Only Ashes
Youth, With Success

Life; May Live.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 8.-John
IN Gibson, 81. had success in
his grasp, but he was bored. He
had seen enough of the world, he
thought, to be satisfied that life
was nuisance.
So, with a diploma he had re-
ceived last week from the Mas
sachusetts Institute Of Technology
and a S4,000-a-year contract as
technical engineer in his pocket,
he boarded the coastal steamer
New York at Boston on Tuesday
night, determined to end his life.
He locked himself in his cabin,
slashed his throat mad wrists, and
stretched out on his bunk to
await death. Then he sank into
a stupor.
This morning as the vessel
steamed down the East river to-
ward its pier, he opened his eyes
and saw the bright light of day.
He was dismayed to find himself
alive.
Gibson dragged himself to the
window. crawled through and
dropped overheard, without any
one aboard the ship knowing Of
his leap. But John Loiacona, a
mason. working on Welfare island,
saw Gibson splash into the wa
ter as the vessel passed.
He dived into the water and
grasped the weakened youth about
the neck and carried him to the
island.
Gibson was taken TO Metropoli-
tan hospital, where it is said
he will live. He gave his ad-
dress as 229 Union street, Ben
nington, VT.

viii Hays, president Of the mo-
ton picture industry, former state
and national Republican chairman,
and Senator Daniel o. Hastings,
from Delaware. shared the rostrum
at Tomlinson hall today.
The convention session Thursday
will be in Cadle tabernacle.
Pleads for Patriotism
Hays, making his first appearance
in Indiana politics in several years,
pleaded for patriotism in time of
peace as we'll as in time of war and
make the country's affairs your own
business"
Hays placed before the convention
his own estimate of President Hoover
which he asked the Republicans OF
his native state TO adopt
President Hoover has the I'M
tagging constancy OF an honest
heart" Hays said.
He recognizes the resources of
wealth and sincerely regards the
necessity Of the needy.
Hoover knows no latitude, no
longitude, in his tireleSs efforts to
help every man, woman and child in
this country.
mo political position, no piled up
wealth, no social station reaches a
higher plane than the one on which
our President stands by virtue Of his
humanity.
IF it is unwise to change horses
in the middle of the stream, it would
be more unwise to change barrels
while going over Niagara Falls he
told the delegates. Every genera
ton suffered a depression. 1t is not
the size of the dog in a fight, it is
the size of the fight in the dog"
Hays introduced Hastings.
Watson Lauded by Hastings
Hastings opening remarks Landed
Senator James E. Watson. He then
criticised several Of his Democratic
colleagues who had failed TO aid
the present administration. When
he mentioned the defeat in Iowa
of Senator Smith W. Brookhart,
the hall rang with loud applause.
"Brookhart has been abusing Hoo
yer since 1881" he declared, and
he has not had practical solution
for a single problem"
The Delaware senator chided large
business interests for their 'un-
warranted" criticism of congress
and the national administration for
placing the blame for the eco
nomic crisis. He, too, told of the
necessity to return President Hoover
to the White House and Senator
Watson to the senate.
Watson's Voice Missed
The booming voice of Watson was
missed by old-time Republicans,
while friends of Senator Arthur R.
Robinson. who was to make the
introductions, wondered at his alb
sence.
Watson and Robinson both insist
they will not under any condition,
attend the convention, according to
washington dispatches. They sent
this afternoon a joint telegram Of
greetings to state chairman Ivan c.
Morgan to be read to convention
Thursday.
Watson said he would permit state
convention leaders to select the dele
gate to nominate him.
Several persons called Watson by
long distance. They asked him TO
come to convention or commit him

but Watson is said to have replied

policy.
