EDWARD w. Browning, the aged
L"Daddy," should be getting to

his sensational separation suit
against his 16 year old wife,
Peaches" If the Kew Gardens
realtor had the knack for rhyme
and rhythm of the Italian poet, Ga
briel D'Annunzio, friend Of the fas-
cist dictator, Mussolini, who glor-
les in writing about his own sex
escapades, then he would not have
to depend on the frantic scribblers
Of the "ycllows" as his historians.
But these same BRASS Checkers"
do the successful American "busi-
ness man the questionable honor
Of declaring that he is getting more
space than President Coolidge has
ever received. One Hearst writer
admitted on the witness stand that
Browning tried buying him with
the offer Of a cigar, Evidently
Browning has some knowledge of
values.
Justice Seeger, the presiding
magistrate, also has some idea of
values. He refused absolutely to
have the case heard in secret,
Haunting the violent pleas of the
New YRTk Society for the Suppress
sion Of Vice. This was the judges
"chance of a lifetime" to get into
the public eye. And why shouldn't
he get vaudeville engagement, or
an offer from Hollywood, along
with Browning himself. They might
even eclipse the fame of "Galla-
CHER and Shean." 1t would at least
help continue to satiate Browning's
hunger for notoriety. If he toured
from town to town, flappers and
sheiks everywhere, old and young,
would turn out to give him public
welcome, headed by the mayor and
members of the city council, carry
ing the key of the city, SO that
"Queen Marie" now safely re-
turned to her fascist Roumania,
would turn jealous eyes toward the
shores still decorated in part by
the statue of the Goddess Of
Libertynes.

widest masses of the population on

up to January first this district had
four local unions which paid in six
months the huge sum Of S17.50, Yet
this district comes to the convention
with 80 delegates from 80 different
locals to cast 40 votes against any
thing the machine tells them is
tainted with red.
Free Speech Would Ruin Lewis.
It is quite evident that Lewis and
his henchmcn, if free discussion
were possible on the two questions
Of tabulated vote and the COMPARE
son OF the delegations with the Sec
Ietary's figures, coupled with the
tremendous loss OF membership,
which is larger than even the most
pessimistic left winger suspected,
would be thoroly discredited even in
this packed convention.
Consequently, as on Wednesday
morning, when Brophy challenged the
machine resolution on organization Of
non-union fields, made clear and
logical analysis Of the question,
pointed out the administration fail
ures and the remedy for them, four
machine speakers, headed by vice
president Murray, made bitter per-
sonal attacks on him but did not dare
to discuss his program. Neither did
the machine dare TO give Hindmarsh
of Illinois the floor to support
Brophy, altho Hindmarsh rose to
speak four times,
Rule By Gayel.
Practically the same tactics were
followed when the machine resolution
substituting non-partisan political ac-
ton for the Labor Party resolutions
was before the convention. Hind.
marsh spoke for a labor party,
Brophy made a molten to amend the
committee report and was ruled out
Of order by Lewis. Rank and file
speakers were not recognized, ma
chine speakers replied and Lewis de-
elsred the committee report adopted,
Smells Queer.
There is a peculiar atmosphere in
this convention. Even the most I'M
sophisticated delegate knows that the
union membership is represented here
only by the opposition delegates. The
Lewis administration and its most

real advances for the workers. Citing
labor's support Of the republican cor
ruptionist, Smith Of Illinois, whom
the senate has refused to seat, he
called for an end Of humiliating sur
render to the old parties.
President Pagan, Of western Penn
sylvania, and Secretary Kennedy
rushed to the committees defense,
which was upheld by about four to
one in its substitute resolution
against the Labor Party.
Young Miner in First Speech.
Young Anthony Minerich, District
5, in his first speech at a miners
convention, waded into the Citizens
Military Training Camp and militar-
ism. In ten glowing minutes he paint
ed a picture of American workers
being trained for mass murder
against their brothers in Mexico and
China. The convention roared ap-
plause, but the committees evasive
substitute resolution, referring the
matter to the next A. +. Of l.. con-
vention, was pushed thru.
Brophy, who precipitated the big
fight of the morning session by an
analysis of the unions serious situ-
alton and a warning Of the future if
an aggressive campaign is not imme-
diateiy adopted for West Virginia,
brought Lewis to his feet with a
question why the members are not
given tabulated reports on national
elections.
The emperor promises to publish
the 1926 election results TO kept
John Brophy and his Shiny friends
from saying stole the election
This swung Stevenson into action.
The huge delegations from West
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee,
where the union has completely lost
control Of the mines, were perfectly
trained. At a signal from their
leaders, Captain Percy Tetlow and
van Bittner, they booed, cheered,
stamped and shouted. Like stage
chorus, they beloved back refrains
to Bittner when he tried to tell the
convention of the gangs great work
IN giving West Virginia to the opera
tors.
Try to Ignore Howat.
Neither Powers Hapgood or Alex
Howat has been recognized even as
challenged delegates. Fearing to al
low their cases to come TO the floor,
the gang has simply ignored them,
knowing chat in a secret ballot both
would be vindicated Of trumped-up
charges.
Emperor Lewis plans to exclude
them from the floor when the creden-
tials committee completes its report.
This win bring on one Of the bitter
est fights of the week, for both men
are honored and admired even By deler
gates under machine control.

