er. who is being prominently men,
toned for the presidency OF the as.

Mr.. Kenner pointed out that the
proposed bureaus would face a diff
cult task in enhancing the COM
mercial possibilities of the deaf. but
would serve a good purpose IL
promoting industrial training for tbs
deaf that actually could be made use
of in adult life.
The speaker declared that but few
of the graduates of schools for the
deaf pursue trades and occupations
for which they were trained in
school. ut behoves us to inquire in
all seriousness whether our institu-
lions for the deaf are producing the
kind of men and women who are
prepared industrially to meet the de-
mands OF today" he asserted.

An inquest is scheduled here today

Shipley, alias Don McRae. former
chauffeur for the family of Jackie
Coogan. child film star, whose body
was found in a garage at the COogan

self through the head.
Shipley was sought in connection
with the shooting of Joseph Block, a

home in Los Angeles last Tuesday.
Finding of the body followed re-
ceipt yesterday morning by Jack
Coogan, sr., of a post card mailed at
a town near San Diego, Tuesday aft
ernoon. on which was scrawled a
message saying that if the Coogan
ranch were searched the chauffeur
would be found there cold"
A penciled note. apparently written
in the dark. and addressed to Mrs.
Coogan, was found on a table in an
unoccupied house near the garage. 1t
read:
Mrs Coogan-I am writing this
in the dark. could find no guns here,
so do not know. l am going to
take my life, so you can be happy
Sorry l had to hit Joe. but he shot
first
please notify my folks and send
the body to Upton, Iowa, for burial
With the same love for you. DON"
Coroner S. G.. Kelley brought Ship
ley's body back to San Diego last
night.
Shipley had been discharged and
re-employed several times by the Coo
gans. He formerly resided in Upton,
Iowa. where police said he had a wife
and two children.
Block. who was seriously wounded
in an exchange of shots with a man
he identified as Shipley, has a chance
of recovery, physicians say.
