D. C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1929. Will Rogers Says: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Secre- tary Stimson and the Japanese have conferred on their demands at the disarmament conference. That's like two jurymen getting together and agreeing on their verdict before the court even opens.

Romney declined to throw itself intc fury at the deeds of Crabtree, althougin emphasizing its heinous nature. The townspecple regard 1t as the act of a drink-crazed, resentful man. The kill- ing of young Wolford and the wounding of 6-year-old Ruth Hott are thought possibly to have been done under a mis- apprehension, officers believing Crab- tree was looking for some one else in each instance. The slaying of Justice Inskeep and Jailer Miller was plainiy premeditated, however, Crabtree calling for each personally and shooting them down in cold blood. By a coincidence, Judge G. K. Kump was instrumental in getting the magis- trate to the door. The judge heard Crabtree's calls, asked whom he wanted, and sent the justice to the door to meet Crabtree. Declares Slayer Not Drunk. While Crabtree had been drinking, officers were told that he talked too rationally at the time of the shootings to leave the impression he was en- tirely intoxicated. They attributed the murder e; ition more to resentment over re] arrests by the officers. This the bolstered by the finding of a list of five names, includinghose of the two officers whom he said he intended to kill. Sherift J. V. Saville, one of the two officers who arrested Crabtree in his room without resistence, was on the list, as was former Sheriff E. D. Ruckman. Dan Timbrook, a youth, heard the shooting at the Wolford home, gave the alarm, and officers were able, through checking with the parents of Crab- tree as to his plans—the man having openly told his parents of his inten- tions—to head him off before he reached the Ruckman home. The family said they thought he was joking. ‘While they were looking for him after the Wolford shooting, the officers heard They were told by neighbors that Crab- tree had headed for the jail. Hear Second Shot. On their way there they heard an- other shot, and reached the scene to find ths jailer dead. Crabtree reached the Ruckman home about the same time the officers did, saw he was block- ed, hid behind some trees until the offi- cers left. and himself returned to his home. He was arrested at his home, where he was cleaning the shotgun. Officers said he took his actions light- ly and laughed while being taken to Keyser for imprisonment. Crabtree has been repeatedly in jail here on charges ranging from _liquor possession to thefts. He is a laborer and married. His parents are still| living. _— o On resuming work at the Sydney, Australia, railway yards after the two minutes’ silence on-last Armistice day, a linesman climbed a pole and received a shock of 2,200 votes, falling dead almost on the spot where he had stood during the silenct a shot in another end of the town, and | found Justice Inskeep had been Kkilled. | PLANS ARE DISCUSSED Subcommittees Chamber of Commerce Go Into Details of Work for Event Next Spring. of ‘The work of the various subcommit- tees of the city-wide general com- mittee on Washington's cherry blossom festival in the Spring was discussed in detail yesterday at a meeting in head- quarters of the Washington Chamber of Commerce ifi the Homer Building. Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, general chairman, outlined to each group leader the scope of his committee’s activities, with a view to co-ordinate the work of the whole and prevent overlapping. This was the second meeting of the general committee, composed of chair- men of the special committees. At the first meeting the committees were or- ganized. Now, with the explanation of what they are to accomplish, they are ready to go forward with the actual work of preparation for the festival. Another meeting will be held Janu- ary 22, when the chairmen will report on progress. COURT DOdRMAN DIES. Richard H.
