the character of the entire program
SO high and so intrinsically worth
while that it should be presented
for the entire citizenship of the
city
Members of the club stated last
night that there are many local
people interested in the activities
Of the organization who would like
to join it but who feel that they
are not wanted because they are not

ception and anyone who would like
to participate in the clubs work and

of whether they are musicians, are
cordially invited to join.

committee on immigration and nat
'uralization.
Efforts Of Douglas residents and
organizations to prevent such an
extension of the quota principle is
in line with the action taken at the
Border States secretarial meeting in
this city last April. At that time,
secretaries of chambers Of commerce
from the state of Arizona, Texas,
California, New Mexico, Sonora ana
chihuahua, Mexico, passed a resolu-
tion which stated in strong terms
that the application of the quota idea
to Mexican immigration would be a
serious blow to the Industries Of this
section of the United States and
Mexico, and that consequently any
efforts to foster that move would be
actively opposed.

music clubs
PROGRAM BEST
OF The SEASON

One 4of the most unique and pict-
uresque programs ever presented by
the Douglas Music club was offered
at st. stephens Parish house last
night to well-filled and highly
appreciative audience.
An American Indian Program
was the it'll eof the evenings pro-
duction which with its haunting
music, colored lights, rustic cos
tunes and outdoor settings easily
carried the true Indian message
across the pretty stage to a deeply
interested group. The entire life
OF the American Indian from his
summons to fulfill his duties among
his fellowmen until he was called
by the great god above was de-
picted by music, both instrumental
and vocal. A group of girls garbed
as Indian maidens offered the story
in pantomine with j. p. Sexton ac-
ting as narrator and the signing
but inspiring Indian music creeping
out from the instruments of screen
ed players who were invisable thru
out the production. Yet the fact that
the presentation was simply differ
ent failed to make it such a huge
success-it was so we'll executed and
so finished. in its production that
everyone felt the spell and charm
of it all.
Mrs. Charles Cunningham was the
chairman of the evening and was
assisted by Mrs r. G. Arthur as
hostess during the social hour fol-
lowing the program. The pantomines
were directed by Mrs. E. G. Piper
to whom the highest praise should
be accorded for being able to pre-
sent something so difficult in such
a masterful manner. Miss Martha
Criley assisted by Mrs. Piper and
the interpretations were directed by
Miss Narylyn Norton and Miss Irma

PHILADELPHIAN
CONFESSES HE
MURDERED GIRL
1nu nisnatrh A r wirnn

! PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-David L.
] Marshall Philadelphia chiropractor
| tonight confessed that he had
strangled Miss Anna May Dietrich
| to death before dismembering her
body in his office last Tuesday night.
] Marshall said he had killed the
woman after an argument which he
asserted, had followed an attempt to
extort money from him. He made
his second confession late tonight in
the office of District Attorney Fox
after being under a severe grilling
almost continuously since o'clock
last night.
Marshall broke down after an all
night grilling at Media, Delaware
county, and gave authorities there
! apparently complete details of the
death.
Earlier in the day he said that she
had taken poison while he had stepped
out of his office for something to
eat. Finding her lying on the floor,
face upward, upon his return, he
had tried every means to revive her
and then had become panic stricken.
He said he went home and upon
reaching the office the next day de-
cided that he must dispose of the
body. II used a hacksaw and
knife and Wednesday rode out to
near the Rose Tree Inn where I left
tthe body with her purse and all her
clothes" Marshall said. II must
have been crazy. [ was trying to
protect my family Marshall said
lhe discovered that he had overlook
ed the head, which he wrapped up
and disposed of the following night,
hiding it under a railroad trestle.
Miss Dietrich's body, with the head
and legs missing, was found in
clump of woods last Thursday. The
legs later were found nearby and
the head was discovered on Saturday
under railroad trestle, not more
than 1900 yards from Marshall's
home in Bywood Heights, close to
Philadelphia.
Marshall is AZ years old, with, a
wife and 12 year old daughter.
Suspicion pointed to him because of
his acquaintance with Miss Dietrich
and because of the fact that he had
been treating her.
In the course of his confession at
Media before it was repeated {by
him and taken down by steno-
grapher, Marshall said Miss Dietrich
had been detected over love affair.
She had mentioned to him a wealthy
man named Nichols living in New
York.
Marshall said Miss Dietrich had
tried to obtain money from him under
threats Of exposing his double life
to his wife. He told how he had
been out with her and later went to
his suite of offices, where the quarrel
started.
There, parts of the latest confess
sion as given out by the police, said
she repeated her demands for money
in the women's retiring room. Seiz-
ing her by the throat, he strangled
her, he went on, until .she dropped
to the floor.

ASKS
LEGI0NNAIRES
TO TAKE LEAD
Speaker Discusses Peoples
Neglect Of Ordinary Du-
ties Of Citizenship

Fort Scott, Kan, Sept SAP
Shortcomings Of the average Amer
lean voter were diagnosed today by
Maj. Gen. james G. Harbord, pres
ident of the Radio Corporation Of
America, in an address before the
state convention Of he American
Legion here. The commander Of the
American troops ut Chateau Thicrry
appealed to the veterans Of his home
state to take political leadership into
their own hands.
Criticizes Primary
"Thc old ship Of state is far from
being on the rocks" he remarked.
''The alarm to be felt in this country
is not so much at conditions us ut the
indifference, ignorance and neglect
OF the ordinary duties Of citizenship
which have brought about those con-
diti0ns.
Because of his indifference, the
American voter has allowed himself
to be saddled with u primary system
to which - nays little or no atten-
tion. The primary makes for corrup-
ton, for increased expense, and has
resulted in lowering Of the average
capacity and character in the candi-
dates selected. Only wealthy men
can aspire to high office under the
primary system"
Another fault Of the average voter,
General Harbord declared, is the in
clination to look on legislation as a
remedy for all political ills.
Says Conrress Coerced
with an oversold market for gov
ernment statutes, there are forty-nine
law factories, working over time in
mass production" the speaker contin-
ucd =. "Our congress, instead II
devoting itself to functions that cam
not be handled by the states, as was
contemplated by the writer's Of the
Constitution, is being forced by So
cial welfare propagandists into legis-
lative invasion Of almost every phase
Of police power reserved to the sew
cral states"
Criticizing the average American
for neglccting to form an opinion on
the foreign policy of the United
States, General Harbord told the
World War veterans that they them
selves will be to blame If debt set
tlement with France will bring to
our graDdchildren the accumulated i'll
will of sixty-two years"
