POLITE SLAYER
 OF HIS FATHER

Orange, N. J., Sept. 20. (UP)- A polite and calm young man ask ed policeman John Harrington if he might have a word with him. "Why, certainly" Harrington re- piled.
 Well, just shot my father dead. He's lying in a gutter over on Henry street." Harrington walk ed with his informant, who gave his name as Rocco Marano and his age as 30, to the designated gutter. There was the body Siconid Marano, GA.
 "You see,' said Rocco, "He told my mother he was going to cut off her head and eat her heart believed him."
 "Why should you believe such a thing?"
 Because he was turned out ot prison just last July. He seFved It years for killing a woman"
 "Yeah?" J4p...
 "You see," Rocco continued there must be some bad blood somewhere. While papa was in prison his brother killed his wife and baby. The cops are still look ing for him."
 "Yeah?"
 And just a few years ago they found papa's mother killed in the village street back in Italy. Some one had cut off her head"
 Harrington, having heard al that Rocco had 10 say, took him tc jail. He was charged with murder His brother, Vincent. was held al a material witness.

(Continued from Page 1.) asked why Battin had gone to tho farm.
 The witness explained he had month and half back pay coming and that Miss Hoey, honey-haired Broadway musical comedy star, who was Rogers guest, wanted to question him about some dogs. Battin said there were about 27' dogs on the place.
 Parke tried to determine whe- ther Rogers was sober or under the influence of liquor, which Kelly yesterday testified was imbfbed freely by the son of the late multi millionaire oil man.
 Well" said Battin with a half smile, "he wasn't staggering. couldn't say whether he had one drink or a doZen."
 Rogers was mad, Battin said, because seven dogs had been shot during his absence from the farm.
 "He called Miss Hoey and she took down some notes for him. He was mad about the way Rob Wright discharged farm superin- tendent) treated the pups" he added.
 "Was he mad at Miss Hoey?" asked Parke.
 Not bit" replied Battin. MT. Rogers complained to the butcher about the poor meat he was getting for the dogs. He was paying for A number one, as the feller says, and getting meat unfit to eat"
 Battin used the phrase "as the feller says" repeatedly.
 Todays session of the inquest was delayed 20 minutes because Rogers and Kelly, who are free in $2,500 bail each on charge of suspicion of murder, were late.
 In cross-examination, Battin re- iterated he saw Rogers and Kelly sitting on sofa in the living room when the shot that killed Miss Hoey was fired upstairs.
 Rogers, well-groomed, wearing dark suit, followed each word of Battin's testimony. He conferred frequently with his counsel and made notes. His mother, Mrs. Mary Benjamin Rogers, who was with him at last nights session, was not present today.
 Vincent Downing, of New York, legal representative of Miss Hoey's family, sat next to the district att torney and frequently whispered suggested questions.
 George Yamada, Japanese cook, was called as the next witness.
 Yamada, taller than the average oriental and wearing thick-lensed tortoise rim glasses, spoke in a sing-song English that was difficult to understand.
 He testified he came to work at Rogers farm on Sept. but because the kitchen and his living quarters were ESQ dirty" he wanted to- leave after about weeks employment

Providence, R. T., Sept. 20 v (UP)-Joseph A. Sylvia, general organizer of the United Textile workers of Americss charged to- day that the communist party. talk ing advantage of the Wagner-Con- nery collective bargaining law, is organizing independent unions in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut Mills. !,
 The Wagner-Connery law pro: vides that mill-owners negotiate with unions representing 50 per cent of the workers.

 Discussed Plans
 "Only as. recently as Wednesday night a group met in a cottage near Buttonwoods, R. l., and dis cussed plans for the establishment of an independent union for the Wanskuck mill workers. The lea

YOUTH COMES
INTO It's OWN
POLITICALLY

WASHINGTON, Aug. &c. UR) -
The Republican and Democratic
parties-looking forward to the
1896 presidential election made
strong bids today for recruits to
young voters.
President Roosevelts Saturday
night radio address to the Milwau-
kee convention of young Democrat
ic clubs was answered in a similar
broadcast speech last night by Rep.
Bertrand Smell, New York, Repub-
lican floor leader of the house.
Mr.. Roosevelt pleaded with youth
to unite and challenge" remem-
bering that rules are not neces-
sarily sacred-principles are"
Smell, speaking under auspices of
the Republican national committee,
asked young voters to unite in op-
position to any revision of the con-
stitution.
Our economic system is now
challenged as outworn," Smell said.
1--WE are told it has become an OBJ
stacle in the path of national prog
ress, a menace to the welfare Of
our rising generations, We are
asked to cast it aside and substitute
something neW-a planned econ
omy'-devised and offered by the
new deal
The youth of America - th e
young men and the young women
upon whose shoulders will rest the
burden of carrying on our civiliza-
ton tomorrow-are the ones who
must decided the validity of the
challenge. 1t means comparatively
little to the elders of this coun-
try
Smell referred directly to Mr..
Roosevelt's address. He quoted the
President as saying there was need
for a neW economic system because
there are no new frontiers and that
therefore the welfare of generations
to com must be based ION the re-
sourcefuiness of men and women,
applied to the old frontiers"
The whole philosophy and prac-
tice of the new deal repudiates
this" Smell said.

