DEAD PIRATE IS
 IDENTIFIED AS
 PROMINENT MAN
He Stole Yacht and Shot Self on Brother
 Reveals Name

Cohasset, Mass. July B. CUP )-- The strange story of gentleman farmer. who became pirate for a day and then committed suicide on the stern deck of yacht he had stolen. stood revealed to-day through identification of body found in Cohasset harbor 10 days ago.
 A brother last night belatedly identified the victim as James H., Newton, AZ. agriculturist, chairman of the selectmen of Marlow, N. H., and member of a socially-promi- nent south shore family.
 On June 22 he sent his wife, Madeline. his son and four step children strawberrying, and drove off in the family car. With him he took a :12 guage shotgun and some shells and a flashlight which he purchased at a store a few miles from home. He wrote to his father George Frederic Newton of Cohas- set. prominent architect, that the carawould be found at a Boston ga- rage. That day, at the Harvard Yale boat races at New London Conn, the yawl Cumberbunce II. owned by Mrs Margaret Love of Maiden and chartered by Williams college students, was stolen.
 One week later the Cumberbunce was found abandoned in Cohasset harbor. And few hours after ward the body of Newton, a bullet hole in his head, was discovered in shallow water nearby.
 It was established that the fatal bullet came from a .32 calibre re- volver found on the yawl, and po- lice said the man evidently had stood on the stern deck and ended his life. Newton's widow, thun- derstruck by the news of his strange fate, attributed his act to despondency. Despite financial aid from his father, he said, her hus- band had not been able to operate his 300-acre farm successfully. He attempted to resign from the select men but his resignation was re- jected.
 "I'd rather drown myself in the ocean than do a days work" she quoted him as saying shortly before he disappeared. Duncan Perkins of Norwich, Conn, one of the students who had chartered the Cumber- bunce, previously had identified the body as that of the pirate. After taking the yawl, Newton removed the first three and last two letters from the stern plate to make the name "Berbun".

DEPRESSION HAS BEEN LICKED BY
 BUSINESS MEN
More Than One Third Has Been .RecOvered--BOrn
 Five Years Ago
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY United Press Financial
 COrresDOndcnt)

Washington, July 9-(UP)- Business, aided by billions from federal and state governments, appeared today to have pulled it. self more than third of the way out of the depression which be- gan quietly five years ago this month.
 More than two years have pass ed since the absolute bottom of the depression was reached early in July, 1892.
 Today both official and private business figures showed an irregu- lar upward course since that time. interrupted temporarily 15 months ago by the banking paralysis.
 Responsible figures compiled by the Federal Reserve board showed today that industrial activity in the United States after reaching its peak of 125 per cent of the 192S- 25 average in June, 1929, declined rather steadily to 5S per cent i1 July, 1882. The index rose slightly thereafter and fell to a "second bottom of 59 per cent in March. 1883.
 A speculative boom a year ago carried 1t to 100 per cent Tn July. 1933. After another setback, ac- tivity began to rise slowly early this year to the current S5 per cent level. At this level activity had regained 40 per cent of the entire decline from June, 1929 to July. 1882.
 Com mpared with this the Bureau of labor statistics index of em- ployment has recovered more than 50 per cent of its depression loss, although $10,000,0O persons are still out of work.
 The index of payrolls has re- covered nearly 40 per cent of its depression drop from 112.9 to 37. Car loadings have recovered only 16 per cent. Commodity prices, as compiled by the Bureau of La bor statistics. have risen to 73 per cent of the 1926 average after dropping from s7> per cent to 67 per cent.

 The strikers reassembled on the highway, watching for the next truck from the fileds.
 A dozen deputies and about for injured. Thirty children were en- dangered but police and strikers at one time halted their battle to carry youngsters to safety.
 Two women, said to be strike breakers, were hurt when strikers hurled rocks through the windows of an automobile. Police finally drove the strikers back.
 Two truck-loads of beets were attacked with sticks and stones.
 The Vineland volunteer fire company turned three hose lines on the strikers who were drenched but advanced on the trucks and at- tempted to seize the drivers.
 The special deputies then got into action with blackjacks and clubs.

DIR. MOTION RETiREs

ton. He was succeeded by Robert r.
Morton, who. after nineteen years of serv-
ice. is now retiring.
Both of these prominent Negro lead
ers labored intelligently to uplift their
race and to create the proper cooperative
attitude, with mutual tolerance, between
the two races in the South As he retires
from Tuskegee DR.. Motion says there is
now "a more kindly feeling and justice for
the Negro than ever before.
1T is not 100 per cent perfect" he
went on, .'but neither is it in New York, or
Boston or in other parts of the North.
Lynchings are progressively decreasing.
This may sound strange, but the worse
they are, the more revolving and the more
abhorrent they are, the better the results.
They are shocking and then more senti-
ment IS developed against them

United States than in any other country of
the world, even Africa. The Negro enjoys
higher standard of living, of education,
of culture, higher standard of civilization
in America than any where, and this in

sAfDr. Motion said he did not approve of
segregation of the Negro, although he
thoukhtn the best thing as matter of
expedieney in many parts of the country. .
He felt however. that if left alone the

FOREST CONSERVATION


Someone has discovered IN the records
Of the Massachusetts, Colony court order
more than 500 years old, which directed
the conservation of timber This order,
dated March %. 1926. decreed as follows
"That for the preventing of incon-
veniences as does and may befaIl the plan
tation by the want of timber, that no man
Of what conditions whatsoever sell or trans
port any manner Of works or frames for
houses, planks, boards. shalops. boats.
canoes or what so ever may tend to the
destruction of timber aforesaid; how little
so ever the quantities be; without the con-
sent. appreciation. and liking of the Cover
nour and COUNSEL"
Commenting upon this display of fore
sight by the early settlers of the Massa-
ehusetts Colony, The Atlanta Georgian
says: The early law may seem to have
been entirely uncalled for. but the trainers
were looking ahead decades and centuries
They were right. as time has proved. but
their descendants forgot the warning thus
uttered by the fathers and little by little
wastage took the place of careful use.
Today great stretches of the country lie
denuded of their forests. Every year
there are felled enough trees to cover an
area equal to all of Massachusetts,, Con-
nectieut and New Jersey combined"
Many government and private agen-
eies are striving to check this depletion of
our timber and every citizen should lend
his whole hearted support to the conserva-
ton movement. We should emulate the
spirit of the pioneers of 800 years ago.
