Wheeling, W. Va, Feb 23.-(UP) Irene Schroeder's last message to her family-one of three sent by telegraph within the remaining hours of her life-was one of peace and contentment.
 "I am satisfied with things as they are now" she advised. Love. Take care of pap. Irene"
 News Of her executoin was taken to the family by John Crawford, :, her brother, who waited in the of flee of the Wheeling News from a. m. until the United Press advised that Irene and Glenn Dague had been killed. Then he went to the home of Irene's sister where the family had waited through the night.
 As the message announcing Mrs Schroeder was dead came over the wire it was handed to John Craw- ford. His hands trembled and tears streamed down his cheeks.
 Poor girl. at least her troubles are all over," he said.

! MODERN SOCIETY FOR DEFENSE OF
 YOUNG SLAYER
Attorney for Former High School Football Star Will Stage Novel and Unique Defense Plea

Valparaiso, Ind, Feb 23.-UP)- Modern Society" was the theme around which defense was built to- day at the trial of Virgil Kirkland, 20 year old former high, school foot ball star. who is charged with the first degree murder of Arlene braves. IS. Barrat O'Hara, attorney for Kirkland, indicated the unique de- fense and added: Society and the prohibition laws are as much on trial in this case as is Kirkland. High school youths, drinking alcohol as do their elders, cannot be held re- sponsible for their individual acts.''
 Kirkland escorted Miss Draves to party at the Gary home of David Thompson, a city fireman, Novem- Der 30. At dawn, Kirkland accom- panied by four friends. took Miss Draves to a physicians home after she had become unconscious. The physician, Dr H. o. Wharton, found the girl was dead. A grand jury re- turned murder indictments against all five after a coroner's jury found that Miss Draves died as the result of a brain hemorrhage and several criminal attacks. Under Indiana law, the death penalty will be mandatory if Kirkland is found guilty. Paul Barton, Leon Stanford, Henry Shirk and Thompson are the other four to be tried.

YANKEE MATAD0R FRANKLIN CAME
 CLOSE TO DEATH
GOred Below the Knee But Red Cloak Saved Him and He Killed Three Before He Was Done

Laredo, Tex, Feb 23-(UP)-Sid- ney Franklin, Brooklyn matador, to-day credited his red cape with saving his life in Nuevo Laredo, Max, bullfight during which he was gored below the knee and narrowly escaped death.
 ''The bull could have killed me when I slipped and his horn caught my leg. but my cape lying on me and little to one side distracted lis attention and I was able to get to my feet" Franklin said.
 q slipped on the loose dirt in the ring and the bull caught me by changing the course of his charge. The same soft ground that caused me to stumble helped save me. fd have been wounded worse if | hadn't been able to sink in a bir after the bull tossed me first up then down with his horns. It's all in the game. however. and I'll be able 10 fight next Sunday unless my leg gets so infected that l cant walk at all"
 Dr NJ. Galacia said Franklin's ap- pearance at Piedras Negras, where he is scheduled to fight next Sunday. is doubtful. The physician cut the matador's injured limb to the bone four times last night to remove all possibility of infection. After trip to the infirmary, Franklin returned to kill his third bull and win the cheers of the holiday crowd ot 5000 in the stands.

One man. however, ran for the door. they said, and a shot from a service pistol brought him down, with a bullet in his stomach. He was Michael Masselli of Brook lyn. The dead man was identified as Charles Barnes, chauffeur. also of Brooklyn. Barnes had attended the dance with Miss Helen Carey of Brooklyn. What part he had in the argument and rioting, police did not know. Three other attendants at the dance hall were wounded. A squad of more than 100 was watching all hospitals to-day.
 The shooting followed an intensive mop-up of all known gangsters. gum men and racketeer hangouts, in which police had orders to bring in any who could shed light on the recent series of killings. The drive was started by the killing of Detec- tive Christopher Scheuing who inter rupted a holdup, and by the gang ster shooting of Al Wagner, John Franzone and Aces Mazza Friday and Saturday.

