LUFKIN, Tex., July 6—An argu- ment over where a doomed man is to be buried after his execution Friday was blamed yesterday by police for the shotgun slaying of his father— one of four killings that marred this Eastern Texas city’s double holiday over the Fourth. Three of the killings occurred Sat- wday and a colored man caught in connection with one of them was shot down yesterday by a posse. = The son of the man for whose slay- g Glenn Warren is awaiting the glectric chair at the Texas Peniten- #ary surrendered after two shotgun Blasts decapitated 60-year-old Albert Warren, a sawmill employe. « M. H. Cansler, 60, calmly walked @ver to the elder Warren's body after the roadside shooting, then got in his ewn car, drove into town and gave Bimself up to Constable H. F. Sim- mons. His father, C. E.

NEW YORK, July 6.—Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, American Minister to Denmark, came home yesterday to campaign for the Democratic national ticket and to announce “for the rec- ord” that “I am sure of victory for President Roosevelt.” Tact and diplomacy cloaked the conversation as the daughter of the late Willlam Jennings Bryan dis- cussed the part she would take in the campaign. Asserting her speaking plans would be held in aberance, she 1 said: “That’s up to the Democratic Com- mittee. I am at their disposal. I in- tend first to take a vacation and then start on a speaking tour.” She answered questions about the Republican presidential candidate and the new party with a smile, and looked out of a cabin window of the motor liner Pilsudski. Minister to Denmark for a little more than three years, Mrs. Owen ob- served that President Roosevell “good neighbor” policy and “his re ciprocal treaties” have produced a helpful reaction in foreign countries. Of Denmark she said: “Denmark has solved her agricul- tural problem by farm co-operatives. Denmark is serving as a laboratory for study; the old-age pension and un- employment insurance systems are successful. “It does not minimize her success to say these systems work simpler there than they would in the United States.” The woman known as “Madam Minister” to associates spoke cau- tiously of the possibility of a woman candidate for the vice presidency in 1940. “What has sex to do with it?” she aaid. “Appropriateness of the candi- date is what counts. Let us always analyze the requirements of the post.” Irvin S. Cobb Says: Morgenthau Failed to List War Debts, but People Won't Forget.

We didnt know what we were getting into when we stuck around too long after the fighting ended in 1918. Makes me think of a colored labor battalion who went on the loose at Brest on Armistice day. A hard- boiled top sergeant rounded them up: “Get to work on dem freight piles,” he commanded. “But de mess all done over,” de- clared a spokesman. “And us boys only enlisted fur de duration of de war.” “Listen, black gang,” barked the sergeant, “de war may be over, lak you specifies, but fur sich ez you de duration ain't hardly started.” €Copyright 1936, by the North American | Newspaper Alliance (nc.)

TUCKED away in the corner of a small dining room in a lodge or tourists’ tavern in the vi- cinity of Winchester stands a relic of past grandeur which, if articu- late, could tell some intimate stories of Washington and Baltimore society. If you happen to stop for refres] ments you will see, in an inconspicu- ous nook a large Swiss music box, which atvone time graced the parlors of the Boneparte mansion in Bal- timore. 1t stands about as high and is about the size of the de luxe phonographs of today and has a collection of thin steel disks, some 2 feet across, per- forated with a series of holes with the steel rolled back to catch the keys which produce the tinkling mu- sic popular a couple of generations ago. Only eight of these master mu- sic boxes were constructed, but the care which went into their building is evidenced by the sweet. soothing harmonies still to be heard after all these years of use and abuse. The lower compartment contains dozens of “records” and many persons have spent hours listening tc the dreamy waltzes and catchy tunes when they intended to stop only for a hurried lunch. The lodge which houses this relic has further historical sentiment at- tached, for it is claimed here Wash- ington and Fairfax tarried when the former started on his first surveying tour. * % % x MR.

