Urges More Care
in Development
of School Children

, Boston, June 1.--Slender, sensitive
children are now more numerous than
their sturdier playmatcs, due chiefly
to the physical training afforded in
the schools. said DR.. Joel T. Cold
thwaite of this city in an address be-
fore the 10th. annual convention OF
. the Massachusetts, Medical Associa-
ton here today.
DIR. Goldthwaite asserted that school
children's exercises should be vastly
different from the athletic trainer"
type of gymnastics that has been pop
ula.r in the past and declared that les
sons in correct posture would be more
beneficial to the pupils health than
elaborate tests.
Let the slogan of the youngsters be
Heads up, chests out. abdomens in
and weight ON the balls of the feet he
said. IF you doctors deal in pre-
ventive medicines, see that the boys
and girls learn to carry themselves
properly instead of developing these
silly slouches.
1T Is just as unreasonable to ex-
pect youngster to run an automobile,
to write correctly or to use his mind
efficiently without instruction as it is
to say that children should grow up
to strength and health without train

DIR. Samuel 3. Woodward of Wor-

Red Congress at
Riga Approves Plan
of Lenine and Others

Riga, June 1.---(By the Associated
Press) The congress of the Com
munists party closed it's sessions at
Moscow yesterday with declaration
of approval of the program eXpounded
by Nikoiai Lenine and his lieutenant,
Miliutin, minister of agriculture IN
the soviet regime, who is now the rul-
ing spirit on economic questions. The
policy thus approved was outlined by
I.enine and Miliutin during the dis
cussion and was accepted in silence by
Zinovieff, Soviet governor of Petro-
grad, who has heretofore been regard
cd as head of the irrcconcilabie ele-
ment.
Premier Lenine's speech, as report
ed by the Soviet agency, explained
that previous policies of requisition,
etc. had been due to external condl-
tons and to civil war which had
given it no other choice than the adop-
ton of these rigorous measures. But
this necessity now being ended. he
said, the task must be the establish
ment of fixed relations between the
workmen and the peasantry."
There will be general relaxation of
prosecution and of hindrances to free
trade.
Lenine said the development of capt.
talism, through the small industries
and agriculture was not to be feared,
for the reason that the proletariat al
ways held firmly in it's hands all the
large sources of industry. 1t must be
remembered, he went on, that the peas
ants economy could not be stabilized
without certain freedom of barter ana
without those capitalstic relations
connected with harter. He therefore
urged the collection of taxes jim kind
in order to leave the peasant freedom
to barter the remainder of his crops.

Boston Girl to
Wed English Duke

London, June 1.-The London Times
announces the engagement of the
Duke of Marlborough to Gladys Dea-
con, daughter of the late Edward
Parker Deacon of Boston, Mass.
Several times in recent years Miss
Deacon has been reported engaged.
In 1905 it was reported that she
would marry Lord Brooke. In 1908
report had it that she was engaged
to Antoine de Charette, son of Cen
eral Baron de Charette. Still later, in
1911, her approaching marriage to
Lieutenant Oliphant of the Royal
Navy was announced, but in August
of that year it was reported that the
marriage had been postponed owing
to her illness.
Miss Deacon, who has been we'll
known, in international society for a
number of years. is said to have made
her debut in London under the chap
eronage of the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough. She is a sister of Princess
RadziwiIl.
In November of last year she
libel against the Daily Graphic and
was awarded a verdict of five hun
dred pounds sterling and costs. The
article asserted that she was ban
ished from Germany, where her name
was frequently coupled with that of
the Crown Prince
Dispatches from London announce
that the owners Of the Daily Graphic
apologized to her and made formal
statement that there was absolutely
no foundation for the article. Her
counsel declared that the only time
she eyer met the German crown
prince was while she was staying at
Blenheim Palace with the Duchess of
Marlborough.
The Duke Of Marlborough was di-
vorced by the Duchess in November
last. The duchess is a daughter of
the late William X. Vanderbilt and
the now Mrs. o. H. p Belmont Of
New York.

80 DEAD, SCORE HURT IN RACE RIOTS
MARTIAL LAW IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA
ILLNESS OF ACCUSED
HALTS TRIAL MRS,N0TT
FOR MURDER HUSBAND

Bridgeport, Conn, June 1.-The
trial of Mrs Ethel H. Mott, charged
with the murder of her husband,
George b. Mott, was cut short today
on a plea of public defender Robert
de Forest, for the defense, who told
the court that Mrs. Mott was not in
good enough physical condition to
confer with defense counsel. Judge
Maltbie adjourned court until tomor-
row.
During recess counsel for Mrs. Mott
sought to confer with her concerning
the letters offered ip evidence by the
state and which she is alleged to have
written to Elwood b. Wade, while
they were both in the Fairfield county
Jail awaiting trial. Mrs. Mott was too
i'll for conference, Mr.. De Forest
said, thus delaying the arguments of
the defense against the admission of
the letters. States attorney Cum
mings said it is the contention of the
state that every one of the letters is
admissible and has a direct bearing
on the case.
Ebert Wade. father of Elwood B.
Wade, who was executed for the MUIR
der of Mott, was a witness this after,
noon. He said Elwood had otter bor-
rowed his automobile to take Mrs.
Mott riding. Asked by the state
when he first became aware of i'm
proper relations between his son and
Mrs. Mott, Mr.. Wade said he thought
: it was between five and ten months
before the murder.
| He said he had talked with Mrs.
Mott and told her she was foolish to
permit Elwood to come to her house.
! He said he told her she would get
herself and his son into trouble. Mrs.
Mott told him. said the witness, that
! she would have nothing more to do
with Elwood, but his sons visits to
her home continued.
| Cross examina zion by Mr.. DeForest
! did not bring out any different state
| ment as to when Mr.. Wade first
+ learned of his sons relations with
Mrs. Mott. The witness said he

the time. but for what cause was not

Conditions on the other side are,

pie has been patient and calm, and
the course of the government ad-
mirabie. When ] sailed there was
tlement of the. strike would be ar
rived at.
On the continent steady progress
in industry and agriculture was I'M

Eave all made great strides in this
last year.
AS to the, political conditions
much has been said from time to
time as to Frances uncompromising
attitude on the subject OF repara :
tlons, etc, but | want to say that
the members of her government and
men of affairs generally impressed
me as moderate and reasonable in
their views.
i look to see such difficult situa
tons as still exist fall into gradual
adjustment. The fact that the
United States government is now
represented in the councils of the
allies, in their measures to establish
permanent peace and tranquility, has
been very hcartening to all Europe

the situation"
