Man to Share Equally. By the Associated Press CHARLESTON, S. C. July 8—A three-year fight over the $400,000 estate of John Richardson Campbell, eccentric Charlestonian who died in 1930, came to an end yesterday when Frank K. Myers, master in equity, filed a de- i n that two cousins of Savannah, Ga.., as Campbell’s nearest relatives, are to share equally with four perscns named specifically in his will.

By the Assoctated Press. QUINCY, Ill, July 8—Six persons yesterday almost lost their lives here | |in a vain attempt to retrieve a child's | | plaything, an automobile horn which | had fallen into an abandoned gas-filled | cistern, Eugene Klingsmith, 11, playing in| the yard of his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs, Gilberg Fisher, with whcm | he lives, dropped the horn down the | i5-foot cistern. He slid down after it.| Fisher saw the boy's inert body lying on the flocr of the cistern and he went | to his rescue. Mrs, Fisher followed. Both were overcome. Police and firemen were summoned. Carl Bowman entered the hole and was | uncons s in a few minutes. Herb | Sanders and Jack White, firemen, denned gas masks and decended. The masks proved to be ineffective and both were overcome.

They're the sort that would stick a knife into your back | without thinking about it a second time.” | “But haven't you got some of the best workers in the prison there?" “Sure we have. But that's not the point. A man's not here to be a good worker. We don't care about that. He's here to conform to discipline and that's Just what they won't do.” Guards Seem to Be Kind. ‘The guards appear to be kind to those men. They do little favors for | them, suck as sending out for tobacco to ease their jaded nerves. They pro- | st that some of them do not belong h the “bad actors” and wonder hov hey got there. | It is hard to imagine one of these | guards “beating up” anybody. They are | not molded in the pattern of prison | guards, but seem more like Virginia farmers.

They are kindly because that is the policy of the institution aud also, probably, be- | cause it is their mature to be kindly men. But they are not of the human | epecies as these men and have very little | understanding of them. i Nobody, it is likely, understands a single one of these rebel prisoners, ex- cept himself. Not even his fellow rebels understand him.

They smile and laugh—even sing. They have some- thing interesting to say and are inter- ested in what others are saying. They understand each other and their guards. The guards understand them. They are trying to get *privileges and “time off” for good behavior. They don’t like being in jail, of course, but they are trying to make the best of it. Scme of them are fat men. They have just had a splendid dinner—tasti- 1y cooked roast beef, potatoes and gravy and corn. If any of them have taken place in the rioting it is because it was the easiest way. They are not accustomed to bucking their heads against brick walls. Barnard Remains Idealist. A tired, benevolent gentleman—sub- mitting with good grace to the ques- tioning of reporters who want to know if it is true that he is a tyrant. If he is, he must be rated as the most accomplished actor this world has known. He voices only kindness. The practical working out of the scheme for this unique, wall-less prison where a breaker of the law is looked upon as still a human being, entitled to retain in some measure his human dignity, has been largely his job. For most of his life he has dealt with criminals of one sort or another. But he has not become cynical nor sadistic. Capt. M. M. Barnard has remained an ideslist. Probably he has not re- tained much faith in human nature. | He has seen it at its worst. He knows | that many men, in jail and out, are liars and self-seckers. But he has only pity for human frailties rather than hatred of the striving humanity which | is so subject to those frailties. ‘Won’t Punish Rebels. He emphasizes that he neither per- mits nor condones physical. punishment of wrongdoers. Even those sullen rebels who have threatened to wreck the dream upon which he has expended the best part of his life energies will not be punished—only placed in “solitary” or reduced rations until they see the light. Then they will be restored te their work and the past forgotten. They will not even be deprived of any “time off” they may have won by good behavior in the past. Capt. Barnard deals with men ob- jectively and dispassionately. He ap- pears to have no emotional attitude toward his charges other than one of benevolence. But his feelings are hurt by charges of cruelty. He leads an inspection tour of build- ing 17, which the rebel prisonsrs d scribe as the “black hole of Calcutta. It is the punishment building with single cells_ where men are placed in “solitary.” "It is clean, well lighted and well ventilated. The cells are as large as the bed rooms in many a Wash- ington home. Its coolness is delicious t | harshly disciplined after the heat outside. The few men in the cells greet the captain as & Expected Shortage Of Horses Brings U. S. Advice to Buy By the Associated Press.

