DOPE PEDDLER
SENT T0CHAIR
BY LIE TEST

CHICAGO. March 2 QN.S0
Five times reprieved, Joseph Rap
paport died in the electric chair to-
day for the murder Of a govern
ment informer after a dramatic
eleventh hour test with lie de-
tector proclaimed him guilty.
While jailers, lawyers and wit
neSses crowded about Prof. Leonard
Keeler and his lie detector device
in the tense quiet of the death cell
Rappaport made his supreme
gamble-and lost.
The twin pens on the device
scrawled out their verdict - the
vertical lines on the recording
cylinder stating with finality that
Rappaport'S denial of guilt was
a lie. The machine was closed
up and carried out, the witnesses
left the death cell and jailerS pre-
pared the prisoner for death.
Two hours later Rappaport was
executed in the basement OF the
Cook county jail for the murder
of Max Dent. a Government in
former and witness in a narcotics
case against Rappaport.
1t was the first time on record
that the lie detector, known to
science as a polygraph, figured in
a death cell drama. The apparatus,
resembling an outmoded radio set,
was assembled, and an attachment
was bound to the doomed mans
arm and chest.
Keeler asked a few simple ques,
tions. The pens scratched across
the paper cylinder, showing the
steady breathing and pulse OF Rap
paport. Then he was asked if he
killed Dent. There was no hesi
tation. His reply indicated no
change. The little vertical lines
broke and jumped. reflecting the
imperceptible intake of breath
and quickened pulse. The test
was over.

Trade Body Charges
Process 'MOnOpOly'

whereas farmers had suffered a
decline of approximately go per
cent in their gross incomes from
1929 to 1882, "the gross income OF
the principal manufacturers, proc
eSSorS and distributors generally
showed a much smaller decline"
BY 1884, the farm gross income
had increased, but not in compari-
son to the increased income OF
the manufacturers and dlstrlb-
utorS, the report held.
The gross income of wheat far
merS in 1884 was only As per cent
of the 1929 income, while that OF
the flour millers was IA per cent,
the report said. Income Of cot
ton farmers in 1884 was 48 per
cent of the 1929 income, that of
the cotton textile manufacturers,
96 per cent.
The tobacco farmers income in
1884 was 78 per cent OF the 1929
income, that of the tobacco manu-
facturer, 81 per cent. For the live
stock farmer, the figure was 81 per
cent, for the Tleat packers, So;
for the milk producer. 81 per cent,
for the professors and distributors,
rs per cent.
Meat Packers Smallest
The meat packers made the
smallest net income, a return Of
4.3 per cent, the report said. The
tobacco professors, for the seven
years from 1929 to 1885, received a
return of 1873 per cent; milk pro-
cessors and distributors, 9.57 per
cent; wholesale baking companies,
8.76 per cent.
Leather companies showed a
loss for the entire seven years,
and cotton textile professors for
the 1929-32 period, but since 1884,
they have showed greater gain. "
No specific figure of the gain was
given.
Farmers received only 35 per
cent of the consumers dollar on
white wheat flour; the flour miller,
% per cent; wholesale and retail
distributors, 33 per cent, and 10
per cent goes for transportation
and middlemen'S charges, the
report said.

