MAHATMA THROUGH
with CONFERENCE
Candhi Will Return to India to
Resume 'Non.vioIent
Non-cooperation'

London, Nov. Is -(P)- Mahatma
Gandhi made clean break with the
British government Wednesday and
announced that since the round-table
conference had conc to nothing he
must go back to India and start his
campaign of "non-violent non-coop-
eration," all over again.
Notwithstanding the laudable ef-
forts of some delegates to pump life
into this corpse which we call a
round-table conference" he said, 4
fear I must abandon whatever slen-
der hope ever had of obtaining a
full responsible self-government.
Since it is clearly the intention Of
the British government not to grant
the things we have asked, must
abandon cooperation with the gov
ernment and start again the CAM
paign of violent non-coopera-
ton"
Nothing but terrible repression
In India can come out Of the confer
ence, he said, but repression never
has harmed nation sailing toward
its goal with fixed determination.
"A reign Of terror by the govern
ment cannot kill the desire of mil
lions Of Indians for their independ~
ence. We teach our children to
dance with Joy when bullets fly
around them. We teach them to suf-
fer patiently for freedom. And now
I must 60 back to India and invite
the nation to new course Of suffer-
ing"

anything about it except that it had

self was founded. standing next to
the desk on which Byron wrote Don
Juan
Now it has been rediscovered as the
instrument that belonged to Thomas
Moore, the Irish poet who sang, The
Harp That Once Through Tara'S
Halls" and whose Believe Me, If All
Those. Endearing Young Charms" is
remembered by everyone today.
Thus America, which century
and a quarter ago was smarting un-
der Moore's harshly critical comments
based on his brief tour Of the United
States and Canada, now finds itself
the possessor of the most famous of
all the poets relics.
A Pleasant Association
To be sure, Moore lived to repent
his unjust criticisms as "tlle fruit OF
an immature youth" But it is a
coincidence that his celebrated harp
now is held in the one American city
from which he cleaned pleasant i'm
pressions. The poet wrote to his
mother, in 1904: The only place
which I have seen that had one wish
to pause in was Philadelphia.
When the curator of the Drexel
Institute Museum was rearranglng
the exhibits recently, he removed the
harp, sixteen and onehalf inches
high, with painted decoration Of a
dainty gilt shamrock vine. The harp
has fifteen strings and stands on an

Jurors to Decide
What Denotes Life

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 25.-(Pl-
Whether breathing constitutes
life Is a question a district court
jury Of Il men empanelled here
must decide.
Dependent upon the decision is
payment of a $4,000 judgment
given heirs of Henry j. Steurtz,
killed two years ago In building
construction accident.
Several months after the acci-
dent. a daughter was born to Mrs.
Pauline Steurtz, his widow. Hos
pital attendants said the child's
heart beat 10 to 20 minutes, but
that the baby did not breathe.
County Judge Reid decided
heart beats denote life and under
that ruling Mrs. Steurtz would
collect the entire judgment.
Steurtz's parents contend the
baby was born dead and that they
are entitled to half the Judgment.
In either case the widow would
get half the estate in her own
name. If the jurors decide the
baby was born dead. Steurtz's
parents would share in the
$4,000.

LITTLE HARP ONCE OWNED
TOM MOORE FOUND IN MUSEUM

ebony base. On the brass plate is the
inscription: J. Egan. 80 Dawson
Street, Dublin, Harpmaker, BY Spe-
cial appointment to His Majesty
George w & to the Royal Family.
The curator set to work to discover
the origin of the treasure and found
that it had been in the Drexel Mus
cum since the founding of the insti-
tute in 1891. S. C. Hall, Thomas
Moore's biographer. had a number OF
the poets personal belongings. At
his death. they were bought by George
w. Childs, former newspaper publish
er.
Overcome BY Beauty
Hall wrote Of this instrument: !:
This harp he CTom Moore) more
than once brought with him to an
evening at our house and touched
the strings while he sang to us and
our guests, one of his melodies 1t
was a gift from his friends at Lime
rick when they sought to send him to
Parliament as their representative"
Mrs. Margaret Halvey wrote in
Donohoe'S Magazine in 1895 that the
tones of this harp were deliciously
sweet and mellow and that at one of
Tom Moore's renditions of songs, an
Irish maid in a house where Moore
was visiting was so overcome by the
power of the melodies of her native
land that she became hysterical in
the presence of large company of
guests.

broad black band attached to it, and
Tom Moore carried 1t slung from his
shoulders Made in Dublin during
Moore's youth (the poet was born in
l779D, it is believed to have become
the model for the improved American
harps of later years.
Although the Moore harp is thought
to be the most precious Moore relic
in the DreXel Museum, it is not the
only one. There is also the Moore
Bible, an Edinburgh edition of 1910
which bears the inscription, From
Bessie Moore (Tonls Wife, to Charles
Murray, her nephew" Mrs. Hall gave
this small. plainly -bound book to Mr.
Childs who in turn gave it to the late
Anthony j. Drexel. founder of the
Drexel Institute, who was a great
friend of his. On the fly-leaf of the
Bible are inscribed the births ot
Moores five children and the early
deaths of four each signed with Tom
Moore's initials.
The Irish poet came to America in
1903 on his way back to Ireland from
visit to Bermuda. Three years later
he issued a volume of flippant verses
describing American customs and pol
itics iinpertinently and irreverently
somewhat in the manner of many lat
ter-day visiting Britishers. But in this
city Moore found pleasant compan-
ions.
Cottage Still Stands
When Tom Moore arrived In Phila-
delphia, he had published only one
volume of verse. and he had trans
lated "Anacreon" His fame, how
ever. had spread sufficiently for his
arrival to cause "a great excitement
in the literary circles" In the
columns of THE Portfolio" flatterine
comment appeared in which Moore
was called the fascinating friend and
the sweet poet.
In Fairmont Park today. on the
banks of the Schuylkill, stands the
very cottage which is accepted as hav-
ing housed Moore during his visit tc

||MANDAN IS HOST TO
BISMARCK ROTARY
Rev. G. w. Stewart SAYS
Thanksgiving Is Day
p! For Reflection

Thanksgiving Day is day for re-
Election rather than activity. Rev. G
w. Stewart of Mandan told 95 Bis
marck and Mandan Rotarians at ar
inter-city Rotary luncheon held al
the Lewis and Clark hotel Wednes-
day noon.
He said it is only fitting that Amer
leans should think back into the past
and consider the hardshipS endured
by the Pilgrims who were responsible
for Thanksgiving and to consider the
duty of carrying on in the same pio-
neer spirit that motivated them In
founding the nation.
Americans have much to be thank
full for, according to Stewart. who
pointed to the splendid philanthropic
work being carried on in this country
and to the improvement in social re.
lations as exemplified in the i'm
proved relations between capital and
labor and between employer and EN-
ploye.
l.. G. ThompCon. president of the
Mandan Rotary club, welcomed ths
Bismarck visitors and presided at the
meeting
In responding for the Bismarck del
egation, Ray Bergeson, president, ex.
pressed the hope that the two organ
izations would gather 1T a similar
meeting In the near future. He said
that inter-city meetings engendel
mutual friendliness and foster a bet
ter understanding between individuals
in the two cities.
