ALL ENGLAND
MOURNS FOR
NOTED HERO

WOOL, England, May 20 G9 -
Lawrence of Arabia, one of those
figures whom fate plucks from the
crowd of their fellow men 10 make
history, lay a shattered corpse in
the small chapel of Wool Military
hospital today.
AS an archaeological student OF
26 years. it fell to him to organize
the unruly Arab tribes against
Turkey in the world war, and VII
for Great Britain and its allies a
great area of the near East.
He died yesterday after being
unconscious six days from injuries
he suffered when, racing a motor
cycle along country road. he
swerved TO avoid killing tvs bicy-
cling boys.
There was widespread mourning
for him throughout England. He
was remembered as Col. T. E.
Lawrence, his original name. AS
T. E. Shaw, disdaining the prof
fered rewards of the government
for his services, he enlisted as a
mechanic in the Royal Air Force.
The best surgeons the govern
ment could provide did all they
could to save him. For six days
they hoped his super constitution,
in a short, slim frame, might save
him.
In keeping with Lawrences re-
tiring disposition, it was decided
there should be no military display
and that only few intimate
friends should attend the funeral
1t was announced that even had
he lived, so severely was his brain
lacerated, he could have regained
only partial use Of speech and
sight.
Lawrence began sinking Satur-
day night, after lung congestion
had developed.

SINCLAIR To

EPIC PARTY
Thwarts Efforts To Align His
Brainchild With Assertedly
Communistic Group

LOS ANGELES. May 20. W.H -
Upton Sinclair embarked upon a
program to 'nationalize" his lend
poverty" movement today after
thwarting efforts to railroad his
political brain child into a coali-
ton with an assertedly Commun-
istic united 'front.'
Sinclair stemmed a tide of in
surgent pickering at the closing
session of the first convention of
Epic followers and showed under
demands for consolidation of lib
erals and radicals" by calling upon
his audience to be good children"
while he delivered a radio address
in which he requested President
Roosevelt to put the Epic ''produc-
ton for use" principles to work.
The gray-haired former Socialist
who ran losing race for governor
of California last year under the
Democratic standard, then told his
followers he planned to tour the
United States soon to organize Epic
groups with the idea of control
ling the Democratic party in 1886
Sinclair dominated the conven-
ton with his "one man" rule. but
insurgents managed to create a
demonstration that erupted into
violence when newspaper photo
grapher attempted to take a pic
ture of an Epic news" hawker be-
ing evicted from the balcony.
The Epic leader, who repeatedly
has threatened to start recall pro-
ceedingS against Governor Frank
Merriam, swung q big stick over
the delegates after they passed a
resolution calling for Merriam's i'm
peachment and got them to rescind
their action.
We'll wait until he proves him
self by securing passage of taxes
oppressive to the poor" Sinclair
said.
He indicated Sheridan Downey,
who received more than million
votes for lieutenant-governor as
Sinclair's running mate in last
falls election, will be nominated as
a recall candidate to succeed the
present Republican governor.
The gray-haired politico-author
