4-DAY SLUMBER
IS FATAL

After an uninterrupted sleep of
nearly 100 hours, Samuel S. Dali
ton. SO, 1901 Argonne Pl. n. w,
died peacefully in his home at 8
a. m. today.
The best efforts of physicians to
diagnose his mysterious illness had
been unavailing. 1t was not sleep
ing sickness, they say, nor any form
paralysis. DR.. j. c.. Wynkoop, the
family physician, has advanced the
theory that Dalton was suffering
from a brain tumor but had nothing
to substantiate this belief.
The dead man complained of
fatigue Saturday morning, and after
lying down, Immediately fell into a
heavy sleep. Several strenuous eff.
forts were made to arouse him, but
his only response was a flicker of
the eyelids Friday.
Physicians will attempt to secure
permission to examine the body in
an effort to determine the nature
of the malady. Dalton is survived
by his widow and a daughter,

MEXICAN MESS

His assumption that the present
religious situation in Mexico in
validated his first marriage and left
him free to again marry. is claimed
by police TO be responsible for the
predicament in which Lauro Coma
lez, Baltimore carpenter. today finds
himself.
According to Baltimore police,
Mrs. Mary Gonzalez, 1905 Linden
Ave, Baltimore, yesterday told them
that her husband had married an
other woman and was living with
her They communicated with local
police and learned that Gonzalez
had been married here on December
81, 1926, to Miss Mabel Slower. of
Baltimore. At about the time this
information was transmitted. it was
learned that the second Mrs. Con
zalez became a mother yesterday.
When faced by the charge. Con
Zalez told police, it is claimed. that
he and his first wife were married
in Mexico City by a Catholic priest.
but since that religion is not now
recognized in Mexico, his first mar
riage had become illegal. He has A
16-year-old daughter by his first
marriage.
The first Mrs Gonzalez today said
that she first learned of the second
marriage last February when in.
formed of it by her husband. He
had been living with her until that
time, she said, but announced his
intention of going to Chicago. Re-
Gently she learned that he was again
in Baltimore with his second wife.
After learning of the second mar
riage, Mrs Mary Gonzalez said that
she approached the second wife and
was informed by her that she did
not know of GonZalez's first mar
riage.
Gonzalez was brought here last
night by Detective Howard Ogle and
will face trial here, since he OBJ
tanned his marriage license in Wash
ington for his second wedding.

aside from the home" he de-
clared, there is no better place TO
begin teaching the orisn of life
than in the church school. We
shouldn't make a mystery of sex.
We should not treat it as something
sacred but as a matter of-fact func-
ton, so that it will not be over
emphasized in the juvenile mind.
Those who teach it to children
should be very carefully selected
and trained. You can begin with a
discussion of the differentiation and
various duties of sex in the home. -
Society o. X. He Says
DR.. Dexter expressed the view
that there is nothing wrong with
modern society but that 1.-The
ignorance and stupiciSv of some
people are trying to drag us back
into the mid-Victorian era of ignoI
ance, hypocrisy and unnecessary
alarm"
He added that nowadays a family
cannot be held together except by
affection. Long ago. Ne pointed out,
the family was often held together
by outside pressure, even when the
married state was unbearable to the
woman.
Frederick T. McGill, of Newton
Highlands, Mass, vice president of
the Unitarian Young Peoples Re-
ligious Union, deplored the tendency
Of modern young people TO neglect
church and Sunday school. This, he
attributed, to a feeling among ''flam-
ing youth" that religion is becoming
mid Victorian"
Liberal young people have no
fear of consequences if they miss
church service" he stated. "They
fear no evil results in this world or
the next. Neither do they feel
duty in the matter"
The IrreligiOus Age
DR.. Horace Westwood of Toledo.
chairman of the Association. last
night told the convention that the
world is about 10 enter the most
irreligious age in history, religion
languishes, the light of faith grows
dim and science has made agnostics
OF millions. La.
DR.. Westwood hit straight from
the shoulder on subjects which, he
said, the modern church has a ten
dency to ignore. 1.-THE anti-evo.
luton legislation in the South" he
declared, sis a pathetic expression
of a fear that religion will perish
from the earth.
The popular convention OF
science is that it is antagonistic to
all religion. The skeptfcal irreligion
OF the age is not confined to the
intellectual but has reached the
man on the street.
THE belief is widespread that
modern science has reduced mans
moral and spiritual nature to the
reactions OF his nervous system;
that all art, science and literature
is simply the result of biological
function; that man is of no import
ance or dignity; and that all the
beauty of life is an illusion.
We must stand for a new age
Of faith and for new theology
based on a spiritual Interpretation
of life"

PL A n s
To BE STUDIED

A final decision as to the
character of the approaches to the
Arlington Memorial Bridge will be
reached by the Fine Arts Com
mission at its monthly meeting
next Friday.
1t is regarded as a certainty
that the commission will approve
the plan of maintaining the road
way in West Potomac Park, along
the sea wall. at its present level
and arch over this roadway with
the. final span of the bridge This
original plan contemplated placing
the sea wall automobile road on the
same grade as the bridge and
creating plaza at the eastern
terminus of the structure.
This plan also proposed the con.
struction of water gate directly
north of the bridge.
With the approval of the new
plan, it is anticipated that work
upon the superstructure of the
Arlington bridge will proceed with.
out further delay. Virtually all the
work upon the piers and abutments
has been completed.

