H John C. Betts, Central High School's Bpokesman, was the next orator to be heard. Introduced by Alvin W. Miller, rincipal, Betts gave his oration on!

There were nat- wraliness and sincerity which were con- | wincing. Betts brought his speeeh to a | dramatic close after 8 minutes and ISI‘ seconds. “ Judges Go to Western.

Dr. Elmer S. WNewton, principal of the school, pre- sented young Grinioff and the orator began speaking at 11:17 o'clock. Grinioff’s oratory was marked by fervor and poise. His gestures were few, but naturally executed, and the audi- | ence listened closely to him. His time was 9 minutes 133-5 seconds. Western High School's share of the icontest was one of the most artistically staged of the day. The auditorium was dark, while a single spotlight cast a beam across the stage from the left wing.

Orator Is Fiery. The first of the three orators to make | their bids in the museum's auditorium was Butsch. He whipped into his ora- | tion on “The Constitution and the In- dividual” with fire. Larger physically than his opponents, Butsch's verbal strength, too, is power- ful. And vet this speaker exercised firm ‘control. His time was 9 minutes 314-5 seconds. Miss Hardy was the second orator to be introduced in the museum by Stephen | E. Kramer, first assistant superintend- ent of schools in charge of high schools. Speaking on “The Origins of the Con- stitution,” Miss Hardy spoke with a calm deliberateness that paid tribute to her 15 years. She spoke for 9 minutes | and 20 3-5 seconds. The last speaker of the day was Carey Howard Blackwell of the Alexandria High School, champion of the Virginia | district. “The Development and Pur- | pose of the Constitution” was the topic ; of young Blackwell's oration. He pre- | sented his thrice-winning speech today | with a smoothness which concluded the | contest with a high quality. Blackwell’s time was 7 minutes 49 3-5 seconds. At the conclusion of the young Vir-| ginian's speech the judges retired from the auditorium to decide the winner.

CHICAGO DENTIST SLAIN BY GUNMEN i | [Doctor’s Death Discloses, Sinister Circumstances in | City’s Criminal Activities. | Ty the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 25.—Dr. Frank L. Brady, a West Side dentist, had two callers last night who weren't listed on his appointment book and one of them | shot him dead. Dr. Brady, 32, had extracted a tooth for & woman patient and given her a chair in a private office that she might | recover from the effects of the local | anesthetic,. A man patient then sat down in the" dentist's chair, while Dr. R, H. Best, a physician sharing offices | with Dr. Brady, watched over the | woman. Two men pushed open the door lead- | ing from the corridor to thé room in | which the patient, Mrs. Edna Walsh, | was sitting. Dr. Brady was on the point of returning to his other office when the men appcared. One of the men carried a revolver, which he pointed at Dr. Brady, saying, “We've got you now.” The dentist cried “Don’t!” and reach- | ed out to grab the gun muzzle. Thz gunman fired and Dr. Brady fell. An- other shot was fired into his body as | he lay on the fioor and the killer said: “There, you , you'll never try & stunt like that again.” He pocketed his gun, glanced at his companion and the two ran into the | corridor and out of the building.. Gained Wealth Suddenly. With the killing of Dr. Brady several sinister circumstances came to light. It was revealed that the dentist, after years of struggle with a small practice, suddenly became prosperous about four years ago; that he was the son of Mrs, Anna Beauchamp, who killed herself during the murder tria! of Herman J. | (Midiget) Fernekes, and that Dr. Brady himself had been under police investi- gation for a long time in connection with the search for large sums the Midget stole and which have never been accounted for. Fernekes, one of the dezdliest fig- {ures in Chicago criminal history, is serving a life sentence in prison, During his trial the offices of Dr. Brady were raided, but early efforts to prosecute him as a Fernekes aid were abandoned. Deputy Police Commissioner John Stege said today that the dentist's subsequent activities have been carefully watched, the police belleving that eventually he | might give them a clue that would clear away much mystery still sur- Tounding the Midget's operations. A search of his office revealed acids and other materials used by criminals to alter the engraving of bonds and se- Investigators also reported finding indications of unlaw- ful traffic in narcotics. Mother Identified Fernekes. Dr. Brady's mother was arrested April 23, 1925, and at_the detective bureau she pointed out Fernekes as the man who brought 40 sticks of dynamite to her house to be used in the robbery of a Loop bank. The following June, when charged with complicity in the plot to rob the bank, Mrs. Beauchamp killed herself. ‘Until his death last night po- | lice had no knowledge that Dr. Brady was her son. Several patients were in the waiting room when the killing of Dr. Brady was accomplished. Dr. Best, who wit- nessed the slaying, said he would be unable to identify the slayers. Mrs. Walsh described the men and said she would know them should she see them again. Dr. Brady's wife learned of the mur- der when she went to police headquar- ters early today. She said she had no ;mtg:lledn of her husband's business af- airs. Midget' Fernekes’' sentence followed conviction on & robbery charge. Five years ago, while awaiting trial for mur- der, he attempted to dynamite his way out of the county jail without success. He long has been notorious as a safe- blower and arch plotter. Ever since sent to prison Fernekes has continued to plot elaborate crimes, police believe. s S S 10 Moultrie, Ga., farmers have adopted a slogan 6f “Bigger and better peanuts.” They are not satisfied with present pro- | State.

Gibson and would em- wer Lord Cushendun to communicate {its views to him, urged expedition in answering the proposals. On the other hand, the Times, which has been among the warmest advocates | of the American proposals, sounded a | note of caution against “emotional | | vision of & happy ending in a few| | magical moments,” declaring, “the wise | will expect delay while resolved to show | no _mercy to procrastination.” | Widespread feeling against the mat- | ter being handled by the experts has already been voiced in the press.

He will be in charge of the team, the other members being Lieut. J. C. Richardson of St. Louis, Lieut. (J. G.) Maurice M. Bradley of Carey, Ohio, and Ensign Wilfred Bushnell of Watertown, N. Y. The officers now are training for the race at the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, N. J., where they are on duty. The winner will represent the United States in the international bal- loon endurance race. All four officers are veteran balloon- ists. Lieut. Settle was a member of the Navy balloon racing team of 1927 and has had to date approximately 2,200 hours in lighter-than-air craft and has made 25 free balloon hops. On one of these he flew for 217z hours, covering a distance of 478 miles, from Lakehurst to Lisbon Falls, Me. Lieut.
