At the same time, emphasis was
added to the world significance of
the British royal visit with the
formal announcement that states
men Of France and Britain met at

HIT BY DEWEY.
KILLS HIMSELF.
Berg Under Fire In
Taxicab Racket
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, July 20 GNS).
A State senator-Julius S. Berg
shot himself to death today,
throwing the spotlight more di-
rectly than ever upon District At
torney Thomas E. Dewey's sweep
ing investigation of "rackets" in
New York City.
Faced with a subpoena from
Dewey calling upon him to undergo
questioning about "the $4,000, 900
taxicab racket" Senator Berg. a
Democrat from the Bronx. shot
himself in the head at his Broad
way law office this morning.
Plea to Reporters
Berg left an autobiography and
a note to newspapermen:
II have been very sick for the
past two years. / have been very
good to you boys, so give me .
break"
The suicide of Berg came as
Dewey was in the midst of pre-
parations to bring to trial James
]. Hines, powerful Tammany
district leader, in connection with
operations of the Arthur Dutch
Schultz Flegenheimer gang and
the 1O0,000,000 policy racket-a
trial that threatens to involve a
number of judges.
DeuUey's Accusation
Dewey charges that Hines
entered an agreement with the
late Dutch Schultz, slain gang
leader, to Influence, intimidate
and bribe judicial officers"
The trial, scheduled to begin
August IS, promises to be one of
the most sensational and far
reaching in the city's history.
Berg's name entered the taxi
racket quiz after Assemblyman Ed
ward s. Moran, jr., of Brooklyn,
was indicted by the extraordinary
grand jury on charges OF accept
ing bribes from taxi companies
totaling some $4,000.
Was in Hospital
Moran is chairman of the as
sembly motor vehicles committee
and Berg headed the same COM
mittee in the senate.
Berg, who was 4S years old,
served in the assembly for ten
years and was serving his fourth
term in the senate.
A day or so ago Berg left the
Royal hospital here after treatment
for "a nervous condition" His
presence in the hospital kept him
from answering Dewey's subpoena.
The senator and woman, said
to have been his wife, came to
Berg'S fourth-floor law offices in
the Bond Building, Times Square,
and shortly afterward Berg killed
himself.

Cause of Tragedy

BALTIMORE, Md, July 40.
Nine men were killed instantly
and eight others injured-three
believed fatally-by the premature
explosion of $50 pounds of dyna-
mite early today in the Loeb
Raven water tunnel under con-
struction 10 miles from the center
Of the city in the northeast
suburb Of Hamilton.
A tenth worker, reported missing
during the excitement following
the explosion, died of burns and
other injuries at South Baltimore
General Hospital.
Premature Blast
Charles Elliott, electrician in
charge of the project, said no
wires had been attached to the
dynamite charge. He said:
Prom what can find out,
the men had just unloaded the
$50 pounds from a small truck
and placed it in holes in the rock
which had been previously
drilled"
Elliott indicated percussion from
the jar Of = stick Of dynamite
against the rock set off the blast.
Loeb Raven is approximately
10 miles from the center Of the
city and is the city's principal
source Of water. Located in the
fashionable suburb of Hamilton,
the lake feeds the city through
tunnels chiselled out of solid rock
at depths ranging from so to $50
feet below the surface Of the

SHADOWS

Shadows are caused by obstruc-
tions to light. I took particular
notice of this one morning while
sitting at my desk writing. It was
in the late fall, and I was sitting
in the full rays Of the sun as they
came streaming down through the
window and its warmpth was very
pleasant.
But as I continued to write.
became conscious of a GOODNESS
creeping over the side Of my face,
and looking up, I saw that a cloud
had shut off the warming sun
beams.
That little experience revealed
to me why a GOODNESS creeps over
the soul. It is because something
has come between one and God,
and shut off His warming rays.
But God does not intend that we
should be darkened by shadows or
chilled by clouds. God would have
nothing to obstruct that streaming
of His joyous Light upon the soul.
Shadows on the soul and their
attendant coolings are to be taken
as warnings. They reveal the pres
ence of an intervening body that
is foreign to the will of God.
There is but one place for shad-
ows and that is behind US. Let us
command every cloud: Get thee
behind me-" Our faces shall be
turned unto God, that in the full
ness of His streaming rays of Love
and Light, our souls, our hearts,
our minds and our lives shall be
radiant.

Hail storm Damages Crops

Large hail stones, during an
electrical storm, caused consider
able damage to growing crops in
the Delmar and Salisbury districts
late Tuesday afternoon Of last
week. Hailstones were reported
as large as walnuts. Rain that
accompanied the storm was gener-
al over Sussex County and Wicom-

hail was confined to the Delmar
and Salisbury, Md, areas. Win
dows in several farm houses and
in hot houses were broken and
automobile tops punctured. The
most serious damage was reported
to the late strawberry crop and the
young tomato and cucumber
plants. The hail fell for about 10
minutes, the heavy rain continuing
for more than half hour.