symbols of their rank--at Q colortul public consistory In the benedictlon hall of the papal palace. Archbishop Hinsley is the first Englishman during the reign Of Pope Plus to be raised to the rank of Oar. dinal. His appointment was not Q surprise as his name had been TO. peatedly mentioned as the successor of the late Cardinal Francis Bourne. who died in 1885.
 Conslstory Most Secret
 Todays consistory was most se- cret. only the Pope and the pres- cnt cardinals were admitted.
 The Pope was clad in white and wore his white "zucchetto" or skull cap. The cardinals formed Q strik- Ing contrast with their rich criSn- son robes.
 Creation of the five new cardinals brought tho membership of tho sa. cred college to 60. Although tho membership in the college Is not limited, tradition holds that the number does not exceed 70.
 Italians outnumber their foreign colleagues, 30 to 30, giving them Q majority of nine seats. AS 1t is unlikely that the failing Pontiff will ever name any other new cardinals, oil hopes of c foreign Pope succeed. ing him have been eliminated.
 Of the present 30 non n-Italian car- dinals, six are French, four Amer. jeans, three Germans, three span- iards, two Czechoslovakians, two Poles and one Austrian, Argentine, Brazilian, Belgian, Canadian, Eng llsh, Hungarian, Irish, Portuguese and Syrian.
 Pope Plus Created b6
 Of the 60 Cardinals, 66 have been created by Plus xf, ten by his pre- decessor, Benedict XIV, two by Plus x and one by Leo XIII. In oil, the present Pontiff has created 70 car- dinals, 2i of whom have died. Six ty-seven cardinals died during the reign of the present Pope.
 Today was the second time since Plus xI became Pope that the cole lege has reached 60. It also marked the second time that the college has been so large since the reign of 1a- tlocent x, til the 18th century, when there were 70.
 Pope Plus has held i7 consist0E- les, only Q few of which were for the purpose of creating new cardi- fiaiS.
 It was learned authoritativeiy that United States and British church authorities had reached an accord whereby the American Catholic church, St. Susanna, i1 Rome. would become the titular church for the newly.created Cardinal Hinsley.
 The Pope'g address included ref- erence to his health:
 Above all we desire to testify once again before you, our gratitude to the almighty since though af- filcted with long illness, celestial as- sistance never failed Us.
 "in recent months the most flcf- cifui God seems to nave accepted prayers and applications, which many times nave been addressed to him as follows: Almighty if for the welfare of the church and the health of mankind we are still able to offer our services we do not re. feet either work or paiii,'

Of Jane Eyre fever, the young ladies
initiating the heroine, the young men
Mr.. Rochester, just as half the youths
OF today imagine themselves suddenly
transformed from pale reprints of
their ancestors into vital, enchantingly
vicious persons resembling Scarlet
O'Hara and Rhett Butler.
Jane Eyre was as shocking to her
generation as Scarlet O'Hara has
been to the cherished, traditional con-
cept of gentle Southern womanhood,
and she has, furthermore, remained
perennially popular The story was
made into a drama in Germany, and
in 1854 German company in New
York played it under the title die
Waise Won Lowood" So great was
their success that John Brougham,
the Irish actor and playwright, made
an English version, entitled The
Orphan of Lowood' for Laura Keene.
In general. the German dramatiza-
ton, written by Nine. Birch-Pfeiffer,
was copied, borrowed, used and trans
lated occasionally, with due credit,
but no royalties, as the copyright laws
on plays amounted to less than
nothing.
Maggie Mitchell great star of her
day, found out about that in 1870
when she was in Chicago in a play,
and word drifted out that Jane Eyre"
was doing big business in New York.
She tried to get versi i of the piece,
but no luck. Then a playwright she
knew came around and told her he
had new script, hot off the quill
pen, that he wanted her to read. It
was one of his best, said he. She
read it. 1t turned out to be Jane
Eyre" lifted in toto from an adapta-
ton by somebody or other She COL
lected company and for a mere 81
years toured the country in the role,
her last performance dating 1891.
Her greatest rival in the role was
Charlotte Thompson, who was born
within walking distance of Charlotte
Bronte's home in England, and who
started off her career in the part in
1874. In 1888 New York newspaper
remarked, There is some excuse for
the young lady who asked at the Ii
brary of Jane Eyre by Charlotte
Thompson, since the actress has ap-
peared in the part thousands o. times. !"
Miss Hepburn probably has no in
tention of entering into an endurance
contest with these ladies ct the stage,
but If she is determined to re-establish
herself on Broadway and in every city
that suffered "The Lake" or heard
about it, she has at least chosen a
stout, long-winded dramatic war horse
for the race to enduring fame.
