VOTES WASTED,
NEGROES TOLD

History in an address at the

Sell F. DEFENSE,
SLAYER SAYS
Of GUNPLAY
Suddenly Attacked With Pistol
After Party, Story Told BY
Maryland Doctors Son

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Oct. II.
Although Magistrate Rose Fite
decided after investigating the
fatal shooting Of Otis Tobias,
"a, son of DR.: l. H. Tobias, by
Homer Tabler, son of DR.. H. E.
Tabler, early Sunday morning,
that an inquest was not neces-
sary, State s Attorney j. Lloyd
Harshman stated today that
the case would be investigated
by the grand jury in December.
Harshman had agreed an in
quest was not necessary after the
father of the dead youth an
nounced that he did not want
Tabler prosecuted, on the aSsump-
ton that the shooting was accl-
dental or in Self-defense. No an
nouncement of plans for the
funeral of Tobias, which will be
private, has been made.
Were College ChumS
The youths, who were room
mates at the University of Mary
land and teammates on the Soc
Ger team, engaged in a terrific
scuffle behind the Tabler home
at dawn after returning from a
gay party at the home Of mu-
tual friend.
Young Tabler was overcome
with grief today.
Tabler, the son of DR.. H. E.
Tabler, told police he had no idea
why his friend attacked him. They
had a pleasant time at the party,
marred only by Tobias recollec-
ton of dispute they had had
four years before, Tabler said.
But after that incident, Tabler
declared, they shook hands and
parted on their old friendly terms.
Girls Taken Home
Both drove their girl COM
panions home and Tabler was
putting his car in the garage when
Tobias and three friends drove up
he said.
Seeing his old chum wild-eyed
and with a gun in his hand,
Tabler said, he stood dumfounded
until Tobias shouted he was 60
ing to kill him.
Tabler told authorities he had
just placed in his pocket a gun
which he always carried in the
car while driving on the lonely
roads in this vicinity. But, un-
willing to harm his chum, he
turned and started running to-
ward his home.
Thrown to Ground
Tobias overlook him near the
door of the residence, Tabler said,
leaped on his back and bore him
to the ground. There followed a
bitter combat for possession of
Tobias gun. Feeling himself
growing weak and believing he
was about to die, Tabler told au-
thorities, he drew his own gun and
fired one shot. The bullet struck
Tobias in the head,
Tobias three companions, who
were unknown to Tabler, fled
when the injured youth fell to the
ground. Tabler carried his chum
to his fathers operating room and
stood by while he died.
Tabler said the dispute at the
party was inconsequential. Al
though close friends, he and To
bias occasionally engaged in dis
putes but always shook hands
afterwards, Tabler said. The
dispute Tobias recalled at the
party resulted in a fight four
years ago in which Tobias shoul-
der was injured, Tabler said.

CAJJSE IMPORTANT THING
IN HEART DISEASE CASES
Reasons for Changes Only Guide for Treatment

At present, rheumatic disease &C
counts for one-fifth OF all OF the
deaths from heart disease, and any
where from one-ioursh to one-half
Of all the patients who are being
treated for heart disease.
OF the patients studied at post
mortem, about one-half are found to
have damaged hearts as the result OF
disturbance of the vessels which sup
ply the heart with blood.
About one-fifth Of all the patients
treated for heart disease by physicians
are probably cases in which the blood
vessels Of the heart are damaged.
It is obviously Of the greatest i'm
portance for everyone to realize the
basic causes Of heart disease, II the
condition is to be properly controlled.
The diagnosis of heart disease should
properly depend always on the cause
Of the trouble.
# the incorrect action Of the valves
is due to rheumatic infection, that is
the important point. If the pain is
due to changes in the blood vessels OF
the heart, the change in the blood
vessels is far more important than
the pain, so far as concerns the treat
ment of the disease.
Pain may be controlled by various
types of treatment but the disease
will progress unless the cause is at
tackled.

