He paused q minute, puSsling
over an unanswered question. How
did Bentley get there so fast'' he
asked.
Monnie had an answer for that

for me, right after he called. He
saw this car 70 racing down the
highway, swinging from side 10

MASS OF REQUIEM
 FOR LRISH LEADER
Local Characterized to Honor Memory of JOs=
 eph McGarrity

A months mind high mass of re- quiem for Joseph McGarrity, Irish patriot, will be offered at 8:30 a. m. Saturday at the Church of the Im- maculate Conception at the request of the Clan-na- Gael. MT. McGarrity who was one of the leaders in the Clan-na-Gael movement, died re- gently in Philadelphia after a brief illness.
 The memorial mass will be att tended by members of the Clan-na- Gael and other local Irish-American organizations.
 In announcing the mass, the local Cian-na-Gael today offered the the following tribute to MT. McGar- rity'
 Many of the older members of the local Clan-na-Gael have often spoken of his pleasing personality, and extolled his many virtues, but the most outstanding was his burning love for Ireland. Within his innermost bubhled an inex- haustible well of sympathy and cheerfulness. Behind these quali- ties lay perseverance and force- fulness of purpose that moulded him Into @ real man of action. The part that such qualities were to play in the episodes of the Irish National Movement are known to all"
 He inspired his fellow-men to strike at oppression and subter. fuge and to wield themselves into an insupressible and unconquer- able entity with Q common and urgent interest.
 "Wlth the spirited and invlnclble recalcitrance of . Celtic nature, he embarked on the road of a patriotic endeavor and continued on that road til life's march ended.
 May hls soul ascend to join tho countless other patriots such co ho, in that beautiful land on high"

Veteran Senator King Of Utah Becomes Lame Duck

But they also said that support came from throughuot the state for the representative because he had gone down the line with Pres ident Roosevelt on new deal pol icies. King had voted against most new deal expenditures and he opposed reorganization of the su- preme court, the Wagner wage- hour law, and reciprocal trade treaties. King sponsored bill to deport Harry Bridges, west coast CIO leader. Murdock, on the other hand, had the endorsement of John L. Lewis, CIO director, Late in the campaign King secured an endorse ment from William A. Green, American Federation of Labor president.
 Both King and Murdock are ardent interventionists; both sup ported wholeheartedly the admin istration foreign policy. King was once Republican-in the days be- fore Utah became state. He joined the Democratic party to secure a greater voice in politics for the Mormon church, of which he is a member. He went to the senate in 1916. His term expires next year. He was chairman of the senate committe on the Dis trict of Coll1rnf1ia Murdock a citv councilman of the town of Beaver and a county attorney, went to congress eight years ago.

17-Year Old Girl Kills Brother Just For 'Thrill"

melt McNutt, 18, had left the Wolf home on an errand and before he returned. MT. and Mrs. George Wolf, the parents, told police that Mary had been seeing too many movies and reading too many detec- tive stories"
 Assistant District Attorney Salem Mansour, who took the girls state ment, said she was seized with a sudden impulse" to see what the police would do If she shot her brother. She used a rifle which she had borrowed for target practice. The first time she pulled the trig- ger, Mansour said she told him, the weapon missed fire. She went down stairs for another bullet, returned to her brothers bed room and tried second time. The bullet pierced the boys skull. The girl then went back down stairs, summoned doc tor and told her parents what she had done.
 McNutt, held as a material witt ness, returned to find a grief-strick- en household He told police he knew of no reason why Mary should have done what she did and said she was "in good spirits" earlier in the evening. The girl readily ad- mitted her act when police came to take her in custody. They said she slept well in her jail cell last night.
