Judge John Hurry, and was SEN

For some time he has been i'll and
respondent and feared that he was
losing his mind, through a nervou
malady. His family feared he would
commit some rash act and kept close
watch at all times, but as Mrs. Bur-
ton is a court juvenile officer and
frequently away from home, and
other members of the family all hap
pened to be absent, this was taken adj
vantage of by Burton.
He called Coroner Lloyd Everson
on the phone, telling him who was
talking, and then continued, 81 am

Everson dashed to a car and rush
ed to the Burton home. He found he
was too late, as Burton had commit
ted the rash act and was expiring.
He died in a few seconds and did not
speak.
Mr.. Burton was very well known
and much liked by the residents Of
the towns along this branch of the
Great Northern, and his passing will
shock his hundreds Of friends here.

Up Eabors Of
Two Years

WASHINGTON, June %. Up
Members OF the Wickersham Com
mission buckled down today to the
task Of winding up the major part
Of two years labor in a week.
The meeting started today was
possibly the commissions last. AS
the session convened, 1t was pointed
out that reports OF eight major
crime Investigations remaining 10
be completed before July ] might
well keep the members busy until
the early hours OF that date.
The commissions official life ex-
pires with June. In rs months II
has submitted four reports TO Pre-
sident Hoover. Although only the
finishing touches were lacking on
the eight or nine forthcoming re-
ports, il was likely that final agree
ment upon these would require some
discussion.
Among the unfinished reports on
the commissions table today was
one On deportation OF aliens, part
of which already has been the sub
ject Of a heated 81 page letter from
Secretary OF Labor Doak.
Others include an investigation OF
lawlessness among governmental Of
ficials. a discussion Of prison condi-
tons and the parole system, an in
uuiry into crime among the foreign
born, and another into the work OF
various police forces.

than vitanin c, and it seems doubt
full that ordinary cooking harms
the vitanin A in plant sources, al
though oxygen, if present, will de-
stroy vitamin A from animal
sources.
Vitamin B is slowly destroyed by
the application of heat, but the
presence of alkalis destroys it muck
more rapidly than does the pres
ence of acids. Therefore, the use
of water in cooking green vegetables
may be injurious to the vitamin B
content.
Evidence is not as yet available
regarding the manner in which
vitamins D and E may be destroyed.
Apparently these vitamins are
much more stable and difficult to
ruin. Unfortunately we do not yet
know about most of the vitamins
the minimum necessary to preserve
and advance human life, nor how
much the average human being gets
in his usual diet.

INBAWN CHASE
North Side Awakened by
Crack of Bullets in
Burglar Hunt.

Revolver shots and roaring police
automobiles and motorcycles aroused
the north side before dawn today
as squads of officers and merchant
police attempted to apprehend two
burglar suspects.
One of the men, who escaped by
swimming Fall creek several times
is believed to be Forest Strother
sought in connection with a series
of burglaries and banditry opera
tons recently. Two members of the
alleged gang already are under
arrest.
Herman Thompson, merchant po-
lice officer, saw one of the men near
the Capitol City Coal Company
Forty sixth street and the Monon
railroad. He fired four times.
Later George Galena, merchant
officer, saw the first burglar suspec.
and companion at Forty-ninth
street.
He opened fire and the alleged
thieves abandoned their car and
fled on foot. The bandit car con-
tanned large number of burglary
tools similar to those confscated
Tuesday by police in raid on
Strother's alleged hideout in the
1400 block Broadway.
Squads Of police picked up the
trail of one of the fleeing men. For
more than an hour he was pur-
sued southwark to Fall creek.
There, officers said, he swan the
creek several times and finally
eluded them.

SHOOT TO KILL
ORDERS GIVEN
MOVIE GUARDS
Police Maintain Vigil at
105 Chicago Theaters,
PeriIed by Gangs.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Policemen
with orders to shoot to kill" main
tanned constant vigil today over
los independent theaters to guard
against further bombings Of prop
critics involved in a bitter contro-
versy between theater owners and
the Moving Picture Operators
Union.
Meanwhile hopes waned that
mediations would bring an end to
the dispute which resulted from
the owners refusal to accede to
union demands that at least two
operators be employed in each
house.
The theaters were closed for a
week, but most of them now are
operating with technicians imported
from New York.
The police guard was ordered by
John A. Alcock, police commissioner,
after a conference with State Attor-
ney John A. Swanson and other
state and city officials.
Persons found lettering suspi-
ciously around theaters run the
risk of being shot by policeman, "
Alcock said after the guards were
posted. I'VE are determined to pro-
tect the property Of the owners and
the lives of the public against
these outrages."
Three union operators were ar
rested in connection with three Sc
rious bombing Friday.

400 MILLIONS
LOANED BRITAIN
BY BIG BANKS
U. S., French Finance
Heads Extend 0ne-Year
Credit to Steady Pound.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Private
bankers in America and France
have extended to the British gov
eminent one-year credit of $780,
100000 to be used in stabilizing the
value of the pound sterling in the
foreign exchange markets of the
world.
The American share Of the credit,
$500, 100000, was negotiated through
]. P Morgan & Co., and the ma
tion-wide group of more than one
hundred banks. None will be Of
fered the public.
The French half. however. will
consist of a $100.000.000 banking
credit and a S1OO,OO0,000 British
treasury loan, to be sold to the
French public at an interest rate
understood to be AZ per cent.
1t is considered significant that
the recently established British gov
eminent could negotiate a credit Of
this magnitude, but a spokesman
for the bankers explained their ac-
ton as enlightened selfishness."
I'm a way, it was a measure to
protect our own interests" he said.
Every one knows what the effect
of a German collapse would have
been on American foreign invest
ments. How much greater would a
British collapse be?"
The amount finally granted was
more than the maximum requested
by Great Britain, it was said, as an
indication Of the confidence bank
ers feel in the present British gov
eminent. The credit is expected to
stabilize the pound for at least the
coming year.
