THE EVENING STAR, MOTIVE IS HINTED | [ GLIMPSING THE FAR EAST IN POISONING PLOT Young lowa Farmer Held Without Bail for Alleged At- tempt on Life of Bride. By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, Kans., August 6.—A pos- sible motive of jealousy was hinted in court here yesterday as an explan: tion of the alleged poison plot of Ray Pennebaker, 22-year-old Iowa tenant {armer, against his bride, which acei- dentally terminated in the death of a 6-year-old niece. At the hearing in Justice Court Pen- nebaker was bound over to the Septem- | ber term of District Court without bai for trial on a charge of murder. Candy Poisoned. County officials say the young farmer has confessed giving poisoned candy to his bride of six weeks before she left their home at Diagonal, Iowa, recently to visit her sister, Mrs. C. C. Barnes, here. Mrs. Pennebaker did not eat the candy, but divided it among Mrs. Barnes' children, one of whom died. Questioned briefly yesterday by coun- sel for her husband, the bride was asked on the witness stand whether she knew a taxicab driver living near the Pennebaker home in Iowa. The witness answered in the negative and the attorney dropped the interrogation concerning ~_the hinted relationship | without disclosing anything further re- garding a possible defense for Penne- baker. An attempt to prevent introduction of the purported confession of the young | farmer failed. The confession was | challenged on the grounds that the de-| fendant was not represented by coun- sel when the document was signed. Gives No Reason. In the confession Pennebaker gave no reason for wishing to kill his wife. | “I made a mistake; why did I do it?” was his only comment. PEIPING, China, July 1, 1929, 8o many things are happening here in the ancient capital, so muny things are being “seen,” so many formal cere- monials of welcome are being tendered, that it is again necessary to combine two days into one, and still leave some left-over material for possible inclusion in a later letter. The framers of our Peiping program took no thought of the need of time for reflection and com- position on our part. Ours not to pause to think, or write: ours but to go and see and hear..

Her death was investigated, but no inquest was held. ACCUSED AS REDS, | EIGHT ARE ARRAIGNED Seven Women and Man Are Charged With Communistic Motives. By the Associated Press. SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., August 6.—Eight persons, seven of them wom- en, were arraigned in Superior Court here yesterday on charges of “display- ing the red flag in opposition to this Government with Communistic mo- tives.” Their preliminary hearing was set for August 16, in Justice Court at Redlands. The defendants were Isadore Bero- witz, Belle Mintz, Ictza Stromberg, Emma Schneiderman, Sarah Berowitz, Sarah Cutler, Jennie Wolfson and Esther Karpeliff. They were arrested following investigation of a p in the San Bernardino Mount were held in jail for bail of $1,000 each. District Attorney George H.

FATE OUTSTRIPS COURTS IN CASE AGAINST DOG Farmer Kills Mother of Airedale Accused of Killing Sheep and Fatally Wounds Culprit. By the Assoctated Press. LEXINGTON. Ky. August 6.—Fate has decided what justice, as repre- sented by the courts, has not been able to determine, the guilt of Jack, Airedale dog, valued at $500 by his owner, Mrs. George Kergasner. Jack, accused of killing sheep, had | been defendant in a series of trials that began last January in a magistrafe’s court, His photograph was published in_newspapers over the country. H. C. Downing, Fayette County farmer, hearing a disturbance early vesterday in his sheep pen, ran out with his gun, fired three shots, killed a 6-year-old Airedale, the mother of Jack, and fatally injured Jack himseif. ‘Three crippled sheep testified that the two were Kkillers. Jack’s case, continued under an order from the Fayette Circuit Court last January, had seemed destined to test the validity of the act of 1918, which rovided the death penalty for sheep- illing dogs.

There were the. ysual speeches in Chinese translated into English, and in English translated into Chinese, with numerous toasts and referencs to the traditional friendship between China and America.

The former is south of the city, not a very great distance:from our hotel. legation quarter, a turn to the left through the Chien Men gate, and old China lay before us.

We bounced furious| We clung to handholds in the cars for salvation. After a time the open coun- try appeared, a desolate ruin of a coun- | try, scoured deep with the scars of mis- use by man and by nature, Trips Are Saddening. ‘These trips around Peiping are sad- dening. They show China, perhaps, at its “worst. The hills are bare, the fields are half tilled. Even the graves that dot the landscape are crumbling. The people are haggard with toil and inadequate food. There is no actual starvation in the fegion of the former capital, but the tradition that millions of Chinese are just about two meals ahead of famine gains substantial sug- gestion in the aspect of the people. By this depressing approach we reach the Temple of Heaven. The immediate entrance is through a fine grove of trees, but even here vandal hands have been at work and many of the finest of the trees have been cut down in recent years for firewood. There seems to be a very rigid supervision over the struc- tures of the old regime on the part of the authorities—always much formaiity at the gates to demand admission tickets and identification—but appa ently there are loose joints in the pro- tective machinery. ‘The Temple of Heaven is rated as the interesting Peiping. ‘The original structure w: erected centuries ago. The present one, a copy of the first. which was destroyed by fire, is only about a hundred and fifty years old. In the glare of the sun it shone before us as a dream, its blue tiles gleaming below the gilded rounded cap. Beneath, the white marble circu- lar balustrade almost blinded the eyes. But the flagged walks were thick with weeds and on all sides were signs of neglect. Many years have passed since any attention was paid to this once sacred place. It is now falling into decay. Some of the stones of the balus- trade, itself one of the loveliest things in_the world, are dislocated. The jute fiber coating of the woodwork of the temple, which bore the brilliant lacquer of its original finish, is peeling off large scales and the wood is expose: the weather. Within the temple all is dust and grime. Itisa {loomy shell of a past grandeur. All of within this great compound, priceless marble railings, even th: flagstones, are passing into hopeless decadence. Once Imperial Residence. At the Three Lakes, which was once the place of residence of the imperial family, and a favorite resting place for the Empress dowager, there is more evidence of care by the modern regime. One of the palaces there was taken over as the presidential residence in the early days of the “republic.” Kai developed eventually his imperial complex here. He had the courtyard of the principal building roofed and in- closed and made into an audience hall, 1 the It is a vast chamber, and, with its| throne-like presidential seat, is undeni- ably suggestive of the ambition of Yuan to establish a dynasty of his own and to renew the rcyal power, an ambition that cost him his place and even his life, for he died of chagrin due to the “CSome of our party, eager of our party, eager for sights to relieve the heat of n:oé?y', kept asking where the “lakes” were. uspicion began to grow that the name “lake” was but a figure of speech, char- acteristic .of the Chinese.

