 Drives to Main Road Swiston then drove bcak to the main road and headed south. He stopped his shiny, new car about 1000 feet from his home, took out the hose he purchased last week, and put the finishing touches on his preconceived plan by inhaling car- bon monoxide. The short, myster- ious note bidding farwell to his parents and establishing "she spoiled me" as his motive, was written while the fumes overcame him.
 It was revealed today that Swis- ton and Dorothy quarreled last Thursday. Mrs. Margaret Hapke, the girls widowed mother, said Swiston came to her home, 230 Hill street this city, to see Dorothy, and a quarrel ensued. The mother quoted Dorothy as saying later, I'm not going out with him any more." On the night of the tragedy, Mrs. Hapke said, Dorothy remarked, I'm going to tell him tonight"

 Friends of Swiston were stunned by his violent death and were un- able to shed light on his motive for killing himself and the girl.

Cleveland, Oct. 24-UP)- Col. Frank Knox, publisher of the Chi cago ally News, today advocated free trade with South America and a prompt removal of unnecessary trade barriers with other countries" as step toward economic prosper ity and world peace.
 We ought to make South Amer ica an economic part of our system" Colonel Knox said in an address before the Cleveland chamber of commerce. T am convinced that our future needs would be advanced by an approximation of what would be free trade with that great area-the last great virgin continent any, where"
 Colonel Knox said that the gov- ernment should be restored to its proper function as an umpire-to make fair rules of business and see that they are observed"

MANUFACTURERS ARE AGAINST WAR
Connecticut Plant Owners Pledged to Oppose U. s.
 Entering Europe Mess

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 24.-CUP)
 The Manufacturers Association of Connecticut, through its presi- dent, E. Kent Hubbard, today was pledged as opposed to the United States becoming involved in the present European war"
 A resolution approved by directors declared 'it is recognized that in- dustry, and particularly New Eng land industry. in time of emer- gency is a great weapon of national defense, and if the need comes, in- dustry will again respon, but the Manufacturers Association of Con- necticut believes that not only the interests of the country at large but of industry itself will be best served if every effort is made to preserve this nations neutrality"
 Speaking at the associations an- nual meeting. Hubbard declared the United States had not yet solved then economic and unemployment probablem resulting from the last World War and should be wary of propaganda aimed at bringing the country into the current conflict.
 Europe on Blind Jaunt
 An obligation of organized in- dugtry, he said, was to take due cognizance of the unacceptable which is plainly evident, that the govern ments of Europe are progressing blindly without any real understand ing of their destiny"
 The United States, he asserted, "is doing likewise, but with the diff ference that in Europe the vital de- cisions are being made by a mad paper hanger, blood burger late from a Siberian prison, and others who, because of their crucial predi- cament. must act upon impulse.
 Organized industry. he added. call for pursuit of a straight course, a fearless course. which will seek to aid government, to better rela- 7 stionships between management and labor, to aid in the solution of the problems of the individual manufac- 'turer. and in general to protect and promote the best interests of all"
 Other speakers included Lord Marley. deputy speaker of the Bri- tish House of Lords. on what :.ext in Europe?" and Merryle Stanley Rukeyser, economic commentator, on "The New Ingredient: Foreign War"

names did a swell job with their 13 bona fide battles. And battlers they were right to the last ditch
 Quorum Smacked
 Such matters as a quorum were smacked right on the nose by At torney Tobin, who sometime or other picked up some parliamentary law, and who by the way prevented the convention from lasting until press time 6 p. m. today) by point ing out that only the select and regularly qualified at the conven- ton had right to shout.
 ripper" Conley, forgetting that Attorney Tobin had two strikes on him and the third one on its way right down Broadway" insofar as legal matters are concerned raised the question of the legality of the entire convention on the ground that the town committee is elected for only two years and that the two years had elapsed.
 "Tipper" hadn't figured daylight saving time and lot of other things so he lost out.
 Mir. T0bin Explains
 MT. Tobin pointed out that every state in the union, every country in the world, to say nothing of Ger many, that once guy is elected he stays elected until some other bozo is elected to take his place.
 The support which George Gull hane had in the convention was of "the back door" type. It wasn't official in any sense of the word. 'Tipper" Conley said that the mat ter of MT. Culhane'S name came up while the boys were out in the back room drawing pictures waiting for the regular convention to wind up. The name was brought up merely as & matter of discussion or in the hopes of causing riot.
 Culhane Wouldn't Accept
 The whole idea apparently was screwy because couple Culhane men as yet unidentified, said that George wouldn't take the nomination on a silver platter.
 It was generally agreed at the convention that if MT. Culhane had been nominated the Independents would have gone to town" for him but of course you never can tell in advance like that.
 Chairman Hartley was hoarse af- ter reading the roll call of 462 names and considerably disappoint- ed to find only 13 votes actually qualified to give the subject mat ter "the business.
