 Mrs. Williams received telegram at her home in Hamble, Hampshire from Philip Williams, who is thu shippers stepbrother and a member of the crew.
 The message said Capt. Williaml died peacefully yesterday, but gavt no other details. The telegram wa. relayed by wireless from the motol yacht Philante, which has Endeav. our II in tow.
 Mrs. Williams also received a let. ter from her husband mailed jus before he left the United States, say. ing he was in good health. Philantt and Endeavour II left Bristol, R. l on Monday.
 Hamble had arranged a specia birthday home coming celebration for Williams. He was 58 on Sept. 20 SOpwith Is Relieved
 Sopwith, informed at his Mayfair home of the finding of the Endeav. our I, said:
 Tt is great relief, but no mar is surprised at the fact, and we die not expect, after hearing that the tow-line broke, to get any news fol another week. Nor is it surprising that Endeavour should turn up ir the position indicated.
 Obviously she encountered east erly headwinds which would natur. ally carry her south. The skipper probably determined on a long tack of 2,000 or 5000 miles on a southeast course in the hope of finding faireI wind.
 T think 1t probable that she now will make for the Azores for short rest and take on fresh water and provisions, although she Is carrying a six weeks supply"
 Left Newport Sept. 12
 Endeavour, defeated British chal- lenger for the Americas Cup 1T 1884, left Newport on Sept. 12 in tow of the motor yacht Viva II, owned by Frederick Sigrist, business associate of T. O. M. Sopwith, challenger fo1 this years Americas Cup with En. deavour II.
 The tow-line parted in @ heavy storm shortly after the departure and search by the Viva and United States coast guard vessels failed tC locate the missing yacht.
 The Viva and Endeavour were l7( miles of Newport on Sept. 13 wher the 540-foot steel tow-line snapped Eighteen men were aboard Endeav. our, commanded by Capt. EdwarC Heard, who sailed Shamrock V fol Sir Thomas Lipton in the 1880 cur race.
 Others aboard were:
 Edward Heard Jr., steward; Lewis Wilkinson, End mate; Cyril Coates chief cook; James stubbins, A. B.. Neville Burton, A. B., Horace Chat. terson, A. B., John Abrams, navi- gator; Joseph Uglow, 2nd cook; Wal. ter and Leonard Pengelly, A. B.. John Sargent, A. B., John Compton first mate; Harry German, A. B.; Daniel Mutton, A. B.; James Cam A. B.; Duncan Currie, A. B.; Charles Randall. A. B., and Robert Barker A. B.

Chinese Air Fleet
 Turns Back Japanese

visers and William Leland Audrus, selected by them as spokesman, said today:
 Huris Defiance at Japan
 There are 8 hell of lot more of us than anyone thinks. am not going to say how many or who they are. We draw straws to see who should act as spokesman, and thus reeal his identity, and what we have to say is this:
 "Our answer to the imperial Japa- nese governments warning is, Go to Helll-Japanese papers please copy"
 Andrus himself, who would say only of his career that. he had worked all along the Pacific coast of the United States. ' He is an aeronautical communi- cations adviser to the Chinese army aviation commission. He said that he alone of the American staff was registered with the American em- bassy. Will Keep Faith
 we accepted our posts in peace time and we don't intend to break faith now" Andrus said, "even though 1t may mean staying until the last man. We realize the re- sponsibility of staying in the war zone is ours alone"
 There was 6 false air alarm at 2:30 p. m. People scurried to shell ter but no Japanese planes ap- peared.
 The city's spirit was high and conditions were normal-except for the thousands of newly made dug outs. The American embassy brought its equipment and the personal ef- fleets of staff members back from the gunboats Luzon and Guam to the embassy building in 8 fleet of Texaco trucks. Families of Chinese staff members remained in empty rooms in the building. Of 64 regis tered Americans who were in Nan king and Its neighborhood before tn Japanese death raid warning, II have left, % are preparing to leave, 10 say they will stay what ever happens, and 16 are remain ing temporarily.
 Working on Dugouts
 Throughout the city proper, gangs of coolies worked on street dugouts. These lined business streets at intervals of about 20 feet, each dugout accommoda an average of 10 people.
 The American embassy dugout was enlarged with the aid of Chinese labor-not because Americans need- ed 1t but because of the number of Chinese men and women who crowded into 1t during yesterdays raids.
 The complete failure, in the first raids, of the Japanese plan to ter- rorize the city was notable. Only five of IS Americans who were in the city at the time used the em- bassy dugout.
 A survey showed that yesterdays bombings, though the heaviest of . long series, were not the most de- structive. About 130 bombs were dropped, some hardly larger than hand grenades probably ticendiary bombs, of which many were used. Oflcial reports said that 20 persons were killed. It was admitted that some wounded might die. Terrible Bombing Monday
 The most terrible bombing of this week was at Soochow Monday. Two hundred persons were killed. Strangely, nearly all the victims were members of . labor gang who were eating their lunches in bain- boo-walled enclosure across the street from the railroad station when six Japanese bombers ap- peared. The workers abandoned their lunches and took refuge be- meath railroad cars-the targets of attack.

