 Boost Up Courage

speech Thursday night.
 This optimism and the presence of several members of the republi- can branch of the Roosevelt fam lily are helping to compensate in part for the absence of former President Calvin Coolidge, whU sent word that trip to Washing ton might make his hay fever worse.
 MT Hoover, thus deprived of the moral support MT Coolidge's presence might lend that night. will be given the support of the republican Roosevelts who look upon Cousin Frank as an honor- able but misguided member of the clan.
 The widow of the late President Theodore Roosevelt and her daughter Alice will represent the family in the ceremonies incident to MT Hoover's acceptance of the republican nomination for presi- dent.
 Republican politicians were coming in rapidly to-day, hardly the same men who dragged out of Chicago with long faces after IuS IcpuDlSuh IldtAohAA SOAAVSAAsASsA in June.
 The change is due to the stock market, to the rise in commodity prices. Also a new government agency, the home loan bank board, expected to be sworn in to-day to establish a chain of banks to ease the mortgage bur- den on small home owners is en- couraging many.
 Republicans are getting up fight for the first time. For three years they have been sinking deeper and deeper into despair. Just after the conventions some of the most prominent republicans privately were ready to give up hope, con- ceding states like Indiana and Kansas to the democrats.
 This feeling has changed en- tirely. Sardonic Senator Moses would have said three weeks ago, as he did this week, that MT Hoover would be reelected. But now he believes it. .

London, Aug 9-(UP)-Unem- ployment shows no signs of di- minishing in Great Britain despite the governments efforts to im- prove internal trade.
 To-day's official figures dis closed that ,2,S11,792 are registered as out of work, with about 90 per cent of them on the dole.
 This figure represents an in- crease of 64.438 over. June and an increase of 98,432 over July, 1881.
 France and Germany have suc- ceeded lately in decreasing their unemployment levels but Britain down. The public is disheartened and even the governments most astute supporters are perplexed.
 The general protective tariff, from which large benefits are an- ticipated, is now three months old: the budget has been balanced and the pound sterling begged" on stable level advantageous to export trade, but business refuses to revive.

been a calm recital, a striking con- trast to the nervous. fearful, halt ing story told by Mrs Keith Miller.
 The aviatrix had repeated her statement that she was ready to die" to save Lancaster. But when a prosecuting attorney drarnatical. ly asked: Would you lie for him ?" she replied:
 "No, you would know was ly- ing"
 She insisted Clarke killed him. self.
 The tall, quiet Britisher also said Clarke killed himself. He was in the room with Clarke at Mrs Keith-M -Miller's home when the youth died.
 He had come from St Louis the day before, ending a trip home from the west where he heard of the impending marriage of Clarke and Mrs Keith Miller. State wit nesses have testified that when he heard the news he threatened to "get rid" of Clarke.
 Mrs Keith-Miller has told of how the men quarreled at the din ner table, of how she calmcd them; of how Clarke wanted to commit suicide and how she at one time suggested a double death pact.
 As to what happened, however. between the time Mrs Keith Mil lerfretired to her Bedroom and her awakening by Lancaster early the next morning, telling her Clarke har shot himself, has not been brought out.
 Yesterday Lancaster sketched his life in the British air corps; told how he met Mrs Keith-Mil Ter at a London dinner; repeated her suggestion that she put up half the money and supplies for made the two of them famous. crack up in the Dutch West In- money in Australia. A third of 1t was sent to Lancaster's wife in London. s
 Then they came to America and finally to Miami. Early in March Lancaster flew to the west, leav- ing Clarke with Mrs Keith Miller to write 8 book of her adventures while he investigated a new airline. At this point court adjourned. Before the state rested yester- day, Mrs Keith..Miller was put through a terrific cross- examina- ton by State Attorney N. Vernon Haythorne, who drew the admis- sion that she no longed loved the memory of Haden Clarke, and had ceased to love him before he died when she discovered that he had lied to her.
 E Hawthorne's questioning was ex- tremely bitter, touching ron em- barrassins and sometimes sordid subjects:

 To-day's 50 names also included many improper signatures. Town Clerk Egan said that she would re- ject those listed as improper un- less corrections are made to con- form with the law. z
 In the meantime the independent republicans are threatening court action if they are barred from par ticipation in the coming caucuses and primaries of the g. o. D party because of their support of the in- dependent party. However, it was predicted in the state and city to- day that the regular organization would be upheld and that then in- dependents would be excluded from caucuses and primaries of the regular party. .
 Waterbury independents, how ever, appear not to fear the threat of the regular organization. They are signing right and left.

 is an assured fact that they will not go lower. When one buys next Thursday. in any of the of ficially designated Dollar day stores he or she is not speculat- ing either in goods or prices. They will obtain quality merchan- disc at rock bottom prices. And as frequently claimed the prestige and reputation of the store one pa- tronizes will be guarantee of service and satisfaction. Years of shopping in this city has taught the general public that the merchants of the city are appreciative of their patronage and on such oc- casions as Dollar day gave evil dence of their gratitude by making real bargains available.
 MT and Mrs Waterbury are urged to take an inventory of their needs, something possibly for them selves or the youngsters in wear ing apparel for vacation, school or
 college, perhaps something for the house or home. They are ad- vised to check up on the advertise ments of the officially designated Dollar day stores and urged to visit them next Thursday.
 Local merchants anticipate one of the greatest shopping events in years. They have planned faith fully and conscientiously to make 1t m outstanding event in the mer- cantile history of the city. f.
 Whether you have one or one hundred dollars to spend con- veniently next Thursday you are In. vited to visit the Dollar Day stores and determine by personal inspec- ton the truth of the promises that it is to be day of surprises and opportunities for all. . day in which to save money by spending it on this Faro occasion.

