walked towards a baiZe-covered
table and put my Identification
paper in front of a smart, uniform
clad man of the Carnera type.
This person took no notice either
of us or of the scrap of paper, for
he was busily interrogating a
wretched, cringing individual who
stood trembling before him with
his back to us.
Suddenly Camera rose, seized
the sinners beard with his left
hand, pulled him forward and gave
him three awful cuts on the back
of his neck with all his strength,
using the edge of his right hand.
It looked as if he were trying to
behead the man with his bare
hands. I can only describe my

It must have been by mistake
that I was allowed to witness this

having glanced at my scrap of
brown paper, also got kind of un-

friendly sign to come nearer, and
asked the aShen MaruShka what

LAWYERS OPEN
NEW FIGHT FOR
WIFE SLAYER

BOSTON, Aug. 3 GN.S).-Stak-
ing all hopes on an eleventh-hour
attempt in the state courts, coun-
sci for Newell Page Sherman
moved secretly today to save the
American tragedy" slayer Of his
wife from death in the electric
chair at CharleStown State prison
possibly at midnight tonight.
If the legal move fails, the o.
year-old choir singer, who drowned
his wife in Lake Singletary a
year ago in the hope of marrying
buxom Esther Magill, becomes the
fifty-first man to die in MaSSa-
chusettS' electric chair.
Gov. James M. Curley denied ap-
pealS of the doomed Slayer'S par
entS for clemency. Other moves in
the State Supreme Court have
failed. and Sherman's counsel de-
cided against flying to Washington
to file a writ Of certiorari in the
United States Supreme Court.
Sherman was reported resigned
to his fate. He reads, smokes and
sleeps, and eats heartily in his
cell, 10 PAGES from the hidden
electric chair.
Robert Elliott, official execu-
toner, was expected late today to
test the execution apparatus.
Sherman will spend most of to-
day with his spiritual advisor, the
Rev. William Bradley. Visited yes

man appeared cheerful and talked

BUSY DAY TO

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 3 U.N.SO. q.
Drought relief and the possibilities
of gaining Republican seats in the
United States Senate occupied
Gov. Alfred M. Landon today as
he faced a heavy schedule Of con-
ferenceS.
There was possibility, too, the
Republican nominee for President
might meet DR.. Francis E. Town

old age pension plan. The pension
promoter was coming here for a
speech to Townsend clubs in the
city auditorium this afternoon and
while he had no appointment
with Landon, the governors door

Senators Head Callers
Heading the list of conferences
here, Senator John G. Townsend,
jr., of Delaware. and Senator Fred
erick SteiWer, of oregon, chair
man and vice chairman Of the
Republican Senatorial Campaign
Committee.
Young Henry Cabot Lodge, jr,
son of the late Senator from Mass
achusetts, also had a conference
scheduled with Landon. Lodge
was nominated for the Senate by
the Massachusetts Republican
Convention for the seat now held
by Senator Marcus Coolidge,
Democrat.
On the drought issue, Landon
was to make a radio address to
farmers early this afternoon on
q Statewide hook-up.
To See Grange Leader
The Governor also planned to
discuss this issue with Louis j.
Tabor, master of the National
Grange. Tabor came here to ask
L.andon to support the grange
program for crop insurance as a
means of providing drought relief
in the future.
On his arrival here. Tabor said:
"The lessons of this drought
are many. The necessity for
soil and water conservation will
be brought home to the con-
sumner as well as the farmer. 1t
is time to find an intelligent
approach to the problems Of
crop insurance. 1t is a more
statesmanShip-like method Of
meeting the drought than
through the dole, relief and seed
loans. Sound crop insurance
could protect the farmer in u
self respecting way and also
protect the consumer by guar
anteeing production in the fol-
lowing years"

Teachers Institute
Held at Wilson

Problems in the teaching
of English were discussed
at an institute conducted
Saturday morning in Will
son school under the aus
pices of the Southern California
association of English teachers.
Miss Florence Springer, president
of the association, in talking on
the philosophy of teaching, with
which subject the institute opened,
emphasized the fact that the teach
er is no longer the autocrat of the
classroom but leader, and that
the growth of the. child is depen-
dent upon the growth of the teach
er. The new education places its
emphasis on developing the child
for life in the community rather
than the classroom and the school
should provide life materials. not
just text book materials. Integra-
tion of schools by means of other
than the formal sySte mwaS cX-
planned by the speaker.
The remainder oil tne pro-
gram was devoted largely to the
problems of teaching English to
the non-readers, to the non-col-
lege student, and on methods of
impoving reading skill.
Those participating in the panel
were: Miss Ruth Pinkerton. John
Muir high school, Pasadena; Miss
Harriet Sterling, head of the John
Muir school English department;
DR.. Helen Bailey of Manual Arts
high school, Los Angeles; Miss
Helen Kennedy. supervisor of
reading. Pasadena; Miss Hazel

Compton.

for a luncheon program at the
Barbara Worth hotel.
