since the union-hotel deadlock de-

has arisen in radio-the Mutual

stations. WGN has been feeding a
number of ace bands from Chicago.
And although WOR couldn't, at the

G.N.SO.-Andre Spada, "last of

death under the guillotine's blade
here this morning.
Killer, robber. and notorious
heart-breaker, Spada placed his
head on the block with a con.

"I'm going straight to para

Spada accepted stoically the law
he had sought to enforce in his
engeful career-a life for life.
Awakened at 3:15 by the Advo-
cate Generals quiet: "Spada,
your last hour has come; have
courage" Spada said:
Don't worry. / have plenty
Of courage. I'm not afraid of

He dressed himself, particularly
insisting on wearing his new
brown shoes.
Rejecting the traditional glass
of rum and cigaret, he walked
stiffly and without aid towards
the scaffold ahead of his guards.

RICHMOND. Va, June 81.
Earl Conner Williams, colored, 70,
who has confessed to the murder
of Fannie Kurz in Lovers Lane"
of Battlefield National Park, near
Fredericksburg, Va, 10 months
ago, was secretly returned here
today by Federal authorities, fol-
lowing an equally secret visit to
the battlefield where the crime
vas committed.
williams, who confessed the
murder to Department of Justice
agents, will be tried for murder
in Federal court here, according
to present plans, because the at
tack took place on Government
property.
Mob Violence Feared
Due to high feeling over the
brutal attack on Miss Kurz ana
her escort, George Milton Brown
great secrecy has surrounded the
movement. of the confessed slayer
for fear of mob violence.
Announcement of the confession
was made in Washington last
night by J. Edgar Hoover, director
of the Bureau of Investigation OF
the Department of Justice. 1t was
stated that the arrest was made
about month ago in 1uka, Miss,
by a deputy sheriff who noticed
the man resembled the descr1p-
ton sent out on Department OF
Justice circulars. The deputy. c.
L. Pace, notified the department,
and agents rushed to the town
, and grilled the suspect, who
finally broke down and admitted
the attack.

It was learned that Williams
first stated that he was accom-
panied by Joe Jackson, the colored
man convicted in the we'll Staying
and now on appeal from the death
sentence.
Later, it was learned, he i'm
plicated Lightning Wright, an
other Fredericksburg colored man
who is now serving 20 years in

these men regarding any connec-
ton with the case.
The arrest of Williams came
on the slimmest of evidence.
Since the attack was made on
Government property the Depart
ment of Justice was called in.
Mr.. Brown was unconscious for
several days after the attack and
was unable to give any descrip-
ton of the assailant.

PRESIDENTS SEES
SON LOSE RACE

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June 81
G.N.SO.-Yale's freshman and
junior varsity crews swept to vic
tory over Harvard today.
Half a mile from home, the
Harvard boat shot alongside the
Yale shell, going strong. A 100
yards from the finish, No. S in
the Yale boat caught crab, but
quickly recovered, pulled himself
together, and just lasted to win
by six feet.
In the freshman race, Yale's
youngsters, stroked by Dick Davies,
of New York, came on with a
dying rush in the last IS yards
to nip a Harvard eight which had
led all the way, by three feet.
Yale's junior varsity stood off
a gallant challenge of the Har.
ward boat to win by six feet.
Official times of the two races
were: Yale freshmen, 9:46; Har.
ward freshmen, 9:46 rs; Yale
JayVee, 900; harvard JayVee,
9.56 Is.
President Roosevelt followed
both races from the deck of the
referees boat. He saw his son
and namesake, Franklin, jr., pull
a great No. oar in the Harvard
Jayvee boat.
In this race, Yale swept into
an early lead and increased it
under slow beat to almost a
length at the mile. Here, the
Harvard crew, stroked by Bob
Cutler, of Charles River, Mass,
began to put on the pressure and
the crimson-tipped oars began to
cut down the gap of open water
between them and the Yale shell.

Bureaus; Cites Suspicious
International News Service

Secretary of Commerce Daniel
c. Roper, appearing before the
Senate Commerce Committee to-
day, declared charges of corrup-
ton and graft within his depart
ment, made by Ewing Y. Mitch
ell, were based chiefly on rumors
and suspicious.
Secretary Roper took the stand
after Mitchell, who was dismissed
from his post as Assistant Sec
rotary of Commerce last Satur-
day, concluded his testimony.
Secretary Roper said Mitchell
had persistently refused even to
attempt to cooperate with bureau
and subbureau chiefs in the De
partment of Commerce. He was
given every opportunity to pre-
sent his charges to proper inves-
tigating bodies, including the De
partment Of Justice, Secretary
Roper added.
Not Outside Pressure
But Mitchel's answer to the
offers of cooperation. the Com
merce Secretary went on, was
continued delay and inefficiency
Mr.. Roper denied he had been
responsive to outside pressure, as
charged by Mitchell. He de.
Tended the men who worked
under and with Mitchell. He
said:
Gas Secretary of Commerce, I

poisoning were reported. None Of
the women is seriously i'll,
physicians said.
The first case of food poison
ing was reported at 4 a. m. to-
day. From that time on the uni
versity infirmary was crowded
with women patients, most of
whom are living on the college
campus. Nurses and physicians
were Immediately pressed into
service, and every available room
in the university was used to care
for the patients.
University authorities suspected
the poisoning was caused by
either chicken, chocolate milk or
orange ice, all of which formed
part of the menu. DR.. Raymond
A. Pearson, president of the uni
versity, announced the food would
be sent to authorities of the United
States Public Health Service for
analysis.
The women attending the sum-
mer session are from all parts of
Maryland. The one-week session
in home economics, sewing and
farm problems is sponsored each
year by the University of Mary
land.
Many of the women taken ill by
the poisoned food were to have
been graduated today from their
course, which extended over a pc
Rod of four summers. The gradu-
alton exercises were held, never
theless, with DR.. Pearson presid-
ing and DR.. Joseph M. M. Gray,
chancellor of the American Uni
verSity, making the principal ad-
dress.
More than 60 of the women
were given their certificates.

Speed Crusade
Makes JurieS
Scarce

The Traffic Bureaus crusade
against speeders is making it
difficult to obtain juries in
Traffic Court, it was revealed
today.
When the case of Luther E.
Cline, charged with third-of.
tense speeding, was called for
jury trial before Judge Isaac
r. Hit, six prospective jurors
were excused when they admit
ted they had been arrested
themselves for speeding.
Because of the limited jury
panel in Police Court, there
were not sufficient other jurors
to fill the box, and it appeared
the trial would have to be post
poned. BY mutual consent of
opposing counsel, however, the
case finally went to trial with
an abbreviated jury of II mem
bers. A verdict is expected late

"The other bad effect Of
this miSmanagement is not
at all technical. 1t is the
burden Of high cost on the
backs of all our people.

best by quoting one para
graph from a document pub
lished a week ago and signed
by both Alfred E. Smith and
Calvin Coolidge:
"'AlI the costs of local,
State and national govern
ments must be reduced with.
out fear and without favor.
Unless the people, through
unified action, arise and
take charge of their govern
ment, they will find that their
government will take charge
of them. Independence and
liberty will be gone and the
general public will find itself
in q nditiOn of servitude

lied and selfish minOrities.'

out, however, that the man has
not been at work for the past
month.
