elected instead to add q new master
to its faculty. His choice was the
Rev. James Henderson, school ractor
from 1918 to 1929.
From Missionary EndeAvor.
The new master, who came to st.
Adams with his wife, Blanche Hem
derson, and their infant son "Jim-
mie'' to take up resident quarters
in the school, had been serving in
missionary field work In the great
Northwest. An impressive figure, he
stood 6 feet inch and weighed 225
pounds.
From the first he ranked as senior
master on the faculty. He became
as well coach in three major
sports, In addition to his duties as
q teacher OF mathematics and sacred
studies. George p, McGehee, one
of his students of those days and
now a fellow member of the faculty,
says of his former teacher: His
great energy and warm m-hearted af-
lection for his fellowmen, his clean
Christian living and his straight
thinking have nodded st. Adams
graduates by the very fact of their
simple reality. His was the privil-
ege-with Mr.. and Mrs. Church-of
being the core of the foundation on
which the great st. Adams Of today
was built"
Born in Belfast, James Henderson
came to Massachusetts, as boy
Of 8. His preparation for his life
|of service was begun through teach
ing. His schools were, Taft, Trinity
College, Hartford, Conn, and the
Berkeley Divinity School.

tired-is open under the old name

Mike retired because he felt he
was too old. He built himself a new
house but when the house was fin
ished time began to hang heavy on
his hands.
So Mike re-entered the grocery
business in a small room next door
to the old store. And the price tags
placed on the shelves brought a
growing line of customers to his
door:
Fresh eggs - so cents a dozen;
butter-75 cents a pound; bread-12
cents; cold meats-45 cents a pound.
Local stores, meanwhile, were SELL

High Nazi Chief
Caught in China
Former Gestapo Leader Is
Found in Hole Where
He Hid Two Years.

PEIPING, CHINA.-The bedrag,
gled one-time ruthless chief of the
German gestapo in North China anc
Mongolia sighed with relief wher
he was dragged from an earthen pi'
under a rambling old Peiping house
by Chinese police. 1t was the melo
dramatic climax of a two-year hunt
"I'm glad it's over. I do not
believe I could have stood it much
longer. I haven't seen the sun for
two years." gasped Charles
Schmidt, who was Himmler's swag-
gering bully boy here for 10 months
at the height of the war.
Emaciated, scantily clad and
coughing with what he said was tu-
b%erculosis contracted during his hid
ing, Schmidt was meek but garru-
lous. He said he weighed 228 pounds
when he went into hiding but now
weighed less than $50.
Can't Explain 1t.
In a driving rainstorm, he was
hustled eff to the airfield for re-
moval to Shanghai. Beside his name
on the list of wanted Nazis was the
notation believed implicated in
murder" but Peiping authorities
were unable to explain it.
Schmidt himself said he had been
sought ever since Germany surren-
dered in May, 1915; first by the jap
anese, who feared and hated him,
and then by the Allies after Japan's
defeat. After fleeing to Tokyo and
then back to Peiping in 1945,
Schmidt said he had gone into hid
ing in the house where he was found.
1t was the home of a middle aged
German widow of a Chinese doctor
in Peiping's east city-a building
full of broken furniture and disor-
dered rubble.
A Chinese reporter who was the
only witness of the arrest said the
police made a long search of the
house-their third in recent months
and finally rolled back a rug and
found a trapdoor. Beneath it,
Schmidt crouched in a hole about
five feet deep and four feet square.
Clad in Rags.
Don't move or we will shoot" a
policeman warned in English. Clad
only in an undershirt and overalls,
Schmidt was lifted out and thrown
the floor. /
MIR. Charley Schmidt" said the
captain unnecessarily, 1--WE
are looking for you"
YES" Schmidt replied YEARLY.
1.-TWO years is a long time"
He volunteered that he possessed
gun and had destroyed all his
papers long ago.
Asked about his successor, Abel
bert Schulze, who vanished from
Peiping just as Americans were pre-
to fly him to Shanghai for
repatriation, Schmidt was o n
temptuous.
81 heard he was working for the
Russians" Schmidt said. "He is a
fool. No man can work for more
than one master"
