REED CITY, IIl, September 1.—Mrs. | Tranquita Rinaldo, 32, blinded with acid and then burned to death last night by an unidentified assailant who escaped. is believed by police to have been a victim of extortionists. | The woman was able to give only & meager description of her assailant | before she died. The man, who she| said was about 40 years old, rprang| out at her from a clump of bushes as he walked along a lonely road near her farm home here, and dis- | charged acid from a squirt gun into | her eyes. As she groped -thout Liinded | and screaming with pain, she said, he knocked her to the ground. An| inflammable fluid was thrown over her | clothes and ignited. Before lapsing | into unconsciousness, she said, she saw | her assailant flee toward a nearby wood. The woman was found by her hus- band and young son, who had become | alarmed at her failure to return home | from a neighbor's and had started a | search for her. She died shortly l{(t‘r; being taken to a hospital. | Sheriff Ernest Fleming, who ad- vanced the extortionist theory, said the Rinaldo's, thrifty farmers, nad re- ceived a number of threatening letters demanding money. “The couple came to me with the first of a series of extortion letters a vear ago,” he said. “About six months ago they received another letter com- ! manding them to deliver the money at | night at a lonely spot near Pekin. The | Rinaldos waited there for hours, while myself and three deputies hid in the | vicinity, but no one appeared. Since then they reported three men had appeared at their truck farm threaten- ing to kill first Mrs. Rinaldo and then her children and husband if they failed to deliver the money. We have no clues toward their identities.” A force of deputies from the sheriff’s office searched about the scene of the | attack today for trace of the slayer. DR. BUTLER SAYS RICH| CAN CHECK RADICALS| Fortunes Used for Public Benefit Key to Problem, He Tells Art Gathering. By the Associated Press. | SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y. September 1.—Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi- dent ot Columbia University, last’ night said the millionaires of the United | States and other nations hold the key in the warfare of the liberal States | against Communism. Speaking before a group assembled at the Parish Art Museum, he took as his subject “The One and the Many.” He said that if the millionaires fol- lowed the example of Carnegie and | Rockefeller in distributing their fortunes for the benefit of the many, Commun- ism would be checked. On the other hand, if the immensely wealthy treated their accumulations as mere personal possessions they would strike a' blow at Liberalism and give ’Clflmmunlsm a chance to get a foot- old. “There is need of a change of heart and a change of point of view on the part of those individuals who, under Liberalism, are able to achieve and |} who do achieve marked success in ac- cumulation of wealth,” sald Dr. Butler. «s ¢ ¢ Fach time that service is subordinated to gain, Communism is offered a helping hand."s FOUR DROWNED IN LAKE AS ROWBOAT OVERTURNS Small Motor-Driven Craft Caught in Windstorm Near McCall, Idaho. By the Associated Press. MCCALL, Idaho, September 1.— Caught in’ the rought wind-whipped waters of Payette Lake when their small motor-driven rowboat overturned yes- terday four Namap, Idaho, residents were drowned while scores of herror | stricken people watched from the banks, unable to go to their rescue. ‘The victims were Mr. and Mrs. Ar- thur L. Betts and Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Horner. Witnesses said they had been repeatedly warned to stay off the lake | until the wind subsided. A quarter of a mile from the shore the boat was filling rapidly when it overturned after being caught by a huge breaker, witnesses said. Six children, none more than 12 years old, were made orphans by the tragedy.

The central point is the issue of a| separate American Army, which Gen.| Pershing insisted upon from the outset, | and which, it is disclosed, caused mis- | givings in high allied circles, which | charges that some of the allied leaders tried to go over Pershing’s head to President Wilson to have the general | overruled. Merging of the American troops into allied armies was the goal of this opposition. Gen. Pershing will be in his seventy- first year when the volume is published, if it appears within the year, for he will pass his seventieth birthday on September 13. The frankness with| which he may deal with the contro- versial issues of strategy in the World | War, after the United States entered the conflict, is the phase of the forth- | coming volume which is being awaited | with keenest interest.

If this plan, severe strain on the exhausted allies, it was justified not only by the proverbial warning against “putting new wine into old bottles’; for the alternative would have demanded an unprecedented sacri- fice of national prestige. “If the realization of an independent American Army would be, as Pershing felt, a serious blow to German moraic, it was also likely to uplift the mili- tary spirit and self-confidence of the United States, not only for the moment, but for all time.” In ancther passage the article in the Encyclopaedia comments thus in a pe:- sonal vein: Grant-Like Ruthlessness. “He had a Grant-like ruthlessness, similarly lacking the personal mag- netism which leads men to lay down their lives gladly, but he had the char- acter which compels men not only to but respecting him.” It is not stated whether Gen. Persh- ing will attend the Fidac convention here in September or the American Legion convention in October. His im- mediate stay in Washington likely will be brief. 0il Conservation Order Extended.
