KENNETH ALONE
COMPROMISED
BYDOCUMENT
State Scores Heavily When
Third Admission by Suspect
Is Entered on Record

BARNSTABLE, Mass, June IS
G.N.S0 .-Kenneth Buck, on trial
with his brother, Cyril, for the
kidnapping of Peggy McMath, lost
an important legal point today
when Judge Edward F.. Hanify ad-
mltted into evidence a confession
In which Kenneth said that he
alone conceived and executed the
abduction of the 10-year-old
heiresS.
The admission of the confes-
sion, the third Kenneth Buck had
made after his arrest on May 6,
was interpreted as body blow to
the defense.
Defense ExceptS
Defense Attorney Elias Burwick,
who had argued at length against
the admission of the confession,
took exception to the judges rul-
ing.
The confession which was ad-
mitted today was made to Chief
of Police Emulous E. Hail, of Har-
Wlch, at the BarnStable county
jail on May 9, three days after
Kenneth had made his first two
confessions to the State authori-
ties.
In the confession admitted to-
day Kenneth said the idea of kid
nap1ng Peggy was his own. He
needed the money and that was
why he executed the crime.
Repeats Same Tale
AS read by Hall he told how he
had gone into the woods, blacked
his face with cork and then made
two telephone calls. one to the
school saying he was Peggy's
father and would call for the girl
in his car and the other to the
McMath home saying he was a
telephone lineman and to keep
the receiver off for 10 minutes.
Kenneth. meanwhile, according
to the confession, drove to the
Harwich Center Grammar School.
got Peggy and took her to a
shack in the woods near cram
berry hog.
Judge Edward F.. Hanify yes
terday ruled out the second
confession" but allowed the
first confession" to be admitted
as evidence. In the first con-
fession" which was read to the
jury Kenneth blamed "a man
named Bill" as the brains be-
hind the kidnapping, claiming
this man hooked" him into the
kidnapping job.
The court held the second
confession" in which Kenneth
said he alone concocted the
scheme to abduct Peggy, was
not admissible. upholding the
defense contention that State
police officers used verbal pres
sure in obtaining it.

Tokyo Mayors Wit,
Like Georges Ak,
Had Keen Edge

When the first load of cherry
trees, sent to the city of Wash
ington as a gift Of friendship
by the city of Tokyo, was de-
stroyed by the Department Of
Agriculture because of an infec-
ton, a George Washington
precedent helped pave the way
for a second shipment Of
healthy trees.
Mrs. William Howard Taft
tells the story that when the
secretary of the United States
embassy informed the Tokyo
mayor of the destruction, the
mayor, Yukio Ozaki, uneasy
over the incident. said:
ooh, I believe your first
President set the example of
destroying cherry trees, didn't
he?"
The humor lightened the ten
sion and 5000 more trees were
voted by the council.

Every child should have an in
telligence test, the scores of which
the child should not know, but
which the parents and teachers
should know, so they will be in
formed as to what to expect of
the child.
If you will send me a self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope, I will
tell you where to get such tests
for children and adults.
3. Yes. You can think of plenty
of exceptions among your friends
but Karl Pearson, English statis-
tician, showed this was a fact.
Freud, Viennese psychologist, adj
vanced the theory that it is be-
cause a healthy girl grows up ad-
miring her father as her ideal
man.
He may be homely as sin, but
to her he is the glass of fashion
and mold of form" Likewise, a
healthy boy, Freud thinks, grows
from babyhood thinking his
mother the ideal woman.
She may be a fat roly poly,
but a boys first sweetheart
usually resembles his mother in
general physical build and size.
This is sufficiently the rule to
be very significant, 1t probably
has been quite a factor in human
evolution.

Contract Bridge

executed a coup play to make his
contract in the following hand:
The Bidding
The bidding was very optimistic.
Judge Richards in the South opened
with a two spade bid, and as a re-
suit found himself playing a six
spade contract doubled
Judge Richards hand contained
entirely too many losing cards to
open with an original two bid. How
ever, it was the play Of the hand
that I thought unusually interest
ing.
The Play
West opened the king of clubs
which Judge Richards in the South
won with the ace.
Summing the hand up, it now
looks as though he must lose a dia-
mond and a spade trick, even
though he can take one spade fnese.
However, seeing that there was
one possible chance of making the
hand. Judge Richards proceeded in
the following manner:
He won the next trick with the
ace of spades and then led the three
of hearts, winning in dummy with
the ace.
On dummy's king and queen of
hearts, he discarded his three and
eight of clubs. He then led the
three of spades and finessed the
jack.
Vests ten spot fell warning him
that East held the queen and eight
of spades. Judge Richards then
played his ace of diamonds and