By the Associated Press. CUMBERLAND, Md, July 6.— State and county officers sought Mrs, Raymond Fiorita today for question- ing in connection: with a gun fight in which Albert Lee Hosselrode, 36, of Springtown, near Hyndman, Pa., was killed and the woman’s husband was wounded. Fiorita, 26-year-old miner, received a flesh wound in the gunfire exchange, which occurred last night at Barrell- ville, Allegany County. He was put under a guard at Allegany Hospital pending an inquest at 7 p.m. today at Stein’s chapel. The officers said they were in- formed Mrs. Fiorita was sitting with Hosselrode in an automobile in front of her parents’ home when the firing began. They said she was uninjured, but became hysterical and fled after the shooting. County Investigator Terrence J. Boyle, State Policeman B. H. Cecil and Dr. George P. Paulman, coroner, took part in the investigation. The authorities said they were told Fiorita and his wife were estranged and that yesterday morning he had gone to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bridges, at Barrell- ville, where she was staying, and an altercation resulted. They quoted their informers as say- ing Fiorita accused his wife of “run- ning around” with other men and threatened to kill her and himself. Later, the officers were informed, Fiorita went to the home of George Conrad, with whom he had been liv- ing, and borrowed a double-barreled shotgun and four shells. He did not inform Conrad, they said, what he in- tended doing with the weapon and ammunition. Fiorita told the investigators, they said, he saw his wife and Hosselrode in the latter's automobile between 8 and 9 p.m. yesterday near Barrellville. In his statement to the officers, he said he then put his own car in the garage, obtained the gun and went to the home of Mrs. Fiorita’s parents to | await her return, Fiorita said Hosselrode fired several shots at him before he returned fire.

COWES, England, July 6.—British Navy officials awaited only the right | kind of conditions last night for the secret scuttling of the proud Britan- nia, King George's racing cutter, | Under cover of darkness, away from prying eyes, the craft—one of the | best-known racing yachts in marine | history—will be decently interred be- |neath the waters of the English Channel. Orders to this effect, it has been an- | nounced, have been given by King | Edward and transmitted to officials here by Sir Philip Hunloke, King George's sailing master. | By terms of King George's will mel gallant yacht, which has more than | | 200 victories to her credit, was left to | | King Edward with the proviso that if | | the new King did not want her she | | was to be offered to the other sons of | the late monarch. | In the event no one wanted the yacht, the will expressly stipulated, she was to be broken up or otherwise | destroyed, but not sold. The fact King Edward has no par- ticular interest in yachting, coupled | with the age of the Britannia—she was launched in 1893—means the end, therefore, of the yaght in which King | George found pleggure and excite- ment. Originally built for the present King's grandfether, King Edward the Seventh, then Prince of Wales, the Brittania made history for a new | yacht during her first season’s racing, easily beating all competitors. The following year Britannia was | challenged by the successful America’s | Cup defender, Vigilant. The yachts | met on no fewer, than 17 occasions. Brittania won 11 first prizes and Vigi- lant only 5. Altogether during her Arst five years’ racing, Briitannia won 122 firsts and 25 other prizes in 289 starts, In her 43 years of racing she started in 625 races and won 231 firsts and 129 other prizes. During his reign King George had the Brittania reconditioned six times. More than $25,000 was spent on her in one form or another. In many of the races King George himself was a member of the trew.

