MALONE HEARD
ADDRESS TODAY AT
ROTARY LUNCHEON
REV. GEkItLER ALSO GIVES
TALK DURING MONDAY
SESSION, lay PLANS FOR
"BoYs, WEEK

In the absence of the president
Mayor William H. Malone presid-
ed at the meeting Of the Rotary
Club today. The main topic com.
ing before the meeting was that
of what could the club do toward
benefiting conditions in genera
| as they exist today, particularly
the business and economic side Of
the question.
In response to an invitation OF
the club to be heard on this sub
| jeet, Rev. J. G. Gekeler, of the
Presbyterian Church, gave an ex-
cellent talk, and made particular
reference to the fact that he felt
that R0tarians themselves would
be doing the wise thing if they
would place more attention on
church attendance, and make q
display Of this spirit among all
with whom they may come in con-
tact.
Rev. Gekelef said. that this was
the right start, and stated that il
was the essential thing to be con-
sidered BY those who are longing
for prosperity to return. He said
that the church is the main factor
in all things, and without the
church there can be no real and
continued success.
At the conclusion of his re-
marks, the Rotarians as a whole
concurred with the reverend in his
timely advice, and promised to
make church attendance more
regular practice in the future.
Mayor William H. Malone gave
an address dealing with existing
conditions Of today along various
lines saying that one of the main
drawbacks is that there is so much
pessimism to be found on every
hand, and advocated that every
one assume more optimistic
view of things, which fact he said
would no doubt help wonderfully
in overcoming some of the OBJ
stacles with which we are now con-
fr0nted.
Mr.. Malone said that just prior
to having been selected as mayor
of the city d few months he eele-
brated his Goth birthday, and since
that, time has grown 4 years older.
making him so now accordingly, ali
of which was due to the fact that
he has had nothing but trials and
tribulations in the administration
Of his duties during the short time
as chief executive of the city. Mr..
Malone said that he hoped that
there would be change inSthe at
titude Of those who are prone to
discourage most everything that
may appear to be bright, hoping
that they would make an endeav-
OF to boost and refrain from de-
moralizing any venture that may
be undertaken.
Plans were made for fostering
"Boys' Week. which will come
before the Rotary luncheon next
Thursday, and hope was ex-
pressed that the boys and theil
friends attend church on this com.
ing Sunday in order that they may
get away to d good start for the
proposed event.

MAY
SOON GET OUT OF
POLITICAL ARENA
GREAT BRITTAINER WITH
RANK SECOND TO DAVID
LLOYD GEORGE WILL SOON
BE SEVENTY YEARS OLD
BY OSCAR LEIDING
city Ass0eIafed IsreSSl

LONDON, April 81. Sir Aus,
ten Chamberlain, who ranks sec
ond to David Lloyd George for
length of service In the house of
commons, has dropped a hint that
he may soon retire from active
political life.
He will be 10 years old next
October and is now in the forty
first year of continuous member
ship in the commons. Lloyd
George, father of the house.,
entered two years earlier.
Is Linked With Past
There is nothing definite about
the contemplated retirement. Sir
Austen merely limited at it in a
speech in Birmingham. Political
observers promptly jumped to the
conclusion that he plans not to
seek reelection at the end of the
present parliament.
Sir Austen's departure, when it
occurs, will remove a picturesque
link with his father, the noted
Joseph Chamberlain, who sat in
the house for nearly 40 years.
There is visible reminder Of
the elder Chamberlain in the
Chamberlain who often sits now,
as his father did, with a monocle
screwed to one eye, his hat tip
ped back, and his legs stretched
out.
Always The Monocle
Sir Austen and his single eye
glass seem never parted, no more
so than his father and his mono
Gle. There are other physical
Resemblance, though politically
they often travelled different
roads.
But Sir Austen's projected de-
parture will not mean, as long as
his half-brother Neville is on the
politiel scene, a severance of the
last link with his father.
Neville Chamberlain, now cham
cellor of exchequer, post Sir
Austen held on two occasions, is
in his prime at Cd. 1t has been
his ascendaney in the last few
years that has marked Sir Austen's
withdrawal to the political back
ground.
Shared Nobel Prize
Outstanding in Sir Austen's ca
reer was his promotion of the Lo-
carno conference. For this achieve
ment he was honored by King
George with knighthood in the Or
der of the Garter and, with Charles
G.. Dawes, shared the Nobel
peace prize for 1925.
Retirement may give him more
time to spend with his flowers.
An amateur gardener of no mean
repute, he inherits his fathers par
ticular fondness for orchids.

