KILLER FINALLY TAKES OWN LIFE Gommits sllcide by Leaping From Cell Tier Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 13 (UP)— Glenn Jenkins, 20 year old “lave slayer” who killed Marie Young, 21, bis sweetheart, because he said she asked him to, died from the effects of his second suicide attempt since ke surrendered and gave the police the girls body. Jenkina died of a fractured skull, received when he dived headfirst trom the second tier of cells at police headquarters to the tile floor 18 feet below. The last words of the slayer were that he stabbed his eweetheart to death with a cheap butcher knife because of a strange impuise which came upon him after Marie had :lendefl with him for months to kill er. Jenkinas, who worked as a waiter for $30 a month, bought the butcher knife Tuesday night, rented an auto- mobile, invited his sweetheart for a vide, stabbed the girl to death; then, as he drove to the police station with the body, swallowed iodine. He opped unconscious after telling police how and why he had killed the girl. He was revived. In a confession made shortly be- fore his death plunge, Jenkins in. timated that a suicide pact has been suggested by Miss Young several times during the year he was in- timately acquainted with her. She often asked him to choke her to death, he sald. Evidence presented yesterday tended to contradict the youth's statements and prompted a murder investigution which barely was start. ed when Jenkins died.

Police, too, were inclined to a theory that Jenkins became insane because his salary was so small he could not marry Miss Young and that he killed her because of a jealous fear that he would lose her. There also was evidence that Miss ‘Young had attempted to escape the knife thrusts of her lover. A cut on her thumb and marks op her arms showed signs of a struggle. Her left arm was almost severed from her shoulder. Cuts in her ab- domen and a wound over her heart also indicated the work of a maniac, officers said.

Dr. Eckener Is Believed To Have Changed Route Berlin, Oct. 12—6:30 p. m. (P— Latest news from Horta indicates that Dr. Hugo Eckener, instead of going drectly to Bermuda, 1s head- ing sharply for the Azores which he expects to reach early this evening. Aeronautic circles which had re- ceived direct advices from Dr. Eck- ener at noon that he would head for Bermuda conetuded that this reported change of plans was prompted by the hope that the com- mander of the giant airliner might be able to reach American weather stations from the Azores a~d that he could then determine what course he would follow from that point. The last definite report of the po- sition of the arship was received from the steamship Euclid west of the Island at Madeira. This said that the dirigible was flying west- northwest on a course that would carry her midway between a direct line to the Azores and to Bermuda. WANT TO RESTORE INCREASE Providence, R.

The nation has been given the benefit of a protective tariff; and during the entire period the country has moved steadily forward, getting farther and farther away from the unsettled conditions which prevailed in 1921, when the present republican admin- istration took office.” On this basis Mr. Mellon chal- lenged democratic statements Qques- tioning the assertion that the re- publican administration has been one of ‘constructive accomplish- ment.” Governor 8mith and other demo- cratic speakers, he said, “not only seek to withhold credit from the Coolidge administration for its un- disputed achievements x x x but apparently do not approve that rec- ord.” He added that “they are care- ful not to specify in what respect they would change it, but content themselves with the charge that nearly eight years of good govern- ment and mounting prosperity do not in their opinion constitute a record of ‘constructive’ achieve- ment.” Hartford Woman Cllo:en Girl Scout Director Colorado Springs, Colo., Oct. 12 U® —Mrs. William Hoffman of Barring- ton, R.

THREE SABBATHS Ouly Four Working Days in Tripoli Tripoli, Ttalian North Africa, Oct. 12 (P—The four-day week has been | in effect for generations in the towns | of the original Barbary Coast, here on the shores of Tripoli, where American sailo's once came to do| their bit against marauding Berber pirates. Yet everyone in Tripoli works a six-day week. The explanation lies in the fact | that the region has for long had a population of Christians, Mohammedans, each of which has insisted upon ohserving its weekly religious holiday, the Christians Sun- | day, the Jews Saturday, and the | | Mussulmans Friday. Under Turkish | rule only Friday was the legal holi- | day, but with the advent of the Ital- | ians before the World War the cus- | tomary observance of all three days was recognizel by law. Communicants of, the three faiths live side by side in complete ha mony. On Fridays, when activi suspends in all the old quarters of | the city and when the mosques are more than usually filled, the Italians in their newly constructed section of te city try not to be ostentatious about their “business as usual.” Similarly on Saturdays, when the | Jews, who form more than one-third | of the population, go to their houses | of worship. The Sunday problem is simplest of all since thé Christians | as yvet make up only a small part | of the population. Frequency of holidays makes | shopping somewhat difficult during | weekends since, before starting on CUT WEEK SHORT . | revived as such Jews and | | cefense, a buying trip, one must be sure of the religion of the shopkeeper. In the old days, medan merchants soukhs” or markets and when all the Jews were in their section of town, shopping was casy, but now- adays with breaking of the old ‘Turkish religious barriers it is nec- essary to find out beforehand of the shop's closing schedule. To go to a shop when it is closed is a re- ligious insult. There are three official languages here. All official documents, no- tices and proclamations are issued in Italian, Arabic, and Hebrew. The last of these was an official language here long before it was in Palestine under the Bnllsh mandate. Appenls for Hickman Will Be Abandoned Los Angtles.
