1t had been expected that Am.

However, denials have come
from every official source that
Mr.. Bowers would be appointed
to a Government post.
On the other hand, it is learned
that the strongest possibility Is in
the proposal that Mr.. Bowers
would go into the Democratic
National Committee or into some

which he can bolster UP and co.

Hint. Lack Of Funds
In other words, the Democratic

they will be overcome by sheer

Mrs. Creighton told Littleton she

of her brother. in spite of her
acquittal. but deLied guilt in her

him she had decided to poison
Mrs. Applegate after learning the
latter was responsible for circula-
ton of rumors concerning the al.
legged relations between Applegate
and Ruth.
Mrs. Creighton, according to her
confession, learned of Applegate's
alleged relations with her daugh-
ter when the three of them took
an automobile ride on June %
last. She said she told Applegate
she was going to tell her husband
Of the affair. but had not done so
because of Applegate's threats.
Shortly afterward, she told the
District Attorney, she began to
feel fearful concerning the con-
sequences of the "rumors" and
also her daughters condition.
She was quoted as saying:

foolish thing"
She related how on September
II or IL she did not remember
the exact date, she went to a
drug store in Baldwin, L. l., and
purchased a rat poison contain

She then began administering
the poison to Mrs. Applegate in
series of doses which she
mixed from time to time in cof-
fee, milk and tea, she is re-
ported to have said.
After making her confession to
the district attorney, Mrs. Creigh-
ton was arraigned before Police
Judge George S. johnson on a
charge f first-degree murder and
locked up to await the action of
the grand jury. She was calm
and appeared utterly unconcerned

forts at compromise by special
committees of the League and by
leading powers acting independ-
ent of the League were likewise
futile.
War began last week.
Then, on Monday the Council OF
the League took the drastic, ulti-
mate step which it never before
has taken even in a dispute of
weak powers-it invoked Articles
XII and XVI of the League Cove
nant, fixing the blame for the war
on the Italian government and i'm
posing penalties. 1t in effect called
the Italian government an outlaw
among nations and called on the
League membership of the world
to treat that government as an
outlaw through economic and
financial sanctions. The way is
open for possible military action

his home, 1859 E st. N. E., early
today, little dreaming that bur

But an open window proved too
much of a temptation to some
light-fingered gent, who made his

HOME,
INN BURNED

NORTH BEACH, Md, Oct. 9.
All available fire apparatus in
this vicinity was called out early
this morning to fight q blaze
which swept the home Of Mrs. r.
L. Baer and the Cleveland Inn,
which was closed for the winter
season.
The Baer home and the inn
were virtually destroyed. The fire
broke out at $3.50 a. m. Mrs. Baer
is under the care Of a physician
for painful burns.
The blaze spread to the home
of Mrs. Mary Schulz, whose Wash
ington address is 116 MaSSachu.
setts Ave. N. w.
Quick work by the North
Beach Volunteer Fire Depart
ment prevented further spread of
the fire, which was first reported
to have destroyed half of the resi-
dences in this summer resort.
Firemen from Marlboro, Gales
vile and Annapolis responded to
alarms. Two engine companies
from washington were on their
way here but were stopped at
Marlboro when it became appar-
ent that the blaze was under con-
troll.
Local fire fighters were aided
by Frank Helmuth. former cap
tain of No. 2 Engine Company in
washington and now a resident
of the resort.
AS the flames spread from the
Cleveland Inn, they jumped to the
house occupied by Thomas Cook
on Second Street, but Mr.. COOK
managed to escape from his blaz-
ing room, which was badly dam
aged.
Residents of the town were
warm in their praise of B. G.
Loveless, chief of the North Beach
Volunteer Fire Department, and
members of his company who re-
sponded to the alarm.
AS other companies arrived,
Chief Loveless directed them to
the part they were to take in
checking the spread of the fire.
Townspeople said it was through
his efforts that the town was
saved.