UNCLE WIGGmY's MYSTERY

Uncle Wiggily, who had been out
| in the woods and fields looking for
an adventure, hoped home to his
summer cottage at Green Lake one
day. Before going in, however, the
old rabbit gentleman looked care
lfully all around the place. He
twinkled his pink nose as If smell
ing for danger.
Baby Bunty, who was lying down
| in some deep clover where 1t was
shady, saw Uncle Wiggily looking
around and shifting but he didn't
see the little orphan rabbit.
4 wonder" said Bunty to herself,
why Unkie Wig acts SO funny?
It's as if he didn't want anybody to
see him going in the cottage. And
he has a large box in his paws. l
wonder what it is?"
Bunty. without showing herself,
looked and listened as she lay hid
den in the clover. But she couldn't
see what Uncle Wiggily had in the
large box and she couldn't tell why
he was shifting and she didn't
know why he was going in the cot
tage so slyly, as if he were afraid OF
being seen.
Nobody Home
He can't be playing hide-and-
go-seek," thought Bunty. There's
nobody around except me who
might play the game with him and
he doesn't know I'm here" This
was true. All the rabbit children
were off in the woods or fields or
down at Green Lake playing Nurse
Jane and Mrs. Longears had gone
to the hill to pick blackberries for
a pie. There was no one in the
cottage. Perahps that is what Un-
Gle Wiggily wanted to FIND out.

one saw him the old rabbit gentle

and it makes you feel funny inside
because you can't"
Then it must be something like
a secret that nobody will tell you, "
said Jingle.
Secret Mystery
That's it," said Baby Bunty.
Just now Uncle Wiggily came
home with a secret mystery. He
looked all around before he went in
the cottage, like as if he didn't
want anybody to see him. But 1

him"

yes" said Bunty, 1T is. But,
we ought to find out what the
mystery is. Let's go ask Uncle
Wig. He may tell us"
When the three little bunny girls
hoped into the cottage Uncle Wig
gily was out in the kitchen eating a
lettuce sandwich.
Hello, Uncle Wig!" called Baby
Bunty. Did you bring anything?'
"Why-er-my dear. now-I-er well,
it's a mystery" said Uncle Wiggily
laughing and twinkling his nose.
There! What did 1 tell you'll

you next about Uncle Wiggily's Sec

UNCLE SAN GETS MAD

Sc the reconciliation has proved a flop
The old man with the goatee, who de-
cided nearly two years ago that he could
be friends with the Red Widow has
learned thing or two in that time and
now he is mad about II. A woman
scorned is supposed to be plenty Of fury,
but close behind her is the man of whom
woman has made monkey.
When they kissed and made up two
years ago, Russia and the United States
made mutual promises. after the usual
exchange of fluctuations. Among the
promises made by Russia was that it
would not seek to spread its Communis-
tc doctrines in the United States. and
would halt any activities in its own coun-
try having such purpose as its OBJ
jective.
Yet at the recent convention of the
Communist Internationale. speakers
bluntly and frankly outlined programs
for fostering the work of spreading Com
munism throughout the United States.
Some of them were citizens of Russia,
others were residents of the United
States, if they were not citizens thereof.
Uncle Sam, usually meek and mild
where relations with other nations are
concerned, has showed that he can get
riled by sending a sharp and emphatic
note to Russia, protesting against the
proposed spread of Communism in this
country and in almost as many words in
forms Russia that if these activities are
not stopped Immediately, he will do
something about it-the something being
withdrawal Of our envoy from Russia
and dismissal of the Soviet ambassador
here.
Many of US agreed with the Roosevelt
administration that recognition of Rus
sia would be wise step 1t is time now
to admit that conclusion was not cor
rect. There can be little in common be-
tween the United States and Russia so
long as the Soviet government remains in
control of that country. The entire set
up of the United States and Russia are
at variance.
The United States doctrine upholds the
right of the individual to live his life as
he Wishes so long as he conforms to the
laws of the country and the rights of his
fellow citizen. Soviet Russia says the
citizen is the property of the state and in
all things must do as the state dictates.
The United States of America never has
e and cannot accept such a doctrine and
particularly so when the Russian doc
trine's intent is not limited to Russia.
Russia intends that its doctrine be adopt
ed by all the rest of the world.
We have gained nothing in any field by
our recognition of Russia. We seem to
have gone along we'll enough during the
period of non-recognition. If we return
to that status, the chances are We will
fare as well as ever.

DON'T QUOTE
ME"
By United Press

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. One
piece of advice which congress
never takes is that about never
putting off until tomorrow what
can be done today.
Congress way of doing things is
to put off everything as long as
possible and then wind up the sus-
mess of the session in a half dozen
hectic days before adjournment.
That custom is being observed
this year in spite of a session that
has run nearly eight months.
The constitutional amendment
sponsored by Sen. George Norris
Rep0 Nebraska, to eliminate lame
duck" sessions was supposed to go
far toward ending the customary
last minute rush to do a sessions
business in 70 hours.
1t was also intended to discour-
age filibusters, by getting rid of
any fixed dates for adjournment.
However, congress can't get out
of the old habit, it seems.
FilibuSter threats were invoked
as usual this session as adjourn
meat time approached. Neutrality
legislation advocates got action On
their proposals by this method and
fear of possible filibusters led to
agreements for action on other leg
islation.
Rep. J. r. Mitchell (Dem) Ten
nessee, a bald-headed, red-faced
man, spends most of his time in the
house trying to curb Nepotisn in
the government.
He seldom addresses the house on
any other subject.
So members were surprised when
he rose and launched into an arm
waving speech urging defeat of
bill which would recompense son9
Utah Indians for the use of coal
lands.
They were further surprised as
the speech got going.
Every man, woman and child
here" shouted Mitchell, should
vote against this bill"
The house roared with laughter
Which children?" some members
shouted. Others demanded to know
whose childfen' Mitchell meant.
When the Negro Shrine and Elks
conventions are held here in a few
days, they will be we'll taken care
of.
Congress approved a request of
the Washington police department
for 5000 for extra police forces.
1t also provided $4,000 extra for the
fire department, $500 for the traf-
fic department and $4,000 for the
sewer department.
