REDS CELEBRATE
MAY DAY WITH
few OUTBREAKS
Minor Disturbances Mark
Labor Day Observance
Over World.
By United Press

May day celebrations, usually
fraught with death and violence
throughout the world, today proved
to be little more than minor dis
turbances, although approximately
1000 persons were under arrest for
their part in the celebration of in
ternational labor day.
No deaths were reported and very
few injuries marked the celebration
which annually calls forth rigid
police measures in all cities.
May day in Berlin was in joyful
contrast to that Of last year when
twenty-six persons lost their lives
in three days of fighting as an out
growth of the demonstrations. Al
though 100000 persons participated,
few were arrested.

Business depression in the United
States had given police some meas

ures were used in most places where
Communists overran their bounds
In New York, 100000 persons,
including the Veterans of Foreign
Wars and Communists, demon
strated alternately in Union Square,
traditional Communist gathering
place, without noticeable disturb
ance. More than fifty-six were ar
rested for minor offenses.
Other cities, notably Los An
geles, where eighteen persons were
arrested when police broke up a
Communist gathering, reported
demonstrations, but in each case,
police were able to handle the sit
uation. Five persons were arrested
in Detroit, five in Philadelphia,
thirteen in Stamford, Conn; ten
in Akron, five in Elizabeth, N. j.
Police Arrest Over 800
Other cities reported few dis
turbances.
Paris police were obliged to ar

Herrin yesterday: He has persuaded
God to come back to Herrin."
The revival ended in the Summer OF
1925. For months there was peace. But
it could not last, because within the
county were two rival gangs, one headed
by the Shelton brothers, Carl, Earl and
Bernard; the other by Charlie Burger,
and both paying tribute to certain off,
Gals.
Gangs Make Open War.
The gangs made open war upon each
other. In street battle in Herrin six
men were killed. A month later the
city marshal of Colp City and another
man were assassinated. Harry Walker
and Everett Smith, members of the
Shelton gang, were killed by the Burger
gang. In retaliation, Is men of the
Shelton gang attacked a Burger road
house, burned it and killed four of
Btrger's men. The Birger crowd lured
a Shelton man and his wife out in a
car, murdered the wife and threw her
down mine pit, then killed the hus-
band.
Mayor JEFF Stone and John Milroy
were shot to death by the Burger gang
at Colp City. A week later "Shag''
Worsham was killed and burned. Bodies
OF murdered men were found in creeks
in mine shafts and in bitches along
the road. Within one year "a men
were killed in this new gang warfare
and not man was arrested
Then the Burger gang made the mis-
take of going over the line into Frank
lin County to murder Joe" Adams,
mayor of West City.
Sheriff Pritchard went to the village
of Harrisburg, in Bloody Williamson
County, where Burger lay asleep with
his wife and two daughters, Prichard
kicked in the door, grabbed Burger, took
him to Benton, his own county seat
and threw him into jail.
Then different members OF the Burger
gang were arrested, and confessions
were gotten from them.
Crowd Cheers Conviction.
Burger came to trial, In Franklin,
County. Members of his gang saved
their necks and accepted life impriSon-
ment by testifying against Burger. He
was convicted of murder in the frs
degree. When that verdict was re-
turned there was base ball game or
in Harrisburg, Birger's home town. Tht
announced that Burger had just beer
convicted, and 500 men and womer
stood up and cheered.
In Bloody Williamson" County nov
officials and juries became as eager tt
arrest and punish criminals as they
had been before to shield them, and the
terror of gang war was ended.

SKIN DISEASES
STUDY IS URGED
Inheritance of Susceptibility
Would Be Recorded Un-
der Proposal.
snecIal Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July Establishment
of a committee by the American Der
matological Association for the study
of inheritance of susceptibility to
disease, particularly skin disease, with
the hope of controlling some diseases
through euginicS, is recommended by
DR.. s. j. Holmes, professor of zoology
at the University of California.
The Importance of heredity predispo-
sition to infectious as well as other
types of diseases is coming to be more
clearly recognized than it was some
years ago, according to DR.. Holmes.
He says in his report to the Archives
of Dermatology: 1T has been definite
~ demonstrated in numerous instances
in plants and animals, and everything
one knows about human heredity indi-
Gates that it follows precisely the same
laws that obtain among other species
than our own.
Races PredispOsed to Disease.
"It is probable that racial heredity
predispoSes different races to certain
diseases. White persons are more
liable to contract scarlet fever, diph-
liberia, measles and erysipelas than the
Negroes. The Negro, in fact, has a
peculiarly resistant skin. Cancer OF the
skin, DuccaI cavity ana maInnary Sianu
is relatively rarer among Negroes than
among white persons, but in cancer the
relations are reversed.
when an environmental factor is
shown to be indispensable for the pro-
duction of a given malady it is quite
uniustifiable to deny that heredity may
be an essential factor at the same time.
Nowadays most intelligent physicians
would not deny the possible Importance
of heredity in the development of
tuberculosis simply because this disease
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-20

cannot develop in the absence of the
tubercle bacillus. Different strains of
guinea pigs, as Wright has shown.
differ considerably in their proneness
to contract tuberculosis. and different
strains of mice differ even more sharply
in their susceptibility to pneumonia.
Animal Tests Show Way.
From the nature of the case, the
Investigation of modes Of inheritance
in human traits presents many difficult
ties. But animal experimentation may
show us what to expect in man. If,
for instance, controlled experimental
ton reveals the mode of transmission
of the disposition of tuberculosis,
pneumonia, cancer and other maladies
in guinea pigs and mice, one may not
be entirely justified in assuming that
these traits will follow the same rules
in man. But We can at least ascertain
whether the data on human heredity fit
into the same scheme.
There are not reliable enough his
tories of afflicted families to enable one
to estimate the significance of hered-
itary factors in the common skin dis
eases which seem to be conditioned by
heredity. The matter deserves sys-
tematic and controlled study, especially
If there is to be any rational back
RrOunO IOT SOuuU cuSCAI1SJAG u0tACC III
the efforts to control the future Incl
dence of these conditions"
Skin Diseases Inherited.
Among the diseases of the skin for
which there is definite evidence of
hereditary predisposition Prof. Holmes
lists albinism, allergic disturbances,
such as hives and hay fever, angloneu-
rotic edema, cretinism, eczema, cpl
dermolysis, bullosa, hypotrichosis, ich-
thyosis, monilethrix, pemphigus con-
natus and tylosis.
Cancer also seems to be determined
by hereditary factors, according to Prof.
Holmes, in the light of Maud Sly's
remarkable experiments proving that
cancer, at least in her mice colonies,
is determined by heredity factors.
Prof. Holmes urges in his report that
a special committee be formed to study
cases of this nature In animals more
completely to try to find correlation
between the phenomena in animals and
human beings.

that, conditions In Europe and the
sentiment of common interests are not
sumption that members of such union
generally would take the collective re-
sponSibility in problems which did not
concern them individually"
The response also reminds Foreign
Minister BRAND that Ireland, through
emigration, has strong links outside OF
Europe, particularly in America apd
Australia, creating between the Iris
Free State and those regions of the
world tie of moral union not exceeded
in any way by that which exists between
Ireland and other European states"
