Beating in Rooming House
Injuries Sailor Seriously

Beaten, bound and gagged in a
downtown rooming house yesterday,
sailor, identified by police as Ger
aid E. Morford, 81, was in a Sc
rious condition today at the Be-
thesda Naval Hospital while police
sought two men.
The injured man was found by
Mrs, Annie Guise, who operates the
rooming house in the 500 block of
H street NV. Mrs. Guise told DO
lice she investigated after seeing
the two other men leave the place
hurriedly. The sailor was uncon-
scious on the bed with a scarf
which had been taken from a radi-
ator. twisted around his neck, and
his lips sealed with adhesive tape.
Mrs. Guise told police the two
men rented room last Wednesday
and brought the sailor home with
them Saturday night.
Morford's condition prevented DO
lice from questioning him.

'BIuebeard' Mystery
Uncovered in Paris
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Mar. 13.-Four charred
bodies have been discovered by
police in "red-hot furnace" of a
Paris villa, the German news agency
DNB announced yesterday, and SUBJ
sequent investigation uncovered a
"bluebeard" mystery thriller in
which eight to Is women were
butchered.
"Vile-smelling smoke still was ris-
Ing from the chimney" when the
police broke in, the broadcast as
serted, and heads, arms, legs and
other organs Of the women were
found scattered around the furnace
room. The courtyard dump also
was said to have contained a dozen
human limbs.
A "Dr. Plot" is a suspect in the
case, the broadcast said, adding that
the killer apparently lured the VIC
tins into the rented villa, killed
them, cut them to pieces and burned
the torsos.
The mystery was reminiscent Of
the "Bluebeard" Landru case. Land
rus slayings, including 10 women,
sent him to the guillotine in 1921.

NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-Sun Yat-
sen Day exercises commemorating
the 10Th anniversary of the death of
the founder of the Chinese Republic,
were held yesterday at the Metro
politan Opera House, with American
and Chinese speakers participating
IN a program which featured a
short-wave broadcast from Sun
Yat-sens widow in Chungking.
Messages from President Roose-
welt and from Generalissimo Chang
kai-shek were read.
The President said that 'in Dr.
Suns doctrines we find much that
is similar to ideals which inspired
the founders of our own American
democracy. The spirit of Sun Vat
sen lives in the soul of his people.
We are proud to honor both"
Chang Kai-shek said, "All the
political and economic ideals and
teachings of DR.. Sun Yat-sen were
based upon the spirit of democracy
These ideals and teachings are suit
able for China's requirements - -"
1t. Col. Evans F. Carlson, leader
Of Carlson's Raiders, told the more
than $500 persons attending the
meeting: I'VE of the United States
cannot escape our debt to Sun Yat-
sen. The debt is rendered more
poignant by the knowledge that we
failed DR.. Sun back in 1923 in his
hour of need"
The Soviet Union, Col. Carlson
said, gave China the support we
withheld and enabled the nation to
unite under one government in 1928.
From Chungking Madame Sun
said that only those Chinese "who
have been spectators and not full
participants in our national strug-
gle have so little faith in our people
that they can weep and wall and
declare that If help does not come
tomorrow We will collapse on the
day after. The men who fight for
our land and our future ask for
help, but they make no conditions
involving the end for which they
have already sacrificed so much"

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Stephen Foster was given two $50
bills for his song, "Oh! Susanna. !"
He later said that this payment
started him on his career as a song
writer. "Oh! Susanna" was pub
lished by w. c. Peters in Cincinnati
and also by many other music pub
fishers. Twenty copyright records
of 1t exist for the years from 1848
to 1851. These copyrights were de
posted" in New York, Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Maryland and Massachu-
sets.
The publishers made many thou
sands of dollars from this song
which was sung in most of the
settled parts of the United States.
Fosters reward in money was small,
but he had given a song to the
American Nation.
In 1848 boatloads Of gold seekers
came down the Ohio River. They
were "forty- miners" and were bound
for California. Often they sang
"Oh! Susanna" along the way. The
author of the song heard them
sing the words when their boats
stopped at Cincinnati He was, at
that time, barely % years old.
"Oh! Susanna" has lived to the
present day. In 1896 it was used
as a campaign song by the Repub-
lican party.
Another famous song by Foster
is "Jeanie With the Light Brown
Hair" A few years ago, it was
revived" and was sung on the
radio so often that people grew
tired Of it. Yet it is a song which
great numbers Of people have en-
joyed.
There was a Jane known to Eos.
ter, and 1t seems that he wrote
the song in her honor, changing
the name to "Jeanie" Jane was in
deed important to the song writer
since she became his wife. It Is
possible that he wrote the song be-
fore the marriage, but it was not
published until four years after
the wedding.
Foster had returned to Pitts
burgh to live. One day he paid q
visit to his brother Morrison. "What
is q good two-syllable name Of q
Southern river?" he asked.
The question led the two men to
study book Of maps. At length
the found the Suwannee River or
a map Of Florida. The name coulc
be pronounced "Swanee," as though
1t had two syllables.
That's it," exclaimed Stephen
Foster. II will use it in my new
song!"
