STAGE RIOT
OVERPAY
CharWomen Storm Office of
Leroy HaIbert as Checks
Are Discovered Short

More than 200 angry, hys-
terical and weeping women to-
day stormed the office of Le-
roy A. Halbert, director of the
local emergency relief agency,
protesting the shortness of
their first pay under the Civil
Works Administration.
Most of the women were en-
ployed as charwomen and in the
sewing rooms in the Ford Build
ing, John Marshall Place and
Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest,
and in the Bradley School, Lin
wood Place and c Street South
west.
Halbert Denounced
All work in Mr.. Halbert's office
at John Marshall Place and C
Street Northwest, stopped with the
arrival of-the irate workers. Mfr.
Halbert was bitterly denounced.
He explained to them they had
been paid only for work done up
to and including Wednesday be-
cause of the increase in payments
out of the local funds and be-
cause of a small clerical force to
handle the payroll.
Mr.. Halbert said if any of the
women were in distress, he would
consider each case individually
and, if necessary, would supply
money, food and fuel.
Most Are Placated
This seemed to placate most Of
the crowd, but a few decided to
go to the District Building and
continue the fight there. None
appeared there, however.
Officials at the District Building
explained the original basis of 35
cents an hour for seven hours
each day had been changed to 80
cents an hour for SiX-hour day.
This. with the telegraphic orders
of Harry L. Hopkins, civil works
administrator, ordering women do
ing sewing, nursing, educational
and char work to remain on relief
payrolls instead of the CWA rolls,
caused a delay in getting out the
checks. The women, it was en-
phasized, will soon be paid in full.

Earle Says Mothers Confess.
ion Is FaISehood; Charges
Use of Third-Degree

CHICAGO, Nov. 25 (IN.S.).
Earle Wynekoop showed his
mother, DR.. Alice Lindsay
Wynekoop, charged with the
murder of Earle's wife, how
to use the revolver with which
the girl was shot, police de-
clared Earle confessed to them
today.
The rev statement by Earle
came after DR.. Wynekoop had
been remanded to the county
jAil on the coroner's verdict hold
ing her for murder.
Bought New Cartridges
Police Capt. Thomas Duffy de-
ciared he obtained the statement
from Earle after the courts had
ruled that Earle could be held by
police until Monday for further
questioning.
Duffy said Earle told him that
he not only showed his mother
how to use the revolver, but that
he had purchased a new box OF
cartridges for the gun, which he
gave to his mother on November
II, the day before he first started
for Kansas City.
He told police, Duffy said, that
he had taken his mother to the
garage in the rear of the old 16-
room house, scene of the weird
murder, and taught her to handle
the weapon.
Earlier in the day Earle had
told reporters his mothers whole
story was a pack of lies"
Charges Third Degree
Alert and keen today after his
sleep, Earle said:
''My mother has been through
the most terrific third d-degree
that police have put anyone
through in many years in Chi
cagO. That story she tells is
absolutely untrue. Anyone who
knows her will understand it is
untrue.
"The police got her to con-
fess that by their third-degree
tactics.
"she did that because she
thought my life and safety
were in danger. Police made
her believe 1 was in danger.
They had that same story
hours before she confessed
While 1 was there the police
officers related how it could
have happened; how Rheta
came down, undreSSed; how
she was given too much anaeS-
thetic, then was shot.
NEVER HAD FIRED GUN
"Why, if police put mother
to a test, they would see that
she never fired a gun in her
life. She doesn't know how.
"Put this case on scientific
basis. If mother was going to
kill Rheta for the insurance,
just consider that she has been
practicing medicine for years
since 1895. Rheta has been in

HOTEL MEN ASK
EXEMPTIONS
BY International News Service


The code for the hotel indus
try, which goes into effect on
Monday, has caused operators OF
many establishments in receiver
ship to ask district compliance
boards for temporary exemption,
it was learned today.
NRA officials denied receipt OF
any requests for complete ex-
emption or any defiance of the
hotel code authority. 1t had
been reported that the manage
ment of some hotels had refused
to comply with the code because
they took no part in drafting the
agreement, which was approved
by President Roosevelt on Novem-
ber II.
Officials in charge of the code
stated that all requests for ex-
emption had been received by
district compliance boards and
that none had been forwarded as
vet to NRA headquarters.

feSsed the murder of her daugh-
ter-in-law. He said:
earle WynekOOp was no
good.
"There are plenty of motives.
The WynekOOps had Rheta heav-
lily insured, and Earle admitted
he and Rheta could not get
along. He started assOciating
with other women. I believe he
and his mother planned to get
rid of Rheta in order that he
might marry someone else"
The murderer of Rheta should
die for the crime, according to
Gardner'S belief. He said:
"Of course, we sometimes
change our minds about capital
punishment. But 1 still think
the State should go the limit"
Mrs. Gardner stepmother of the
slain girl, said her husband indl'
Gated he believed DR.. Wynnekoor
was guilty before she made her
confession.
However Mrs. Gardner expressed
belief Rheta had implicit conf
dence in DR.. Wynekoop to the
end. She said:
81 remember that she said to
me during one visit that she
wished she had a woman like
DIR. WynekOOp to have guided
her when she was a mOtherleSs
girl. 1 do not think that Rheta
had any doubt of her to the
very last, for she trusted her"

Bridgeport, Conn. (UP)-The old nickel schooner of beer never can make a profitable comeback. according to the Beer, Wine and Liquor Merchants association of Connecticut.
 P. J. Reilly, its president, took the trouble to figure 1t out on paper and determined that a tavern keeper, selling on the aver- age of four barrels week, would show . net progt of 4.53 if he sold a 10-ounce glass for a dime.
 Reilly figured lights, ice, pretz- els, broken glasses, renti state tax. telephone, state and federal license fees, labor and gas expenses would amount of $151.87, including $64 1 for beer at SIS a barrel.
 The return on the beer, he conn puted, would amount to $166.40, leaving a profit of $4.53. Out of this amount, he said, the original investment for fixtures, etc, must be cleared.

(By United Press)

Washington, Aug 22.-(UP)- Edward F. McGrady just sworn In as assistant secretary of labor probably has been arrested more often than any other member Of the present administration. McGrady has been in the thick of many union strikes. He was jailed for his activities in behalf of the United Mine Workers in Kansas, and was driven out of the Happy Valley" in eastern Tennes- see during the textile mill disorders there several years ago.
 The Happy Valley" experience was McGrady's most thrilling. He had gone down to Elizabeth ton, Tenn, to help organize the workers in German controlled rayon mill. The plight of thou sands of mountaineer men, women and youth working at low wages aroused his sympathy.
 When he reached Elizabethton, in the heart of the valley, he ar- ranged to speak before the execu- tive committee of the Chamber Of Commerce.
 A few hours after he spoke, he was escorted out of town by a cavalcade of 20 automobiles. Left on a desolate mountain roadside, he was told that Foreigners were apt to be killed in the valley and it would be better for his life and limb" if he stayed out for good. McGrady went back the next day. McGrady is an expert on modern printing presses, and was once pressman and foreman of the Bos- ton Traveller. He participated in a long-shoremen's strike in Bos- ton when a youth. A friend of those days was asked if McGrady didn't even then "throw some pretty strong speeches?"
 "No, 1t was bricks" was the an- swer.
 The folks back home may like to
 know that former Governor Theo- dore Bilbo of Mississippi has found
