Regarded Priest
AS Intruder and
Shot Him Dead

Lowell, Mass, June 5.-Rev.
Michael c. Gilbride was shot and
killed in Dracut today by John King,
Jr., who according to the police said
that he was an atheist and regarded
the priest as an intruder in his
home where he had gone to admin
lister the last rites of the Catholic
church to Kings father. A formal
plea of not guilty was entered when
King was arraigned in the district
court late today on a charge of muir
der and he was remanded to the
county Jail at East Cambridge.
When Dracut and Lowell police
officers attempted to arrest King in
a field near his home he shot Cap
tain David Petrie of the Lowell pol
ice in the shoulder. Other officers
dubbed him into submission. 1t Is
believed that Captain Petrie's wound
will not prove fatal.
Father Gilbride was born in
Abingdon 50 years ago. After his
graduation from Boston College and
st. Johns Seminary he was assist
ant pastor of church in South Bos-
ton until eight years ago, when he
became pastor of st. Mary's church
in the Collinsville district of ORA
cut.
King has been employed In a
wooden mill in Dracut. He refused
to make any detailed statement to
the police regarding the shooting.

Killed Self When
Her Mother Objected
To Attentions Captain

Especial to The Kennebec Journal)
Belfast, Me-, June 5.-Miss Elean-
or Closson, daughter of the late Is
rael Closson of Searsport. shot her
self about noon today with a .3S
revolver, dying half an hour later,
without regaining consciousness.
: Miss Closson, who was "A years
old and lived with her mother, had
been receiving the attentions Of
Capt. Ernest Wheatley. about twice
her age, and her mother told the
officers that she had objected to him.
He was at the house this morning
and when he left Miss Closson told
him, according to his story to Sher-
if Littlefleld, that he might not find
her when he returned. 1t was short
Iy after his departure, following a
heated argument between the three,
that Miss Closson went into the
wood shed and a few minutes later
shots were heard.
1t is believed that the revolver
once belonged to her father. as she
told Capt. Wheatley that she had it.
She was a graduate of the Sears
port High school and taught in the
village for few years, although
not during the past year. The shot
entered the left temple and passed
through her head. Besides her
mother Miss Closson Is survived by

Brewster at Bangor
Endorses Platform

Bangor, June 5-Senator Ralph o.
Brewster, speaking at City Hall this
evening said:
"One hears much criticism of the
press in these days. I believe the
newspapers of Maine are to be COM
mended for the fair treatment which
they have accorded to the issues
and the candidates in this Primary
campaign. We too often forget that
newspapers are presenting the world
as whole to their community. Public
men sometimes mistake themselves
for the world.
THE Republican platform in Maine
declares against the appropriation Of
public funds to any private schools
except such as are wholly under the
supervision of the Commissioner Of
Education" I cannot conceive of a
sectarian school being wholly" I'M
der his official supervision. This pol
icy would not affect non -sectarian
schools.
LAS a candidate for the Republican
nomination 1 subscribe to that plat
form. My, opponent for the Republic
can nomination seems to be much
moro inclined toward the Democratic
platform which asks simply that the
State shall reserve q reasonable
measure of supervision" over grants
to private schools. This affords very
great latitude as reasonable" Is an
extremely broad word.
There are eighteen thousand chill
dren in the parochial school system
of the State Of Maine according to
Roman Catholic authorities and six
thousand five hundred Of these. or
over one third. are supported by
public school funds drawn from the
State Treasury

Believed FOrmar Governor of
Illinois Would Not Resist
Draft-President Has No
Desire to NEEDLE With
Choice But is Set Against
Naming of Progressive Can
didate-Talk of Dawes as
Candidate Dies Down

Cleveland, June 5.-(By A. P.)-
President Coolidge has passed the
word that former Governor Lowden
of Illinois will be acceptable to him
as his running mate. There is every
reason to believe that Mr.. Lowden
who was the choice of the old line
party leaders for first place in 1920
will not resist draft.
This word came to Cleveland to-
day an crystallized the sentiment al
ready running strong toward Low
den. 1t WAS made plain that PresiA
dent Coolidge, in disclosing his ap-
proval of Lowden, had not depart
ed from his hands off policy and was
still leaving it to the convention Sc
long as no attempt was being made
to put on running mate to rep
resent the insurgent wing of the
party. The president, it was care
fully pointed out, was simply making
it known that he would regard Low
den as very acceptable if the con-
Vention chose to pick him.
All this fitted in with rapidly
tide for the former Illinois COVER
nor, which today had entirely
drowned out the talk for Charles
G. Dawes of Chicago and put Secre-
tary Hoover out of the running, If he
ever was in it, for Mr.. Hoover had
publicly declared he did not want
the place.
Delegates and committeeman ar
irving from the States of the north
western tier where the La Toilette
strength is openly admitted as a fac
tor to be reckoned with, added to
the rapidly growing sentiment for
Lowden. They declared that Lowden
was the man who could do the ticket
most good in the great agricultural
states west of the Mississippi and
and would draw strength from the
rural vote.
If the committeeman and dele
gates already on the ground were to
pick out vice presidential nominee
now it undoubtedly would be Low
den.

None of Mays Men
Are in the Battle

Lewiston, Maine, June 5.-Ques-
toned as to whether any of his men
were involved in the Quebec rum
battle. Seth May of Auburn, federal
prohibition director for Maine, said
tonight that none of his agents were
} in that section and he had no OH
cial knowledge of what was going on
there.
"A year ago last fall sent an ex-
petition of seven or eight men into
that section In search of liquor and
stills" said Director May, but they
made no arrests and instead were
arrested themselves when they came
out. of the woods by Canadian au-
thorities. They were released, how
ever. after their identity was estab-
lished.
Mr.. May said his men found sew
eral stills and n large amount of
bottled whiskey which they destroy
ed, as having penetrated the woods
to depth of about forty miles were
under such a disadvantage that no
attempt was made to bring out the
stuff seized, except few bottles for
evidence.
Mr.. May is of the opinion that
there is a large amount of liquor
hidden in the deep woods OF that
locality.

MUTUALLY NEEDED
COOLIDGE TELLS
REAL ESTATE men

Washington, juno 5.-The real es.
tate men Of the country were urged by
President Coolidge in an address de.
livered today before the National AS.
ISOLATION Of Real Estate Boards to con.
duct their business with a view to mu-
tuality Of advance to both buyer and
sellers.
The deal in which one side gets the
best OF 1t is not good business, the
president said. 1T does not promote
more business or produce confidence. In
business generally. Formerly there
was a curious notion that If one side in
business transaction profited, the 9TH
er must necessarily lose. If that were
true all business would be under sus-
picion and wise people would stand
aloof from 1t. The truth is that when
two parties enter into a transaction
by which each exchanges something
which he needs less for something he
needs more, both sides are benefited
That Is the idea basis of all trade and
commerce, and It is the real basis of
most transactions.
ut is particularly the opportunity
and the duty of real estate men to
maintain such q standard. AS a result
their service is that OF middlemen,
bringing buyer and seller together
They will in the long run prosper if
they are guided by the aim to render
a real service to both sides. The tran
saction whose sole motive is the bro
kerage fee, whether or not is is earned
by genuinely benefitting the princi-
pals, IS not commendable."
The real estate men had gathered on
the south lawn Of the White House
and in opening his address the presi-
dent greeted them as the purveyors of
cheer. confidence and soundly-based
optimism
