sumption Of normal relations be-
tween the two countries.

sive intentions against Lithuania.

Count Because Wife Suicided
After Argument

Chicago, Nov. 26.-(R)-For
"goading his wife to DEATH" 90
year-old Kendall Coween was held
today on q charge Of manslaughter.
Although Cowgen did not return
to his home until three hours after
his wife, Viola, Is, had taken her
own life by gas, police blamed him
for her death, saying that an argu-
ment during which he became BIT
ter was what led his young wife to
suicide.
II got angry and said bitter
things" Cowgen told police. "Then.
I slammed the door and went out.
Three hours later, when / went
back found her Dead"
Police Sergeant Martin Walsh,
who ordered the manslaughter
charge against Cowgcn, said Cow
gen is the first husband arrested

life somewhat similar to the "com.
panionate" union advocated bv form-
er Judge Ben Lindsey Of Denver.
Both were to work, and there were
to be no children. After coming

LAST ATTEMPT
MADE TO SAVE
RUTH SNYDER
DR.. Neymann, of Leopold Loeb
Case Fame, Called to Make
Psychoanalysis

New York, Nov. 28.-(AP)-Upon
DR.. Clarence ]. Neymann, Chicago
psychiatrist who testified for Leo.
pold and Loeb, today depended the
defense's hope of saving Mrs. Ruth
Snyder, convicted with Henry Judd
Gray of the murder Of her husband
from death.
Suppressed pages Of the confes-
sions of Gray and Mrs. Snyder were
regarded by counsel as providing
vital material for DR.. Neymann,
summoned here from Chicago in q
la..-minute attempt by Attorney
Edgar F. Hazelton to set up q
parallel between the Snyder Staying
and the murder of 13-year-old Bobby
Frank, for which Leopold and Loeb
escaped the death penalty. |'
On the basis of DR.. Neymann's
conclusions from the confessions
and q psychoanalysis of Mrs. Sny-
der, Hazelton hoped to be enabled to
argue before Governor Smith that
Mrs. Snyder was impelled to the
crime by influences that overpow-
cred her conception Of right and
wrong.
Case of "Folie q Deux"
It was understood that the Gray
Sndyer defense would seek to show
that Gray and Mrs. Snyder comprise
q case of "folie q deux," rare COM
bination known to psychiatry and
literally translated as "insanity of
two"
First use of the defense in Amer
lean jurisprudence, it is believed, was
in the case Of Leopold and Loeb.
It implies q complementary insan-
ity; that is, one would have lived q
normal life if he had not. met the
other.

POLICE HAVE
DIFFICULTY IN
SAYING SUTTEE
OnlOOkers For q Time Prevent
Them From Removing Wom-
an From Funeral Pyre

London, Nov. 2s.-l@-After
suffering intense agony in the
flames of her husbands funeral
pyrc in an attempt to perform the
ancient rite of the suttee--self i'm
notation Of the widow with the
body of her husband-a Hindu
widow at Barb, in the Patna dis
trict of India, was rescued by the
police, dispatch to the Daily Mail
from Allahabad, India, says. The
police experienced difficulty in res
cuing the woman because Of a hos
tile Hindu mob.
On learning of the widows intcn-
tion, 5000 Hindus gathered around
the funeral pyre on the banks Of
the Ganges. The local police tried
to prevent her, but the Hindus in
terfered.
Crowd Applauds
The living woman and her dead
husband lay burning on top Of the
pyre, while the crowd applauded
excitedly.
The widow, however, was unable
to bear the torture. She rolled to-
ward the river clutching her hus-
bands body, which disappeared in
the current. The police, despite the
hostility Of the crowd, rescued the
woman.
She, however, refused to leave
the funeral pyre and the onlookers
prevented the police from removing
her. She lay there for two days
while thousands Of Hindus flocked
from the surrounding districts to
pay homage to the woman who, in
their eyes, had gained great relig-
ious merit by her act.
Police We're eventually reinforced
and took the injured woman away.
Three ringleaders in the ceremony
were arrested.
The suttee is now very rare in
India in fear Of the penalties inn
posed since 1892 which extend even
to those who abet the rites as
"guilty Of culpable homicide"

OIL SCANDAL
Is SCORED BY
SENATOR NYE
Use of Money to Control Gov.
ernment Called DemOcracy's
Greatest Menace

