Three Political Parties
Merge and Spell Doom
German Republicans

Berlin, April 5.-(By A. P.)-With
approval voted him at tOday's session
of the national committee of the Ger
man Democratic party, DR.. Wilhelm
Marx is formally ratified as the Off
cial candidate of the so-called Weimar
coalition, comprising Socialist, Center
and Democratic parties.
With the former chancellor thus
ratified the die is cast 50 far as the
three Republican parties are concern
ed. That DR.. Marx is not the most
formidable candidate at the disposal
of the Weinar parties is plant. Prom
incnt Democratic leaders do not at
tempt to conceal their disgust at the
manner in which their party was
forced into becoming a partner in the
pact negotiated between the Socialists
and Centrists.
The Democratic party. however,
found its way to the right barricaded
by the intranSigeance of the JarreS
supporters and in its isolated position
was obliged finally to ally itself with
the two other parties of the Weimar
bloc.
Political onlookers openly charge
that DR.. Marx is by no means assured
of the complete support of either the
Socialist or Democratic parties and
that the question Of religious bias is
one of the most serious handicaps
confronting the Weimar coalition in
its efforts to keep the nominal vote
of the three parties intact. It's stra-
tegic and moral advantage at the out
set of the Forthcoming three weeks
campaign is supplied in the demoral-
lied state in which the National-Con-
servatve bloc is now houndering.

leave for Leavenworth prison.
Texas has been the scene of my
bitterest trouble. but l plan to make
it my home when l am free again"
His departure to serve a sentence
of fourteen years and nine months
for fraudulent use of the mails ter
minated his stay of more than six
teen months in Jail here. Federal
District Judge James c. Wilson al
lowed the time in Jail awaiting re-
suits in his battle for a new trial, to
apply on DIR. Cooks sentence.
The claimant to the discovery of
the North Pole was sentenced with
twelve OF his assistants in Petroleum
Producers Association in November
1928.
DIR. Cook president of the associ-
alton, and principal defendent of the
case, was given by far the most Sc
we're penalty. He appealed and was
given a hearing here last November
In January the higher court affirmed
the judgment. Since then DR.. Cook
has been in Jail pending his decision
whether to accept the sentence or
carry the fight to the supreme court.
Neither DR.. Cook nor his many ad-
herents believe he will serve the en-
tire term. Petitions to the president,
asking for his pardon, have been
placed in circulation and large
number of signatures already have
. been obtained.
When he reaches Leavenworth DIR.
Cook will find there but one of the
men sentenced with him. Z. j. Cox.
promoter and author of the promo
tion literature. who besides a long
sentence in the Cook case. later had
another five years added in the Blue
bird oil case at Houston. All the
other Cook defendants, except one
who died in prison. have completed
their terms or been paroled.
DIR. Cook several times recently
has indicated he intends coming
back to texas and practicing mcdi-
! cine when he is released.

Robbery or Grudge
Believed Reason
For Staying Buchanan

Belmont, Mass, April J.-Beyond es-
tablishing that chloroform was used
in the murder of Alexander Buchanan,
Canadian war veteran and carpenter
found yesterday strangled and robbed,
near the Mclean Hospital for the In
sane here, the authorities today were
without a clue as to the motive for
the crime or the identity of perpetra-
tors.
A gas mask found tightly bound
across Buchanans face and bearing
traces of chloroform, a few letters
written in Italian, q girls photograph
and a list of girls names discovered
in the mans pockets, and reported
attack upon the carpenter in his Bos-
ton lodging house last December, We're
among the focal points of the inves-
tigation.
1t was also learned that the dead
man was engaged to Miss Bessie
Mckenzie until eight months ago,
when the engagement was broken off.
The girl was said to be now living in
Detroit.
Robbery, or the satisfaction of a
grudge held by some army comrade
of Buchanan, were among the theories
advanced by the police as to the muir
der. The mans watch was missing
when the body was found, but SOL
was found scattered near the body.
Buchanan left Boston last Friday
to make one of his regular visits to
his sister, Christine. nurse in the
Mclean Hospital. He left her at $50
that night, the police learned, to visit
his mother in the home of cousin,
20 minutes walk from the hospital.
