 Suicide, detectives said, was out of the question. No pistol was found and no man, expert medical opinion assured them, could have fired the second shot into himself after firing the first.
 Ruth Cronin, 20, in charge of the Book Cadillac package room, could recall nothing about the woman who checked Dickinson's brief case, except that she was nervous. Miss Cronin was experiencing a rush" at the time and was giving each customer only casual glance. She connected the brief case with the woman because, tn her haste, she put the check tag on it improperly and put 1t to one side to correct her error when the rush, was over.
 Gold Watch Untouched Another circumstance descredit- ing the robbery theory was the fact that DickinS0n's expensive gold watch was found beside his body in a position indicating 1t had not slipped from his pocket but was laid there by his murder CT.
 The body was unidentified in the Detroit morgue for hours. Ser ial numbers in the expensive shoes were checked against the records of a New York merchant, establishing Dickinson's identity.

 Chinese and Koreans in plain clothes seized an armored train at Fengtai, 12 miles south of the city, and advanced to the capital where they fought police and soldiers of the Peiping garrison. Repulsed, they returned again and again un- til at II a. m. they retreated with the train to Fengtai.
 - Sent fin Pursuit
 Soldiers of the 32nd Army Caval- ry and the 53d Infantry were sent to pursue them. Some of those on the train deserted 1t south of Fengtai but Chinese authorities said that the rebels still held it.
 Anxious to end the threat of
 trouble as soon as possible, the Chinese military council sent three
 regiments to surround Fengtai and carry the train and any defenders
 by storm if necessary.
 Officials were fearful lest the insurgents had allies in the capi- tai and they suspected that an ap- apparently premature burst of eIlOlb lEOtii ttic U Aoih WASh ~ A%@c~ approached the city gates was a signal for revolt. which miscarried.

 Attorney In Yawkey Estate
 He and his cousin Hughes, Jr,. were attorneys for the huge estate of the late William Fl. Yawkcy, Multi Millionaire lumberman. Ar thur Carmichael, Detroit attorney, filed q $40,000,000 claim against the estate in behalf of his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Carmichael Wither- spoon, claiming she was Yawkey's daughter. As a baby she had been given to the Carmichaels for adop- ton, the claim said, and she did not learn of her percentage until after Yawkey's death.
 Dickonson had made several trips to Detroit in connection with this claim. Last week he notified Carmichael he would arrive here Tuesday. Monday morning he left his Tarrytown, N. Y., home, and, arriving here, registered at the Book Cadillac. Carrying his laden brief case, set about his business.
 Wednesday he telegraphed his wife in Tarrytown, saying among other things that he was carrying a large sum of money. He habit tually carried considerable sums, as do many men of considerable means. What was in his mind when he added that information to his telegram? Detectives asked. Ii was another of the mysterious cir cumstances with which the case abounded.
 Before Disappearance Wednesday afternoon he con ferred with Attorney George Kra- pfel, his Detroit associate. He was in his usual excellent spirits. Kra- pfel drove him to his hotel and on the way they stopped at photo graphers' shop where Dickinson left some films of his family to be developed. At 4:30 p. m. the car stopped at the hotel, Dickinson got out, told Krapfel he would see him at 9:30 Thursday morning, and waved farewell.
 Police next picked up his move ments at 7:30 p. m. when he ap- peared in the hotels cocktail bar He had one cocktail. then dined in the hotels dining room, all the while urging his waiter to hasten and giving every indication of a man pressed for time. At s:S0 D. m. a maid entered his room and found him stretched across his bed. At 9:30 p. m. she saw him leave him room, carrying his top. coat over his arm. That was the last time he was seen alive.

SEVEN PLANTS
 ARE STYLE IDLE

Boston, June 2s-(UP) - The strike of 3400 operatives of the seven plants of the Uxbridge Wor- sted company remained deadiocked today. Neither the United Textile Workers of America nor company officials would recede Q step from their respective stands. Governor Theodore Francis Green of Rhode Island today was expected to call a second mediation conference. A previous meeting between union officials and company executives failed when the plant management refused to cooperate. Tho strike was called Monday to enforce de- mands that included 15 per cent general pay increase, machine-load reduction and elimination of the third shift.

were earlier in he field Anti-gas measures and
drill are becoming part of the normal life of
citizens in Germany, France, Italy and the
urban centers of the U. S. S. R. Pie manu-
facture of gas masks is developing as COM
petitive business, with enterprising rival
manufacturers displaying their wares in
booths at the Milan Industrial Fair.
The average Britisher had tended to regard
these sensational happenings as none of his
business, or as just another form of European
war preparedness propaganda. His govern
ment did not care to disturb his equanimity
until it had to, because otherwise it might
have played into the hands of the Left opposi-
tion, which claims to have much the same
formula for bringing about universal peace as
Huey Long claims to have for bringing
about the American millennium.
Officially the government treated gas as
something too nasty to be publicly discussed;
or it referred to it as an ungentlemanly mode
of killing which had an unfortunate vogue in
the late war, but would never be heard of
again, because it had been officially banned by
the Geneva Gas Protocol of 1925. But now
realities have caught up with the exigencies OF
national politics. and the illusion has been
suddenly and rudely dispelled. Gas, like the
big gun, exists. 1t cannot be blah-blahed
away.
Evening star., 1935-09-08

