HOME CONDITIONS
 FACTOR IN CRIME
Large Percentage of Sing Sings Inmates Handi-
 capped at Start

Ninety per cent of the unfortu- nate inmates of Sing Sing prison who are serving life sentences range from the ages of IT to 25 and in most instances surroundings in their homes were the causes of their re- spective acts," stated Rev. John Gilligan in his sermon last evening the third of the mission discourses being conducted nightly for men at the church of the Immaculate Con- ception.
 Father Gilligan stated the nearest thing he witnessed to Our Lords agony in the garden happened at the Ossining. N.. Y., institution some years back when he had the pleasure of being one of the two Domonicall fathers assigned to the annual weeks mission at the penitentiary.
 Faced Execution
 An Occidental and his wife were sentenced to die in the electric chair for the murder of their employer. Two days before Holy Thursday the accused pair, whose attorneys were regarded as the best lawyers in the country, were notified their last chance of freedom was lost and the day and time of their execution set.
 The hours whizzed by and the ac- cused husband was taken to 8 cell from where he could see the doors of the execution chamber. For over a half hour before he was to be led to the death chair priests and peni- tentiary attendants could not make his talk. His eyes were targeted on the doors of the chamber.
 Devoted Wife
 An official of the institution en- tered his cell at the moment and as- serted his death sentence had been changed to life Imprisonment. The overjoyed Occidental then began to talk and told the Dominican fathers that in his alleged stupor before being obliged to walk into the cham Der the only thing that came to his mind was his devoted wife who was slated to pay with her life for the deed he was responsible for in I,ak- ing her an accomplice.
 Father Gilligan urged all fathers to make their home surroundings what they should be, for he added, children follow the example more of their fathers than they do their mothers, for their mothers are with them throughout the day, while fathers are seldom with them.
 Benediction followed the sermon and congregational singing was evil dent. Preceding the nightly serv- ices at 7:SO o'clock the Rosary is said. Masses tomorrow morning will be at 5:30 and 7 o'clock. The mis-

 Informed that Chief Yates had threatened to keep him out of Terre Haute, Browder came here after appealing to President Roosevelt and Governor Paul V. McNutt for protection.
 Browder quoted Yates as saying: '"Tell him (Browder) that he needn't bother coming to Terre Haute be- cause I will not allow him to get off the train"
 The communist candidate tele- graphed President Roosevelt last night as follows:
 T am informed by chief of police of Gary that Police Chief Yates of Terre Haute, Indiana, threatens publicly to prevent by force my address to election campaign audi ence scheduled for September 30.

 Birdsey F. Norton, father of Miss Elizabeth of Norton, another of the passengers who was killed, will ap- pear in probate court in Cheshire tomorrow and ask to be named ad- ministrator of his daughters estate. He can proceed toward settlement of the claim only with the approval of Probate Judge James R. Lanyon, with whom a motion to be named administrator has already been filed.
 Similar procedure is expected to be followed by Frank Galor, hus- band of Mrs. Doris Galor, another of the crash victims.
 Name Administrators
 Appointment of an administra. tor for the estate of Charles Brue- sche, the fifth victim of the crash, rests with probate court in New Haven, for Bruesche was a resident of the Elm City.
 Passengers in the bust at the time of the accident report that they have been approached by inc surance adjusters. No settlements have yet been agreed on, as far as can be learned.

 "We do not want radicals stop ping here. We've had our share of labor troubles from such agi- tators."
 Terre Haute was scene of a gen. eral strike in July, 1855, during which Governor Paul V. McNutt ordered the National Guard.
 T have the solid support of bus mess men and others in Terre Haute, and neither Browder nor any of his co-workers will speak here tonight" Yates said.
 The chief said he would keep the communist presidential candidate in jail until tomorrow at least.