quetly defeated by United States Senator Frederic c. Walcott, re. publican.
 The selection of Attorney Butler as "keynoter" means that he will serve as temporary chairman of the convention next month in Eastern Point and will be declared permanently chairman by vote of the convention if the usual custom or procedure is followed.
 Attorney Butler was selected fSr the chairmanship by State Chair- man David A. Wilson of the statc central committee. At the last meeting of the state committee he was given the power to make the selection. Attorney Butler has been mentioned for the nomination for United States seator this year but it is unlikely that he will be in a position to enter the race if he is in the chair. Some democrats took the Wilson move as one to side- track Butler.

sleepy clerk and asked:
 Any reporters in the lobby?"
 "They're all in bed"
 With that, the stranger hurried upstairs to Libbys room, and q few moments later he came down with her, accompanied by young man said to be her brother, and by her nurse.
 Libby, who had been heavily yelled, and dressed in black, wore tan hat, tan sweater, tan skirt, white shoes and stockings. She also wore gold trimmed spectacles such as she never wore on Broad way.
 The four hurried across the lobby, rushed outside, stepped into a waiting sedan, and sped away northward.
 Libby's father, meanwhile, slept peacefully in the hotel here at Winston Salem.
 When she came into court at Wentworth yesterday afternoon to obtain her release on bail, she raised the black veil only once, that was when she exposed one eye so she might see to sign her name upon the bond which won her freedom.
 She had surrendered in the cool living room of Mrs Muna Reid S home, a room furnished with old furniture, a spinning wheel in the corner and spotless and neat with doilies and mats. She had rested an half hour as the guest of Mrs Reld. who had been named a spe- cial matron to attend Libby. Then she had crossed the street to the court house. She walked past the crepe myrtles which bloomed in great profusion. She was a sepul- chral figure. Almost fearsone garbed in black from head to foot.
 The crowd came with Libby and soon found itself fighting for en. trance into the courtroom. Judge A. M. Stack. having just disposed of a minor robbery case, was ready to hear her.

Many in the court room never gained Q glimpse of her, She rubbed her forehead through her vel nervously as her attorney ex. tolled her as q brilliant woman, In love with her husband, and now both q widow and an expectant mother.

Death Penalty
 Is German Edict
(continued from Page D

The death penalty is decreed for any person found guilty of poiiti- cal rioting treason, arson, instiga- tion of explosion or floods, or dam aging railways or railway ecuip- ment.
 The decree will go into effect immediately after President Paul von Hindenburg affixes his sigma ture to 1t.
 That official Berlin is apprehen- sive over continued bombings and other acts of violence was evident today when police appeared along the Wilhelmstr4sse and in other government quarters equipped with rifles for'the first time.
 Injuries concerning this display of arms elicited the reply that po- lice were to carry rifles only tem- porarily, that the action had been taken merely for added security after rumors were heard that Adolf Hitler's militia is concentrating.
 Hitlerites admitted the storm troopers were concentrating, but said it was merely a movement to keep the mflitiamen of the streets,
 A second decree signed by the cabinet provides for the estabiish- ment of special state courts to try all prisoners accused of violence as quickly as possible after the charges have been filed.
 It Is understood these courts would be created in Northern and Eastern Germany, especially In. East Prussia, silesia. Gchiegwig- Holstein and Brandenburg. Under present plans no such courts would be set up in Southern Germany.
 Meanwhile. renewed outbursts were reported. While police were staging huge raids in the oommun- istic district of Hamburg, hgbts and bombings were attracting of. iiciai attention in East Prussia and Gilenia.

 In formally talking, both of the city officials said that they appre- ciated the interest being shown in them throughout the state. But they explained that they have city business to attend to now which takes most of their attention and added that the matter of a place On the state ticket mus be con- sidered Iaer.
 It was the general opinion here today, though, that Mayor Hayes would decline the post of lieuten- ant governor, if it was offered to him, and that Controller Leary would be urged to run once more in view of his excellent record of two years ago when he eclipsed all records of democratic candidates for lieutenant governor.

Harmony Missing At
 Democrat Meeting

Pennington and others who have been mentioned will be swept aside If the "Old Guard" which con- trolled the spring convention, du-
 plicates it's show of strength in the fall convention next month.
 That the "Old Guard" will con- trol the convention next month,
 was the opinion expressed here and elsewhere in the state to-day.
 The "Old Guard" let slip its grasp
 on the national delegation and be-
 cause of the so-called double cross"- at the hands of Governor Wilbur L. Cross is out of control the fall convention and demand
 everything in sight with reserva-
 tins, of course, protecting the chances of democratic victory. Governor Cross will be favored for renomination. It Is likely that Controller Daniel J. Leary of this city, who ran two years ago for |lieutenant-governor and estab- lished democratic record for the number of votes obtained, will be offered the nomination once more. It was reliably stated here to-day
 that Mayor Hayes is not interested in the nt-fiovernorship. As g. result of the failure yester- day of any decision on the make up of the state ticket that another
 session will be held later this week
 or next Monday at the latest. Fast action is necessary now, with the

 of United states senator, 1t is con-
 ceded that he would be backed by
 the other "Old Guard" supporters. including the Waterbury democrat
 ic leaders.
 As stated yesterday in the Demo-
 crat, there are also several minor fights going on in the state organ

 disputes. They will not come be- | fore the state convention. However, the makeup of the state ticket

 "It's too soon. The farmers have seen the stock market spurt and commodity prices leap for ward only to fall as suddenly too many times to start a buying spree just yet" was the tenor of queries to comment by half dozen officials.
 All agreed, however, that the feeling in the farm regions was hopeful. that a continuation of the upswing would ultimately bring business in volume and that once started, the farmer would restock paint his house and barn and per- haps buy a new radio or a new automobile.
