AS soon as the Englishman threat

nonchalantly, applying pressure only
when he was forced to.

Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra oal,lnalel

The Minneapolis Symphony orGhes-
ira now is in the midst of its CAIN
paign to raise $i48,oe8 for each 6f
the fiext two years to insure continu-
ance of the world-famous orchestra
that has brought such fame to Min
neapolis and the Northwest.
With only a very small campaign
organization and without the neces-
sary cash to hire any workers, Ma
thaniel Stevens, general chairman OF
the campaign, is issuing an appeal to
residents of this district to come to
the support of the orchestra volui.
tarily. Please call the Civic and
Commerce association, Atlantic 6401,
and state what YOU wish to pledge
anything from % cents up Then
after the campaign proper, YOU can
be called upon to sign your pledge:
IF residents of the Twin Cities
who desire to assist the orchestra
but whom we have never reaehed
previously, will only help us out by
doing this, we can certainly put the
campaign over" Mr.. Stevens said.
Many persons do not understand
why it is necessary to have these fl
nancial campaigns to sustain our or
chestra. The main reason is that
we endeavor to give low-priced con-
certs throughout the season so that
our prices run as low as Is cents.
This means that we cannot possibly
be self-sustaining. If we tried to be
self-sustaining we would have to
raise prices for tickets above the
reach of everybody. That would
mean that the orchestra would be
making this wonderful music only
for handful of rich or well-te-do
men and women. AS it is, we play
concerts for school children now.
"All orchestras in this country are
in the same financial state. The
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra has
to raise less money than most OF the
others. In Europe, many of the or
chestras are supported by tax money.
That means that everybody who pays
taxes has to support the orchestra.
But here we use the more American
method. Nobody has to come to con-
certs and nobody has to help-but
those who like to come can afford it
and those who like to help are asked
to help"
Small contributions are just as nec-
essary as large ones. Mr.. Stevens
pointed out. The orchestra Is not sup
ported merely for the wealthy Of the
community and many contributions
are received each year from Is cents
UP, he pointed out.

NYA Program viii
Aid Negro Farm, Youth

Hailed enthusiastic,
ally as "a bright ray of hope for the
masses of Negro youth in the rural
South" by Mrs. Mary Mcleod Beth
une. director of the Division of Ne
gro Affairs of the National Youth
Administration, a new program, MAX
ing training courses in agriculture
and home making available to the
sons and daughters of tenant and
other low-incone farm families, was
announced this week by Aubrey VIII
liams, NYA executive director The
training courses will be sponsored by
the NYA in cooperation with the
department of agriculture and vari-
Gus state agricultural schools and
colleges. -
Farm youth who have been unable
to get more than an elementary
schooling will be given an opportunity
to engage upon work and learn
projects of one to three months dur
alton at agricultural institutions
within or near their home cUnmu-
mites. They will be given practical
instruction in basic farming and
home economics subjects while work
ing out their subsistence on projects
on the school or other public prop
erty. In many cases the work prof.
Get will consist of building work
shops and cooperative dormitories
in which they and subsequent groups
of students in their class will be able
TO live with maximum economy.
One outstanding feature of the
plan expected to be followed at
many institutions embraces the
building of cooperative dormitories
by the NYA workers. With materials
and supervision furnished chiefly by
the college, these structures will al
ford maximum economy in living
costs and valuable construction ex-
perience which will be useful to the
students on their homes and farms.

property of the institution but under
an agreement with the federal gov
ernment whereby they will continue
to be used for cooperative purposes.
Mr.. Williams stated that a number
of farm and educational leaders; par
ticularly in the South, had been
sounded out on the feasibility of the
program. In practically every case,
he said, the response was enthusiast
tically favorable. !.
1T has long been recognized! he
added, that full educational .oppor-
tunities are denied; largo segment
of the populace by economic factors.
In Southern rural AREAS, particularly,
where average annual family incomes
of as little as 5000 and $500 prevail,
education beyond the eighth grade
is more the exception than the rule.
Nearly all of our states have 5ex-
cellent agricultural schools and coli.

in farming and home economics are

vented By poverty from ever deriving
any of the advantages which these
institutions have to offer. We want
to t6hipehsate, insofar as we can,
for this loss of opportunity"
While the program is not intended
primarily for tenant and share-crop-
per families, 1t is expected that many
such youths will be benefited.

have asserted recently that the
commission has practically fin
ished it's work and is expected to
make it's recommendations to the
House and Senate in the near
future.
Fund for Options
This would preclude the neces-
sity of the commission desiring
the $4,000 to pay expenses of
any experts to aid them in the
study, and this pointed to the fact
that about the only reason the
commission desires money is to
take out options on parcels of
ground in the area it will suggest
the airport be located.
1t is believed that the commits
sion would like to take out the
options before it makes it's report
so that the price of the land
which has been determined upon
will not be boosted Immediately
upon the public announcement of
the decision of the commission.
Representative Nichols was not
in the city today to explain the
reason for the introduction of his
resolution and none of the other
members of the commission would
make an explanation, except to
say that the money is needed to
carry out the study.
d. C. to Bear Half
Should the commission have de-
termined to locate the airport at
either Gravelley Point or the
Washington Hoover airport, there
would be no necessity for taking
out options.
Another line in the Nichols reso-
luton also is indicative of the fact
that the commission has agreed
that the financing of the airport

The bodies of Mrs. Boarman and
her two children were in a Prince

while the mangled body of the
husband and father was in the

Daughter in Hospital
Mary Boarman was in Sibley
Hospital, suffering from a wound
in the arm, lacerationS of the
scalp and shock. Doctors say she
will recover. Her fiance, who suf'
fered a wound of the face and ear,
was treated at the hospital and

Just how the first three killings
took place no one will ever know,
For the only two living witnesses
to the killings are sleek black
cat, the pet of the family, and
a canary that trilled in its cage in
the dining room as the murders
occurred.
ReconStructing the crimes, how
ever, police believe that Boarman
first struck down his wife in the
dining room of the comfortable
family home, using a hammer to
beat her to death.
On the wall above where her
body lay twisted in pool of blood
was {. cross.
Fled in Vain
William Francis, brilliant uni

meet death, police believe. He
was found beaten to death in the
kitchen. 1t is believd his father
laid in wait and jumped him as he
entered the rear door of the home.
Margaret, the next to die, fled
In terror in an effort to save her
life, police believe. Her body,
also beaten, was found in the
cellar. 1t is believed she fled,
with her father in pursuit, and
that she tripped over some kind
ling wood and then he fell upon
her, beating her with the ham,
mer that had already crushed out
the lives of her mother and
brother.
After this there came a pause,
and the demented slayer at

police believe.
Then he went outside. locked
the door and awaited the coming
of Mary. his last living child.
Father DiSarmed
AS she drove up in Ryan's car,
the father walked up, with
strange look on his face, mumbled
something, then whipped out a
.38-caliber revolver, fired at his
daughter, then at Ryan, wound
ing them both slightly, then
struck at Mary with the same
death-dealing hammer, police said.
Ryan leaped out of his car, dis.
armed the father. who fled into
the darkness. Ryan called for
help, and then rushed Mary to
the office of DR.. Robert r. Hotel,
1922 Monroe st. N. E. They we're
both given emergency treatment
there and then sent to the hos
pital.
Police Find Bodies
Police broke a window to gain
access to the Boarman home and
found the three bodies. A posse
was at once organized to search
for the killer.
While police were still search
ing, word was received that a man
had hurled himself under the
wheels of a B. & o. freight train
at the Bates Road crossing, only
a short distance from the house.
