West. chief executive of the Boy Scouts of America, in an editorial in an issue of Boys Life" magazine urging the thousands of boys in this country not only to honor their mothers on Mothers day the second Sunday in, May, but also to assume fan attitude towards home which will result in development of closer love and friendship between the members of the family group.
 "The two outstanding needs in American life to-day are for the strengthening of the influence of the home and the influence of the church. says MT West in his edi- torial on the observance of Mothers day. Those who are in a posi- tion to know attribute the great in- crease in lawlessness to the lack of home influence, or the wrong kind of home influence"

for three days. walked into a po-
lice station here today and admit
ted, police said, the Staying of DR..
Joseph T. Loughlin, a Brooklyn
surgeon, in a pistol duel in the
dunes of Marine park.
Worn from the loss of blood, due
to wound in the left arm, Bird
gets told police he was tired of
hiding.
He said he had spent the time
between Saturday night, when DR..
Loughlin was slain and the time he
surrendered, in attending movie
shows and wandering the streets.
He said he knew he was COM
paratively safe from detection as
long as he avoided hospitals to get
medical attention for the wound in
his arm.
Revolver Is Produced
Bridgetts, 20, the son of a wealthy
commission merchant, was accom-
panied to police headquarters by his
attorney, George Leisure.
Questioned by Lieutenant Peter
Bree, Bridgetts readily admitted the
shooting, police said, and claimed he
shot the surgeon in Self-defense.
He placed .S2-caliber automatic
pistol on the desk and said he had
fired two shots from it.. He also
produced a black gladstone bag,
which contained suit soaked with
blood and overcoat also spotted
with blood.
Loughln's body was found in
sand filth in Marine park, Brook
Ign, early Sunday. He had been
shot twice, once under the right
arm and again through the right
temple.
This indicated, police said, that
he had his right hand raised as
though to fire at an opponent in
duel.
Angered by Tnformer'
Two stakes had been placed In
the ground, marking of approx
mately twenty PAGES.
The surgeons body was found
near one of the stakes.
Mrs. Loughlin further bore out
the duel theory when she told po-
lice that she and DR.. Loughlin had
been estranged and that her hus-
band blamed Bridgetts, a second
cousin and at one time a close
friend, of telling her of cfandcstine
affairs the surgeon is alleged to
have had with other women.

For despite plenty Of canned goods

after a week of waiting at the speed
way gates.

They have been waiting with
their improvised tent flung over a
car top since last Wednesday.
And it doesn't seem as if an
other car will ever come to keep
us company" bemoaned the three
women as they finished their
breakfast today over a monkey
stove"
Sure wish one would come, then
we'd have some one to talk to-"

UNSUPPORTED
MAN FIGHTS TO
STAY IN U. S.
Emir Is Facing His Third
Kick Out of Nation in
Five Years.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, May 2s-Mo-
manned Al RaSchid, self-styled
emir of Kurdistan, tailor and the
most deported man in the nation,
stood on the brink Of the Atlantic
today, and unless fight being
waged by the Civil Liberties Union
helps him he soon viii be outward
bond again.
If he is, it will be his third de-
portation in five years and, while,
the emir loves the orient, he also is
fond Of the United States, especially
Detroit, where, he hints, he has i'm
portant connections in the auto
mobile industry.
The issue is whether the emir
was born in Detroit, as he con-.
tends, or in Turkey, as the i'm
migration authorities contend. Mo
hammed's admirers recalled today
that when he was threatened with
deportation in 1924, he offered to
commit suicide, thereby forcing
Kurdistan to declare war Oh
America.
Deported Twice Before
In 1925, when he actually was de-
ported, he sent a letter to President
Coolidge, demanding an indemnity
Or else the Kurdish feet would be-
laundering at the gates of New
York.
When he was deported again in
1880 he insisted he would return
as Ambassador from Kurdistan, and
cause no end of embarrassment at
the White House.
Claiming lineal descendancy from
Haroun AL RaSchid, the emir CON-
tends he is superior to man-made
laws.
He has debated that interesting
point with the governments of the
United States, England, France and
Germany, and lost every time. =.
UnweIcome in Europe e
His European deportation record
SurpasseS the mark he has set in
America. His European police rec
ord shows jail sentences for fraud
in London; for neglecting to pay
hotel bills in Paris, and for Slip
ping out OF a bar without setting
ones Score-in Berlin.
There also was the occasion when
he posed as Turkish general, but
unfortunately wore a captains in
SIGMA; the time, also, when a
French gendarme arrested him for.
wearing a fake Legion Of Honor
ribbon.