He listens patiently to their | complaints and promises to leok into | their cases. Doubtless he will, for the keystone of his policy is fair play. Capt. Barnard admits that some men | probably would rather be in solitary confinement than at work in the shops. | He secms to regard these as worthless But, he says with conviction, there is always one way to reach the most re- | fractory prisoner—through his stomach. | It isn’t necessary to starve them. They | can be brought to submission by being | placed on reduced rations. Perhaps he is right, on the whole, but one thinks of a gentleman named Ghandi and an- | other gentleman named MacSwiney who don’t fit into his argument. ‘And one also thinks of some of the medieval saints who chcs deliberately as a way | of life the solitude he imposes as a | punishment. “College Atmosphere.” Here are men living under almost| ideal conditions—for prisoners. 1 They have for a warden one of the | great humanitarian criminologists of | the couniry. They come and go almost | freely around the grounds. They do| not sleep behind locked doors or barred windows. They have athletic teams,| moving pictures and a good library. Lorton has even been described as having a “college atmosphere.” This | is an exaggeration which probably Capt. Barnard would not_condone, since | he himself is a realist. It is rather an | industrial atmosphere. The grounds are more like those of a factory than a_university. The lawns are brown. The hydrangeas, geraniums and French | marigolds struggle against hopeless ob- stacles to give a touch of color to the {rather drab surroundings. But it is not the atmosphere of a industry. When every fault has been found which the most critical can discover—that is, without living with the men and know- | ing what goes on behind the walls—it appears obvious that the inmates of | Lorton are living under about the most | humane and acceptable conditions ever provided for persons in confinement for breaking the laws. Yet this sullen minority is in rebel- lion. Has humanity toward law break- ers proved a failure after a trial which has lasted nearly 20 years and which has appeared up to this time to be a complete success? Has the outbreak at Lorton proved the point of cynics who have maintained that society has be- come too gentle toward its malefactors and that there should be a return to the methods of the sad old days of the lash and the taskmaster’s curse? Capt. Barnard is convinced that this is not true—that the soundness of the fundamental idea upon which Lorton was founded was never better estab- lished than today. ‘Why, then, the rebellion? Crux of the Question. In the first place nobody ever claimed that such a humane system would be more efficacious in keeping men in order. If the District of Columbia should take over the finest hotel in the city and put up its prisoners there with all the luxuries now accorded guests there still would be rebellion and it would come from the very same slim, nervous, brooding men responsible for this one. And the same would be true if they were confined under the most horrible prison conditions recorded in history. If a defect has come to light it is a defect not of Lorton but of any prison system that could be devised by man— at least until man knows a great deal more than he does now. The guard quoted in the first an=cdote uncon- sciously came close, it is probable, to revealing the crux of the whole ques- tion when he cautioned a reporter against listening to the confined men. “Sure we've got some of our best workers in there. But that's not the point. A man's here to conform to discipline and that's just what they won't do.” In the guard’s eyes, and probably in the eyes of most people, these fellows are a bad bunch. And yet something is to be said for them. They are the men who are not easy to discipline— whose whole make-i g-h opposed to discipline. They probably were born that way. There are tyo kinds of men just as the Russian physiologist, Paviov, found that therz were two Kinds of dogs. Their nervous systems act in op- posite directions. One is responsive and one is inhibitory. These belong to the inhibitory class. Impossible to Understand. They are the men nobody under- stands. Nobody can understand them because their whole mental mechanism works on the inside, away from the eyes of others. But these men are the expression on the criminal level of the complex of personality that on other levels has contributed the greater part of what is fine and enduring and beau- tiful to the world. AUSTRIAN PREMIER SUIRED BY Nz German Press Chief Says| Agreement Impossible so Long as Suppression Exists. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 8—A fight to the fin- ish against the Austrian government | of Chancellor Dollfuss was proclaimed today by Otto Dietrich, German press | chief, who declared: “Agrecment with | the present Austrian government is im- possible so long as suppression exists.” “Every effort to effect a truce with Austria s a stab in the back of the Austrian Nazis,” he said at a press re- | ception for Theodore Habicht, Austrian | action of the Dollfuss government out- lawing Nazis in Ausiria. Habicht called Chancellor Dollfuss a “separatist,” and predicted failure for his fight against the Hitlerites. “It is impossible to incorporate Aus- | tria into the Reich today,” he said.| “However, when an inner accord be- tween the nations is reached a formal anschluss (Austro-German union) will be superfluous.” The arrest of leaders of the Nazi movement in Austria, the declaration of a tourist boycott against Austria by Germany, a series of bombings in Aus- tria ascribed to the Nazis, the arrest in Vienna of Habicht, and the retalia- tory arrest in Berlin of the Austrian press attache, Dr. Erwin Wasserbaeck, are ingredients of the feeling between the Berlin and Vienna governments. The clash with Austria, ostensibly over the treatment of his followers in Austria, marks Chancellor Hitler's first independent sally into the foreign po- litical field. Dietrich denounced a section of the German press for a conciliatory attitude toward Austria. It was recalled that the Industrialist Aligemeine Zeitung was banned for three months for criti- cizing the tourist boycott against Aus- tria. The ban was later modified. —_— a way. He was one of them. He re- cruited his sour-visaged, praying Iron- sides from such men as these. They could not be disciplined. They were perhaps the finest regiment of fighting men the world has known. To such.men the same degree of en- forced discipline may be a thousand:| times greater punishment than to an- other man given the same sentence for the same crime. That, perhaps, is the reason why they rebel and why they would rebel under any prison conditions whatsoever. And solitary confinement, away from the routine and chatter of their fellows, may be a far lighter pun- ishment for them than it would be for the others. It might, in fact, be no punishment at all. * ok ok x Extraordinary Tolerance. Probably no prison executive on earth understands them. The men with the kind of personality to understand them would not become a prison executive, except under very extraordinary cir- cumstances. It is fair to say that Capt. Barnard does not understand them. His whole personality trend is in the other direc- tion. And perhaps the finest tribute that could be paid to the man is that he is not going to punish them for be- havior which he does not understand— that he has developed none of the hate toward them which most men feel for that which is alien to their own out- looks. ‘They are not his kind of people. But he is tolerant enough to treat i"em as if they were—and that is an extraor- dinary tolerance. It was at first reported that the whole outbreak resulted from some bad cook- ing on a hot day. Capt. Barnard has uncovered evidence that the trouble has been brewing for a month. The cook- ing, of course, may have been just a convenient pretext. * ok x x No Question of Bolts and Bars. The “wall-less prison” promises to emerge from this unfortunate episode more firmly established than ever. It is not, and never was claimed to be, the perfect solution of the prison question. That can come only when it is possible to fit punishment both tc the crime and the criminal. Very ifkely man will have ceased to exist before then, for the more complex so-. clety becomes the closer it drifts to- ward_ wreck on the rock of this same paradox that one finds in the Lorton situation. But it is not a question of bolts and bars. The doctors in charge of Howard ORITISH DECLARE | fellows, for whom little can be done.