very day of March {, 1883. x < The previous national administra- ton, bewildered, did nothing. Tn their speeches, they deplored 1t, but by their actions they encouraged it. The injusticeS, the inequalities, the downright suffering out of which revolutions come what did they do about these things? Lacking courage, they evaded. Being selfish, they neglected. Being short-sighted, they ignored"
 The chief republican faults, he argued, were weak leadership and an inability to understand the req sons for social unrest.
 "It is for that reason that our American form of government will continue to be safest in democratic hands," he said. "Tae real, actual, undercover republican leadership is the same as 1t was four years ago. That leadership will never compre- bend the need for 8 program of social justice and of regard for the well-being of the masses of our people,"
 Refers to Rival(?)
 MT. Roosevelt seemed to many in the audience to be referring directly to his rival, Governor Ali E1. Lan- don, republican presidential nom- inee, in the following passages:
 Let me warn you and let me warn the nation against the smooth evasion which says, of course, we believe all these things. We be- lieve in social security; we believe in work for the unemployed; we be- lieve in saving homes. Cross our hearts and hope to die, we believe in all these things; but we do not like the way the present administration is doing them. Just turn them over to us. We will do all of them. We will do more of them we will do them better, and, most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything
 "But, my friends, these evaders are banking too heavily on the shortness of our memories. No one will forget that they had their golden oppor- tunity - twelve long years of it. xxx
 The president ended his address with phrase that he enunciated as 8 slogan, "the words of the great essayist - The voice of great events is proclaiming to us - reform if you would preserve.
 T am that kind of 8 conservative because am that kind of liberal"

(COnt1nueQ rom Pagc 1J be behind you for God and coun- try"
 Boston, Sept. 30-(UP)-The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin has refused to consent to withdrawal of Thomas c. O'Brien, union party candidate, from the Massachusetts contest for U. S. Senator unless democratic governor James M. Curley repu- diates President Roosevelt.
 After Mayor Robert E. Greenwood of Fitchburg, son-in-law of U. g. Senator Marcus A. Coolidge, drop ped out of the race, Curley said it would be "sportsmanlike" for O'Brien and State Auditor Alonzo B. Cook to follow suit and permit a clean-cut contest between him and Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., the republican senatorial nominee.
 Curley telephoned the Detroit ra- dio priest and founder of the na- tional union for social justice in an effort to have O'Brien withdraw. O'Brien, a Boston attorney, also is union party vice-presidential noms inee. The governor refused to re- veal the conversation with Father Coughlin, who later told the Boston Post that rom O'Brien will remain in the fight, simply because Cover nor Curley will not endorse the 16 principles of the national union for social justice and will not repudiate President Roosevelt"
 Boston, Sept. 30-(UFS-Justice Stanley E. Qua of state supreme court today issued permanent in- functions to restrain the state bal- lot law commission from further ac- ton against the nomination papers of union party candidates in the November election.
 This means that, barring unfore- seen complications, names of all union party candidates will appear on the November ballot.
 Principal case on which ruling was made was that of Thomas O.. O'Brien, Boston attorney and can- didate for the U. s. Senate. O'Brien also is union party nominee for vice-preSident.
 The only question which the commission will be permitted to rule upon under Justice Qua'S decision Is authenticity of signatures on the nomination papers.
 Justice Qua's ruling meant in ef- feet also that the candidates would be permitted to have Drinted oa the ballot their organization designa- ton.
 Other union party cases involved were those of William H. McMas- ters of Cambridge, gubernatorial candidate, and Nelson F. Wright of Medford, William McAuliffe of New Bedford and Donald F. Moynahan of South Hadley, congressional can- didateS.

his selling for less. His produce is
in turn sold by the large-scale dis.
tributor at a correspondingly lower

"When factory receives an order
at the beginning of it's dull season
which will keep it going full blast all
through the dull season, it's natural
ly willing to fill this order at lower
prices than it would charge for tiny
orders received in driblets at the peak
of its busy season.
"All of these are natural economic
relationships. They save money for
producers and manufacturers and they
make possible lower selling prices to
consumers.
"The Robinson-Patman bill would
disturb most of these long establish

law in it's present form, it would have
the effect of compelling producers
and manufacturers to sell their out

same price, regardless of the produc-
ton and distribution costs involved.
Retail prices would rise. The consum-
err would pay the toll, and he would
pay at a time such as the present
when he can least afford to bear even
the minutest increase in the cost of
his necessities Of life.
''The bill is claimed by it's whole
saler and food broker sponsors to be
necessary to give the little fellow
chance, to enable him to buy and
sell on equal terms with everybody
else. The littlest fellows of all in
the United States are the rs per cent
of our consumer population who have
to live on incomes of $1,000 a year
OF less, and who can't afford to pay
the cost of harboring any group on
their limited means, especially a
group which doesn't need refuge since
it already controls over 20 per cent
of American retail business.
"Under the terms of this bill in it's
present form, the forehanded retailer
