DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR 1M ILLINOIS DIES; TWO
 YEARS ILLNESS I5 FATAL

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 2. Gov. Henry Horner, of Illinois, 61, died yesterday after an illness of two years. Lieutenant Governor John Steele succeeds Horner as State Executive.
 Henry Horner established his political power in Illinois by twice defeating the Kelly-Nash Chicago organization in bitter factional fights.
 First elected Governor in 1882, his biggest personal triumph was in the 1886 primary, Almost single handed he whipped the Chicago organization on the issue of boss ism" and become the first Demo- cratic Governor to be reelected since the Civil War
 Although he was Jew with a metropolitan background. Horner held most of his political strength downstate. His position as an in dependent political leader was en- hanced in 1888 when his choice for United States Senator, Scott w. Lucas, won the Democratic nomination from a Kelly-NaSh can- didate.

Saves Body In Try for
 Fresh Life
Doctors Experiment Seven Years 10 Rejuvenate
 19-Year-0 Woman

KEY WEST, Florida, Oct. 2. - Police today pieced together the strange story of Karl von Cosel, accused of keeping in his bedroom or seven years, the preserved body of a young woman he hoped to re- store to life.
 The man, a medical expert in l-ray, holding degrees from LeipAg University, is charged with remov- ng the body of a woman, 19, from .ts grave, without permission.
 Von Corset was quoted by Deputy Sheriff Ray Elwood as saying he didn't want one so beautiful to go to dust and tried experiments to restore her to life with the hope still there that if he lived long enough he would bring her back.
 Van CoSel declared he visited the crypt where the young mat ron's body lay about two years after her death and decided to take the body away.
 He said he transferred it to Key Vests Marine Hospital to which he had ready access as former x-ray employee, and there treated the body chemically for week to restore decomposed parts and then brought it to his home where he later applied beeswax to protect the outer issue.

 The negotiations, now nearing completion. have been going on for several weeks, simultaneously with conversations regarding the securing of air and naval bases on strategic British islands in the Pacific.
 The British are urgently in need of long-range, great weight-carry- ing planes of the Flying Fortress and PBY type. Lack of ships of this kind is vital weakness in British air power. They have no planes capable of operating east of Berlin, which makes it impossible to strike at some of the Nazis' key war production centers located in what were formerly Austria and Czechoslovakia.
 A fleet of g Flying Fortresses, which have a cruising radius of over 5000 miles, would bring the war home to the Germans where it would hurt most. Also, the Brit

(By ASSOCIATED PREsS)

Germany has sent troops to Ru- mania as a precautionary" meas ure.
 Authorized Berlin sources said this move is to support the guarantee of safeguarding Rumania's integ- rity.
 The Nazi spokesman said: We have not forgotten British designs on Baku and other oil points
 Nazi quarters said that while in dicating the troop movement is fol protection of Rumania's rich oi fields which supply Germany with fuel and fabrication for the Army and Navy of Hitler's war machine it is recalled that Germany's pledge to Rumania on August 30, called for protection against any further en- croachment on that Balkan King dom's dwindling borders. At that time the agreement was said to be aimed at halting Russia in any new land grabbing coups in South east Europe.
 British Await Report
 Dispatches from London said the British Government is awaiting fur ther details on reports that Ger many has sent troops and anti-ari- craft guns to Rumania, as they say to protect their interests there."
 Great Britain last week sharply protested Rumania against the reported beating and Kidnapping of British subjects there, particularly oil men in charge of operating Brit ish controlled oil fields in Rumania
 Italians Move Also
 A British radio report received from Bucharest said Italian troops have also arrived in Rumania tc protect Italian interests
 Word spread throughout the Ru- manian capital city today that Germany is planning to assist" in construction of great base fol warships and planes on the Black Sea, presumably with "an eye or Turkey and the strategic Dardan- elles."

PETER KL0E(kNER,
 INDUSTRIAL5T OF
 GERMANY, IS DEAD
Developer of Commercial Enterprises, He Had
 Ups and Downs

BERLIN, Oct. 7.-Peter Kloeck- ner, 76, German industrialist, foun- der of the Essen-Kloeckner Mills died here yesterday.
 Kloeckner was one of the devel- opers of the industrial Germany that arose and flourished in the generation after the F'ranco-Prus- sian war; the heyday of such giants as August Thyssen, Hugo Stinnes and Ebil Kirdorff, to mention only few, all of whom built big businesses under the paternal rule of Bismarck and Emperor William I.
 Their interests interlOcked fre- quently, and they formed sort of oligarchy in western Germany in the control of the rich coal and ore basins of the Ruhr, Saar, AL sace and Lorraine.
 Started With Stinnes
 Born at Coblenz, November g. 1863 Kloeckner learned his busi- ness together with Hugo Stinnes as a fellow clerk, in the old iron merchants establishment of Carl Spaeter in the same town. He ad- vanced to partnership, and be- came manager of one of the firm s branches, the Aumentz-FriedeM Min ing Company in Lorraine.
 Like his compeers, Kloeckner seized the first opportunity to be- come independent. In 1906, he | founded the firm that bore his name: the Kloeckner Iron Trading Company of Duisburg, and then set about to bring a range of ore producing firms under his control | the chief one being the Lorraine Mining Union. Then in 1910, fe began acquiring coal mines, roll ing mills and steel wire plants. The World War dealt a heavy blow to Kloekner His possessions in Lorraine, including visible supply of 8l,OOO,0OO tons of ore, besides 10 blast furnaces, a steel plant and two rolling mills which in 1913 had produced 620,000 tons of iron and 468,000 tons of steel, were lost to France.
 Kloeckner was 56 when thu stripped of his property, but with slow, tireless energy, he rebuilt his fortune. He allied himself with the potash trust, which produced ar tificial fertilizer from nitrogen in

 RAF raiders staged daylight att tack on Nazi-held channel invasion ports and shipping, with assaults concentrated on barges preparing to move Nazi troops across the chan nel from the occupied shores to England. f
 Machine Cunning
 RAF fighters also repeatedly en- gagged German attackers and dive bombers caught machine gunning English coastal towns.
 There was a brilliant sunshine this morning and seas were calm after night of bowling gale
 The French coast was yelled in a mist which offered almost an ideal setting for an invasion attempt but high German sources put a damper on the proposed invasion which was threatened late last Sat- urday.
 Invasion Hint Given
 A landing hint is given by Nazi soldier reporter, who declared the German Air Force may soon be followed by hundreds of thousands of brave German soldiers who are in readiness and burning for &C., tion."
 He reported what he saw and the expression is his own private opinion.
 However, in Rome, Count Cianos newspaper asserted that decisions reached at the Hitler -Mussolini Fri days secret meeting at Brenner Pass will soon be translated into facts"
