London. June 1s.-I believe in the
United States and in its future. /
think fears of a social upheaval in
America are greatly overempha-
sized. With the example of Russian
Bolshevism before the eyes of the
home-loving people of the United
States. / have no real fear.
America must resist the very de-
termined attitude OF her extremists.
To be fearful and to do nothing is
fatal. Action is necessary and the
people should be taught the conse-
quences OF Bolshevism.
.Law-Abiding People"
There is a most dissident minority
in the United States, but II Is COM
posed chiefly of foreigners. There
will be trouble, but the native
American will gain and keep the
upper hand. They are by nature a
law-abiding, home-loving people.
They are slow to arouse themselves,
but when aroused they strike. and
strike hard.
To overturn existing conditions
Of government means to attack the
United States, and in America the
state has great democratic power
The Bolshevist element may be
considerable, but II is to be re-
marked that there is not, / think,
a Bolshevist member of Congress
and no labor party in Congress.

REFLECTS OFFERS
| TO BURY HANDY
Warden Lcwes, of Sing Sing, Receives
Many Proposals-Autopsy Shows
Slayer's Brain Normal.

SING SING. n. Y, Friday.-Major Lewis
e. Lawes, warden OF Sing Sing, flatly re-
jected applications he received today from
various persons who sought possession OF
the body of Gordon Fawcett Handy, bank
robber and outlaw, put to death in the
electric chair last night. Handy was the
l59th person to die thus in the prison.
One OF the applicants was a New York
city undertaken. Another professed belief
in distant relationship. Others simply
wished to have the distinction OF having
provided funeral for Handy. The Mu-
tual Welfare League OF the prison also
asked permission to take charge Of the
bouy, but the u A-3en found that the law
forbids n private burial in such cases ex.
cept by immediate relatives.
Handy was buried without religious
ceremony. as he had requested, In Gal
lery 25,' rs the prisoners term the prison
burial ground on the hill opposite the cell
block. In this prison cemetery James
S1ocum and two OF his three companions
who were killed in the first execution. on
July Z, 1881. in the prison electric chair
were buried. 4 plain coffin enclosed
Hamby's body.
Handy. who paid the penalty for killing
Dewitt Peal and Henry Coons in the East
Brooklyn Savings Bank holdup, died PEN
niless. In fact he borrowed dollar on the
day Of his death. Warden Lawes received
a letter Of thanks from the bank robber
which. as requested. he did not open until
after the execution. Handy expressed his
appreciation for the many kindnesses the
warden had shown him in his last days.
The autopsy, at which DR.. Amos O
Squire. prison physician and a number of
other surgeons officated. showed Handy
had a well developed and normal brain.

Police Captain and Two City Off
cials Among Eleven Held
by Grand jury.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., F'riday.-Both the

Summing UP, after indicting eleven per-
sons, including a captain of. police and
two other city officials, oiCtharges in
connection with gambling, the Grand
Jury asserted in it's report it is satisfied
beyond a doubt that gambling could not
have operated games with a police knowl-
without being protected from some source.
and where such protection is granted we
feel that money oisother valuable con-
sideration is given for this protection
I'VE have had evidence" the report
continues, that city officials themselves
Incorporated games with police l5nowi-
edge and participation
Commenting on the report Judge Harry
Robinson, of the Criminal Court, in open
session, said he never will believe condi-
tions such as you jurors have found have
flourshed without absolute criminal pro-
lection Crime cannot exist without city
officials being cogniZant and without
monumental fund to protect it..
On the heels OF these statements came
an announcement from the office of As
sistant Commemorative Attorney Mix
that a former policeman could be pro-
duced before the February Grand Jury
who, Mr. Mix said. had related in the pres
ence of witnesses that he had been in
structed not to molest games at two
negro Republican clubs and to protect =
notorious dance hall where there was no

Moreover according to this witness. Mr.
Mix stated Il police captain arrested q

Mrs. Reese Again
Testifies Regarding
Husbands Actions

Declares in Action for
Separation.

WHITE PLAINS. n. r, Friday. - The
taking of testimony in the action for sepa-
ration instituted by Mrs. Angelique Reese
against her husband, Richmond ]. Reese

to a close in tho Supreme Court here to-
day. Justice Morschauser directed both
the husband and wife to submit briefs by

Mrs. Reese took the stand for the sec.
ond time after tho cross-eXamination OF
teh defendant was finished and testified
to her affidavit, in which she charged

lie and had brought immoral persons tc

whether Mrs. Lawrence Grant. a motion
picture actress, had advised her to leave
her husband because of his treatment OF
her. she replied in the affirmative.
did Mr.. Reese spend most Of his
evenings with you?" asked counsel for
Mrs. Reese.
NO" she replied. 'TIe always had
some excuse. such as being busy at his
office. One man telephoned me one nigh,
asking how he could get in touch with
my husband. He had called his office
but was unable to get in touch with
him."
Mrs Reese said that when her husband
returned home late that night, she told
him of the incident and he responded that
the man who had telephoned her told an
untruth. The witness admitted under
cross examination that she had received
letter from her husband suggesting that
she take their baby and go to some beach
for the summer so that he could commute
but no action was taken in the matter.
DR.. eTInry Beckwith, OF Yonkers, who
attended Mrs. Reese when she tainted
after returning from tennis tournament.
admitted that he had told Mr.. Reese his
wife was feigning illness. but that he had
done so in u humorous way. lie said .nrs.
Reese really was pale and nervous on
that occasion, and under pressure admit
tod that any person could feign fainting
with compa rativc case.
