A—4 *» DEATH OF CADMAN FEARED BY DOCTOR “Chances Against” Recov-, ery of Stricken Radio Preacher. By the Associated Press. FLATTSBURGH, N. Y, July T— D¢. L. G. Barton, jr., attending phy- sician, said today “the chances are against the recovery” of Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, noted Brooklyn radio preach- er, after an emergency operation for & ruptured appendix. Dr. Barton sald the 7l-year-old clergyman “held his own fairly well through the night, but his condition is very critical.” Dr. Cadman is at the Champlain Valley Hospital, where he went after being stricken while delivering a peace address at the Mgthodist Episcopal Church Sunday night. Despite his | pain, he insisted on completing his | address. | The attending physician said perito- nitis has developed and he found it inadvisable to remove the appendix because of the minister's weakened condition. Dojed During Operation. “Although the operation was per- formed under a local anesthetic, Dr. Cadman dozed and slept through a part of it,” Dr. Barton said. He added that a drain had been inserted but there “would be no further attempt at surgery, for the present at least.” Members of Dr. Cadman's family are at the bedside. The noted clergy- man is conscious and talks at times with them, but is under orders to ob- serve “absolute rest and quiet.”” Dr. | Barton said. The minister’s son and daughter-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick L. Cad man, arrived here yesterday and hi daughter, Miss Marie Cadman, came | last night. Also arriving from Brook- 1yn last night was his personal phys- ician, Dr. Alfred Buist. Dr. Barton said he had received hundreds of messages and inquiries from friends and admirers of Dr. Cad- man in many parts of the Nation. Consultation Is Held. Dr. Buist and Dr. Barton held a econsultation before the operaiion, which, including the preparation, lasted “about an hour,” Dr. Barton | eaid. Although troubled with abdominal pains while preaching Sunday morning 8t Westport, Dr. Cadman completed his sermon there and insisted on de- livering his scheduled address here Sunday night, despite the fact that the pain grew increasingly severe. Then he went to the Champlain Val- ley Hospital, a non-sectarian institu- tion, operated by the Gray Nuns of the Sacred Heart i 3 i ! ecessitate | s suden Billnses Sl n | first husband was William Homer cancellation of a speaking tour abroad, members of the family said.

OWEN CONFIRMS REPORT. | Fiance to Arrive Soon—Plans for Marriage Indefinite. Ruth Bryan Owen, Minister to | Denmark, today confirmed by long- | distance telephone her engagement to Kammerjunker Kapjin Boerge Rohde of the Danish King's lifeguards and | gentleman in attendance on the King at the Danish court. Mrs. Owen said her fiance would arrive in this country soon, but that plans for marriage are indefinite. Asked whether the marriage would mean her resignation as Minister, Mrs. Owen'’s answer was “nothing to say.” Won't Lose Citizenship. Mrs. Owen would not lose her citi- zenship by marriage to a Danish cap- tain—and so presumably would not have to resign her post as American envoy to Denmark. Such was the best summary that Capital experts could give today of the unique situation of a woman dip- lomat preparing to marry a citizen of another land. Buth Bryan Owen herself is one of the reasons why Mme. Minister isn't losing her citizenship by marriage to a foreigner. The plight in which she once found herself was one of the principal arguments used by the feminists when they obtained the change in the law permitting an American woman to in New York said that under Danish | keep her citizenship on marriage to a foreigner. She lost her citizenship when she married a British officer and had to go through the naturaliza- tion formula to regain it. Mrs. Owen herself was one of the | most eloquent of those arguing that | & woman should keep her citizenship. | When she first came to Congress her | | seat was challenged by her Florida opponent on the basis that she was | not an American citizen. Mrs. Owen | elected to serve as her own attorney |and argue her own case before the Contest Committee. She won. Those who know the Danes and Danish say that Mrs. Owen would add | another interesting title by marrying Rohde. The “Kammerjunker” signifies | “Gentleman in attendance on the King | at the Danish court” and its feminine is “Kammerjunkerinde” pronounced “Kammeryunkerinne.” \“DEAD” MAN ASKS BONUS | MONTPELIER, Vi, July 7 (#)— | | Lester Naramore, 36, said yesterday he was going to Washington to prove | he is not dead and to collect his bonus. Naramore, who served on the U.| 8. S. Cushing, which was blown up| | in the North Sea in 1917, said Gov- ernment records listed him among the casualties. He asserted he was rescued, taken to a Russian port and | again saw service in the United States INSTITUTE FAILS 0 GET DEMOGRAT Maphis Charges Michelson “Refused to Co-operate” and Furnish Speaker. By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 7.— Dean Charles G. Maphis, director of the University of Virginia's Institute of Public Affairs, said today the institute was seeking, so far unsuc- cessfully, a speaker to present the Democratic side of the political cam- paign. He said in a statement that Charles Michelson, publicity director of the Democratic National Committee, had “refused to co-operate” and to name a party spokesman for a program with former Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, who will represent the Republicans, Commenting on published reports that Democrats resented the oppor- tunities given the American Liberty League to criticize the administration last Summer, he sald the league was invited on the same basis as any other group active in politics to present its views, and that at the same time several representatives of the adminis- tration were invited and appeared, including Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky, Gen. Hugh Johnson, Sena- tor Rush D. Holt and Representative David I. Lewis. Soclalists, Communists Accept. This year the Socialists, Commun- ists and the Union party, as well as Democrats and Republicans were in- vited. Acceptances have been received from Norman Thomas of the Socialists and from Earl Browder, Communist noinee for President, while former Senator Hiram Bingham of Connec- ticut will appear for the Republicans. No acceptance has been received to date from the Union party. Dr. Maphis said he had written Postmaster General Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Commit- tee, requesting a party speaker. In a statement issued last night Dr. Maphis and Dean Armistead M. | Dobie sald: “Dean Dobie, assistant to the in- stitute director, went to Washington last Monday for the purpose of secur- ing speakers from the two major po- litical parties to discuss political Gues- tions before the institute. The Speak- | ers' Bureau of the Republican Na- tional Committee was interested and secured the services of Hiram Binz- ham, former Senator from Connecti- cut. Refused to Co-operate. | “Dean Dobie then went to' see Charles Michelson of the Democratic National Committee. He asked Fred Essary, Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun to go with him in an effort to convince Mr. Michelson of the non-partison purposes of the | institute, but Mr. Michelson refused to co-operate and to name a party | spokesman for the program with Sen- | ator Bingham.” | Dr. Maphis said he had had no conversation with Mr. Farley on the subject of tne institute. e White Swallow Hatched.

