CONNEAUT. Ohio, February Ia
Authorities today were puzzled by the
Staying of Mrs. Fred Brown and her
4-year-old son. They were found
dubbed to death in their home by
Brown when he returned from work
last night.
Money and other valuables in the
house were untouched. Brown said
he had no enemies who might seek re-
venge.
The woman's body. with her cloth
ing torn to shreds, was in sleeping
porch. The boys body was found IN
the basement. Walls of the house
were spattered with blood and a blood
stained baseball bat was in a waste
paper basket.
Officials considered the theory that
the Staying might have been the act
of a crazed person. The house was
in disorder. Furniture was overturned
and other evidence of terrific strug-
gle was found.
When Brown, a caller at the Nickel
Plate engine house, arrived l me the
radio was still turned on and he dis
covered the bodies as a jazz tune came
from the loud speaker.

ITALY PROTESTS
ATTACHES ARREST
De Martina Complains to
Kellogg That di CeIIere Was
BrutaIIy Handled.

Charging that Count Macchi di Gel
was brutally treated and arrested
without cause Friday by Tampa, Fla,
police, the Italian Ambassador today
registered an official protest at the
State Department.
Count di Cellere returned to Wash
ington yesterday, displaying a badly
discolored left eye, as a result of his
encounter with the law, which he
characterized somewhat vehemently
as "a dirty thing"
A declaration, of the young diplo-
mats version of the affray at the
Tampa fair grounds and police sta
ton. under the signature of Ambassa-
dor de Martina, was given to Secre-
tary of State Kellogg.
Count di Cellere states that a police
man wrenched his arm as he stood
near the fair ground ticket office after
he had pulled his diplomatic passport
and travellers check book out of his
pocket in an endeavor to find some
money to buy his admission. The
policeman approached him, as he was
about to depart upon the discovery
that he had no money on his person.
and demanded who he was. at the
same time ignoring MS proteStatlons
and his passport.
Two more policemen joined his first
assailant, Count di Cellere said, and
struck him repeatedly in the face and
about the body and finally locked him
up in a police station cell, where
other prisoners could view his plight.
He remained incarcerated and was
the object of further verbal and bodily
abuse from early in the morning
until his release in the middle of the
afternoon, following the arrival of the
Italian consul and the chief of police,
who apologized profusely and offered
to conduct him personally through
the fair, he said.
A report from Tampa said the dis
pute arose over the counts attempt

The qualification of Sister Marie
Marguerite de la Jemmerais. founder
and first superior of the Sisters OF
Charity, also known as the Gray Nuns
(MontreaD, now is before the sacred
congregation of rites of the Roman
Catholic Church, in Rome.

rite was first brought to the attention
of the Vatican for qualification in 1890.
The Archbishop of Montreal was then
ordered to study the merits of the
recommendation. His findings were
approved by Rome in 1909.
Well informed Catholics in Montreal
believe that. having reached the sacred
congregation. the qualification is a
virtual certainty.
Sister interchangeable died in Mon
treal in 1771.

READVERT|SE BIDS
FOR D|STR|CT TAGS
Officials Disguised by Com
edy of Errors-41 300 More
Plates Needed.

Definite steps were taken by Dis
trict officials today to end the 1927
automobile identification tag fiasco.
Completely Disguised by the COM
edy of errors that has marked their
most patient efforts to procure the
tags, the officials readvertised for bids
for furnishing Al 800 pairs, the num-
Der estimated as necessary to equip
the remaining motor vehicles still
operating in Washington with the dis
colored 1926 plates.
Maryland Penitentiary BaIks.
When Representative elect Igoe of
Illinois stepped out of the license tag
farce last week. plans were made to
give the order for those plates which
he said he could not furnish without
a heavy financial loss to himself TO
the Maryland State Penitentiary.
The penal institution submitted the
second low bid on the original con-
tract, quoting a price of 1880 cents Il
pair, and officials thought that it
would be in the interest of good bust
ness practice to allow the prison labor
to turn out the rest of the belated
tags.
But Maryland Penitentiary author
tiles did some careful calculating ana
discovered that it would be necessary
to charge Is cents a pair for the tags
at this late date, partly because the
steel it planned to use is of better
grade than called for in the specifica
lions and partly because the number
of plates wanted is considerably
smaller than called for in the original
contract.
Tired of Quibbling.
Rather than bubble any longer
over prices, etc, District officials ulti'
mately decided to put the contract
again on the open market for com
petitive bidding. Specifications already
have been mailed to a number OF
metal tag manufacturers and their
bids will be opened Monday.
NJ. G. Hargrove, District purchasing
agent, explained that the bidder who
promises the earliest delivery and
not the one who submits the lowest
quotation probably will be awarded
the contract.
So Washington motorists still using
1926 tags can expect to get the 1921
edition by May /, at least.

