housework. When that is finished
the elderly father reads aloud from
the Bible. His favorite passage is
the story of the return of the Prod
igal Son.
On Sundays the girls attend SUM-
day school at the Quaker church,
while the father stays at home and
with the aid of married daughter
prepares dinner.
1t was one of these dinners, with
baked chicken the principal course,
that the outlaw son ate on his last
visit home with his sweetheart,
Miss Evelyn Frechette, early in
April.
The home is furnished simply.
On the walls of the front room
hang mottoes-"Be Kind To Each
Other,o and "God Bless Our
Home.'
The chief adornment Of the
kitchen is a wood-burning stove on
which all the meals are prepared.
The elder Dillinger has been the

THREE DIE
IN SING SING

OSSINING, N. Y, June 8. U.P)
Three members of the Bronx in
surance murder syndicate" had paid
with their lives today for the slay-
ing of Durable Mike" Malloy,
unemployed derelict who with
stood half a dozen attempted
assassinations.
A fourth, granted last minute
reprieve on a plea OF insanity,
clung to his cell bars as his mates
walked down the corridor to the
electrocution chamber. The state
exacted the penalty from all
three in 16 minutes times.
Joseph Murphy, bartender, gain
ed two-weeks stay of electro
cution. Frank Pasqua, 25, under
taker; Daniel Kreisberg, 20, fruit
merchant, and Anthony Marino,
%, speakeasy proprietor, calmly
paid in full for killing the old
barfly Malloy-for $1,780 insur-
ance-in New York crimonology's
most bizarre case for the reason
that durable Mike proved hard to
kill.
They elected Malloy their victim
and insured him because he looked
easy to do away with.
Then they tried to kill him by
running him down with taxicab
twice, by plying him with wood
alcohol and leaving him drenched
on wintry park bench, by feed
ing him poisoned oysters and sar-
dimes with the can ground up in
them-all without phasing durable
Mike.
Finally they stuffed a rubber hose
into Malloys mouth and turned
on the gas. He died.
Marino went smiling to the chair,
Pasqua said little. Kreisberg walk
ed to the chair with a frown on
his face.

Chiroprdctors
Hold Meeting

Imperial Valley Chiropractic as
sociation held its regular meeting
last night at the home of DR.. Rob-
bert Palmer Plans were made at
the meeting to sponsor a state as
sociation movement to amend the
present state chiropractic law, which
would entitle employees under the
state workmen's compensation act
to receive the professional services
of a chiropractor. This would re-
move hardship from many work
ers who at present are obliged to
pay their own chiropractic doctor
bill. AS a result of last night S
meeting petitions will be circulated
in every town in the valley during
the next three weeks.
The association officers present
with their wives were: DR.. Robert
Palmer, president; Dr. Albert
Blume, vice-president; DR.. Goble
Hurst, secretary; DR.. Alvin Bow
man, treasurer.
Refreshments were served by
Mrs. Palmer at the close of the

MERRIAM To
UPHOLD LAW

SACRAMENTO, June 8. U.P) -
Vigilante committees as we'll as
strikers must remain within the
law" in the opinion of acting Gov
ernor Frank F. Merriam.
In answer to protests of a group
of apricot pickers from Brentwood
who protested deportation from
Contra Costa county because of
picketing activities, Merriam said
he would do "all in my power to
enforce the law"
Questioned concerning the activi-
ties of state highway patrolmen in
taking part in quelling labor dis
turbances, Merriam said
THAT is a question that will have
to be settled by the legislature. 1t
will have to determine how far the
patrol can CO."
when the strikers asked for pro-
lection, Merriam said he was sym
pathetic but had no enforcement
machinery.
Il believe everybody, big and lit
tie, should abide by the law. don't
believe any group has the right to
take the law into its hands, either
the workers or the ranchers."

teachers. cs

Kiwanis club by the Rotarians, to
meet in combat on the baseball
field, and if success is achieved, the
Rotarians plan to do a little Lion
tail-twisting, provided there are
enough survivors from the KiWanis-
Rotary scrimmage. Dick Hayden was

wars" which seem always to have broken out
just after the white man had discovered another
bit of particularly desirable country.
II Davy's motto was an apt one for his times,
1t seems to be equally so for the America of to-
day, even though We may have lost sight of Its
true meaning. For a belief, amounting almost to
a certainty, In the r~ightness of our country In all
things seems to be an essential part of the
American credo. We like to think that we are
the greatest nation on earth, that we have ''gone
ahead of every other nation. We have trans
lated Davy's "go ahead into "get ahead" and
that we have done-sometimes as ruthlessly as
did the frontiersmen of his time. But whether
we have interpreted his motto wrongly or right
ly, the fact that he gave 1t TO us and that we as
sociafe the admonition In Ii with his name Is
perhaps another reason why he is 80 well re-
membered.
When did Crockett first use this motto? Miss
Rourke in her book dates 1t from shortly after
the close of the War Of 1872. Crockett, home
from service under Jackson against the Creeks,
had settled ON new land near Shoal creek In
western Tennessee. 1t was wild country with
dangerous characters, both red and white, roam
ing through It. A regiment OF militia was organ
lied by the settlers and Crockett was elected
colonel. A little later they decided to set up a
form OF local government and urged Dayy to ac-
cept the position of magistrate. Says Miss
Rourke:
Finding that he would be obliged not only to
write his name but to make out warrants and
keep a record Of his proceedings, Crockett began
to read whatever he could find and TO practice
the art of handwriting. This was slow work, but
he made progress. 1t was at this time that be
began to inscribe a motto at the end Of docu-
ments. Be always sure you're right, then go
ahead"
Having proved his ability as a local magis-
trate, Crockett was next prevailed upon to be-
come a candidate for the Tennessee state legis-
lature. He was elected. Next they sent him to
congress. And 1t Is In regard to his career there
that this new biography brings out a part of the
significance of Davy Crockett In American his
tory that other biographers seem to have missed.
Commenting on his role as the champion Of the
settlers as against the spectators. In what was
then the West, Miss Rourke says:
Crockett achieved a homely craftsmanship.
His bin dealing with this question was carefully
thought out and well phrased, and he supported

ARMY TEAM AND
STARS PLAY TO
TIE YESTERDAY
DIAMONDBALL GAME STAG
ED AT ARMY FIELD WENT
EIGHTEEN INNINGS; SCORE
In HOT BATTLE WAS LII

A new record is believed to
have been set in a diamondball
game played yesterday at the
Army field between Uncle Sans
boys and picked team of stars
sponsored by Blonde Goehring.
Each team scored a run in the
opening inning, without another
tally crossing the plate in the sew
enteen additional innings played,
concluding an eighteen-inning
battle with the score tied when
the game was called on account
of darkness.
The fast-stepping Army ten
still remain undefeated in their
last ten starts, and while Goeh-
rings aggregation endeavored to
take the measure of the fighting
Soldiers, it was shown that the
best his boys could do was to get
an even break.
Richards on the mound for the
Soldiers gave up only four hits,
while his opponent, Cigarette Viii
lie, held the Soldiers to the same
number.
The Stars made their last bid
in the twelfth with two men on
base and two out. Cigarette Will
lie smashed line drive down
between first and second, which
looked to be a safe hit, but Jones
at second. nabbed the ball, then
made a dive and threw him out
while lying on his back.
\ The members of both teams
played wonderful ball throughout
the entire game, and the large
number of fans in attendance
were more than pleased with the
excellent exhibition put on during
the afternoon.