POETRY ISHELD LINKED TODRAMA {New Alliance Between Two Is Prophesied by Percy MacKaye. by the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 6.—A new alli- ance between poetry and the drama, | such as existed when Shakespeare produced his masterpieces, was pro- phesied yesterday by Percy MacKaye, poet and dramatist, attending the congress of American poets here. Poetry he defined as “a rhythmic expression of the human imagina- tion,” as such necessarily linked with | the drama, which serves a similar end. “The separation between poets and the people of the theater which has existed for so many years cannot go on indefinitely,” MacKaye said. “I make this prediction not so much ! from observation of the contemporary theater as from knowledge of the fun- damental impulses of human nature.” He cited as examples of appreciation of the importance of “rhythm” ini stage productions the work of Max- | well Anderson, Norman Bel :Geddes, Robert Edmond Jones and Eugene O'Nelll. “In time of depression, people turn to poetry,” the 61-year-old writer and producer remarked, asserting that li- brary statistics show that since 1929 poetry has led all other fields of liter- | ature in popularity. ‘While not claiming for poetry th qualities of & panacea for world strife, | he termed it “the finest instrumental- | fty of human co-operation,” and said | that emotional instincts underlying | future international amity will be akin | to those underlying poetry. | MUSIC IS FEATURE OF “CHAUTAUQUA” President Bestor Announces Aim to Become “Summer Music Capital of America.” EY the Associated Press.

No allotment from the $1,425,000,000 new relief appro- priation is expected because of a pro- | vision forbidding any expenditures on projects which cannot be finished en- tirely with funds on hand.

He urged offi- cials to elect congressional condidates bearing the union’s indorsement, and continued his attack against Presi- dent Roosevelt. “Roosevelt has placed a $35.000.- 000,000 burden on you,” he said to his followers, “and it has to be paid back by your labor.” Another week end political develop- ment was a statement by Gec Berry, president of labor’s Noj tisan League, in which he said union | leaders representing 2,000,000 voter: | had been enrolled to work for Mr | Roosevelt's re-election. | Cites “Astonishing Enrollment.” | “Considering the brief period withir which the league has been organized he said, “this is an astonishing enroli- ment and attests pointedly the thusiasm of labor for the cause to which we are pledged.” \ The labor league was organized last April to “put the American Fed- eration of Labor on the record” for Mr. Roosevelt's re-election. Besides Berry, John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, and Sidnes Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, helped with its organization. “Already we have received the pledges of a large percentage of the | State Federations of Labor,” Berry said in a statement. “In addition, ac- ceptances have arrived from officers of national and international unions constituting a majority of the votes in the American Federation of Labor.” Berry said the league would be “thoroughly practical and cohesive"” | as a political organization and that its | principles and objectives “have the added force of simplicit “No one can misunderstand them." he s “Our platform has only onc plan| Berry said he expected a Nation- wide set-up embracing 48 State labo: league organizations, would be com- pleted by July 15. |PRINCIPLES OF NEW . CHURCH EXPLAINEL Rev. L. W. Sloat Discusses Plans for Presbyterian Congre- gation Here. ‘The fundamentalist principles, upon which a recently formed group from the Presbyterian Church hopes to found an independent church here, were presented yesterday by Rev Leslie W. Sloat, sent here to estab- lish the institution, before a group of about 20 at the Bible Institute of ‘Washington, 1316 Vermont avenue. The break, which resulted prin- cipally from a difference in opinion among certain church leaders over the church's forelgn missionary pol- icy, was widened when the Philadel- phia Presbytery ordered eight clergy- men to renounce their affiliation with the Independent Board of Foreign Missions, a unit “independent of any ecclesiastical control * * * established | for the purpose of promoting truly | biblical and truly Presbyterian for- eign missions.” The Presbyterian Church of Amer- ica, Rev. Mr. Sloat said, is to be the name of the new organization. It was founded in Philadelphia June 11, and now, he stated, is being organ- ized in "15 or 20 Eastern citles.” In his talk yesterday Rev. Mr. Sloat tacitly decried the church's trend toward “modernism,” especially in the foreign missions fleld. He em- phasized as the prime tenets of re- ligion a literal translation of the Bible and “the word of God over the word of man.” Rev. Mr. Sloat will lead services at the Bible Institute again next Sunday at 10:30 a. m. and at 7:30 pm. The services will continue, he sald, “as long as interest warrants.” No definite progrem of organization will be attempted until early in Au- guest, he said, adding that attempts for organization will also depend en- tirely on the interest manifested. Rev. Mr. Sloat said he was for- merly pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of the United States of Amer- ica at Ridgebury, N. ¥.
