 Chicago

Chicago. March 21 (UP)--A fam tastic plot of double suicide and murder was blamed today for the deaths of Mir. and Mrs. Arthur Me Even and Robert Mackenzie. II. Mrs. McEwen's son.
 The boy was found murdered, deep in woods north of the city. His body had been burned
 Mir. and Mrs. McEwen were found dead in their city apartment Sun day, both victims of cyanide of potassium poisoning. Doctors said there was no question that the couple had made suicide pact.

On their honeymoon they had visited Canada, where McEwcn once served in the Royal Northwest Mounted Police service. Since returning to Chicago he had worked as a salesman and the family life of the three had been ideal. nciGhbors said.
 The boys body. burned almost beyond recognition, was found Sat urday and for more than two hours was unidentified.
 Sunday neighbors forced their way into the MCEwen apartment The bodies of the couplo--both fully drcssed-Wcre found on beds. Ap- parontly every preparation was made to prevent any dsarrange- ment of the house and even the folds of the woman's dress were laid about her body neatly.
 A note was found. written by Nc EWen, in which he said the boy had been sent away because he took S2o from his mother" It further added that Mrs. Mct.wen had threatened to kill the boy and herself. Also there was a request that if anything hap poned the bodies of the three should be crcmatod.

He had flown $50 miles from San Luiz De Caceres 10 Guajara Mirim, Saturday, The news of his arrival in Manaos dispellcd the anxiety that was beginning to be felt as nothing had been heard since his plane left san Luis in tow for a hopping off place Thursday afternoon. The delay was caused by which to get a proper start, The flight from San Luis 10 Guaj jara- Mirim was made in seven hours. On landing here, there was no mistaking the relief of Commander De pinedo and his two companions, who considered that the worst of their trans jungle flight was past. An impromptu parade was started. with the aviators at the head. and they proceeded 70 Sac Sehastiao church where a solemn Te Deum was sung.
 The flight from San Luis to Qua jara- Mirim was described as es- pecially hazardous. If they had been forced to land in this wilder ness, De Pinedo declared, all would have been lost. From Guaiara- Mirim to Manaos the plane paral- |lelod for many miles the "River Of Doubt" discovered by President Roosevelt.
 Commander De Pincdo in his jungle flight. covered in a few hours. q journey that by foot and canoe would have taken weeks The territory is mostly swampland infested with alligators and Brazil ian water snakes.

B0RAH DECLARES
 WAR UNNECESSARY
World Conferences Urged in
 New Haven Address

New Haven. Conn. March o1 Upt- Introduced by Professor Jerome Davis. Of Yale University, as a man deserving the highest honor the lnitod States can give him." United States Senator William F. Borah, addressing d mass meeting here yes tcrday. gave his views on problems now facing the United States and in ternational affairs as far back as tho opening of the world war.
 Senator Borah's prepared speech was devoted to the Mexican situa- ton. bat he departed from his manuscslpt many times to touch on other affairs. The senator charged hat he could see no real reason for tn" world war, condemned secret diplomacy as the cause of that great struggle with it's thousands of deaths and said that had there been an in- tcrnational conference in 1914. the world would not have been per mit!ed to rush 10 arms as it did
 Communism and Russian influence have played no part in the Mexican Gitua tfon. the Idaho senator said. de- clarinS that no country on this con- jin"nt "has been more outspokcn or HI-i'ant against communism than MeNico.' In this connection he called the attention Of his listeners to the fact that the Mexican revo- lrtion starued in 1910. seven years before the Russian revolution.
 The policies of Mexico, wise or nnWisc, the senator continued are h"r own making and she alone is responsible for those policies.
 Advocating arbitration. the sen ator expressed the belief that "per- haps the highest services in inter- national affairs which our govern mcnt can now render to the cause and peace of humanity is to demon- stratc to the world that when we have been talking about arbitra- ton and advancing the cause Of ar bi,ration through speech, we have meant what we said"
 He issued plea for tolerance in dealing with MeXico's land problem, declaring it is his opinion that Mexico Is acting in good faith. "So long as there is evidence of a sin cere effort to solve this problem in harmony Wlth our substantial right" he sad. q feel we should cooperate in a spirit of genuine help and friendship"
