masters, and then in peace retire, into
the ring I'd shy two casters, and run
with pep and fire. The trust is great,
and I might grab it, resolved to do my

which makes Of men a jest. 1t seems

The President would call an inter
national conference to consider adj
visibility of adding thirteenth month

being drafted by Chairman Porter of
the House foreign affairs committee for
introduction at the present session.
The old system of enumeration would
be ushered out and the new uShered in

resolution proposes.
Numerous other nations are anxious
for the change, the chairman said, and
he will press for action on his resolu-

a strong movement for the 13-month

VOODOO MURDER
HEARING IS SET
Protested Witch Doctor and
Two Youths to Be Ar
raigned Wednesday.
By the Associated Press.

YORK, Pa, December 3.-John Bly,
3nyer, professed witch doctor, and two
youths, Wilbert Hess. Is. and John Cur
~, IA, will be arraigned Wednesday
lcharged with the murder of Nelson D.
Rehmeyer, county authorities announc-
ed today.
Rehmeyer. recluse farmer, was kill
ed last Tuesday night, according to
statements made by the defendants,
during a struggle when they attempt
ed to cut a lock of hair from his head.
The hair was to be buried deep in the
ground as a charm to break a spell
or hex" alleged to have been cast
over the Hess home.
Powwow Practitioner.
While the aged farmer was being
buried yesterday, Blymyer' enlarged
from his statements to police and said
that Rehmeyer himself was powwoW
practitioner and firm believer in the
practice of witchcraft, "heXing" and
other forms of mysticism carried on in
some rural districts.
Blymyer said the desired lock of hair
had not been obtained because Reh-
meyers hair was bloody and he was
;fraid to take a lock, as it might do
more evil than good. Police also quoted
him as saying that the motive for the
Staying had been partly to obtain a
handbook on witchcraft which the re-
clues was supposed to possess. The
book, MY Long Lost Friend" was said
Ito contain many of the formulae and
practices used in pow-wowing.
Investigation Promised.
Speaking in the absence of District
Attorney Hermann, who is Ill, County
detective Ralph w. Keech said that
Thorough investigation would be made
lof the case in its various angles. He
iintimated that hundreds of residents of
this section, particularly farmers, had
been "f1eeced" by voodoo doctors and
spow-wow practitioners. Many OF
Those who deal in superstitions handed
down from pioneer days will be ques-
toned, he said, as to their practices
and experiences in witchcraft.
Police today declared they had no
evidence linking Glymer with the STAY
ing several years ago of 16-year-old
Gertrude Rudy. She was believed by
some to have been victim of witch
craft practices, but the motive for her
death has never been learned.
AS officers continue their 1nveStlga-
ltion their conviction increases, they
say, that the motive was robbery, at
least so far as Blymyer is concerned
The officers said they place some re-
lance In the witchcraft story as told by
WILDER and Hess, but look upon Hess
as a dupe Of Blymyer.
Alderman W. F. Owen and Detective
Ralph w. Keech have learned that
Rehmyer kept $500 in stone jar in
the kitchen cupboard. This jar is re-
ported missing
