 The dead are: Frank S. Warren. 42; his wife, Edith J. Warren. and their 13.year-old son. Jackson S.
 The boy was slain in his bed ap- parently as he slept, a 22 calibrc bullet passing through his body just above the heart and lodging in his pajamas. He had been shot while the bed covers were pulled back and the covers had then been drawn over him so that firemen at first thought he had been overcome by smoke.
 The bodies of the parents, burned SO that it was difficult to distin- guish them. were found lying across the bed springs in Mrs. Warren's room. The bed and other furniture had been burned to ashes by the flames which were confined almost entirely to that room.
 The automatic pistol with which the boy was killed and a discharged cartridge were found among the covers of his bed. A 3S calibre rifle was found in the room of the par ents. Both weapons were said to have been owned by Warren.

j. B. ALLEE WALKING AS FUSION CANDIDATE Wants Nomination for Mayor on Both Major
 Tickets

J. E. Alice Is a candidate for the mayoralty nomination. He stressed the point today that he is not run ming for office, but is walking. He wants 10 be nominated on a fusion ticket of republicans and democrats.
 Mir. Allee's official proclamation announcing his intentions is as fol- lows:
 The spokesman for the president of the Third Ward Republican club hegs to advise that at meeting of the executive committee at republi- can headquarters at 8 o'clock to- night, MT. Alice will address the committee as candidate for the fusion nomination for mayor.
 He states that he is standing for the nomination at the republican and democratic primaries Friday next on the blank space on the ballots.
 The voters will select the candi- dates. They may write the names of such persons as they wish in the blank space on the ballot.
 Under the law. Mir. Alice as- serts, such blank spaces must be provided on the official primary bal lots. This was not done at the primary held March 1a.
 ''The executive committee will consider recommending the ap- pointment of an official expert ad- wiser for the city government instead of the proposed advisory council. Mir. Alice thinks there are enough debating societies at the city hall.
 'Mr. Alice stands on his record as unofficial adviser.
 He states he regards his leading opponents for the nomination for mayor as estimable gentlemen of unquestioned ability but with the unfortunate habit of agreeing on wrong policies at times.
 ''Mr. Alice says he is not run ming for the nomination; he is walk ing. so to speak, to give the party voters an opportunity to have a choice.
 "The event is in the hands of Fate, rests with the pencils of the voters.
 Yours truly.

Hartford. March 2s UP)-While stephen Hoppe recovers from . bullet wound in his lung and awaits trial as a super bandit" in June, bit by bit of his colorful career is being brought to light by detectives.

 Woman His Downfall
 The trail of banditry and violence which police say they have uncov- ered through Helen" has caused detectives to regard Hoppe as a criminal more versatile than Gerald Chapman. famed super bandit" who was hanged for his crimes in this state.
 The trail began in 1922 when Hoppe was placed on probation fol- lowing conviction on a charge of breaking and entering at Quincy, Mass.
 There followed a series of robber- ies and burglaries In Boston and vicinity in which evidence indicates Hoppe was implicated, police say.
 The next definite trace of the man was when Maine authorities sought him in 1924 for robbery and he was apprehended at Boston, seated at The wheel of an automobile contain ing burglars tools

More Or Less True

l More Or Less True l The reason a good many girl
 marry is because they haven , learned from their mothers ex 1 perienee that it is a darn sigh harder to love a husband than i is d lover.
 Many a wife thinks her husband was just given a head so he coulf have homething to take his hat of to lay some place it didn't belong
 If romance could survive the first of the month bills, the way 1t can parental objections, the di- voree lawyers would belong to the idlest of our idle class.
 When a woman makes a mis- play in bridge she knows from the look she gets what a fine bawling out she'd be given if she. was the partners husband.
 Mothers may be crazy to act as master of ceremonies at a swell wedding, but father would rather have an old maid on his hands than the kind of son-in-law he knows daughters boy friend would make.
 An egotist is a husband who thinks if his wife. knowing him as well as she does, had it to do over again she would be crazier than ever to marry him.
 When father is worrying over his golf and mother over her bridge game, the children don't have to worry much about hay ing their style cramped with too much home training.
 You don't know what intolerance really is if you never have seen a snob in a group of women she considers beneath her.
 At that we'll bet the girl who gets a boys hair cut uses his language and smokes and drinks like him, wishes to heaven she could go the limit and dress like him when the icy breezes blow.
 Another job that would probably have been even more discouraging for old Diogenes would have been to ask him to search for something a modern girl wears that could be starchedl

The death of Representative Oldfed of Ar Kansas takes from the House industrious man who had done a great deal of work for the Democratic Party without making enemies on the other side Of the aisle. In fact, the House would be apt to agree that he was in many respects the most popular man in it. For partisan to have achieved this position is a triumph of personality. In the instance of MT Oldfeld it was due to qualities of manliness and kindiness lie had no briiance of the kind which makes Speaker Longwcrth popular with the Demo- crats as With his own party.
 MT Oldheld had long been the Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committed It was he who was supposed to conduct the off-year campaigns to elect members of the House and when no campaigns were on his job was to issue statements about the trumphs and virtues of the Democrats and the defeats and sins of the hepuD1cans. The thousands who have read his statements could hardly have visualized the simple, kindly, optimistic man who wrote them He believed that the hope of the country was Tn his party and that the Republicans live on privilege, but he did not apply this primitive reasoning te individuals The House will miss nm and the many Democratic members whose district campaigns he encouraged and bened to finance will be sorry that he has gone
