Involved in Staying

His first public appearance as a
labor leader was in 1899, when he
founded the Industrial Workers OF
the World.
In 1907 he was involved in the
assassination of Governor Steunen-
berg of Idaho. His trial, with two
other defendants, was a national
sensation.
Senator William E. Borah served
as prosecutor and lost the case to
Clarence Darrow, the Chicago
criminal attorney, who was en-
ployed by the defense. Haywoods
acquittal was said to have been the
result ola too elaborate confession"
submitted by one Harry Orchard and
purporting to involve big Bill" as a
conspirator in the bombing.
The assassination Of the Idaho
Governor was an outgrowth Of the
troubles of the old Western FEEDER
alton of Miners in which Haywood
was a leader.

MOSCOW, May 18-William (Big
EilD Haywood, former "uncrowned
king of the I. w. w" in the United
States, died in self-imposed exile
here today in his Goth year.
Haywood's condition had been crit
ical for several weeks after long

was arrested more than a month
ago, but the communists heart was
too weak to survive the treatment
Haywood had been a fugitive from
American justice since 1921. when
he came to Russia to escape serving
a 20-year prison sentence for OBJ
structing the war.
The sentence was imposed on
big Bill by Judge Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands in Chicago in 1918.
Flees to Russia
BY the time the court upheld his
sentence. Haywood was gone. Here
in Russia he was received readily
by the Communists, whose doctrines
he had ,championed so successfully
in the United States.
big Bill" was brought to hos
pital here three weeks ago, re-
sponded to treatment satisfactorily,
and was released. Later his heart
went bad and he was returned to
the hospital, where he died today
at 10:40 a. m.
Haywood never succeeded in
making the name for himself here
that he had enjoyed in America.
In Russia he was not considered
unusual, as his political and eco

the doctrines of the masses.
Haywood was born in Salt Lake
City, the son of a poor miner. He
grew up among laborers and de-
veloped the spirit of unrest that
marked the mining and lumber
camps of the West in the late
nineties.

M0DERNIzED GIRLS
 IN FOREIGN LANDS
Evidence Of American Influence
 Seen Abroad

New York, Jan. 5.1R-At a re- cent conference of educators at the Horace Mann school auditorium, Broadway and 120th street, Dr. Mary E.. Woolley. president of Mount Holyoke college. emphasized the American schools and colleges abroad for the education of wom- en, particularly Constantinople Col lege. as giving tangible evidence" of the part this country has played in modernizing the women of for eign countries.
 T question whether the influence of American education upon women of foreign countries has not been even more significant than its influ- ence upon men," Dr. Woolley said. Take. as an illustration, the women of China. The men of Old China had educational opportunities, limited to a small group. not popular in our interpretation of the word but giv- ing to the masculine side of Chinese humanity a chance to join the ranks of the scholar, to devote their lives to that pursuit held in greatest re- spect, given freedom and oppor- tunity to develop their scholarly ability to the utmost.
 For girls the situation was total ly different. We are told that occa- sionally in the more privileged and progressive families they had some share in the instruction under pri- vate tutors, being taught penman- ship, painting, poetry, music. con- mitting to memory some of the classics as we'll as being trained in ethics adn etiquette but this was ex- ceptional. girls in general having not even the rudiments of education.
 "The impetus to the education of women came from foreign countries; the first school for girls opened by an English woman at Ningpo in 1888 was soon followed by American schools, eleven for girls established in the five treaty ports between 1si7 and 1ss60, one in Picking and one ir Tientsin in 1864 and the pioneer school in Central China at Kiukiang in 1873.
 That 1t was an innovation, thie education of girls. and one to be re- garded with suspicion. is indicated by the social status of the early pu- pills, most of them from homes Of the poor, some of them foundlings and little slave girls induced to come by promises of food, clothing and even shelter. Not very promising material. 1t would seem. but from this humble beginning grew the

SECRET Of DAVIS

Lon Which Discovered" TeIls
 M Wdl Recalled

New York, Jan. N-Edgar B. Davis. who probably is best known as the 'angel'' of the only free show ever presented on Broadway. today was revealed as man who 'grubstaked" a friend for $s.0o0.- poo in gratitude for . t57.000 loan which led to his own entry into the millionaire class.
 The friend was Frank A. Seiber- ling, known as the Napoleon of the rubber industry" The two men met in New York 20 years ago when Davis was president of the United States Tire & Rubber company and Seiberling was head of the Good year Tire & Rubber company.
 Davis later quit the rubber in- dustry and spent his entire fortune in . vain search for oil in Texas. Pressed for money, but confident he would strike oil. he appealed to Seiberling, whom he had not seen for ten years. Seiberling loaned him $57,000. Davis struck oil, and sold his holdings to the Standard Oil con1pany for $1c,ooo,o0o.
 In 1920, finding himself out of Goodyear and virtually "broke," !" seiberiing organized rubber con- pany bearing his name. His assets were taken over. by the Prudential Securities company. which Davis helped organise, .,utting in s600.- 900 himself ans. endorsing notes for s5.50O,00o. .-..-.
 Last year s.iberling Rubber re- turned net profit of &l.s6s.707. and . few days ago. 1t has just been learned. Seiberling took up the notes and released Davis as guarantor. Davis refused to accept interest, Selberling said.
 The two have now organized a new corporation which holds 1s1,- 900 shares of Goodyear common stock, valued at yesterdays closing prices as s9.17c.0oo.
 Davis came into public notice when he backed "The Ladder. known as the greatest Hop" ever to enjoy a run on Broadway The play opened in October, 1926. and has been a financial failure since its opening night, Davis Is estimated to have lost l750.ooo on the produce ton, but has announced he has no intention of withdrawing it. The play deals with reincarnation. a theory Davis encountered in India and in which he firmly believes. Admission to the show recently has been free.

 Every state in the Union was vir- tually linked into one radio studio" by means of 10000 miles of wire to carry the voices of the participants in what was known as the Dodge Victory program. In addition. 10000 miles of additional wires wore used as Morse" circuit, by which tele- graphers at the various linked sta- tions and intervening test localities reported the condition of the vast chain to central headquarters.
 The concert cost more than 367. 900. or more than $l,0oo per minute Of operation. Of that amount 1t was estimated that approximately $:6,000 was paid as fees to the four artists. about $35,0O0 went to the telephone and mechanical facilities incorporat- ed in the giant chain and about $7.- 500 was paid purely for the stations tine on the air.

 After . few seconds of pause. . score of engineers waiting at strat- eglc points along the trunk line threw tho necessary switches con- meeting tho Beverly Hills microphone to the main control room in New York. Mir. Rogers then spoke for about eight minutes, commenting in his characteristic manner on world affairs, after which he introduced Paul Whiteman's orchestra in New York. which was waiting before the microphone.
 At this juncture the waiting line engineers again reversed the switch- es and for q few minutes the radio listeners heard tho orchestra while it played George Gershwin's "Rhap- sody In Blue"
 Following the Whiteman program the network was again changed to MT. Rogers' homo and he introduced Fred and Dorothy Stone in Chicago. who sang before . microphone plac- cd in the Erlanger theater of that city.

Without qualification. the greatest amateur production in New Britain's history-that seems to be the unanimous opinion of the hundreds who attended the opening perform ance of the Lions Frolic, Edition of 1927, last night at the Capitol theater.
 For three hours the audience rocked with laughter. or sat in pin dropping silence while talented vocalists, the cream of the New Britain singing world, entertained with their melodies.
 In every conceivable department of show production the F'rolic is perfection itself. It is no exaggera- ton to say that it is superior to a great many professional musical shows of the day.
