signed as vice president in 1926. Lau-
renee and A. Watson Armour, however,
remained as directors.
Armour announced his severance of
nearly II years of association with the

By SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE (Unfted Press Stan Correspondent


 Clarksburg, West Va, Dec B. (UP)-The life of Harry F. Powers, mall order romeo, will be gambled against legal technical ities with the accused slayer pre- ferring death to a ruling that he is insane, it was indicated as his trial swung into it's second day.
 J. Ed Law, defense attorney, has permitted the state to admit all evidence concerning discovery of the body of Mrs Dorothy Pressler Lemke in the drainage ditch be- hind the Powers garage at Quiet Dell. <.
 He has attempted to keep some testimony from the jurors who were named so speedily yesterday, but those efforts have failed. Judge John c. Southern has overruled every defense motion, including a plea for change of venue.
 Therefore, it was felt to-day, the trial which has been made the oc- casion for Roman holiday in Clarksburg, will furnish the evil dence on which Powers counsel will appeal to a higher court. The defense probably will charge the state has shown no connection be- tween Powers and the crime, and that prejudice in the community against Powers defeated justice.
 As jurors were questioned as to their knowledge of the case, lurid copies of a song <entitled "The Crime at Quiet Dell" were being sold by street hawkers. They also offered yellow backed editions of ''The Life of Bluebeards."
 The song recited the gory details of the five murders discovered on the Quiet Dell farm-Mrs Lemke, and Mrs Asta Buick Eichers and her three children-then concludes with this rousing chorus:
 ''This is a solemn warning then
 To all the ladies fair
 Do not confide in strangers that
 You meet from everywhere. N A moral lesson this should teach
 For one can never tell,
 Lest you be lured unto your doom
 Like those at Quiet Dell"
 All these stage effects seem to please Powers who showed not the slightest fear or worry during the first days proceedings. He sat with his back to the crowd in Moore's Opera House, his bushy hair neat ly cut for his day in court, and his short legs just short of touch- ing the floor.
 When the state introduced the relics of the crimes in which he is accused, such as the green lowered dress in which Mrs Lemke was wrapped in her shall low grave, he craned his neck to see just as did others in the crowd of 1900 present.
 The state has laid the founda- ton for it's case. It has introduced testimony to show that Dorothy Lemke's body was found, garrotted, in the grave at the Powers garage. It has given in evidence the cloth- ing she wore when she left her home in Northboro, Mass, to make her home in the west" with Cor nelius o. Pierson-the alibi un- der which Powers ran his matri- monial campaign.
 The state has shown that clothing belonging to Mrs Lemke was found in the Powers home after her body

CANDHI SLOGAN WAS INVENTED
 BY AMERICAN
Civil Disobedience' Came From Henry D. ThOreau of Concord, Mass, Who Wrote Essay in l849
BY WEBB MILLER

United Press Staff Correspondent. London, Dec 8.-(UP)-The term "civil disobedience" made famous in India by the Mahatma Gandhi was invented by an Ameri- can, Henry D. Thoreau of Concord, Mass, Gandhi revealed before he left England for India. Gandhi chose the name to de- scribe his unique political weapon of non-violent resistance, called "Swtyagraha" in the Indian langu- age.
 He told the correspondent how he first came upon the term civil disobedience in an essay written by Thoreau in 1S49, in which Thoreau, a naturalist and philosopher, as- sailed the United States govern ment for it's attitude on slavery and the Mexican war. Thoreau him. self practiced the creed and was arrested at Concord for refusal to pay the poll tax as demonstration of non-allegiance to the govern ments policies.
 Gandhi said he first read 1908. "The name Thoreau had evolved so well fitted my creed that adopted it." the Mahatma said as he squatted on 0 blanket within three feet of a roaring coal fire, like an animated mummy. half shrouded in voluminous home spun cloth and twirling his pat ent spinning wheel dexterously.
 q was entranced with Thoreau's philosophy and had many Indian leaders read his essays,." Gandhi continued. "No doubt his writings greatly influenced them"
 Describing the birth of the po- litical weapon of civil disobedience Gandhi said:
 At a meeting in a Jewish theater in Johannesburg in 1906 we had come to the end of our resources fighting a humiliating bill pro- posed by the Transvaal government against my countrymen. One man arose and said he would rather die than submit to the bill. He took the VOW of non-submission and suddenly realized that that was the solution.
 q asked the meeting how many were ready to die rather than sub- init. Everybody stood up, and vowed not to obey. This meeting settled my fate, for saw that If we wanted to oppose a government we should not resist violently"
 The creed of non-violence was gradually evolved and perfected. Gandhi said he believed 1t eventu- ally would be necessary to resume his struggle against the British government by civil disobedience to prove the strength of his move- ment.
 Asked if he expected to be put in jail again, Gandhi replied, smil- ing:
 "Probably, but only for total of four or five years; that's not much"

Milford Official COnduCt- ing Inquiry Into Death
 of Daniel Sullivan
WORDS OF TRUCKMAN

The authorities of Milford have started an investigation to obtain more information concerning the death of Daniel Slattery, former Waterburian, who was run down and fatally injured near that city last Thursday evening. The report was first given out that the de- ceased while walking along the highway had stepped into the path of a truck operated by George Dumrease of New Haven. MT Slat- tery was hurled to one side and sustained injuries which resulted in his death two hours later at the Milford hospital.
 Dumrease claims that when he first observed Slattery he was ly- ing on the highway. There is not a mark on the truck to indicate that he had been in an accident.

was dug from the grave yards. It has also shown that death was due to "a broken neck caused by ''ex- cessive force"
 Later, possibly to-day, it will in troduce evidence to show that Powers had constructed a trap door and an amateur gaIlows on which he did to death the woman who came to Clarksburg in re- sponse to his blandishments..
 The general expectation is that the case will be concluded within week. The state will offer only official" witnesses concerned with the discovery of the bodies. Powers will offer two hypothetical wit nesses-never yet discovered by the police-who, he claims, did away with the women.
