COLONEL HOUSE
. PAYS VISIT
To YAWL
Brought Personal Messages,
He Says; Only Social Call,
Governor Explains
ABOARD YACHT MAROON

ABOARD YACHT MAROON
OFF MARBLEHEAD, Mass,
July Is (LN.S.). While his
40-foot yawl bobbed around in
Marblehead harbor today, Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt dis
cussed his presidential cam
paign with Col. Edward NJ.
House, ''strong man" in the
Wilson Administration.
Colonel Houses only comment
after he had talked with Roose-
velt for nearly an hour was:
'T brought the Governor some
personal messages"
Gust Social Calf
The Governor said it was "just
a social call"
Despite his advanced age,
Colonel House is expected to play
an important role in the Gov
ernor's battle for the presidency.
The Governor had just finished
his breakfast when Colonel House
came out from the shore in
small boat and stepped aboard
the yawl.
The trim little yawl, with the
governor at the wheel, as usual,
sailed out of fashionable Marble
head Harbor early today bound
for voyage End" at Portsmouth,
N. H.
Portsmouth Tonight
Providing he gets an even
break with the wind after round
ing Cape Ann, the governor was
confident he would be able TO
negotiate the last 40-mile leg of
the cruise and drop anchor before
nightfail in Portsmouth Harbor.
AS brown as an old sea dog
from his weeks sail in the boil
ing sun and biting wind, Cover.
nor Roosevelt said he was in
"tip-top shape" for the Presi-
Dental battle which lies ahead.
Governor Roosevelt indicated
he was immensely pleased with
the resolution adopted by the
Senate for an investigation OF
the proposed treaty between the
United States and Canada over
navigation and power develop
ment of the st. Lawrence River.
May Be Witness
There is a strong possibility
the governor personally may
appear before the Senate COM
mittee to set forth his reasons
why the treaty should not be
signed until New York States
share of the power development
has been determined.
It so happened that when Mr..
Roosevelt was informed of the
resolution he was comforting on
the yawl with Basil Manly. New
York States power authority
representative at Washington.
Persons close to the governor
will not be surprised if, upon his
return to Albany early next week,
he fires another broadside at
President Hoover in the dispute
over the st. Lawrence treaty.

D, {. MAN FLAYS
CONVICT CAMPS

Conditions in Florida prison
camps are worse by far than in
the prison camps of any other
State, says John Gordon, of 1121
Seventh st. N. W.. former resi-
dent of Florida, who has lived in
Washington the last few years.
While he was in Florida. Mr..
Gordon says, the brutality in the
prison camps were matters quite
as serious as they are today. He
recalled the death of Norman
Talbert, of Langdon, N. D., who
was beaten to death by a guard.
He knew Talbert and his entire
family, having formerly lived in
Langdon. Gordon said:
"The guard, who killed Tai
bert was tried and sentenced,
but didn't serve long term.
Zone man who weighed 1877
pounds when he went to
prison camp, came out year
later with tuberculosis and
weighed only 80 pounds.
"Convicts sent to the lumber
camps, where they work for
private contractors, are treated
worse than those in the road
camps, where they work di-
rectIy for the State. In the lum-
ber camps men must swim
through malarial swamp waters
to work and work waist deep in
water all day with lunch packs
strapped to their backs"

JEALOUSY CLUE
/ PROBED ANEW
BY SHERIFF
Walkers Inquest Testimony
! Again Is Under Scrutiny
+: of N. C. Officials