CONNIE MACK IS
 VERY CONFIDENT
 OF ANOTHER WIN
Will Be a Tougher Race This Year Than Last, But He Expects Something
 From His Young Twirlers

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-UP).- Connie Mack, veteran manager of the World champion Athletics, will leave for Fort Myers, Fla, to-mor- row to take personal charge of the training activities of his squad. Mack came home quietly yesterday. when sports writers had expected him to join the battery men in Fort Myers to-day. Mack said he came north to attend to some business matters.
 "Of course I hope the Athletcis will come through to their third straight pennant," the veteran man. ager said. T see no reason why we should not. Although it will be a tougher race this season. Right now I feel that much depends on how well the younger pitchers will show up as re-enforcing material for the veter- ans. There's always a chance, how ever, of dark horse cropping up just as Washington did last sea- son.

Feb 23.-UP)-A tenseness born of fear gripped guards and prisoners at the state penitentiary to-day during secret in- quiries to determine if other convicts were involved in a break which brought death to three of their fell lows. The three men. all Chicago ans, were riddled by rifle and ma- chine gun fire as they sealed the wall of the old prison early Sunday. Special guards. hiding and waiting outside the walls for days because of suppressed excitement among the convicts, shot them from ambush. The men killed were Joseph Morkie- wicz, 30. and Julio Chileno, 39, con- fidence men. and Alvin Kilmon, Jr, 33. robber. At least two more were involved. Officials believed others planned general break if the leaders were successful.

They crept from the kitchen and into the yard, then across cor ner where stands a two-story build- ing, two walls of which face on out side streets. The ladder took them to the roof.
 Norkiewicz was first over the wall. He was running. Chileno had just dropped to the ground and Kilmon was descending. The men were ordered to halt, but did not. They were caught in streams of lead poured at them from four directions. Norkiewicz was riddled by 70 bull lets, Chileno by 25. Kilmon. swing ing from the cable. was hit fewer times and died ten hours later. The roar of the machine guns a,woke the 1900 men inside the walls. As the roar of the guns died away. two automobiles parked nearby started suddenly and ranad toward ChieaGa.

THREE BILLS OF LAWYER
 CASSIDY
Two of Them Refer to Green Line" and One to Taxation of Street Rail- ways - They Will Be Heard on Tuesday
(Bx Democrat stafr Manl

Hartford, Feb 23.-Three bills sponsored by Attorney John H. Cas- sidy of Waterbury, two of them re- lating to the operation of the Green Line" and the other involving the taxation on earnings of street rail- ways. will be heard tomorrow aft- ernoon by the legislative committee on railroads. The three bills were introduced by Representative Daniel J. Mahaney by request.
 The most important oil, which is expected to draw some comment from State Tax Commissioner Will liam M. Blodgett at the hearing, pro- vides for the exemption from taxa tion of street railways which are earning no profits. This bill pro- vides that the railway officials shall appear before the public utilities commission and seek this exemption and that it shall be granted by the commission should the books of the company of companies show no earnings above actual operating ex- penses. Opposition to this measure will be presented but in view Of the strength of the public utilities interests in the legislature there is much mystery, so far, as to how the idea will be entertained by the committee on railroads and the legis-

New York, Feb. 23.-(UP).-Stac- cato gunfire which crashed through the strains of a waltz in Brooklyn ldime-dance hall, killing one man, wounding another probably fatally, and causing a riot in which 500 per- sons were injured, was the gunman's answer to-day to a police drive on gangsters, racketeers and gunmen. The police drive followed a record breaking week in which six gang killings had been recorded.
 The gun battle broke out at mid- night in the Paramount Danceland. a cheap dance hall in Brooklyn. More that 400 dancers were on the floor when. according to the story pieced together by police. somebody insulted the hostess. Fists flew. Then gunfire sounded above the music of the band.
 Men and women were trampled
 in the panic which followed. Then someone turned on a siren, kept to summon police in just such an
 emergency. Patrolman John c. Reil- ly and William Gaynes and Detec- tive Cornelius Carmody responded.
 They rushed to the top floor of three-story building.