It Touches Every Home

An empty crib IN the Llndbergh
home is tragic symbol of what
nenaces every home where children
are. No one can tell where it will
strike next. It may be the act of a
degenerate and sadden the hearts Of
the poor as well as the rich. Money
greed Is not always the motive in such
crimes as this. Monsters have reached
out and silenced childish prattle to
satisfy rhost british desires.
An abduction from home around
which loving people have woven ro-
Nance and deepest interest has made
thu foul deed stand out In ugliest as
pect. No other news holds such vital
and untirins interest.

John Philip SOusa

When one thinks of bands and their
contribution to the music Of this and
other nations, the name of John
Philip Sousa comes first to mind. His
marches immortalize his name. Few
| figures in his particular field of music
approximate Sousa's fame; none has
received the popular acclaim that is
his.
He had composed 300 works and his
band played in practically every state
in the nation and most of the import
ant cities of the world. The strains
Of his martial music contributed much
in fostering devotion to the nation.
His music put in stirring notes what
every patriot feels toward the flag.
It is hard to estimate the real serv-
ices of such leader. >
Sousa died., as it were, in the har-
ness. Death came but few hours
after he had laid down the baton for
the last time. What going could have
been more fitting for man whose
vigor and application to the art he
loved were outstanding character
istics?
Great leadership of the United
States Marine band focused atten-
ton upon him early in his career. He
displayed genius there which pres
aged great future. Band music ap-
pealed to him above all other forms
of expression. but he was no mediocre
musician. AS first violinist in the
famous orchestra of Offenbach, COM
poser of THE Tales of Hoffman, he
displayed great genius.
Sousa reflected his ideals in the di-
rection of his band and in his compo-
sitions for which he was as famous, If
not more so, than as director. Few
artists played a greater part than he
! did III popularizing good music
throughout America. He lived for
music and because he loved his art so
much, he carried millions along with
him in great devotion to it.

eral cooperation be had when kidnap-
ing becomes inter state in its char
acter Federal agents have volun-
teered assistance in this case without
the pressure of enactment. Some form
Of federal anti kidnapping law is Reed
ed, but at the same time state laws
and penalties against such a crime
must be made more severe. The fed
eral government can never be so eff
fective as the state In coping with
such crime. The job. of dealing with
kidnapping is essentially an obligation
of the various states with federal en-
actment to supplement- and aid in
the detection of such criminals. There
should be no shifting entirely OF re-
sponsibility to federal authority. That
would be a backward step.
Kidnapers have existed even before
pirates rode the Spanish main. Hold
ing for ransom is as old as history it.
self. The United States has witnessed,
in the last few years, an increase of
the crime. In many instances, kid
mapping has proved an easy way to COL
lect great sums of money. Recent
cases have involved more adults than
children and most of the kidnapping
has been done by members of gang
land. Many Of these gangs have
grown in power as a result of the
liquor racket and when business in
booze gets slow, their activities turn
to other phases of crime.
kidnapping is hard to run down. In
this case there is baby in the hands
OF brute or gang Of criminals. The
perpetrators of this crime know their
power over the bereaved parents who
care only for the return of the loved
one. So wisdom and care must al
ways be used in striking at such
fiends.
That is the great problem before
the lawmakers and authorities in the
Lindbergh case. One false move on
the part of the police and it is doubt
full whether the child will be recov-
cred.
A whole nation is in prayerful hope
that the child will be saved. If adj
ditional laws can reach such GRIMM
ais more effectively there should be
no delay in enacting them.

Jamestown's Tragedy

The final outcome of North Dako-

polls March Is, but there seems to be
little reason to believe that North Da-

Every sign points in that direction

on the side of Bismarck. For why
should the citizens of a state already
burdened with problems, add to those
problems by abandoning we'll over a
million dollars worth of property and
prepare to shoulder greater tax bur-
den by making so disastrous a
change?
Jamestowns tragedy lies not SO
much in almost certain defeat of the
wrongly-d directed ambitions of some Of
her citizens. but in the onus of con-
tempt bearing down on her city from
the rest Of the state and in the in
ternal friction developed within her

campaign to remove the capital.