WINSTON-SALEM, n. c.,
July 16 (I.N.S 1.-THE pajama
ensemble of one of the guests
or of Mrs. Libby Holman
Reynolds, bride of the late
Smith Reynolds, youthful to-
Ibacco millions heir, was found
on a downstairs divan in the
Reynolds home shortly after
the body of young Reynolds
was disc overed fatally
wounded, international News
Service learned today.
Mrs. Reynolds, former Broad
way torch" singer, had worn
pajamas during the night of the
party which preceded the
tragedy.
Ownership Is Sought
Sheriff Transou Scott today
was attempting to ascertain the
owner of the pajamas. He also
was analyzing the possible
jealousy of Smith Reynolds as
reflected in the testimony of
witnesses contained in the secret
records of the coroner.
Alb Walker, the last person at
the party to see Smith Reynolds
alive, was asked If Smith was
Jealous of his wife. He replied:
Gas far as reason for being
3eaIOuS. I don't know"
Q.-I didn't ask you whether
he had cause-I said, was
exceedingly jealous about his
wife?
Al don't know. He was
scared of their happiness.
Q.-WilI you answer the
question as to whether or not
he was jealous?
Al don't know.
Q.-Had anything ever passed
between you and Mr.. Reynolds
in regard to intimacies with his
wife?
A.-NO.
Q.-Except this one time
when he said he didn't accuse
you of being intimate with her?
A.-Yes, sir.
This last referred to the Incl
dent at the lakehouse on the
estate when Mrs. Libby Holman
Reynolds put her arm about
Walker and whispered something
in his ear and Smith later told
Walker he had seen it but didn't
blame Walker for anything that
happened"
Q.-Haven't you repeatedly
made the statement to people
here since this occurred that
he was jealous of Mrs. Rey-
nOldS?
Al have said this-jealOusy
to my mind is interpreting an
other man being involved in
the wOman'S life. But he was
scared that there was going
to be something.
Q.-DO you say then that he
was suspicious of her?
A.-NO, sir.
Q.-What do you mean when
you say: "He thought some
thing would become invOlved?"
Al mean he was looking
into the future of the thing.
The reason l say this is be-
cause in the conversation we
had in the hotel he said: "WelI,
even if we do go this winter,
1 would be from o'clock in
the morning all day in school
and she wouldn't get away
from the theater until prob
ably 1 o'clock, and we would
never see each other" And
he was afraid something was
going to break up this happi-
ness of his.
Walker was referring to the
night he and Reynolds spent |
away from home in a local hotel
at which they discussed the plans
of Reynolds for a second trip
around the world0
Q.-Did Mr.. Reynolds have
any opposition to Mrs. Rey-
nOlds remaining on the stage?
A.-NO sir. Mrs. Reynolds
had asked if he didn't want
her to give up the stage and he
said: BY no means And also
in his conversation in the hotel
he told me it was the last
thing he would ever want her
to do; that if she would ask
him to give up aviation, he
would be terribly hurt but
would do it and it would be
the same thing with her.

DEPRESSION IS
 CRASHING THE
 SALARIED MEN
No More Million Dollar a
 Year Executives - The
 Movie People Too Are Feeling the Knife
By RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY Copyright, 1882, by United Press

Copyright, 1882. by United Prcss)
 New York, Dec 19-CUP)-The day of the million dollar a year business executive apparently as ended by the depression.
 Although numerous corporation salaries ranging from $25.00O to $2OO, 900 are recorded. the depres- sion cut deeply among executives who received their chief renumer- ation from a share in the business bonus and employe compensation payments.
 An example is Eugene c. Grace, dynamic head of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. He received Sly 623,753 in 1929 through large bonus payne ts, but may be re- ceiving no more than $12.00O a year as salary" this year. Bethle- hem's earnings have dwindled to nothing this year, so bonus pay ments are unlikely. Grace's salary, however, may have been raised re- gently to offset this loss as Char les M. Schwab, his chief, says Grace is the 'best steel man in the world" and worth a million dollars year and more."
 Another member of the million dollar class was George w Hill, American Tobacco Co.,. president. He received pay of $1,010.507 in 1880 and $1,018,OOO in 1881. The latter was divided $168,000> salary and $850,OOO bonus figured on a basis of profits. Profits were lower this year.

 "A year ago requested that congress should authorize creation of q debt commission to deal with situations which were bound to arise. The congress did not consid- CT this wise. In the situation as 1t has developed, 1t appears neces- sary for tho executive to proceed. Obviously any conclusions would be subject to approval by the con- gress.
 "On the other hand. should the congress prefer to authorize by a legislative enactment q comn1is- sion set up along the lines above indicated, it would meet by hearty approval.