We were told that cooling drinks would be served to us. ‘Would we please walk over to the presi- dential palace? We did so. We entered a huge, semi-modern, unlovely building, decorated by myriads of little Kuomin- tang and Nationalist flags, and in a dim, hot, inner room we were served with drinks that, if not cooling, were at least wet. Then we went out and were told that we were to walk back to where we had left the cars. Inasmuch as the entrance to the building was on the way out for the cars we suggested that the motors_be brought to us. Excellent idea. It should be acted upon at once. | There was a flurry of conferring and | some argumentation—nothing is done here except with much gesticulation and running to and fro and endless talk— and finally some one ran half way across the causeway to where the cars were waiting and callec. There was a long-distance conversation, with signs of exasperation on both sides. Finally the chauffeurs got to the wheels, the cars were turned around and we were picked u{ and whirled back to town through the dust. A formal luncheon at the “Old Wai- chiaopu” by Gen.

Found Opera Unappealing. Tt was late when we arrived and we clambered to our seats in boxes in the balcony in a state of confusion and almost in collapse from the intense heat. It would be a foolish stretch of politeness to our host to say that we en- Joyed his performance. From a Chinese | point of view it was perhaps a mag- | nificent exhibition. From our view- point it was a dreary affair. The im- personation of a woman by a Chinese actor involves the employment of a falsetto voice, a droning squall, un- pleasant to the western ear. There is ping of long sleeves. much painful grimacing. The orchestra—this was an operetta based upon an historic inci- - [ dent, the heroine being styled. in the | language of one of our guides, the Marie Antoinette of China——was seated on the stage and blared and squawked from | time to time with the effect of com- | pletely drowning the voices of the per: formers. There was an emperor with a | false beard which was set a good three | inches out from his face. There was a general with another false beard, also at a distance from his chin, who strut- ted about and half drew his sword and slammed it back into its scabbard with a clang that the orchestra accentuated. He was demanding that the heroine, the favorite wife of the emperor, be put to death to appease the rebels who were descending upon the city. He had his way. As a compromise, however, the neroine hanged herself, evidencing this deed by gl-cfing a white scarf on a tree and then walking off stage. Finally there was a vision of heaven, with an apotheosis grouping of the lovely lady and her attendants, and a dance before the emperor, whose added years were indicated by a brown instead of a black beard. I was not converted bv the Japanese drama. Nor am I enamored by the Chinese theater. Mei is perhaps a won- derful impersonator. But he is not as in- teresting on the stage as the “property man” who fixes the chairs, as we have witnessed in America in “The Yellow Jacket.” I could have done with more property man and less heroine. This is another late writing. morrow morning I am to arise very to hunt for bargains. Sometime, some- how, I will catch up on my sleeping schedule. Just now I am far in arrears.

Several of the models will be tried out at the preliminary trials for the tournament to be beld on the Monu- ment grounds Saturday. The boys are reluctant to go into detail regarding their experiments, be- cause of a desire to guard any new discoveries, to keep them from being copled by competitors. Frank Salisbury, 14 years old, residing at Waverly Hill who_will enter i Technical High paring a compr trim little craft. He already holds four unofficial records for several types of model aircraft. Using thin sheet copper, Fran is building a tank for compressed air, to be filled with an ordinary bicycle pump. The air from the tank, operating a reg- ular motor, will flow out under com- pression into three tiny cylinders, with their pistons connected with a neat | [.Mustard . little crank shaft which will turn a 15- | inch propeller to lift the craft. With the device Frank expects to make a flight of over 3 minutes with his model aircraft, measuring 44 inches | across wing and 32 inches from front to | rudder. The outfit complete is to weigh only 6 ounces, the motor and its equipment calculated to weigh 4 ounces. The | lightness of the plane, without its motor, is obtained by using a special kind of wood, neatly covered with Jap- anese tissue paper. Frank plans to try out the plane at the preliminary con- test in preparation for the aircraft tournament, on the Monument Grounds Saturday, under the auspices of the District” of Columbia Model Aircraft League.