One of the curious, with an eye for statistics, walked the half dozen blocks between the Chicago River and Chicago avenue along that thor- fare. He counted 42 saloons. Some are called taverns, others cabarets and night clubs. But most of them are the same—filled with two-fisted drinkers, bar room butter- files, smoke and swing music. Mrs. Castle, beaten to death with a brick, worked as a hostess in one of the establishments. Miss Vallette, shot to death, pursued her pleasures in that tinseled tenderloin north of | the Loop on the frowzy fringe of the Gold Coast. In between the saloons are a num- ber of lunch counters, pool rooms, hand books, barber shops, hotels and a few stores.

LOS ANGELES, July 7—Harry Thomas Thompson, convicted of spy- ing on the United States Flcet for a Japanese agent, was sentenced to 15 years in prison yesterday—the first American penalized under the spy law written during the World War. Thompson, discharged Navy yeo= man, was convicted last week of sell- ing naval secrets to & Japanese, iden- tified in a joint indictment as a lieu- tenant commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Judge Leon R. Yankwich, who levied the penalty—the law allows a maximum punishment of 20 years— said Thompson was America’s first convicted peace-time spy. People filled the seats, lined the walls and jammed in the doorway and corridors as Thompson was brought into court. Prisoners Draw Away. A dozen other prisoners, also await- ing sentence, drew away from Thomp- son as he was placed beside them. Thompson kept his eyes straight ahead. His face was set in a cast of immobility through the whole pro- ceding. A hush fell when the judge began to speak. “When we say ‘it is & bad bird that befouls its own nest, we give ex- pression to a universal belief in the duty of loyalty,” he said. “It is because espionage violates this accepted rule that it is held in such contempt and is punished so severely everywhere. Defense Is Scouted. “Harry Thomas Thompson, you stand convicted by & jury of a most serious offense—espionage in matters relating to our national defense. “Foreign governments do not pay money to secure the type of informa- tion available in public prints. You were paid to secure information not 50 obtainable—secret information as to naval matters and movements— which would help the kingdom of Japan, ‘However, because of your youth and because I believe you are not a criminal type, I shall not impose the maximum penalty.” e Rewarded for Help. As a token of thanks for the help Surrey has given the distressed dis- trict of Jarrow-on-Tyne, England, Jar- row has extracted a stone from its parish church and sent it to Surrey to use in constructing its new Guild- ford Cathedral.