 thony Di Giovanni, who ordered Miss O'Keefe,s arrest, said: "this woman has not confessed, but there is sufficient evidence to warrant her arrest on a murder charge"
 But one thing baffled investi. gators. The bullet that killed Frank was not fired from Q revolver. It came from an automatic pistol of the same calibre as the gun Miss O'Keefe had purchased. Ballistics experts sought today to solve that mystery.
 From safe deposit box, rented by the typist, police took fervid letters, most of them written by Frank, some of them written by Miss O'Keefe and expressing doubt of his love.
 His Darling Sweetheart {.
 Frank had addressed regularly as My Darling Sweetheart" 'lGy Wonderful Darling" or My Darling Goddess" and had signed himself Your Loving Sweetheart, George" l" Tn one letter he had written:

 Miss Donanue came to New York on the receipt of word that her finance had died of Q heart attack. They were to be married on New Years Day.

Etchings and
L1hographs

Before the exhibition of the
Autographs and etchingS of Fred
erick K. Detwiller, New York
artist, comes to an end next Sun
day the Division of Graphic Arts,
Smithsonian Building, something
should be said on this page con-
cerT1ing its beauty and merit.
Mr.. Detwiller's prints are strong
and full of character. The scenes
in the steel districts, among New
York's Skyscrapers, on q stormy
sea. are sweeping pictures, strong
and very forceful. His portraits
are likewise characterized by their
strength.
His lines are black and strong,
and the darkness of his prints
contributes much to their at
tractiveneSs.
Some Of the prints by Mr.. Det-
willer, however, are much softer,
and these, too, have a beauty Of
their own. THE Arno, Florence" p"
for instance, is a beautiful etch-
ing, neat, concise and exquisite in
line. This is by far the most
beautiful drawing in the exhibi-
ton.
Mr.. Detwiller is well known for
his prints. many of which have
taken prizes in various exhibitions
and competitions throughout the
country.

Home Versus
Career

Rose Franken, who went to bat
for her realism in Another Lam
guage," a group portrait Of an
average American family, which
George Jean Nathan called one Of
the best plays Of the year, is still
dealing with what Robert Bench
ley calls tribe psychology" Her
new book, "Of Great Riches" car
ries on the theme.
It begins with a young couple
and a mother-in-law. It goes on
to share the brides struggles in
establishing a home. in surviving
criticism and meeting disapproval.
Then, fearing that the public
might get too much Of a good
thing, or perhaps, wearying Of the
same plot, Mrs. Franken branches
out into wider field.
The story stops being just the
story Of a young wife and mother
and starts being the story Of a
newly discovered author. Some Of
it may very well be autobio-
graphical. Particularly real are
the passages dealing with the hero
ines very human reactions over
plunging into print. Eventually,
however, doubt and despair give
way to an overpowering triumph.
The heroine beglns to believe the
things that are said about her. Her
career plays second fiddle to her
social aspirations and her family
interests are pretty well lost in the
shuttle. In between she manages
love affair and is just about to
divorce a perfectly good husband
when a near tragedy reawakens
her finer self.
Mrs. Franken handles this situa,
ton minus heroics and winds up
wholly enjoyable little story.

A Complete
Triangle

The best thing about Pattern of
Three" is that Mary Hastings Brad
ley shows all three sides of the
familiar triangle.
On the surface, it's the same old
story known as wife Versus Sec
retary." Underneath it's not only
the story of the aging wife anxious
to hold her husband, but the story
of the husband who suddenly finds
an ideal companion after years Of
being the lonely figurehead Of a
family.
The other woman also has her
side. She never intended to fall in
love with her boss in the first
place. She cares too much for him
to cut herself off from his life.
She's too principled to let him
destroy his wife's security. So, she
and the husband keep up an un-
happy pretense.
All three want a way out. All
three are completely civilized.
Each wishes he could get along
alone, but there they are, locked
in the triangle. No matter what
they decide, somebody is going to
be hurt. It isn't a very pleasant
problem, however you look at it,
but Mary Hastings Bradley knows
what she's about. The other woman
eventually becomes the second
Mrs. Kendall, but the obligations
of the past continue.

That young artist, still in the
Virgin Islands, now has a one-man
exhibition at the Little Gallery
He is Mitchell Jameson, young,
eager and very talented.
The picture of JamieSon's, which
is now owned by Mrs. Roosevelt,
was described by the First Lady
as being "a delightful picture of
the waterfront, and very charac-
teristic of the islands"
About year ago, Jameson had
another exhibition at the Little
Gallery, and even then, young
though he was, it was evident that
he had talent. But since then, as
this exhibition proves, he has de-
veloped his skill and technique to
such a point that his works can be
said to be really beautiful.
He seems to have caught the
colors of the tropics and trans
ferred them to his paintings. They
are really lovely things-the trop-
ical sea. sky and foliage repro.
duced beautifully in a rare combi-
nation of skillful coloring and
composition.
Unlike most artists Of his par
ticular school, Jamieson's water
colors are Of an exquisite texture.
There is nothing splotchy about
them, with the usual wide,open
white spaces. He has an even
brush and his colorS are beauti-
full.
Such paintings as Road to Air.
