er than see his wife and five children
stal've to death, Guy NJ. Taylor, a
teamster without work, killed his en-
tire family and then ended his own
life with a razor.
The tragedy was enacted probably
{. week ago, but did not become known
until yesterday, when, on the repre-
sensations of neighbor. the police
forced an entrance into the squalid
tenement occupied by the Taylors
and found seven bodies.
The dead--George NJ. Taylor, 35
his wife, 50; Elizabeth, 16: Owen, Ia;
Albert, -; Goldie. S; an infant whose
name is not known.
Wife's Throat Cut.
Mrs. Taylor's throat was cut with
a razor and Taylor committed sui.
eide with the same weapon. The
children were killed with a razor and
a bowie knife.
The appearance of the room and
the condition of the bodies indicated
that all except the boy Owen were
killed as they slept. Owen apparent
ly had struggled with his father, as
his body was found on the floor

members of the family lay in bed
where they had been slain.
Every shade was drawn and every
door was locked and bolted, indicat-
Ing to Coroner Gordon Holden and
the police Investigators that Taylor
had deliberately planned the eXtermi-
nation of his family.
Not much is known here about the
family except that they came from
Schenectady about two months ago
and that for while Taylor was en-
ployed as a teamster. He had been
out of work since February 4.
House Shows Poverty.
Poverty was apparent when the
house was entered today. The food
supply consisted of little sugar and
a. small crust of bread. Three beds,
a kitchen table, dilapidated chair
and a bench comprised the furniture.
Taylor's last pay envelope was found
empty in a closet. 1t indicated that
his last pay was $3.50.
The family was a happy one. Tay-
1or spent good part of each evening
playing on his accordion while the
children sang in chorus to the music.
1t was the absence of the music that
led to today'S investigation.
Another occupant of the building,
missing the music and noticing that
the shades were tightly drawn, re-
ported to the police that he feared
something was wrong.

Marines, Having
Broken Nicaragua,
viii Co to China

WASHINGTON, April 14-With-
drawal of at least a part of the
marines in Nicaragua in the near
future appeared likely here today.
Reports from Admiral Latimer in
dicated that the constitutional army
of Dir. Juan Sacasa has been broken
up.
The Diaz government, supported by
the Y. S. marines and warships,
"smothered" Sacasa, through pre-
venting supplies from reaching his
army.
How long he will stay smothered,
however, is another matter, in the
opinion Of Central American authori-
ties here. Once the marines and war
ships relax their control of the stu
alton, enough munitions may dribble
back into Nicaragua to start the con-
flagration anew.
There viii be no general with
drawal of the U. s. forces for some
time, although IL is expected that
some units viii be sent to China.

Filipino independence
Conference Indignant
AT Coolidge Hypocrisy

CHICAGO, April IA (FP).
Great indignation is expressed by
the Conference for Filipino indie
pendence at President Coolidge's
veto Of the bin for a referendum
in the islands on the subject Of
independence.
"The bill, passed unanimously by
both houses Of the Philippine legis-
lature," says the conference state
ment issued at Chicago headquar-
ters, "did not provide for independ-
ence. It provided merely that the
Philippine people be given the right
to say whether they wanted in
dependence or not.
. "The reasons given by President
Coolidge for his veto stamp him
as prize hypocrite Of world inn
perialism. Independence he says,
is a very appealing word. Few
people will vote against independ-
ence for themselves.
ct is now plain that if the Fill
Pine people are ever to have their
independence it can only be by con-
certed struggle on the part Of the
Filipinos themselves and their al
lies in the United States and else
where, not by the grace of our inn
perialist government"

Entire Families Wiped

ROCK SPRINGS, Texas, April ID
-Fifty-one identified dead, $50 in
jured, SO of whom are in San An
tonic hospitals, or on their way there,
and property losses exceeding $780,
600 was the latest checl1up today Of
the toll Of the disastrous tornado
that laid this town in ruins Tuesday
night.
So. far it has been impossible to
get accurate check of the number Of
missing, for in some cases all the
members of the family are either
dead or so seriously injured no coher-
emit statement can be obtained from
them. 1T is feared, however, that
many bodies viii be found in the
surrounding country, probably miles
away, carried there by the terrific
force of the tornado.
Searchers today were scouting the
countryside in the neighborhood of
the town, seeking the missing. Sew
eral of the injured were blown dis

SCOTT NEARING TELLS HOSTILE COLLEGE STUDENTS
A FEW THINGS

low-students last week., that the
meeting would be held off the cam
pus, at the university Y.M.C.A. build
ing. He was also advised that in
stead of advertising the lecture to be
on British Imperialism as was pre-
viously arranged, the club had an
nounced the subject to be Can Stu
dents Make History? ?"
Mathams made it plain, however,
that Nearing was to bring the ques-
ton Of British Imperialism into the
lecture and was by all means to be
radical as he wished. The advice
was hardly necessary. Nearing as
sured the officers of the Labor Club
that once the meeting opened and he
was allowed to start, then he would
certainly finish his intended lecture.
1t need hardly be said that no dis
turbance was made. All the students
were quiet and attentive. The boys
who had come to sneer, remained-not
exactly to cheer,-but to be educated.
"What he said wasn't radicalism,
but common-sense," remarked one of
the fraternity boys. The innocent
child (who was short on grammer)
didn't know that "radiealism" and
"common-sense" are synonyms!

BY a NIcGiI COLLEGE Student

The authorities at McGill College in
Montreal are dead set against radical
ideas. In this they differ from most
of their students who wouldn't recog
nize a radical idea if they came in
contact with it!
This was proven few days ago
when Professor Scott Nearing adj
dressed a gathering Of about two
hundred McGill College students on
the subject of Can Students Make
History?" The officers of the Nc
Gill Labor Club who sponsored the
meeting had delicate job on their
hands. The authorities had prohibit
ted the meeting from being held any
where on the campus, and had re-
fused to allow any notices about the
meeting to be put up. At the same
time a rumor had spread that some
fraternity boys would attend the
meeting with the view of breaking
it up if the speaker got too radical.
Hence the nervousness felt by the
officers of the Labor Club.
When Scott Nearing arrived he was
informed by the secretary Philip
Mathams (who was sandbagged for
his radical utterances by some fell

Pennsylvania Railroad on the other.
In railroad quarters the opinion is
held that this attempt to create a
fifth trunk line system in the east
is a step in the development Of the
amalgamation process which has been
led by the New York Central on the
one hand and the Pennsylvania on
the other. Loree is a natural ally Of
the Pennsylvania, while the Baltimore

He is said to control the Cotton Belt.
TO Smash Brotherhoods.
About the year 1913 Loree in u
public speech to railroad officials de-
clared in substance that he would
welcome an opportunity to smash the
railroad brotherhoods, and that the
executives should adopt means-with
arms If necessary cope with their
power. In January, 1914, group of
employees in train service on the d. &
II. were discharged under conditions
which brought on a strike. All four
train service hrotherhoods together
with the telegraphers, quit work for
1914 hours. Everything stopped still.
Loree surrendered. His general man
ager and superintendent were let out,
with several minor officials. Loree
never again attacked the brotherhoods
in the open. But he remained their
bitter enemy.
During hearings on the Watson
Parker rail mediation bill in the last
congress, he led the minority Of rail
executives who refused to agree ever
to deal with their employees under the
terms provided by this legislation.