mass of conflicting, uncomfortable
reports and a dearth of definite,
reliable news from the front char
acterized the Italo- ethiopian war
dispatches received in London to-
day.
Evidence of the scarcity of first
hand war news was the fact that
Floyd Gibbons, crack war reporter
for international News Service,
has been unable to get any news
to London headquarters from the
Italian front since Sunday night,
when he filed dispatch on the
fall of Aduwa.
Official news from Rome was
equally light. A communique is
sued today was based on yester.
days activities, which the govern
ment said were slight. Apparently
the Italians were merely con-
solidating their positions and

the Ethiopian territory ahead,
awaiting new orders before con-
tinuing an advance.
News from Adds Ababa was
severely censored. but even before
the censorship was imposed the
government had admitted it had
only very poor communication
with the various fronts.
In the face of these facts,
rumors and unverified reports
flew thick and fast. London re-
ceived them all, in one form or
another.
In view of the official Ethiopian
claim that Ethiopian forces so far
have been evacuating border cities
to draw the invaders we'll inland,
it was apparent there has been no
big conflict to date. AL fighting
has been confined to skirmiShing
with small bands of EthiopianS,

The possible steps in bringing

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WORK WHICH NEEDS TO BE DONE

Tbere is something significant and extremely as
;oting in the drastic action several midwest wheat
orou;r, states have found it necessary TO take III
order To secure workers for the harvest.
Thousands of unemployed men on the relief rolls

If "help' for the wheat harvest
Then the harvest was ready, and the farmers sent
out their call.
Rut the number of those who responded, who
were willing to give up the dole and go to work
proved painfully inadequate. ..
It was desperate situation.
Nineteen thousand idle men in South Dakota, to.
mention one of these states, wouldn't go to work
when jobs were offered. ..
But now the edict has gone forth in Kansas, Ne

the farmers need help For the harvest there Will be
no DIaces on the relief rolls for who are able
to work.
The situation carries its own lesson
Our relief system seems to be creating large
clas sof able-bodied non-workers
1t is good deal more comfortable to live on
the public relief than to work in hot harvest field
for daily wage. ..
But it is gross imposition upon the rest OF u.s.
And so the states have decreed, with the approval
of the State Emergency Administration, that every
man who refuses job shall be summarily dropped
from relief. .'...
That is as it should be.
The idea of doing out food AND rair0ent without
any return in work or service is all wrong.
He who will not work should not eat.
The situation in the wheat states seems to DEM
onstrate plainly that we the way to creating
a class of men who will not work if they can get
themselves fed by any other means.
And the whole country is suffering from this I'M
fortunate condition.
The drastic action which has been taken in these

sary.

to be done-and we certainly know there is much

THE ROAD TO EQUALITY

The ''soak the rich" program is 80 per cent
soak the brains program. While there are numbers
of rich and wellto-do scoundres, the scoundre ee-
ment is about as common in one class of people as
another No sensible man trusts another merely be-
cause he is rich or merely because he is poor.
Say what you please to the contrary, ability to
make money and keep it is generally proof Of
ability
When the people form company and build
factory they choose man to manage it because
they think he knows how to make it pay. So they
pay him good salary, and next thing one knows
he is the rich man of the town.
In nine of ten cases he is honest and in nine OF
ten cases when the manager is not honest he goes
broke.
Not always but generally the money-makers have
exceptional character, force, sometimes genius.

NO APOLOGY

The German press is calling upon the United
States to apologize for the recent indgnites visit
ed upon the Nazi emblem in New York harbor by
alleged Communists. AS self-sppointed spokesman
for the American press, We beg leave to instruct
the German press to go split an infnitive. Well
not apologize, and if German journalism desires us
to pursue the matter We'll write very sarcastic
and embittered piece about 'em. These were not
our Communists ..-. r.;
Once upon time, not proudly, we laid claim
to somewhat similar breed. The l. w. W., they
were, and quite American in a distorted kind of
way. But Communism, and Naziisn, and Fascism
are not of our creation. They were spawned in
European discomfort. Communism now claims the
whole wide world as its home. Because, forsooth,
1t merely happens to pick New York as place in
which to paste the Nazis in the eye is no reason
why Americans should be covered with confusion.
We don't Hike the Communists and we don't like
the Nazis, and anything they do to each other is
perfectly all right with Charlotte News.