tinued with the king, West discard
ing club.
Judge Richards then led the nine
Of diamonds and was careful to
play the ten from dummy. East
won the trick with the queen of dia-
monds.
East then made the serious mis-
take of returning the jack of hearts,
which Richards trumped with the
five of spades.
Judge Richards led the deuce of
diamonds, which was won in dummy
with the eight spot, and all he had
to do was to lead a club from
dummy which East was forced to
trump with the eight of spades.
Judge Richards overtrumped with
the nine of spades and won the last
trick with the king of spades, there
by successfully making his contract
of six spades doubled.

SPAIN FAILS TO
LOCATE LEADER
FOR NEW DEAL
Weak Government Keeps
Power Due to Fear of
What Is Next?'
BY WILLIAM II. LANDER
United Press stan Correspondent

! MADRID. Feb. 23.-The dearth Of
men of ability in the republic never
was more in evidence in Spain than
today. when many deputies will pri-
vately tell YOU Of their opposition to
the government, but do not dare to
vote against it. for uncertainty as to
what would come next.
There is a widespread demand for
change, a new deal" as they say
in the United States, but variety
of circumstances have kept Premier
/ Manuel Azana in power since Oct.
IA, 1881 when it originally was be-
lieved he would last for only a rela-
lively short while.
PrOfited by Rebellion
Had the government taken adj
vantage of the fervent republican
feeling which manifested itself
throughout the country as a re-
action to the monarchical rebellion
of Aug. 10, 1882, and held general
elections within a few weeks after
/ ward, a new cortes with a tremen-
douS republican majority would have
been elected, and the course of
events might have been different.
Even as it was, the Azana govern
ment profted greatly by the failure
of the movement.
Between Aug. 10 and today, how
ever, only one thing has served to
strengthen the AZana government,
and much has happened to make
people dissatisfied with it.
The big thing in Azana's favor
was the victory of the Ezquerra
Catalina in the Catalan elections
of Nov 20, 1882, which indirectly
was triumph for Azana.
Government Loses Strength
The Jan. 8 anarchical movement
has come and gone, but there has
been no popular reaction produced
in favor of the government as a re-
suit Of it, as happened on Aug 10.
AS a matter of fact, many per-
sons, although not in sympathy
with the anarchists and the syndi-
calistS, declare that it is perfectly
logical for these elements to feel
animosity toward the government
as long as the ministry of labor is
in the hands of a man who besides
being Socialist is the secretary of
the Union General de Trabaj adores
"a rival labor organization.
The proof that the government
is not as strong as it once was is
that only 231 out of 400 deputies
voted in favor of the 1888 budget,
and one had to come all the way
from Rome to vote for the govern
ment.

l. No, the comedian laughs
knowing you will see how foolish
he is to laugh at his own jokes.
And, of course, he knows the
truth of the poets phrase Laugh
and the world laughs with you"
The great comedians do not
laugh at their jokes. May I say
after years on the lecture plat
orm that the thing that con-
quers an audience, whether it be
comedy or pathos, is suppressed
emotion. Great emotion, under
control, will move any audience
to laughter, exaltation, or tears.
1t will do it in personal con-
versation. If you wish to be-
come a brilliant conversationalist
or successful salesman, remem-
Der this is the most basic of all
principles in influencing other
people.
2. Emphatically no. Neither
can school teachers. Some
teachers and parents suspect a
child to be bright, whereas men
tai tests often show the oppo-
site to be true. Many bright
children are thought dull, chiefly
because they are so we'll equipped
mentally that the school studies
do not interest them.

The Wilcox BroncoS defeated the

Saturday afternoon.
The Nogaies boys outplayed their
rivals throughout the game but
came out on the short end Of the
score when the final gun sounded,
thereby giving the Wilcox eleven
their first victory ovsr an Apache
football team. The Broncos made
their tallies on two intercepted pass
es and line buck for toaichdowns
and one conversion.
The Apachss outplayed their riv-
ais in every frame Of the contest,
and made five serious threats for
scores by getting within the enemy
twenty yard line on that many oc-
casions. They failed to score on
each occasion though, largely be-
cause of poor generalship. The most
serious threat came in the first
quarter when tho Apaches worked

to have forward pass intercepted
