ARMY OFFICER
FINDS FAMILY
DEAD in ROOM
NeighbOrs Hear Shots
In Night; Major
Sleeps On
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN JOSE, Cal, Aug. 2.-When
Major Julius Lindenstruth, U.S.A.,
retired, entered his wfe's s room to
summon her for breakfast this
morning, he found that She and
their 13 year old son had been shot
to death.
Investigation revealed a note and
OTHER evidences which caused the
coroner and police to declare they
believed Mrs. Lindenstruth had
killed the boy and committed sui
eide whiles temporarily deranged
mentally. N....
Neighbors reported having heard
shots fired at the Lindenstruth
home about 8 a. m. They attracted
little attention, however. having
been attributed to various causes.
Major Lindenstruth, who was
Sleeping in another part of the
house, said he did not hear the
shots.
Friends of the family verified
the statement of Lindenstruth that
the family had lived happily to-
gether and there was no apparent
cause for the shooting other than
temporary insanity. Lindenstruth
and his wife and son came to San
Jose to reside Il few years ago, fol-
lowing Lindenstruth S retirement
from the army. He had seen most
of his service in the Philippine
Islands.
Mrs. Lindenstruth was aged SO.
Her parents live in Oakland.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Faiing to an
nounce an expected break with
France and Belgium over .repara-
tions, Premier Baldwin, in com
mons, and Marquis Curzon, in lords,
delivered today identical statements
that expressed a hope that unity Of
the entente that won the war may
yet be possible in the division Of
the spoils.
But the British statesmen stressed
the need for prompt action and de
clared that, having failed to reach
agreement with her allies on repara-
ti0ns, Britain proposes TO publish
recent correspondence and thus
bring world pressure to bear upon
France and Belgium.
With permission of the allies,
P"ldwin proposed to tell commons
of the recent interchange of notes
on reparations. But he made no
urea, OF separate action.
"We are still hopeful of securing
allied unity the prime minister
declared. while crowded house
that had expected to hear of a rup-
ture' of the entente cheered.
Europe Near Ruin
While Baldwin was urging that
discussion which would lead to a
financial conferences be started at
once, Curzon was warming the lords
that Europe is sinking rapidly
towards ruin and that there might
not be time to wait while statesmen

[. A.: WILL HAVE
CRIMIN0LO OGIST
POLICE CHIEF
Berkeley Crime Scientist
Named to Succeed
Louis D. Oaks
by United Press Leased Wire

EOS ANGELES, Aug. 2.-As the
elimination of long studied pro-
gram of an attempt to grapple with
crime on scientific basis, Los An
geles had Il new police chief today.
Chief of Police Louis ID. Oakes,
a veteran officer who rose in the
department through faithful atten-
tion to routine work, has been de-
NOTED to detective lieutenancv
while the well known criminologist,
August Vollmer, who for twenty
years as chief at Berkeley, has dis
tinguished himself as one of the
most efficidnt police officials in
the country has been imported to
take over the position. He will as
sumo control tomorrow.
The changes were made by Mayor
George f. Cryer, following a long
investigation by the Los Angeles
crime commission, a gioup of lead
ing citizens appointed to solve the
problem of the increase of post t-war
crime.
The action comes as an immediate
consequence of bitter fight for
control of the department between
Oaks and Captain r. Lee Heath,
commander of the central division,
who was dismissed last Friday by
Oaks for "pernieious political ac-
tivity.'
Heath s ease will be heard today
but the status of his removal is in
doubt owing to Oaks removal.
"The pressure of invisible poll
ties has so hampered and harrassed
me for the last three months that
have been utterly unable to do JUS
tice to my official position,' Oaks
said in retiring.

Correspondence
On RepGrati0ns
TO Be Published

There is no prospect of a joint
reply at present, however, nor Of
any early settlement of the Ruhr
dispute, Baldwin said, intimating
refusals Of France and Belgium on
this point had been definite.
Curzon remarked III lords that
the continental allies had even ne
elected to refer to the draft of a
PROPOSED joint note to Germany sent
them last week.
French Astcr; shed
Considerable astonishment, espec-
tally in French circles, was ex-
pressed over the fact that neither
BALDWIN nor Curzon intimated Bri-
tain would reply separately to Ger
many. Rather, the British plan
seems to be to enforce her views
through publicity and bringing
France and Belgium into line
through force of world opinion.
Replying to questions i'll the
house after he had made his stare
ment, the premier said Britain will
reply to the French and Belgian
communications and will "leave no
stone unturned to bring together
and keep together the allied forces
and to secure just payment from
Germany.
Baldwin promised that should a
crisis arise in allied relations he
would not hesitate to convoke
parliament, which adiourns today. -
An earnest appeal for preserva-
ton of allied unity was the closing
note of the prime minister's ap-
pearance before commons.

Members of the President IS Off

Dennis Murphree Has Clear
Field.

Senator W. B. Nixon of Pike
County, who announced his candi
dacy for Lieutenant Governor OF
Mississippi, has withdrawn from
the race leaving the field clear tc
Dennis Murphree. After a thor
ough canvass of the situation
which showed the enormous lead
of Mr.. Murphree, taking into
consideration the small salary
paid the lieutenant governor as
against the heavy expense incident
to thorough campaign over the
state, Mr.. Nixon decided that it
would not be worth while for him
to remain IN the race and in
statement announced his with
drawal
During the early part of the
year Capt. Clint Dorroh oi
Noxubee county, who represented
his county in the Legislature and
who was connected with the
Attorney Generals office, an
nounced his candidacy for lieu-
tenant governor, but later with
drew from the race.
There were others who desired
to run for this office but these
gentlemen also saw that it would
be useless to try to defeat Dennis
Murphree and did not enter the
race. There will probably be no
more entries in the race for Lieu
tenant Governor, since there is
hardly time before the August
primaries to cover the state in
such a campaign as would be
necessary, and Mr.. Murphree
will be acclaimed the nominee of
the Democratic party for lieuten-
ant governor without opposition.
Mr.. Murphree's position. is a
peculiar one in Mississippi politics.
