de luxe clothes for Easter parades in the United States. Most of the autocratic dressmakers are determined to end what they con- sider the bootlegging of their styles abroad and they are taking their own sweet time about letting their ideas out of the bag. The result is that buyers are in the dark about what some of the most important designers are go- ing to advocate at a time when models Bre usually New York-bound on fast | ocean liners, 1 The fact that Easter comes at the end of March and that bulk models will not arrive in New York much be- | fore the beginning of that month, means that the supply of Parisian copies will be nil in the Middle West and Western cities of the United States ‘The biggest style collection shown this week featured evening and afternoon dresses with skirts lengthened in the front as well as in the back by means of godets, panels and circular flounces, A sllhoustte at this establishment, which always has had a strong influ- ence on American styles, was long. straight and matronly, definitely get- ting away from the flapper ideals.

CHICAGO, February 2 (#).—The milk price controversy in the Chicago mar- ket was ended tonight when a confer- ence of dealers and producers agreed on a price of $2.64 per hundredweight to be paid to dairy farmers.

Official Washington gave itself over yesterday to honoring Capt. George Fried, central figure of extraordinary | sea rescues, whose most recent feat was | the saving of the crew of the storm- | Florida. The Shipping Board, the Sec- retary of the Navy, the press, the me bers of Congress and finally, Washing: ton's business men, congratulated, feted and dined the modest master of the liner America. ‘Today Capt. and Mrs, Fried, who are on a three-day visit to the Capital, are resting at the Carlton Hotel and the sea hero Is seeing no_one. “The Shipping Board and the United States Lines have given me this day all to myself, and I'm going to make good use of it,” Capt. Fried told the scores who yesterday sought him for a gay round of parties, dinners and ntl‘lier entertainments over the week end. Capt. Fried is weary of the contin- ucus applause, he said yesterday, and particularly is he tiring of the seem- ingly never-ending ordeals of pictus taking. [o Hero Has Busy Day. It was a busy day the sea hero had. Rising early, he mect newspaper repre- sentatives in his suite at the Carlton and then was whisked away to the Navy Building, where he received the official congratulations of the United States Shipping Board and the plaudits of hundreds of Government clerks who gathered outside the boardroom to catch a glimpse of him. His “gallery” fol- lowed him to the office of the Secre- tary of the Navy, where Secretary Wil- bur and high naval officials met and congratulated him on behalf of Amer- ica’s sea defense forces for his exploit in saving the crew of the Florida. From the office of the Secretary of the Navy, Capt. Fried went to the National Press Club, where he was the guest of honor of the newspaper men at an informal luncheon. Here Capt. Pried made his only speech of the day. Introduced as a man of action and few words, Capt. Fried spoke only three sentences. He said: “It has been said that the rescues at sea make good front-page stuff for the newspapers, but I can assure you tl?n(thth;r re:cues -re“x::t gorttkl;: sake of the front pages; they jus n. I wish I had my boat crew herep:!eth me. They are brave lads and a won- derful boat crew.” Mrs. Fried was the guest of the Women’s Press Club and accompanied her husband to the Capital. _ The Senate adpoted a resolution giv- ing the “thanks and appreciation of the Congress of the United States” to the officers and crew of the America for the “heroic_conduct shown and noble serv- ice rendered in the rescue.” Amid loud acclaim from the floor and the gallery, the sea captain was presented Senate by Vice President Dawes, and the body was adjourned for 5 minutes to give the Senators an opportunity personally to congratulate Capt. Fried. House Praises Him. The House followed this procedure, listening to an eulogy of Capt. Fried by Representative Stobbs, who hails from Capt. Fried's own town of Worces- ter, Mass, and gave the captain a round of warm applause when he first appeared in the gallery. Republican Floor Leader Tilson conducted Capt. Fried to a seat in the gallery, and later the members of the House were given the opportunity of meeting him in the Speaker's office. Capt. Pried was the honor guest last night at the annual Midwinter ban-~ quet of the Washington Board of Trade. Among those invited was the Italian Ambassador as representative of the nationality of the rescued crew of the Florida. to the | widening pi American Business Rights Covered in Possible Irak Pact Negotiations -for a treaty by the United States, Great Britain and Irak, to cover American nationals’ - rights in Irak, are nearing conclusion.

Twenty-first street, to Virginia avenues. Twenty-third street, avenue to B street. B street, Twenty-sixth street to Pennsylvania avenue. Seventeenth street, I street to Massa- chusetts avenue. Seventeenth avenue to H street. Thirteenth street, Massachusetts to Rhode Island avenues. Fifteenth street, Massachusetts to Rhode Island avenues. Fifteenth street, New York avenue to K street. Capt. Whitehurst said the announce- ment was made at this time to give those persons interested ample oppor- tunity to make their reaction to the widenings known to the Commissioners. The plan is to select from this and probably other suggested lists a final list to be set up as an official street rogram. ‘Then Congress would be asked to appropriate enough money each year for several years to take care of the list at the rate of prob- ably three or four projects a year. This is the first time the municipal gov~ ernment has made known so far in ad- vance its intentions as to the loca- tions where street widening is under consideration. If the practice meets with approval, Capt. Whitehurst said he would follow it up with early an- nouncement of a similar list of major street-opening jobs. For the first time in several years, no street widenings will be undertaken this year. The first that could be un- dertaken now would be in the Summer of 1930, if Congress authorized appro- priations for the work. Await Property Restoration.

It builds character. It stimulates con- fidence in those it helps. It recon- structs failing self-respect. It stamps out doubt and distrust, un- rest and unhealthy tendencies, and in their stead creates the sinews of strength and purpose. Possibly, through the lack of direct contact with work like that which this organization does, you have not been in the habit of looking at it just this way. Put yourself, then, in the position where, with your grip on yourself and your self-respect about to snap, relief from distress or even nd life itself may depend upon persons who are bound to you by no ties save those of sympathy and gen- erosity. The Community Chest Fund gives the city added efficiency by reducing human losses and increasing pro- ductive activity. It meets the cry of need, provides comfort, finds em- ployment and serves sympatheti- cally. The present campaign presents to every Washingtonian an oppor- tunity to give loyal, generous and prompt support to organizations whose continued existence is indis- pensable to the welfare of the entire community.
