Coercion Say Socialists

DB HttCu GTCSS
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Socialists
today denounced the Ford political
pronouncement which the Thomas
and Maurer nonpartisan committee
characterized "the most brazen in
stance of industrial feudalism in re-
cent years"
The cracking down process is
continued by Ford's cynical state
ment that while his company does
not seek to control any mans vote
Ford employees are urged to consider
seriously the alleged fact that in
dustry and employment depend
solely on Hoover's reelection" the
statement said
This is coercion and terrorism.
which Socialists have learned to ex-
pect from past experience.
THE fact that it comes two weeks
early indicates, along with Hoover's
decision to try to save Michigan for
the Republicans by speaking in De-
troit, that the Hoover cause is no.
where more desperate than in the
center of mass production.
The Ford bulletin not only at
tempts to force employees to vote for
Hoover, but suggests that they must
campaign for him among their
families on their own time, and
this two weeks after the widely ad-
vertised Sc Ford minimum wage was
cut to a."

TAYLORVILLE, III. Oct. 18.-
Virtual martial law was enforced
in the business section of this strifs-
torn mining community today
Soldier guards were thrown around
business buildings and hotels.
The. guard around two state
militia barracks was increased.
Reports of plot to bomb the
soldiers barracks were responsible
for the unusual precautions.
The plot, according to Colonel
Robert w. Davis, in command OF
seven units of the Illinois national
guard stationed here, was over
heard in Springfield by a Taylor
vile citizen
AS a result, the guard around the
barracks was doubled during the
night, and the usual day guard in
creased today.
Soldiers were placed at the front
and rear of business buildings and
of the Hotels Colonial and Antlers,
where some of the officers are
quartered.
Autoists travelling in the vicinity
were halted and required to give
an explanation of their presence.
Pedestrians also were scrutinized
and questioned on the least sus-
picion.

GIRL BATTLES
STORE BANDITS
Defeated in Hand to- Fight
With NEGROES.

Defeated in a hand-to-hand en-
counter with two Negro bandits,
Miss Sylvia Adeff, 10, failed today
to thwart the theft of clothing val
ued at $40 from her mothers dry
goods store at 1902 Howard street.
The men entered the store, oper-
ated by Mrs. Bertha Adeff, while
the daughter was alone.
The shorter of the men, dressed
in a leather jacket, hid several
pieces of lingerie beneath his cloth
ing, but was detected by Miss Adeff.
Crossing the room to the man,
she pulled open the jacket and re-
moved the loot. The man turned
and ran.
AS Miss Adeff hesitated, his COM
panion seized other articles of
clothing from the counter and at
tempted to run. Miss Adeff barred
his way and grappled with him in
an attempt to wrest the clothing
from his arms.
She was beaten off and showed
aside as the bandit completed his
dash to an automobile parked near
by in which the men escaped.

Dies for Hate
And Shops Only Friend in
World Wonders Why
1t Must Be.
NTHEN the guardian angel of

