NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-Mrs. Rose
Gonzales answered a door bell al
most two years ago with her hus-
band, saw two men shoot him to
death, swore vengeance and today
the alleged slayers were imprisoned
after she had trailed them to Spain
and Mexico.
She and her husband operated a
small rooming house in Yonkers
when the roar of gunfire left her
widow. She had dropped to the
floor, just in time to escape death
herself.
Two men stepped over the bodies,
entered the home, ransacked it,
took 500 in cash and fled. Mrs.
Gonzales could tell the police very
little, except that she would know
the men if she saw them again. for

Princeton Graduate Slain on
Rounds of His
Humble Job.
WIFE WILL : CARRY ON
Civil Engineer Victim of
Thug in Tunnel After He
Becomes Waterman.
BY PAUL Comfy FRENCH
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-Blue-
eyed, courageous Mrs. Frank G.
Smythe fought the depression TO-
day. hoping she might live as gal
lantly as her husband had died
a Princeton honor graduate muir
dered after he turned night watch
man rather than allow his children
to go hungry.
Smythe was a civil engineer. He
was valedictorian of his class. He
held a good job. Then the depres-
sion. He lost his job. He looked
for work, looked everywhere, and
finally found it.
He became a night Waterman so
he might leave the army of the I'M
employed. He made the nightly
rounds in the new Pennsylvania
railroad station here.
Killed for Loot
He walked through the shadowy
tunnel which bores through the
solid rock under the new station
last Saturday morning. There in
the false grey dawn vagrant
killed him-for $40 in cash and the
watch that Smythe wore.
The night Waterman will be
buried today, with Princeton class
mates as pallbearers.
And Mrs. Smythe quietly and
courageously plans the future of
herself and her three children,
Emily Ann, Is; John, IL, and Sandy,
Z. There was no weeping, there were
no tears, only quiVering lips as she
talked of her family and her plans.
He did as he had lived, gallant
1y, a father of whom our three
children can be proud" she said.
Always Kept Hope
1--WE lived together happily" she
continued, land always we hoped
that we could weather the storm
and ride into a safe harbor."
Il just want to be still, to be with
my memories Of him, to plan with
my children"
Her eyes lighted at mention of
the children. Emily Ann, the oldest,
understands that daddy was gone.
I'm so glad it didn't hurt daddy, ,
she sobbed, "the doctor said he
didn't hurt him at all. And I can't
worry, because mother says daddy
wouldn't want us to-"
Little Sandy, T. and the young
est, is too young to realize the
tragedy.
81 didn't have to go to school to-
day" he volunteered.
John, IL, looked on wide-eyed,
anxious to comfort his mother.
I'm the man of the house." he
announced, sensing his position,
''and I must look after mother"
Tells of COurtship
Mrs. Smythe told of their court
ship in the Pennsylvania mountains
HE was working on a construc-
ton job" she said, land lived neal
the new road. I'VE were married
and went to Mississippi, where he
worked on another job.
When the war came, and he was
commissioned a captain, he went
through the entire war without 8
scratch. When he came home
thought he was safe forever. Anc
now this"
Her voice trailed off.
She is a cousin of Amelia Ear
hart. Her father and the flier's IA
ther were half-brothers.

MANY new faces, wan and

basement Of the county court
house, where they found refuge
from winters unwelcome blasts.
Time was when mo loafining"
signs meant something. But now
they hang as meaningless SYM

Different signs would be more

rate.
Ask courthouse janitors and you
can learn something about the
habits of these distracted souls.
All of them are victims Of the de-
preston.
Their tattered clothes, unkempt
boards and detected mannerisms
tell this.
They arrive as soon as the
courthouse doors open in the
morning and remain as long as
possible at night.
No one knows where they go
then. Perhaps they saunter out
East Washington to the flophouses
or, maybe, some are lucky enough
to have rooms somewhere.

Spirit of War President Lives
On, Declares Former

Speaking at memorial services at the
tomb of Woodrow Wilson in Washing

Baker. former Secretary of War. traced
the career and education of Mr.. Wilson
to the time of the World War. Presi-
dent Wilson. he declared, brought a
new kind of leadership in world af-
fairs.
1T was only that yesterday, eight
years ago. that we laid all that was
mortal of him here to rest" Mr.. Baker
continued.
We are too near him to measure
his place IN the great background Of
history We are yet too much under
the spell Of the inspiration he gave
us to make detached estimates. His
spirit is still nightly at work in. the
hearts and minds of men; years must
show the harvest of his sowing.
we must not allow ourselves to be
dismayed or deceived by the difficulties
which faced the Peace Conference in
Paris, nor by the solution of these diff
culties, which time is showing to have
been inadequate or erroneous. I am
one Of those who ventures to believe
that some day Mr.. Wilson's phrase
Peace without victory viii be accepted
as one of the most profound and right
eous wishes ever expressed by him or
any other statesman.
For the moment, We can but say to
this great soldier: Sleep on. The Army
which you led is still advancing. the
acceptance of the doctrines YOU
preached is still growing, the ideals you
cherished are still vital and the hap
pier world toward which all our faces
are turned will recognize you as one of
the great architects of its hope"

Smith Hits Roosevelt"
Tells Jefferson Dinner He Would Fight Any Candi-
date Who Would Set Class against Class
by Denragogic Appeal.

Gov. Roosevelt:
These unhappy times call for the
building of plans that rest upon
the forgotten, the unorganized but
the indispensable units of economic
power. for plans like those of 1917
that build from the bottom up and
not from the top down, that put
their faith once more in the for
gotten man at the bottom Of the
economic pyramid.
TT Is the habit of the unthink-
ing to turn in times like this to
the illusions of economic magic.
People suggest that a huge eXpen-
dlture of public funds by the Fed
eral Government and by State and
local governments will completely
solve the unemployment problem.
How much do the shallow
thinkers realize, for example, that
approximately one-half Of our
whole population-50, 900 600 or Co.
600 900 peOple-earn their living by
farming or in small towns whose
existence Immediately depends on
farms. Here should be an objective
of government itself. to provide at
least as much assistance TO the little
fellow as it is now giving to the
large banks and corporations. That
is another example Of building from
