a material witness, Miss Ingram told
police she did not recognize Brune-
mans slayers.

man began while she was nursing him
after he was ambushed on the road at
Redondo Beach last summer. They
spent yesterday together, she said.
Struck in Temple.
Miss Ingram told her questioners

Bruneman was reported to have told
Detective 1t. Warren Hudson recently.
"I've got about six weeks more.
They'll get me the next. time. They
won't use the same pair, though.
They'll send experts after me the
next time"
Miss Ingram's sister, Mary Ingram,
81, was in the beer parlor with a
friend, Bob Balden, AZ.
Two .45-caliber automatics were
fond on Brureman's body. One was

as an employe Of the beer parlor.
Two other men were waiting in the
killers car at the curb.
Armed bodyguards kept visitors
away from Bruneman's hospital room.
His attackers were never apprehended,
but the case touched OF an anti
gambling drive which, observers said,
"clamped the lid own" here tighter
than it had been for years.
A dozen witnesses said two Of the
gunmen were dark and heavy set.
Proprietor Roy Huddle tried to stop
GrueZard.
Detective Capt. Hubert Wallis based
his immediate investigation on the
supposition Bruneman was the victim
OF q private gamblers war.
CIuh Was Closed.
Bruneman's costly club at Redondo
was closed shortly after the first at
tempt on his life. Two bookmaking
establishments at the resort likewise
were shut down.

broke into the headlines in 1880 when
he was tried for alleged participation
in the $4,000 ransom kidnapping OF
E. L. (zeke) Caress, race track handi-
capper.
Caress, his wife and Japanese chauf-
feur were abducted by the Sheldon

WARNING IS GIVEN
BY BISHOP TUCKER
Christian Church viii Fall
Unless Enthusiasm Is
Felt, He Says.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The Right Rev.
Bishop Henry st. George Tucker, new
ly-elected primate of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States,
left today to confer in New York with
the Right Rev. Bishop James De Wolf
Perry, retiring presiding bishop.
=, Bishop Tucker, in his first official
Visitation since his elevation to the
primacy at the recent Cincinnati Tri-
ennial Convention, issued frank
warning that unless the Christian
Church developed IAN enthusiasm for
tts work comparable to that Of Soviet
Russia or warning Japan the Chris
tian cause may fail and pass out of
existence"
Cites Dead Religions.
A student of history, the bishop from
Virginia pointed to the downfall of
religions in the past as part of his
warning to the Christian Church Of to-
day. These dead religions, he said,
have died because they lacked enthu-
siasm and aggressive programs of ex-
pansion; because they didn't meet the
emergencies of ages just such as the
present.
'The enthusiasm of the world to-
day lies largely outside the sphere of
organized religion" asserted Bishop
Tucker in what is considered his key
note message to his church through
out the world. There is much less
interest and enthusiasm in the Chris
tan cause than in many secular
kcauses."
The bishop called on members of
is communion to make religion a
oninant force in their daily lives.
~Ie further held that the church
should contribute largely in the solu-
ton of social and industrial ills of the
present time.
Work to Be Extended.
Bishop Tucker let it be known that
the basic policy of his church will be
the development of a driving mission
ary energy for the extension of the
church's work into every field of hu-
knan life and into every country
here the Episcopal Church carries on
missionary program.
Officially, Bishop Tucker will not be
iaducted into Office as presiding bishop
until January /; actually, he will be-
gin shaping the policies of his admin
istration Immediately. He is the first
bishop to be elected to the headship of
the Episcopal Church under a new
policy which gives him broad authori-
ties in the administrative and spiritual
realms of the church

AskOv Attendance Small.

The attendance at the Askov base
ball games has been rather small
this year; it seems that if the team
is not at the top of the ladder then
people lose interest. There was only
a small crowd present Sunday, and
those who failed to come surely
missed a good game. Roland Keller
had a gala day at third base, had
more assists than the rest of the boys
put together, and fielded every one
of them perfectly in addition to catch
ing a nice fly ball. That is not
intended as minimizing the efforts
of the rest of the team for they all
played "heads-up" ball and as re-
suit Moose Lake had to go home de-
feated.

Many amateurs neglect h e ir
peonies after the Towering season,
quite unmindful of the fact that
plants have Immediately started max
ing their beds for the next season.
Peony plants should be watered faith
fully and copiously all through the
hot summer months. They will re-
pay this care by giving extra fine
blooms the following year. A long
time is required to make peony buds.
Cyclamen plants should be left in
pots and set under a tree until fall.
Do not plant in the ground. In fall
repot, give a little plant food, take
into the house and they will bloom in
December.
To kill weeds on driveway and
garden paths, try one-half pound of
powdered arsenate of lead, dissolved
in two gallons of cold water, heated
to boil with constant stirring, added
to one pound of washing soda,
dissolved in three gallons of water aft
err the arsenate mixture has come to
a boil and the whole mixture brought

weeds. Apply hot with watering

rhizomes in solution containing one
