Envoy To Poland

WASHINGTON, Mar. l. U.H-
President Hoover probably will ap-
point John n. WHY'S, former Toll
edo, o., automobile manufacturer,
as American ambassador to Poland
to succeed the late Alexander P.
Moore, it was learned today.
The White House, in accordance
with custom, declined to confirm
Willys' appointment in advance of
formal announcement of his selec-
tion. However, it was learned from
4 source close to Mr.. Hoover, that
name of new ambassador has been
climax to three days of conferences
that he is persona grata. Informed
political circles here believe the
name is that of WHY'S.
WHY'S called at the White House
several weeks ago with Senator
Fess, Republican, Ohio, and had a
long conference with Mr.. Hoover.

DR.. SNOOK PAYS
WITH HIS LIFE
IN OHIO PRISON
By HARRY WILSON SHARP
United Press Staff Correspondent

COLUMBUS. O., Mar. !. U.P)-
The body of DR.. James Howard
Shook who was electrocuted in the
state penitentiary last night for the
murder of Theora Hix, his Illicit
sweetheart, was buried secretly in
Greenlawn cemetery at dawn today.
DIR. Shook was host at dinner
last night to his wife and four
guests in steel studded cell light
ed by a single, dim electric light.
Two hours later, after his hyster
zeal wife had been virtually carried
from his cell following their fare
well, he walked through the cell door
into an adjoining room and paid
with his life for the murder of his
Illicit sweetheart, Theora Hix, Ohio
State University student.
Shook, only shadow of the stoi-
cal rugged and sun tanned professor
of veterinary medicine, sat down in
the electric chair. Guards adjusted
the straps, black death mask was
drawn, and the current was sent
through his body at 7:10 p. m.
Four minutes later physicians
pronounced him dead.
He was brought into the death
chamber in an i'll fitting suit, one
of his own. Two guards supported
him on either side though he walked
with firm but confused tread. Il
was his first view Of the place OF
his death.
He sat down in the chair and
closed his eyes, Guards quickly ad
.iusted the clamps. His cvelid,
flickered but remained closed. A
guard graspcd his chin to adjust tho
head electrode. He moistcned hi,
lips and the next instant the halck
leather death mask was dropped anG
the current was tearing through hi,
body.
Snook's drv lips remained NUT,
and his requiem was heavy breath
inq' of tense witnesses and foul
words murmured by minister
"God be with YOU"

The Dcmocratic-Wcstcrn Republican

Cd the history of the formation OF
tho coalition and asserted it had at =
tempted to make the tariff bill an
"iustrumcnt Of class legislation"
The West Nirginian's attack came
close on she heels Of two major coal
ition victories in turning back at
;cmpts TO place tariff duties on oil
and lumber, now on the free list.
These two triumphs coming after
bitter battles, gave further indica-
tions that the coalition still is in
control Of the senate.
WASHINGTON. Mar. l. Up) -
The coalition Of Democrats and
Western Republicans stood in com
plete control Of the tariff situation
IN the senate today after rcpelling
most spectacular assault of the
high tariff advocates to place duties
on oil and lumber. Sugar remained
as their only ~ battle before the
final vote is taken on the tariff bin
which the coalition has so radically
revised.
The climax OF the entire fight
was reached at 10 p. m. last night
when the weary senate voted, 80 to
p, against n proposed ~ barrel
duty on oil and 30 per cent rate
on gasoline and petroleum bypro-
ducts.
With the vote the coalition crush.
cd the most formidable opposition
which has vet been arravcd against
il. Senators interested in duties on
lHmIcr, oil and sugar apparently
had reached an off stage arrange
ncnt whereby they would pool their
strength TO batter the coalition pha-
lany.
Senator Blaine, Independent Re
publican, Wiseonsin. denounced
what he called the scheme to trade
~ sugar tariff for an oil tariff aud
oil for sugar" Blaine charged the
lobby had tried to trap Presi-
dent Hoover himself into n denial
that he had money invested in South
American oil, SO il could use Mr..
lioovcr's statement 10 infer that he
favored a tariff on oil.
Senate observers felt the lobby,
which raiscd the strength for the
oil tariff from three votes six weeks
ago to 27 votes on the final roll, had
IN the end, contributed to the 3efcat
Of the amendment.
Through with oil ana humber, the
senate took up proposed rates on
