Panama, June 13--(UP)- Kelvin Arthur Rogers, 7,040 nautical miles on his way from Melbourne, Aus- tralia, to see . physician in Phil arelphia who may save him from Q painful death, looked forward much more today to seeing Mae West and Shirley Temple.

 There were no surgical instru. rnents in Australia to make the nail removal operation possible, after Kelvin's absorption of Q nail from 6 packing box, and his mother, Mrs. Marjorie Glare Rogers, started with him for the United States. Mother and son arrived last night in the American Pioneer Motor liner JeH Davis. The son, pink checked, with big, interested blue eyes, looking none the worse for having Q big headed nail in his lung, was uninterested in his pros. pective operation but he did say he wanted to see Mae West and Shir- ley.

 LEGION SOUGHT
PrObers in Detroit Con-
 tinue to DeIve Into Secrets of Riders

Detroit, Mich, June l3.--(UP).- Black Legion investigators drove toe ward the real hIRher.ups" of the night riders today on the theory that "only the surface has been scratched to date" and that the ar- son, murder and Kidnapping at pres- ent ascribed to the legion presents only Q partial picture of its activi- ties.
 Duncan c. McCrea, Wayne county prosecutor leading the inquiries, be- lieves big names of state ofacialdom will be connected to the legion.
 Increasingly voluble confessions during the past two days, which have led authorities to the trail of two planned murders and ct least one act of the larson squad" lend strength to the hope that the legions VOW of silence will be cracked even wider.
 Three To Re Questioned
 Three men are to be questioned today by the Oakland county grand jury about the firing of the farm of William Mollenhauer, leader of the rural communist movement in Michs igan. It has been admitted that the legion was behind the crime, but au- thorities are more interested in proving that 1t also tlstigated the burning of the Rev. Charles E.. Coughlins Shrine of the Little Flow CT.
 In Detroit, investigators are con. centrating oin the two murder plots against Mayor William Voisine of Ecorse and Arthur L. Kingsley, who campaigned in his paper, the High- land Parker, against the Black Legion. Warrants for 27 persons, iTl- cluding 12 listed as "John Doe" have been issued in the two cases.
 Dayton Dean, trigger man" in the Charles A. Poole staying, revealed the two plots in Q further confess sion and Clarence 0. Frye and Roy Hepner, both in the arson squad, confirmed them, McCrea said.

 TENNIS VICTORY

(Continued from Page l.) alive when Carolin Bahock, Los Angeles, won her nrst set, e-4, from Mary Hardwick, playing in the Wightman cup series for the first time.
 Victory for Miss Babcock in the days final singles match would deadlock the series at 3 matches each, and leave the final result up to the doubles engagement between the American team of Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Fabyan and the English pair of Miss Stammers and Miss Freda James.
 Miss Babcock, wearing white shorts and Q white shirt open at the throat, won the first set by continually keeping the English girl on the run. The blonde Call fornian played at top form except in the seventh and ninth games, which she lost through careless ness.
 MVDs EUUy0u VvAAhD
 Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, HrooklIne, Mass, scored c surprising victory today over Kay Stammers, left-handed British ace, in the open ing match of the second days Wightman cup tennis matches to deadlock the series at two triumphs for each nation. The scores were 6--3, 6-4.
 Mrs. Fabyan's victory lifted Amer ica's hopes of retaining the treas ured tennis trophy for the sixth straight year. When play started to- day England. holding 2-l margin, was heavily favored to wrest the cup from the United States, but Mrs. Fabyan's triumph put the invaders back on even terms with the Britt ish team.
 A crowd of 1000 braving rain and dismal weather, came to Wimble- don today expecting to see the home forces put the American team to rout.
 Stemmed British Tide
 Mrs. Fabyan, playing with grim determination, stemmed the British tide in the first match by conquer ing England's No. 1 player, who yesterday defeated Helen Jacobs, American champion.
 After winning the first set by at- tacking Miss Stammers' backhand, Mrs. Fabyan changed her tactics somewhat in the second set. She alternated attacking Rays back hand with deep cross court shots. and forcing her into errors with soft strokes.
 Rain halted the match for 25 minutes in the second game, with the score tied at one game each.
 The lead shifted back and forth until the seventh game when Mrs. Fabyan went ahead. 4-3. by break ing Miss Stammers' service. She won her own service in the eighth game but dropped Q love game to the English girl in the ninth. The American closed out her victory by winning the tenth game on service after staving of a rally by Miss Stammers. who pulled up from driving the deciding shot into the net.

