 Dr Paul Gorgouloff Russian, shot down the frail "Pere" Doumer at a benefit book sale for war vet erans on May 2.
 The knife of the guillotine fell at 6:03 a. m. The Russians head chopped into a basket and his body thumped into a zinc lined wicker casket. Within five minutes, horses trotted over the cobble stones drawing a closed van that carried the body to a pauper's grave.
 Monsieur Paris, as official guillotiner Anatole Deibler is call ed, officiated in grey suit and derby hat. The execution was completed so quickly that even the group of lawyers, officials. and Journalists assembled at Sante prison near the guillotine scarcely saw 1t.
 Hundreds including scores in evening dress on their way home from the cabarets of Montmarte and Montparnasse, tried to break through police lines. Immediately after the execution, police washed the blood-stained ground with a powerful hose to prevent morbid sightseers from dipping handker- chiefs in the blood.
 Barely half an hour before his execution, according to French law and custom, the assassin was awakened by his guard and lawyers and told that he must die. He said not word, but dressed calmly. Gorgoulof said a prayer in Rus sian, as he was taken to the prison chapel, repeating the words after a Russian priest. He then went

 The faces of the execution crew were expressionless. : But Gorgouloff kept his unholy smile.
 The silence was broken only by the tinkling of bell from a con- vent, nearby.
 The Russian, with a guard on either side, was now pushed, or hobbled. to the execution table. His neck was placed in the death groove. The knife fell swiftly, surely. The assassin's head toppled into a basket. It was all over in a few seconds.
 Gas lamps around the guillotine were extinguished a few seconds before the knife fell. People not close to the scaffold could see lit- tIc. Most of them heard the thud when the knife struck Gorgouloff' s neck.

"This has been c happy day." the governor told his audience, a happy one indeed because when we awoke we found that Maine had gone democratic. If Maine has gone what then is Missouri going to do?
 q came here just to say howdy.
 "I hope to get back to Missouri next month and then meet you all again. May Missouri do its duty November 8th.'5'
 Roosevelt's arrival in Missouri was the signal for the dispatch of congratulatory messages to those democratic candidates who won in the Maine governorship and con- gressional races. To Louis Brann, of Lewiston, Me, elected governor, he telegraphed that, "the tide in his country has definitely turned from the republican leadership"
 The governor steafastly refused to break his silence on the chal- lenge of Alfred E. Smith, his once Happy Warrior, that he state his position on the soldier bonus ques- tion. smiths query was directed in an article appearing in the Satur- day Evening Post.
 Several hundred persons fiocked about the nominees train in the St Louis station. At Stations along the route into Kansas small knots of voters gathered near the tracks to catch a glimpse of the special.
 The governor revealed that he plans to embark on another cam paign excursion perhaps a week or ten days after his return from the Pacific Coast October 8.
 Asked why he selected normal ly republican state like Kansas in which to deliver one of his princi- pal addresses he remarked the sell ection was made on a purely geo. graphical basis.
 ''The same applies to my stop in Sioux City, Iowa, where another major speech will be made," he said. Sioux City, he pointed out, was the hub for several states and therefore suitably located for an important campaign utterance.
 Roosevelt's second big swing was expected to take him into Ken lucky, Illinois, and probably as far west as Nebraska.

Norris anti.injunction bill, the
Senate stood in recess today with
q heavy legislative program
awaiting its return next week.
The pending program, follow

Neutron Discovery Hailed

because it does not carry an cleo
trio charge The neutron consists
Of an electron and a proton
bound together, and it may be
the unit of magnetism. It is
half way between electricity and
helium, the latter being the SIM
plest element built of electricity.
Almost WeightIess
Unlike X.rays, neutrons are not
waves but particles. They have a
record power of penetration. A
neutron will pass through many
feet of lead, impervious to X-rays,
and a mile of air. It would re-
quire 100000 million million mil
lions of neutronS to weigh one
ounce.
Practical application of neu-
irons is not yet demonstrated,
but the discovery is said to rank
with that of the electron, proton,
X-ray and cosmic rays.
Neutrons represent the first
step in the evolution Of matter
out of electrons and protons.

Britain Tars
Shun Beer for
Ice Cream
Hearst Metrotone-Fox Mo,

LONDON, Feb. 81 GN.S0..
The admiralty today indirectly
encouraged it's sailors to eat
ice cream in preference to
drinking beer.
The price of ice cream served
in cups was reduced from
four cents to three for British
tars, but the admiralty refused
to reduce the price of beer.
Perhaps the sailors won't
care, though, since one Of
the reasons for not lowering
the price of England'S famous
"bitter" was a falling off in
consumption. Additional taxes
on beer also were a reason.