peasant hands. Her face is the
face Of an aristocrat.
We followed her-and the play
of emotions upon that dark young
face made it so easy-through
grammar school, into the bakery
where she sold pies and cakes, into
the shop where she sold corsets.
And then suddenly we stopped
with her beside-Bill Costello and
saw that first meeting. She
smiled then, at the memory.
Do murderesses smile at the
memory of a first meeting with
the victim whom they have CLAIM?
I do not know.
Poppy Interlude
But Jessie Costello smiled as
she told us how with a poppy in
her hand, a little red silk poppy
that she was selling for the
American Legion, she walked into
the firehouse and was introduced
to Bill Costello and pinned that
poppy upon his uniform coat.
Impossible then, not to remem.
ber, too, the dead body of Bill
Costello, twisted in agony and to
wonder in Mortified amazement
at the girl who brought him that
poppy, also handed him that
deadly poison.
Four children she bore him
raised for him. On a salary of
$35 to $38 a week. It isn't much
and she did it for years-and
took care Of his old father. and
even when she was expecting a
child carried him his meals.
Helped on Fund
And took her children to
school, and belonged to a com.
munity association and raised
$4,000 for the unemployed-when
she had time to spare.
It wasn't the setting for a mur-
dereSS.
And yet-and yet
The woman has a terrific force.
You can see that she didn't grow
old and lazy and tired of life in
the long, lean, hard years. She
loves life tremendously.

TERROR STORY
! BY MERCHANT
NAMES GIRL

CHICAGO, Aug. 2 G.N.S0.
Racketeer methods Of terrorism
to force tribute from industry
were laid bare in grim detail
today with the testimony of
Joseph Goldblatt, merchant,
against two union officials and
a girl accomplice on trial for
murder.
Defying gangland, Goldblatt
outlined the campaign of terror
ism directed against his six de-
partment stores that ended in
the Staying of Stanley Gross, a
watchman.
Gross was shot to death as he
was guarding one of Goldblatt's
stores from repeated attacks by
Gunmen and window smashers.
Tells Of ExtortiOn
Defendants in the trial are
John Rooney, secretary treasurer
of the Circular Distributors
Union; Henry Berry, business
agent, and Rosalie Rizzo, sweet
heart of Rooney.
Goldblatt testified that he had
paid $4,670 to Rooney for pro
lection" against vandalism. After
he had refused further payments
t. Rooney, there followed a cam
paign Of vandalism eliminating
in the killing of Gross, the
merchant stated.
Stencil bombs were thrown into
the stores, windows were
smashed, employees were man.
handled, and merchandise was
destroyed.
Even while conferring in his
office with police detectives to
whom he had appealed, three
shots were fired into the store
by a terrorist, Goldblatt testified.
"PlOt" Overheard
The merchant said the trouble
began when he refused the pro
position of Rooney that he pay
300 circular distributors 1925 a
day instead Of the So they were
getting.
Tributes amounting to $4,76O
then were paid to Rooney to
stop the resulting vandalism, he
said.

Sylvia Sidney, movie actress
against whom charges Of "profes-

the studios when she walked out
on a picture, said today that if
the throat operation she under
went two weeks ago is not sue
cessful, it will be impossible for
her to remain in the movies. q.
She arrived last night by plane
from the coast. Today and to-
morrow she will consult spe.
cialists. She said:
81 will not know for a few
days whether the operation
which involved taking several
stitches in the base of my
tongue was successful. But, If it
is not, / will have another Ope-
ration for the removal of a
gland which will leave a scar
on my face. That would be the
end Of my picture career"
AS for her leaving the picture
unfinished, she said that If the
doctors sent to examine her by
the Paramount studios had been
more courteous things might
have been different" She added:
"But they treated me as if
I were a nobody, and their ex-
animation was, at the most.
curSOry."
