second daughter Of King Robert IL.
The romance was similar to her own,
with the principals in charmingly re-
versed roles
In these long-gone days only the
most meager records were kept and
while we sigh for lack OF stories about
such fascinating love affair it is
easy enough to envision Sir John, the
brave, bold knight OF tradition who
came counting kings daughter. And
there was no need, in his case, 10
carry OF the high-born maiden in
the face OF a fathers wrath. Sir John
was persona grata to his royal in
laws, for King Robert conferred on
him, by charter. the Thanedom of
Glamis. as wedding gift. The word
Is obsolete today, but the Thames Of
Glamis became successfully barons
and lords and have been Earls Of
Strathmore and Kinghorne since tn.
18th century.
THE dover that a Kings daughter
brought to the Lyon family was
one Of scotlands royal castles situated
in 4 regal domain. Considered the
Oldest inhabited castle in Scotland to-
day, Glamis had even then come un-
der the spell Of tradition. When For
far Castle a miles distanD was
burned in the early l3O0s and King
Robert the Bruce held his court at
Glamis he was merely enhancing the
fame Of building that had been cele-
brated since before William the Con-
querer landed in England. In 1893 or
1894 the Scottish King Malcolm II
had been carried to Glamis to die, and
some 20 years later it was the scene
Of Duncan's murder by Macbeth. The
story has been immortalized by Shake
speare, and We remember, OF course
how his witches hailed Macbeth,
"Thane Of Glamis."
The castle has secret chamber
whose existence is never revealed to
more than three living persons at one
time-the earl, his heir, and the fac
tor Of the estate. Attempts on the
part OF curious guests to discover the
room have all ended in failure, but
the legend lives, as does that of the
monster Of Glamis. The latter does
not stalk abroad, but has been seen or
heard within the walls, and there are
several versions OF its form and OF
its history.
THE lineage Of the Lyon family
(Which did not assume the addi-
tional name Bowes till 1889 begins
in the peerage records with 1872, the
year Of the marriage Of Sir John and
Princess Jean. His knightly qualities
have been passed down through IA
generations Of descendants, for the
Lyons. later the Strathmores, figure
in every event in Scottish history.
The most tragic event In the long
annals Of the Lyons took place just
400 years ago. In 1537-the date is
frequently given as July 1.-THE Lady
Janet, widow Of the sixth lord. paid
the penalty Of witchcraft She was
'barbarously burned at the stake on
Edinburgh Castle Hill. only a mile
from that Holyrood Palace where her
descendant will preside as queen over
royal functions for a week in July ir
this happier year 1887. The terrible
charge against Lady Janet was proved
false, and in l543 the lands Of Glamis
which had been forfeited to the crown,
came back to the family. Patrick
ninth lord. was elevated to the rank of
Earl Of Kinghorne in 1906. and the

Gift Unique Donation
To Welfare of U. S.
By DAVID p. SENTNER

by DAVID r. SENINEh
NEW YORK, Dec. 13 G.N.sJ.
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chairman Of
General Motors Corporation, to-
day blazed a new trail in philan-
thropy.
In announcing plans for donat-
ing approximately $10,0O0,000, to
endow a foundation for the pro-
motion Of "a wider knowledge Of
basic economic truths" the auto
magnate expressed the hope it
would advance the interests OF
the nation at large.
Among the securities to be trans
fered by Sloan to the economic
truth-seeking foundation is a bloc
of100, 900 shares of General Motors
common stock. It is worth about
$3,400,000 at present.
POLICY STATEMENT
Having been connected with
industry during my entire life,"
stated Sloan, 'it seems emf
nently proper that I should
turn back, in part, the proceeds
of that activity with the hope
Of promoting a broader as well
as a better understanding of the
economic principles and national
policies which have character
lied American enterprise down
through the years, and as re-
suit of which its truly marvel
Gus development has been made
possible.
"All this, with the belief that
its progress may not only be
maintained, but accelera t d
through a more constructive op-
portunity, resulting from d more
enlightened understanding on
the part Of more Of our people,"
PERSONAL MATTER
Describing his gift as entirely a
personal matter, Sloan said the
foundation would concentrate
mostly on a single objective
The promotion Of a wider knowl.
edge Of basic economic truths
generally accepted as such by au-
thoritieS Of recognized standing
and as demonstrated by experience
as well as a better understanding
OF economic problems"

PRISON KILLERS
TO FACE MURDER
CHARGES IN S, C.
Escape Baked, Men
Stab Official

COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 13
0.N.S0.-Six desperate convicts
who jeered at the pleas of a gov
ernor, sulked in solitary confine'
ment here today as their attempt
to escape was baked by a captain
of guards who died rather than
assist them.
All six convicts probably will
stand trial for murder at the Janu-
ary term of court, Solicitor A.
Fletcher Spiegener said.
The captain, j. Olin Sanders,
died from a dozen stab wounds in
flicted after Governor Olin D.
Johnston. unable to persuade the
men to give themselves up, gave
the order that drove the convicts
from their barricade with a bar
rage of tear gas.
USED WOODEN GUN
The convicts had obtained
permission to go to his office after
breakfast and there took him
prisoner with a expertly fashioned
wooden pistol, after the manner
of the late John Dillinger.
They stabbed Sanders to death
when Gov. Olin Johnston refused
them freedom. National guards
men quickly drove them out with
a barrage of tear gas.
William B. Woods, Biloxi, Miss,
serving a term for highway rob-
berry, was reported to be the leader
in the plot. His main aide was
James V. Blair, 27, of Sumter,
S. c., also robber.
ARGUMENTS FUTILE
They had separately obtained
the convicts into surrender. The
Governor tried to argue with the
men and even promised they
would not be disciplined if Cap
tain Sanders were freed.
They jeered him and the Gov
ernor told the guardsmen to give
it to them" Choking from the |
gas, the men stumbled out leaving
Captain Sanders dying from a
dozen stab wounds.