WHEN the guardian angel Of
W dog Nheaven opened the
gates today he found waiting for
admittance the spirit OF lost
dog, who had only one friend in
the world.
And that friend, Emma Lou
Reddick, 9, of 96S Eugene street,
at the same time is wondering
why Shep should pay with his
life for hating everybody but her.
"Shep," it seems, for the last
week frightened school pupils in
vicinity of Eugene and RAIDER
streets, by swapping and growing
at passersby. He bit several per-
sons, police we're told.
When he came to the Reddick
home two weeks ago "shep" took
q fancy" to Emma, and since
then would allow no other person
near.
Wherever Emma went, "Shep"
followed, growing viciously at
every person who passed.
Neighbors feared for the safety
of their children Police we're
summoned. On three occasions
"Shep" could not be found.
L ARLY today, however, the
T. emergency squad speeded to
the Reddick home. Emma had
been instructed to entice "Shep"
into a shed with a piece of bacon.
She then locked the door.
When the officers arrived,
"Shep" had hid in a dark corner.
He was nowhere to be. seen.
Strips of wood were ripped from
the side of the building. The
light rays failed to disclose
Shops" hiding place.
Flashlights, finally, revealed
his form. "Shep" was crouched
behind a box.
Two shotgun blasts sounded.
"Shep' shuddered and groaned.
Two revolver shots then pierced
his body. "Shep" died.
Gee, but he was funny. He
didn't like anybody but me,
Emma told the officers.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct 1S.-Gov-
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt started
his second major campaign trip
today through the middle west and
border states, some already regarded
as certain for HIM.
He has scheduled appearances in
twelve states having a combined
strength of 215 electoral votes.
These states, plus six others of the
solid south, would give him more
than the necessary electoral coll
lege majority of 266 votes
One of the major events of the
tour is expected to be the statement
of his attitude toward the soldier
bonus.
While his Republican opponents
talk of turning the tide Roose-
welt is driving his campaign into
new territory. He is even going into
the rock-ribbed Republican state of
Pennsylvania Wednesday to speak
at Pittsburgh.
Important Movement in Drive
Cautious Democrats find it hard
to believe the party has chance in
that state But straw votes, private
reports and the disaffection of Gov
ernor Pinchot, who has been in pro-
longed controversy with the Hoover
administration over relief, have
combined to encourage some of Gov
ernor Roosevelt's most enthusiastic
supporters.
This swing comes at an important
moment in this history making
campaign.
Roosevelt returned from his Pa
cif1c coast tour riding the crest of

Spurred by reports of Demo-
cratic strength everywhere, Presi-
dent Hoover began what his aids
describe as a lighting campaign"
which is to take him later this week
to Detroit after recent speeches in
Des Moines and Cleveland.
Republicans daily are reiterating
that the tide has turned and that
Mr.. Hoover is making millions of
votes by every speech.
Seek to Show Tide Turn
They are using every device to
build up the psychology of an elev-
enth hour swing back to President
Hoover.
Governor Roosevelt now will
throw himself against that situation.
He will be in action eight DAYS.
drawing the spotlight again upon
himself, battering at the Hoover
record.
= Stops at Rochester after lunch
and at Buffalo tonight were ar
ranged to enable Governor Roose-

WOODMEPE, L. l., Oct. ia
wifes love for her husband led her
to kill her two children and herself,
os he might be free to marry an
other woman, authorities said today
in investigating the deaths of Mrs
Jean Phillips, Norma, 6, and Chris
TOPPER, 9.
Guy Phillips, the husband, an
actor and drama coach, was safe
guarded in the domestic tragedy
when his wife shut the door to his
room before turning on four gas
jets.
Mrs. Phillips and the two children
were found dead by police Monday.
District Attorney Eilvin NJ Ed
wards said all three members of the
triangle had met in conference to
discuss a way for Phillips to marry
Mrs. Theresa Settler.
Decided on Divorces
Finally, it was decided, according
TO Edwards, that Mrs. Phillips
should seek a divorce.
Mrs. Settler would do likewise,
as she also was married.
The district attorney said Phillips
and Mrs. Settler we're to leave their
homes.
Then it was agreed that Phillips
should work out plan to take care
of his wife and two children. An
alienation suit by Settler even was
discussed.
The entire situation was brought
to a climax, Edwards said, because
Phillips lost his job as a teacher
of dramatic art.
1T seems to me-" Edwards said
today in summing up the case, that
Mrs. Phillips decided that by re-
moving herself and her two children
she would put an end to all her
husbands problems. I believe she
did it because of her love for him.
and so is not to stand in his way"

when his client refused to comment.
Mr.. Settler" Shirk said, was
willing to take her CMrs. Seltzer)
back. He gave her every chance.
Even after 1, acting as counsel,
started alienation and separation
actions, Mr.. Settler was willing to
let bygones be bygones if she would