The line of thought back of gas is as simple
and direct as the line of thought back of war
itself. The business of your war technician is
to devise superior methods of killing, so that
the army commander can shortly report to
his home government that the enemy is now
out of action; and what next? The elaborate
forms which modern weapons have taken -
bombing aircraft, long-range guns, high
velocity rifles, submarines, tanks and the like
- only mask the equally elaborate simplicity
of their fundamental purpose, which is to
rend the human envelope of flesh and bone
in order to reach and destroy the vital mech
anism within.
Why, then, 60 to the trouble and expense
OF providing these huge, complex and cum
bersome mechanisms if vital part of the
human machine can be reached and disabled
without the necessity for piercing the protec-
tive covering of flesh and bone, or blasting
the whole man to bits2
The thought, obviously tempting to the
war technician, is not new. Indeed, the notion
that there is something wicked about gas but
honorable about sharp steel is an invention of
muddle- headed moralists, encouraged by war
nors and others whose professional vested
interest is menaced by weapon which can
be used in war by any little skinny, unframed
and undisciplined, bespectacled chemist. The

SpdrtanS USED sulphur gas at the siege of
Plataa 400 years before Christ and the same
gas would have been used by the God-fearing
British to smoke the Russians out of Sebas-
topol during the Crimean war in the middle
of last century if General Lord Dmdonald
had had his way (his memorandum on the
subject is on recordD.
In fact, the relatively tardy appearance of
the Fourth Weapon is due first to mans
inadequate knowledge of how to make prac-
tical lethal gas and use it in war, and second
to the relative backwardness of the industrial
nations in harnessing chemistry to the bread
and-butter life of the machine age.
Up to the Great War the Germans were the
worlds leading chemists Hence it is not sur
prising to find them taking the initiative in the
application of gas to warfare. The blunder
they made was professional military, not
chemical blunder. The new weapon was used
prenlaturely. The German gas was crude
greenish-yellow chlorine, made by passing an
electric current through brine. The defense
against it was comparatively easy. All that
happened was minor surprise, and the pre-
mature disclosure of the all-important psyche
logical secret that the German leaders would
not hesitate to use poison gas if they thought
it would help to win the war for them
Today every industrial nation has its own
jealously fostered chemical industry Few out
side the research heads of the great chemical
plants and the chiefs of the various national
gas experimental stations know just what
new and deadly gases exist which measure
up to the practical war needs. But last year
the German "Tabulae Bilogicae Periodicae"
printed list Of sixty-two the toxic actions of
which had been scientifically studied. This
list certainly did not include the newest and
most potent secret gases developed in the
experimental stations maintained by war
departments and the research laboratories of
Du Pont de Nemours, Imperial Chemical
Industries. the l. G. Farbenindustrie and the
other giant heavy chemical combines.
The military manuals recognize four
separate groups of war gases now. They are
vesicants, lung irritants, sensory irritants and
lachrymators, more commonly known as
blister gas, nose gas, choking gas, and tear
gas. There is a fifth group: the paralysants.
This latter group covers the polsons which
act directly on the nervous system and kill
in minute or two. But as they have to be
very concentrated to do their job, their use is
considered improbable in any war of the
near future.
Most of the gases in the next-war picture
are effective in low concentrations. Phosgene.

twe of Is parts in million parts Of air, and
disabling in much lower concentrations. The
choking gases reach the lungs, infame the
deeper respiratory passages and kill by
causing acute pulmonary oedema and as
phyxia.
Tear gas is out of favor with some military
experts because it only disables. 1t affects the

the Civilization of the Economic Empires,
was perhaps, the near extinction by gas of the
population of New York. 1t was the worlds
richest city, human ant nest occupied by
seven millions.
"At this distance of time, and with our
incomplete records it is difficult to recon-
struct this giant tragedy in detail. We know
that the authorities reposed misplaced conf
dence in the height of SO many of their build
ings. not realizing that gas would be sprayed
down in fine rain, and that the gas bombs
would be reserved to contaminate specific
areas of the city. Nor, it appears. did the
people fully appreciate that the attack would
come in waves, the first wave of airplanes
dropping high-explosive bombs to destroy
communications, gas containers, electric
cables and gas mains; the second wave fol-
lowing with incendiary bombs, and the third
and largest wave bringing a flood of poison
gas.
The first groups of poison-gas machines
dropped so-called nose gas, which penetrated
gas masks and chambers not fitted with

the eyes. They snatched off their masks in
their agony. and so fell easy victims to the
lethal vapor gas, of the type termed blister

the time, which was sprayed and bombed

fleet.

Thus may historian of the future dis
