ASKS REFUGEE RELIEF.
Henry J, Allen Suggests U. S. and
Europe Adopt New Methods.

Appointment of "A commission to
cooperate with similar bodies from
European nations to form some con-
structive plan for future relief work
among thousands of Greek refugees
was suggested to President Harding
yesterday by Henry j. Allen. former
governor of Kansas. who has just
returned from Russia and the Bal
kans. where he spent three months
making Investigations for the Near
East Relief.
Gov. Allen explained that the tenta-
tive plan as proposed would call first
for the extension of more liberal
credit to the Greek government that
Greece might assume some of the
responsibilities now borne by various
relief organizations.
He said that the Greek government
has SO far managed to assimilate all
but 100000 of the original 1,200. 700
refugees and that inasmuch as the
majority of them are agriculturists
they could be given occupations and
a chance to care for themselves by
the opening up of the Macedonian
plain for agricultural purposes by
means of irrigation.

Farmer Kills Child And browns Self.
Brooding over the death Of his wife.
Emil F. Boerner, 81 years old, farm
er living on Bird River road, near
Poplar, killed his eight year
daughter, Hedwig, with an axe, seri-
ously wounded his daughter Frieda,
aged IA, and ended his own life by
jumping into well on his farm early
Sunday morning.
Frieda regained consciousness sew
eral hours after the attack in the
Boerner home and ran to the. home OF
neighbor, where she related her
story of how her father had killed
her little sister and attempted to STAY
her
The Baltimore county police were
notified and after search of the farm
found Boerner's body in the well. The
girls body was found on bed in a
second-foor room in the house. ~
When the police arrived they found
barricaded. One door had been left
unlocked and it was through this
opening that Frieda made her escape
from the house after regaining her
senses.
Frieda was rushed to st. Joseph's
Hospital, where her condition Is re-
garded as serious.
Both girls attended the public school
at Poplar, on the Philadelphia road.
Persons living near the Boerner
home said that Boerner had been act
ing strangely since the death Of his
wife, about three years ago. He was
well-to-do farmer and bore good
reputation in the neighborhood, they
said.
Recently Boerner appeared de-
pressed and frequently confided to
friends that he had had financial
troubles. He was born in Germany
and had relatives living in that coun-
try.
1t is believed that Boerner attacked
his daughters while they lay asleep
in their bed. Hedwig's body was COW
cred with blood when police and
neighbors entered the house.
At first it was thought that Boerner
was hiding in the house. Every
room was searched but no trace OF
the murderer was found. When neigh
bors started search of the farm they
noticed that the boards used to cover
the well had been removed.
Graphing hooks were sent for and
with these the police located the mans
body. He had not wounded himself
before taking the fatal plunge.
The police believe that Boerner
suddenly became demented while
brooding over his wife's death and
his financial troubles. His intention.
they believe, was to wipe out his fam
lily before ending his own life to as
sure himself that they would not be
in want after he were gone.
