MISUNDERSTANDING
INSTITUTION TO END
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 8.-The New
York Herald-Tribune said today that
the George Washington-Sulgrave In
stitution, organized in 1914 to enShrine
the English home of George Washing
tons ancestors, is winding up its af-
fairs preparatory to ending its existence
as an independent organization.
The institution has spent half mil
lion dollars in the promotion OF Anglo
American good will by holding teas and
dinners for prominent English visitors
to this country. Enrolled among its
officers and members have been Presi-
dents Harding and Coolidge, Herbert
Hoover, Charles Evans Hughes and
other eminent Americans.
The branches of the society in Eng
land and this country split when the
varied activities of the American chap
ter caused the Sulgrave Manor under
taking to be overlooked. The English
chapter, which had bought the old
Washington homestead, accused the
American branch of failure to carry out
its part of the program, and the Ameri-
can society charged the English with
ingratitude. The controversy ended
with the creation of two separately
1lnctionina organizations.

South Carolina Capital City Has
 Free-for-Al Fight Between Two
 Groups of Its Democratic Voters
Smithites and Hooverites In Same Party Have Drawn Battle In Which Eggs Are Thrown and Speakers Hecked-"True Jeffersonians" Plan
 Another Meeting September 9.

One egg remained intact, however, and this the owner seized and pitch ed at the head of one of his oppo- nents. It landed squarely and the fighting commenced. For several minutes the free-for-all continued while a group stood on benches and cheered.
 Finally restoring order the crowd listened to George w. Beckett, a Smith bolter, make a speech. Promptly half o fthe audience left the hall and a part of the group re- maining demanded speech from R. Charlton Wright, editor of the Co., lumbia Record. who responded with an address for Smith. Both Wright and Beckett were heckled.
 The meeting came to an end by the announcement of H. o. Salley Columbia salesman, that he was secretary of the Hoover democratic club and suggestion made to him by someone on the floor that he hereafter call secret meetings be- cause they will only break up every open meeting"
 During the whole show. the cam- paign portraits of Smith and Robin. son gazed down benignly upon the scene.
New Britain herald., 1928-09-01

Columbia, s. C., Sept. 1.-R-The Smith and Anti-Smith lines in this southern capital city were fairly we'll drawn today as the outgrowth of an egg-throwing. free-for-all fighting exhibition which turned the first meeting of the Hoover democratic club of Richland couty into disor- der last night.
 The whole business appears to have ended in a draw although the Smith men claimed the distinction, at least. of having invaded an un- friendly meeting and. succeeded in getting one of their number to make a speech for the New York governor.
 Both that speech and several speeches attacking Governor Smith were accompanied by so much heckling that 1t was at times difficult to hear the orators and resolution to call meeting on September 25 of true "Jeffersonian democrats" was punctuated with so much canter- wailing that no one could say whether it had been adopted or voted down.
 The high light of the evening came about when an owner of a bag of eggs got into rough and tumble during which the bag was crushed.

 Rains Thursday night broke the heat wave that had resulted in eight deaths and numerous prostrations and yesterday and last night the temperature glided down rapidly.
 From a high point of SS degrees Thursday afternoon the temperature descended until dawn today the mercury stood just under 60 de- grees. It was a welcome relief to the city which had been bathed in intense heat since the early part of the week. Thousands had already gone to the beaches and the mountains for the Labor Day holiday, hoping to escape the high temperatures then prevailing in New York. Many were caught with only summer clothing as the cool spell started to- day.
 The forecast indicated that New York would be able to enjoy the Labor Day holiday as predictions were for partly cloudy skies with continued cool temperatures.

 Passengers Frightened
 New York, Sept. 1 (UP)-The ac- cident last Ight was of no serious consequence. But the nerves of the 75 passengers on the train gave way after they heard the booming thud of the crash, the splintertng glass. saw the sparks flying from the rail and then watched the train lights go out.
 A panic ensued. Several women on the train were reported to have tainted. Men rushed to the doors, shouting:
 "Open the doors! Open the doors"
 The excitement lasted only | few minutes but during that short period was intense. Police were able to climb down to the tracks and finally were able to calm the passengers without any serious damage from the momentary excite- ment. The doors were opened as soon as the power on the entire lines had been turned on and the pas- sensers were led safely to the JAck- son station, . few hundred feet away. Power on the lines was cut of for about 70 minutes.

Police Learn That John Weiss, Vic- tim of Poisoned Home Brew, Left Work Recently Expecting to Catch Brother at Home.

That the Weiss fratricide which was aired in police court yesterday when Samuel Weiss. aged s2, was bound over to superior court with out bonds on two counts of murder resulting from the poisoning Of home brew, might have been before the police authorities a few weeks ago. with Samuel the victim and his brother. John, the prisoner. became known today, when 1t was learned that the latter, asking to be excused from work at the Stanley Works about midnight, declared that he was headed for home to catch his wife and her paramour and if he was successful, it would be the last time they would distract him by their actions. The police believe that the night in question was one of the several occasions during the past several weeks on which Johns wife. trying to bring about cessation of her illicit relations with her broth- er-in-law. locked the door and re- fused him admittance despite his at- tempts to see her.
 silent on Trip to Jail
 Last night. Samuel and his par amour slept in cells at Hartford county jail. where they were taken by automobile yesterday afternoon by Detective Sergeant w. P. McCue and Sergeant T. J. Feeney. Sergeant McCue was at the wheel and Mrs. Weiss sat beside him. In the rear seat. Weiss was handcufred to Ser geant Feeney. According to the po- lice. not a word passed between the couple on the ten-mile trip, and the only remark Weiss made was that he had sbeen unable to sleep we'll Thursday night. Mrs. Weiss. accord ing to the police, wept slightly as the car sped.away from New Brit ain. but on the whole she was emo- tionless.
 Chief Hart Bids Good Bye" Attorney Thomas r. McDonough, who represented Weiss in court yesterday. bade him good bye at po- lice headquarters. A suit case con- taining clothing was placed in the police car for the confessed mur- derer, and as he was led out of the police station, Chief Hart bade him a cheery: Goodbye. Sam" "Good- bye." he replied, with wan smile. and as he took his seat beside Ser geant Feeney, Attorney McDonough warned him not to talk to anyone about the case. Police Continue Investigation Detective Sergeant McCue, who has had charge of the preparation of the states case, declared today that while Mrs. Weiss had not made any damaging admissions 50 far as the poisoning of the home brew was concerned. there were certain points" in her statement to the po- lice which would be looked into. The investigation will lead to cities other than New Britain" the Cer- geant said. "At present she is held as . material witness. Just what her part in the trial in superior court will be is problematical. At least she provides the motive for the crime"
