shot and killed his wife and mother
in-law on July 16, 1882, was electro
cuted in the District Jail today, little

District Commissioners had an
nounced the appointment Of a new
eXecutioner.
AS the time set for the electrocu-
ton drew near, District officials dis
covered that, as result Of a recent
retirement, the Jail had no execu-
toner. Then. although the Commits
sioners had refused to approve the
Board of Public Welfare's nomination
OF Robert w. Kelso as welfare director
for the District, they accepted the
groups nominee for the post Of execu-
toner.
At $50 am. while Thomas NJ.
Rives. superintendent Of the Jail, was
putting everything in readiness for the
electrocution and. at the same time,
wondering who was going TO act as

pointment was made at the District
Building
ITS Just a routine matter" said
Daniel Garges, secretary to the Com
missioners, in making the announce
ment.
The new executioner, whose identity
was withheld in keeping with ira
ditional policy of the District govern
ment, took his post in the execution
chamber a few minutes before Bolden
began his march from his cell In
death row"
Accompanied by two guards, Bolden
marched into the execution chamber

Takes Steps to Block
Demonstration.

Kenneth Romney, sergeant at arms
of the House, took steps today to stop
projected Communist demonstration
at the Capitol tomorrow in protest
against Jim Crowism" in congress

Plans for the demonstration were

Advised of the affair by Romney,
Representative De Priest, Republican,
Of Illinois, only colored member of
the House, issued a statement point
ing out the question of whether men,
bers of his race may eat in the House
restaurant is to be investigated by a
special committee appointed in obedi-
ence to House vote for his resolu-
ton, and advising every "self-reSpect-
ing Negro" to stay out of the demon
stration.
Il don't know anything about this,
and wouldn't have if it had not been
called to my attention by Mr.. ROM
ney," De Priest said
II don't want any respectable citi-
zen or any friend of mine to be mis-
led I hope no self-respecting Negro
will take part. The House has passed
my resolution to investigate the au-
thority for barring Negroes from the
restaurant, and l am perfectly will
ing to leave the whole thing to the
committee Speaker Rainey will ap.
point.
Il believe such things can better be
handled through such channels than
by brute force. I advise all law
abiding citizens to stay out Of this

DEAD DOG, REVIVED,
EXPECTED TO LIVE
Canine, in Deep Stupor, Has Not
Yet Recovered Mental
Faculties.
BY the Associated Press.

BERKELEY, Calf. April 27.-The
pink tongue of dog, revived from
death. Tapped eagerly as milk was
poured into its mouth and DR.. Robert
E. Cornish said today he hoped the
animals increasing strength eventually
would enable it to survive and thereby
advance his revivication experiment to
aid mankind.
DR.. Cornish, young research worker
at the University Of California, be-
lieves his theory of revivication some
day may be applied successfully to
human beings who have died from
heart failure, shock, submersion and
asphyxiation.
! The animal, now known as "13" be-
cause it was put to death clinicalfy on
Friday. April l3. appears to be in a
deep stupor and DR.. Cornish explained
the dog has not recovered his mental
faculties.
'"I hope the dogs brain eventually
Will become restored to the condition
it was before DEATH" DR.. Cornish said.
The dog was dead four minutes by
medical standards. 1t was asphyxiated,
the heart had stopped beating, it
ceased to breathe and its blood had
, halted its circulation. There is no
question that the dog was dead.
Then 1 injected heparin to start
its heart and deflbrinated blood into
its veins and within minute its heart
was beating, but too rapidly.

j. s. TO GIVE HELP
REPAIRING HOMES
Administration Bill to Be
Ready Soon, Capitol i
Hill Hears. M
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
American homes need plenty Of re-
pairing and the Government intends
to do something about 1t quickly.
Capitol Hill received word today an
administration bill would be sent up in
a day or so. Presumably 1t would call
would guarantee mortgages when pri-
vate lending agencies advanced funds
for home renovation.
The potential field Of operations for
a home improvement drive was shown
in a Commerce Department survey
that picked $4,000 homes in eight
cities at random and found IS, ESQ
needed some sort Of repairs.
Nearly half, moreover, lacked bath
tubs or showers; a third had no in
door toilets and a fifth were without
gas or electricity.
The prospective legislation was ex-
pected to find sympathetic welcome
in the House. Numerous bills for
home building or renovation have been
introduced already and a Banking
Subcommittee has gone deeply into
the need for Government assistance
along this line.
The Commerce survey brought out
evidence OF overcrowding and a need
for new housing. But administration
leaders decided at White House con-
ference to defer until next year a
drive for new home construction in
favor of immediate concentration on
rehabilitation.