10MURDERS LAID
TO SLAIN GUNMAN
Confessed Slayer Quoted as
Saying Gangster Told Him
of Crime Series.

By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, September 2S.--
Ten unsolved murders in st. Paul dur
ing the past Is months were laid to
James Barrett, recently slain gunman,
in a statement to the police yester-
day by the gunman's confessed slayer.
Brought here from Chicago, where
he was arrested last week, Art
CWicky) Hanson told police he killed
Barrett in self-defense after the latter
had shot Mrs. Barrett and her sister,
Lillian kooser, the night of August 3.
Three other women and three men
were slain by Barrett, Hanson said, to
cover up his criminal activities, and
two policemen were killed in February,
1926, because Barrett had trouble
with them over liquor DEAL"
Holds Another Woman Involved.
Hanson said he drove Barrett's car
TO the latter's home in an exclusive
residential district here the night of
august Q. and waited while Barrett
went in and shot his wife and her sis
ter to get them out of the way" so
he could live with another woman.
Hanson said he did not know Barrett
planned to kill them.
Driving toward a roadhouse outside
the city, Hanson called Barrett
crazy" for killing his wife, according
to the police statement of Hanson's
confession, and when Barrett threat
ened him Hanson shot him dead. Five
days later Barrett's body was found.
Hanson said Barrett told him of
shooting that copper through the
head and standing over his body until
he knew he was dead.
Pictured As Maniac,
Barrett was painted in Hanson's
statement, and in other information
obtained by the police, as a desperate,
ruthless and at times maniacal killer.
After Barrett's death, it was found
his investment in an automobile
finance company here was returning
him a profit of nearly 500 day. He
employed manager to operate it and
never appeared at the Office himself.
1t was for hi-jacking some of his
liquor that Barrett killed Josephine
Brunell, Lester Wyman and William
McManus in an apartment here April
"a. Hanson said, and later Barrett
killed Jack Sullivan, a gunman who
had gone to the apartment with him,
because he thought Sullivan might
have told of the triple Staying to two
woman acquaintances, Sadie cTeddy)
Dubois and Anne Greenville. Barrett
also killed them in their home last
July 6, Hanson said. The women had
been friends of Mrs. Barrett.

Count Basil Free
Under One Charge
Now Faces Another

Although the case of Count
Basil Adlerberg, former officer in
the army of the Russian Gar,
who says he is sought by the Boil
shevistS as an enemy and now
employed in a local hotel as an
interpreter, has been re-opened
by the Labor Department on the
initial charge of false entry plac-
ed against the Russian nobleman,
it became known today that he
cannot be deported, even though
the charge of false entry is prov
en-. A provision in the laws gov
erning deportations makes 1t man
datory that the alien be sent to
the land of his birth. Adlerberg
is a Russian. and since the United
States has no deportation arrange
ments with Russia, he cannot be
deported, according to Labor De-
partment officials.
In the meantime, following a
formal hearing in his case before
the Labor Department Board of
Review, an additional charge has
been placed against the alien. The
nature of this charge is withheld.
Adlerberg was arrested several
months ago at the Carlton Hotel
by Washington police on war
rant sworn out by Baltimore i'm
migration inspector charging false
entry into the United States. The
alien was alleged to have sworn
he came into the United States to
enter a school here, and a check
up by the Labor Department de-
veloped that he had not entered
a school nor made arrangements
for entering one. After his ar
rest he was released on bond.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
CANNOT COLLECT PAY
Oklahoma Official Finds Own Act

Salary.

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 24-
Although his wage is perhaps the
lowest paid any official of this StsAe,
the lieutenant governor can't col
lect it.
Lieut.. Gov. ". ]. Holloway admits,
however, it is his own fault that he
is unable to collect the 81 900 annual
salary due him. When the Legisla-
ture met in 1925. there was no lieu
tenant governor. Gov. J. c. Walton
had been removed by impeachment
and Lieut.. Gov. NJ. L. Trap had sue
ceeded him. Holloway, as president pro
tempore of the State Senate, was next
in line of succession for governor, but
he did not believe he could collect the
lieutenant governors salary, and adj
vised the appropriation committee to
omit it from it's budget for the fiscal
biennium ending June 80, 1927.
Thus. when Holloway was elected
lieutenant governor, he discovered
there was no money available to pay
his salary for the first six months OF
his service.
