Frederick Renzelman Finds
Woman and Dog Dead as
Note Had FOretOld.

Frederick Renzelman. a chauffeur
whose home is in South Eatontown,
y. j., but who has been working in
New York for several months, received
n letter yesterday morning from his
wife, Mrs. Helmina Renzelman, in
which she calmly gave him the news
of their home, Of their fourteen
month-old son and the gossip Of the
neighborhood. But she ended her let
ter with this sentence:
IT am going to kill the baby, my
sister. the dog and myself"
Renzelman did not know what had
happened: but he feared his wife
would keep her word because she
often had quarreled with him about
her sister. So he caught the next
train for South Eatontown, arriving
there about o'clock in the afternoon.
The house was quiet as he approached.
In the living room he found his baby
playing on the floor. Before he could
so further into the house he heard a
shot and the next moment Mrs. Rem
zelman emerged from the kitchen with
revolver in her hand.
"T have killed the dog" she cried
RenzeIman jumped forward ana
grabbed the revolver from her hand just
as she was about 10 point the weapon
at the baby. He forced his wife to sit
down. Then he asked her what had be-
come OF her sister. Miss Geslne Vessels.
II killed her Sunday morning" said
Mrs 2enzelman
Renzelman went upstairs into the
room that his sistcr-in-law had been oc-
cupying for several months and found
Miss Vessels lying dead on the floor.
The body was In night clothing the
woman apparently having been shot

Mrs. Renzelman said later that she
had killed her sister about daybreak
Sunday morning. slipping into her room
before she awoke. She had intended to
kill the baby and the dog soon after
ward and then herself but for some
reason she found she was not able to

sister lay.

Special Cable to THE NEw YonK BrrsIp.
Copyright, 1929. bv THE New YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Jan. II.
Will the United States participate
in the forthcoming Genoa conference? ?
With the issuance of official invita-
tions to the meeting this question is
being asked in all European Chancel-
leries. American participation de-
pen6s, as Europe sees it, on. first. the
United States attitude on meeting Rus
sian Soviet representatives in the alb
sence of any pledges from them and
in advance of the Moscow Govern

namely, that they respect private
property and institute legitimate
form of government, and second.
upor how the American Government
regards the probability of a discussion
.of the interallied debts as affecting
Europe's reconstruction.
The French Government Is awaiting
with more interest than are other Eu-
rcpean Governments President Har-
ding's reply to the Genoa invitation as
respecting the first point, inasmuch as
France till now has taken great salts
faction in her Interpretation that Mr..
Huehess position exactly corresponded,
In, so far as the Russian Soviet was
concerned. with her own. 1t is hoped
here that the acceptance by the United
States. of the invitation to the Genoa
conference will be conditional on the
Soviet Government unequivocally
meeting the conditions before the con-
ference opens.
The British position still Is that the
Soviet Government Is not Obliged ex-
pressly to accept all the conditions be-
fore attending the conference, although
the reply to the telegram from George
witch Tchitcherin. Soviet Commissioner
for Foreign Affairs, sent by the Supreme
Council, said IL was assumed they had
accepted the conditions.
This Is one reason for the interest the
French Government Is taking in the
reply of the United States, as the French
consider that, inasmuch as the invita-
tion sent out by Premier Bonomi of
Italy on behalf of the supreme coun-
Gil. refers to the original resolution. IL
must naturally carry with IL all the
obligations mentioned therein.
On the second point. concerning the
allied debts. the adoption by the United
States of the resolution by Senator Me-
dill Mccormick of Illinois, demanding In
formation from European countries re-
garding their finances. has provoked
intense feeling In France and IS taken
by some as precluding the chance of
American participation. the idea being
that the Senate could not officially re-

New York Herald Bureau,
Albany. Jan. IL.
The Court Of Appeals by unani-
nous vote to-day upheld Gov. MiIler's
transit act, under terms of which
New York's railway system is being
reorganized. The constitutionality
of the law is sustained at every point.
Mayor Hylan and the city admins.
tration were overruled on every OBJ
lection made in their assault upon
the Governors transit program.
Full and final power to deal with
transit in this State rests with the
Legislature. That is constitutional
and elemental, the decision holds. It
is a sovereign power which cannot be
given away. The State may delegate
that power to anybody, may exercise
1t itself or through any agency.
But the State, through the Legisla.
ture. may recall. reassume, eenlarge
and extend that power in any way it
sees fit without the approval or com.
pliance of a municipality. That is
the essence of the decision. 1t strikes
to the very root and heart Of State
rights. This was the fundamental
principle upon which Gov. Miller in.
sisted last year in the long fight be.
fore the Legislature over the transit
act.
Must Maintain Transit board.
The Board Of Estimate of New
York city is compelled to appropriate
funds for the maintenance of the
Transit Board, of which George Me-
Aneny is chairman. The city admin.
istration is obliged to observe the or
ders of the commission. - The court
holds that the Commissioners arc not
city officials.
Judge Chester b. Mclaughlin
wrote the opinion, which was con.
CURED in~by Chief Judge Frank His.
cock and Judges Pound and Andrews.
Judges Hogan, Cardozo and Crane
in, the result in separate
memorandum, "but reserve their
Judgment on the question of how far
the rights of the city and railroads
which it owns may be divested or
modified under article VI. of the act
until that act had been passed in

2, of the Constitution of the State.
since a decision as to the scope OF
the last mentioned section is not
necessary TO the determination OF
this appeal and may be affected by
and contingencies
which are now disclosed imper-
fectly."
Hiram w. Johnson appeared for the
city in this action and the State was
represented by Francis NJ. Scott and
Charles M. Collins. The constitu-
tionality OF the act was raised when
George McAneny. as chairman of the
applied to the courts for