As a result of the failure of the Con- | ference on Reciprocal Trade Agree-| ments at Geneva last week, foreign | diplomats have called at the State Li:- | partment sounding the position of this | country in regard to agreements with | Lndxvldunl countries to be negotiated ere. Last Thursday the Ambassadors from Italy and Argentina and the charge d'affaires from Holland, Bolivia and Honduras discussed this question with Acting Secretary of State William Phillips. i The administration was believed abroad to be favoring veciprocity 2gree- ments, and the American delcgation at the London Economic Conference had | been instructed by the President to | take up the matter as soon as tne pre- | g‘r,rgimry stages of the conference were U. S. Is Cautious. Since nothing happcned at Geneva, ' however, the represontatives in Wash- | ington of the above-mentioned coun- tries took up the matter directly with the State Department. According to reliable reports the ing Secretary of State showed hii: even more cautious than usual. He in- formed the diplomats that the United States must study carefully the question of any possible individual agreement. The original idea was that these reci- procity agreements should be concluded mainly with the nations of the Western Hemisphere. The basic principles on which the negotiations will be con- ducted in Washington is that America is willing to discuss only with thuse countries whosz commodities do not conflict with those produced in the United States: Economic Phases Studied. Thus it is likely that conversations will begin soon with Brazil in regard to coffee, with Cuba in regard to sugar and with Mexico in regard to sisal. The economic advisers of the State Department will report on what basis reciprocal agreements could be made with these countries which will be per- mitted to export into the United States certain quantities of these raw materials to be exchanged for American manu- factured products. ‘The Bolivian charge d'affaires pleaded with the acting Secretary of State for an asreement which would permit the Bolivians to export tin into this coun- try. For the time being Bolivian tin is imported into the United States through London. Bolivia would like to nego- tiate a treaty with this country whereby tin will be exported directly here with- out the English middlemen making a profit. Acting Secretary Phillips prom- ised to have this question duly studied by the Government's experts before entering into direct negotiations with the Bolivian government. ot elf ! FAGTOR GAGE HOAX| Demand Served on Federal1 Authorities to Catch Him, by English Consul. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, July 8—Lewis Bernays, British consul in Chicago, it was| learned today, has served a demand on Federal authorities to captike John Factor, missing speculator, on the | ground that they believe his disappear- ance was a hoax, arranged to prevent | his extradition to England. Factor is accused of swindling British investors out of $7.000,000. Tke consul, with Franklin R. Over- ' myer, attorney for the British crown,| delivered their complaint of the alleged hoax to Melvin Purvis, chief of the United States Bureau of Investigation. ‘They said they were convinced that Factor was in flight to Mexico, and added that they were of the opinion that the reported kidnaping of Factor’s son Jerome last Spring, was a frame- up prelude to the present case. i 1 Seek Extradition Two Years. Attorney Overmyer has been striving for Factor’s extradition to England on the swindle charge for the past two! years. Meanwnile the game of guessing as | to the whereabout of Factor, took on | new life today with & new crop of rumors and reports. The latest report—that of a note found in Eufaula, Okla., signed “Jake the Barber” and saying that the writer was being “held by Al Capone-hench- men,” served to stir the missing man’s “board of strategy” into activity. Doubt Note Is Genuine. ‘The Chicago police, however, observ- ing that the note, mentioned “Capone henchmen” immediately said they con- sidered it unlikely it was genuine, since Factor is reputedly a friend of Murray ‘Humphreys, alleged head of the Capone gang. Factor's secretary, Leon Bleet. sald frankly he didn't know which, if any, of the many rumors and reports to believe. “First,” he said, “we hear Factor is being spirited to Mexico, then to Cuba, and that he's safe in Chicago.” KANSAS CITY WOMAN HEADS PREACHERS GROUP President of Asscciation Is Re- elected at Convention Held in Milwaukee.

