INQUEST TO HEAR
OF D. C. WIDOWS
KILLING TODAY
Janitor Regulates His
Confession

Details Of the murder Of Mrs.
Henrietta Anderson, 36-yearold
widow Of a war veteran, whose
body was found Sunday with her
head battered in were to be re-
lated at a Coroner's inquest today.
Although the confession Of
William major" McAfee, colored
janitor at the apartment build
ing in which the slain widow lived,
was scheduled to be repudiated
at the inquest on the grounds
that he was too drunk to know
what he was doing at the time
he signed the confession, police
were prepared to prove his
guilt" according to those who
headed the investigation.
TRAIL OF BLOOD" ,,
A "trail Of blood" according
to police, will show that footprints
led through the Railways Of the
house at 1888 L st. N. w., from
the victims tiny apartment on
the first floor to the basement
room in which the colored man
was found sleeping in drunken
stupor.
Police also will claim that blood
was found under the fingernails
of the accused in microscopic
examination by DR.. Richard Rosen-
berg, deputy coroner and crimi-
nologist, and that the blood cor
responded with the same type as
that Of Mrs. AnderSon's and that
blood was found on the colored
mans trousers and also on his
shoes.
Police further contend that the
stove shaker with which the VIC
TINS skull was crushed also re-
vealed marks of her blood, despite
the fact that it had been washed
in kerosene and hot water.
McAfee's defense will be con-
Quoted by Attorney Robert I. Mil
Ter, whom the court appointed to
defend him.
Meanwhile, funeral arrange
ments for the slain woman had
been completed and the funeral
will be held tomorrow noon from
the Chambers funeral home with
burial to be made at the Arlington
National Cemetery.
In his defense, the colored man
is expected to contend that Mrs.
Anderson chased him into an
alley with an ice pick.

Coolidge Enjoys
Good Xmas Business

The Christmas business in Coo
lidge is said to be the largest in
any year 80 far. The volume of re-
tail business done here is indicated
by that fact that one store, the
Geo. Y. Wah grocery, sold since
December 1st more than 3 tons Of
candy and one ton of mixed nuts.
This was no doubt the largest vol
ume hanoAd here by any one store,
but with II stores selling candy
here, an estimate of 10 tons of
candy sold here during the holi-
days is not excessive. That is a
whale of a lot of candy, and no
doubt every kid within ten miles
had all he could eat.

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

Looking into the New Year fol-
consolation and assurance that
everything will be all right, one
must surely keep an eye on the
trail behind or there is little
promise that we shall not be liter
ally ruined in the next twelve
months.
Look at the dissension in the
ranks of labor. c. l. o. is at the
throat of A F. of L. Both will
"dry-gulch" the capitalists if it can
be done Meanwhile capital is build
ing bulwarks against what it con
siders unfair trespasses by labor.
What will happen if labor becomes
really organized? Not much. 1t will
be too human and go to far. Then
public opinion, our best politician
when aroused, will be there to hold
it in line.
Now turn to the oriental dragon
threatening to plunge the whole
world into war. The bombing of the
Panay could very easily be the
spark needed to set off the fire
works. Apologies might suffice to
quiet things at the State Depart
ment for while, but they are no
guarantee that the radio, press and
platform will not fan into a flame
the already smoldering resentment
in the minds of Americans. Not
every day is one of our battleships
blown to bits.
The man on the street is visibly
worried. There is something ter
rible about war, something which
clutches at his heart and makes him
turn his eyes to Heaven with
prayers for peace But after all, at
this time last year he was panicky
over the dangers of the war in
Spain. Nothing much happened. 1t
is just as likely he will be killed by
an automobile before he reaches
the next block. Over two hundred
went that way on Christmas Day,
but you do not hear much about it
from the man on the street.
What of the present deadlock
aruond the Capitol? The Supreme
court cannot agree with the Presi-
dent, the President does not see with
Congress, and Congress cannot even
make up its own mind. 1t is not so
bad though, when you remember it
has been ever thus. They are there
to disagree. 1t is their job.
Actually the prospects for bright
New Year do not seem so hopeless
ly remote if one recalls the times
that have gone before.

Discovery of Cancer
Relief Is Predicted

Goal tar products are very
active as cancer producers.
They will produce cancer In ami
mails quite systematically.
COULD REDUCE DEATHS
THAT suggests, Of course, that
it may be possible to develop
other substances which simi-

of cancer"
DR.. Parran testified at a closed
hearing before a congreSsional
committee headed by Representa-
tive Ludlow CD, of Indiana.
The physician said that if Suf
ficient radium was available and
more persons knew how to handle
it, that:
Probably as many as 20 per
cent of the deaths from cancer
could be prevented if all the
knowledge we now have were ap-
piled for the benefit Of all the
people"
The Washington times., 1937-02-23

Scientists believe real relief
for cancer is near discovery, Sur
geon General Thomas Parran, of
the Public Health Service disclosed
yesterday.
Cancer, next to heart disease,
now causes more deaths in the
United States than any other
malady, he said.
Definite Progress
DR.. Parran added:
"We have not yet discovered
the cause or cure for cancer.
However, very definite progress
has been made.
MANY scientists think we are
on the eve of great events in
connection with cancer.
strangely enough, that hope
springs not from the fact that
we have found means Of pre-
venting cancer, but because we
have found certain chemical
substances which produce can