 They said this committee would counteract the plans of the Come to Cleveland" organization, which has booked 50 far the socialist, the republican and the American Legion conventions and is drumming up customers for the Great Lakes Ex- position, opening June 27.
 Decent Steak Once More
 The committee, they said, would function to make 1t possible for the natives to get a decent steak once more in Weber's celebrated German restaurant; to find @ seat again in the Roxy Burlesque theater, where the girls wear no brassieres; to make Cleveland Q home for the home folks and not @ hospitable spot for visiting firemen.
 About the only republicans left in town are former chairman Henry P. Fletcher and some members of the national committee. They're sleeping the sleep of the weary at this writing; they're returning to Washington at 8:36 p. m. aboard a special train: doubtless, right now, they're dreaming about ell the folks who plucked their lapels and de- Eaarided tickets to the convention.
 Lovely Vandenberg Girl
 The lovely daughter of Senator Arthur Vandenberg, who came here in time to learn that her father didn't want to be president, or vice. president either, returned to Mich- igan to buy new dress.
 She stopped in Detroit on the way and bought herself Q beautiful brown silk frock to wear at the con- vention, on the chance that her dad might receive tho nomination. This dress was piped in yellow, and upon the bosom thereof, there was em- broidered @ handsome yellow daisy.
 We'll sir, Miss Vandenberg took one look at the Landon sunfiowers on every other republican chest, and went to work with c pair of scissors. Tn getting rid of the daisy, she ruined the dress.

3O,OOO CHINESE
 HAVE BIG PARADE

Canton, China, June 13--(U.P0-. Thirty thousand persons, 8 cross section of Chinese life, paraded to- day shouting their determination to oppose Japanese imperialism. It was the sort of demonstration-ex- pected and dreaded-which many feared might be the first of Q series of incidents that would lead to new Japanese activity in Central-south- ern China.
 Tn today's demonstration were farmers, carrying their hoes, youth- full students, workers in restaurants and cafe, rickshaw men, coal Inin- CTS, employees of motion picture theaters, engineers who rep. resented China's millions. Their parade extended for five miles along the crooked, narrow streets of the southwestern capital. Their ban- ners, portrayed and their shouts sounded, their opposition to Jap- ans encroachments. Police accom- panied the procession balancing sub-machine guns in the crooks of their arms but there was no dis order. The only excitement, aside from that of the parade itself, was provided by . runaway horse.

