IIi the runs right then. I spoke to him in friendly fashion suggesting tlat he'd better give them to Dean Keller, and soners good-naturedly replied, "okeh, I'll do that"
 Instead, eomers kept the revol- vers which he had bought from a New York mail order house only Q few days ago, and last night used them to kill his closest friend, Robert Paul Henneberry, l0, and to wound William Homer 1iartz, Jr., Ie, sons of wealthy Chicagoarls, and then end his own life.
 President Tyler Dennett of Wil- Hams college said today that while there was no written rule against students having firearms, it is ex- plicity understood that firearms are not to be in the possession of students"
 He attributed somers' acts to mental derangement due to over- study.
 Left No Notes
 somers, 19-year-old son of @ Mer" 1den, Conn, attorney, left no notes to explain the tragedy, autorities announced today after searching his room. A squat, stocky youth with close-cropped hair and a booming voice, Somers was known as q campus recluse. His many ec- centricities were recalled today by fellow undergraduates as they sought an explanation for his acts. They remembered that, to keep in trim for the wrestling team, his sole ath- letic endeavor, Somers had eaten raw meat, run to and from classes, and gone for long rides on his bl- bycle, always alone.
 Earlier in the college year, Sorn- CTS had clipped his food budget to 43.65 weekly, and to keep within that figure had acquired the habit of eating in his dormitory room. College authorities discouraged this practice, advising the youth to join the Garfield club, non-fraternity social unit. This he did, but he never ate at the club, preferring Q luncheonette near the campus.
 Scene of Shooting
 Scene of the shootings was Hem reberry's room on the third floor of Lehman hall, a dormitory named for Governor Herbert II. Lehman of New York. It was shortly after dinner, and Henneberry and Hartz were in the room, the former read- ing a book. Toting @ pistol in either hand, Somers opened the door. without warning he fired at Hen- neberry, the bullet piercing the back of his head. In swift success sion Somers fired two shots at Hartz. The first bullet pierced tho sole of Hartzs right foot, and the second struck his left shoulder. Still another shot went wild. Then, dramatically, Somers raised both revolvers to his head. One gun ap- parently damned. A bullet from the other proved fatal. Henneberry and Somers died instantly.
 Hartz Sounds Alarm
 Bleeding from the shoulder, HaStz made his way downstairs one flight and revealed the shootings to Q classmate, Robert Young, 19, of Scarsdale, N. Y. son of New York attorney, and classmate Of Homers' at Taft Preparatory school in Watertown, Conn.
 Enroute to Young's room, Hart2 also had disclosed the tragedy to George Clyde, a freshman at Santa Barbara, Calf, who left immediate Iy for medical aid. Meanwhile, Young went to Henneberry's room after placing Hartz on his bed.
 Young Reaches Scene
 Young was first to reach the room after the shootings and noti-

 President Roosevelt's comment on the decision appeared somewhat to strengthen belief that Lewis held the key to the situation. Mir. Roose. welt said the administration would continue to strive toward ouffey act objectives.
 He indicated that Q new approach to the problems of industrial con- trol would be sought. But he did not specify whether action would be ate tempted during the present session of congress or allowed to go over until after the November elections.
 Decision Expected
 This is the decision Lewis may make.
 Lewis claims on the administra- ton are great. He has assumed leadership of Q labor drive for rec election of President Roosevelt and has marshaled tho militant sup- port of his United Mine Workers and other legions of organized labor behind the New Deal.
 Previously, when the supreme court invalidated the New Deal, knocking out NTsA coal codes, Lewis asked and won enactment of the duffey "little NRA" for the bitunin- ouS industry. Congress had to stay extra weeks in session and President Roosevelt intervened directly in the fight to get him what he wanted.
 Although the situation ct that time was colored by possibility of 0 national coal striko if congress did not act, there appeared no reason

InbrOvenpe2atS Made At
Oxford Theatre This Week
Beautiful Lighting Fixtures
And Improved Sound Eff
feet Part of Program

r. L. Parsons, manager Of the
Oxford Theatre. announced Tues
day that extensive improvements
had been made in the interior of
the popular picture house in this
city. These were the first Of a num-
Der of contemplated improvements
which the new owners plan to make
at the Oxford.
A visit to the theatre Tuesday
afternoon disclosed a very pleas
ant and beautiful lighting effect,
secured through the installation of
Rainbo vari-colored fixtures. Var
ious effects of lighting can be had
by the turn of a switch, and it is
planned to make these changes Of
ten. There are four Of these beau
tiful lights on the side walls, and
the many colors provide a soft
tone effect, and greatly enhance
the interior Of the building.
Another major Improvement was
the installation of accoustical
treatment on the rear wall for bet
ter sound. This new arrangement,
which has 70 percent absorption,
has stopped all echo and has pro-
duced better acoustics for the
talking pictures. New carpets in
the aisles and the foyer are being
laid today. These improvements
are made with a view of comfort
and beauty for the patrons, and
with the splendid pictures which
the new owners have booked the
Oxford should be one of the most
popular movie houses in this terri
tory.

Twenty-Five Farm Yard I'M
provement groups sent two leaders
or their substitutes to the first SER
les of training meetings in that
project March 81, April 1 and in
st. Cloud, Padua and Richmond.
The lesson on Windbreaks, Farm
Cleanup and Towns as given by
Prof. L. e. Longley, Division of
Horticulture, University of Mime
sofa, in st. Cloud on March 81 was
repeated by Frank Jung, st. Cloud,
at the two following meetings. Miss
Charlotte Kirchner, State Home
Demonstration Field Agent also
visited the st. Cloud meeting.
According to Mr.. Longley, an
adequate windbreak should be az
least 40 yards wide containing two
rows of trees for a snow-catch, a
snow-trap and 7-8 rows of larger
trees of fast and slow growing var
ieties which will make the wind
break proper. A wind-break such
as this will protect the buildings
and land, saving fuel and soil mois-
ture, and will be future source Of
fuel crop. Orders of trees and
shrubs are being sent to the Coun-
ty Extension Office and will be
pooled together thereby receiving
quantity rates on nursery stock.
Transplanting trees and seedlings
can be successfully accomplished IL
the roots are kept moist and plant
ed firmly in a moist, good soil.
Seedlings and cuttings should re-
ceive the same care that any gar
den crops require.
The part of the lesson on clean
up will perhaps be used by the most
people in increasing the esthetic
value Of the farm home. This may
vary from relignins the yard by
moving wood piles, machinery and
other movable objects and build
ings to just raking the lawn, re-
moving dead branches and shrubs
and other useless objects. Burning
of lawns was not recommended by
Mr.. Longley or Mr.. Jung.
The grading soil preparation and
seeding the lawn proved very in
teresting. Directions were given for
planting either Kentucky Blue
grass lawns on ordinary soils and
on sandy, acid soils and for creep
ing bent grass lawns.
The next lesson on Foundation
and Border Planting, Orchards, and
a Five Year Plan of Planting" will
be given April % in Sank Centre,
April % in st. Cloud and April 30
in Richmond. Mr.. Longley will use
slides to illustrate important points
in the general farm yard improve
ment.
A number of the All clubs in the
County are preparing a one-ac.