Boston, Nov. 2S.-(AP)-Use OF
money for the control of govern
ment constitutes the greatest men,
ace to American democracy, Senator
Nye, Republican, of North Dakota,
declared here last night in an ad-
dress at the Ford Hall Forum.
Selecting the oil scandal as the
''most fragrant example" Of the
place the American dollc- is given
in American government, Senator
Nye said there was involved the
purchase of the administrative
branch Of the government" large
expenditures in the effopt to side
track a congressional investigation
and finally an effort of wealth tc
subvert justice in the criminal trial
Sometimes Justified
II have never cen an advocate OF
capital punishment" the North Da-
kota senator said, "but when l see
what men Of the type Of Sinclair
and Burns are attempting to do, anG
succeeding in doing, / can oily con.
fess myself as seeing occasions
when capital punishment is alto
gether proper.
"They and their kind. with the
means which are at their command
constitute a. threat against our we'll.
being as q nation thousands of times
greater than that afforded bv all the
reds in creation combined! They
and their kind have no regard fol
justice except in its use against foes
Justice they regard with utter con.
tempt. in 80 far as they themselves
are concerned"
The young senator viewed the oil
scandal as q natural elimination o1
a system under which he contende(
the wealthy bought favors of gov.
ernment by liberal contributions tt
the "war chests" Of the two major
political parties during nationa
campaigns.

STATE OF WAR EXISTS

Geneva, Nov. 28.-(N-Increased
tension between Poland and Lith-
uania is indicated with the receipt
by the League Of Nations today OF
two new communications from the
Kovno government containing ex-
tracts from Polish newspapers
which Lithuania insists prove that
Poland seeks to secure the over
throw Of the existing regime Al
kovno.
Premier Waldemaras Of Lith-
uania first sent Sir Eric Drum
mond. League secretary, a memor-
andum containing various declara-
tions in the Warsaw press and fol
lowed this up today BY q telegram
containing further extracts which
he alleged demonstrated clearly that
Warsaw was fomenting the organi-
zation of a military offensive de-
signed to secure the downfall Of the
kovno government.
The Lithuanian premier asked
that these communications be at.
tached to and considered in connec-
tion with Kovno's original appeal ia
the league against the arrest Of
clergy and the closing Of Lithuanian
schools in tn wilma district, whose
occupation by Poland Lithuania re-
fuses to recognize.
Russia's Stand
With the Lithuanian-Polish con-
flict worrying the diplomats who
are beginning to gather here fol
the meetings of the preparatory
disarmament commission and the
league council, the Russian delega-
tion made clear today that it will
not assent to the disarmament de-
iberations being confined merely to
the appointment Of = special Eom-
mittee to study international secur-
ity.
A soviet spokesman told the As
sociated Press that Maxim Litvin-
off. head of the Russian delegation.
will explain in detail Russia's views
ON the reduction Of ornaments, be-
lieving that now is the time to
thrash out the entire problem in its
broad aspects and feeling certain
that the situation can best be met
by a frank exposition Of the ideas
of various countries.
He recalled that soviet Russia
had proposed a reduction in arma-
ments to her Baltic neighbors but
that the latter had refused to listen
to the soviet initiative. He added
that soviet Russia now would make
more general proposition.
The spokesman declined to say
whether Russia would join the se-
curity committee which will take up
the problem of security in relation
to disarmament.

PUTS CRIMP IN
lands AWARD
Scab Painters Are Left
in the Lurch

Progress was made in kicking over
the Lands award when number of
painting contractors, formerly operat-
ing under the Lands award, signed an
agreement after negotiations with the
painters district council. 1t is gen
orally understood that not all of the
contractors are going to sign up, but
a goodly number have come into line.
At the same time they signed an
agreement with the Building Trades
Council looking to uniformity Of con-
-ditions. That is, they agree not to
ask union men to work on the same
JOB with non-union men- of-another
craft.
A sort of gentleman's agreement
was also made with the district coun-
Gil of the painters by which the con-
tractors will be allowed till Jan. 81 to
close up work already contracted for
and arrange their affairs so that after
that date they will employ only union
painters.
The painters, on their hand, are
willing to accept into their ranks in
the union any man not previously con-
nected with the union who can now
pass the district councils examination
and will pay the initiation fee, but
will bar out absolutely any former
union painters who turned scab and
worked under the Lands award.