 With the riot over, the Hollenden folks moved the furniture back in the lobby. The permanent guests went to bed and to sleep for the first time in Q week. Heretofore they've been going to bed and spending the rest of the night listening to Lan- donites sing 70, Susanna. This may be a nice song and all that, but 1t sounds pretty sour when emitted by quartet trained on Sloe gin rickeyS.
 Profits For City
 Cleveland, June l3.-(UP).-Clev land cash registers were enriched by approximately $200o,000 during the week of the Republican national convention, 1t was estimated today
 Republican ofilclals, delegates, al. ternates and their families mum. bered 4,000. Parties boosting vari. ous candidates, loyal republicans from afar, and people merely want- ing to witness the spectacle, of a convention were estimated aC- 10,000
 Many stayed more than the four days of the convention, and some stayed fewer, but the average was four days. Each spent approximate ly $20 a day for lodging, food, trans- portation and entertainments total of $l,l20,0o0.
 Tn addition to these, there were approximately 300 newspaper corre- spondentS, 100 photographers, 100 radio at1nouncerS, engineers, and ex- ecutives, 800 outside telegraph oper- ators, telephone men, and other service workers, Q total of 1000 specialists brought here by the con- vention. Each spent an average of $250 during his stay-a total of $250,000.
 Specialists Costly
 These specialists needed equip- ment, including leased news wires, which cost to transport, install, pow CT and maintain approximately $l00,000.
 The newspapermen sent approx imately 6,000000 words by telegraph, excluding the millions carried on the leased wires of press associations. Visitors, too, made heavy use of tele" graphic and telephonic facilities and the total expenditures was esti- mated at $500000.
 These estimates are in addition to the physical costs of the conven- ton itself, which were born by the republican national committee, and of the campaigns of the candidates for the presidential and vice-presi- dental nominations, for which no estimates were available.
 Nor did they take Into account the expenditures of visitors for trans portation by train. plane and auto, to and from Cleveland.
 Cleveland contributed $l50,000 to the national committee to bring the convention here.

Alleged Mass Murder Plot Ls LnDestigated h Bay State

Springfield, Mass, June 13.-(UP) A supposed mass murder plot in which the killers took out "specula. tive insurance" on their intended victims and then saw to 1t that they died prematurely was being investi- gated today in the industrial corn- Tniinities of Ludlow, Chicopee and Indian Orchard.
 From their inquiries into three rec cent deaths where there were hints that supposed victims of accidents or heart attacks had actually been poiaAned, authorities suspected that racketeers may have murdered 50 and possibly more heavily-insured persons during the past l6 years.
 Center of the probable racket is an insurance conscious" industrial area of about 60,00O population.
 All three men whose deaths were being investigated were said to have been heavily insured by an unnamed company which reportedly had writ ten 300 life policies in Ludlow alone.
 Routine inquest into the death of Frank Halgas, Ludlow laborer, tln- covered the imagined racket. Halgas, who was said to have carried bee tween 98.00O and slO,000 insurance, supposedly was killed by an auto- mobile near his home April {. Trial Judge George B. Haas of Ludlow found during the Halgas inquest. however, that the victims body contained 50 much poison that 1t is apparent e serious crime has been committed, which calls for a most searching investigation"
 It was Judge Haas who said there have been ''between 36 and 50 slls- piclous deaths" in Ludlow. Chiccpee and Indian Orchard in the past IS years. "Ry suspicious" he said. T Ineys that many of them Wcre inc sured by outsiders for amounts they themselves were unable to carry" He added that without medical reports
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-13

on these deaths 1t was impossible to determine whether death was caused by poisoning" But the deaths are suspicious" Judge Haas explained.
 Deaths of Frank Krol of Ludlow, presumably from 8 fall down stairs in his home May 25, and of Jacob Inoj of Chicopee in April, at first believed Q victim of accidental pois- oning, were among others known to be under investigation.
 Dr. William Boos, Harvard Medi- cal school toxicologist, said vital or gans of both men contained arsenic in deadly quantities"
 One investigator said evidence in- dicated alcohol was an element in each death.
 Krol reportedly was insured for $2O,000 and znoj for half that amount.
 As to method of working the pur- ported insurance scheme, one theory advanced was that the victims were maneuvered, in one way or another, into heavy debt. The person to whom the obligation was due, then obtained a lien on the debtors in- surance policy which originally had named a relative as beneficiary. Since the transaction did not ap- pear on the policy. 1t was said, evl- dence of possible fraud was conceal ed. Afterwards, according to the theory. the victim died slowly Of poisoning.
 Another theory was that persons other than relatives were made beneficiarles.
 One insurance agent revealed that there YVES more speculative insur- ance" in Ludlow than in any other city or town in the world. He ex- plained that under speculative in- surance," one person--not neccs- sarlly ( relatlve--could obtain in- surance on another.
