UNCLE ROBY
THROWN OUT
Carey To Manage Robins
During Coming
Season

NEW YORK, Oct "A. R-Max
Carey has succeeded ~64-year-0d
Wilbert Robinson as manager OF the
Brooklyn Dodgers and for the first
time since the death OF Charles II.
Ebbets in 1925 the Dodgers can face
the rest OF the National league with
a united front.
The ousting OF Robinson after II
years service, decided on unani-
mously by the directors, brings to
an end the most violent club war
in baseball history.
Cleveland, knoc.-ed out Jimmy Dor
game can be found any fued TO rival,
In intensity. that which ragged for
half a dozen years betw- n Robin
son and Steve McKeev. half-own-
er of the Dodgers.
1t was q feud based entirely on
personal grounds but 1t reached a
point where the two men, genial
and affable enough by themselves,
dared not meet for fear OF trading
rights and lefts in the best pugil-
istic fashion. They couldn't agree on
anything-on plays. on policies or on
how the clubs money ought to be
spent.
McKeever openly has sought Rob-
inson's baseball scalp for years but
during most OF thatstime a deadlock
existed on the board Of directors
with McKeever interests holding two
votes and the Ebbets heirs, support
ers OF Robinson. also two. Robinson
thus could not be removed.
Two years ago the National lea
que stepped In and sought to pour
oil on the troubled waters. The net
result was the appointment as a
fifth and neutral director. Of Wolter
Dutch) Carter, former Yale pitcher.
Carter. the balance wheel among the
directors. was credited with settling
the dispute and selecting Carey as
the logical man for the managers
post.

Corpus 0. 1t was tough on the
home towners who we're looking
for a victory.
The Eagles opened a fast run
ming attack in the opening NOM
ents of play and punched over
touchdowns in the first and second
quarters. With the game fairly well
iced, Coaches Red Irvine and
Ben Brite used their entire squad
Of "A boys before the game was
over.
Escobar and Teo Villarreal stood
out as did Herby Thomas at CEN
ter. The Brownsville backs had a
good day stabbing the Buc line.
The Eagles rolled up IS first downs
to nine for Corpus Christi.
The BUGS threatened on three
occasions. but when they neared
the Eagle goal line. the Browns
vile boys bowed their necks and
held them for downs. Once they
carried the ball TO the one-foot
line, by virtue OF some great pass

MOTHER KILLS SELF.
AND FOUR CHILDREN
Unemployed Worker Finds
Five Bodies on Return
to Home.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
WILMINGTON, Ohio, october IL
A 35-year old mother shot and killed
her four children and then committed
suicide at their home, in Eeesville, near
here. last night.
The deaG were:
Mrs. Russell Ward and her children.
Arlene, IL; Audrey, 8; Edith, Z, and
Richard, 4.
Authorities blamed financial troubles
for the tragedy. The mother. who had
told friends she was SO worried she
couldn't think" went to the village
school to get her children. She told
them they were going away"
The husband was in Wilmington at
the time of the shooting. He found
the bodies when he returned home.
Those of his daughters were on the bed
room floor. The mother lay in a door
way leading from the room and nearby
was the body of the boy.
Ward picked up the boy and found
he was not dead. He tried frantically
to revive the child. but death came
within few minutes.
The father toolmaker, had been
without employment recently, except for
odd jobs. He said his wife had been
acting strangely for several weeks and
had complained Of feeling i'll.
The house, a one-story cottage, was
dark but the doors were unlocked, when
Ward returned. He declared he went
first to the kitchen and. finding his
family gone, assumed they were visit
ing neighbors.
Several minutes passed before he
entered the bed room to find the bodies.
The mother left no note, but the coro-
ner was convinced she slew the children
and herself because she was tired of
poverty.
Ward, almost Frustrated by the trag-
edy said his wife often had threatened
to kill herself and the children. AS a
precaution he had taken the cartridges
from his revolver which he kept in the
bed room. The weapon was used ty
Mrs. Ward, however. and Ward was at
loss as to how she obtained cartridges.
Mrs. Ward apparently took the chill
dren to the bed room on the pretense
she was going to dress them for trip.
1t was believed the three girls we're
slain first. Authorities theorized the boy
was running from the room when shot
down, his body falling near the door
way only few inches from that Of the
mother.

Peter Mooney, who was released four
years ago from Joliet Prison, was in
jured about the face, body and legs

on the Southwest Side, last night
Police said the bomb was intended to

erty damage was done.
Audience Quickly Gained.
Three others, who extinguished the
fire in Moneys garments, suffered
burns about the hands.
The audience, alarmed by the flash of
blush flame and the sharp odor Of
burning sulphur, was thrown into mo-
mentary panic. It was quickly Gained,
however. and the motion picture con-
tinued after Mooney was carried into
the lobby.

SCAN SHERWOOD FINANCES.
Income Tax Investigators Work or
Bank and Brokerage Accounts.

NEW YORK, October II (Pl.-Fed-
eral income tax investigators yesterday
were working on the bank and broker
age accounts of Russell T. Sherwood,
missing accountant for Mayor James J.
Walker, which have been reported to
show transactions of large amounts.
Newspapers saw in the announcement
o hint that Federal powers may be USED
to find Sherwood, who has been sought
by the Hofstadter Legislative Committee
for 10 weeks.
Samuel Seabury, counsel for - the
committee, whose aides have been por-
ing over the accounts for days, said he
was powerless to issue subpoena Tor
Sherwood, even if he did locate him IN
another State.
He pointed out that Sherwood was re-
ported in Atlantic City last month; put
that the committee could not send Tor
him because its jurisdiction does not
go outside New York State.
If the Federal Government joins IN
the hunt. its agents would be able to
bring Sherwood back to New York by
procuring a grand jury subpoena. valid
anywhere in United States territory.
Income of Six Probed.
The incomes of six Democratic poll
ticians which the Hofstadter COMMITTEE
revealed as totaling nearly 100000 In
the last six years, also are under Fed
eral scrutiny.
Seabury defended for the second time
the committees right to hold private
hearings when he argued in Brooklyn
Supreme Court a case brought by Rob-
ert Kennedy, sales manager for badge
manufacturing firm.
Kennedy had been subpoenaed to
produce books of the concern after SEA-
bury had charged the company was
selling badges which cost so cents each
to city employees for SIS.
Kennedys attorney contended the
Legislature had no power to order an
investigation into a particular unit OF
the State except as an emergency
measure, which would require a two
thirds vote. The bill creating the Hof-
stadter Committee was passed by only
a majority vote.
The court reserved decision and asked
counsel to submit briefs by Monday.
The previous test case was brought by
Minthorne T. Gordon, bus operator, but
it was based on another contention
that the committee lacked power to ap-
point subcommittee of less than three
members to hold private hearings.
The court ruled against him and he
was ordered to appear for private exam
ination Monday.