Awards Will Be Made. Starting today, the ccmpaign will continue until the league holds its forty-first annual convention here next September 13-15, when awards will be made to individuals among the key workers who succeeded in bringing the largest number of building and loan units into the organization. Two teams, one headed by Philip Lieber of Shreveport, La. league vice president, and Clarence T. Rice of Kan- sas City, will co-ordinate the efforts of field workeis to enlist support for the President’s program. “Some old-fashioned evangelizing” to bring thousands of citizens to a new realization of the virtues of thrift is seen as necessary to the success of the enterprise by Ward B. Whitlock, presi- dent of the league, Urges Co-operation. “All the associations must work to- gether in this ‘revival spirit,’ ” Whitlock said today. “Then when we have | brought _the thrifty to our doors the money will be flowing in with which we can adequately meet the needs of the community for long-time, install- ment-payment, home mortgage loans. The Government expects this increased | activity from our group.” Extensive use of Federal Home Loan Bank funds, a second part of the pro- gram which the administration is deter- mined to push, is to be actively spon- scljgd by the associations, Whitlock said. ‘The “Red Cross” portion of the na- tional mortgage program must have the whole-hearted backing and co-operation of the loan associations, Whitlock said, ers now in distress through drastically curtailed earnings was a major job in the recovery scheme.

No final dccision has been reached however, it was said by administration officials, as to wh-ther Sawyer would bz displaced, or if so. by whom. A definite decision probably will be made by President Rooscvelt on the recommendation of Secratary Ickes, who is returning tonight from a trip to Chi- cago.

Four times “Denny” got birdies to match Wood's subpar exploits on some of the toughest holes of the course, including the long fifth, in the afternoon round. Except for his tremendous driving, which outdistanced Shute’s tee shots by 10 to 60 yards, Wood never ex- hibitey the style or artistry of the win- ner, either with second shots or on the greens. Wood holed only two long putts, one at the sixth in the morning and the other at the long thirty-second —the “Waterloo” hols yesterday for Sarazen, Walter Hagen and Syd Easter- brook. On the other ®hand, Wood missed a half dozen short putts. | Seven-Stroke Lead. | Twice Shute was as much as seve | strokes in the lead on the last round The only moment of even slight sus- pense about the outcome developed as | Wood picked up a stroke on each of the thirty-second and thirty-third holes, but Shute was as steady as a rock on | the last three holes as he kept his five- stroke margin intact.

He then played |the “road hole” safely and nar- | rowly missed a birdie 3 on the home hole, while a gallery of 2.000 spectators cheered the young American’s triumph- ant finish.
