The following day, according

Wounded Man Tries
to Save Foes Life
On Cliff Edge

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. II.
The alleged friendliness of Dam
lei Lobin for the wife of his
cousin, John Baranyk, a steel
worker, resulted in the latter,s
death after a dramatic struggle
at the edge Of a cliff high
above Brandywine Greek, two
miles from Coatesville.
Lobin, a boarder at Bara-
nyk's home at Coatesville, is in
a critical condition from gum
shot wounds at Gainesville Hos
pital.
Baranyk is said to have ac-
cused the other of undue friend
illness for his wife. An alterca-
ton ensued and when the two
men met later on the cliff,
Baranyk drew q pistol and fired,
according to the police.
Lo bin, wounded, staggered
backward. Baranyk, fearing he
had killed the other, turned the
weapon on himself. In spite of
his wounds, Lobin rushed for
ward and tried to prevent Bara-
nyk from killing himself.
AS they tottered on the brink
OF the cliff, Baranyk flung the
other to the ground and sent a
bullet into his own brain. He
died almost instantly.
,Lobin staggered to a highway.
where a motorist picked him up
and took him to the hospital.

Gives Glue ON
MISSING -FOUR

The only clue to the whereabouts
Of the two young couples who
mysteriously disappeared after a
canoe ride on the Potomac River,
Sunday night, was furnished today
by Clyde Foster, Of Glen Echo,
Nd, who after reading the de-
scription of the pairs in The Wash
ington Times. reported to Henry
A. Denham, the father of one of
the girls, that he saw a group in
Glen Echo Park that answered the
description.
Denham, who has practically
abandoned the idea that the four are
drowned, has spent the last three
days in a frantic search Of the
''shacks" up the river, thinking they
are in hiding and afraid to leave.
Since investigation has disclosed that
there was but four dollars in the
group, he is Of the opinion that
they must be somewhere in the
vicinity.
The four missing youngsters are

POSSE Trailing.
SLAIERS Of s

LOGAN, w. Va, Aug. ia
posse Of 40 Citizens and officers to-
day was combing the hills in the
vicinity Of Island Creek, near here,
for a group of supposed moon
sinners, who yesterday attacked a
party of 10 campers with rifles from
ambush, instantly killing three and
wounding a fourth man.
The campers, who said they were
hunting gingseng, included State
prohibition officer and his son. both
Of whom were killed. Officers are
working on the theory that the at
tackers, believing the party was
hunting for moonshine stills. of
which several were later found in
the vicinity, organized the attack
to protect their stills.
Those killed were Edward Hen
sley, so, prohibition officer; his son,
Donald, 10, and Ernest MarcuIn.
Howard Tomblin, seriously injured,
was brought to hospital here.
The attack occurred at a remote
spot in the forest, at noon yester-
day. and the first news was brought
here late last night by David Hen
sley, a brother of Edward Hensley.
who made his way from the camp
on foot to Logan. to obtain help.
A posse was quickly formed and
the bodies were brought here.
Two suspects were arrested in
the vicinity when the posse arrived.
but no charges have been filed
against them, and officers said thew
had little evidence to connect them
with the shooting.

STREET Staying
ENDS FUED

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug. IL.
A mysterious feud was settled
on the main street Of this city
yesterday, when one man
wrested a pistol from the hands
Of his enemy and shot him to
death.
The dead man is Dewey
Norris, Is, proprietor Of a soft
drink parlor here. He was
killed by two pistol shots fired
BY Gerry Fowler, 40, of Edge
water, South River. Fowler is
the father Of 16 children.
Grapple On Street
While scores Of startled passers-
BY looked on, the two men met.
Without q word, Norris drew a
pistol from his pocket and Fowler
grappled with him.
A brief but savage struggle fol-
lowed, in which both men fought
for possession Of the weapon.
Fowler overpowered his opponent
and secured the pistol. Stepping
back, he fired two shots into the
other mans body at close range.
The older man, with the smok-
Ing pistol in his hand, stood over
the crumpled body of Norris until
police arrived. He surrendered
willingly when they came, but re-
fused to make any statements. A
murder charge has been placed
against him.
Norris body was taken to An.
mapolis Emergency Hospital in the
hope that his life might be saved.
physicians there, however, said the
man ad died instantly, one bullet
aving penetrated his heart and the
other lodged In his abdomen.
Norris was well known In An.
napolis and other nearby towns.
Police learned he had left his place
OF business about 8 o'clock yester.
day afternoon, but could not find
out where he had spent the after
noon.
Wirr Visits Fowler.
Business dealings, according to
police, may have been responsible
for the deep-rooted hatred existing
between the two men.
Fowler had spent the day at his
home on South River but in the
evening had come to Annapolis TO
buy provisions for his wife and fam
fly. The Oldest Of the 16 children Is
~. His family knew nothing of the
shooting until notified by county
authorities.
On learning of the affair, Mrs.
Fowler came Immediately. to the
county jail where she held private
conference with her husband. Both
refused to discuss any of the details
with police or the district attorney.

a valuable adjunct to archaeological re-
search because 1t enabled him to see
at glance the layout of an ancient
ruin which would have required weeks
Of measuring on the ground.
Some 200 miles west Of Peking he
surveyed tombs of the North Wei
dynasty, which was founded by Tar
tars from Mongolia. and endured from
the fourth to the sixth century A. D..
The enormous amount of labor which
went into the construction Of these
tombs Is indicated by the size OF one.
1t Is so feet high and has circumfer.
ence of nearly half a mile, being made
entirely of earth. In front OF this was
an altar, and impressive temples UNI
doubtedly marked the site.
These temples, as Is common In
China, were of wood. and so have dis
appeared. China had no stone archi-
lecture. This Is a distinctive feature
of Chinese civilization, and explains
the absence of such ruins as the
Roman Coliseum, the Athenian

ties and dangers of moving about. He
left two Chinese Psychologists to rep
resent the Freer Gallery until he can
resume work effectively.
Archaeological Investigations in
China, Mr.. Bishop points out, have an
interest not only for the light they
throw on the history of that country.
but for the information which they
may furnish on the early history of
the Mediterranean basin. For ancient
China appears not to have been so
completely isolated from the Western
World as is commonly thought Ger
tain basic cultureal elements, like the
chart. the potter's wheel, the chariot,
the pillow. wheat, domestic animals
bronze and others are common to the
temperate zone stretching from China,
through India and Persia to Meso-
potamia and the Mediterranean. On
the other hand. none of these objects
are found to the north-that is, in what
is now Siberia; nor to the south, in
Africa. Since there are so many Of

itself, has of late years shown distinct
signs of awakening to this evil and
compelling the enforcement Of the
laws prohibiting the export of objects
of art and archaeology.
BY encouraging the younger edu-
Gated Chinese to devote themselves to
archaeology for it's own sake the Freer
Gallery hopes to aid in developing a
force capable Of coping with the curio
dealers and hating the devastation of
archaeological sites.
Finally. of course, the present po-
litical upheaval is a factor in hating
