ACCUSED WOMAN
VERY DEFIANT

Chicago, Aug. Is (UP) "A
fetching blonde who wrote intimate
letters to Kenneth A. Morrison,
murdered assistant comptroller OF
the Chicago Park district, and her
estranged, but jealous, husband
parted a barrage OF police ques-
tioning today with smiling def
ance. Mrs. Madge Watson, 30, was
seized at the home of her hus-
bands parents in Danville. ILL.,, af-
ter being identified as the author
of six Dearest Ken" letters
found among effects of the mystic
riously slain man. She was en-
ployed in Morrison's office until
gossip of their relationship forced
her dismissal several weeks ago,
police said. Her husband, Kenneth,
2S, a laundry worker, convinced in
vestigators he was asleep in his ho-
tel the night of the crime.
.sIf l thought my wife was going
wrong, I'd kill her, not the man."

speaking of his wife, he blurted
out: 81 tried not to be jealous of

NAVAL SESSION
HAS BEEN ASKED

London, Aug. 16-(UP)-Great
Britain, in a formal note to the
United States, Japan, France and
Italy, today proposed an informal
naval conference during October.
preliminary to formal naval lirn-
itation conference.
The Washington and London
naval limitation treaties expire De-
cember 81, 1886. The Washington
treaty limits capital ships-battle-
ships, aircraft carriers and battle
cruisers-and the London treaty
limits auxiliaries - cruisers and
lesser craft. France and Italy are
not signatories to the London
treaty as they could not agree on
their own relative strength in aux
iliaries. Prospect for renewal Of
the treaties has been poor because
of Japan's demand for absolute
equality with the United States and
Great Britain.
Britain, anxious to protect its
own position in Europe, has made
separate two-nation agreement
with Germany as to their relative
naval strength. Germany, limited
lin theory-by the Versailles
treaty as to naval strength, is not
signatory to existing treaties.
Britain proposed then to hold con-
ferences with France and Italy.

MRS. FALL TAKES
HUSBANDS PART

Three Rivers, N. NJ, Aug. 16-
(U.P Mrs. Albert B. Fall, gray
haired wife of the former secretary
of the interior, took the offensive
in their fight against eviction from
their Tres Ritos ranch home to-
day. While the former cabinet Off
cial was bed-ridden by illness at
the ranch, where they had lived for
35 years, Mrs. Fall was in Ell Paso,
Tex, making plans for staying an
eviction order. She was expected to
return home to-day.

answer to the eviction order. The
Petroleum Securities Corporation,
Los Angeles, headed by Edward L.
Doheny, Falls friend, acquired the
property through foreclosure ac-
ton. The firm sold the ranch and
asked the Falls to move so the new
owner could take possession. Fall
was sentenced to year and a day
in prison allegedly accepting a
bride from Doheny in connection
with the Teapot Dome oil lease
scandal in the Harding administra-
tien. Fall said he had borrowed the
money from Doheny to finance the

national prejudice in forbidding
use of Nazi decorations but feared
a panti-Nazi demonstration might
endanger safety of guests and
property. New York has been the

All Washed Up

The weekend, as far as the republican side of the fence is concerned, brought no additional impetus of any consequence to the coming city election other than the continued funny stories that are running daily in the Leavenworth street papers. On the contrary reports of democra- tic activities at the various meetings and gatherings point to more than exceptional interest.
 If the inane and puerile scribblings ap- bearing now in the republican party's two mouth organs can be taken as any criterion of the spirit in the republican camp, it has fallen to about the lowest ebb it possibly could with the election yet two weeks off. Even the better element of republicans themselves must have nothing but disgust for the weak efforts of the so-called bull wark of Leavenworth street.
 From the very outset, ever since the Pape papers injected themselves into the election campaign and that was as far back as mid-winter it has been foregone con- clusion that the republican party would not get anywhere along those lines That the majority of republicans realized it is only too evident by the makeup of the ticket. Even the personally-interested papers themselves must have realized that much from the manner in which they have tried to fan the dying hopes of the demo- cratic insurrectos.
 The American and Republicans efforts to overturn democratic party in demo- cratic city is pitiful attempt of an or- ganization which so openly boasts of it's superiority in everything else. However, if this demonstration, as we said before, is a final evidence of it's pulling power, politically, it's hard to understand what's the matter with the ninety weight out of every one-hundred English speaking peo- ple." who. it is claimed, read these papers.

An Old Colonial Town

It isn't often that the birthday celebra- tion of a town of 1000 inhabitants be- comes a national event. But when the people of Concord, Mass, got together the other day to mark their towns 300th anniversary, the occasion was something for all America to notice. In that fact there is neat little object lesson about the things that make city great
 Concord is a little place, and sleepy one, as New England towns go, attractive with it's colonial houses, it's trees, and it's general air of having come through the Revolution only day before yesterday. It is like dozen other Massachusetts towns and yet, at the same time, utterly unlike them. It has strange and distinguished history. Its fame is not due merely to the accident of war.
 To be sure, the Revolution did get un- der way there. Those farmers who formed at the end of bridge and found out that homespun Americans could stand up against British regulars started some thing that hasn't ended yet, and put great day in the annals of their nation; yet it was not solely on their account that Concord's tercentenary was national event.
 Concord is worth remembering because it is living proof that it is neither com merce, finance, nor industry that makes city great, but the moral and intellectual caliber of it's people. In Concord lived Emerson Thoreau, Hawthorne - and they made the little country town, for time, the intellectual capital of the United States. Europeans knew the town as source of clear, enlightened thinking center for steadfast devotion to that moral and spiritual freedom which was Americas greatest contribution to the world.
 Now Concord came to it's fame at the very time when America was at it's bus lest in the great task of expansion and physical development. The railroad era was just beginning, the winning of the west was just starting, the whole tremend- ous job of clearing continent and found- ing a civilization upon it was taking all the energy and intelligence that the nation could supply. Concord shared in none of this. It remained aloof, like Thoreau at Walden pond, and saw to it that the new nations mind and spirit developed along with it's powerful lusty body
 It has always been our tendency to wor- ship bigness. Concord ought to be re- hinder that bigness and greatness do not necessarily go together. Judged by any material standard, Concord is just another small town. Yet it's name is one of the most important in the history of tbe republic