SUICIDE s NOTE.
BLAMES WIFE

Leaving a note accusing his wife
and Fred Thompson of being
his murderers, white man, as
yet unidentified. waded into Rock
Creek under the NJ Street Bridge
and committed suicide by drowning
shortly before IL a. m. today.
Rescue Squad No. l. under Lieut..
W. 6. Barader. worked on the man
for more than an hour. when he
was pronounced dead by DIR. r.
Steeley who had been summoned
from Columbia Hospital nearby.
Attracted by a pile of clothing on
the bride path directly under the
bridge, a young woman looked
towards the creek and saw the
mans body floating about five feet
from the bank. The police, sum-
moned by the girl, pulled him out
with a pole and the rescue squad
came with a pulmotor.
Note Is Found
Examination of the mans clothing
by Detective S. E. Stroman, of Pre-
cinct No. z, brought forth this note,
written on two sides of a piece Of
paper:
Dear Jennie-When you had me
you no good. You lied to me-and
could not you have little principle
left yet. Now l saw Frenchie and
told him everything. He don't think
you are such fine woman. Now
they will find me in Rock Creek and
you and Fred Thompson are the
murderers-
Love for the last time.
"DORSY."
On the back Of the same sheet was
written another note, severely con.
demning his wife.
After removing his collar, when
he took off his clothes, he wrote on
the collar my wife and the Fred
Thompson are the cause of this.
Notify Virginia Poston, 1541 Ram
sey St., Baltimore. Md, nay wife's
aunt"
A sealed stamped envelope was
found with the other note addressed
to. Miss Virginia Poston, care OF
j. E. Reilly, at the Ramsey Street
address in Baltimore.
Was About as Years Old
The man was about As years old;
a blond and stockily built. He was
about feet inches tall, and had
bristly blond moustache.
The suit piled up on the bank,
which led to the discovery of the
mans body, was blue, with a white
thin stripe.
While the rescue squad worked
on the man with the pulmotor
within a few feet of where he
started his wade towards death,
hundreds of spectators lined every
vantage point, looking into Rock
Creek even from the wooden timber
of the incompleted NJ Street Bridge
which has been closed to traffic
for several years. The police re-
serves had to be called to handle
the crowd and prevent accidents
and possible falling through the
open spaces in the bridge structure.

FALL FLOWERS

Summer has fled over the hill,
leaving q bill for Fall to fiji.
OctOber's fair flowers have won,
Each little face place in the sun.
Every gay aster, shaggy and sweet,
Mods her head glad to greet.
Roses flare in their last brave bloom,
Ere whitening winter sets their doom.
Chrysanthemums, both humble and
proud,
Grace the autumn with a glorious
shrOud,
Golden beauty in a frosted setting,
DlVerting sad ones from their frettlng.
The bees. the. birds and butterflies,
IingeF till their last friend dies.
Seeking honey from each lovely face,
Spreading their beauty every place.
And every dahlia, a stately queen,
Holds brilliant head on throne Of
green,
But the last scarlet rose OF Fail
Il the sweetest flower Of them all.

TIGERS CAN GET SISLER
BY GIVING SOME TALENT

team who paid no attention to train
ing rules or to any other rules. Some
of them amused themselves in ways
that suggested the antics of country
clowns.
Some of the players who treated
Siser more shabbily than others are
not with st. Louis now. The man.
aSement ridded the team Of some of
the ciownish element year ago and
the job is still going forward.
Perhaps if Sisler got away from st.
Louis it would prolong his base ball
usefulness lie has been in that city
from the start of his major league
career, and his experiences in base
ball have been depressing more than
eXhilerating. When at the top of his
skill his eyes became afflicted and he
became half blinded During the past
season it is said his eyes bothered him
less than in 1926, If he could leave
the atmosphere of ST. Louis behind
! him and Join team making fight
for the pennant, he might step livelier.
The Browns have a young first

mighty good minor league base ball

and evidently McNeeley is to play

transferred by the Browns.
Evening star., 1927-11-29

Two American League clubs are
willing and eager to acquire the serv.
ices of George Sisler, star first base
man of the st. Lous Browns. but a
deal involving Sisler is hanging fire,
because neither club wishes to give
st. Louis what it wants in exchange.
Detroit can make such trade. The
Detroit mana agement would have to
give something in exchange, lnclud-
ing a first baseman. according TO IN
formation that comes from st. Louis.
nv Cobb once said that the great
trouble he had as manager at Detrolt
was due to the unwillingness OF Presl-
dent Navin to give anything in ex-
change for players.
"If he had thawed out a little ]
could have had Paul Waner, SAID
Tv. But he didn't thaw."
George Moriarty, who now manages
the Detroit team, says he can't WIN
pennant with his outfit If 1t Is not
strengthened He might have added
that he will be lucky to do as well IN
1929 as he did in 1927 if his team
isn't strengthened, for there Is noth'
ing at Detroit that will surpass NIL
ler Higgins collection of sWatters'
known as the New York Yankees.
Sisters story is that of a good, con
scjentious player to whom fate has
been unkind. For two years in success
sion in the training season in Flofldf'
the st. Louis players abused the con
f,deuce of Sisler numerically While nc
was their manager. He was so absorb
cd with an afiiiction OF his eyes that ne
seemed TO have withdrawn from tui
activity. There were players on M.