JAILED IN MURDER
AND PEONAGE CASE
Officials Charge Brothers,
Who Gave Up After 5 Years,
Drowned Negroes.
BY the Associated Press.


MONTICELLO, Ca, February Is
Hulon and Marvin Williams, sought
for more than five years on charges
of murder and peonage in connection
with a Federal investigation Of condi-
tions on the Williams farm in 1921.
We're in Jail today.
The two brothers surrendered to au.
thorities yesterday. Another brother.
Leroy. is under bond awaiting trial
in the case, and their father. j. S.
Williams, is serving life term in the
penitentiary.
Charged 20 Negroes Were Killed.
The Williams case came into public
notice after Department of Justice
agents visited the Jasper County farm
in the SPRING of 1921. The Govern
ment Investigators at that time
charged that more than 20 negroes
on the farm had been killed from time
to time and their bodies buried or
thrown into Yellow River. which flows
near the farm.
When officers discovered IL bodies in
shallow graves on the farm, Williams
and his three sons were indicted in
the State Court for murder and the
Federal Court held them for trial on
peonage charges.
The elder Williams. tried in the
State Court, was convicted of murder
largely through the testimony of Clyde
Manning, negro farm laborer, who
said that he had been forced to aid
the farmer in getting rid of negro
plantation workers.
Manning described how negroes that
We're to be killed were chained to-
gether and thrown into the river de.
spite their shrieks and prayers.
"Frame-Up" Alleged.
Williams denied any part in Staying
the negroes and maintained he was
the victim of a "frame-up"
The three sons of the convicted man
fled before indictments We're returned
against them. Leroy returned three
years later and asked an immediate
hearing on the murder charge. He
was acquitted and later gave bond
on the peonage charge.
Hulon and Marvin Williams are be.
lieved to have remained in hiding in
Florida since the investigation. No
statement has been given by them as
to why they returned to face their
indictments.

THE large audience interested in
i the Work Whitehead week.
ly bridge games were given an in
sight into expert bidding in the
eighth game of this season, present.
ed from station WFBM Tuesday
night, under auspices of The Times.
G. H. Levy of Hamilton, Ont, one
of Canada's foremost players, is
noted throughout the bridge world,
was the dealer, South. He opened
the bidding with one Club on these
cards: Spades, q; Hearts, K, 10, 2;
Diamonds, K, z, 4; Clubs, K, @, j,
l10. Z, s..
Following modern practice he bid
his Club suit instead of No Trump
more because of his singleton Spade
than because he lacked an Ace.
Granted the values and distribution
that would warrant a No Trump, the
fact that a hand does not contain
an Ace is no valid reason why a No
Trump should not be bid.
Mrs. Ella G. Pimm Of Montreal,
another Canadian who has won
Auction Bridge fame as player,
teacher and writer, had the West
seat at this radio game.
Her cards were: Spades, K, j, 10,
9, 6, 5; Hearts, A, j; Diamonds, j.,
8, 8; Clubs, 9, 2. Although her hand
lacked slightly the high card values
necessary for an original bid, it was
much stronger than necessary for a
defensive bid. She said one Spade.
Wilbur M. Whitehead, North,
held: Spades, 8, 4, 8; Hearts, 9, z,
6, 3; Diamonds, A, @, 10; Clubs, 8,
4, 3. Though he held normal ex-
pectancy in Clubs, his hand lacked
the supporting tricks requisite for a
first round assist. Therefore he
passed.
Milton c. Work, East, had: Spades,
A, Z, 2; Hearts, @, 8, 5. 4; Diamonds,
9, 6, 5, 2; Clubs, A, 6. He had good
assist for his partner, but of course
passed as he was not called upon to
bid.

card suit. With this distribution,
the Heart finesse would be success
full and a third round of the suit
would drop the King and establish
the Queen.
Dummy being in the lead, the
Heart finesSe could be taken imme-
diately. If it succeeded the Ace
could be led. 1t would then be nee
essary to enter Dummy again for
another Heart lead.
If the King Their dropped, still
another entry into Dummy would be
necessary to make the established
Queen. These two needed entries
could be only in the trump suit.
With an even break of the adverse
trumps, both the Ace and Z of Clubs
could be used as entries.
Her plans perfected, Mrs. Pimm
led Dummy's 4 of Hearts. Levy
played the 2; Mrs. Pimm the Jack,
Whitehead the 8. Mrs. Pimm con-
tinued with the Ace of Hearts;
Whitehead played the 6; Dummy

the 8; Dummy the 2; Levy the
Queen. The fall of the Queen rem
dered it unnecessary for Mrs. Pimm
to play for a neven break Of the

North, thus permitting the f1nesse Of

Therefore Mrs. Pimm next led
