FACED BY STARVATION, MOTHER
KILLS FOUR CHILDREN AND SELF

Mrs. Wywias came to New York
from Fort Worth, Texas, five years
ago, leaving her husband, ffom
whom she had separated. She had
some money then and sent the
elder children to school.
Two years ago the money was
gone. Too proud to take charity
for herself, the mother ac 4 'ted<
help for the children from Mother
Harriet Murphy, mead of day
nursery, and less expensive home
was found in 31st street, where
the family died today. The chill
dren were cared for at nursery,
while the mother worked as a
clothes ~resser. Irregularity OF
employment had become cOmpI-
Gated by sickness in the last sum-
mer, but she carried on until the
crOwning misfortune came the last
week of this month. She burned a
dress she WSs ironing and had to
pay forfeit from her meager
WNge.
the children had to give up
school. They had no shoes. And
then the gas meter was locked.

TANKER, RIPPED

Joint Congressional Com

NEW YORK, Nov. II R).-The
tanker Beta, her bow ripped open by
an explosion, two of her crew miss
ing and another badly burned, was
making hazardous way to this port
tonight conveyed by half dozen
ships
Thirty-thr miles from New York
and "down by the head" the tanker
was in such a condition that "any-
thing might happen" her owners,
Walker & DAILY, said A coast guard
cutter acted as convoy in case the
still Smoldering fire in the Beta's hold
should bring new disaster.
An S. o. S. call today sent revenue
cutters and other ships hurrying to
the aid of the tanker, which re-
ported by wireless that she was afire
ten miles off Barnegat after an ex-
plosion which had wrecked the ships
bow
The steamers Hannawa and Vaarili
sped to her aid and within short
time four coast guard cutters were
on the way.
Medical assistance was rushed to
the Beta aboard the destroyer Henley
and the Sea-going tug Gresham was
sent to take the tanker in tow if
possible This, it was believed, would
be a difficult task because of the
condition of the Beta's bow.
The Beta left New York today in
ballast for Braytown, Texas.

INTERNATIONAL
CONGRESS SAYS
TO OUTLAW war
Former War Secretary
Urges Three Measures
For World Peace

ST. LOUIS, Nov. IL (P)-Outlawing
war by international agreement, dim
mutton of armament, further consid-
Grafton by the United States of a
permanent world court, and cooper
ation," not necessarily entailing COR
ganic membership" in the league OF
nations, were urged in resolutions
adopted here today at the closing ses-
sions of tNe international Good Will

Delegates unanimously adopted IL
resolutions which epitomize the con-
gress' efforts to Danish international
strife and to prolong peace times.
They placed taboo on rnilitarism in

Newton D. Baker, secretary of wal
in President Wilson's cabinet, recon-
mended three measures for progress to-

A declaration by the president and
senate, as part of the fixed policy OF
the United States, that this country
will not exercise its legal right to trade
with a nation declared by the league
of nations to have been the aggressol
in war.

COMPROMISE
MOOD SHOWN
BY STATEMENT.
Coolidge Looks Hopefully
To McNary's Efforts For
Solution.
OF OPEN MIND
Agreement of Farm Organ
izatiOn Is Hoped for by
President.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II R-Presi-
dent Coolidge is ready to talk business
with farm leaders in an effort to
frame a relief program which would
insure passage of a bill by corgreSs
and signature by himself.
This compromise mood on the farm
issue was disclosed today at the White
House, where it was said the president
was looking hopefully to the efforts of
Senator McNary of Oregon, new chair
man of the senate agriculture COM
nittee, for a solution of the agricul-
tural Legislative tangle
No doubt was left at the White
House of Mr.. Coolidge's unaltered OPP
position to the equalization fee pro-
vision of the ATcNary Haugen bill,
which he vetoed last spring, but it
was emphasized that he is of an open
mind and ready to opnsdder other
proposals than those already advanced
by the administration for meeting the
surplus crop problem.
An agreement among the farm or
ganizations themselves will go a long
way toward bringing about legislation,
in the opinion of the president, and
it was said that while he had inform
ed leaders of the major farm organiza-
tions of this view, he had not told
them they had to get together, as they
attempted unsucceSsfully to do at a
conference here this week.
Meanwhile, the farm issue brought
renewed interest at the capitol, where
a statment was issued by Senator
Brookhart of Iowa, on behalf of the
western independent republican sena-
tors, demanding that the president aid
in putting through a farm relief pro-
gram despite the disagreement be-
tween Representative of the farm or
ganizations On the form of bill.
Senator Steck, demorcat, Iowa, at the
same time, issued a statement assail-
ing Senator Brookhart for not sup
porting the vetoed NIcNary- -Haugen
measure and questioning the interest
of the western bloc in farm relief.
AT the White House it was declared
Mr. Coolidge is of an open mind on a
farm bill except for his views on the
equalization fee and pending the adj
vancement of a compromise he still
favorS the general plan for promo
ton of cooperative marketing, as set
forth in his messages to congress.
The export debenture proposal OF
the National Grange was put before
him yesterday by L. j. Tabor, master
of the Grange, but it was said the
president had never given it much
consideration because it seemed to have
little support in congress.
Mr.. Coolidge believes, however, this

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL P-The
nation today paid it's annual Arm
istice Day tribute to the dead of
the World war.
From Maine to California, and
from the great lakes to the gulf
the ceremonials in gratitude over the
ending of the great struggle were
carried out by Americans without
regard to creed or station in life.
First on the list of those dead to
whom reverence was paid was the
unknown soldier, lying in Arlington
national cemetery. The tomb of this
hero became the mecca toward which
patriotic pilgrimageS turned to pay
homage.
President Coolidge led the American
people in rendering honor to Amer
ica's symbol of all the dead of the
war; without ostentation he jour
neyed to Arlington and placed a
wreath on the impressive tomb. Mrs.
Coolidge laid single white rose be-
side it. A short distance away the
people of Canada presented to the
people of America a cross OF sacrl-
flee in memory of American boys
WHO died in Canadian uniforms before
the United States entered the war.
To emphasize the bond of friend

Canadian soldiers were permitted to
march through Washington streets
bearing arms, marking the first time
British troopers have so paraded here
since the war of 1872.

stands, Woodrow Wilson, the dead
war president, was accorded his share

by Tuesday, Then the grand jury
will decide whether it is to make a
